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

Chapter 130 Beast Tide Warning
While Bai Qingyu was taking a shower, Ling Chengen had already gotten up and left.

As she walked back from the stream, she saw Chongzhen standing under the banyan tree and paused slightly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chongzhen's gaze fell on her left shoulder, and he clicked his tongue lightly: "Is that guy a dog?"

Ling Chengen glanced down at the teeth marks on his shoulder, somewhat speechless. He put his right hand on his shoulder, looked up at him, and said, "What, do you want to fight him?"

Chongzhen's lips twitched as she watched Ling Chengen walk to the tree. She moved aside, somewhat annoyed. Just as Ling Chengen was about to climb the tree trunk, Chongzhen suddenly reached out and pulled her down, pressing her against the trunk. She gritted her teeth and said, "You wouldn't actually be blinded by lust and thinking of dumping us for that black-hearted birdman, would you?"

Ling Chengen pressed down on his shoulder, raised an eyebrow and said, "It's okay to talk, but remember to keep your distance."

Chongzhen raised his hand and pressed his fingertips against the teeth marks on her shoulder, squinting his eyes as he said, "He can kiss and bite, and I have to keep an arm's length away from you when I talk to him."

"My lady...aren't you being a little too biased?"

Ling Chengen slapped his hand away and said leisurely, "Just say what you want to say, don't be sarcastic, I don't understand."

Chongzhen felt a little annoyed. She moved the fingers off her shoulder and turned to look at Yu Shaochen, who was silently hiding behind another tree trunk.

Beneath the deep shadows of the trees, one could vaguely make out a round, fluffy tail, a chubby triangular ear, and a quiet, round eye.

"Stop hiding and eavesdropping. Instead of wasting your time, build that bird a treehouse so it won't stay in the master's room all the time, understand?"

Yu Shaochen silently hid behind the tree and whispered in his defense, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I've been here the whole time."

Mingming Chongzhen knew he was here all along, and she didn't hide anything from him when she was seducing the wife.

However, Yu Shaochen still poked his head out and nodded, saying, "However, I will build the treehouse as soon as possible."

Ling Chengen watched the two of them working together and chuckled, "Alright, thanks for your hard work."

Yu Shaochen immediately hid back down, hugged the tree trunk and slowly climbed up, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and slowly climbed back to his little nest, away from the scene of the big fight over love.

Ling Chengen crossed his arms in front of him and looked at Chongzhen, who hadn't left yet: "Besides Bai Qingyu's accommodation, is there anything else you need to say?"

Chongzhen swept her long hair behind her shoulder, leaned on the tree trunk behind her with one hand, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "I regret it now."

Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow: "Regret what?"

"I regret back then, saying I would never have any feelings for you." Chongzhen was a frank and bold person. He didn't feel embarrassed at all when talking about his dark history. He winked at her charmingly, leaned closer to her, and his expression suddenly became serious. "The wish of Yaoluo to join me will soon be fulfilled, but I don't plan to leave you."

"Since we are both your beast husbands, and Bai Qingyu can be close to you, I also have the right to get close to you, right?"

Ling Chengen said speechlessly, "If you're really bored and looking for excitement, you can do something else."

She didn't think Chongzhen liked her; at least, she didn't feel it.

Chongzhen suddenly laughed and said, "I don't care, I want it."

Chongzhen leaned closer to her face, looking into her pure black eyes, like a silent, deep pool, and his heart pounded.

Being gazed at by her like that definitely felt different.

I can't quite put my finger on what's causing this feeling of unease.

But he didn't want to let Bai Qingyu so brazenly monopolize Ling Chengen, and not even take them seriously.

"What, do you think I'm not as good-looking as him?"

Chongzhen's eyes were smooth and bright, especially when he stared intently at someone. They were like a small hook, and once he locked onto a target, the hook would strike and hold the person firmly.

Ling Chengen didn't answer, and Chongzhen wasn't in a hurry either, just staring at her.

"Are you really going to keep bothering me?" Ling Chengen said, a little annoyed, seeing that he wouldn't give up.

Chongzhen looked aggrieved and said, "How is this considered pestering you? Can't I even say a few words to you?"

Without hesitation, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest, saying with a hint of smugness, "If you agree, I'm way better than him, and I'm even more fit than him..."

Ling Chengen was speechless: "..."

"What haven't I seen before?" she couldn't help but retort.

Chongzhen paused for a few seconds, then remembered something, but without the slightest embarrassment, he spoke as generously as a male bodhisattva: "That's different. I was injured back then, and I looked like a ghost, and my figure hadn't recovered."

"It's being cared for exceptionally well now, and you can see it anytime you want."

"Not interested, let me go." Ling Chengen said blankly.

She decisively withdrew her hand, leaned back against the tree trunk, and sighed softly: "I want to live a peaceful life for another two years. I'll talk about these things when I'm an adult."

Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said incredulously, "Not interested?"

"You're looking at a handsome fox like me and you're not interested?"

Ling Chengen yawned and said lazily, "Can you let me go? I'm still a minor. I need to sleep well every day to grow taller."

Looking at her calm expression, Chongzhen suddenly questioned the meaning of life.

Ling Chengen slipped out from under his arm, grabbed the vines, and jumped onto the horizontal branch above, looking down at Chongzhen who was still in a daze.

"Although you're not bad looking, I remember you're not even an adult yet, what are you thinking about all day long?"

"Isn't it better to live a simple and honest life?"

Chongzhen looked up at her, no longer acting crazy, and put her hands on her hips, saying, "Isn't that because you're too biased! If you were fair to everyone, I wouldn't have tested you like this."

Ling Chengen sat on a tree branch, propping his chin up with one hand, and said with a smile, "People's hearts are inherently biased."

"If you don't believe me, touch your chest and see where your heart is located."

Chongzhen: "..."

Goodnight, I'm going to bed.

Ling Chengen waved to him, then looked up toward the forging platform. Su Weihua, who had just been standing there, was nowhere to be seen.

She sighed softly, reached up and grabbed the branches above her head, and leaped up into the treehouse with a handstand.

Chongzhen stepped out from under the tree's shadow, turned around and walked towards his treehouse, where he immediately saw Su Weihua emerging from the cave.

He deliberately turned his head away, and couldn't help but let out a soft hum: "Silent type!"

Su Weihua walked past him, holding a clean animal skin skirt in her hand, ignoring his mockery.

Chongzhen looked back at the receding figure and couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.

……

When Su Weihua reached the stream, she found Bai Qingyu still soaking in the water.

He stood on the bank for a while before realizing that he wasn't taking a bath, but rather practicing his supernatural abilities in the stream.

The water level in this stream has risen significantly, and even the water vapor above the water surface is gradually increasing, condensing into a mist.

No wonder he didn't notice Chongzhen's movements.

Su Weihua turned and walked a little upstream, not wanting to disturb his training, but as soon as she took a step, Bai Qingyu, whose body was half submerged in the water, opened his eyes: "You can wash here, it won't bother you."

Su Weihua turned her head to look at his profile, hesitated for a few seconds, then took off her clothes and walked into the stream.

"Are you so eager to raise your ability level because of the contract she's bound to?"

Bai Qingyu submerged his chest in the water, letting his long purple hair float on the surface, and gazed intently at Su Weihua, who rarely spoke to him: "Hmm."

"Then why not use a water-elemental heart stone?"

Bai Qingyu knew the function of the Heart Stone, and frowned slightly, saying, "I am now level nine, and the Heart Stone is too low-level for me to use." High-level inferior beasts and exotic beasts are not easy to encounter; most of them have their own territories and don't wander off randomly.

Su Weihua said in a deep voice, "Have the hunting teams from Hanshan and Shilin encountered any large herds of wild beasts recently?"

Bai Qingyu shook his head: "I'm not too sure about that, but if we run into it, Father Enen will probably tell us."

“Something’s not quite right.” Su Weihua lowered her eyes and pondered. “According to the pattern of previous years, the probability of inferior beasts appearing during the cold season is not high, but every year after the spring, there will definitely be two or three small-scale inferior beast tides. Before I was injured, I only encountered one small inferior beast tide, which was quickly defeated.”

“It’s already May, which is basically the beginning of summer…” Su Weihua looked up at Bai Qingyu, “Have any of the warriors from Hanshan gone hunting in the north?”

His words made Bai Qingyu vaguely realize the problem.

The inferior beasts have not been extinct for thousands of years, and the beastmen on the Northern Beast Plains have gradually figured out the pattern of their concentrated appearance.

Except during the cold season, small animal tides occur approximately once a month on average.

When it happens frequently, it can happen three times a month.

Large-scale beast tides are not very common; they may not occur even once every few years.

However, if a large-scale beast tide occurs, countless people will die or be injured.

Large animal tides usually occur in the autumn.

But there are occasional exceptions.

Bai Qingyu and Su Weihua looked up almost simultaneously, exchanging glances with extremely unpleasant expressions.

"A massive beast tide."

Bai Qingyu suddenly stood up from the stream, and Su Weihua also walked directly out of the water, quickly heading towards the shore: "There was a large beast tide last year, will it come again this year?"

Bai Qingyu used her supernatural ability to wipe away the water droplets on her body, put on clean clothes from the shore, and walked towards the treehouse ahead of Su Weihua.

Su Weihua quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"Tell Enen, at least we should be prepared." Bai Qingyu stopped in her tracks, not understanding why he was stopping her.

Su Weihua shook her head and said, "It's still just a question. She just got back, let her rest for the night."

"Let's go check out the situation to the north first."

