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

Chapter 139 The Great Defense Was Broken
While Bai Qingyu went to wash her clothes, Ling Chengen took the cloud-patterned towel he had cut out, wet it in the stream, and wiped the sweat off his body.

After the beast tide passed, the weather grew hotter and hotter.

Wearing clothes made of animal hides is no longer appropriate. Every morning when I wake up, before I've even done anything, I'm already covered in sticky sweat.

Ling Chengen wrung out the towel in his hand, sat on the rock, his face reddened by the setting sun, frowned and tugged at the clothes clinging to his chest, and sighed, "Looks like I'll have to find some time to make a few light clothes recently."

Bai Qingyu stepped into the stream and turned around to say, "There should still be some Yunyi at home. You can take it and make a few clothes. The salt production won't require much fabric."

Ling Chengen used a broad-leaf fan to fan himself and asked, "Aren't you hot?"

Bai Qingyu: "I'm used to it. I have clothes to wear in the summer."

"However, snakeskin is still the most suitable material to wear in summer."

Ling Chengen thought back and realized that there were indeed two snakeskin garments at the bottom of the trunk in the cave, but her body was in a rapid growth and development stage, so the old clothes from a year ago were no longer wearable.

Moreover, the original owner didn't seem to be someone who knew how to take care of clothes. Those two sets of snakeskin dresses had shrunk into a ball and lost their original elasticity. Even if she managed to squeeze into them, she was afraid that if she moved even slightly, the clothes would tear.

"Hey, if I had known this would happen, I should have gotten a batch of snakes from the Snake Mountain tribe back then."

At the time, she just found snakes disgusting, especially the snakes from Snake Mountain, which were all somewhat venomous, so she didn't want them.

Surprisingly, snakeskin can be used to make clothes.

Ling Chengen turned his head and thought of another person, looking at Bai Qingyu with suspicion: "By the way, I haven't seen Chang Tianchen for a while. That guy isn't the kind of person who would behave himself, is he? Is he still in Poison Valley?"

Bai Qingyu shook his head and said, "He's not here."

"Many of the inferior beasts that came up to Cold Mountain this time came from the Poison Valley. In the past, when they guarded the Poison Valley, no inferior beast could escape from under their noses. After the beast tide ended, the people in the village went to the Poison Valley to take a look, and there was no one there anymore."

"His bloodline reversion problem should have been resolved, but he encountered a problem during his last advancement. He'll probably go back to Snake Mountain to find a solution."

Ling Chengen asked in confusion, "If there's a problem with advancing, what methods can Snake Mountain possibly offer?"

Bai Qingyu then remembered that Ling Chengen had only awakened her superpower this year, and that her superpower was quite special, reaching level nine in one go. Although he couldn't understand how Ling Chengen had done it, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

However, she lacks knowledge about superpowers.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in just a few seconds. When Bai Qingyu looked up again, he explained to her in as much detail as possible: "Problems with bloodline reversion and problems with ability advancement are two completely different things."

“Superpowers are something every beastman can potentially awaken, but bloodline reversion is not guaranteed; the probability is much lower than awakening superpowers.”

"If superpowers are one in a hundred, then the probability of bloodline reversion is probably one in ten million."

"Moreover, atavism is related to race."

"It is also related to the purity of bloodline."

After wringing out the clean clothes, Bai Qingyu placed them in a bamboo basket and sat down next to Ling Chengen: "If there's a problem with the bloodline, it's extremely troublesome to resolve."

"Chang Tianchen is a good example. His atavism went wrong, and he couldn't maintain his rationality. He was always in a half-human, half-beast state, and when he lost control, he was extremely terrifying, manifesting as bloodlust and killing."

Ling Chengen nodded: "I know that, it's related to his mental domain."

Bai Qingyu gave her a deep look: "Before you, I had never heard of the concept of the mental domain, but because of your use of your superpower, I have vaguely grasped the existence of the mental domain and am slowly able to understand this special area that exists in the head."

“Normal bloodline atavism usually has some warning signs, such as excessive sleepiness, flashes of some ancient memory fragments, a sudden and significant increase in strength, a sudden increase in appetite, or the sudden mastery of a very special ability, but without the ability to control or use it, and only by luck... There are many characteristics.”

"When this happens, you need to take a fruit as soon as possible."

Ling Chengen blinked curiously, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at his serious profile: "Fruit? What fruit?"

"Earth lotus fruit".

“Never heard of it.”

