Chapter 18 was exploited again.

Si Shuo tried his best to stay awake and listened to every word he said.

She is a modern person, and her views on love and marriage are different from those of the beastmen. One emphasizes the spiritual aspect, while the other emphasizes survival.

However, it must be said that Ji Liang's words softened her heart a little.

She said weakly, "How do I know if you're telling the truth?"

Ji Liang chuckled: "The beast mark is proof of my sincerity, little Shuo Shuo. I won't touch you, will you let me in?"

I'll channel some spiritual energy into you to make you feel better. Trying to tough it out will only harm your body.

"No! I can't open the door for you," Si Shuo said, his gums bleeding from biting the handkerchief so hard.

Ji Liang sighed softly, "Sigh, Xiao Shuo Shuo saw through me again. Fine, I won't go in. Can I just send you spiritual energy through the door?"

As she spoke, a cool breath squeezed in through the crack in the door and slowly caressed Si Shuo.

She almost let out a soft moan of discomfort, and her furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"My dear, the cold winter has just passed, and your body is too weak to withstand the chill of the night. Lay the animal hide at the doorway, then cover it with another layer, and I will continue to channel my spiritual energy into you."

Suddenly, the spiritual energy stopped. Si Shuo subconsciously grabbed at the air, softly hummed in agreement, and ran to the inner room. He brought back an animal skin, spread it out, and covered himself with it before whispering, "I, I'm all set."

Ji Liang hissed, really wanting to break down the door.

Do the females know what it means when they say this to a male?

He had finally managed to lower the little female's guard a bit, but he could only miserably be blocked by a wooden door, remotely channeling his spiritual energy into her while most of it dissipated into the air.

However, the spiritual energy lowered the temperature inside the cave, making Si Shuo, who was in a period of longing, much more comfortable.

"Then you should get some sleep. I'll stay until dawn and then leave," he said, leaning against the door, looking at the cool moonlight in the sky, his voice incredibly tender.

Si Shuo smiled slightly. "Thank you, Lord Ji Liang."

"If you really appreciate it, could you make me a bracelet when you're free during the day?" Ji Liang raised an eyebrow and said bluntly.

Si Shuo had never met anyone who could take advantage of a situation faster than him, but this person had done her a huge favor, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Before long, Si Shuo, who had been tormented for two days without much rest, couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep, snoring softly.

Si Shuo opened his eyes after a dreamless night, and habitually touched the beast mark on his wrist to let Zhi Le know that he was awake and missed him.

When she came to her senses, she found herself sleeping at the entrance of the cave. Thinking about what happened last night, her face flushed and her body temperature rose a little.

Looking at her meager two-digit virtual currency, Si Shuo didn't dare to splurge on ready-made meals from the supermarket. Fortunately, she had bought a bag of rice and a bag of flour beforehand, both weighing 100 jin (50 kg), enough to last her for a long time.

Moreover, the things she buys from the supermarket can be temporarily stored in the locker, which doesn't take up her space.

She scooped up some flour, added some water, cracked in an egg, added salt and wild scallions, and stirred it into a batter.

Brush a thin layer of oil on the stone pan, scoop a spoonful of batter and spread it out. Once the batter has solidified, flip it over and cook one pancake every two or three minutes!

Si Shuo stacked up a lot of scallion and egg pancakes, which were soft, chewy, and savory. It was her favorite breakfast, and paired with a thick millet porridge, it was so satisfying.

She put the leftover egg pancakes in her spatial storage, opened the door, took out some fruit that Zhile had picked, and ate them while sunbathing.

Hearing the noise, Yi Mei peeked out, waved to her, and silently asked, "Si Shuo, did you hear anything last night?"

Si Shuo stiffened. Didn't Ji Liang say that he had set up some kind of defensive barrier to isolate sound and smell? How come someone still heard him?

She shook her head. Yi Mei slapped her forehead. "I forgot you can't hear me, Si Shuo."

She pointed down with slight excitement, then continued, "Your sister brought back a stray beast from the cave last night. It's a level 5 crocodile beastman named Youwei, a small captain in the Dark Raven Caravan!"

Oh my goodness, those two made quite a ruckus last night! No wonder they're like wild animals, their ferocity was so intense it even made my Rongxing act much more aggressively than usual..."

Si Shuo was stunned. Was this something she could listen to for free?

Seeing her silly expression, Yimei laughed and said, "It's a good thing you can't hear me, otherwise you'd miss your Zhile terribly, wouldn't you?"

Si Shuo glared at her and snorted, "You dared to provoke me at a time like this..."

Yimei nudged her and gestured towards her with her lips.

Si Shuo followed her gaze and saw Bu Meng and two other stray beasts going in and out, acting as laborers, delivering things into Yu Jiao Cave.

However, she also saw Ji Liang swaying over. His lazy walking posture didn't look like a beastman at all; he looked more like a prince from ancient times who was just strolling around!

He looked at her, hissed, stuck out his tongue, and chuckled as he touched his wrist.

Si Shuo pursed her lips and didn't look at him, but she also went into the cave, packed some things, and sat at the cave entrance with Yi Mei, carrying a light vine basket, to do some work.

She has already sewed four sets of spring clothes for herself and two sets for Zhile.

Besides clothes, she also made a lot of accessories, such as fluffy hair accessories, brooches, bracelets, necklaces, and wristbands.

Yimei and the others thought it looked nice, so they made some too.

Si Shuo looked through his sewing basket, examining the animal sinews, teeth, and beads. These things made a rather feminine look.

She turned her attention to the animal hides, selecting three colors: black, red, and gold, with good hardness and elasticity. She then took them to the cave and used an eyebrow razor to carefully remove the fur from them.

Si Shuo took the scissors and cut the dehaired animal hide into thin strips of similar thickness.

Two hides of the same color are used, and the three colors are woven together in a three-strand braid. The tail is a flat buckle that can be stretched and adjusted.

This bracelet is simple and elegant, and the contrasting colors match his style of dress. It doesn't look feminine, but rather has a cool vibe.

She couldn't resist putting it on her wrist to look at it. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful it seemed. She made a light blue and white one for Zhile, and a white, pink and blue one for herself.

The females liked her very much and all followed her example.

Bracelet weaving is simple and beautiful. When Professor Si Shuo was female, he wove quite a few, and he could finish one in five or six minutes.

When it was time for lunch, she took the bracelet to the square to sell to a traveling merchant, exchanged it for some trinkets, and then slipped the bracelet to Ji Liang.

Ji Liang couldn't help but grasp her hand. "Xiao Si Shuo, am I really that shameful? Did you specially make this bracelet for me?"

"You have so much that you've sold it all..."

His hands were cool and dry, and Si Shuo couldn't resist picking them up and pressing them against his face.

Si Shuo was speechless at his words. How could he be so rude? Just because the bracelet was pretty, he couldn't resist weaving so many, giving him another reason to push his luck!

"So what do you want?" Unable to free his hand, Si Shuo was a little anxious and afraid that the other beastmen would see him, so he asked in a low voice.

Ji Liang slowly played with her hand; the little female's hand was so soft and smooth, he wanted to take a bite...

Ji Liang: Hiss, I'm a snake-beastman, I'm a master at taking advantage of situations...
