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

Chapter 347 Extra: Kicking Over the Dog Food
The message was sent to Shi Panxing at the beginning of the month, and by the time Shi Panxing led his men upstream and arrived at the moat of the Beast City, it was already mid-month.

As the sea warriors stepped ashore on the stone bricks, they attracted the attention of many orcs outside the city, who curiously observed the group of exceptionally handsome male warriors.

When the city gate guards spotted them, they immediately sent messengers to the inner city to report.

When Ling Chengen and Shi Ruoan arrived, Shi Panxing was leading his men out of the inspection room outside the city gate.

This inspection room is for checking the items brought into the city by orcs without household registration. It also makes it convenient for orcs who cannot transform their fur into clothes to change clothes, because running around naked is prohibited in the orc city, and medium and large orcs are also prohibited from moving around in the streets in their beast form.

The inspection of items entering the city initially provoked resentment and opposition from many unregistered foreign orcs, but behind every outrageous rule, there were always some outrageous things that happened.

After checking his belongings, Shi Panxing took out a not-too-thick coat from his spatial storage, put it on, and pushed open the exit door of the inspection room. As soon as he looked up, he saw Ling Chengen leaning against the city wall with his arms crossed in front of him, giving him a slight smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Ling Chengen straightened up and waved his hand at him: "It hasn't been that long, only about half a year."

"Didn't you come here once before? I just wasn't in Beast City."

Shi Panxing walked closer, looked Shi Ruoan up and down, and finally revealed a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It's still the same as before!"

Shi Ruoan smiled but remained silent, glancing at the sea warriors filing out behind him, and felt a long-lost sense of familiarity.

He hadn't seen any of his kind come ashore from the sea in far too long.

"Did you encounter any danger on the way here?" Shi Ruoan asked.

Shi Panxing's temperament was noticeably different from when they first met. He had become more reserved, but occasionally he would reveal a startling sharpness that made people dare not underestimate him.

He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "We came by water. You should have more confidence in your people. In rivers, lakes, and seas, we will never be at a disadvantage."

"However, on our way here we happened to pass by the Ye River and found that there seemed to have just been a battle there. When we passed by, the battle had already ended, but we encountered a lot of floating corpses in the river, most of which had ended up in the mouths of water beasts."

"Was it your troops who crossed the river to fight?"

Shi Ruoan only needed to think for a moment to understand where he was referring to.

A few days ago, Su Weihua did indeed send back good news. They seized the territory of the Gray Shadow Tribe within ten days. However, the Gray Shadow Beastmen were very resistant, so there was no possibility of negotiation. The war lasted until the end, and the Gray Shadow Tribe suffered more than 10,000 casualties. They hated their army to the bone.

However, they were unable to defend their territory in the later stages and could only send the elderly, women, and children to evacuate to the south first. Some of those who could not evacuate in time became prisoners of the Beast City army.

Ling Chengen had established rules from the beginning that no army under the Ten Thousand Beasts City was allowed to mistreat prisoners. Therefore, even if these prisoners were not very cooperative, the army only kept them under confinement and supervision, and did not torture or kill them.

Although Chang Tianchen felt he should kill the prisoners who wanted to take the warriors of Ten Thousand Beasts City down with them, he absolutely could not do so before they made their move.

Because once Ling Chengen gets the news, he will definitely write a letter to scold him, and may even beat him up when he gets back.

Ling Chengen nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed our team. We plan to venture south. If we can conquer more territory, my plan can be completed sooner."

Shi Panxing was not surprised at all. Ling Chengen was quite ambitious, and it was clear from every step she had taken that she had planned this all along and was very confident.

"Let's go into town to talk; there's getting more and more people watching here."

Ling Chengen led them into the city. Shi Panxing looked back at the square inspection room and asked in confusion, "When did you set up the inspection room? Their inspections are too strict. They make us take off our outer clothes and even check our spatial containers."

Ling Chengen explained, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

“Those tribes in the south are never giving up their evil intentions. They have sent wave after wave of spies into the city, some of whom are specially arranged assassination experts. We have almost been caught several times before. In order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, we can only strictly check the items they carry.”

Shi Ruoan sighed and said, "Previously, some foreign orcs brought seemingly ordinary plants into the city. However, the stems of those plants were filled with the eggs of some kind of poisonous insects. After the plants entered the city, someone took the opportunity to place them in the flower bed at the entrance of the government affairs hall. As the temperature rose, the insect eggs inside the plants hatched, and these highly concealed poisonous insects spread to the surrounding areas. The government affairs hall was the first to be affected."

