Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 83 Are you on guard against me?

The beastmen were quite skilled; even in the midst of the beast tide, they only suffered minor wounds, which were almost completely healed before she could even begin to treat them.

With her healing abilities being somewhat extraordinary, Si Shuo naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to expose herself just to enhance her powers. In addition, with her ability to replicate and the resurrection pills rewarded by the system, she became even more complacent.

Ji Liang said calmly, "The markets north of Dongye Forest are a mixed bag. At their auctions, as long as you can afford the crystals, you can buy anything you want, including beastmen!"

Si Shuo gasped. "Ji Liang, you mean orcs?"

Despite her surprise, she quickly adjusted her mindset. In Chinese history, the first class society that primitive society entered was the slave society.

Conditions in the southern continent are relatively harsh, and people live in tribes, but the orcs in the central continent live more in families.

In addition, farming and weaving civilizations require a lot of labor. People who were freed from the constraints of hunting and gathering began to hire people to do chores such as washing and cleaning.

"Yes," Ji Liang said, but it was different from what she thought. "Among the beastmen there, there are female slaves with low fertility and male slaves with high combat power but who are temporarily suppressed."

The former is for males to relieve themselves, while the latter is prepared for females who are strong in their families but have poor fertility.

Si Shuo poked Ji Liang's head. "Ji Liang, you mean, let's go look for some bargains?"

Ji Liang chuckled and said, "Yes, it's about finding a bargain!"

This place is very close to the Winter Forest, and the stall owners who can set up stalls in this market are all quite powerful, and they themselves are also quite strong in combat.

Families accustomed to a comfortable life in the Central Plains rarely come here.

These male slaves for sale may very well have been abducted from their families or tribes.

For some reason, Si Shuo suddenly thought of the game of Animal Chess. The elephant is the most powerful piece, with a strong physique, and can take down all the pieces on the board. However, it is restrained by the little mouse, which can be swallowed by all other pieces.

Just like a vulnerable female, relying on the male's mark to hold her tightly!

She couldn't help but hug Ji Liang's snake head. "Ji Liang, wasn't it very dangerous when you were a traveling merchant carrying the beast mark?"

Ji Liang chuckled and nodded with a hiss: "That's right, but back then my combat strength level wasn't good enough in the Central Continent, but some females would still try to take me as their child husband."

In addition, I wanted to accumulate more wealth for my future little female, and I also wanted to find you sooner, so I formed my own itinerant merchant team and made a name for myself.

Si Shuo nuzzled against him and sighed, "I thought lone females would be in danger, picked up by males with ill intentions. Turns out even powerful males bearing the mark of the beast aren't safe?"

"Well, in our Southern Continent, the greatest dangers come from the ferocious beasts around us, as well as whether we have enough food and heating supplies for the long rainy and cold seasons."

But the greatest danger to the Central Plains lies in the hearts of the orcs!

Especially when families and tribes are vying for power and interests, they use all sorts of tricks that are impossible to guard against.

These female and male slaves were probably some of those who were tricked in this way.

Si Shuo glanced at Xiao Shisi, who was dozing off on Zhi Le's body; he was a perfect example.

For a moment, Si Shuo was unsure whether coming to the Central Continent with the beastmen was the right or wrong decision. Seeing the little female above him fall silent, Ji Liang chuckled, "What's wrong, little Shuo Shuo? Are you scared?"

There are dark places everywhere. As long as we pay attention, don't fall into other people's traps, and don't provoke trouble, nothing serious will happen.

If we had stayed in the Southern Continent, our strength would probably have been at most level twelve or thirteen.

The situation in mainland China is complex, but if we can establish a firm foothold, Xiao Shuo Shuo can live a more comfortable life, and the rest of us can further increase our strength.

Si Shuo smiled and shook his head: "With you all here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ji Liang shook his head, his golden eyes narrowing slightly: "Hiss, it's our honor to be Xiao Shuo Shuo's source of confidence."

As they were about to leave the Winterye Forest, the beastmen were even more unwilling to stop, and instead ran even faster than before. They were truly running in one breath, and before dawn, they had already left the sparse forest and seen the vast grassland.

As far as the eye could see, there was a patch of animal hides, which was what they called Dongye Zhongfang!

After spending more than a month in the dappled sunlight in the forest, Si Shuo suddenly felt his mind and heart expand and become more relaxed, and he couldn't help but shout a few times.

However, some beastmen who had transformed into beast forms did indeed howl excitedly, and their cubs chirped softly in response.

By the time everyone had calmed down, they had already arrived outside the market.

Si Shuo transferred from Ji Liang's head to Zhi Le's back and continued to snuggle in Xiao Shisi's arms.

Although the market is only open seasonally and for about half a month, it is surrounded by a large stone wall formed by earth-type ability users. It is reinforced, heightened and expanded every year, and its scale is comparable to that of Puchang City!

Si Shuo was slightly surprised, and the other orcs who were here for the first time couldn't hide it either.

Who would have thought that a mere temporary market outside the forest could rival the second largest beast city in the Southern Continent?

Seeing their ignorant and uncultured appearance, the orcs who had frequented the market for years were used to it, but they all sneered with disdain, "Oh, was there a disaster in the south this year? Quite a few orcs have come with their families!"

"It seems like any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come to the Central Continent. Do they really think they can live a peaceful life there after surviving the Winterye Forest? Ha, wishful thinking!"

"That's not necessarily true. The women who come are all fertile. They can easily gather a few strong males to hunt in the forest, help with hauling goods and farming, and make a living. They're eager to be laborers, and they're all too weak to do anything but bend over... We can't control that..."

The orcs of the Eastern Continent caravan were already used to it, and they headed towards their encampment without changing their expressions.

The beastmen who followed turned red-faced, barely able to lift their heads, wishing they could turn around and leave, without even a trace of their usual desire to fight back.

An unprecedented sense of inferiority overwhelmed them like a sudden wave.

Si Shuo didn't seem to feel that way; instead, she looked on curiously. Ji Liang and the others stood closely beside her, protecting her.

The Southern Continent and the Central Continent were indeed very different. When she arrived here, she had the illusion that she had finally escaped the wilderness.

The stalls were filled with pottery jars of all sizes and shapes, cotton and linen cloth, and even ready-made clothes, as well as animal hides, crystals, and ornaments, all of good quality and plentiful.

Not only that, there are also many vendors selling seeds, pills, eggs, dairy products, and poultry and livestock!

Xiao Shisi glanced at Ji Liang, then pulled Si Shuo close to her ear and asked with a smile, "Sister, what did Brother Ji Liang say to you just now? Why did he activate his protective shield, as if to keep an eye on me?"
