Yang QiQi opened her eyes in a daze. She felt that she lying on a pile of cotton.

The light before her eyes swayed slightly as Yang QiQi laid weakly in the white bedding.

After a while, she sat up abruptly, making the quilt covering her body fall down. She turned her head to look around despite the cold feeling from her upper body.

Nian JiMo looked up at her, then lowered his eyelashes and added two sticks of firewood to the stove in front of him without any expression.

“Did you save me?” Yang QiQi ignored his indifference, and carefully looked up and down the ‘high-level alien’ with curious eyes.

With fair skin, long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he was a man with a feminine appearance. From the way he sat there, his height should be about 1.9 meters when standing straight, which was about the same height as adult men in her world. The reason why she affirmed that he was a ‘high-level alien’ and did not doubt that she returned to her own world was because he was still different from the men in her world.

For example, his silvery-white hair, half of which was tied high on the top of his head and the rest was braided. His braid bent and twisted in the air as if it had its own consciousness; another example was the S-shaped silver scales on his forehead. The scales were not lifeless objects. She could see them relaxing slightly and then rising, just like the gills of a fish.

“I brought you back.” Nian JiMo replied calmly, his hair twisted quickly behind his head.

Huh?! Such a strange and unfamiliar language. What was even more strange was that she could understand what he was saying. In addition, it seemed that she used this language to question him just a moment ago.

Could it be that after being poisoned to death in the forest, she seized the body of another ‘alien’?

Yang QiQi looked down and lifted the quilt a little stiffly. She let out a heavy sigh of relief with a slight smile after confirming that it was her own body.

Nian JiMo didn’t understand why her expression changed suddenly, but he felt relieved after seeing her smile at last.

His heart was not as indifferent as his facial expression. No male could remain unmoved facing such a beautiful young female.

Since the new era dominated by the beastmen replaced the old era of mankind, the difficulty in reproduction has always been an obstruction in their development. The basic reason for this impediment was the extremely unbalanced ratio of female to male beastmen. The huge disparity of 1:10 made many beastmen lack partners. Therefore, for the sake of social stability, marriage system underwent drastic changes and the custom of polyandry had gradually begun.

Even so, some males were still alone during their entire life. In order to increase the chance of mating with females, the lifespan of male beastmen had been extended. At first, it was about 120 years, but the average lifespan of the males had reached nearly 150 years now.

And this had also resulted the female to male count to fall to an unprecedented ratio of 1:20 in the beastmen world.

In order to provide a greater chance of breeding, the little ones were sent to the social welfare centre called ‘Nursery Hall’ from the very beginning to be raised together, and the male cubs were grouped from infancy.

The first and foremost requirement for team formation was that the number of team members must be 5 or more.

The second requirement was that there must be 3 or more species in the same team.

In this way, the team that grew up together would have strong emotional connection, and it would not be easy to cause conflicts when they mated with the same female in the future. When encountering external attacks, they would be unanimous and cooperate well with each other.
