Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 17

Ch 17: How Can He Be So Good at Capturing People’s Hearts

Usually, the Beastmen in the tribe are quite busy. If they are not hunting and gathering, they are collecting firewood, mending clothes, making dried meat, and so on. Except for mealtimes, they have no time to relax.

Occasionally, some guards passed by. Si Shuo pretended to inadvertently touch the mountain trench.

After entering, she quickly found a relatively hidden corner to huddle in. Here, whoever came in, she could see their shadow first.

Moreover, she had awakened her ability, and her five senses were heightened.

Si Shuo took out a handful of seeds and placed them one by one in her palm to try and germinate them.

She selected a few types, all of which were fast-growing and thorny.

After deciding on the seeds she would use regularly in the future, Si Shuo began to try to germinate the seeds while quickly weaving a cage. For this purpose, she even exchanged for a weaving tutorial book in the supermarket’s book section.

However, she was weaving the cage to better hide and conceal herself, or to leave the other party helpless against her.

This required the cage to be dense, so that the other party could not reach in; the leaves covered her body; and it also had an inconspicuous messiness, so that when Beastmen glanced over, they would take her for the background!

Si Shuo weaved for an afternoon. Before her ability was exhausted, she finally had some progress.

She threw several clumps of plants into the mountain trench, which contained a faint wood spiritual energy, attracting a few little piglets who were not afraid of pricking their mouths and buried their heads in gnawing.

Si Shuo was somewhat silent. The wild beasts’ teeth were too good, weren’t they? It was a pity that she had also prepared poisonous plants to use in combination. Otherwise, once she was discovered, she would quickly become someone else’s food.

Back in the cave, Si Shuo was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.

She lit a bonfire and placed a light, thin stone pot used for grilling meat on top. She decided to use delicious food to distract herself!

Of course, she placed a few small electric fans nearby, with frozen glutinous rice balls in front of the fans, so that the wind blowing out was ice-cold.

She took out the piece of beef from the space, cut it into finger-thick slices, and marinated it with seasonings.

She boiled pasta, pan-fried steak, eggs, and broccoli, placed two cherry tomatoes for garnish, poured on black pepper sauce, and took a bottle of orange soda.

Si Shuo felt like she was eating in a themed restaurant. How could she still remember that she was in an embarrassing heat period?

The only thing that made her feel regretful was that Zhile was not accompanying her, and that she had been too much of a homebody recently. She had only gone out on one gathering mission, which led to her living off her savings, and her Beast Coins were almost gone.

When would she be able to save enough money to buy a mobile phone? Even if the mobile phone couldn’t connect to the internet, she could play single-player games.

She had absolutely no resistance to this kind of small game, and could spend a whole day playing them!

She left a few slices of steak dipped in black pepper sauce for Zhile, then took a bath and lay on the bed, turning on the rechargeable desk lamp to read a certain Robinson Crusoe novel, worth more than twenty yuan, without any cuts.

With the attraction of the novel, she paid less attention to her body.

Especially now, her situation was similar to a certain Crusoe, both having arrived in a place without human modern technological civilization, and having to rely on themselves for food and clothing.

But as the night deepened, her body began to protest, no longer listening to her self-deception.

She suppressed the cry that reached her throat, biting the animal hide and whimpering. She didn’t know if it was because she had suppressed it for too long and was experiencing a rebound, or if the heat period was like the monthly relative, not being constant, but having an increasing and decreasing process?

At this moment, there was a gentle knocking sound on the wooden door. Her azure eyes flashed with a touch of scarlet. However, the person outside the door was exceptionally persistent, as if he wouldn’t give up unless she opened the door.

Si Shuo bit a handkerchief, suppressing her cries, and staggered to the door, growling in a low voice, “What are you doing? Are you afraid that others won’t know, right?

Why would you, a leader of a traveling merchant band, be so foolish as to get involved with a thin, weak, and disabled Female like me…”

Before she could finish, Si Shuo froze, her mind somewhat clearing.

Wasn’t she pretending to have a hearing impairment? How did she just blurt out a response?

Sure enough, Ji Liang’s low laughter came from outside the door: “Hiss, so our Little Shuo Shuo can hear? You act so convincingly. Is it that besides Zhile, only I know your secret?

◈◈◈

Little Shuo Shuo, with a hoarse voice, speaks so fluently, and it’s especially captivating.”

Si Shuo took a deep breath, her nails digging fiercely into her palm, the air filled with a trace of b*oody scent. “I won’t open the door. Go away!”

Ji Liang’s expression changed: “Si Shuo, don’t torment yourself if you’re uncomfortable. If Zhile knew, he would definitely be heartbroken.

If you don’t want to open the door, I absolutely won’t go in. Can I just stay at the door and talk to you?”

Si Shuo leaned against the door and gently slid to the ground. The heat in her body made her instinctively want to get closer to him, pressing hard against the door.

Her voice couldn’t help but carry a trace of grievance, “No, you’ll be discovered here…”

Ji Liang laughed in exasperation, “Si Shuo, we Beastmen have keen senses of smell and hearing. This place is full of caves.

Do you think that if I wasn’t guarding outside your cave, expending so much ability just to set up a defensive barrier for you, isolating sound and scent.

By now, who knows how many Males who have lost their Females, and with level one or two combat strength, would be standing outside your cave!”

He did what he did, of course, he had to say it clearly.

Si Shuo was stunned for a moment, bit the handkerchief, and mumbled, “The Males in our tribe don’t dare to have anything to do with me. Aren’t you afraid that I’m delicate and won’t live long, and that your strength will be halved after I die?”

Ji Liang curled his lips, “It seems that Zhile has protected you too well. The Males with Beast Marks don’t dare to touch you, and the Males without Beast Marks don’t have the courage to bully you because of Zhile and his friends.

You are beautiful, and I’m fond of you to the core. What are crystals and level seven combat strength? Without a Female to protect, life as a Beastman is so tasteless.”

Si Shuo hummed, “I don’t like cold-blooded animals!”

“Little Shuo Shuo, are you sure you don’t like it now? How cold and refreshing,” Ji Liang’s low voice sounded as if he were speaking right next to her ear.

She liked it, she wanted cold and refreshing…

This damn thing, how could he be so good at capturing people’s hearts.

“I, I’m not a beast, succumbing to instinct. Even if you take advantage of me, we have no feelings. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll forcibly terminate the Beast Mark?” Si Shuo scratched the door with her claws, feeling uncomfortable.

Ji Liang listened to the scratching sound on the wooden door, his heart aching. “Feelings can be cultivated. It’s the same with other Males and Females. They bond when they find each other attractive, and feelings develop over time.

Little Shuo Shuo, I will be very obedient. Please don’t have prejudice against me because of rogue beasts, okay?

I became a traveling merchant and made a name for myself because I wanted to stand in front of the Female I liked with dignity and tell her that I’m different.

I’m just as loyal and righteous as Zhile. I help those in need when I encounter injustice on the road.

I haven’t done anything evil. I still have my Beast Mark. I also strive to learn the ways of the world.

I work so much harder than others, don’t I deserve to stand by your side and protect you?

At least, don’t dismiss me just because of cold-bloodedness and rogue beasts…”

Ji Liang: Hiss, I’m squatting at the door, I wonder if I can squat some meat…
