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

Chapter 119 Bull Bull Trading
Ling Chengen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, and had no intention of digging deeper, since she would absolutely not allow Wu Zhuo to use a growth-promoting potion that could destroy one's foundation.

However, she quickly realized a crucial point: "Does the fact that the drug triggers superpowers mean that everyone actually has the potential to awaken superpowers?"

But why do those with potential awaken the same superpower?

Yuheng rubbed the pads of his right fingers, considered it for a moment, and then said to her, "There's actually nothing wrong with how you understand it."

"It's just that a large portion of the orcs have very deep hidden potential for their abilities, and if they aren't guided, they may never be able to unleash it in their entire lives."

"The catalyst commonly used in the forest valley is extracted from the bloodline of beastmen with superpowers."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen frowned deeply.

"Is it about collecting specific orc bloodlines?"

Yu Heng nodded, his eyes calm, his expression slightly off, and said sarcastically, "Pretty much, mainly it involves collecting blood from a specific orc to make medicine."

"This kind of blood collection is too cruel."

Ling Chengen found this approach hard to agree with: "And to supply all the beastmen of Aomori Valley... wouldn't that mean this person would be drained of all their flesh and blood?"

Yuheng looked up and quietly gazed at her tense profile, saying softly, "So, I killed that poor imprisoned soul."

His tone was so calm, eerily calm, that it sent a chill down Wu Zhuo's spine, and he almost lost his balance in mid-air.

Ling Chengen asked, puzzled, "So, you were hunted down by so many people because of this, and had no choice but to flee to the Northern Beast Plains?"

Yu Heng chuckled and said, "Not only that."

"I killed a lot of people."

He smiled nonchalantly.

Ling Chengen was somewhat surprised by his candor: "Aren't you afraid that we'll distance ourselves from you out of fear by telling us all this?"

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly: "I've never been close to you guys, so there's no question of us being distant, right?"

Ling Chengen's eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled and replied, "You're right."

"So do you know any safer ways to activate superpowers?" she asked.

Yuheng glanced at the golden-topped giant eagle that kept looking back: "I know."

"But, wouldn't I be at a huge loss if I just told you like this?"

Ling Chengen wasn't surprised by his sudden remark.

Yuheng and she were not related, so he had no obligation to teach her these things.

She saved him, and he repaid her in return.

The two actually owe each other nothing.

Once she obtains a way to activate superpowers, she certainly won't just use it on Wu Zhuo alone.

If used properly, she could even increase the number of people with superpowers in the tribe, thus giving them greater confidence.

This is valuable information; to exchange it, we need to offer benefits of equal value.

"what do you want?"

Ling Chengen's serious attitude made Yu Heng laugh.

"I haven't thought about it yet, how about you owe me a favor first?"

Ling Chengen hesitated for a moment: "Only within my capabilities."

“Of course, I would never give you my life,” she added.

Yu Heng chuckled lightly, "What a cowardly little female."

Ling Chengen didn't care about his teasing: "It's human nature to be afraid of death and cling to life."

"I'll tell you after we land," Yuheng said indifferently.

Looking at the Stone Forest tribe so close at hand, he thought it was a pretty good place.

The environment is nice, and the people are interesting too.

If I really want to settle down in the future, I might consider coming here to retire.

As soon as the three landed, Felicity rushed out of the woods. She had long limbs and a lithe figure, and was accompanied by two little wolf cubs that trailed behind her like long little tails.

"Young clan leader, you're finally back."

Feli calmed herself down, pointed in the direction of the tribe, and said very quickly, "People from the tribe outside have arrived, driving a lot of horned cattle. They say they ordered the goods you ordered at the trade market."

“They were all adult male warriors. Since you and the chieftain were not here, the guards did not dare to let them into the tribe. They led them to the grassland on the west side of the tribe to rest temporarily, and planned to make other arrangements when you returned.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen's eyes lit up with an astonishing brightness.

"Okay, I understand." She told Felicia not to worry too much and to go about her business.

After Felicity walked away, she turned back to Yuheng and asked, "Can we postpone the dwarf grass glue matter a little longer?"

"Why not? Go and do your thing."

Yuheng glanced at the dull-looking eagle cub, pointed at him and said, "Give him all the short grass, and I'll tell him how to do it."

"Alright." Ling Chengen tossed all the short grass in his spatial storage to Wu Zhuo's feet and earnestly instructed, "The glue produced by this short grass is crucial for the later salt production, so Wu Zhuo, you must learn it well and remember every step, understand?"

