Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 32 is another instance of reciprocating a favor?

The Fengchuan tribe is located by the lake. In the early morning, the males have already gathered to go hunting, while the females also carry baskets and gather together.

Si Shuo slept until he naturally woke up again, and habitually touched his wrist.

She didn't see Xu Chi, but there was a wooden bucket full of water and a soft, clean animal hide at the entrance of the shack.

After Si Shuo finished washing up, he came out of the shack and saw Xu Chi sitting in front of the campfire roasting a bamboo rat.

She walked over lightly and sat down next to him.

Xu Chi smelled the warm fragrance emanating from her body and silently moved to the side.

Si Shuo...

The bamboo rat's belly was stuffed with a lot of fungi, wild vegetables and fruits, and brushed with honey. It was delicious, but Si Shuo couldn't get used to eating meat as her staple food. Even if her stomach was full, she felt like she was missing a bite if she didn't eat some steamed buns or rice.

While digesting his meal around the lake, Si Shuo couldn't help but ask the few little beastmen who were wandering around him.

Are there any fish, shrimp, or crabs in this lake?

The little animals nodded in agreement: "Yes, but fish are too clever and hard to catch. They also have many fine bones that can easily get stuck in your throat, and they taste fishy."

"The beastmen like waterfowl and occasionally come to catch them."

Si Shuo blinked. "So, you live around the lake, but you haven't really caught any fish?"

The little beastmen continued to nod. "Si Shuo is a cat beastman. You like to eat fish, right? We don't like to eat them."

This has nothing to do with race. In her previous life, she wasn't a cat, but she still loved eating all kinds of river and seafood.

Actually, many people don't dislike eating it, but rather they find it troublesome and dislike the fishy smell.

Xu Chi asked, "Does Si Shuo want to eat? I'll go catch some for you."

Si Shuo has shrimp traps in her space, but it's not convenient to take them out while guarding the big ones, so she plans to weave a simple one from vines.

Hearing Xu Chi's words, Si Shuo asked curiously, "How do you plan to capture it?"

Xu Chi snapped his fingers, and a whirlwind appeared in the lake. As the wind spun, the lake water and the freshwater creatures in it were sucked onto the shore.

After the whirlwind disappeared, water, fish, shrimp, and crabs all splashed onto the lawn by the lake.

The little animals all let out a "Wow!" and ran over happily to pick up shrimp and crabs to play with.

Si Shuo couldn't help but give Chong Xuchi a thumbs up. This male general has really figured out how to play the wind!

Moreover, he snapped his fingers...

Seeing this, Xu Chi snapped his fingers again, but this time the whirlwind swam back and forth in the lake twice, and when it returned to the shore, it was carrying a dark mass of fish, shrimp and crabs.

Si Shuo was filled with envy. This skill was absolutely amazing; it perfectly recreated some news stories from her past life about fish, shrimp, and crabs falling from the sky during storms.

The commotion from the tornado attracted the playful orcs and females who hadn't gone out.

Si Shuo couldn't help but roll up her sleeves. If she remembered correctly, she saw potatoes among the supplies collected in the tribe last night.

Starch can be extracted from potatoes!

Everyone helped them collect fish, shrimp, crabs, and even river delicacies such as loach, eel, water snake, and turtle into the wicker baskets.

Si Shuo asked a middle-aged woman if he could exchange some river delicacies for some ground eggs.

The female smiled and waved her hand, "Si Shuo is a guest from afar, no need to exchange, you can take as many as you want. We can also gather more; there aren't many other good things here, but earthworms are everywhere!"

After saying that, she called over her few little beastmen to carry a basket of eggs for Si Shuo.

Si Shuo chuckled and did not refuse. He instructed Xu Chi to wash, peel, chop, and then put the potatoes into water to stir and press.

Xu Chi continued to use his wind-based abilities to easily and quickly complete the three tasks. Si Shuo explained to the females that he was doing this to obtain the starch from the eggs, which could be preserved for a year after being dried.

However, she plans to make fish balls and shrimp balls, using only the thick liquid from the first pressing of potatoes, filtered and mixed with various river fish and minced meat, salt, minced scallions, ginger, garlic and pepper. These seasonings can all be found in plant guides.

Stir well, then add the egg mixture, stir well again, and then find an orc with ice-type abilities to help freeze and solidify it.

Minced meat is shaped into appropriately sized balls, which are then made into handmade river fish balls.

Whether you pan-fry, deep-fry, bake, or make soup, these meatballs taste great, have a chewy texture, and are rich in nutrients!

Sipping the delicious meatball and wild vegetable soup, everyone was quite intrigued. The river delicacies not only lost their original fishy smell, but were also so salty and delicious that they almost wanted to swallow their tongues. They truly lived up to the name "river delicacies".

With another source of food added, the beastmen in the tribe were particularly happy. This meant that the males would have less pressure to go out hunting, and some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled beastmen could also fill their stomachs.

It can be said that by stockpiling these meatballs when the weather gets cold, they can save the lives of many members of their tribe, which is of great significance.

Their way of expressing their gratitude was particularly straightforward. They presented Si Shuo with what they considered to be the best things in their homes, such as eggs, meat, fur, and crystals.

Si Shuo couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. The man put down his things and turned to leave, leaving her feeling both amused and exasperated, as if she had come here specifically to make money off him.

"Take it, I'll help them catch more river delicacies," Xu Chi patted her head.

Si Shuo turned to look at him, chuckling as he asked, "Is this another instance of returning the favor?"

Xu Chi nodded honestly. His eyes remained cold and expressionless, devoid of any emotion, yet his gaze was fixed on her.

Si Shuo couldn't help but beckon him with her finger.

Xu Chi took a step forward in confusion, but upon catching a whiff of fragrance and seeing her smiling, delicate appearance, a strange longing rose within him once more.

His expression changed abruptly, and he took a large step back. "Si Shuo, just say what you have to say. I can hear you clearly standing here."

Si Shuo was so angry he laughed. Was he some kind of monster? Why was he so scared that his face turned pale?

She said, word by word, "I have nothing to say!"

Xu Chi hesitated for a moment, then took a small step toward her. He saw that Si Shuo was still raising his chin slightly, bracing himself to come closer, looking like he was about to run away at any moment if things went wrong.

Si Shuo's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly leaned forward, startling him so much that he jumped back three or five meters...

She was both amused and exasperated. "Xu Chi, you need to explain yourself clearly. What's wrong with you? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Xu Chi pursed his lips. "I'm afraid I'll eat you up myself."

Si Shuo was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red. "This, this is daytime, what are you thinking?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Chi asked solemnly. "There are examples of females eating males among the Zerg."

Si Shuo couldn't help but frown slightly. Zerg? Xu Chi is a Zerg?

So, what kind of insectoid race has wings and horns, and is it the color of flax?

"Are you a giant fluttering moth?" Her face paled; this really wouldn't do!

Zerg won't work, and Fluttering Moths won't work either!

It turns out that when choosing a beast husband in the Beast World, you can't just look at their appearance; you also have to consider their beast form.

Red mustache...

"No, I can't control my urge to get close to you. I have an urge to devour you," he said, a faint look of frustration on his face.
