Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 17: How Does It Captivate People So Much?

The beastmen in the tribe are usually quite busy, either hunting and gathering, or collecting firewood, sewing and making jerky, etc. They never have a moment of rest except for mealtimes.

Occasionally, some guards would pass by, and Si Shuo would casually slip into the ravine.

Once inside, she quickly found a relatively secluded corner to hide in, where she could see whoever came in first.

Moreover, she awakened a special ability, which enhanced her sensory perception.

Si Shuo took out a handful of seeds and placed them one by one in his palm to try to encourage them to sprout.

She selected several species, all of which were fast-growing and thorny.

After deciding on the seeds she would use regularly, Si Shuo began to try to grow the seeds while quickly weaving the cage. She even went to the supermarket's book section to exchange for a weaving tutorial.

However, she wove the cage to better hide herself or to make the other party helpless against her.

This requires the cage to be dense so that the other party cannot reach in; the leaves to cover her figure; and an inconspicuous mess so that when the orcs look over, they will treat her as a background!

Si Shuo spent the entire afternoon weaving, and before his supernatural abilities ran out, he finally had a clue.

She had left several clumps of plants in the ravine, which contained a faint woody aura. These attracted several piglets who, undeterred by the prickles in their mouths, buried their heads in the plants and began to gnaw on them.

Si Shuo fell silent. The beast's teeth were incredibly sharp! Luckily, she had prepared poisonous plants to use with it, otherwise, once she was discovered, she would quickly become someone else's food.

Back in the cave, Si Shuo was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

She lit a campfire, placed a thin stone pot on it for grilling meat, and decided to distract herself with delicious food!

Of course, she placed several small electric fans nearby, with frozen glutinous rice balls in front of them, so that the air blowing out was icy cold.

He took out the piece of beef from his spatial storage, cut it into slices about a finger thick, and marinated it with seasonings.

Cook pasta, pan-fry steak, eggs, and broccoli, garnish with two cherry tomatoes, pour on pepper sauce, and grab a bottle of orange soda.

Si Shuo felt like he was eating at a themed restaurant, and he had no idea that he was in an awkward period of being in love.

The only thing she regretted was not having Zhile with her, and that she had been staying home too much lately, only going on one gathering mission, which had caused her to run out of resources and her beast coins to be used up.

When will she be able to save enough money to buy a phone? Even if the phone can't connect to the internet, she can still play offline games.

She has absolutely no resistance to these little games and can easily while away a whole day!

After leaving a few slices of steak with black pepper sauce for Zhile, Si Shuo took a shower, lay on the bed, and turned on the rechargeable desk lamp to read the uncut version of "The Adventures of a Certain Young Man," which cost over twenty yuan.

With the novel captivating her, she paid less attention to her body.

Especially now, her situation is similar to that of a certain Xun, both of them have arrived in a place without the current technological civilization of humans, and they have to rely on themselves to make a living.

But as the night deepened, her body began to protest, refusing to listen to her self-deception.

She suppressed the cry that was rising in her throat, biting the animal skin and whimpering. It was unclear whether it was because she had restrained herself for too long and was now experiencing a backlash, or whether the period of longing was like a relative of hers, not a uniform amount, but rather a process of increasing and decreasing.

Just then, a soft knocking sound came from the wooden door. A flash of crimson appeared in her azure eyes, but the person outside was unusually persistent, as if he wouldn't give up until she opened the door.

Si Shuo took a handkerchief and bit it to suppress his shouts. He staggered to the door and growled, "What are you doing? You're afraid others won't know, aren't you?"

"You, the head of a traveling merchant group, why would you be so foolish as to get involved with a frail, disabled woman like me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Si Shuo froze, his mind clearing somewhat.

She wasn't pretending to be hearing impaired, so why did she come running over to talk to him? Sure enough, Ji Liang outside the door chuckled: "Hiss, so our little Shuo Shuo can hear? You're such a good actor. Is it that besides Zhi Le, only I know your secret?"

Little Shuo Shuo, with her hoarse voice, speaks fluently and captivatingly.

Si Shuo took a deep breath, his nails digging fiercely into his palms, the air thick with the metallic scent of blood. "I won't open the door, get out!"

Ji Liang's expression changed: "Si Shuo, if you're feeling unwell, don't torture yourself. If Zhi Le knew, he would definitely feel sorry for you."

If you don't want to open the door, I absolutely won't go in. Can I just talk to you from the doorway?

Si Shuo clung to the door, then slid gently to the ground. The heat on her body made her instinctively want to get closer to him, so she squeezed hard against the door.

Her voice involuntarily tinged with grievance, "No, you'll be discovered if you stay here..."

Ji Liangqi laughed, "Si Shuo, we orcs have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and there are caves everywhere here."

Do you think that if I hadn't been guarding outside your cave, expending so much of my supernatural abilities just to set up a defensive shield for you, isolating you from sound and smell?

"There are probably countless dead females and males with combat strength of level one or two standing outside your cave now!"

He should clearly state what he did.

Si Shuo paused, bit his handkerchief, and mumbled, "None of the males in our tribe dare to get involved with me. Aren't you afraid that I'm frail and won't live long, and that your strength will be halved after I die?"

Ji Liang smirked, "It seems that Zhile has protected you too well. Males with the mark of the beast dare not touch you, and males without the mark of the beast are not brave enough to bully you because Zhile and his friends do not have the courage."

"You're so beautiful, I'm smitten to the core. What's the point of crystals or level seven combat power? Without a female I want to protect, life as a beast is utterly tasteless."

Si Shuo snorted, "I don't like cold-blooded animals!"

"Little Shuo Shuo, are you sure you don't like it now? It's so cold," Ji Liang whispered, as if speaking right in her ear.

She likes it, she wants it ice-cold...

That bastard, how does he know how to charm people?

"I... I'm not a beast, subservient to instinct. Even if you take advantage of me, we have no feelings for each other, aren't you afraid I'll forcibly remove the beast mark?" Si Shuo scratched at the door with his claws in distress.

As Ji Liang listened to the screeching sound on the wooden door, his heart ached. "Feelings can be cultivated, just like other males and females. If they like each other, they'll become partners, and if they spend a lot of time together, feelings will develop."

Little Shuo Shuo, I will be very good. Please don't treat me with prejudice against stray animals, okay?

I made a name for myself as a traveling merchant, all because I wanted to be able to stand confidently in front of a woman I liked and tell her that I was different.

Like Zhile, I am a person of loyalty and righteousness. If I encounter injustice on the road, I will lend a helping hand whenever possible.

I have not done anything evil, I still have the mark of the beast, and I am also trying to learn how to be tactful in my dealings with others.

I work so much harder than others, don't I deserve to stand by your side and protect you?

At least, don't dismiss me based on my cold-bloodedness and my status as a stray animal...

Ji Liang: Hiss, I'm squatting by the door knocker, I wonder if I can get some meat there...
