It was already night time over here, but for Bai Yang who had just woken up not long ago, he just couldn't sleep even if one of his favorite hobbies was sleeping.

As the night was still young, Bai Yang felt that if he planned to do nothing at all, he would be wasting his time and his life!

Then, he smiled after glancing at the shy pretty girl, a smile with the potential of being a bad guy….

He walked to the bed and sat down, pushed the thick blanket made from an unknown animal's fur aside, tapped the side of the bed and signaled the girl to sit beside him.

Shame was also a true sign of human entering civilization, facing against the straightforward “hint” from Bai Yang, even after mentally and physically prepared herself, the pretty girl's face still became flushed; though there was a language barrier, the shy red blush on her face and the watery eyes couldn't possibly mean an angry expression?

The pair of long legs and slim waist started moving, as the pretty girl sat beside Bai Yang, lowering her head slightly in embarra.s.sment, Bai Yang could already hear the disruption in her breathing pace.

Hey come on, I just want to make full use of the time by having you to teach me your language, why are you so nervous?

Bai Yang murmured speechlessly as he looked at the girl sitting extremely close to him….

As for the girl, she noticed that Bai Yang did not pounce at her like a wolf pouncing at a rabbit and that had her give Bai Yang a curious look. But she only found Bai Yang looking at her with a bored and speechless expression….

And that made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Bai Yang, on the other hand, was not stupid, after seeing how the pretty girl showed him an att.i.tude where “he could do whatever he wanted to her”, it would be a problem to his body if he did not understand what she wanted.

But the problem here was that he couldn't bring himself to do it, she was definitely a beauty, long legs, slim waist, developed chest and undoubtedly a pretty face, all natural and none of her was artificial. She was also about 170cm tall, but from her looks, she was probably only 15 or 16 years old, which was below the legal age? How could he bring himself to taint her at her given age?

And most importantly, there was not even proper communication between them, he did not even know her name so how could he have s.e.x with her right now? Even when you visit a prost.i.tute, you would also have a little talk with the girl, right? Bai Yang had only seen this girl twice in total; to have s.e.x with her just like that without any proper communication? Bai Yang couldn't do it for sure.

After another round of blind talking and twisted hand-making signs, Bai Yang finally helped her understand that he wanted to learn their language from her.

Exhausted, Bai Yang was really worn out by the situation where there was a language barrier and no translator….

After understanding what Bai Yang wanted, the girl was relieved from the pressure, but at the same time, slightly disappointed and somewhat peeved!

What the heck is wrong with this culture? Why are the girls here so straightforward and daring? Is her family ignoring this?

Seeing the meaning hidden in the pair of big eyes, Bai Yang's heart was so tired that he couldn't even complain anymore.

Following right next was a period of learning, which made Bai Yang feel like he had returned to being an infant; whatever the girl said he couldn't understand, what she expressed was also beyond his knowledge, and the p.r.o.nunciation of their language was so tongue-twisting. To sum it up, it was a tormenting process.

Hmph! I managed the National College Entrance Examination under the threat the stick of mom, a “foreign language” alone can't beat me!

With a determined heart, Bai Yang studied the language seriously.

He was, after all, an adult, whose self-discipline could never be matched by a child. The language he was learning right now was deeply related to his exploration of this world, so there was no s.p.a.ce for recklessness. Hence, once he got serious, his learning efficiency increased greatly.

After a night of studying, Bai Yang learned and remembered at least ten words and could even form a sentence. The meaning, however, was a little vague to him for the girl was not really a good teacher….

At this time, a warm and chilling sunlight started entering through the window, Bai Yang secretly glanced at his phone and noticed that it had already been 16 or 17 hours.

What? I spent so much time and all I remember are about ten words? I remember I could handle more than a hundred words when I learned English?

Fine, that was not how learning worked.

This was, after all, a whole new civilization, the “teacher” also did not acquire a systematic teaching skill, and there was no effective communication. What Bai Yang achieved was already pretty good, that was if he did not forget them later on….

