The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 115 Rejected
Ling Chengen raised his hand and slapped his hand away, speechless, "Don't you have any idea how dangerous you are?"

"Although I don't know how much trouble you've caused before, judging from the situation when I found you, your enemies are no pushovers. Getting involved with you is bound to bring me trouble. Although the promises you make are quite tempting, I really want to live a good life and don't want to drag my family, or even Shilin, into man-made disasters."

Ling Chengen picked up the clothes from the ground and yawned lazily: "Someone like you probably wouldn't believe in any promises, would you? Betrayal is the norm for you."

Yuheng looked at her profile and said, "You're quite smart."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not smart, I just know my own limitations."

Ling Chengen sighed softly: "Let's forget about Su Weihua. Pretend I didn't say anything."

Even without Yuheng's treatment, his body could still recover, only the progress would be slow.

Yuheng: "Don't you want to know about things related to the Heartfire Seal?"

Ling Chengen glanced at the lines on his side, his expression darkening slightly: "You can't fix this either, can you?"

Yu Heng nodded: "I am of the wood element. Wood and fire are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Chang Tianchen also has the bloodline of the Heavenly Python, so it is not easy for me to deal with the special mark formed by his ability."

"Since you helped me before, I can tell you another way."

"Find a water-type orc. As long as his ability level is higher than his, he can use the principle of water overcoming fire to remove the Heartfire from your body."

Ling Chengen paused slightly, turned around and said, "I have a partner with water-based superpowers, but I'm only at level nine right now."

“Then find someone of a higher level.” Yu Heng was indifferent and calm, as it was none of his business. “Your partners’ ability levels are all too low. None of them are a match for that snake.”

Ling Chengen didn't speak, but lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Chang Tianchen won't do anything to me in the short term, let's talk about this later."

Yuheng scoffed, "You seem to have a lot of faith in that madman."

"No, not at all," Ling Chengen said dismissively. "What could he possibly gain from my death?"

"And my partner isn't that bad, he's just at a disadvantage because of his age."

After all, Chang Tianchen and Yu Heng don't look like they're only teenagers.

But the oldest of her nominal husbands is only eighteen, and their future is limitless.

"Chang Tianchen suffered a backlash this time during his advancement, and coupled with his old injuries, it will be very difficult for him to make further progress in the future."

"There is absolutely no hope for at least the next three years."

Ling Chengen draped the dirty clothes over his arm and smiled faintly at him: "Three years is enough."

At most, we just need to urge Bai Qingyu to work harder in his cultivation and training, and with some additional treasures, reaching level thirteen won't be so far away.

Yuheng watched her departing figure until the rocky beach returned to its empty silence before he threw the stone he was holding into the stream.

Jiaojiao said gloatingly, "Haha, you got rejected."

“I told you, you’re too arrogant. How could anyone be blind enough to be your partner?”

Yuheng frowned and said, "What I'm looking for isn't a partner."

Jiaojiao was puzzled: "If someone is someone who never abandons you and never betrays you, then what is he or she?"

Yuheng took off his clothes and slowly walked into the stream.

After a long while, his answer came from the darkness: "Couldn't they be companions?"

Jiaojiao fell silent upon hearing this.

Its companion, which its young owner had before.

But in the end...

Yuheng's ear vines swayed a few times, and he suddenly whispered, "I suspect that the cub misunderstood you. It probably thought you were talking about a partnership or a servant relationship."

"Why don't you... ask again?"

Yuheng chuckled: "Don't I have any pride?"

"Is saving face more important, or your companions?" Jiaojiao asked pointedly.

Yuheng's body sank into the water, and he closed his eyes contentedly.

"All are important."

"Let's forget about it for now."

Yuheng submerged his head in the water and said slowly, "That cub is right. No one who gets involved with me ends up well."

"That wasn't in the Southern Beast Plains. Now that you're in the Northern Beast Plains, those guys are too far away to reach you."

"No, you weren't this timid before!"

"What, got scammed once, are you scared now?"

Yu Heng, his face full of black lines, said, "I'm not afraid, shut up."

Jiaojiao left his ear hole, drank her fill of water, and jumped onto his hair that was floating on the water's surface: "That little female is very good to her mate. Even though the wolf cub in the cave was so badly injured, she didn't abandon it. It shows that she is a loyal and affectionate female. When she really grows up, she will definitely be very popular."

"You could actually pursue her. If you can get together, you'll have both companions and partners in the future."

"I don't have to be a bachelor anymore."

Yuheng suddenly surfaced from the water and said in a low voice, "How am I an old bachelor? I'm only twenty-six."

"Yeah, a 26-year-old bachelor who hasn't had sex with a female yet. Other males your age already have kids running around on the ground."

