After classifying Xiong Mao as a bear, the priest picked up the immature panda and petted it, “This little bear looks pretty good!”

Xiong Mao was shy from all the petting and curled back into a small black and white ball of fur.

Zhou Ji felt that the Big Bear Tribe’s priest wasn’t very reliable, but he quite liked this open-minded priest. As for the little panda in the priest’s arms, it really did look pretty good.

However, it was enough just to look at it. He wasn’t interested in touching it or getting close; he still preferred Xiong Ye’s animal form.

With this in mind, Zhou Ji glanced at Xiong Ye and discovered that Xiong Ye was looking at the panda in the priest’s arms with an eager gaze.

He really hadn’t expected that Xiong Ye would actually fuzzy little animals like these…

Xiong Ye indeed really liked these fuzzy little animals. Of course, the most important factor was that Mao’s animal form was too cute.

However, people in the tribe generally wouldn’t allow others to touch their animal forms.

Xiong Ye took a few more looks and then planned to leave. “Zhou Ji, I’ll go and find you some fruit to eat? The gathering team picked some fruit and brought it back.” How come Zhou Ji hadn’t awoken? How great would it be if Zhou Ji could awaken into a little bear just like that one! If he didn’t awaken into such a cute little bear and was a little mouse instead, he still wouldn’t abandon him!

Some mice were actually quite cute!

Xiong Ye felt that way and glanced at the priest.

Zhou Ji didn’t notice Xiong Ye’s expression and said, “Wait a bit.”

Another child was awakening, and the priest placed the newly awakened Xiong Mao onto the ground in order to oversee the other child.

Children couldn’t change back into their human forms immediately after awakening their animal forms. The little panda wandered around on the ground and used its little black eyes to peer over at Xiong Ye.

Zhou Ji picked it up by the fur on the scruff of its neck and placed the panda into Xiong Ye’s arms, “Here you go.”

Xiong Mao was a little confused about being suddenly picked up–although it wasn’t painful to be held up like this, Zhou Ji’s actions seemed a little unfriendly…

Did Zhou Ji dislike him? Would his elder brother also dislike him?

Although Xiong Mao and Xiong Ye hadn’t had much contact with each other, he had always admired this half-brother of his. Only, he had been too embarrassed to approach him.

He felt that his heart would be shattered if Xiong Ye hated him.

While he was still caught up in this matter, Zhou Ji had already placed Xiong Mao into Xiong Ye’s arms.

The little panda was shy and rolled up again, burying its face against its paws, then exposing its damp little eyes from between his claws as he peeked at Xiong Ye.

Xiong Ye couldn’t help but pet him a few times even as he asked Zhou Ji, “You… why did you give him to me?” He had never held such a little thing like this before…

“So that you can bring him to go eat.” Zhou Ji said. The little black bear that had awakened first was already eating, and the little panda would probably also be hungry.

“In that case, we’ll go and eat together.” Xiong Ye cuddled the little panda and went to grab another piece of millipede meat before coming back, placing the meat in his hand so that the little panda could eat some.
