Primitive Once Again - Chapter 49
Xuehua gave her a slight smile, and the next moment, Sita’s entire face turned red!
Next, Xuehua came out from behind Andy, quietly standing there and sweeping his eyes across every tribesman, before showing a friendly smile.
Thus, a whole patch of red appeared before him.
Amidst a bunch of baboon bottoms [1], the unchanging expressions of Black and his family looked very conspicuous.
Staring at Black and White’s faces, the smile on Xuehua’s face gradually faded.
No… There’s something wrong with these two people…
The scents on their bodies were too dangerous. They aren’t lions, but also aren’t tigers, what exactly were they…
His eyes went downwards, and when he saw Meng Jiuzhao, who was was being hugged in Black’s arms, his pupils constricted slightly–
The eyes the child used to look at him were so strange, so familiar…
“Fa? Xuafa?” [2]
Meng Jiuzhao’s mouth widened to a “口” shape. ▔□▔
***
Xuehua looked at the little baby in front of him.
Black, who was hugging the baby, glared menacingly from behind him.
Meng Jiuzhao squirmed non-stop, trying to get closer to the person before him.
His impatience was too obvious, causing Black to frown.
“Baby, what’s wrong? Why are you so interested in him?”
“Is he hungry? Look at all his drool dripping out.” Silly dad White didn’t think this was a big deal, so he handed Black an animal skin cloth.
Looking at his wife wipe off his cub’s saliva, White felt extremely blissful.
Black took a sniff of the young man’s scent secretly: Eugh– Smells like vegetables, so disgusting!
Looking at his cub who was drooling again, Black felt a little worried: as a Kantas cub, Baby seemed to like eating vegetables more than meat. How can this go on in the future!?
Louis was born a few days after Baby, but he’s already 3 times heavier than Baby. Alas.
Black was full of worries.
While his father was unaware of the true reason behind his behaviour and was worrying about his picky eating habits, Meng Jiuzhao looked at the silver-haired man before him with sparkling eyes. He didn’t even notice that his saliva had dribbled down and was wiped multiple times.
This was Xuehua! Xuehua!!
The universe’s most popular idol, Xuehua!!!
During Meng Jiuzhao’s era, virtual idols emerged one after another[3]. For a period of time, real idols almost went extinct, until Xuehua appeared.
He made his debut as a singer, and the title of the song that shot him to fame was his name, Snowflake. After this song came out, people suddenly realised that real idols could not be replaced by virtual ones. Xuehua’s singing was full of emotion, which was unachievable for virtual idols.
After Xuehua appeared, a large number of real idols started being recognized, causing this profession to gain popularity again.
But these people could not replace Xuehua.
Xuehua was like an evergreen tree, his popularity never fading for 300 whole years!
That’s right, you didn’t read wrong! 300 years!
There wasn’t much reliable information about Xuehua, but everyone privately acquiesced that he was Morattian. (←The planet of mermaids is called Moratti!)
Meng Jiuzhao looked at the young man before him with a fervent gaze.
Beautiful! Really beautiful! As expected of his idol! Just sitting there allowed others to feel the different atmosphere around him! This was beyond the beauty of external appearances! It was his aura! His aura!
As a loser from earth, Meng Jiuzhao only managed to grab a ticket for Xuehua’s live concert once in the past. It was also the worst seat in the corner of the back row, where he couldn’t even see Xuehua’s figure.
Being able to come in close contact with his male god without spending a single penny made Meng Jiuzhao so smug he wanted to show off to others!
Xuehua dada[4] did you know? My dad, my grandpa, my grandpa’s grandpa, and even my grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa, are all your fans! We are your cauliflowers! (Xuehua’s fan name was called cauliflower 囧)[5]
Xuehua smiled as he looked at the baby in front of him. Looking at the shining saliva at his mouth, he smiled and sat beside him.
“Your child is so energetic, you have raised him very well.”
Being praised felt too great–
Immediately, Black let go of his dislike towards this man. He seemed to puff up in pride as he hugged the other cub over, “We have two cubs in our family! Both are very strong!”
The chubby Louis was hugged over to Meng Jiuzhao’s side by his dad. Quickly forgetting about whatever he was just playing with, he happily greeted Meng Jiuzhao.
Xuehua’s pupils shrank again.
If he was unable to confirm just now, after seeing this cub, he could immediately verify the identity of the man in front of him.
A Kantas–
Both of them were Kantases, and this fluffy chick looking cub was also one of them.
But this humanoid cub–
He suddenly recalled that when they first met, this baby called out two syllables.
“You’re– an Earth… Earthling?” Xuehua dug out the long forgotten earth’s language from the depths of his memory, and whispered.
“That… ‘s, right!” The too familiar language made him even more excited. He struggled and finally replied, shocking himself and Xuehua.
Meng Jiuzhao was just immersed in his love for his idol, and did not have time to think about what it meant to see his idol in this place.
You also awakened here after being reborn?!
The two did not speak, but what they wanted to convey to each other was visible in their eyes.
