Arc 0 My first mission: And you only told me now?!

"Female, my name is Celeste. Do you have a name? From which tribe are you?" Celeste asked.

"I am…" But before Vierre could even reply, she could feel the harsh wind blew her hair and the sound of Ling Feng's voice.

"I am her spouse. No one is allowed to touch her." Ling Feng darted in front of Vierre and transformed into his humanoid self while bringing some dead prey in its back.

Vierre sensed Ling Feng's presence in front. Although she didn't like him at all, he was better than these dudes and that indecent spectacle not far from them. Thus, she pasted herself in his back. She managed to inhale his masculine scent and the iron aroma of blood.

Ling Feng was stunned at her initiative of close contact. However, he liked her sudden action.

"I didn't know you have already chosen a spouse, however judging from her clothes she doesn't belong to any tribe in this region, would accepting her bring the tribe any bad consequences?" Celeste asked.

"I found her dropping from the sky, she must have kidnap by someone of the other bird tribe from her tribe. So as also someone belonging to the bird tribes it is only right to take care of her until her tribe look for her." Ling Feng responded and grasped the female hiding from his back.

Vierre was shocked after being hauled to the front. She could feel numerous pairs of eyes on her form making her uncomfortable.

"Can we go up?" Vierre tugged the corner of his clothes.

[Affection points at 25.]

[Are you sure that you're not a veteran at this? Why are the points rising by five?]

"This you should ask him. Anyway, as long as I'm able to be away from those indecent things, my mind will be at peace…" Vierre replied to 337.

Ling Feng felt good at how the female had not paid any attention at the other males present. It seemed that she kept his words at mind. He grabbed a hold of her waist before placing her on his back securely. Stretching his two arms feathery wings materialized. He bit the game he hunted and soared towards his nest a top the biggest tree in the tribe.

When the two landed, Ling Feng placed her securely on the ground before placing the game near her feet.

"Eat" Ling Feng said nudging two hug rabbit carcasses to her feet.

Vierre finally opened her eyes and saw what he had been pointing at. Just inches away from her eyes were two dead rabbits. Their sizes similar to a full grown Tibetan mastiff and were sprawled on the ground with the blood dripping from the slit on its neck. Vierre saw tiny dark spots on her vision. She blinked a few more times before passing from shock.

"Vierre." Ling Feng tapped her shoulders too anxious about her condition.

However, Vierre was busy deleting the bloody image on her head.

"Does mission comes with mental health insurance?" Vierre asked the system.

[No, however we can erase your memory of every world.] 337 replied watching Ling Feng carry its unconscious host to a bed made of soft hays.

"That's good…" Vierre was glad and immediately sunk in the dreamland.

--

A little figure was hugging the trunk of the tall tree keeping herself from falling in the nest of snakes below. Suddenly a huge black python opened its huge mouth and struck the place where the little figure was.

"Help…" Vierre screamed as she saw the monster sink its teeth on her flesh and tearing her bones like brittle biscuits.

"Ahhhh…" Vierre woke up and her chest heaved up and down. Sweat accumulated on her forehead and her long black hair cascaded loosely covering half of her face.

Ling Feng dragged her to lie down on the nest again and hugged her closely maintaining body heat.

It took Vierre a minute to process her thoughts what was going on. She squirmed and her hand suddenly bumped into a hard stick.

[Affection points a 30] 337 said while covering its eyes from the host's shamelessness.

Ling Feng stiffened and heat rose to his face.

Vierre looked at Ling Feng's face that was red as a cooked shrimp. The hard stick near her hand twitched and hardened.

"Vierre…I'm glad…" Ling Feng hadn't managed to complete his sentence when Vierre elbowed his abdomen.

"Pervert!" She immediately jumped from his embrace and created a distance between them. Her face was full of embarrassment.

Vierre's miniscule strength hadn't done any effect on him. However, her face and response after having an intimate contact brought him unhappiness.

[Affection points at 28]

"Are you uncomfortable? Does it hurt somewhere?" Ling Feng asked as an elder from the tribe concluded her fainting is caused by low temperature and Ling Feng needed to warm her up. Although hugging her had slowly brought a healthy colour on her face and gradually returned her ruddiness, Ling Feng was quite reluctant to release the soft female.

Vierre heard the notification from the system and gritted her teeth.

Ling Feng saw her guarded look and thought her face was cute.

[Affection points at 30] 337 could never understand how the bird's brain worked.

Grumble-

Vierre's stomach complained. She hugged it and slipped on the wooden floor of Ling Feng's home.

"I'll bring your food." Ling Feng smiled and went somewhere else and came back dragging two lifeless rabbits with him.

Vierre covered her eyes from the gory image. 'No matter how hungry she is, she would never eat raw meat.'

"Do you know how to cook?" Vierre asked when her stomach rumbled again.

"Cook?" Ling Feng titled his head.

[You're in a primitive world. Please adapt to the world's culture.]

Vierre wanted to choke the system jeering at her capriciousness.

"Never mind, I'll cook my food." Vierre rubbed her forehead.

"Can you take off their furs?" Vierre blinked and cutely requested.

[Affection points at 32]

Ling Feng was mesmerized by her adorable look and immediately nodded. He placed the two dead rabbits in front and began to skin them in live broadcast. Ling Feng's hands turned into long claws and began to separate the meat from the skin in a skilful manner.

Vierre's mind was wrapped in the bunch of F word.

She turned around and huddled in one corner to vomit her already empty insides.

[Do you want me to blur your vision?] 337 asked after remembering there was a function.

"And you only told me now?!" Vierre screamed at 337, her little pale face became distorted.
