had been cleared away, various fruit trees had been planted in its place. Red-fruit trees lined both sides of the main roads, laiche fruit trees surrounded the training field, and even beneath the street lamps spaced along the roads, milk fruit trees and similar plants had been added as decoration. Although these fruit trees had not yet fully matured, regular tasks such as weeding, watering, and fertilizing were still indispensable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aze followed beside Chen Qi, carrying a large wooden bucket filled with water. Watering all the fruit trees throughout the tribe was no easy task. Although other females usually helped with the work, Chen Qi would come by from time to time to check on the trees. If he found any of them showing signs of withering, he would dig them out and replant new ones. During those times, Aze was always there to help\u2014most often by carrying the water for him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the long summer months, except for the rainstorm on the way back from Salt-Water Tribe, it had not rained again.\u00a0 A few days ago, Chen Qi had gone to the Chishui River, and despite the lack of rain, the water level had hardly dropped. The plants across the plains were still lush and thriving, showing no signs of suffering from drought.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In just one morning, they had only managed to take care of half of the fruit trees in Qi Ze City. The two were just about to head back to prepare lunch and planned to continue once the temperature cooled down in the evening, when, as they were passing by the office near the city gate, a sudden loud <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bang<\/span><b>\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> erupted from inside.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aze and Chen Qi exchanged a quick glance before rushing inside. They saw Azhang standing there with a dark expression, and the large wooden table in front of him had a massive hole smashed right through it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bo De knew that Azhang had disliked him since they were young. Although he never understood where that hostility came from, now that Azhang had become the chief of his clan, Bo De knew that maintaining good relations with him\u2014no matter what\u2014would be to his own advantage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He knew that Azhang and Ali had always been close. What was meant to be a simple question unexpectedly made Azhang explode right in front of him. Looking at the large wooden table that had just been smashed apart, Bo De couldn\u2019t help feeling a flicker of fear, though his face darkened with anger and resentment. He couldn\u2019t help recalling how, back then, it had been Azhang who had taken the lead in insisting on staying behind in the tribe\u2014causing him to lose many of his strongest females.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

He was just about to ask what had happened when Aze suddenly grabbed his wrist and gave a small shake of his head, signaling him not to speak.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that, Chen Qi could only swallow the words that had risen to his lips and quietly stand off to the side with Aze.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Azhang saw the two enter, he reined in his temper slightly. Noticing that a few others, drawn by the commotion, were also approaching to check what was going on, he decided against confronting Bo De any further for the moment. After all, he was now representing all of Qi Ze City, while Bo De stood for the Lion-Wolf Tribe. Though Azhang had no fondness for Bo De, his resentment was directed at the man himself, not his tribe.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang took a deep breath, and once his expression returned to normal, he withdrew his hand. \u201cSorry, my hand slipped.\u201d He wasn\u2019t addressing Bo De with this remark, but Chen Qi and Aze, who were standing beside him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;&#8230;\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hands slipped enough to smash a large wooden table?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After giving a brief explanation, Azhang said no more and turned to leave the office.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After seeing Azhang leave, Aze cast a brief, cool glance at Bo De and then pulled Chen Qi along as they left. Before exiting, Chen Qi looked back and saw Bo De staring at them with a dark expression, his eyes even tinged with a trace of resentment. Frowning, Chen Qi followed Aze, striding away.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside, those who had heard the commotion had originally wanted to come over and see what was happening. By the time Aze and Chen Qi stepped out, the crowd had already dispersed, and Azhang\u2019s whereabouts were unknown.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the first time Chen Qi had seen Azhang lose control of his emotions, and he couldn\u2019t help but feel a bit worried. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s going on with Azhang? Is everything alright?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aze\u2019s grasp slightly tightened around Chen Qi\u2019s wrist and reassured him, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Uncle Azhang will be fine.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi hesitated for a moment and asked, \u201cDid he have a grudge against that person?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The man Chen Qi was referring to was naturally Bo De. Aze paused for a moment and said, \u201cHe was our former chief.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChief?\u201d Although he occasionally heard others mention bits and pieces about the tribe\u2019s past, seeing how Azang cared about those who had merged into the Lion-Wolf Tribe, he hadn\u2019t expected that he would have such a big conflict with the former chief. What exactly had been said between the two that had made Azhang so furious?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Chen Qi\u2019s confusion, Aze hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and explained, \u201cHe is the man Uncle Ali was supposed to be mates with.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After leaving the office, Azhang ran home as fast as he could. Because of Bo De\u2019s arrival, he didn\u2019t want Ali to see him. Using Chen Qi\u2019s name as an excuse, he had Ali help make two sets of clothes. From weaving the fabric, dyeing, cutting, to sewing, everything was done personally by Ali. Even the task of teaching other tribes\u2019 members skills was assigned to someone else. So for these two days, aside from tending the crops in the courtyard morning and evening, Ali barely stepped outside at all.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, he knew about Bo De&#8217;s arrival.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To provide some shade, Ali\u2019s courtyard also had a fig tree planted, but it had only been planted in the summer. By now it had just grown to about two meters, still far shorter than Chen Qi\u2019s tree, which was already over ten meters tall and cast a shadow that could cover half a house.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The roof was covered with some branches and wild grass to block the direct sunlight. This way, the branches and grass could also be dried in the sun and later used directly for firewood.