Wu Zhuo patted his chest and assured her, "No problem, Sister En, don't worry."

Ling Chengen glanced at the confident but impulsive eagle, then at the composed Yu Heng.

This combination... is alright, I guess.

Ling Chengen was thinking about the live cattle she had bought.

Livestock farming was something she had considered long ago.

Relying solely on hunting teams to go out hunting every day results in a very unstable harvest.

Moreover, it's easy to run into nearby tribes, which would greatly reduce the gains for both sides.

While venturing to distant, uninhabited areas might yield more prey, the round trip takes too long.

Even the strongest hunting teams would inevitably suffer losses if they camped outdoors at night and encountered hordes of wild beasts.

With cows, sheep, and pigs, how far away can chickens, ducks, and geese be?
If she hadn't seen any live sheep for sale at the market last time, she would have definitely bought a few to try raising.

The people of the Lei Niu tribe are quite good-natured. Even after being assigned to the grasslands on the outskirts of the tribe, they did not show any displeasure.

When Ling Chengen arrived, many people from the tribe had already arrived. They didn't get too close, but stood at a distance or on higher ground, curiously observing the horned cattle that were grazing with their heads down.

The horned bull is not a rare species; there are many wild horned bulls on the grasslands. Moreover, the bulls are not known for their good temper, being irritable and easily angered, and their attack power is not weak. However, because the meat of the horned bull is very tender, any hunting team with the ability is willing to try hunting it.

Although the Stone Forest Tribe is not a large tribe, the living conditions of the orcs within it are not very bad.

Everyone has eaten braised beef with horns.

Just as Ling Chengen was about to push through the crowd, someone next to him called out, and the people in front of him quickly made way.

"The young chieftain has arrived—" "Young chieftain, are they from the Thunder Bull tribe?"

Ling Chengen nodded and continued walking forward.

"Young chieftain, why are they driving so many horned cattle to our tribe?"

Ling Chengen walked to the front and nudged Ling Xiaoxi's buttocks, who was squatting in front and blocking his way.

The fluffy, round-eared tiger cub looked completely bewildered. Turning back to look at its older sister, it guiltily moved closer to Kong Mingming.

"You didn't even come home last night, huh? I'll deal with you later!"

Ling Chengen snorted and threatened the tiger cub who hadn't come home that night. He then walked past the plump tiger cub and headed towards Chief Lei Niu.

The Thunder Bull Clan Chief was taller than his clansmen, and his enormous golden-red horns were extremely eye-catching.

Even in human form, he didn't put away his horns; instead, he proudly displayed the large horns on his head.

After approaching Chief Lei Niu, Ling Chengen first looked at the horned bulls grazing on the grassland.

It was the quantity she had ordered beforehand, including bulls, cows, and calves.

The Lei Niu tribe was only willing to sell a small number of cows, so she didn't manage to order many.

Many of the beastmen in the Stone Forest tribe are large carnivorous animals, so she didn't dare to order too many at once.

If these cattle get sick from the change in environment and are so frightened by the orcs of their tribe that they refuse to eat or drink, it will be a losing proposition.

"Chief Lei, I didn't expect you to deliver these cattle so quickly. Was the journey smooth?"

Ling Chengen took the initiative to exchange a few pleasantries, and Chief Lei Niu finally smiled, his previous solemnity and worry gone.

"It went relatively smoothly. Please forgive us, Young Clan Chief Ling. We were delayed a bit."

“We were supposed to deliver this batch of horned cattle earlier, but a few days ago we had just driven the cattle out when it started raining, so we had to drive them back home. We only set off again after the rain stopped.”

Ling Chengen smiled and said, "It's alright. The weather on the grassland is unpredictable. Safety is the priority."

"We're not in such a rush."

"I won't waste any more words with Young Master Ling. I've delivered all the cattle you requested. Take a look at them."

"After confirmation, we'll hand over the goods. Once you've settled the other half of the blue crystal, our deal will be complete."

Ling Chengen nodded repeatedly, and Chief Lei warmly led her toward the horned cattle.

Before Ling Chengen even got close, the horned cattle that had been grazing leisurely suddenly raised their heads and looked warily in their direction.

Ling Chengen: "..."

She touched the tip of her nose a little guiltily and looked up to observe the expression on Chief Lei Niu's face.

Clearly, Chief Lei Niu had anticipated this situation.