Little did Bai Yang know that there were more than ten people waiting right outside the room and without hearing the noise that they wanted to hear, they left in disappointment after daybreak….

For Bai Yang, even after enduring more than ten hours of tedious studying, he still found himself not sleepy at all.

The girl, however, after a whole night of “communication”, became much more natural with Bai Yang, but the white eye thrown at him by the girl was making him uneasy….

A moment later, the girl left and returned soon, with a wooden tray and roasted meat served in a wooden plate alongside a wooden bowl, chopsticks and a tiny knife.

Why are we eating roast meat again? Is there no other type of food anymore?

Speechless on the inside, but at the same time, seeing the girl's pitiful expression that said, “Let me serve you or I'll cry!”, Bai Yang finally relented to the girl's request.

After the meal, Bai Yang was drawn by some shouting. He opened the window and curiously looked around right away.

On the flattened ground, there were quite a few young men lining up in a crooked formation, imitating a leading muscular man's action and letting out a cry each time they moved.

Are they training in martial arts?

Seeing this, Bai Yang thought for a second, and this thought was further confirmed when these young men were all muscular as well, their actions filled with strength and power. 

Bai Yang also noticed that there were also quite a few muscular men busy either pulling off some fancy moves with a ma.s.sive stone chain, punching straight onto trees, performing weapon dances with sabers, or practicing archery….

Am I in a martial world, where everyone is a martial artist?

At this point, Bai Yang felt that one brain was not enough, he felt that there was an urgent need for him to fully understand how this world worked.

About two hours later, the crowd scattered, and not long later, muscular men started leaving the village in groups of two or three. Bai Yang guessed that they were out hunting judging from how all of them were wielding weapons.

He then turned around right away and started another round of twisted hand sign making for half a day until the girl finally understood that Bai Yang wanted her to bring him around the village.

The girl was very happy to do so, she led Bai Yang down the house and started introducing the village to Bai Yang; her voice was very alluring, like a bird's chirping, but Bai Yang just did not understand what she was saying at all.

This was a very simple yet busy village, from time to time, hunters headed back to the village with the hunted animals before returning back to hunting and the gains would then be processed by some other teenagers under the lead of the women.

The way they handled the prey was very simple, the fur was first stripped off then coated with firewood ash before being exposed to the sun. Okay fine, the place where they hung the fur was at the tree branches high up the village….

The way they processed the meat was even more violent, there was no salt used to dry up the meat, instead, they used some sort of wood to set up a fire to smoke the meat, smoking them straight up until they turned black. After being smoked black, the meat carried a unique scent and they were hung on the trees, making it seem like these trees were growing meat instead of leaves.

There were also other women harvesting a type of fruit in the jungle not far away from the village. After a careful examination, Bai Yang noticed that there was a fixed ratio to these fruits. After that, they would be placed in a jar with some other unknown plants and leave the jar under the sunlight. These jars immediately had Bai Yang recall the type of wine that he drank…..

Then there were these small brats who were all naked. Along with the old villagers, they were beating some kind of plant against the rocks beside the river and strangely, Bai Yang could actually tell that these villagers were trying to extract plant fibers for weaving!

This and that, were simple and natural. Everywhere Bai Yang pa.s.sed, he received a warm smile from the villagers, accompanied by their language that Bai Yang did not know and he would reply to them with a nod and a smile.

But he did not comprehend anything….

After taking a walk around the village, Bai Yang had a rough idea of life in the village now.

Basically, this was a hunter-gatherer village that had barely any agriculture and they had a very low production on producing things. Bai Yang couldn't see any sign of industry, the tools they used were at most made from clay and wood, and these tools might not even be produced by them!

But Bai Yang was sure that this world was not a primitive civilization, for the weapons in the hands of the hunters justified this theory.

What kind of a world is this? Overpowered individual strength but an incredibly primitive society… They are simple, but barbaric is a better word to describe them. I'd better not leave recklessly before I master the language of this world…..

After some observation, Bai Yang set a short-term target for himself, which was to learn the language as soon as possible!
