Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 80 Sister, Don't Be Afraid (Bonus Chapter for Votes)

She didn't know if it was because Xiao Shisi's disguise was too convincing, or because Si Shuo's excuse was convincing enough, but she felt that the beastmen's expressions were all very subtle.

Si Shuo asked curiously, but they just smiled and shook their heads, saying it was nothing. Could it be that she sensed something wrong?

For dinner, they had stewed meat with cornbread, filled with potatoes, eggplants, and cabbage harvested from their space. She also bought some bean sprouts from the supermarket, served with seaweed and egg drop soup, and a fruit platter for dessert.

The males buried themselves in their food and ate quite a bit. Xiao Shisi, such a delicate beauty, also had an amazing appetite, on par with the males.

Si Shuo, who paid close attention to her, secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. No wonder Xiao Meiren had such a large frame.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Shisi asked apologetically, "Sister, did I eat too much? The food was just too delicious, and I couldn't control myself."

But don't worry, once you've delivered me to the Xiao family, my father and mother will definitely give you a generous reward; you won't be taken advantage of!

Si Shuo smiled and shook his head: "Our family hunted quite a few ferocious beasts during this beast tide. We've pickled and dried them all, which is enough to sustain our family's food supply for half a month on the road."

Knowing that Si Shuo and his group were leaving tomorrow, and knowing that Si Shuo didn't want any reward, many beastmen still walked past their house and threw in high-level crystals as a token of their gratitude.

The crisp sound of the crystal falling to the ground echoed all night. Si Shuo listened to it all night, her face flushed and her eyes filled with tears, until she was too exhausted to bear it any longer. Only then did Xu Chi reveal himself, clean her up, and hold her as they dozed off for a while.

When Si Shuo woke up, they had already reached the outskirts of the Dongye Forest!

Seeing that she was awake, the males in the house stopped and waited for her to wash up and eat.

Zhile cooked some corn and put it in a warm large jar, along with some palm-sized bird eggs, a few strips of cured meat and sesame seed cakes for each person.

Everyone's been eating with Si Shuo lately, and their palates have become quite discerning. They insist on a balanced diet with meat, staple foods, soup, and fruit. Even when they were traveling, they would prepare meals in advance and store them in their spatial storage, ready to eat whenever needed.

Now that their team has gained a member named Xiao Meiren, they can only return to the days of meekly eating dried meat before seeing the little female.

However, the dried meat of today is not the salty, bitter, dry, and hard kind that used to be. It is made through many steps and with a lot of seasonings. It is stored in a special animal skin bag and has a spicy, salty, and fragrant taste. It is rolled in a thin sesame flatbread and eaten with herbal tea, which is enough to make do.

Xiao Meiren ate happily, while Si Shuo loved to gnaw on the sweet and soft corn. However, the males ate expressionlessly, occasionally avoiding Si Shuo's gaze and giving Xiao Shisi an unfriendly look. But the latter was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all!

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhile carried Si Shuo and Xiao Shisi on his back and joined the other males in catching up with the main group.

Gong You only used the Time Law slightly, making it difficult for people to notice. About half a beast hour later, they continued to trail at the back of the line.

As the orc in front turned to look, Xiao Shisi stepped forward and pulled Si Shuo into his arms, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, sister, males and females are sitting together. If I don't hold you, people will easily suspect our relationship. We have to play the part completely, so I'm sorry to trouble you."

Embraced in the arms of the beauty, even though Xiao Meiren had her chest covered, Si Shuo could still feel the difference between a man and a woman. This young lady was so soft!

Her face flushed slightly. "We're both females, so it's okay to hug. Besides, I'm not tired sitting like this."

Xiao Shisi chuckled softly, "What do you usually do when you're traveling, sister?"

Playing games and stimulating the growth and feeding of spirit plants—neither of these can be mentioned. Si Shuo patted the animal skin bag he was carrying: "It's just about eating something, looking at the scenery, and chatting with my beast husbands."

As she spoke, she took out a bag of caramelized melon seeds, grabbed a handful and gave them to Xiao Shisi, then started cracking them open herself.

Xiao Shisi silently looked at the dried fruit, not particularly interested. This was something only rats liked to eat; foxes ate meat and occasionally ate some vegetables to balance it out.

However, seeing that Si Shuo was eating with relish, Xiao Shisi also tried to stand the melon seeds upright in his mouth, crack the shells with his upper and lower teeth, and use his tongue to hook the kernels into his mouth to chew.

The nuts are plump, crunchy, and delicious, with a hint of caramelized sweetness—surprisingly tasty!

"What forest is this? It looks pretty big," Si Shuo said, watching the beastmen run for a long time without seeing the end of the forest. He couldn't help but sigh. When the beast tide came, he hadn't heard that there was such a large forest in the north of the city.

"Hiss, we're on the outskirts of the Dongye Forest," Ji Liang said, turning his head to explain as he kept pace with Zhile.

"Knowing that we were coming to the Winterye Forest, after the beast tide ended, the beastmen who had scouted the location and teleported back to their respective tribes with the crystals and to transport the ferocious beasts."

However, they had all arranged a time with Chief Xu and escorted us to the outskirts of Dongye Forest, shortening the journey by six or seven days and ensuring we arrived on time as planned, without being delayed by the beast tide!

Si Shuo exclaimed in surprise, these beastmen are sometimes so warm and sincere that they are adorable.

The thought of them entering the Winterye Forest, a place feared by orcs, made her lose her previous ease and comfort. She tensed up, and goosebumps rose on her skin as she realized this.

Xiao Shisi smiled and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. Turning his head, he saw her fair neck, so slender and delicate, and her unique fragrance filled his nostrils...

"Don't be afraid, sister. This road is traveled once or twice a year. Along the way, some medicinal powder with a scent that is not easy to dissipate and can deter other ferocious beasts is sprinkled. Moreover, our team is large, and the noise we make is enough to drive away the low-level ferocious beasts around us."

Moreover, there are very few low-level males in the group. If they encounter a high-level ferocious beast, the whole team can easily take it down in a few hits!

Girls are emotionally sensitive. Those who are close to each other can sleep in the same bed, like to hold hands to go to the bathroom, walk arm in arm, and lean on each other's shoulders. No matter how intimate they are, it doesn't seem excessive.

Now she has such girlfriends, but she still doesn't quite feel comfortable with this kind of intimacy.

She and Yimei were practically sworn brothers, but at most they'd link arms. However, both of them had many lovers, so they rarely exchanged a few words before their respective lovers would steal their attention…

Her face flushed uncontrollably. "Yes, I know, I'm just a little nervous, since everyone is wary of this place."

Each member of her family has their own way of protecting themselves, so she's really not afraid. If all else fails, she still has talismans!

Last night she used a long-distance locator, one of which was set to Puchang City, so they could be teleported back in a minute if they encountered danger.

If they arrive safely in the Central Continent, she will set up another location, giving them ten chances to travel back and forth between the Southern and Central Continents!