"When Yu Shaochen returned from the agricultural area, he went to the government office to discuss the optimization of fire crystal cotton seeds. He was very unlucky and encountered a poisonous insect that had entered the government office. After being bitten, he developed a recurring high fever. At its worst, he fell into a coma and vomited a lot of blood."

"Because these poisonous insects are very small, the wound was not noticed at first, and Yu Shaochen suffered a lot as a result. After the cause of the illness was found, a special team was hired to thoroughly search the entire Beast City several times before the poisonous insects were completely eradicated."

"Although the poisonous insects have completely disappeared from the city, the damage they caused cannot be ignored."

"The number of people who have died in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts due to these poisonous insects has reached three digits."

"Yu Heng went to great lengths to keep Yu Shaochen alive, but ordinary beastmen don't have the resources and conditions to do that. Many of them die because the cause of their illness can't be found, and the doctors at the hospital are helpless, and can only watch those beastmen weaken and die little by little."

"The work of eliminating these poisonous insects was also very time-consuming and labor-intensive because the insects were so small. We did it more than ten times in total, which lasted for more than three months."

It was through this incident that Ling Chengen came to understand the importance of customs security checks.

Beast City doesn't have a customs office yet, but security checks at the entrance must be implemented, otherwise we'll have to deal with this a few more times...

Her City of Ten Thousand Beasts has only been on the right track for a few years, and its reputation is already ruined.

At the same time, the trust of the beastmen in the city in the rulers will decrease sharply, and population loss will be inevitable.

Upon hearing this, the sea warriors behind him exclaimed in shock, "Your fighting methods on land are truly diverse and impossible to defend against."

This was the first time Shi Panxing had realized that wars between tribes on land were far more complex than simple close combat.

He sighed softly, "If you clever people could actually go into the sea, our sea race would probably have been wiped out long ago."

Compared to the complicated situation on Ling Chengen's side, the struggle between Haibola and the eldest prince in the far north sea seems like children playing house, it's too low-level.

Upon entering the reception area of ​​the government affairs hall, the staff immediately handed over the door number and key to the sea tribe warrior.

Ling Chengen said, "A new reception area has been set up, mainly to receive people like you who represent foreign tribes or forces, as well as some public officials from other places. They stay for free and have three meals a day included."

"The meal allowance is not high, so it's just regular three meals a day. If you don't like that, you can go to the food center two blocks away. It mainly serves lunch and dinner, as well as various snacks and late-night meals. The food is quite good."

"Breakfast is readily available everywhere by the roadside. You know the language of our Beast City, so I don't need to explain further, right?"

Shi Panxing nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for the arrangement."

Shi Ruoan turned to Ling Chengen and asked, "Can I bring Pan Xing home to live?"

Ling Chengen spread his hands and said, "That's your home too. You can bring it if you want. You don't need to ask me."

Shi Panxing initially wanted to refuse, but he sensed the emotions hidden beneath his calm exterior and ultimately kept quiet, saying to Ling Chengen, "Then thank you."

Ling Chengen felt that it was necessary to give these sea creatures some time to adjust. In the past, Shi Panxing would only bring one or two warriors with him when he came to Ten Thousand Beasts City. This was the first time he had brought dozens of people with him.

Although these sea creatures were very disciplined, their curiosity was undeniable once they entered the city. Therefore, we can postpone discussing serious matters.

Ling Chengen gave some instructions to the staff at the guesthouse, and seeing that Shi Ruoan and Shi Panxing seemed to have something to say, he left first.

Looking at Shi Ruoan's bulky body, Shi Panxing pulled out a chair in the small living room and sat down beside her.

"You really are a man of few words who accomplish great things. I didn't notice when I came last time, and you didn't even tell me."

Shi Ruoan leaned back in her chair, a faint smile on her face: "I haven't decided how to say it yet."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Ruoan shook her head and said, "It's always been fine."

“Since you’ve decided to do this, I won’t be so tactless as to stop you. But if you have any needs that Ling Chengen can’t meet, you can tell me.”

He and Shi Ruoan had known each other for a long time, and he was well aware of Shi Ruoan's picky personality.

Living inland would be against his nature, and he would definitely experience a lot of difficulties adapting.

Shi Panxing pulled a pendant from his waist, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Shi Ruoan: "This is something I brought for you. From now on, I will arrange for two people to come over every month and bring you some things from the sea."

Shi Ruoan shook her head and said, "No need, I..."

Shi Panxing said solemnly, "Don't refuse."

“Although we are brothers, I don’t really feel that our relationship is close enough that you would go to any lengths to rescue me.”