Without any hesitation, Yuheng said, "She has a partner."

“I have no interest in sharing a female with another male.”

Jiaojiao, quick-witted and sharp-tongued, said, "She doesn't need you to support her, does she? She's the young clan leader, and she'll be the tribe leader in the future. She's clearly not one of those petite and weak females from the Southern Beast Plains. Wasn't she in the Netherworld today to solve the salt shortage problem? She just happened to find us and that's how she saved your life."

Yuheng was rendered speechless by Jiaojiao's retort: ​​"I'm ten years older than her."

Jiaojiao paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "Yes, you're ten years older than her."

"She's not even an adult yet, and you're already twenty-six."

"By the time you come of age, you'll be twenty-eight."

"Older men aren't very competitive."

"It's quite normal to be rejected."

Yuheng gritted his teeth upon hearing this, grabbed the tangled strands of hair, and threw it directly onto the shore.

“You’re quite the classy vine, peeping at old men taking a bath.”

Jiaojiao stood on the highest basalt stone, its two small leaves gesturing with their hands on its hips: "Hey, you can't argue with me, so you're getting angry!"

"I'm just a vine, what's wrong with me watching you take a bath?"

Yuheng ignored Jiaojiao and simply stayed in the water, slowly washing his dirty, messy long hair. He flipped his wrist and took out a few long, purplish-red bean pods, crushed them, and rubbed them directly on his hair. Soon, small bubbles formed, and as the bubbles carried away the dirt, it turned dark gray.

But the pods produced too little foam, and his hair was too long, so he had to repeatedly crush and wash them.

A moment later, Jiao Jiao landed on a large leaf and floated to his shoulder.

"I've found something great."

"It smells just like the pods in your hand."

Jiaojiao pushed the not-so-good-looking soap on the leaf in front of Yuheng: "This is the one that little female just used. It produces more lather than the bean pod."

Yuheng looked down at the leaves in front of him: "Do you know that what you're doing is stealing?"

Jiaojiao stood on a leaf and said confidently, "I gave something in exchange. I won't give away the fruit that others want."

Yuheng glanced at the flowering tree emitting a warm light, and seeing that there was still no response from the treehouse, he picked up the somewhat slippery yellow substance on the leaf.

He rubbed it in his palm, and it mixed with the water residue on his palm, quickly forming a lot of foam.

This stuff feels smooth and soft to the touch, and has a very faint pine scent. Whether used to wash hair or body, it has an extremely pleasing effect in removing dirt.

“If you like, you can buy some from her tomorrow to stock up, so you can use them when you go to other places in the future,” Jiaojiao said.

Yuheng placed the used soap on a leaf, soaked it in water, and scrubbed away the dirt from her hair and body with the foam. Finally, she got out of the water feeling refreshed and changed her clothes.

"Let's see tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, let's treat that wolf cub for her. We can use that to get this stuff."

After washing away all the grime, he felt much lighter and his mood improved considerably. He found a good spot near the rocky beach and threw in a tree seed. As he stepped back, the seed quickly took root and sprouted, growing into a 20-30 meter tall banyan tree.

At the same time, there were four purplish-red vines that meandered up the aerial roots of the orange-leaf banyan tree. As the young man under the tree raised his hand and shook it, the vines quickly built a sturdy treehouse in the very center.

As the treehouse took shape, the purplish-red vines gradually withered and faded, turning into moon gray.

Yuheng stood still, letting the branches lift him up and carry him to the front of the treehouse before nodding in satisfaction.

Although it's much simpler, it still looks quite pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, it appears to be very well concealed.

The person who came up with the idea of ​​building a treehouse is quite clever.

The serpent's body rapidly grew larger, its enormous form coiling around the doors and windows, driving away nearby mosquitoes. Its lush green leaves drooped slightly, obscuring the window and the view outside.

Yuheng lay down in the empty treehouse, his hands folded behind his head, staring quietly at the roof, unable to fall asleep.

I slept for too long in Xilu Youdi, and now I can't sleep after leaving.

Actually, the little female's guess was inaccurate; he had been imprisoned in that cave for far more than half a month.

He didn't remember the exact time very clearly, only that a very long time had passed.

Because the cave has cracks, and salt water seeps in from the cracks, he has always been able to maintain that appearance.

Otherwise, he will enter a complete hibernation state.

As for whether he will wake up, that really depends on luck.

Yu Heng took out a crystal-clear mineral from his spatial storage, which resembled an icicle, and gently rubbed it in his palm.

He didn't understand what this thing was or why it could cut off his control over his superpowers after being inserted into his heart meridian.

But the thought that those people had figured out how to deal with him made his face grow increasingly grim, and his heart sank completely.

