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

Chapter 180 Who's Stealing the Master's Technique?
Bai Qingyu stared at her intently, his brow bone casting a shadow on his eye sockets. His eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words, but in the end, they turned into a very soft sigh.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her head twice, replying calmly, "I heard you."

“But you’ve always had your own opinions on that kind of thing, and I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

Ling Chengen sat on the hammock with his legs dangling in the air, his eyes slightly lowered, and slowly swayed his calves.

Bai Qingyu placed his hands on her waist, lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead, then prepared to let go and leave.

Ling Chengen hooked her fingertips around the pendant on his neck, tilted her head back and kissed the corner of his lips.

"Although I know you said that on purpose."

She looked up at the face so close to hers, her eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence: "But I don't seem to be able to do anything about you. I still willingly fall into your little traps every time."

"Ayu, you always manage to keep things so perfect. Where did you learn all these dating tips from?"

Bai Qingyu suddenly smiled and lowered her head to cover her mouth as she muttered complaints.

"self-taught."

His breathing was shallow as he raised his hand to cup the back of her head, deepening the kiss little by little.

Ling Chengen hooked his pendant with the fingertips of his left hand, and placed his right hand on his chest, gently stroking the superior lines of his collarbone, until their breathing gradually became erratic, and the two finally separated.

"The hammock is big, why don't you squeeze in with me and take a nap?" Ling Chengen moved aside, patted his side, and invited him to come and lie down with him.

Bai Qingyu stood still, shook her head and said, "You go to sleep, I'm going out for a bit."

Ling Chengen looked at him in confusion, but Bai Qingyu did not explain. Instead, he reached out and pressed her onto the hammock, then gently brushed his hand across her shoulder. A thin film of water adhered to her body, instantly making her sweaty back feel incredibly cool.

"When you can manage four beasts, you should be able to get a good night's sleep."

"I'll wake you up for dinner in a bit."

After Ling Chengen lay down in the hammock, his consciousness quickly became hazy, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after Bai Qingyu walked out of the cave.

The cave was quiet. Shi Ruoan, who was sitting by the stone bed, slowly opened her eyes. Her ears were a little red. She awkwardly looked away from the hammock. She breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was also full of helplessness.

Although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep at all and could only rest with his eyes closed for the time being.

Shi Panxing's condition is not good, and the next three days will be crucial.

Yuheng had explained everything to him.

To heal Shi Panxing's lower limbs, he needs several very rare medicinal herbs. He hasn't decided yet whether to find them himself or ask someone else to do it.

I was just thinking about this when the young couple started flirting as if no one else was around, followed by an ambiguous and lingering passionate kiss.

As the High Priest of the North Sea, Shi Ruoan has always been aloof from romantic relationships due to his status. Moreover, he holds a high position in his clan and is known for his cold and austere demeanor. Ordinary couples would never dare to overstep their bounds in front of him.

However, Ling Chengen and Bai Qingyu were not sea creatures, and he was not currently in the North Sea, so faced with such an awkward situation, he could only pretend to be asleep.

However, pretending not to know under these circumstances is really quite difficult.

Shi Ruoan raised her hand to her brow, let out a long sigh, and looked back at Shi Panxing, who was still frowning in pain even though he was unconscious and asleep.

Shi Panxing's wrists were bound and restrained by thick vines, but his tail was not restrained much. However, Shi Ruoan did not dare to look at it.

Because the flesh of the lower half of Shi Panxing's fish tail had been almost completely removed, leaving only a very light pink membrane covering the clearly visible fish tail bone structure, and beneath the membrane were light blue blood vessels grafted by Yu Heng using his special ability...

These light blue blood vessels can only serve as a temporary substitute. He needs to find a special herb with strong regenerative abilities within a month to truly resolve Shi Panxing's amputation crisis.

Without the Purple Rainbow Root Grass, Shi Panxing's fish tail... still won't survive a month later.

Thinking about this, the awkwardness and discomfort I felt before completely disappeared.

Shi Ruo'an felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

He knew he should take the time to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep at all when he closed his eyes.

Returning to Beihai for help is one option, but the Mulan Plain is too far from Beihai.

This round trip can take up almost a month.

Moreover, the purple rainbow vine is not a marine plant.

Although the sea tribes also have many precious medicinal herbs, Yuheng is a land-dwelling beastman who does not understand the medicinal herbs in the sea, so it is difficult for him to fully understand their medicinal properties in a short period of time.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs in the sea... may not be able to cure Shi Panxing's injuries.

