CHAPTER 6

Before, Wang Jin used to have many maids who took care of everything for him like food, clothes, and transportation. His home was always busy with guests who talked to him, made beautiful art and poems, and played music for him. They often played the piano and flute, creating lovely music. Even though life was extravagant, it felt very luxurious and suffocating.

Now? It was nothing like it is now...

Wang Jin shook his head, letting go of the memories of a life that seemed to belong to someone else. Those were the things from a past life. He knew that one must always look forward, not in the past.

But, for now, it was best not to think about it. What kind of life did the previous owner of this body, this so-called lunatic, have before? How did he end up with such a weak and delicate body?

Wang Jin was very curious, but he couldn't remember anything about his life before he ended up in this new tribe.

When the leader of the Danmu tribe arrived, he gave him a room that was even worse than most. It only had a basic bed and lacked any comforts or amenities.

Every day, a caring brother named Amu would bring food to Wang Jin. Despite having a gentle nature and a sprained foot, Amu made sure to take care of Wang Jin. The person who previously owned this body was unable to take care of himself, so Amu took on that responsibility.

Amu visited briefly and rarely, only once a day. When he left, other tribe members would steal Wang Jin's food and things. Since Wang Jin couldn't clearly communicate his needs, he had to defend himself aggressively. His desperate reactions often led to big fights. The thieves would then accuse him of being crazy and claim he attacked them for no reason.

This repeating situation caused the tribe to exclude him more. Not many people wanted to talk to him, and everyone started to believe that he was crazy and aggressive.

But In fact, the original body had never started a fight with anyone who didn't start it first. Because he was not very strong and was easily hurt, he couldn't really be very aggressive. Amu had tried to tell everyone this, but no one listened.

Because of this, everyone avoided the original body and kept their distance. Otherwise, if the original body appeared, even a crazy person would have been very popular with the orcs in this unfamiliar world where brother (ger) were rare.

"Amu..." Wang Jin looked down, holding the bowl, and whispered gently.

The man listened attentively and asked, "Amu?"

Yuan Heng thought about the tribe member with the injured leg. He has a gentle nature, and the leader asked him to look after the little lunatics meals every day.

He had heard that for a while, this crazy person would get angry at anyone who approached him, except for Amu. When he first found out about this, Yuan Heng thought, This crazy person knows well; he doesn't harm Brother Amu, who is nice to him. But now...

Yuan Heng looked at Wang Jin, who appeared even more fragile in the moonlight. His face softened, and his eyebrows relaxed a bit.

Now, it appears that this little lunatic might actually be a kind person, at least he hasn't been hostile towards me.

Standing up, Yuan Heng reached out and playfully tousled Wang Jin's hair. His hair felt soft, like the down of a small animal, and was very enjoyable to touch. "Finish your drink and go rest. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for Brother Amu to come and keep you company."

Wang Jin looked up, his eyes reflecting the stars above. Yuan Heng felt like Wang Jin's eyes were shining like stars, which touched his heart.

"I need to bathe." Wang Jin said, giving the empty bowl to Yuan Heng.

"...A bath?"

In the tribe, most people only bathed every three or four days. This little lunatic had already been washed by him before being brought here. To ask for another bath so soon was surprising.

The beastmen usually bathed in the river, but his brother couldn't handle cold water. So, if the little lunatic wanted to bathe now, it meant Yuan Heng had to fetch water and warm it up for him. Yuan Heng sighed quietly but agreed, "Okay, I'll get some water and heat it for you."

Wang Jin looked thankful and said, "Thanks."

Yuan Heng smiled and told him to wait there as he would return shortly.

The man watched Wang Jin walk into the house, then he picked up the water tank and walked to the river in the dark night.

Thirty minutes later, the water was heated, and the man, without any bathing tools for Wang Jin, borrowed some from another family in the tribe. He poured the water into a big bowl and brought another animal skin for Wang Jin to wear.

As Wang Jin looked at the clothing, he frowned in confusion. "No pants?"

"Pants?" Wang Jin looked confused. "Oh, I see." He said, realizing what the man was referring to.

Wang Jin took a deep breath, put the clothes on a chair, said, "Okay, just wait for me to change clothes and wash..."

Before he could finish talking, Wang Jin suddenly stopped, looking intently at the man. He had forgotten that in this world, they were like brothers, and the man, an orc, was like family to him. This kind of relationship could cause issues, similar to the complicated relationships he had experienced in his past life.

After an uncomfortable silence, Wang Jin felt embarrassed and gestured for the man to leave. "You should leave now. I'll call you back later." He said.

The man left the room as instructed, allowing Wang Jin to undress and carefully get into the warm water. He made sure not to hurt his injuries as he relaxed in the soothing hot water, which helped relieve the tension in his muscles.

Even though Wang Jin had lost everything and was considered crazy by the tribe, he appreciated the man's kindness.

The original body was forced to come here last night. The man didn't come back last night. He let the original body lie down all night and didn't give the original body a proper wedding. Although the world is very backward, there is still a ceremony to marry a brother. Even though it's a traditional practice to have a ceremony for such events, this person neglected to do so, indicating his lack of concern. Additionally, he refused to acknowledge or accept the relationship between them.

In this world, men were recognized for being responsible. When they formed a brotherly bond, they stayed loyal to it, regardless of how they felt personally. Wang Jin was confident that he wouldn't have to think about staying faithful for the time being .