“But since you did it, I can no longer enjoy your contributions with a clear conscience. You have always been very strong and have a rather aloof personality. You have never shown that you need help before, so even if I wanted to repay you, I wouldn’t have much of a chance.”

Shi Ruoan interrupted him, suddenly saying, "You have already helped me a lot."

"Regarding Enen's breeding period, I wouldn't have made that choice without your encouragement. I don't mean to blame you, but you pushed me to do what I'd always dreamed of but never dared to do, giving me an excuse to get close to her..."

Shi Panxing was not surprised by this, and calmly replied, "It's good that you don't blame me."

Shi Ruo'an is just too principled. It's normal for her to hesitate when it comes to things that cross the line.

But he's different; he doesn't need principles.

They never set limits for themselves.

Therefore, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

Shi Ruoan said, "The water beast thing was my suggestion. If you don't want to take this mission..."

“I will accept.” Shi Panxing said calmly, without hiding his predicament. “This proposal is a timely help for me. We need weapons from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Hunting aquatic beasts in the rivers is easy for us, but forging weapons is not something that our sea tribe is good at.”

There are no mines in the sea. Even if metal ore could be mined from the seabed, they dare not act rashly for various reasons.

Because mining alters the terrain, and once the seabed topography changes, many unpredictable consequences can arise.

In addition, the number of sea creatures with the metal and fire elements is currently very small, and they lack top-notch metal forging talents like Su Weihua. Therefore, the fastest way for them to obtain sharper and more durable weapons is to purchase them on a large scale from the land.

If they want to trade weapons, they need to offer something that will tempt the City of Beasts.

However, Shi Panxing started from scratch overseas, and what he lacked most was resources.

Shi Ruoan's suggestion to hunt aquatic beasts to trade for supplies really struck a chord with them.

……

Shi Panxing was an efficient leader, so on the second day he met with Ling Chengen to discuss hunting the water beasts. That afternoon, he led his team to the Xuemu River area via the moat.

In addition to the sea tribe warriors, Ling Chengen sent another team to accompany them, mainly responsible for processing the carcasses of the water beasts on the shore, cutting them into easily stored pieces of meat, and freezing them directly with his special ability for long-term preservation.

Shi Ruoan wanted to go with them, but Ling Chengen was initially against it.

Shi Panxing glanced at the two of them and said, "Let him come with us. I will ensure his safety."

Ling Chengen said with a complicated expression, "Is it possible that what I'm actually worried about isn't his safety?"

Shi Ruoan is a level 17 warrior. Even though his body has become a bit cumbersome now, his combat ability is still there. Ling Chengen believes that he can definitely protect himself.

Moreover, orcs are inherently tough and resilient. Many female orcs continue to gather resources during the later stages of pregnancy, easily traversing mountains and rivers. Some, like ibex, dare to leap across cliffs and precipices, and can even carry their young for dozens of kilometers.

Ling Chengen was terrified, but the females didn't seem to care.

Over time, she gradually realized that she could not use her old ideas to judge the orcs of today.

She explained with a rather complicated expression, "He will definitely help you if he goes with you. I'm afraid he will overuse his abilities... After his powers are depleted, he will feel dizzy and vomit, and he won't be able to eat for several days."

Shi Ruoan was exasperated by Ling Chengen's cautiousness and said, "I'm not as fragile as you think. I'll know my limits."

Ling Chengen stared at his face and said, word by word, "You offered to help with the processing of supplies during the dry season, and that's what you told me. And what happened?"

Shi Ruoan: "..."

Shi Panxing was truly fed up with this dog food in front of him. He just wanted to kick over this bowl of choking dog food. He stared at the two of them with a subtle expression: "Among the warriors I brought, there are ice-type warriors. Your team must also have ice-type warriors. With so many people helping, we hunt during the day and return to the city at night. His superpowers won't be depleted."

"If anything happens to him, I'll give my life for you, okay?" Shi Panxing said with a hostile look in his eyes.

Ling Chengen sensed the displeasure in his tone, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Are you sure you'll be back in the city tonight?"

Shi Panxing was speechless: "You're fighting in Xuemujiang, I'm not stupid, why would I stay there with so many people to be cannon fodder?"

Ling Chengen took a leaf from the bag at his waist: "This leaf can be used to contact Yu Heng. If you are seriously injured and in urgent need of saving your life, contact him. He will get there through the vine on Shi Ruoan's body."

After getting rid of Ling Chengen, Shi Panxing complained to Shi Ruoan, "She really treats you like the apple of her eye. She was never this nagging before..."

Shi Ruoan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "She is indeed cautious."

But if Ling Chengen actually heard Shi Panxing's complaints, he would probably be so angry that he would want to fight him.
