Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 21

Ch 21: Look at How Normal People Do Things

At noon, the gathering party returned, and Yi Mei brought Si Shuo a small basket of fruit.

Si Shuo smiled and returned some fish balls, “These are made with fish from the river and plant flour, kneaded together, and boiled with wild vegetables and salt. The soup is especially delicious!”

Yi Mei didn’t stand on ceremony with her, accepting the fish balls and letting Rong Xing cook while she pulled Si Shuo to the platform in front of the cave to talk.

Half of the males had gone hunting, making the tribe much quieter than usual, and even gossip was scarce.

Recently, everyone’s conversations revolved around the rogue beastmen in the traveling merchant band and the beastmen from other tribes who came to exchange goods in the tribe.

“Your sister and Ma Hui never get tired of talking, wishing they could grab someone and tell them they took in rogue beastmen… Just look at their movements at night, who doesn’t know… Look at what they’re wearing, they don’t even get tired of walking…”

Yi Mei complained to Si Shuo.

Si Shuo nodded, leaned close to Yi Mei’s ear, and asked softly, “Yi Mei, wouldn’t you like to have a rogue beastman with good combat strength as your beast husband?”

Yi Mei chuckled softly, opening her mouth to ask silently, “What’s wrong, Si Shuo, finally taking this matter to heart? It’s the first time I’ve seen you so lazy. Who doesn’t pick two or three when choosing a husband for the first time! How could I not want one? But I know my own limitations. My looks aren’t outstanding, and my fertility is mediocre.

Which of the rogue beastmen in the traveling merchant band hasn’t seen the world? Why would they take a fancy to a little female like me?”

“Just talk about it. Maybe it could happen?” Si Shuo pursed her lips and nudged her shoulder.

Yi Mei blushed a little, “I think Koba is pretty good.”

Si Shuo was a little puzzled, “Which one?”

“It’s the tall, thin one with yellowish-green hair, who’s quite handsome and has a sweet tongue—the Rattlesnake Beastman!”

Si Shuo nodded in realization. He was indeed a rogue beastman who knew how to please females. If she remembered correctly, he had an orange beast mark on his neck.

The male beastmen have beast marks on their necks, divided into seven levels from low to high: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Each color contains three levels. For example, an orange beast mark represents a level four combat strength!

Every three levels, the color changes, and the combat strength suppression between each color level is very strong.

Si Shuo smiled and nodded, “Really set on this one? No changing your mind?”

Yi Mei chuckled, “Yes, yes, yes, I just fancy this Young Brother. It’s as if my choosing him means I can take him as my beast husband.”

Si Shuo teased, “To make it happen, the first step is to dare to dream!”

After lunch, Si Shuo continued to laze around, enjoying the cool breeze. The most difficult two days had passed, and she could finally sleep a little more comfortably.

In the afternoon, after practicing the Germination Art, just as she returned to the cave, the hunting males came back, carrying many prey with high spirits.

Si Shuo immediately saw Ji Liang at the head. This time, he had actually brought back six Curled Horn Long-Haired Sheep!

Ji Liang didn’t avoid her as he usually did but walked directly to the bottom of her building, first smiling at her with narrowed eyes.

Si Shuo also pursed her lips and curved them into a smile, revealing shallow dimples. Her clear blue eyes rippled with a light smile, making her obedient and beautiful.

After looking for a while, Ji Liang shook the rope in his hand, saying in a tone that implied he was seeking praise, “Little Shuo Shuo, I hunted a few milk-producing sheep for you. Remember to drink some every day to nourish your body.”

Si Shuo smiled and nodded, “Okay!”

Ji Liang hissed softly, remembering that they had slept together last night, and he couldn’t resist her at all.

The little female, so unguarded towards him, was so delicate that he wished he could give her his heart and lungs.

He handed the vine rope in his hand to the beastman next to him, telling him to raise the sheep in the tribe’s mountain trench. Six Curled Horn Sheep—three to be handed over to the tribe, and three to be left for Si Shuo!

After giving instructions, he jumped to Si Shuo’s side and whispered, “I also hunted some delicious Bamboo Rats and Cuckoo birds, and got a few nests of duck eggs. Can I come to your place for dinner tonight?”

◈◈◈

The two were very close, and Ji Liang knew that she was a little afraid of him, so he restrained himself from eagerly wanting to stick out his tongue.

Si Shuo glared at him, “Tonight, I’m eating at the square!”

If they ate at home tonight, wouldn’t he enter the house freely? By the time it was time to sleep, would she still be able to chase him out?

He was just taking advantage of her thin skin, unable to refuse his seemingly gentle but actually quite domineering show of affection.

Ji Liang gently tapped her forehead, “You little clever ghost, I really can’t do anything with you. Fine, fine, I’ll eat next to you tonight!”

After saying this, he looked at Yi Mei, who was peeking out to gossip, and asked with a lazy smile, “You’re Yi Mei, Si Shuo’s friend, right? Among the males in our Dark Crow Merchant Band, is there anyone you’ve taken a fancy to? Pick one, and I’ll give you some good things for conditioning your body and increasing fertility.

Just need you to help take care of our Si Shuo.”

Yi Mei was stunned, feeling like a meat pie had fallen from the sky, knocking her silly.

She looked at Ji Liang, then at the smiling Si Shuo, and suddenly understood something, saying with slight excitement, “Thank you, Lord Ji Liang. Can I choose Koba? Will he feel wronged being with me?”

Ji Liang turned his head and called out, “Koba, did you hear that?”

The male beastman who was called out was wearing a set of cyan beast hide clothing, his yellowish-green short hair stylishly wild, and his delicate face split into a wide smile. With one leap, he stood next to Yi Mei.

“Not wronged at all. What we rogue beastmen look forward to the most is having a home and receiving a female’s lifelong devotion.

As long as Yi Mei doesn’t chase me away, I won’t feel wronged!”

The beastmen’s personalities were relatively straightforward. Even as merchants, all they sought was a devoted companion and to have their own cubs.

After all, males like Ji Liang, who wanted to find a lifelong partner at first sight and had high standards for looks and fate, were in the minority.

Si Shuo watched Yi Mei and Koba hit it off immediately, taking the gift that Ji Liang gave, and the two of them immediately entered the cave…

Ji Liang saw the little female’s dazed expression, chuckled softly, and ruffled her hair, “Why is our little female so hard to pursue? Look at how normal people do things. After all, since they’ve decided to offer their beast mark, they naturally want to taste the love they’ve been longing for.”

Si Shuo’s face flushed red as she sat next to him, took out a peace buckle from her beast hide pocket, and fastened it to his waist.

The peace buckle had a round pearl on top and a beautiful phoenix tail knot below.

On the dark black clothing, the fiery red and gold-trimmed peace buckle was set off beautifully.

“May you have peace, joy, and smooth sailing in all things!”

Ji Liang lowered his head to look at it, gently rubbing it in his hand, his heart warm and soft.

Although he had never heard this phrase before, he savored each word, able to feel her heartfelt blessing and hope.

He smiled and praised her enthusiastically, “Our little Si Shuo is truly clever and skilled, and her words are so sweet. She’s a thousand times better than the females raised in the aristocratic families of the Central Continent!”

Si Shuo asked curiously, “What’s the Central Continent like?”

Ji Liang…
