Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 27 They Want to Catch Me and Grill Meat

In his previous life, Si Shuo studied things that were quiet, cultivated his character, and helped pass the time.

She is not particularly talented in painting; she can paint with precision, but she lacks the agility and expressiveness that are valued in the industry.

She was trapped in a small world, and what she heard and saw was what others said, what was written in books, and what was broadcast on television. Without experiencing things firsthand, how broad could her mind be, and how expansive could her thinking be?

However, with this skill she now possesses, it is enough to transmit messages to Jile.

Si Shuo held the eyebrow pencil and thought for a moment, then drew the following pictures after Zhi Le left: one was her daily life, one was Ji Liang's arrival, one was the arrival of the stray beast and her being kidnapped, and the last one was her escape and encounter with Xu Chi.

Finally, she drew a smiley face and stroked the beast mark, indicating that she was waiting for his arrival.

Si Shuo tied the drawings together with dry grass and placed them in his spatial dimension.

She gently stroked the beast mark on her wrist...

The snow leopard, which was running through the jungle, suddenly stopped abruptly. Its heart, which had been beating rapidly with anxiety and fear, calmed down.

He took a deep breath, opened the space with hope, and found the stack of drawings.

Zhile lowered his eyes and looked at the pictures very slowly, wishing he could imagine her telling the whole story of each one.

Si Shuo used a simple cartoon style, expressing his meaning vividly and clearly with just a few strokes.

Seeing that she was alright for the time being, Zhile was still worried. He put some fruit into his spatial storage and then transformed into a snow leopard again, running towards the direction where he sensed her.

Not long after Si Shuo put the painting into his spatial storage, Xu Chi returned carrying a long-eared rabbit, a bamboo rat, a spotted chicken, and a half-grown piglet.

He also hauled some firewood!

Xu Chi manually cleared a patch of grass, weeding it clean, and then used the fire-making method of rubbing sticks together to start a fire in a minute or two.

Si Shuo was stunned by the speed and efficiency of it all.

After preparing the prey, Xu Chi placed it on a large leaf and silently roasted it one by one.

After roasting the rabbit, he tore off a hind leg and handed it to her.

Si Shuo hurriedly took it, but the freshly grilled meat was too hot to handle, so she couldn't help but throw it away.

After Xu Chi took the meat, he placed it on the leaves and saw that several blisters immediately appeared on her fair hands. He pursed his lips, pulled her to the riverbank, and pressed her hands into the water.

The cool water dispelled the burning sensation in his fingertips, and Si Shuo let out a soft breath.

"I'm sorry," he said, his eyes slightly lowered.

"It's alright, I was just a little impatient and forgot that the freshly grilled meat was too hot," Si Shuo said with a smile, shaking his head. Seeing that Xu Chi was still holding his hand, he said helplessly, "Xu Chi, you can let go now, I can soak it myself."

Xu Chi nodded, released his grip, and continued grilling the meat.

Si Shuo slightly channeled her supernatural power into her fingertips, and in just ten or twenty seconds, the blisters on her fingertips disappeared, and the pain was gone.

However, she pretended to soak it for another five or six minutes before taking it out and shaking it. "Luckily, I soaked it in time, so no blisters formed."

Xu Chi glanced at it and handed over the rabbit leg strung with twigs.

Si Shuo didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking him, he took the bag and started munching on it.

The long-eared rabbit's hind leg meat is firm and chewy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Most importantly, this male is really good at cooking. I don't know what he sprinkled in the campfire, but the roasted meat had no fishy smell at all and had a pleasant grassy and woody fragrance. Moreover, he brushed a layer of honey on the outside.

Who can resist honey-glazed roasted meat?

The long-eared rabbit's hind legs are a bit big, so it's not an exaggeration to say it has to carry the food. She's only eaten about 20% of it.

Xu Chi had a big appetite; he left a leg for Si Shuo from every kind of meat, and finished off the rest himself!

Si Shuo sighed silently again; the males had enormous appetites. No wonder the beastmen had been busy collecting food ever since the snow melted in the winter. After finishing their meal, they went into the forest again and came out carrying some fruit in a leather bag.

Si Shuo was munching on fruit, so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open. His head was bobbing up and down, and he looked like he was about to fall over when a pair of well-defined hands caught him.

She's exhausted her physical strength, energy, and superpowers today, and she's starting to lose control.

Xu Chi watched as she struggled to open her eyes, then squatted down in front of her. "I'll carry you on my back."

Si Shuo's mind was already overloaded, and he wasn't very wary of him. After struggling, he still wrapped his arms around his neck and put himself on his back.

Xu Chi didn't look particularly muscular, but his back still gave her a sense of security that could dispel all danger.

She rested her head on it and fell asleep in no time.

Xu Chi carried her with one hand, tidied up his things with the other, and flew through the forest on his back.

The little female was too thin and frail; he couldn't feel her weight at all when carrying her. Moreover, she was soft and delicate, unlike the hard and rough male.

Well, she didn't smell very good. Ever since he saw her, he hadn't been breathing through his nose; he was breathing entirely through his mouth...

Si Shuo has always had the habit of taking a nap, a routine she has maintained without fail for many years.

However, her lunch break is short, only about an hour.

When she opened her eyes, she thought she was sitting on an electric scooter. The scenery around her rushed past, blowing her hair like Qiao Feng.

Si Shuo subconsciously rubbed her head against the "pillow," and when she felt the "pillow" move, she immediately woke up, and an embarrassed blush flashed across her face.

She looked up at the sun in the sky; it was much lower in the west than before, meaning at least an hour had passed.

"Xu Chi, you're not going to keep carrying me on your back the whole time, are you?" At a speed of thirty miles per hour!

Xu Chi nodded, "The tribe is far away; we need to get there before sunset."

Si Shuo's lips twitched. If he hadn't been carrying her, at her speed, it would have taken her two or three days to walk.

She shamelessly refrained from suggesting that he rest because he was tired, since there was a fundamental difference between her drowsy climb onto his back and lazy climb-on.

At least she's not that shameless!

"Xu Chi, why did your beast form cause trouble?" Si Shuo couldn't help but ask.

She was so curious about what kind of beastman he was. He seemed to have no wildness or instincts, which made her subconsciously think of him as a normal person who was strong, fast, and could eat a lot.

"It's rare; the tribe knows it and wants to capture it."

Why does it remind me of something she was faking before?

The more he said that, the more curious Si Shuo became. What does it mean that curiosity killed the cat?

She is now the real cat.

"Can't you just give us a hint? Like, what color are you?"

"Hair color?" This child's answer was incredibly honest!

Just as Si Shuo continued to uncover the secret, the cry of the crowned beastman rang out in the sky again.

"It's over, Xu Chi, let's hide quickly, that crested eagle beastman is going to catch me and roast me for meat," Si Shuo's expression changed, and he patted Xu Chi's shoulder, "He's a level four beastman, one level higher than you."

Not only is it one level higher, but it's also a higher color tone, which means it's ten times more suppressed!

Xu Chi paused, looked up, and in those few seconds, the crowned eagle beastman had already swooped down...