He knew Shi Panxing's injuries better than anyone. Even if he could ignore the time and distance and take him directly back to Beihai to find the best witch doctor, the witch doctor would most likely only give him the answer of waiting to die.

Even a treatment like amputation to save a life might be beyond the capabilities of the sea witch doctors.

He had witnessed Yuheng's prowess firsthand last night.

He genuinely admired this powerful land-based expert.

Therefore, he was certain that strictly following Yuheng's treatment plan was the best option for Shi Panxing.

He was to stay there for three days. Once Shi Panxing had passed the danger period, he would immediately set off to find exotic plants and herbs.

With a plan in mind, Shi Ruoan's heart gradually calmed down. She sat sideways on a stone beside the stone bed, propped her forehead with her right hand, and watched Shi Panxing for a while. After confirming that he was not struggling much, she fell into a light sleep.

……

As soon as Bai Qingyu stepped out of the cave, he saw Chang Tianchen. His expression was one of undisguised disgust, but he didn't intend to provoke him.

Having suffered two losses at Chang Tianchen's hands, he was well aware of the gap between the two.

However, upon seeing that annoying face, he was reminded of the Heartfire Pact Seal on Enen's body, and immediately turned around with a cold face and went to the stream to wash up.

During this time, he spent his free time honing his superpowers and vaguely touched the threshold of the tenth level, but he always felt that he was still a little short.

It's just missing a catalyst.

Only if his ability level surpasses Chang Tianchen's can he completely break the Heartfire Contract on Enen's body.

Bai Qingyu jumped into the water, using the cold water to wash away her fatigue, and began her daily superpower training.

Chang Tianchen remained unmoved by Bai Qingyu's hostility, sitting calmly by the fire from beginning to end, adding firewood and patiently turning the roe deer meat on the metal rack.

When Lin Jing and Lin Quan returned covered in blood, Chang Tianchen suddenly looked up, frowned, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Lin Quan and Lin Jing looked at him with confusion, then shook their heads in unison: "No."

"Go wash up before you come back." Chang Tianchen looked at the dried bloodstains on their bodies, then glanced back at the direction of the cave. "You guys smell too much blood and are filthy."

The snake-like beastmen's sense of smell wasn't particularly strong to begin with, and he couldn't even stand the smell of those two idiots, let alone Ling Chengen, whose sense of smell was much more acute.

Lin Jing was initially confused, but after Chang Tianchen glanced in the direction of the cave, he instantly understood why the two brothers had suddenly been disliked.

Before Lin Quan could figure it out, he had already grabbed Lin Quan's arm and walked away quickly.

Lin Quan asked unhappily, "What did he mean by that?"

“He’s always been like this, but I’ve never seen him so disgusted.” Lin Jing said speechlessly, “Don’t you even look where you are? Before yesterday, wasn’t the young clan leader of the Stone Forest not here? He’s here today, and with the smell on us, the clan leader is probably worried about bothering him, okay?”

Lin Quan walked towards the stream with a dark face, gritting his teeth and saying, "When will he ever get rid of this love-struck brain? Can't we find a witch doctor to concoct some medicine to cure him?"

Lin Jing chuckled and said, "Our clan leader's illness is absolutely incurable."

"Either you stay away, or you can only endure it, or turn a blind eye."

"Besides... if you find a partner in the future, they might do even more outrageous things than him."

“That’s absolutely impossible,” Lin Quan said decisively. “I’ll never grow a fingernail-sized love brain in my entire life! Seeing his pathetic behavior, I never want to find a partner again.”

Lin Jing just chuckled to himself, thinking that he had set this flag too early.

After all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
……

When Ling Chengen woke up, the light was faint and dusk was falling. There were faint firelight flickering outside the cave and very soft voices.

She flipped over and jumped off the hammock, glancing at the distance.

Yuheng was no longer in the hammock; only Shi Panxing was still lying on the stone bed, his face as pale as a male ghost, but his condition was clearly much better than last night.

Three bamboo beds were placed against the wall of the cave.

The grass that had been forced to grow in large numbers in the crevices of the mountain wall last night has completely withered.

Only two lights were left on the wall at intervals.

She walked outside the cave and found that there were many more people.

Bai Qingyu was the first to notice her. After putting down the food in his hand, he got up and walked towards her.

He immediately reached out and touched her back to make sure it was dry before laughing and saying, "I thought you woke up because you were hot. Were we talking too loudly?"

Ling Chengen shook his head and held out his hand to him: "Get me some water to wash my face."

Bai Qingyu made her a ball of water so she could wash up easily. He smoothed her messy long hair with his fingers, then took the braided rope from his wrist and wrapped it around her tied-up hair.