Seeing her blank expression, Bai Qingyu couldn't help but reach out and rub her soft cheek: "The Earth Lotus Fruit is a fruit that can purify bloodlines and increase the probability of successful reversion to ancestral form. There are also some rarer fruits that have similar effects, but none are as effective as the Earth Lotus Fruit."

"Are these...earth lotus fruits hard to find?"

Bai Qingyu nodded: "It's very difficult to find."

"The Earth Lotus Fruit only grows in the Misty Swamp, the swamp we visited. It's located deeper within the Misty Swamp."

"Obtaining the ground lotus fruit is much more dangerous than hunting snake lizards."

"The reason why Chang Tianchen's ancestral return had problems is that he forcibly returned to his ancestral form under certain special circumstances and had never consumed the Earth Lotus Fruit. Therefore, his ancestral return was incomplete, and he lost many memories that should have been passed down."

"Take the Heartfire for example. When he used it, he probably didn't know what it was all about. He just used it instinctively."

Ling Chengen lowered his head and touched his side, his face still somewhat sour: "Even so, I will not forgive him."

Bai Qingyu took the broad leaf from her hand and gently fanned her with it: "You really shouldn't forgive him."

The python is inherently dangerous, greedy, and ruthless. Once it gets close, this family will never have peace again.

"After the bloodline backlash, if you can find the Nine-Ring Sacred Heart Grass or Crystal Flower to take, the backlash symptoms can be relieved quickly."

"But Chang Tianchen must have failed. The Nine-Ring Sacred Heart Grass and the Crystal Flower are both rare and precious herbs that attract various exotic beasts to guard them even before they mature. Once they mature, they will trigger a bloodbath between raiders. So every time these two kinds of precious herbs are ready to be harvested, it is bound to be a bloodbath."

"Nine-Ring Sacred Heart Grass generally grows in places of decaying corpses. It is a beautiful purple-gold plant that blooms with tiny, pale pink flowers the size of a fingernail at night. Mature Sacred Heart Grass has eighteen leaves, and each pair of leaves automatically curls up to form a ring, hence the name Nine-Ring Sacred Heart Grass."

"Sacred Heart Grass grows inside the chest cavity of dead animals or dead orcs, protected by animal or human bones. Before it matures, it is only pretty but does not emit any scent. However, when it is about to mature, its pollen will quickly spread to a radius of hundreds of miles, attracting all kinds of strange beasts."

"The crystal flower is a polar plant that generally grows only in rock crevices where temperatures are very low. It is very inconspicuous and short, about the height of a finger, and has no leaves. It usually grows in clumps. Before it matures, the crystal flower is white or pale yellow, but when it matures, it turns ice blue and looks very much like a flower carved from crystal, hence the name crystal flower."

Ling Chengen asked doubtfully, "Are these two plants useful for advancing superpowers?"

Bai Qingyu nodded and said, "It will definitely be useful, but it's not as effective as the one for dealing with bloodline backlash." "I have two crystal flowers saved up. If you experience bloodline reversion, remember to come to me for them."

Ling Chengen's eyes were bright as he asked curiously, "Did you pick them yourself?"

“That’s definitely not it.” Bai Qingyu smiled and placed a leaf on her head, looking at her long eyelashes. “When my bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, I was still young. My father and brother would never have let me go to the extreme cold to try my luck.”

“This was specially found for me by my father. Crystal flowers are easier to obtain than Sacred Heart Grass. My father went to the polar regions four or five times and finally found a clump. He timed his harvesting carefully each time and picked the entire clump.”

“My father had quite a few crystal flowers. When you and I became partners, he gave me two.”

"This was prepared especially for you."

"I'm not a child anymore. When I run out of crystal flowers, I can go find more myself."

Ling Chengen pinched his chin, looked him up and down for a while, then smiled and said, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"What's the purpose?"

Bai Qingyu's lower lip was slightly swollen, soft and glistening with a faint sheen, and a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

"You're just saying these nice things to coax me."

Bai Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Isn't it my duty to coax you?"

Ling Chengen loosened his fingers, propped his cheek up with one hand, and clicked his tongue twice: "Young Master Bai is getting more and more enchanting."

The demon in "a vile concubine who brought ruin to the country".

Bai Qingyu slightly raised her chin, her gaze shifting with a hint of provocation: "So, do you like it?"

Ling Chengen took a light breath and said with a smile, "I like it, I like it very much."

Who doesn't love a life of luxury, right?

