Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Is Chapter 14 just a verbal thank you?

Si Shuo just wanted to call out to his mother; this cold-blooded animal was truly unbearable.

She simply put her arms in front of her face, closed her eyes and shook her head. Since she was deaf, as long as she didn't open her eyes, she could pretend she couldn't hear anything and refuse to communicate!

Tao Yun usually travels with caravans to various tribes around the Dongye Forest. On the way, he encounters many ignorant stray beasts and wild animals, and often kills them. He is covered in blood and has a strong sense of ferocity.

Yi Mei was startled by the hint of anger he was displaying. She realized that Si Shuo probably really didn't like this third-in-command.

She held her husband's hand in one hand and mustered her courage to say, "Lord Tao Yun, Si Shuo can't hear you."

She's a bit timid; she might not be a good match for you.

Tao Yun's face darkened, his eyes bulging even more. "Whether it's suitable or not isn't up to you to decide. Xiao Si Shuo is just shy."

"My combat strength isn't bad, so why can't I become her beast husband?"

Yi Mei buried her head in Rong Xing's arms, her body trembling slightly.

"Tao Yun, come back," Ji Liang said lazily. "You are the third leader of Dark Raven, not some unruly stray beast that snatches any female it sees."

That little female is delicate and can't withstand your brute force.

Tao Yun turned his head and looked at the boss. He had been so arrogant just now, but now he looked a little aggrieved: "Boss, I didn't do anything wrong."

What's wrong with me? Why doesn't Si Shuo want me?

Ji Liang hissed, "Tao Yun is strong, but he's not very bright. Who said that females only look at strength when recruiting beast husbands?"

The Beast God said that you two are not destined to be together. While your feelings for him aren't too deep, you should quickly find another female and avoid getting involved in a fruitless relationship.

Where are there any other females? They're not from the tribe, they don't know much. After traveling all over the country for so long, he's only met this one nice person!

"Did the Beast God really say that?" he asked, unwilling to give up.

Ji Liang nodded and said seriously, "That's right. People blessed by the Beast God can take a liking to each other at first glance. The fact that only you took a liking to him is a test from the Beast God."

He was talking nonsense with a straight face, but Tao Yun believed him. He could only scratch his head in frustration and gently nudge Si Shuo.

Si Shuo timidly peeked through his fingers.

Tao Yun was moved to tears. How could such a wonderful female not be compatible with him?

"Si Shuo, don't be afraid of me. I won't be your beastly husband anymore. Look at the table and see if there's anything you like. Take whatever you want; it's on me."

"You're the first female I've ever wanted to be my mate, you deserve it!"

Si Shuo pursed his lips. This beastman was actually not bad, kind of simple-minded, but he looked terrifying.

"Thanks, you're very kind, but I have something to give you." She gave him a "friend zone" card. "I brought something, I can exchange it myself."

Tao Yun was helpless. As expected, the Beast God did not treat him well. Why couldn't he send anything away?

He left, looking back every few steps, and then squatted down next to Ji Liang, dejected, drawing circles on the ground.

Ji Liang couldn't help but chuckle; the little female wasn't as timid as he had imagined.

Soon it was Si Shuo and Yi Mei's turn to line up.

The two handed their items to the Green Serpent Beastman, who appraised their value. They could then exchange these items for other goods at that price, and make up for any shortfall with crystals.

Following Yi Mei's example, Si Shuo first exchanged for sea crystal sand, which is sea salt, and some brightly colored animal hides in various shades of pink, light blue, pale yellow, and light purple, thick and thin, with various patterns.

She also exchanged some fish skin and snake skin, which are suitable for summer wear and as base layers.

Bracelets and necklaces were replaced with cotton fabric for the rest.

Of course, she went back three more times to move the remaining dried river fish and sold them all!

Carrying a full wicker basket, Si Shuo was in a good mood and made an appointment with Yi Mei to sew clothes together when they got home.

At noon, she cooked a pot of fish ball and shredded pork porridge, added two bird eggs, served it with a dish of pickled wild vegetables, and secretly exchanged it for a bottle of pure milk to supplement her nutrition.

After eating and drinking her fill, she strolled around the cave to digest her food while continuing to study the cookbooks she had bought from the supermarket's book section.

The orcs' living environment was too harsh. Even though the long winter had passed, people had already begun to busy themselves preparing for the next rainy and cold season six months later.

Whether in the original owner's memories or in the descriptions of the beastmen, these two seasons every year are like a life-threatening hurdle, and many beastmen cannot get through them each time!

She originally thought that the orcs were at an extremely backward and primitive economic level. In fact, the continent of the beast world had already developed a preliminary civilization. People were less restricted by the climate, unlike those in the peripheral areas, such as the Rooney tribe and the Thousand Meow tribe, who had to work hard every day to gather and hunt just to cope.

If possible, she would like to visit the continent in the Beast World, and even settle there, choosing a good location to open a restaurant!

After a short lunch break, Si Shuo dragged a wooden stump and carried a shallow basket to the entrance of the cave, where he and Yi Mei did needlework in the sun.

Yi Mei nudged Si Shuo with her knee, and after she looked up, she asked curiously in a low voice, "Si Shuo, although that Tao Yun is a bit scary, I don't think he means any harm."

"Aren't you going to reconsider? He's really strong. If you miss this one, you don't know when you'll encounter another beastman with level six combat power."

