Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 8 I'll Give You the Beast Mark

Zhile smiled and waved his hand, then leaned closer to them and whispered, "It's really not easy to hunt piglets by brute force alone. You have to kill the piglet to get the piglets."

But we have a way to make it easy, so are you in or not?

Cui Tai and Ke Biao exchanged a glance and nodded vigorously: "Alright, you dare to fight even a level three orc, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"Yes, if we don't agree, you'll either bring others on board or go it alone. We're all brothers who grew up together; we can't just stand by and watch you take risks..."

Zhile felt a warmth in his heart and patted them on the shoulder: "Thanks, I'll have to trouble your other brothers in the family to help take care of the piglets later."

Si Shuo was sitting quite close, so he naturally heard what they said. He was both touched and worried, and couldn't help but rub his head against his arm.

Zhile turned around and patted her head. Seeing her look up, he chuckled and said, "Hungry? It'll be ready in a bit."

Si Shuo's eyes crinkled into a smile as he pointed to his chest: "Smelling the roasted meat from Zhile, I feel so full here!"

The little female must have suffered terribly before. At least he could rely on brute force to avoid starvation. She probably rarely had a full meal, right?

"Your belly will be full soon," he pinched her cheek, "and your face will be round too. You could carve a cave into your face right now."

Si Shuo bared his teeth fiercely at him, "You're bullying the cat!"

The meat was grilled in no time. Meat that's eight-tenths cooked is the most fragrant and tender. Zhile gave Sishuo a small portion.

Si Shuo glanced at the seven or eight pounds of meat on the stick, blinked, and without saying that he couldn't finish it, he picked up the meat, turned around, and avoided everyone's gaze, burying his head in eating.

Zhile ignored her and only told her to ask him for more if she needed more.

The freshly grilled meat was glistening with oil and smelled wonderful; even the slight fishy smell could be ignored. She took a big bite, displaying the swagger of someone showing off a steak.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she took a bite and tore a piece into her spatial storage. There were many large leaves she had collected and washed in her storage space, perfect for storing roasted meat; she could simply take them out and eat them when she got hungry later.

She was actually full after eating only half a pound of the meat. She stuffed two and a half pounds into her storage space, and gave the rest to Zhile.

Zhile didn't eat it; he wrapped it in leaves. "I'll cut some up for you to make soup this morning, and you can take the rest with you when you're gathering."

Si Shuo pointed at him, "And you?"

The piece of roasted meat in Zhile weighed about ten pounds, and he actually finished it all in one meal!

Si Shuo discovered that the orcs could not be defined by the eating habits of modern people. Zhi Le ate relatively little; some orcs could eat a whole lamb.

"I went hunting early this morning, so I'll have some jerky to keep me awake. Besides, I won't go hungry while I'm hunting, so just take care of yourself."

Si Shuo pursed her lips, wanting to get up early to make him something to eat, but she neither knew how to start a fire nor had any sense of time. She was willing but unable to do so, and could only try again later.

Zhile escorted her back to the cave, then went out again. When he returned, he was carrying two wooden buckets filled with water and covered with lids. The buckets were made from dried, thick, and dense tree trunks of a specific type, with the core removed and the outer bark peeled and polished.

He also had a string of bamboo tubes slung over his back.

Si Shuo loves bamboo tubes so much; they're so convenient for holding water and food!

The night was chilly, so after washing up, Zhile hung a thick fur coat at the bedroom door to block the wind, and also hung a circle of animal skins on the wall next to the bed.

The room was completely dark, and all the noise and bustle subsided into silence. What followed was the sound of deep and shallow gasps and cries of pain and pleasure coming from the caves to the left, right, and below!

Si Shuo is practically a gecko; he wishes he could stick to the wall.

After lying down for a while, Zhile leaned in and hugged her tightly from behind, burying his face in her neck. "Don't be afraid, little kitten. Let's become partners. I'll give you the beast mark. If you're healthier, I'll feel more at ease about your gathering tomorrow."

Si Shuo, who was originally nervous and feverish, felt a sense of helplessness and sorrow about reality upon hearing this.

In her view, romantic relationships should naturally develop after deep affection, and she could sense that Zhile liked her.

He wanted her to be well, but he didn't have time for them to develop their relationship gradually.

The original owner's body was too weak. Even with the system's enhancement, Si Shuo was still skin and bones.

Si Shuo has faced life-or-death situations countless times. Every time she thought she wouldn't make it to tomorrow, she would open her eyes and pull through.

Therefore, she never wasted time on pointless agonizing over things. Since the two of them were bound to become a couple anyway, she might as well teach this young man and suffer less herself.

She turned around, gently stroking his face, kissing his chin, touching the corner of his lips, and hearing his usually cool breath become disordered. She whispered softly in his ear, "Brother Zhile, please be gentle, Si Shuo is afraid of pain..."

After a night of passionate lovemaking, Si Shuo was dragged out of bed by Zhile.

She kept her eyes closed and wrapped her arms around his waist, acting spoiled.

Who can resist a soft and cuddly cat?

Zhile couldn't help but kiss her, his hand gently stroking the soft flesh of her waist, and he coaxed her softly in a low voice, "If you don't want to go out, just stay home and rest. I've made some meat soup in the pot, you can drink it when you get up later."

Si Shuo is in high spirits. Last night, in her passion, her disguise was exposed, her hearing impairment was resolved, and after the two became a couple, Zhi Le gained the right to share space.

The space has doubled in size, now measuring two cubic meters. However, one cubic meter is for Si Shuo's exclusive use, while the other cubic meter is shared by them.

This not only ensured Si Shuo's privacy but also gave Zhi Le another means of survival.

Right now, there's leftover barbecue from last night in the shared space. Zhi Le reheated it while making meat broth.

"We're going. Everything I gathered before was handed over. Now, if I go out to gather anything, besides half going to the tribe, the rest is ours!"

Moreover, I can secretly hide some of it, and I don't necessarily have to hand over half of it, which gives me the motivation to work.

"Zhi Le, I'll just have two bowls of meat soup. Put the rest in a bamboo tube and store it in your spatial storage. Drink some whenever you're hungry or thirsty while hunting."

Zhile hugged her tightly and sighed sullenly, "Suddenly I don't want to go hunting anymore."

Si Shuo smiled, pursing his lips, "Then we won't go. Didn't they say that males who have formed mates can rest for three days?"

"Others have several animal husbands to help them share the burden, but our little kitten only has me for now. If I don't work hard, when I go on the spring hunt, you'll just be watching others eat meat," Zhile said with a smile, giving her a bite. "I've already spoken to the guards who escort the females to gather, so just call them if you need anything."

Si Shuo also took a bite of him and mumbled, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid of not being able to protect my kittens," Zhile took a deep breath, put her down, and stood up. If he lingered any longer, he wouldn't be able to leave the house. "When I get back, remember not to let anyone bully you!"

Si Shuo nodded and supervised him as he filled several bamboo tubes with meat soup. He then gave him a few more instructions before letting him go.

Since the space could preserve food, Si Shuo stored all the fish she caught yesterday into the shared space. She moved several level-six crystal cores from her own space to the shared space as a precaution for Zhi Le.
