Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 14

Ch 14: Is That All Just Verbal Thanks?

Si Shuo just wanted to shout, “Mother!” This cold-blooded animal was truly too much to handle.

She simply blocked her face with both arms, closed her eyes, and shook her head. Anyway, she was deaf; as long as she didn’t open her eyes, she could pretend she couldn’t hear anything and refuse to communicate!

Tao Yun usually followed the merchant band to various large and small tribes around the Dongye Forest. He often encountered unscrupulous rogue beasts and wild animals on the road, resulting in frequent killings, so he had a very strong b*oody and fierce aura.

Yi Mei was frightened by the hint of anger he exuded. She understood that Si Shuo probably really didn’t like this Third in Command.

She grabbed her Beast Husband’s hand with one hand and mustered her courage to say, “Lord Tao Yun, Si Shuo can’t hear you.

She is timid and may not be suitable for you.”

Tao Yun’s face darkened, and his eyes bulged even more. “Whether she’s suitable isn’t for you to decide. Little Si Shuo is just shy.

My combat strength isn’t bad. Why can’t I be her Beast Husband?”

Yi Mei buried her head in Rong Xing’s arms, her body trembling slightly.

“Tao Yun, come back,” Ji Liang said lazily. “You’re the Dark Crow’s Third in Command, not a rogue beast without rules who snatches females upon sight.

The little female is delicate and can’t withstand your brute force.”

Tao Yun turned his head to look, his previous arrogance replaced with a hint of grievance. “Boss, I didn’t do anything.

What’s wrong with me? Why doesn’t Si Shuo want me?”

Ji Liang hissed. This Tao Yun was strong, but he was thick-headed. “Who said females only choose Beast Husbands based on strength?

The Beast God said the two of you are not fated. While your affection isn’t deep, quickly find another female and don’t invest in a fruitless relationship.”

Where were there other females? They weren’t from a tribe and hadn’t seen much of the world. After traveling north and south for so long, he had only met such a lovely person!

“The Beast God really said that?” he asked unwillingly.

Ji Liang nodded, earnestly saying, “Of course. Those blessed by the Beast God can recognize each other at first sight. If only one of you feels it, that’s the Beast God testing you.”

He was spouting nonsense with a straight face, but Tao Yun believed him. He could only dejectedly scratch his head and gently poke Si Shuo.

Si Shuo peeked through her fingers.

Tao Yun was tearful. How could such a good female not be fated with him?

“Si Shuo, don’t be afraid of me. I won’t be your Beast Husband. See if there’s anything on the stage you like. Take whatever you want; it’s on me.

At least you’re the first female I’ve ever wanted to be a Beast Husband to. You deserve it!”

Si Shuo pursed her lips. This beastman was actually not bad, just a bit simple, but his appearance was too frightening.

“Thank you. You’re very kind, but I have Zhi Le.” She gave him a friend card. “I brought things and can exchange them myself.”

Tao Yun was helpless. Sure enough, the Beast God didn’t favor him. Why couldn’t he give anything away?

He left with one step and three turns of his head, dejectedly squatting down next to Ji Liang and drawing circles on the ground.

Ji Liang couldn’t help but chuckle. That little female wasn’t as timid as he had imagined.

Soon, it was Si Shuo and Yi Mei’s turn.

The two handed their things to the Snake Beastman, who estimated the value of their goods. Then, they could exchange for things according to that price, using crystals to make up for any difference.

Following Yi Mei’s example, Si Shuo first exchanged for sea crystal sand, which was sea salt, and some brightly colored and delicate beast hides in pink, light blue, pale yellow, and light purple, all with various patterns. There were thick and thin ones.

She also exchanged some fish and snake skins suitable for summer wear and as underlays.

She also got hand strings and necklaces, and exchanged the rest for cotton cloth.

Of course, she went back and carried three more times, selling all the dried river meat she had stored!

Carrying a full wicker basket, Si Shuo was in a good mood. She agreed with Yi Mei to sew clothes together when they got home.

At noon, she cooked a pot of fish ball and shredded meat porridge, added two bird eggs, and paired it with a plate of pickled wild vegetables. She also secretly exchanged for a bottle of pure milk to supplement her nutrition.

After eating and drinking her fill, she strolled around the cave to digest while continuing to study the recipes she had bought from the supermarket’s book section.

The living environment of the beastmen was too harsh. Even though the long winter had passed, people were already busy preparing for the next rainy and cold seasons in half a year.

Whether it was from the Original Owner’s memories or the beastmen’s descriptions, these two seasons every year were like a hurdle of life. Each time, many beastmen couldn’t make it through!

She had originally thought that the beastmen were at an extremely backward and primitive economic level, but in fact, in the Beast World Central Continent, there was already a preliminary civilization. People were less restricted by the climate, at least not like those in the marginal areas, such as the Lu’ni Tribe and the Thousand Cats Tribe, who needed to be busy collecting and hunting every day just to barely cope.

If possible, she wanted to go to the Beast World Central Continent to see, and even settle down there, choosing a good location to open a restaurant!

After taking a nap, Si Shuo dragged a wooden stump, carried a shallow wicker basket, and went to the cave entrance to do needlework with Yi Mei in the sun.

Yi Mei nudged Si Shuo with her knee. When she looked up, she asked curiously in a low voice, “Si Shuo, although that Tao Yun is a bit scary, I don’t think he’s malicious.

Won’t you reconsider? His strength is really good. If you miss this one, you don’t know when you’ll meet another Beast Husband with level six combat strength.”