Si Shuo made a face and lied, "When I was little, I was bitten by a snake. I don't like it; it's cold and creepy, like a beastman. Zhile is much better; it's warm to hug!"

Yimei smiled and nodded: "That's right. Stray animals are a mix of good and bad, but they are born with shallow emotions, and many of them never even see their parents."

Sometimes their methods are too extreme, disregarding the feelings of other orcs.

Some females, disregarding the objections of their relatives and friends, took stray animals as mates. However, as the initial novelty wore off, they couldn't accept the animals' cruelty, selfishness, and cold-heartedness, and ultimately forcibly removed the animal seal.

Si Shuo was taken aback. "It can forcibly remove the beast mark?"

The original owner's father passed away early, leaving her without anyone to teach her, and she was also deaf, so there were many things she didn't understand. Yi Mei patiently explained, "Of course, the Beast God used the power of heaven and earth to condense the Beast Seal in order to protect the females."

When a female possesses the mark of the beast, she gains the absolute protection of the male, as well as the nourishment of one-tenth of the male's life through sacrifice.

When a female is in danger, the male will immediately sense it and rush to her no matter where he is. If a male becomes unfaithful, he will suffer excruciating pain…

If the male dies, the markings on the female will gradually disappear.

"And if a female dies or is forcibly stripped of her beast mark, the male's lifespan and combat strength will be reduced by half..."

Because of the Beast God's preference for females, the Beast Mark has a strong binding force on males.

Si Shuo was deeply moved. Every male who offered up the Beast Mark was a warrior!

She felt a cool gaze, like a cold wind brushing against the downy hair on her face.

Si Shuo subconsciously turned his head to look and met a pair of golden vertical pupils.

The owner of the vertical pupils and the leader happened to walk up to them, squinting as they looked over. His voice, neither loud nor soft, reached her ears with remarkable clarity:

"...This time we'll trouble Chief Wu Chuan. Please send flying orcs to inform the surrounding tribes that our Dark Raven caravan will be resting in the Luni tribe for the time being."

Those who want to exchange items can come over now…

With the Dark Raven Caravan around, why would the tribe need to be constantly on guard against the wandering beasts roaming around them?

Chief Wu Chuan happily agreed, fearing that Ji Liang might change his mind, and immediately ordered his men to make the arrangements.

Ji Liang leaped to the cave entrance and sat down an arm's length away from Si Shuo.

He stretched one leg out and bent the other, with his hand lazily resting on it.

The male's tall stature, long legs, and long arms gave Si Shuo the illusion of being embraced, as well as the coolness of an air conditioner blowing in his ear.

She gripped the animal hide tightly in her hands, her blood almost stopping. She was terrified, but she dared not lower her head to avoid it, for fear that he would grab her chin!

"Is Zhile your beast husband?" Ji Liang asked with a smile.

Si Shuo nodded.

"My name is Ji Liang. Your beast husband was stripped of his powers in the Dongye Forest, and I was the one who picked him up when I happened to be passing by. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by wild beasts by now, and who knows what kind of plants he would have become fertilizer for."

Si Shuo's heart tightened, then she stood up earnestly and bowed deeply to him, "Thank you, Lord Ji Liang. You saved Zhile, so it's also my responsibility to save the orc!"

Ji Liang smiled. "A life-saving orc? Just a verbal thank you?"

Si Shuo pursed his lips, slowly walked around him, ran to the cave, and quickly ran out again, carrying a full ten level-six crystals, which he handed to Ji Liang with great reverence.

"Lord Ji Liang, although crystals are vulgar and cannot compare to Zhi Le's fate, this is the only method we can think of for the time being. Thank you for your help."

Wherever you need our help, we'll go to great lengths, no questions asked!

It's truly rare to hear such bold and unrestrained words from such a delicate and beautiful young woman. I really want to snatch her away and make her my female, so I can travel all over the country with her.

Ji Liang felt slightly excited, and hissed as he flicked out his forked tongue.

Si Shuo's whole body stiffened and his legs went weak; he was so frightened that he could have a heart attack!

She really mustered a lot of courage to keep herself from showing any fear, for fear of angering this snake-beastman.

Ji Liang took a level-six crystal from her hand, his cool fingertips brushing against the back of her soft hand.

He held it and played with it, "It's really incomparable. I'm the head of the Dark Raven Caravan. I don't lack crystals, no matter what."

He was clearly not very interested in this approach.

"However, Zhile has been good to you, letting you give away level-six crystals. Hiss, there isn't a single male in your family, aren't you afraid of attracting unwanted attention?"

He looked down at the beastmen walking back and forth; the temptation of level six crystals was considerable.

Si Shuo pursed his lips. He did it on purpose!

He clearly doesn't care about what I've been hiding, so why would he bother to show it off to others?

The little female's deep blue eyes were filled with him, and there was a hint of aggrieved accusation in them.

Ji Liang couldn't help but touch his nose, his vertical pupils trembling slightly. He tossed the crystal back, seemingly finding it utterly tasteless.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I just wanted to tell you that I've been in the Rooney tribe these past few days."

You can come to me if you need anything. I, like you, hope that Zhile is doing well. He is a talented and loyal orc.

We shouldn't be degraded by some filthy things!

The second one has arrived!

My wife doesn't like cold-blooded animals, what should I do...?
