Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 76 New Home
Home is gone.

After the earthquake, the area was devastated, and the snow was still falling, making it seem even more desolate.

Wen Li stood with several beastmen, all of them with worried expressions.

The entire mountain collapsed completely, and countless huge cracks appeared in the ground. Wen Li's former cave was pressed down by rocks, leaving no gaps exposed.

Xin Yuan's expression was contorted in a grimace.

"food……"

The moment he spoke, everyone else's expression changed.

Yes, food!
The food is still in Wenli's cave, now buried under rubble. Without it, they won't survive the winter.

Among them, Shen Yihe was the calmest. He first looked at the sky and said, "Leave two people to find a place to stay for tonight, and the rest of you go move stones and see if you can find any food."

The group nodded and quickly began to divide the tasks.

Wen Li was just recovering from the earthquake.

This was the first time she had experienced such a terrifying earthquake; she felt the world shaking. If she had been even a fraction slower, she would have been trapped under the endless boulders.

Death passed by her and gently touched her face.

Seeing Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci walking towards the ruins, Wen Li's heart tightened. "Where are you going?"

Shen Yihe's words went in one ear and out the other.

She didn't hear what they were saying at all.

The three paused, and Zhu Yan answered first: "The food for winter is still inside; we need to find a way to get some out."

"Don't go." Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them looked at her in confusion.

Wen Li explained, "The food is all on me, don't worry."

This is the benefit of space.

Fortunately, she had put all the supplies into the space before her.

The earthquake came suddenly, and Wen Li didn't know that earthquakes could happen in this world. At the time, she just thought that the space could preserve things, so she habitually put everything inside.

Her personal belongings were all kept in the space.

However, when she said this, the expressions of the others were quite complicated, with some looking bewildered and others puzzled.

Wen Li forgot that she had never told these beastmen about her having a spatial ability.

The only one who knew was Pei Yu.

To save time, she simply put all the potatoes the two of them had dug up into her spatial storage right in front of Pei Yu.

However, Wen Li had gotten used to using the space secretly, and most of the time she would avoid people.

She hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell others, so they didn't know she had a spatial ability.

"On you?"

Xin Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and looked Wen Li over and over again.

She was only wearing a thick animal skin skirt, and there was no food at all.

Wen Li explained, "Actually, I have a spatial ability."

Wen Li demonstrated telekinesis in front of everyone, retrieving a large amount of food.

Looking at the four shocked faces, Wen Li found it amusing.

"I've been forgetting to tell you all," Wen Li said softly.

They quickly came to their senses and didn't ask any further questions.

The most urgent thing is to find a new home.

As for those things buried under the rubble... even if they are found, they probably won't be of any use.

Fortunately, the small kitchen was made of wood, so the damage wasn't too severe, and some of the utensils inside were still usable.

With a wave of her hand, Wen Li stored them all into her spatial storage.

"Then let's go, there's no room left here."

Wen Li followed her several beastmen forward.

Their original cave had collapsed and was no longer habitable, so they had to look elsewhere.

As for furniture and utensils, Wen Li wasn't worried.

Her space is furnished with plenty of furniture and daily necessities; once she finds a place to live, she can simply move in with her bags.

Wen Li was incredibly glad that she liked to put things into her spatial storage.

She kept all her precious and essential items in her personal space.

The group continued walking, but the situation in the tribe was not good either.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the area around her house was the most severely affected, as the entire mountain collapsed.

Although the other people's homes were also in a mess, they were still habitable enough that they didn't have to search for new accommodations like they did.

However, there are quite a few orc families similar to them.

One of the five stayed behind to take care of Wen Li, while the other four went their separate ways.

Wen Li and Xin Yuan stayed together and found a place to sit down.

Xin Yuan still looked uneasy.

The snow had stopped by then, the sky was tinged with an eerie blood red, and the temperature was still very low.

Wen Li was shivering from the cold outside. Even though she was wrapped in a cloak, her hands and feet were still freezing.

Xin Yuan noticed her change and gently leaned closer. "Are you too cold?"

Wen Li nodded: "It's cold."

Her body is sensitive to both cold and heat; she's incredibly delicate.

Although I'm wearing the thickest clothes I have at home, it's still cold outside with the wind blowing from time to time.