Just like this, Meng Jiuzhao met his first era-mate[6] since his rebirth.
Seeing that his cub really liked the young man, and not feeling any danger from him, Black let him play with the cubs.
So, Meng Jiuzhao excitedly watched the other’s hand stretch out, and thought he could finally hold his male god’s hand.
But then–
“He’s so cute!” His male god smiled, before touching the fluffy hairs on the head of the Kantas cub, causing the cub to peck his hand.
Male god, I’m cute too! Why aren’t you touching me?!
Meng Jiuzhao: >_<
“I should have been the first batch to revive, but I met with a meteor collision when I first got out of the capsule and nearly died.” His male god started revealing what happened to him.
“But many in my batch are already dead. That meteor collision was terrifying, costing the lives of many. Some dinosaur people survived, but of course, they are probably all dead by now.” His male god continued smiling.
“I even collected a couple of nautilus specimens. They’re considered antiques now, and if you’re interested, I can give you some.” [7]
Nautilus– Weren’t they specialties of the Cambrian period? This could easily be from tens of millions of years ago. No matter when you revived, you shouldn’t be able to move around so healthily now…
Meng Jiuzhao’s mouth hung open: Male god dada, your [8] age… Seems to have been revealed, are you fine with that?
“I even thought that all dinosaurs had gone extinct, and that this place became the kingdom of mammals. I didn’t expect that there were still Kantas. It seems like some Kantases managed to survive after the collision, and reproduced here! I wonder which is the big figure who survived!” [9]
His male god’s tone seemed a little gossipy, but he couldn’t be blamed for that. In the era Meng Jiuzhao lived in, every existing Kantas was bound to be an elite at the top of their respective pyramids. The one who survived and reproduced could even be a financial tycoon or a military figure.
“Haha! I managed to fluff a Kantas’ hair! Wasn’t His Majesty the Emperor a Kantas? Who knows, maybe this cub is His Majesty’s descendant! Maybe he managed to accomplish what he couldn’t in his past life!”
Xuehua touched Louis’ head again. He spoke joyfully, but Meng Jiuzhao kept seeing Louis peck all over his hand.
“What’s his name?” While dodging Louis’ attack, Xuehua casually asked.
“Louis.” Meng Jiuzhao replied dully. He felt like he was having a sneak peek on his male god’s hidden side, the side which was silly and funny.
“You actually named him after His Majesty! Haha! Are you the emperor’s fan?”
“…” No way. I’m more of a black fan. After occupying so much territory, he still wanted to invade Earth. This made Meng Jiuzhao vow to fight him till the end.
In the end, they really fought till the end.
Then they died.
Now, only he was alive, but that person…
That person was no longer around.
Meng Jiuzhao watched Louis play with Xuehua high-spiritedly.
Louis was a true cub, one who would become very active after eating. On the other hand, Meng Jiuzhao was a human, and was unable to keep up with Louis’ stamina.
Now that there was someone to accompany him to play, Meng Jiuzhao was very happy to watch them.
He pondered upon what Xuehua just said. The information his idol revealed allowed him to understand much more.
For example, the reason why so many creatures here could transform.
According to the laws of competition, there should not exist so many intelligent beings on the same planet.
From Xuehua’s narration, Meng Jiuzhao realised that if he could survive the explosion from then, others could also survive. Everyone had different situations, and hence the time they revived was also different. [10]
Over time, different people would be revived, and their genes would be passed down. Which was why although they were different species, they could all transform to the same humanoid form.
Also, he finally understood why the people here had a common tongue.
From what Xuehua had said, Meng Jiuzhao also realised that his male god had no idea of the existence of dinosaurs on the other continent.
He didn’t know that they still existed, and were in fact living very well. From this, Meng Jiuzhao could see that either this continent, or the other, had been closed off for a very long time.
Initially, the reason as to why the two continents had a common language was hard for him to understand, but now he knew.
However, seeing that the people here still had a very basic way of life, Meng Jiuzhao easily guessed that every revived person so far didn’t do much. Their largest contribution was to have more offspring.
He didn’t want to mention the other issues, but those people didn’t even discover salt, causing their current meals to be bland and tasteless.
Xuehua looked in pity at the meat mush placed before Meng Jiuzhao.
They were currently eating by the campfire. Since Andy had already brought him back, there was no reason for the people of the tribe to not accept him.
Although Xuehua was not a little sister [11], they were also very accepting towards a man a thousand times cuter than a little sister.
They even started beating around the bush to ask Xuehua if his tribe had any guys or girls as cute as him.
This place was vast, and travelling around was inconvenient, so they weren’t sure if there were other tribes around.
“Our side hasn’t had any females for a very long time. Everyone there are all males, with appearances like…” Xuehua looked around, trying to find the closest look alike.
He pointed at Sita, “They look just as mighty as that male there.”
Their surroundings went silent.
“I am a female!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sita’s angry roar quickly came from next to the bonfire.
Translator has something to say:
Let’s pay respects to Sita and her neverending misunderstood gender…
This is the second release today, so make sure you don’t miss out on the previous chapter!
