Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 11

Ch 11: Unexpected Joy

Zhile didn’t ask many questions and directly followed Si Shuo’s instructions. He collected some snails in the stream that looked similar to walnuts and put them in the shrimp trap. Then, he placed the shrimp trap where the stream flowed into the Shenmu River.

Si Shuo completed two and a half hours of daily gathering tasks today, earning sixty-three beast coins.

She bought a bottle of amino acid shampoo for hair nourishment and a bottle of peach-scented body wash with a light fragrance and moisturizing effect, successfully achieving a balance between income and expenses!

After a refreshing shower, she felt completely refreshed.

When Si Shuo came out dressed, Zhile pulled her into his arms. The little female smelled so fragrant all over, he couldn’t help but hold her and nibble on her for a while.

If he wasn’t afraid of her catching a cold, he would have wanted more!

Only then did Zhile stuff a roasted fish into Si Shuo’s hands, who was blushing furiously. He wiped her hair with a beast hide, asking about her gathering and also telling her about leading people to dig traps to catch tusked boar cubs.

They both quite enjoyed sharing with each other.

After Si Shuo finished eating two fish, the two of them packed up their things and went to retrieve the shrimp trap.

In less than an hour, the originally empty shrimp trap was already filled with a dense mass of large shrimp and crabs, and even some water snakes and fish!

Si Shuo happily circled around Zhile, various recipes for cooking river delicacies already appearing in her mind. She vividly embodied the term “greedy cat.”

Zhile’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He shook his head with a smile and pulled out the heavy shrimp trap.

He poured the river delicacies onto the leaves. Before they could crawl away, Si Shuo gathered them into her space.

One shrimp trap contained over forty catties of river delicacies!

Not only that, the system also prompted a deposit of twenty beast coins. In other words, the time spent setting the shrimp trap was also a form of gathering, a truly unexpected joy.

Tusked boars have tough skin and a layer of stiff bristles, making ordinary attacks less effective against them. Tusked boars are also very strong, and their tusks can easily pierce a beastman’s body. They always move in groups and are particularly vengeful, relentlessly pursuing those who harm them.

Beastmen generally avoided encountering tusked boar herds!

Zhile and his six men, however, managed to disperse the herd, killing three adult boars weighing over five hundred kilograms and capturing seven piglets alive.

Zhile received one hundred and thirty kilograms of pork and one piglet.

Everyone was discussing this matter in the evening, and many males came over wanting to learn some tips.

Cui Tai and Ke Biao laughed and scolded, driving them away. Could such skills be widely publicized? Moreover, they were counting on this method to continue catching piglets in the coming days.

Everyone wasn’t annoyed, and enthusiastically held up torches to look at the piglets, laughing loudly as they listened to them squeal in fright.

Back in the cave, Zhile kept one-tenth of the pork, salted it, and hung it in the outer room. The rest of the pork was stored in the space.

“Zhile, we have space now, we can eat fresh meat anytime. You don’t have to take such great risks to capture piglets alive,” Si Shuo said, looking at the scratches on his body and feeling distressed as she applied crushed herbs.

While she was pressing it on, she activated her Level 1 Spring Breeze Healing. A faint glow emanated from her palm.

Zhile clearly felt a gentle energy.

He looked down, his expression instantly changing. He grabbed her wrist and urgently asked in a silent voice, “Kitten, how do you have an ability?

As far as I know, only Holy Ladies blessed by the Beast God possess an ability.

Does anyone else know about this skill of yours?”

Si Shuo shook her head and whispered in his ear, “No, this is the first time I’ve used it. I didn’t know I had an ability before.”

Zhile’s expression was complex as he stroked her face, pressing his forehead against hers. “Kitten, I wish you didn’t have an ability, that you weren’t so alluring. That way, I could selfishly keep you to myself for a while longer.”

Si Shuo wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, which had become erratic because of her. “But, Si Shuo also wants to protect Zhile. Having an ability might not be a bad thing. As long as I use it carefully and no one knows, it might even be a way for me to protect myself.”

Zhile’s heart felt a bit sore and swollen. He picked her up horizontally and carried her to the inner room. “Tomorrow, I won’t go hunting. I’ll guard you while you gather. I can help you process the river delicacies and weave some wicker baskets for storage.”

He spoke in a serious tone, but his hands had already begun to savor the appetizer…

◈◈◈

Another night of unrestrained pleasure!

Si Shuo could no longer look at the activity of sleeping at night in the same way.

The variety of plants on the mountain was much richer than in the shrubbery. Wild fruits, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and seasonings – Si Shuo found a little surprise with almost every step she took.

Zhile followed her closely, weaving wicker baskets with his hands. His beast hide bag was filled with stones. When he encountered passing hares or birds, he would throw a stone, and he even dug up a few burrows of bamboo rats!

Si Shuo felt that Zhile alone could take very good care of her.

The two cubic meters of space were completely insufficient, so Si Shuo spent one day gathering and the next day processing the gathered items.

For example, making preserved fruits, jam, dried meat, meat floss, fish balls, shrimp balls, crab sticks, seasoning powder, and processing medicinal herbs.

The wages for preliminary processing were even five beast coins higher per hour than for gathering. She was busy, fulfilled, and effective.

Every time Zhile returned from hunting, she would treat him, reducing his pain and also improving her skill proficiency.

When she had some ability left over, Si Shuo would treat the scars on his face and repair the cracks in his dantian.

When she had used up all her ability, Zhile would feed her a Level Six crystal!

After half a month, the scars on Zhile’s face had indeed faded a bit, and the three red beast marks on his neck became more solid, showing signs of breaking through to Level Four. Her ability reserves also doubled, allowing her to sustain treatment for a longer time, with a proficiency level reaching 50.

Of course, whenever she had time, she would ponder over the Germination Art. The Germination Art had no combat value; it only shortened the growth period of plants to a certain extent, and its proficiency increased very slowly, barely reaching 5. It was particularly useless!

Zhile installed a wooden door for the home, but this wooden door was completely ineffective against beastmen, completely preventing gentlemen but not villains.

The home was also filled with many new items, fully stocked. The young couple had the appearance of settling down.

Soon, the tribe’s spring hunt arrived. Zhile’s mouth didn’t stop all morning:

“Kitten, the food stored at home is enough for you to eat for a month.

Half of the males in the tribe are participating in the spring hunt, so there will be fewer people guarding the gathering teams. Many rogue beasts are waiting for such an opportunity.

If you want anything, wait for me to come back and I’ll accompany you to gather. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t leave the tribe…”

Si Shuo listened attentively and nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Zhile looked at the little female he had been feeding for half a month. Her face finally had some flesh, and she no longer looked as timid and pitiful as she did at the beginning.

He felt a lump in his throat and spoke with difficulty:

“In case, if something happens in the tribe, or if I, if I don’t come back, Kitten, remember to find yourself a powerful beast husband…”

Si Shuo was so angry that she pulled down his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and sealed his words with a kiss, biting his lip fiercely. “Zhile, you must come back.

You know, I’m not like other females with low fertility.

I’m a naturally mutated cat beastman. Besides you, no one in the nearby tribes would dare to want me.

Do you want me to go to the Female Cave, or be bullied by rogue beastmen?

You have to live to protect me. Just do it for me, okay?”

By the end, she was almost crying, which pained Zhile and made him deepen the kiss.

“Okay, I will definitely come back! I have a tough life, the Beast God won’t take me.”