Bai Qingyu showed no embarrassment at being teased, only lowering his head to slowly tie his loose sash, and said slowly, "This is the last point, let me finish telling you all at once. If you fail to advance your superpower, it's not a big problem. At most, you'll feel unwell for a while. Once your superpower is fully charged, you can continue to strive for advancement."

"However, if one successfully advances their superpower but encounters problems during the process, resulting in serious internal injuries, or if the advancement is incomplete, then the situation becomes more troublesome. Generally, this means that the heart meridian has suffered some damage, and the meridians that should have been expanded have atrophied or been damaged. In this case, there is no way to heal on their own."

"Even witch doctors can only treat a very limited extent."

"Therefore, we need some precious items that are specifically designed to treat damage to the heart and blood vessels."

"The most common one is Huixin bamboo rice, which is not hard to find, but you need a lot of it."

"There is also the hollow gourd, a type of gourd that grows on cliffs. The liquid inside the hollow gourd can be used to treat heart damage."

"There are several other types of plants that are quite rare. You might not see one for several years. I've never seen one myself; I've only heard about them from others."

"So I won't go into these. If you really need them in the future, it's better to ask someone who has seen them before."

Bai Qingyu was also afraid of misleading her, so it was best not to tell her too much detail about things she had never seen before.

Ling Chengen listened for a while, then said thoughtfully, "You mean that if Chang Tianchen returns to Snake Mountain, he will have access to more resources and should be able to recover quickly?"

“Not necessarily.” Bai Qingyu sighed. “Huixin Bamboo Rice and Hollow Gourd, don’t think that just because I said they’re not hard to find, that’s relative. Compared to Nine-Ring Sacred Heart Grass and Crystal Flower, they are definitely easier to find. But there are quite a few beastmen who have problems advancing and urgently need sacred items to treat their heart meridians. These things have always been in a state of being in demand but priceless.”

"He could spend countless years trying to find all the precious medicines needed to treat heart damage all by himself."

"Snake Mountain may not have much else, but it has plenty of snakes. The snake-people can communicate with some common snakes, which is called snake taming. These snakes can help them search for some rare items. When he returns to Snake Mountain, his first step is to reorganize Snake Mountain and take control of the entire mountain. His second step is to have the people of Snake Mountain help him search for medicinal herbs."

"If things go smoothly, it will take about six months; if they go slowly, we don't know how long it will take."

Ling Chengen plucked the leaves from his head and placed them on his head, then stood up and said, "Now that you've said that, I understand. I'll go see if I can get some more cloud-cloth leaves and make a few summer clothes for you to change into. The wheat harvest starts tomorrow, so you should prepare early."

Bai Qingyu followed behind her, carrying a bamboo basket. Watching her step on his elongated shadow, he responded in high spirits.

After the two went about their own business, Chongzhen and Yu Shaochen emerged from the woods opposite Qingshi Creek.

Chongzhen squatted by the stream, splashing water all over her face, and couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't go on like this. Every day, it's all sour and sour smell of love."

Yu Shaochen was also feeling dizzy from the heat. The cat was soaking in the cool stream water, comfortably sprawled out on the rocks like a pancake, its head submerged in the water, bubbling away. Once its head cooled down, it sat up from the water, somewhat annoyed, and said, "So what?"

"The wife definitely won't listen to us."

Chongzhen reached out and poked his wet fur. Water droplets slid down his forehead, eyelashes, and nose, wetting his bare, strong chest. "You're so stupid! Isn't the best example right there? Learn from that bird!"

Yu Shaochen tilted his head and said, "Why don't you go yourself?"

Chongzhen bit her index finger knuckle, her eyes darting around, looking sly: "I'm thinking about how to get close to him! I feel like there's never a suitable opportunity. Whenever that guy is home, we basically have no chance to get close to Ling Chengen."

and so……

"We still need to find a chance to get that scheming bird away!"

Looking at his wolfish expression, Yu Shaochen whispered, "I think you're more cunning."

Chongzhen shoved his shoulder in annoyance: "Whose side are you on? That bird is much more cunning than me, otherwise Ling Chengen wouldn't be so tightly controlled by him, able to kiss him and cling to him whenever he wants."

“Look at how smug he is today. He deliberately pulled his clothes open so that we could see the marks on his body.”

"Huh, what's there to be proud of!"

Yu Shaochen gave Chongzhen a deep look and said suspiciously, "I don't think he did it on purpose for us, but I always feel like you're breaking down!"

The defenses were breached!

The sour smell was almost overflowing from the entire forest.