Bai Qingyu gave him a deep look, then said nothing, transforming into a blue crane and flying towards Hanshan.

Traveling alone is definitely not an option; if something were to happen to you on the way, there would be no one to report it.

Chongzhen, who was preparing to take a bath, looked at the Moon Feather Azure Crane flying high into the sky and asked in confusion, "Where is he going so late?"

Su Weihua said in a deep voice, "This year, there has only been one small beast tide since the beginning of spring."

Chongzhen's expression froze, his face paled instantly, and he asked with extreme seriousness, "Will there be a large beast tide?"

Su Weihua shook her head and said, "It's not certain yet, so he sent someone to the north to check the situation."

"Really? It just came once before the winter season last year, how long has it been?" Chongzhen's voice was a little unsteady, and he suddenly clenched the clothes in his hands. "During last year's beast tide, Yaoluo died more than three hundred people."

Last spring, Yaoluo still had over a thousand people, but after the beast tide... only a little over seven hundred remained.

Su Weihua sat on the rock, wrung out her dripping hair, and a look of pain filled her eyes: "More than 700 people died in the Snow Wolf last year."

"How could this be? Your tribe's population is about the same as Shilin's, so how could you have more dead than our Yaoluo people?" Chongzhen asked, extremely puzzled.

Su Weihua clenched her fist and said, "There was an early warning last year, but my father..."

The Snow Wolf tribe suffered heavy losses during last year's beast tide.

Because of the sudden arrival of a large beast tide, the tribe had to arrange for all its personnel to take shelter in advance, which meant that the time for storing food for the cold season had to be shortened.

Shortening the time for storing food means that food will be less available during the cold season, and there certainly won't be enough to go around then.

Therefore, Su Kang suppressed the news of the beast tide, allowing the other orcs in the tribe to continue hunting, while the other orcs also gathered various plant fruits outside.

However, the beast tide moved very quickly; three beast hours after the announcement, the beast tide arrived in the snow wolf's territory.

Some orcs who didn't receive the news in time were thus devoured by the beasts.

It was at that time that he discovered Su Kang's intentions: he wanted to use the beast tide to eliminate a group of worthless tribesmen.

Those who are injured or disabled, the elderly, or lack the strength to protect themselves...

This will ensure that the food stored in the fall is enough for the remaining orcs to survive the cold season.

Chongzhen knew Su Kang's character well, and could only sigh, "The Snow Wolf orcs are really unlucky to have Su Kang as their chieftain."

"Do you know how Shilin resisted the beast tide last year?" Su Weihua asked.

Chongzhen shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard that the beast tide in Shilin last year did not cause much damage. I estimate that more than a hundred people died."

This should be the tribe with the fewest casualties among the surrounding tribes.

But this year is uncertain. If a large animal tide arrives soon, the shelters in Shilin from last year may not be enough.

Because Yaoluo is about to move here.

The Beast Tide Sanctuary needs to be renovated every year because some of the higher-level inferior beasts have special abilities.

Once a shelter is discovered, their supernatural attacks all fall on the shelter, and that place simply cannot withstand them for long.

This means that someone must clear out those high-level alien beasts and inferior beasts, so there will inevitably be casualties.

"I hope we're not that unlucky," Chongzhen said worriedly, glancing at the treehouse in the distance. "If there's a beast tide soon, the wheat harvest will be difficult."

We finally found a large quantity of food that could be stored for a long time.

Once the beast tide passes, the rainy season will likely arrive soon...

Mature barley is prone to sprouting and mold if it gets rained on for a few days, making it impossible to store or eat.

"You should focus on improving your abilities recently; Level 6 is still not very safe."

Of the various superpowers, earth-based abilities have the highest defensive capabilities.

Ling Xiao, Bai Qingyu, and even Ling Chengen's superpowers all had very low defensive capabilities.

Chongzhen also lost his previous chaotic thoughts. After soaking in the water for a few minutes and washing himself briefly, he picked up a bag of earth-elemental heart stones and went back to his treehouse to cultivate.

……

As night deepened, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out from the northwest of the Stone Forest.

Ling Chengen suddenly woke up from his sleep and immediately wanted to call Bai Qingyu next door, but found the room was empty.

She casually tied her hair up, picked up the bone blade and bow and arrows from the cabinet, and jumped out of the window.

As soon as they landed, Ling Xiao and Su Weihua emerged from the cave and, without a word, transformed into their beast forms and ran off in the northwest direction.

When Chongzhen jumped down from the tree, Ling Chengen had already lifted Yu Shaochen down and stuffed the drowsy Ling Xiaoxi into Chongzhen's arms.

"A horde of monstrous beasts have broken in."

"Take them to the shelter area. Don't let them wander off. Protect them," Ling Chengen instructed before disappearing into the distance.

Chongzhen didn't have time to explain to the two confused children. Holding one in each hand, he quickly ran towards the containment area.
