Chapter 228 - 228 – Grilled Chicken
Yvonne sat languidly after searching for her husband since morning. Gwen, who saw it, then approached the woman.
"You haven't found your husband yet?" Gwen asked cautiously.
"Not yet," Yvonne answered.
Gwen then sat down next to her fellow colonist. "I'm sorry we didn't help you."
"I know, you guys feel like you can't help, right? It seems the guardian spirits of this place don't really want Tom here." Yvonne laughed bitterly. "Well, I know the reason, anyway. Soon the group that used to belong to Jia will probably join here. It will be very troublesome if Tom is still here. I have to accept it. It's for his safety as well. What's annoying is that he doesn't give any messages or anything. After a few years of marriage, how come he doesn't know that I will understand the reason?"
Gwen was silent for a moment. "But, wouldn't you insist on following him if you knew?"
Now it was Yvonne's turn to be silent for a moment. "Honestly, I don't know, Gwen."
Seeing the two horses in the distance, Gwen and Yvonne both got up together, looking in the direction Eric and Kat had come.
"So, do they want to join?" Yvonne asked Eric, who had just gotten off the horse.
"Let me." Gwen offered to take the horse to the stable. She then led the horse with Kat, who did the same thing.
"Yes, they will join us," Eric answered as he walked to the shelter, carrying his and Kat's belongings. "But, we might run into a problem."
Yvonne walked after the man. "Well, as for Tom. Don't worry, he's out of here."
Eric froze for a moment. "Really? But, I don't know if that's a good idea."
"So what?" Yvonne frowned.
"The thing is, they are thinking of permanently living here."
Yvonne's chin dropped, and she turned around, rubbing her face. "Shit... Looks like I have to find him now and go with him as far as possible."
Immediately I pressed the pause button, then called Seb to join the chat.
"Hey, you don't even know where your husband went," Eric responded after I pressed the play button.
Yvonne started walking briskly towards the shelter. "I'd rather find him now than do nothing."
"Wait a minute, Yvonne." Seb confronted the woman. "Maybe there's a better way for you than looking for Tom, who's out of nowhere."
Yvonne paused, frowning. "What do you mean?"
"I can try to persuade them to accept Tom." Seb started to explain the plan I gave him. "But I couldn't do it without you because you are a witness that Tom is a good person."
A small chuckle escaped Yvonne's mouth. "Thanks for the offer, but it won't be easy, and it will take time. So I'll just go now."
Now it was Gwen's turn to be on Yvonne's way. The blonde-haired woman made a suggestion which was also the result of my thoughts. "In your former group, there was a psychic, right? I can teach her to read minds. She will be able to prove it herself with her power."
Sighing, Yvonne continued on her way. "Sorry, but that idea of yours also takes time."
Well, I had expected something like this, actually. At least Yvonne's departure is not something crucial.

[New traits unlocked]
[Skilled tracker - Yvonne has more ability to track down a person or other creature]
Well, this surprised me quite a bit. It was getting late, and Yvonne was already using the flashlight she had borrowed from my colony. She was still looking for footprints in the grass near the river.
I deliberately didn't show the way because I was interested in the suddenly appearing trait.
After a few minutes of doing that, she finally found a bonfire in the distance, near a bend in a river.
"What? Why did you come to me, Yvonne?" Tom sighed as his wife approached him.
"As I've always said, I'll always find you." Yvonne smiled widely, then sat down by the fire. "So, you're going to make roast chicken?"
The husband and wife glanced at a plucked chicken lying near the campfire. There are many scars on the chicken.
"Really? Are you still having trouble plucking chicken feathers? It should be a super easy job, right?" Yvonne chuckled.
Ah, I remember the chickens in this world are genetically engineered, so the feathers can be easily pulled out and don't look weird. In the real world, there are genetically modified chickens that don't have feathers, and I'd say they don't look very good.