Si Shuo made a bitter face and lied, “When I was young, I was bitten by a snake. I don’t like cold, slippery beastmen. Zhi Le is better; he’s warm to hug!”

Yi Mei nodded with a smile. “That’s right. Rogue beasts can be good or bad, but they’re born with shallow emotions. Many don’t even see their parents.

Sometimes their methods are too extreme, disregarding the feelings of other beastmen.

Some females ignore the opposition of their relatives and friends and take rogue beasts as Beast Husbands. As they slowly get to know each other, the novelty wears off, and they can’t accept their cruelty, selfishness, and coldness, so they forcibly dissolve the beast mark in the end.”

Si Shuo was stunned. “You can forcibly dissolve the beast mark?”

The Original Owner’s father had left early, and no one taught her. Moreover, she couldn’t hear, so there were many things the Original Owner didn’t understand.

Yi Mei patiently explained, “Of course. The Beast God used the power of heaven and earth to condense the beast mark in order to protect females.

◈◈◈

With a beast mark, a female has the absolute protection of a male, as well as a portion of the male’s life force to nourish her.

If a female is in danger, the male will immediately sense it. No matter where he is, he will rush to her. If a male has ulterior motives, he will suffer heart-wrenching pain…

If a male dies, the beast mark on the female will slowly disappear.

If a female dies or is forcibly released from the beast mark, half of the male’s lifespan and combat strength will be stripped away…”

Because of the Beast God’s favoritism towards females, the beast mark has a strong binding force on males.

Si Shuo was deeply touched. Every male who offered a beast mark was a warrior!

She felt a cool gaze, like a cold wind blowing across the downy hairs on her face.

Si Shuo subconsciously turned her head and met a pair of golden vertical pupils.

The owner of those vertical pupils happened to be walking below them with the Chieftain, squinting his eyes and looking over. His voice was neither high nor low, but it clearly entered her ears:

“…Sorry for troubling Chieftain Wu Chuan. Send flying beastmen to notify the surrounding tribes that our Dark Crow Merchant Band will temporarily rest at the Lu’ni Tribe for these few days.

Those who want to exchange things can come over…”

With the Dark Crow Merchant Band around, why would the tribe need to be on tenterhooks all day, guarding against the active rogue beasts?

Chieftain Wu Chuan happily agreed, afraid that Ji Liang would go back on his word, and turned around to order people to make arrangements.

Ji Liang jumped to the cave entrance and sat down within an arm’s length of Si Shuo.

One of his legs was stretched out, and the other was bent, his hand resting lazily on it.

The male’s tall stature, long legs, and long arms gave Si Shuo the illusion of being embraced, as well as a cool breeze blowing in her ear like an air conditioner.

She tightly gripped the beast hide in her hand, her blood almost stopping. She was clearly very afraid, but she didn’t dare to lower her head to avoid him, afraid that he would pinch her chin!

“Zhi Le is your Beast Husband?” Ji Liang asked with a smile.

Si Shuo nodded.

“My name is Ji Liang. Back then, your Beast Husband had his ability stripped in the Dongye Forest. I happened to pass by and pick him up. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by wild animals long ago and become fertilizer for some flowers and plants.”

Si Shuo’s heart tightened. Then, she stood up with a serious expression and bowed deeply to him. “Thank you, Lord Ji Liang. You saved Zhi Le, so you’re also my savior!”

Ji Liang smiled. “Savior? Is that all just verbal thanks?”

Si Shuo pursed her lips, slowly walked around him, ran to the cave, and quickly ran back out, carrying a full ten level six crystals. She handed them to Ji Liang with exceptional sincerity.

“Lord Ji Liang, although crystals are vulgar and can’t compare to Zhi Le’s life, this is what we can think of for now to thank you.

If there’s anything you need us to do, we’ll definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Hearing such heroic words from such a delicate and beautiful little female was truly endearing. He really wanted to snatch her to be his female and travel north and south with him.

Ji Liang was slightly excited. His snake tongue flicked out, hissing.

Si Shuo’s body stiffened, and her legs went weak. She was really going to be scared into a heart attack!

She really used a lot of courage to not show her fear, afraid of angering this snake beastman.

Ji Liang took a level six crystal from her hand, his cool fingertips brushing across the back of her soft hand.

He played with it, “Indeed, it can’t compare. I’m the First in Command of the Dark Crow Merchant Band. What I lack the least is crystals. ”

Clearly, he wasn’t very interested in this method.

“However, Zhi Le is good to you, letting you give away level six crystals to others. Hiss, you don’t have a single male at home. Aren’t you afraid of being targeted?”

He lowered his head and looked at the beastmen walking back and forth. The temptation of level six crystals wasn’t small.

Si Shuo pursed her lips. He was doing this on purpose!

She had clearly already been discreet, but he didn’t care and even showed it off to others?

In the little female’s deep blue eyes, he was all she could see, and they rippled with a hint of aggrieved accusation.

Ji Liang couldn’t help but touch his nose, his vertical pupils trembling slightly. He threw the crystals back, as if they were tasteless.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I just want to tell you that I’ll be at the Lu’ni Tribe for these few days.

If there’s anything, you can come find me. Like you, I hope Zhi Le is well. He’s a talented and loyal beastman.

He shouldn’t be defiled by some dirty things!”

The second one who dotes on her has arrived!

What to do if my daughter-in-law doesn’t like cold-blooded animals…
