Ch 37: You Want One, Huh? I’ll Equip You with One Later
Si Shuo, Zhi Le, and Ji Liang were also busy extracting starch and making river meat balls.
Xu Chi used his Wind Affinity to help catch fish and extract starch.
Ji Liang had an Ice Affinity, making him perfect for solidifying the balls. The two of them cooperated seamlessly, barely needing Si Shuo’s intervention.
Si Shuo secretly took advantage of the Beastmen’s inattention, stuffing potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, and corn into her pocket dimension. This way, when she arrived at the Central Continent, she could reclaim land for planting!
After a busy day, they made four large bamboo baskets of river meat balls, as well as three beast hide sacks of potato starch, sweet potato starch, and corn starch.
In the evening, Si Shuo, as usual, drew pictures for Zhi Le, telling him that Ji Liang had come on a White-Fronted Goose, that they had made river meat balls, and that they were following the tribe’s team to Nanye City.
After the drawings were stored in her pocket dimension, she gently rubbed the beast mark on her wrist.
Seeing the little female secretly hiding away to write and draw, Ji Liang’s eyes softened. He turned his head to look at Xu Chi, “I begged for a long time to get a spot. You got a bargain.”
Xu Chi was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips: “It was the Beast God’s guidance. I am destined to be with Si Shuo.”
Remembering the bead that Si Shuo wore around her neck, Ji Liang’s expression became complicated, “You better keep your identity a secret. Otherwise, not only will you bring disaster upon yourself, but you will also drag Si Shuo into it.”
Xu Chi nodded: “I will become stronger, no longer be restricted by my race, be coveted by others, or cause trouble for Si Shuo!”
In the evening, Si Shuo also used her Germination Art to create a fat, spoiled Thorny Vine Whip for Xu Chi.
Watching the two males use their spiritual power to feed the fat whip, causing it to happily wag its head and tail, Si Shuo covered her eyes, unable to watch.
However, she pondered that since her spiritual power was so pure, instead of creating fat whips every day, she might as well try to use her spiritual power to nourish herself.
The next day, before dawn, there was movement in the tribe. Everyone was already packing their things, preparing to set off and meet up with people from other tribes.
Ji Liang transformed into a Black Snake, allowing Xu Chi to tie the things to his body one by one.
Xu Chi then picked up Si Shuo and followed the others.
The males transformed into their beast forms, carrying bamboo baskets and beast hide sacks on their backs, or carrying the females, and ran under the leadership of the leader.
Although Xu Chi was in humanoid form, he manipulated his Wind Affinity, walking side by side with Ji Liang.
In her previous life, Si Shuo woke up every day gasping for air, making it difficult for her to get a good night’s sleep. Therefore, after being reborn, she was particularly fond of sleeping and intentionally indulged in her habit of sleeping in.
She lazily opened her eyes and saw Xu Chi’s chin?
Seeing that she was awake, Xu Chi found a place to stop and scooped out warm water from his pocket dimension for her to wash up.
Ji Liang also coiled up beside her and hissed, “One of the Beastmen in our traveling merchant band has a Space Affinity, but the space of these Beastmen is not very large, and it is difficult to advance.
I’ve also heard of storage rings and space artifacts, but these treasures are hard to come by and priceless.”
Si Shuo pursed her lips, smiled, and turned her head to braid her hair. She could hear the envy in Ji Liang’s words.
“You want one, huh? I’ll equip you with one later. You know, I’ve always had good luck,” Si Shuo said with a light smile, “And I will definitely not favor one over the other!”
Ji Liang couldn’t help but smile, gently nudging her shoulder with his head, “I also know that your skill in drawing empty promises is increasing day by day.
There are so many treasures in the world. I envy them all. Can I have them all?
It’s just that I have one less thing to do to show you my affection, and I feel a little unbalanced.”
Si Shuo touched his round head, knowing that he was used to expressing his discomfort in order to gain her pity.
Ji Liang hissed twice, then wagged his tail in satisfaction.
Si Shuo slowly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and carefully applied layers of lotion and cream to her face.
◈◈◈
After she finished tidying up and was completely awake, Xu Chi handed her a bowl of yam and corn porridge, two slices of steamed pork with rice flour, and a bowl of honey egg custard.
Si Shuo couldn’t help but smile brightly at Xu Chi, happily enjoying her breakfast.
Since discovering these few foods, her meals were finally gradually returning to normal, making her feel particularly comfortable.
After eating, Xu Chi carried the three beast hide sacks, and Si Shuo sat on Ji Liang’s beast form to catch up with the main group.
They traveled very fast, but Ji Liang raised a protective barrier, so Si Shuo only heard the wind whistling past her ears, but she didn’t feel it at all.
The Beastmen’s endurance was amazing. They ran from dawn until dusk before stopping to rest.
The resting place was not chosen at random. It was a place where they often stopped to rest over the years.
When they arrived, a large group of Beastmen had already lit a bonfire.
“Ah, that, that blonde seems to be Holy Lady Chu Man!” A little female couldn’t help but whisper.
Si Shuo followed everyone’s gaze and saw a fair-skinned, plump blonde female sitting next to the largest bonfire.
About ten males with imposing auras surrounded her.
Before she could ask, Ji Liang, who had transformed into his human form, leaned close to her ear and whispered, “See that? That’s the scale of a Holy Lady’s entourage. Our little Shuo’er is far from that.”
Si Shuo rubbed her ears, “Are you envious?”
“Yes,” Ji Liang hissed twice, “If it were in the past, I wouldn’t even frown if I swaggered around with a level ten crystal in my hand and was stared at by everyone.
But Si Shuo is different. Even though Xu Chi’s combat strength is level eight, and I’m not weak either, I’m still panicking, afraid that I won’t be able to protect you.”
Because of the panic from cherishing her too much, he had no choice but to obey the rules and actively seek out powerful beast husbands for his little female.
Their arrival also attracted the attention of that group of Beastmen.
Chu Man glanced over, then suddenly she narrowed her eyes, smiled lightly, stood up, and walked over here, with two males following her.
She walked straight up to Ji Liang, as if she didn’t see Si Shuo, “Lord Ji Liang, why didn’t you bring the merchant band? Are you also going to Nanye City?”
Ji Liang put his arm around Si Shuo’s shoulders and took a step back, frowning and asking lazily, “Who are you? Where I go is none of your business?”
Chu Man’s expression stiffened, then she smiled and said, “Lord Ji Liang has seen so many Beastmen, it’s normal that you don’t remember me. I am Holy Lady Chu Man of the Minghu Tribe.”
As she spoke, she slightly stuck out her stomach and stroked it twice with her hand, “The witch doctor said that this pregnancy is a little female.
Ji Liang, you were born a rogue beast. Ordinary females can’t give you family affection. How about I give you a little female?
After I give birth to this one, we’ll pray in front of the Beast God statue. He is merciful and will definitely be willing to give you and me a snake beast little female…”
As she said this, her eyes were charming, and she even tilted her neck slightly, her hand slowly moving down from her lips.
She knew too well what males needed, especially rogue beasts, who couldn’t resist the desire to have a little female cub!
