There is a large open space in front of the big house where the drifter beastman originally lived together. After being cleaned up, it became a gathering square. At this moment, there are more than a dozen beastman busying around in the square, and sometimes one will see Casso and Qiuqiu fighting in the square.
Lal stood in the square and kept giving directions.
âThese tables are going to be there.â
âHey, you have to put the stove here so that it wonât get in the way.â
âAiya, you have to make sure to wash the dishes clean.â

Cohen walked towards the busy bee Lal. Seeing Cohen coming over, Lal hurried up to greet him, pretending to complain, âWhy did the boss give me such a big task of handling the ceremony? The pressure is so great!â If these words werenât accompanied by a triumphant expression, it would be more convincing.
Cohen said with contempt, âI think you are enjoying it.â
âHehe, yeah. The boss gave me such an important task to show that he believed in my ability. Aiya, I canât disappoint the bossâs expectations of me.â
Cohen couldnât help rolling his eyes in his heart, thinking âI donât think itâs because you are capable, but just because you are very free.â But Cohen didnât want to agitate him. No matter what, this is his partner, although they havenât held the ceremony yet. The most important thing is that today is a great day for their boss Patrik, the tribe leader of the drifter beastman tribe, to hold his ceremony. Hence, itâs alright to humour Lal.
Yes, today is the day where Patrik and Lin Mu become partners. Naturally, it is also the day where the other couples become partners. That day, Patrik and the others went hunting for animal skins to make new clothes for their partners and it took them more than ten days. Lais and the others were alright, but Lin Mu became spiritless all day. Because Patrik has never left his side for that long.
Lin Mu has always known that he likes Patrik, but these days has made him understand that Patrik is already indispensable in his life. Patrik is not only his lover, partner but also his only relative. He couldnât imagine what he would do if Patrik had an accident, after all, there were too many powerful beasts in this world. Thatâs why when Patrik came back from some minor injuries, Lin Mu couldnât help crying. He knew that it is inevitable for beastman to get hurt during hunting, but he still felt sad nevertheless. And so Patrik lived an exceptionally comfortable life in those few days, and all his requirements were met. Of course, extreme happiness leads to sorrow. After a rough sme-xy time, Lin Mu ordered a restriction on that âexerciseâ.

Seeing that the altar is under construction, Lal asked Cohen, âWhen will the altar be built? Remember not to miss the auspicious hour.â\nCohen replied with confidence, âDonât worry, it will be completed before noon. The ceremony will not be delayed.â
Lal: âLin Mu asked to build the altar on the easternmost part of the square this time, so it wonât get in the way, and there is no need to dismantle it after this. It is really troublesome to dismantle and rebuild every time.â
Cohen: âEn, that way, we donât need to rebuild it when we hold our ceremony.â
It will be a lie if Cohen says he is not jealous after knowing that the four couples are going to hold their ceremony. He is also anxious ah! If he has no partner to start with, then itâs fine. But now there is one who stayed with him, why canât he hold the ceremony together? Itâs all Lalâs fault for being so awkward.
âWho wants to hold the ritual with you?!â Lal glanced at the incoming flying beasts and said, âRyan is back with the flowers, Iâm going to work.â
Looking at Lalâs back as he fled, Cohen couldnât help but shook his head, âStill being so awkward. He already stayed in the same room with me and still donât recognize our relationship. But then again, we also lived together before. No, there has to be a way to get Lal to agree to be partners with me. Otherwise, with his temperament, I donât know how long I will have to wait.â After muttering those words, Cohen went to busy with his work.
On the other side, what greeted him when Lal ran to the two giant beasts was a very loud âAtchooâ. Lal narrowly escaped, and then laughed unkindly at the sneezing behemoth, âHahaha⌠Howth, do you how funny you look right now?â
The two giant beasts were Ryan and Howth. Howth quickly dropped those flowers to the ground with his tail, and then swiftly distanced away from the flowers. Howthâs movement made Lal laugh again. Beastmanâs overly keen sense of smell when in the beast form made them feel uncomfortable when facing mixed floral scents, so they will feel much better in their human form. Of course, other beastmanâs reactions were not as severe as Howthâs sneezing. That means Howth is a beastman with hay fever. Of course, before getting this task, Howth didnât even know he had this problem. Ryan also quickly moved the flowers he was carrying to the ground, before transforming to his human form and ran after his brother Howth.
These flowers were picked from the sea of flowers that Sasha and Locke found last time (remember?)1, and they were bright and beautiful. Lal sneezed into a bunch of flowers, and then called a few beastmen to arrange the flowers in the four beastmanâs home. Hehe, Lal was not being mischievous, not at all. Lin Mu said it, decorating the bridal house is very important (Lin Mu: *innocent* I didnât mean that, you misunderstand). Of course, the side effects of these flowers have nothing to do with him.
