Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 10 I'll feel like you're thinking of me

In addition to fruits, Si Shuo also saw many herbs, including those that stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, clear heat and detoxify, stop coughs, stop diarrhea, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation.

She wasn't picky; she picked any fruit and herbs she saw. She stored two-thirds of the fruit in her spatial storage, and one-third in a vine basket inside. As for the herbs, she only kept a few types that were familiar and common to everyone.

Her down jacket was completely airtight, and she was wearing animal skin underneath.

After working on and off for two hours, Si Shuo had filled most of the wicker basket. She was hot and tired, so she decided to create a small space for herself, take off her windbreaker, and rest while drinking warm meat soup.

Si Shuo loved the feeling of working up a sweat; this feeling of being full of energy was something she could never have longed for in her previous life.

Seeing that it was still early, she thought for a moment and took out a superpower awakening pill similar to Maltesers, put it in her mouth, and the pill melted instantly in her mouth. A gentle power surged through her esophagus and spread throughout her body.

Before long, Si Shuo felt even hotter and more tired, and in a daze, he nestled on the animal skin and fell asleep.

The faint sound of a bugle call came from nearby, and she was suddenly awakened. A foul stench waking her up almost made her vomit.

Si Shuo slapped his forehead. He didn't have time to take care of himself, so he could only grit his teeth and hurry up and tidy himself up. He didn't even put on protective clothing. As he walked back, he pulled some of the cut thorns back with him.

As she approached the exit, she took the wicker basket out of her spatial storage and carried it on her back.

Fearing he would miss the group returning to the tribe, Si Shuo jogged all the way.

The vine basket behind her was filled with at least thirty pounds of wild fruits and herbs, but she didn't feel any weight at all; in fact, she felt as light as a swallow!

Has she successfully awakened her superpowers?

Sure enough, she saw the unread messages from the system in her mind.

System: Congratulations, host, on awakening your primary healing wood-type ability. Level 1 skill, Gentle Breeze, has a certain effect on stopping bleeding and accelerating the healing of injuries. Proficiency: 0/100. Auxiliary skill: Level 1 Childbirth Technique. Proficiency: 0/100.

Si Shuo couldn't help but clench her fists and stomp her feet excitedly. With her superpower, she had an extra layer of protection in the Beast World Continent!

If she cultivates her supernatural abilities to a high level, she can also help those she cares about, instead of helplessly watching them suffer severe injuries without receiving effective treatment, resulting in disability or even death.

No one felt the feeling of waiting to die more deeply than her...

"Si Shuo, where are you?" Yi Mei's voice came from not far away.

Si Shuo hurried towards the place where the two had parted ways.

Seeing her emerge from the bushes, Yimei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran over to wave. "It's my fault. I forgot you can't hear me. This is my first time collecting, I should have been with you."

Si Shuo smiled and shook his head. "I've gathered resources in the tribe before. I just arrived in a new place and didn't manage my time well. I'll be more careful next time!"

As she got closer, Yi Mei caught a whiff of her scent and couldn't help but cover her nose. "Si Shuo, where have you been? Did you offend that stinky lady while you were gathering herbs?"

Si Shuo frowned, blushed, and nodded vigorously, lying through his teeth: "I found a fruit patch, but then I poked it open—that stinky lady's house!"

Her body, having awakened a special ability, expelled foul-smelling filth. Such a strong odor couldn't possibly come from just one insect.

Yimei said sympathetically, "Then you'd better be careful next time. Let's go back to the tribe first, and you can take a shower when we get home."

To prevent his scent from lingering on others, Si Shuo placed a piece of animal skin under his mount when he climbed onto the golden leopard.

After returning to the tribe, Si Shuo handed over half of the fruit first, then hurriedly climbed home to take a bath.

The hunting party returned as the sun set. Zhile, carrying his prey, ran ahead. Reaching the tribe's gate, he saw his little female among the welcoming orcs. He transformed into human form, his expression cold, and after a few words to his two friends, strode home.

Upon seeing this, Yi Mei laughed and called out to him, "Zhi Le, our gathering team just got back. Don't worry, Si Shuo is fine. She just had bad luck running into a bunch of stink bugs. They're taking a shower at home right now."

Zhi Le breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded his thanks to her, and still rushed home with unease.

When he jumped onto the platform, he looked on with amusement as the little female squatted on the ground boiling water. Two streaks of ash were smeared on her fair face, and a faint fishy smell did indeed linger in the air.

He coughed softly, suppressing a smile. "Little kitten, I've been out all day, covered in blood and dust. Come with me for a shower, okay?"

Si Shuo looked up at the boy at the door and realized that they hadn't seen each other all day, and she couldn't suppress her longing for him.

Mainly because she was too busy to think about it before!

"I... I gathered a lot of wild fruits and some herbs today, but I have a bit of that smell on me, and I was afraid it would bother you. I didn't mean to not pick you up!" She stood up and explained earnestly.

Zhi Le's eyes were full of tenderness. "I know, I'm so glad to be home and see you. You don't need to go to the door to greet me, the smell of blood is too strong."

Let's go take a shower, and when we come back we'll have finished dividing the meat and eating!

Today we hunted a litter of tusked boars, killed three adults, and brought back seven piglets. I'll take you to see them later.

Si Shuo nodded, put out the fire, grabbed a change of clothes, and tried to climb the stone steps by himself.

Zhile stepped forward and scooped her up in his arms, laughing, "I love her no matter what. We've both worked hard all day, so no one will mind. We'll take a bath together later!"

Si Shuo blushed and closed her eyes. Whatever, she was used to her own smell and couldn't smell anything bad anymore.

Zhile still took her to the stream where they had met the day before.

Si Shuo remembered that when she opened her survival package this morning, she received a 20-meter-long shrimp trap.

She glanced at Zhile, pursed her lips, and touched the animal print on her wrist.

"Kitty, stop touching me, I can't take it," Zhile said, rubbing his head, his voice slightly hoarse, his gray-blue eyes tinged with a hint of crimson. "The Mark of the Beast is what binds us together. When you touch it, it's like a breeze whispering in my ear. I know you're thinking of me if you just whisper it once or twice, but if you keep touching it, especially when I'm around, I feel like you're thinking of me."

Si Shuo immediately understood what he meant. She quickly put her hands behind her back, "I was just curious, that's all!"

Zhile raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Besides missing me, what else do you mean? We need to communicate properly. It's my responsibility to take good care of my female and understand her needs."

Si Shuo is shy, but he loves to tease her, treating her like a little kitten.

She simply took out the shrimp trap. The creatures in the Beast World Continent are all quite large, and the shrimp trap provided by the system is made of metal wire mesh.

"This suddenly appeared in the space. It is said that if you put some bait inside and put it in the water for a period of time, it will attract fish, shrimp and crabs to crawl inside."

I want to eat shrimp!

She'd always preferred river and seafood, and now that she's a cat-beast, just thinking about them makes her mouth water...