Jiaojiao extended its vines and snatched the ore cone from his right hand: "Go to sleep."

"How old are you? Still playing with small toys before bed?"

Yuheng knew that Jiaojiao was saying that on purpose, so he turned over and lay on his side in the treehouse.

"Move the leaves that are blocking the window."

"There's light over there, it'll affect your sleep." Jiaojiao didn't move.

Yuheng chuckled and said, "What do you know! I can only sleep peacefully when there is light."

Jiaojiao moved the leaves that were blocking the window, and even thoughtfully opened a small window at the bottom of the treehouse wall.

It made it convenient for him to lie on his side and look at the glossy grass hanging on the tree canopy.

"If you like grass that glows, we can search for some seeds in a few days, and you can hang it where you sleep every day if you like."

Yuheng rested his head on his arm, looking at the only light in the darkness, and felt at peace.

The blue moon had already hidden behind the clouds, with only a few stars appearing and disappearing intermittently.

All I could hear were the chirping of insects, near and far, and the rustling sounds of nocturnal animals hunting further away.

Yet, amidst this utter silence, there were a few rhythmic heartbeats.

Unlike in the Netherworld, he couldn't sense anything there.

He didn't know when, but he had closed his eyes. He felt dizzy and dreaming, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

I regained consciousness when it was broad daylight.

Smoke was rising from the rocky beach. Yuheng lay in the treehouse, watching as the leaves that blocked the light were moved aside. The moment the sunlight pierced through the gaps, his vision blurred, and he even shed tears.

Yuheng raised his hand to cover his eyes, and it took him several minutes to fully wake up.

“You were sleeping so soundly.” Jiaojiao retracted the vine, turning it back into an earring, and hung it back in his ear piercing. “You didn’t even wake up when that little female came to the stream to wash and fetch water.”

"I never expected to sleep so soundly."

Yuheng stood up and looked eastward from the bedside. Above him was a steep stone wall, and below were the Ling family's flowering trees and caves.

The little female had already started a fire in the makeshift hut and was busily doing something.

A rustling leaf gently patted his cheek: "Do you want to go hunting? There's not much food left in the space."

"You can't expect those little females to share their food with you, can you?"

"This is not something a male orc with hands and feet should do!"

Yu Heng calmly replied, "I won't starve even if I don't hunt."

“But just eating fruit won’t help your powers recover quickly, will it?” Jiaojiao knew his body quite well.

"Let's go see what she's doing. I smell a very strange fragrance."

Actually, smelling this aroma made him feel hungry, something he hadn't felt in a long time.

……

Ling Chengen looked up at the man who appeared in front of the stove and waved to him: "Don't stand there, you're blocking the light."

Yuheng moved to the side as instructed, but was forced to take a half step back by the rising steam from the pot.

"What are you doing?"

"Cook."

There are fewer people at home today, so she only needs to take care of Su Weihua, Ling Xiaoxi, and herself.

Felicity was going to help take care of Su Weihua these past few days, so she took care of Felicity's two meals.

Wu Zhuo will most likely come over for a free meal.

In addition, Yuheng will be staying near her house for the next few days.

Considering that he had helped him last night, Ling Chengen was not stingy with the food.

If you calculate it that way, she has to cook for five or six people, which is very slow for her to do by herself.

So when she saw Yuheng coming over, she didn't stand on ceremony.

"I'll provide meals, you can help out. Is that alright?"

Yuheng glanced at the steaming hot wok and the neatly chopped plants and meat slices on the cutting board. Although he didn't quite understand how she was going to cook, he nodded.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Keep an eye on the fire for me, make sure it doesn't go out, but don't let it get too big."

Yuheng looked at her and saw her pointing to the stone in front of the stove: "Do you want me to sit there and watch the fire?"

"Yes, we need to add a few more pieces of firewood when we run out."

Ling Chengen stared at him suspiciously: "You haven't even started a fire before, have you?"

Yuheng sat on the stone in front of the stove and felt the temperature rise immediately; his face was burning from the heat of the fire.

"I rarely light a fire, except during the cold season."

"But I can still keep the fire burning."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen felt relieved and instructed him to watch the two stoves. One pot was cooking millet porridge, and the other was stir-frying vegetables.

After Ling Chengen finished chopping the remaining vegetables, he glanced at the brand-new clothes on his body, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Yuheng noticed her gaze and looked down at himself: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"What material are your clothes made of?"

Because filtration is a crucial step in salt production, she was still worried about finding something that could replace gauze.

She couldn't tell the material of Yuheng's clothes at a glance, so she had to ask directly.

Hopefully, it's not some particularly rare material.

I don't know if I can trade something with him.