Feeling a bit better, Wang Jin relaxed in the warm water until he felt sleepy. After washing himself without much thought, he got out of the basin and put on the large fur coat, which, although not perfect, kept him warm.

As he lay down on the bed, his eyes immediately closed due to tiredness, and he called out to the man before falling into a deep sleep.

The man entered the messy room, looked around, and then started cleaning up the scattered things to make the room neat again.

After finishing his work, he went back to the room, where the small crazy person was already sleeping.

In the dim light, the little lunatic's body was barely visible, a tiny lump curled up in the bed's corner. When the man lay down on the bed, the lump moved, snuggling against his chest and arm as if hugging him tightly for tomorrow.

The man hesitated, not knowing what to do. The person in his arms felt oddly flexible, as if they had no bones. "..." he whispered, his fingers gently exploring the soft body.

A feeling of warmth spread to the man's cheeks. It was their first night together, and tradition said they should... but he couldn't do it. Not at this moment, especially since the little troublemaker had already fallen asleep.

Instead, he gently moved Wang Jin away and looked aside, thinking about the importance of their relationship. In a few days, they could make up for this moment... marriage is special and shouldn't be rushed.

Wang Jin, unaware of the man's thoughts, slept peacefully, believing the man wasn't interested in him and wouldn't try anything.

The next day, when Wang Jin woke up, the man was gone. His bed, which he hadn't realized was a hard stone slab in the dark, now felt empty and uncomfortable. Wang Jin got out of bed, feeling sore, and slowly started to feel more awake.

He checked his wound and was amazed to see it had healed completely, leaving only a faint scar. The medicine had worked exceptionally well, showing him the potential of his abilities.

However, these abilities were just ideas for now, waiting to be put into action. To make them happen, he needed resources.

Wang Jin realized he had been tricked by the old man's warning about "regret." He was used to a life of luxury and being served, rather than doing the work himself.

The man was busy sorting through yesterday's weeds, thinking about how uncomfortable the little lunatic must have been on the hard bed. The vines weren't dried properly yesterday, so he needed to spread them out early today to make sure they were ready for use later.

While arranging the vines, the man saw the little lunatic standing at the door, lost in thought, staring at his fingers.

Quietly coming closer, the man looked where Wang Jin was looking and saw the injury, which had been bleeding yesterday, now had a scab and the scar was almost gone.

He changed his expression as he took Wang Jin's hand, looking at it carefully. "It's healed very nicely."

Orcs were known for their strong recovery abilities, but wounds typically took a day or two to heal.Yet this little lunatic... could it be because of the grass from yesterday? The man wondered if Wang Jin was really as crazy as he said he was or if it was just an act.

Before he could speak, Wang Jin interrupted, his stomach growling loudly. "I'm hungry."

The man was taken aback by Wang Jin's hungry expression. After a brief pause, he touched Wang Jin's head affectionately and said, "I have food for you, the Bai Yuguo is on the table in the room."

Wang Jin's eyes brightened as he quickly went inside. There, he found sliced white jade fruit on the table, accompanied by a spoon. Without washing his mouth, he grabbed the fruit and started eating.

The man's expression turned serious as he focused on Wang Jin's lips. He sat down near him, but Wang Jin was too engrossed in his food to notice, completely unaware to anything else around him. Only someone with a strange mind could be so innocent and pure.

The man gently advised, "Eat slowly. I got an extra one this morning, it's sufficient for you."

Wang Jin responded with a vague "Mmm..." while munching on fruit, looking incredibly cute

The man cleared his throat, avoiding eye contact and blushing. "I'll have Brother Mu stay with you. I'm going to the jungle to hunt for food and will return later."

The man left Wang Jin to enjoy his meal in peace after providing him with a comfortable bedding made from the hide of a prey animal.

"Hmm..." Wang Jin finished eating and said, "Remember to collect more of that plant we found yesterday. It can reduce scars, and then..."

Wang Jin leaned in and tapped the scar on the man's cheek with a spoon. "When that time comes, you can get rid of this annoying scar, and you'll be even more handsome."

Yuan Heng was surprised by the closeness of the little lunatic, feeling their warm breath on his face like intense heat spreading through his body, making him feel numb all over. He gripped the fur coat tightly, his heart beating rapidly in his chest.

Yuan Heng was startled by a sudden voice that interrupted the moment. "Brother Heng! Are you there?"

Regaining his calm, he quickly stood up in a panic. "Xu... Xu is Brother Mu. I'm here. I'll go out and check."

Yuan Heng quickly left the room without looking at Wang Jin. Wang Jin then put the last white jade fruit on the table and went outside after him.

The brother waiting outside looked kind and attractive, with a slim body and a warm smile. When he saw the two coming out, he approached them with a friendly "Brother Heng."

"Brother Mu," Yuan Heng responded, briefly looking at Wang Jin.

Brother Mu then looked at Wang Jin and smiled warmly back at him.

Remembering how Brother Mu took good care of his original body, Wang Jin's attitude became more gentle. He spoke softly to him, saying, "Amu."

The sound of "Amu" was soft and affectionate, enough to melt hearts.

Brother Mu's smile widened, and he approached Wang Jin with a gentle pat on the shoulder. "Let's spend some time together, little brother."