Wen Li rubbed her hands together; the backs of her fair hands were already red and stiff from the cold.

Xin Yuan took her hand and wrapped it around it.

Wen Li felt a warm current flow into her.

Xin Yuan's palm was hot and scalding, enveloping her and sending warmth away her chill.

"Will this be any better?"

Xin Yuan held her hand and looked at her intently.

Wen Li nodded gently. "Thank you."

With a slightly distant attitude, Xin Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "...No need."

The two sat there for a while, and then Xin Yuan found a sheltered spot and pulled her to sit down.

"It'll be warmer here," Xin Yuan said.

The two sat side by side, and Wen Li subconsciously leaned closer to Xin Yuan, pressing against him and closing her eyes.

Xin Yuan sensed her movement, glanced down at her, and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.

Xin Yuan's body was like a natural furnace, constantly radiating heat, so much so that Wen Li kept pressing herself against him.

Xin Yuan's cheeks gradually burned.

After the two switched places, there was no cold wind blowing, and her body gradually warmed up.

Wen Li closed her eyes and browsed the system shop, hoping to find something useful.

Now that my home is gone, I have to start all over again.

Wen Li slid along and soon discovered a skill—sewing.

This skill item was recently added to the game; Wen Li hadn't seen it before at least today.

It costs 50 points to redeem, which isn't cheap.

But it's very useful for Wen Li right now.

She had recently acquired over a hundred boxes of fabric, which she kept in her storage space.

After the initial excitement of that day, Wen Li realized a problem—she didn't know how to make clothes.

At most, she can mend torn clothes; asking her to make clothes from scratch is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Wen Li had tried it before, but the results were terrible, wasting a pretty good piece of fabric.

Feeling that continuing to build would be a waste, Wen Li decisively stopped.

She wondered if the system had such a skill, but it didn't appear even after she tried for many days.

It's all good now, it's finally out!

Wen Li was overjoyed.

Change!
Before, the beastmen all had their own clothes to wear, but now that there's a sudden earthquake, they haven't moved anything out of their homes.

Everyone was left with only the clothes they were wearing.

If you have this skill, you won't have to worry about winter clothes.

During this period, the favorability of these people has been increasing, a little bit every day. Although it is not much, the cumulative value is quite considerable.

Wen Li had over a hundred points on hand, and she decisively exchanged them for the sewing skill. The next second, she felt as if her mind had been filled with a wealth of knowledge.

However, there was no opportunity to put it into practice at the moment, so Wen Li patiently continued to check the mall.

After spending some points to buy some small props, Zhu Yan also came looking for him.

Seeing Wen Li and Xin Yuan leaning so intimately together, Zhu Yan's gaze darkened.

"We've found the place."

The four of them split up and worked quite efficiently.

Pei Yu found the location; it was near the tribe, with a river across from it.

The damage in this area is not severe.

Led by Zhu Yan, Wen Li and Xin Yuan arrived at the newly discovered cave.

Others have already gathered here.

When Wen Li went inside, she saw that the area was very large, and it wouldn't be a problem for all of them to stay there at the same time.

Moreover, the cave has a rather unique structure, with three smaller caves inside, forming a natural three-room-one-living-room layout.

Everyone is satisfied.

"This place is nice, don't you think?"

Shen Yihe looked at Wen Li.

As the wife of a beast, she has the final say.

The others also looked at Wen Li.

Wen Li nodded, "That's fine, let's stay here."

Having finalized their new accommodations, everyone began tidying up the cave in preparation for moving in.

This cave was previously uninhabited and in a state of disarray; it will take a lot of effort to clean it up.

They wouldn't let Wen Li do any work, so Wen Li just watched from the sidelines, while also tidying up the things in her own space.

Most of the things you need for daily life are actually available in this space.

However, there was no stone bed in this cave; it was completely empty.

The group of people had no choice but to sleep on the floor after moving in.

It's winter now, and there's no hay. Wen Li regrets not having filled her space with hay not long ago.

Spreading it out on the floor like this makes sleeping more comfortable than lying directly on the floor.

She looked around and an idea flashed through her mind.

There are quite a lot of trees here; cutting them down and making a few beds wouldn't be a bad idea.

Bai Yanci is the best cook in the family.

Wen Li had heard Xin Yuan say that some of the wooden chairs and tables in the house were made by Bai Yanci.