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as Azhang entered the house, he saw Ali sitting not far from the doorway, with two bundles of raw wool at his feet. His hands moved deftly as he wove the fabric, his expression unusually focused. The breeze blowing in from the door gently lifted a few strands of his bangs, taking away some of the heat.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Have things at the tribe been arranged?\u201d Lately, too many people had come into Qi Ze City, and as the tribe\u2019s chief, Azhang naturally had to keep track of everything. Although he usually returned home for the three daily meals, it was clearly not yet the usual lunchtime.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Ali sitting not far away, smiling warmly at him, Azhang felt the restlessness in his heart since earlier melt away, as if soothed by a pair of gentle, warm hands. He stepped forward a few paces, pulled Ali into his embrace, buried his head in the hollow of Ali\u2019s neck, and nuzzled lightly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali laughed and gently tapped his head. \u201cHow old are you now, and you\u2019re still acting so spoiled?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWill you stay with me forever?\u201d Azhang asked in a muffled, gruff voice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something and asked cautiously, \u201cWhat did Bo De say to you?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang\u2019s body stiffened for a moment, and he tightened his hold on Ali, enough to make him slightly uncomfortable. However, he didn\u2019t push him away. Instead, he gently turned his head, looking at his slightly disheveled hair, and said, \u201cAzhang, we are already mates.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the beastmen, mates remain together for life\u2014once bonded, they stay loyal to each other unless one of them dies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBo De is single now.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAzhang!\u201d Ali suddenly barked sharply. Startled by the sudden anger, Azhang looked up and saw Ali staring at him with a cold expression, his heart skipping a beat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali took a deep breath. \u201cWhat was between Bo De and me was something from decades ago. I don\u2019t know what made you think I\u2019d ever be with him again, but let me make one thing clear: whether you\u2019re female or male, you are my mate now. That means \u2014 now and in the future \u2014 you can only be my mate. Since you chose me, even if a stronger male were to show up and try to take you away, I would never let go.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang stared at him, motionless.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali reached out and cupped his face, his gaze steady as he made Azhang look directly at him. \u201cOf course, if my leg hadn\u2019t been injured back then, I might have become mates with Bo De. But now, I\u2019m actually grateful that I hurt my leg saving you \u2014 otherwise, how would I have ever known there was a fool who\u2019d quietly stayed by my side for decades?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali let out a soft laugh and went on, \u201cYou can\u2019t deny my feelings now just because of what happened in the past. If you still feel uneasy, then I can go tell the entire tribe right now \u2014 that you, Azhang, are my mate, and mine alone. No one can take you away from me. And of course, I promise you this \u2014 I will never leave your side of my own accord.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing the firmness in Ali\u2019s voice, the corners of Azhang\u2019s eyes turned slightly red \u2014 as if the dust that had settled in his heart for decades was suddenly wiped clean.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

He gently patted the hand covering his mouth, signaling the other person to let go.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Axu shot him a warning glare and pulled him away in the opposite direction. Only after they had walked far enough that the people inside the house wouldn\u2019t notice them did he finally let go.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu\u2019s face flushed slightly from struggling. \u201cBrother\u2026 they\u2026 they\u2019re both females, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu had been assigned today to help tend the vegetables in the garden. After finishing the meeting, Axu wanted to speak with him about what had been discussed, but as soon as he reached the edge of the garden, he saw Azhang storming home, his face dark and urgent. Since Axu lived in Qi Ze City and Azhang was the tribe leader, he worried something serious had happened and intended to ask if there was anything he could help with. However, he hadn\u2019t even entered the courtyard when he overheard this conversation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Axu standing dazed at the door of Azhang\u2019s house, Ashu was about to call out to him, but his own brother immediately pulled him aside and covered his mouth. Thus, Ashu also overheard the shocking conversation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Axu tapped him lightly on the head as a warning. \u201cForget everything you just heard. Don\u2019t tell anyone.\u201d He had never heard of female-to-female relationships among the beastmen in all his life, and he knew that such a thing could never be recognized by the Beast God. Since the people involved were keeping it secret, he certainly didn\u2019t want to spread it just because he had overheard it by accident.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI understand.\u201d Although Ashu was young, he knew what was appropriate to say and what wasn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two brothers exchanged a glance. Ashu felt inexplicably awkward, rubbed his nose, and decided to just go back to continue his work.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89aa6d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1a89aa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44373b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44373b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Words from the Translation Crew<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal;\">Miiya: Silly Azhang \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-563a1ca5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"563a1ca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-60e6f737 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"60e6f737\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71a7c28b\" data-id=\"71a7c28b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58978080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58978080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Translator: Miiya<\/em><br \/><em>Editor: MushroomKnight73<br \/>Proofreader: Yume<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50d02f6c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"50d02f6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e340787 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e340787\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71b50dfb\" data-id=\"71b50dfb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3078c43a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3078c43a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Editor stepping into the realm of MTL translating, starting with CLWP.
