Ch 5: System Binding Gift Pack
After Si Shuo sat firmly, Zhi Le stood up and with a few leaps, he had already jumped out of the tribe, passed through the canyon and went west along the Shenmu River.
Unlike the modern cities with tall buildings and heavy traffic, this place has beautiful mountains and rivers, singing birds and dancing butterflies. The weather is clear and everything is thriving, making people forget all their troubles and pain.
The Snow Leopard ran extremely fast, and the surrounding scenery was blurred. Si Shuo clung to his back, feeling a sense of security in her heart.
Before long, they came to a crystal-clear stream. There were many rocks around, making it a good place to take a bath!
After Si Shuo came down, Zhi Le directly transformed into Humanoid, not giving Si Shuo time to turn around and avoid him. Fortunately, he still had some beast skin on his body to act as clothes, so he wouldn’t be naked.
“Find a shallow water area to take a bath, I’ll be nearby. Call me if you need anything,” he pinched her hair with two fingers, his disgusted expression not at all concealed, “Scrub your fur properly!”
Si Shuo puffed out her cheeks and snorted. Holding her clothes in one hand and the crystals in the other, she looked for a place to bathe.
She originally thought she would have to take a cold bath, but the stream water flowed down from the mountain hot springs, still carrying some warmth and emitting wisps of water vapor.
Her eyebrows relaxed, and as her whole body was immersed in the warm water, she finally had time to continue studying the system.
It seemed that when she first opened her eyes, she heard about a binding gift pack!
Si Shuo silently recited “open,” and as a result, three blank spaces appeared in her mind. The system’s voice sounded:
“In order to better serve the Host, this gift pack is divided into three aspects: Host, Companion, and Having Cubs. Please think carefully, this is a one-time offer!”
Si Shuo’s eyes lit up slightly and she quickly thought of the content: “I want to have powerful abilities, a space with shared growth with my companion through the beast mark, and for the cubs, let’s follow the cat’s fate and have nine lives.”
After a moment of silence, the system dinged: Three lucky draws have been selected for the Host.
Si Shuo couldn’t help but rub her hands together, worshiping all the gods and Buddhas one by one. She closed her eyes and decisively spun out all three rewards at once.
The system continuously popped up three messages: Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Wood Affinity containing vitality! This ability has excellent healing capabilities, and can bring the dead back to life as the level increases! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a shared growth space! The space is one cubic meter, and can only store items and freeze time for the time being! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a nine-lived cat fate that can be inherited by descendants!
Si Shuo’s round almond-shaped cat eyes widened even more. Holding her breath, she couldn’t help but ask: “System, what does ‘nine-lived cat fate that can be inherited by descendants’ mean? Does it mean I also have nine lives?”
System: Yes, only if the Host has enough lives can the descendants inherit them.
This explanation is acceptable!
She closed her eyes and carefully felt her body, but there was nothing different? “System, where are my abilities?”
System: The abilities obtained by the Host will be activated under specific circumstances. It is a type of rare Holy Lady ability.
As long as she can obtain abilities, sooner or later isn’t the key issue. Si Shuo began to check the space.
She opened her eyes and saw the Little Fish gnawing on her fingertip. With a thought, the fish disappeared into thin air. In her internally visible space, the fish was lying flat and motionless.
Si Shuo moved her mind again, and the Little Fish appeared in its original position, but the fish was floating on the water with its belly up, obviously dead!
After playing with storing and retrieving items for a while, her body had soaked enough. Rubbing off the dirt on her head and body, Si Shuo comfortably wiped off the water and changed into new clothes.
Zhi Le heard her footsteps and turned his head to look.
Si Shuo had her wet white hair draped over her shoulders, revealing her exquisite and beautiful appearance. Her dark eyebrows, blue eyes, and pink lips were all bold strokes of color on her fair face.
Dressed in a fiery red beast skin, it made her look even more delicate and beautiful!
He took the beast skin from her hand and roughly wiped her hair. When it was almost dry, he led her to the campfire and stuffed a fragrant grilled fish into her hands.
Si Shuo sat on a stone covered with beast skin, holding the fish in one hand and sending the meat from it to her mouth with the other.
◈◈◈
The two-jin fish was cleaned very thoroughly, the skin on it was also scraped off, and a layer of coarse salt was sprinkled on it. The fish meat was salty, fragrant, and chewy. What’s more, she was a cat beastman and was very hungry. At this moment, she narrowed her eyes, buried her head and ate heartily, and couldn’t help but make purring sounds in her throat.
After she was full, she couldn’t help but lick her fingers, and after a long while, she was stunned and embarrassedly put down her hand.
At this time, Zhi Le handed over a pile of purple wild strawberries held in a large tree leaf.
Si Shuo took a full embrace. It couldn’t be five or six jins, right? Her Home Male was too honest.
She took one and stuffed it into her mouth. It was sweet, refreshing, and the juice burst in her mouth!
Fine shards of joy sparkled in her azure blue eyes. She picked up another one and stuffed it into Zhi Le’s mouth.
Zhi Le opened his mouth blankly and took it. His lips, touched by her, were faintly numb. He chewed expressionlessly. After one was swallowed, another one followed.
Before long, a leaf full of wild strawberries was wiped out, of which one-third was smuggled into the space by Si Shuo!
When they went back, Zhi Le packed five cooked grilled fish and twenty cleaned raw fish.
When they got home, Si Shuo was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Zhi Le squatted aside, looking at her defenseless sleeping face, still holding the crystal core tightly and not letting go. He felt both annoyed and a little indescribably satisfied.
He looked at the small and empty cave, frowned and thought for a while, then walked out and jumped down…
“Si Shuo!” Hearing Yun Jiao’s voice in her sleep, Si Shuo hadn’t even opened her eyes yet, but first put the crystal core in her arms into the space.
Sure enough, before long, Yun Jiao walked in directly, pushed her awake, and began to show off in various ways.
Si Shuo’s mind was still in a blank state, but Yun Jiao thought she had been hit hard, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but rise: “Si Shuo, cheer up. Your union with Zhi Le is just a temporary measure.
Now that you have a Beast Husband, you don’t have to go to the Female Cave. Females are precious, so what if you can’t have Cubs? There are plenty of males who want you.
It seems that after the tribe holds the Spring Hunt, it will organize a group of females to go to Nanye City to select powerful males to form companionships.
When the time comes, we can go there together. It’s far away from here, and no one knows your situation. Maybe you can have a few more powerful Beast Husbands and easily get through this year’s rainy season and cold season…”
The Original Owner’s memories of the rainy season and cold season were too deep. Each time, she barely survived, leaving only a breath. This time, the Original Owner didn’t survive and went to see the Beast God, leaving Si Shuo with a body of skin and bones!
Si Shuo has space. As long as she figures out the space upgrade rules and works diligently with Zhi Le on weekdays to hoard more food, beast skins, and wood, she won’t be afraid of the rainy season and cold season, right?
Compared to the climate problem, Yun Jiao and her three pretty good Beast Husbands are the biggest hidden danger, right?
She imitated the Original Owner’s appearance, tilted her head and smiled shallowly, “Sister Yun Jiao is right.”
Yun Jiao looked at her clean and refreshed appearance, “I heard Liwa say that Zhi Le is on the Spring Hunt list. With his current strength, I’m afraid he’s in danger…”