"Young Chief Ling, don't worry, these cattle are domesticated and won't run away."

These cattle wore nose rings with ropes attached to them, and the Thunder Bull tribe warriors who escorted this herd of horned cattle were all strong and powerful, with bulging muscles on their bare arms, chests, and backs, clearly defined.

If these horned cattle try to run away, they can also pull them back.

Ling Chengen was somewhat curious about the beast forms of the Lei Niu tribe's orcs.

Chongzhen only gave her a brief introduction to the Thunder Bull Clan Chief. She only knew that his beast form was a Thunder Bull, but she didn't know much more.

She had absolutely no idea what Lei Niu's beast form looked like.

She should be even larger than these horned bulls, because she just saw one of the horned bulls, affected by her aura, try to knock away the orc next to it, but the orc's feet were as steady as a rock, and its body didn't even sway.

It's important to know that adult male horned cattle are quite similar to the wild yaks of the grasslands in my previous life.

It might even be slightly larger.

The fighting prowess of those wild yaks is beyond question.

And these orcs from the Thunder Bull tribe...

Its stability is truly astonishing.

Ling Chengen didn't even realize that he could remain unmoved after being gored by the horned bull without any warning.

The male orc who had been nudged simply tugged at the rope on his nose ring with his left hand, grabbed the whistle hanging around his neck with his right, and blew it a few times slowly. The horned bull under his command gradually calmed down, stood obediently beside him, lowered its head, blinked its big eyes slowly, and then began to nibble on the lush grass in front of it.

Chief Lei Niu walked over and gestured for Ling Chengen to follow: "Chief Ling, there's no need to worry. Since you want to raise horned cattle, we'll also tell you how to appease them."

"Moreover, domesticated horned bulls are actually quite docile. Only the bulls are more aggressive during the breeding season, but they are generally not aggressive at other times."

Ling Chengen nodded and walked over to the horned ox that had just been frightened but had been calmed down.

She looked at the enormous bull's head in front of her, and its long, dark hair, the hair on its front shoulders almost dragging on the ground.

She tentatively extended her right hand, and the big head suddenly froze, its round eyes lifted, its long eyelashes blinked gently, and the chewing motion in its mouth stopped.

Ling Chengen sensed that the ox's body was tense, as if it was weighing whether to calmly await death or struggle before it died.

As her finger landed on its large head, the bull's eyes widened suddenly, and the grass in its mouth fell to the ground.

Chief Lei Niu glanced down at the bull's trembling legs, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and couldn't help but turn his head away, covering his face with his hand.

For these calves, the aura of an apex predator was indeed terrifying.

Chief Lei Niu also had concerns: what if the Stone Forest tribe really couldn't support these horned cattle...?

Does that mean he won't be able to do business in Shilin anymore?

No, their after-sales service needs to be more thorough. Even if they can't be kept alive, these cows should at least last for ten days to half a month, right?

Ling Chengen suppressed his spiritual power and also tried his best to conceal his aura.

The horned bull, whose body had been trembling slightly, finally stopped shaking, but it still kept its head stiff and didn't dare to make any move.

Her hands were small; she simply placed them lightly over the cow's head, stroking it casually a couple of times before quickly withdrawing her hand.

"We would appreciate it if the warriors of the Thunder Bull Tribe could help us drive these bulls to our tribe and teach our orcs how to raise these horned bulls properly."

Ling Chengen turned around and pointed to a few people: "Lei Sang, take five or six people and learn from them. Set aside a safe and quiet place in the tribe and build a cowshed for these cows. The place for raising cows and the calf shelter should be separate, preferably far apart, so that the mischievous kids in the tribe don't run to tease the cows and get gored or trampled."

"Remember?"

"Yes, young clan leader, you can rest assured. Leave this to me."

Leisang, in his beast form, crouched on a tree branch. With a whoosh, he spread his wings and quickly gathered the guards who weren't on duty. He then led the warriors of the Lei Niu tribe toward the tribe.

Ling Chengen invited the Lei Niu tribe to her home, but she didn't have the habit of carrying blue crystals with her, and she had to go home to get the final payment.

Chief Lei Niu was also curious about the Stone Forest, as it was his first time here, so he gladly followed Ling Chengen.

The crowd finally dispersed. Ling Xiaoxi looked at Ling Chengen's back, then at the group that had left with the cattle, feeling conflicted.

How to do?
She wanted to join in on both exciting events.