"This is one of the reasons I married you." Tom laughed too. "You are very good at cooking."
Yvonne took over to grill the chicken over the fire.
"Ah, we don't know how long it will be like this." Yvonne sighed. "And I guess you'll keep going, right? There's no way you can just stay here. This place I think is still quite close to…. Our new Tribe. Well, they should have thought of a name."
"Too bad, even though you're already curious about what the legendary plant tastes like. That spice called garlic." Tom rose to his feet, looking at my colony, which of course, was out of sight. "Yes, I might continue my journey, but I don't want to be too far from them."
"Because of the whispers from the guardian spirit?"
Tom shook his head. "No….. It's just, I already feel I owe them a lot. Besides that, I also feel like I belong to them. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth."
"That place already feels like home, huh?" Yvonne smiled again. "Well, I feel the same way as you, dear."
If that's your wish, I'll grant it, Tom. Ah, what a reasonable idea. I whispered to Tom to follow his own words.
"If they're in danger, I'm sure this guardian spirit of ours will summon us. It would be better if we were not far from them." Tom continued, silent for a moment, and narrowed his eyes. "So that we can quickly come to them if needed."
Yvonne kept turning the chicken that was still grilling over the fire. "Nice thought. I will also help them if needed. They were good people."
Tom then moved behind Yvonne and hugged her. Yvonne laughed as her husband began to sniff her neck and his hand moved to her chest.
"Hey, at least do it when we're done with dinner." Yvonne held her husband's hand.
"Why not now? We'll cook the chicken later. We haven't done this in a long time." Tom whispered into his wife's ear. "In the Jia group, we have a hard time doing this, while in our new Tribe, we are too busy and forget about things like this. Not to mention the almost non-existent privacy."
Suddenly Yvonne turned and kissed her husband's lips passionately. Tom's hands began to move quickly to strip his wife's clothes. Yvonne did the same, lowering her men's pants.
Tom, whose lower body was not covered by anything, lifted Yvonne, who was completely naked. The woman was still kissing his lips passionately. Tom retaliated by shaking his wife's body up and down.
Yvonne pulled her lips away from Tom's, then began to open her mouth, sighing with pleasure. Seeing his wife seemed to enjoy what he was doing, Tom chuckled.
"More…. more…. Oooh…. More!" Yvonne's moans started to sound wilder.
"Oh, you want more, my dear?" Tom widened his smile. "Take this!"
As Tom's shaking grew more intense, Yvonne's moans grew even crazier. The voice from the woman's mouth was no longer intelligible.
"Aaahhhhh..." Once she reached the peak of pleasure, Yvonne let out a low sigh instead. She then put her forehead to Tom's, smiled.
"That's it?" Tom shrugged. "Don't you want more than that?"
"Don't be so greedy, big man." Yvonne chuckled. "Later, we can do this to our heart's content. Are you not tired after a long trip? Besides, if we keep doing this, the chicken will burn. Your hassle of making traps for the animal is useless."
"I do not care. Let us eat the burnt chicken." Tom sniffed his woman's neck again. He also gently rocked Yvonne's body which was still perched on him. It was as if they were dancing. "Don't you know, in Jia's group, I miss you even though I can keep seeing you? We barely communicate the way we should."
"I understand how you feel, my dear. It hurts because I couldn't touch you.…. Oooohhhh!!!" Yvonne moaned again as her body was moved up and down a second time by her husband.
"Sorry, I can't take it anymore, my love." Tom is getting wilder sniffing his wife's body parts. "And get ready. It's going to be crazier than ever."
"You are so naughty, big man... Ooooohhhhh!!!
And it's true what the man with the muscular body said. The ups and downs he gave grew more and more intense until Yvonne was speechless, and her eyes rolled back, revealing only the whites.
I, who had only been watching, turned to the chicken that was still roasting on the fire.. Part of the bird has begun to be decorated with black scorch. Are they really going to eat that burnt chicken?