Wen Li immediately went to Bai Yanci.

He was working hard, sweat beading on his forehead and his cheeks slightly flushed, constantly moving stones out of the cave, having already made several trips.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yanci wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Come with me to make furniture," Wen Li said readily.

Bai Yanci was taken aback and looked into the cave.

Wen Li said, "I have all the tools."

Wen Li spent some points to redeem a woodworking package, which included a complete set of tools such as a hammer and nails.

"Wait a minute," Bai Yanci said to the others as he returned to the cave.

Soon, they arrived at Wen Li's side.

“What do you want to do?” he asked.

"You know how to make beds, tables, chairs, and the like, right?" Wen Li looked at him.

Bai Yanci nodded.

"Let's go then."

The others stayed home to clean the cave, while Wen Li and Bai Yan went to select wood.

Bai Yanci was even more professional in this regard than she was, and he quickly selected a sturdy tree.

The tree trunk was several times thicker than Wen Li herself. Just as Wen Li was wondering if the saw in the woodworking kit could cut through it, Bai Yanci gestured for her to move aside.

"Come stand here."

Wen Li jogged over.

After confirming that she was in a safe area, Bai Yanci took a few steps back to run up and then kicked the giant tree hard.

"boom--!"

Under Wen Li's astonished gaze, the giant tree collapsed with a crash, falling to the ground and kicking up a cloud of snow dust.

Bai Yanci checked it over and said, "It's alright."

He then dragged the tree to an open area.

Wen Li followed behind, completely dumbfounded.

Bai Yanci looks pretty, but he's surprisingly rough when it comes to work; the contrast is a bit too much.

"Wen Li, please call Zhu Yan for me," Bai Yanci said.

The two weren't too far apart, and Wen Li jogged over to call Zhu Yan.

Bai Yanci pointed to the big tree and said, "Cut it up."

Zhu Yan understood what he meant; this wasn't the first time the two had worked together. He said, "The usual?"

"Correct."

Wen Li stood aside and watched quietly.

She came to help, but she couldn't get involved.

Wen Li was about to ask if she needed a saw.

Before he could speak, Zhu Yan's form changed, and he reverted to his enormous beast form.

His beast form is a huge white tiger with a tuft of red fur on his forehead.

Wen Li was stunned.

This was the first time she had seen Zhu Yan's beast form. It was enormous, agile, and incredibly imposing.

The white tiger raised its paw and scratched at the giant tree in front of it a few times, and a flat and even plank appeared.

Wen Li: "..."

Zhu Yan's claws were much more useful than her saw; she could cut through such a large piece of wood like it was tofu.

With Zhu Yan's help, the wood was quickly obtained, and they could start making it immediately.

"I go first."

Zhu Yan left as soon as he finished his work, as he still had to help out.

Wen Li watched his retreating figure, her feelings somewhat complicated.

Come to think of it, her beast husbands are actually quite reliable. None of them let her down at crucial moments, while she became the little good-for-nothing.

"Wen Li, come here."

Bai Yanci's voice pulled Wen Li back to reality, and she quickly walked over.

Bai Yanci was quite knowledgeable about furniture such as tables and chairs, but he hadn't done much work with wooden beds.

In the Beast World continent, most orcs sleep directly on stone beds, and those without stone beds sleep on the ground.

With Wen Li's explanation, he gradually grasped the basics.

Practice makes perfect. Bai Yanci is very capable, and after trying to make a bed, he became even more efficient.

Wen Li also helped out, such as hammering nails.

Before it got completely dark, the two of them had set up six beds, six chairs, and a table.

It looks a bit rudimentary, but it works.

Wen Li put the furniture into her spatial storage and returned to the cave with Bai Yanci.

The once messy cave had been cleaned up by Zhu Yan and the others. Xin Yuan even went to the vicinity to collect some firewood and lit a fire at the entrance.

The only downside is that the cave interior is too empty; there's nothing there.

"You're back." Pei Yu looked at the two of them.

It was already dark by then. After a brief pause, the snow resumed, falling heavier and heavier.

Wen Li first took out cooking utensils and tonight's meals from her spatial storage and handed them to Xin Yuan.

Then, he took out a lampwick.

Entering the cave, they began to place the furniture.