Lal collected several baskets of pink petals and asked a beastman nearby, âWhere is Misha?â He needed Misha to take the petals. From what he heard from Lin Mu, the ceremony from his place has children throwing petals during the ceremony. Misha is the only child in the tribe who can do this. The boss trusts him so much, he has to leave a good memory for them no matter what. When he found Misha, Misha said itâs very tiring for him since four couples are going to hold the ceremony. But after he managed to exhort 2 cat beasts from Lal, he happily picked the flower basket and went away.
On the other hand, where is Lin Mu now? The four of them are in the big house, and they have put on their newly made clothes.
âOur clothes are too bright and eye-catching.â Lin Mu said, pulling at the top of firefox skin that he was wearing.
Lais is wearing a snow-white animal skin jacket and skirt. âMine is not that bright.â
Sasha looked at his red and brown clothes and said, âNo, I think it looks good.â\nPhilâs clothing is bright yellow, making his fair complexion even whiter, petite and cute, âI feel it looked excellent too.â
âAlright, alright, itâs just my colour is coquettish.â
Sasha fluffed his long blonde hair, âLin Mu, how to make my hair looks good?â
Lais: âYes, please help us to tie our hair?â
Lin Muâs hair is at shoulder-length now. Initially, he wanted to cut it, but unfortunately, there are no scissors in this world. He didnât dare to try it with a stone knife, it would be miserable if he couldnât go out due to bad hairstyle. Since his hairstyle is simple, he doesnât need to spend any time on his head, but the other three has long hairs and different texture.
âWell then, Iâll be your stylist for free this time.â
Lais is the tallest among them. Because of his gentle aura, Lin Mu tied his hair in half and let the rest of his long hair behind him, making his temperament more gentle. Sashaâs blonde hair was tied up high into a ponytail, making him look more energetic, which was in line with his lively nature. As for Phil, he left bangs on his forehead, which made him look delicate and lovely. After they are done, they sat at the table, chatting and waiting for their beastman to return. Patrik and the others went out hunting because the ceremony would require a lot of food. The other beastmen were busy; hence the four of them are in charge of hunting and catching enough food for the banquet.
Lin Mu threw a small red fruit like a small tomato into his mouth. While chewing, he said, âWe are going to be busy today.â
Puzzled, Sasha said, âEn?â
âTodayâs dinner will be a banquet, and we will have to cook for a lot of people.â
Sasha said happily, âWell, I missed the food you cooked so much. One of the bad points of living separately is we canât eat the food you cooked, Lin Mu.â
Lais and Phil also nodded and agreed, âWe all missed Lin Muâs skill.â
Lin Mu said disapprovingly, âTsk, itâs not like your cooking is not good. Stop making me look like a glutton.â
Sasha: âBut itâs not as delicious as your cooking.â
\nHearing that, Locke immediately took the person into his arms and comforted, âDonât be nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about. Look, Iâm not nervous.â He is not nervous but excited. How long has he been waiting? He is looking forward to today! Divine beast god, he can finally be partners with Sasha!
Sasha immediately retorted, âOf course you are not nervous!â It is not you who will suffer later! The result after Lin Mu and Lais was âeatenâ is really worrying.
However, it doesnât matter if one is nervous or not, they need to go out now. Holding each otherâs hand tightly while looking at the person who will be spending their lifetime together, the couples stepped out of the house. The light was colourful, and all the tribesmen stood on both sides of the path, watching them heading towards the altar step by step. Today, their tribe will have four couples getting together, which has a special meaning for them. And today would be one of the most memorable events for them.
Patrik and Lin Mu first ascended the altar. Then they bowed to the east.
âPraying for the beast godâs testimony!â Everyoneâs voices were so loud and powerful.
Patrik cut his finger with a knife and dripped a drop of blood into a bowl of water. Lin Mu tried to do the same but was stopped by Patrik. Patrik put Lin Muâs finger in his mouth and bit down. Then he squeezed a drop of blood from Lin Muâs finger into the bowl.
Patrik picked up the bowl and said solemnly, âOur blood has mixed together, never separating, and we will spend the rest of our lives together.â
In Lin Muâs opinion, he feels that they are already a pair of old couple, and this ceremony is just a formality. He thought he would not be excited, but at this moment he was moved in a mess, âEn, we will stay together for a lifetime!â
Patrik and Lin Mu drank the blood water together, and the ceremony is complete. Yes, it is that simple. There is no beautiful marriage vow, no âYes, I do.â Just mixing of blood, I am in you, you are in me, never separate. A beastmanâs loyalty is in his heart, he does not require the bondage of an oath, and yet, his heart is as firm as a rock.
The moment the ceremony is completed, a ray of red light surrounded the two people.
Lin Mu glanced around at the mysterious red light and heard Patrikâs excited voice, âMu Mu, our ceremony has been blessed by the beast god!â
âBlessing from the beast god?â
Lin Mu heard the cheers from the audience; beast god, what a magical existence.
The couples performed the rituals one after another. What excites everyone the most is that all couples have been blessed by the beast god. At this moment, they believe that being surrounded by the mysterious halo is the happiest time in their life.
