Giant Tribe Bride After Being Stranded in the Wilderness

After a sudden transmigration, Yu Bai finds himself in a savage era teeming with beastmen. In this wild, otherworldly realm, male beasts are powerful, female beasts are rare, and as a sub-beast categorized as an "inferior beastman," he is the most overlooked and easily ignored type. Surviving is no easy feat. After a storm and beast tide ravage the land, he rescues a severely injured giant from the ruins. With the last of his medical supplies, Yu Bai treats the giant's wounds, feeds him medicine, and pulls him back from the brink of death. He swears he was just suddenly overcome by compassion—absolutely *not* because he found the giant attractive. Hodoll nearly died in a fierce beast tide while saving his tribe. He was brought back by an inferior beastman, who neither shunned his head-to-toe injuries nor abandoned him despite his blindness. One day, Hodoll's facial and eye injuries gradually healed, and he finally saw the inferior beastman’s face. Basking in the sunlight, the small inferior beastman had smiling eyes, curved like crescent moons. They say inferior beastmen are the most unnoticeable, but Hodoll felt this little one stirred his heart more than any female beast ever could. A new decree spreads through the beast world: Any male beast who forms a bond with a female beast will receive a plot of land in the beastmen’s city district. Yu Bai is tempted. Life in the wild is unstable—a carefully built home and freshly planted crops could be destroyed in an instant by another beast tide. To secure land in the city, Yu Bai approaches the giant he saved and asks if they can fake a bond. The acquired land can be shared. Hodoll agrees. Yu Bai lays down three rules: 1. Share resources obtained after bonding. 2. No bed duties—sleeping separately is just fine. 3. If either develops feelings for another, the bond can be dissolved. With the contract in place, Yu Bai gains land, builds a house, and no longer worries about hunger or cold. Life becomes stable. But why is Hodoll—whom he’s always treated as a brother—holding him tighter in his sleep? Didn’t they agree to sleep separately? On a snowy winter night, Yu Bai looks at Hodoll’s handsome face up close and slowly withdraws his pushing hands. *Fine, if he wants to hold me, so be it. It’s warm anyway, and I’ve always hated the cold.* Later, Hodoll kisses him for some unknown reason, his gaze blazing. Yu Bai closes his eyes and lets it happen. *...Fine, a kiss isn’t bad. It’s kind of... thrilling.*