After washing his face, Ling Chengen felt much more awake. He shook the water droplets off his fingers, glanced at Su Weihua sitting on the rock, and asked in confusion, "Why did Su Weihua come here?"

"He came to help. The hunting team has already returned, and he was bored at home, so he came to check on them."

Bai Qingyu turned around and glanced at Su Weihua, who was clearly out of place, and whispered, "Su Weihua said that the hunting team's harvest this time wasn't very good."

“It’s hot, that’s normal.” Ling Chengen wasn’t surprised.

She actually felt that going out hunting in such extreme heat was a form of self-torture; although orcs had excellent physical strength, they were still susceptible to heatstroke. Currently, Stone Forest wasn't short of food, so they could wait until the dry season ended to fully recover their strength for the autumn hunt.

Bai Qingyu tidied the damp stray hairs on her forehead, then led her to sit some distance away from the fire, preparing food for her.

However, before he could finish preparing it, Ling Chengen already had a rabbit roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ling Chengen looked up and followed the hand in front of him, and what came into view was Su Weihua's silent half-face.

She reached out and took the metal skewer, thanking him softly.

Su Weihua seemed unaccustomed to it; she nodded and silently returned to her original seat.

Bai Qingyu washed the palm-sized dagger clean and placed a clean wooden plate in front of her: "Shall I cut it for you? It's too big to hold like this, and it's hard to eat."

Although Ling Chengen was very hungry, she was not in a hurry. She put the rabbit meat into the wooden plate, picked up the hard-shelled fruit that Yu Heng had placed on her lap, and took a couple of big sips of the wheat stalk.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

It's sweet and sour, and very refreshing.

And this time the juice was even served iced.

She stirred the straw twice and heard the sound of ice cubes colliding.

Yu Heng tilted his head and looked at her curious expression, then smiled and said, "Ice-type abilities are incredibly useful in this kind of hot weather, right?"

Ling Chengen looked up at the opposite side. Shi Ruoan was sitting on the fallen tree trunk, holding a hard-shelled fruit and drinking a beverage. Perhaps her five senses were too strong, because she immediately caught Ling Chengen's gaze and nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

Ling Chengen withdrew his gaze and nodded in agreement: "Ice-type magic is indeed useful during the dry season."

"I wonder if A-Yu will be able to do that once his abilities become more powerful?"

Bai Qingyu tilted her head and smiled, "It should be possible."

"This shouldn't be too difficult."

"It would probably be difficult to freeze water over a large area, but it would definitely be enough to meet your daily ice needs."

He has experimented with turning water into mist and condensing it into rain, both of which are a bit troublesome to do in practice, but they are indeed very useful.

Mist is excellent at confusing enemies, while Rain is particularly effective at suppressing large areas of fire element.

It's also possible to transform water-based abilities into frost and ice, but that's related to temperature...

He hasn't learned it yet, but he should be able to do it once his superpower reaches level thirteen.

Ling Chengen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm counting on you from now on. Good luck."

Yuheng tore off a piece of roe deer meat, popped it into his mouth, and then tore off a small piece and held it to Ling Chengen's lips: "Roe deer meat, have a taste?"

Ling Chengen reached out to take it, but Yu Heng brought the meat directly to her lips. She froze for a few seconds, then looked up at Yu Heng blankly, only to see him raise an eyebrow: "What? You can't eat what I'm feeding you?"

Ling Chengen opened his mouth and snatched the meat from his hand, chewed it numbly a few times, and finally swallowed it.

Don't know why.

Headache!

Especially after Bai Qingyu cut the rabbit meat, she followed suit, pinching a piece of meat from the rabbit leg and bringing it to her mouth, coaxing her in a very gentle tone.

"Open your mouth—"

Ling Chengen looked at him quietly: "..."

Bai Qingyu was also stubborn. Whether she was sulking or wanted to see how she would respond, she kept her hand raised.

Ling Chengen reached out and snatched the plate from his lap, then leaned over and took the meat from his hand, mumbling at the two of them, "That's enough, you two!"

“I’m not a cub. I have hands and feet and I can feed myself.”

She angrily grabbed the rabbit leg, took a big bite, and didn't want to watch the two scheming against each other anymore.

Su Weihua watched Yu Heng eat quietly from across the table. Her gaze lingered on the wooden plate on Yu Heng's lap for a few seconds. Although her face was expressionless, she suddenly understood.

It turns out that simply preparing food is far from enough.

You also need to prepare plates and cut the food into portions.

Will this make females like it more?
