Ch 36: How Come I Suspect You Gave Me a Cub?
With yesterday’s experience, Si Shuo took a deep breath, pulling her attention away from the two males and focusing on her healing ability, dividing it into two and following the meridians in her left and right hands to gradually repair them.
If the meridians are to become strong and the storage in the dantian is to increase, there must be a process of breaking down and then rebuilding. In each flushing and expansion, the strength will steadily increase!
Brother Xu Chi used his spiritual power to flush Si Shuo’s meridians, coupled with her healing ability, which was equivalent to taking a shortcut that achieved twice the result with half the effort.
After one cycle, Xu Chi and Ji Liang withdrew their hands. This matter should be done gradually and not be greedy for quick results.
Si Shuo felt that her meridians seemed to have been widened a bit, and the meridian walls were also more resilient.
She took out the seeds and began to germinate them. The seeds became thick and long, tightly entwining each other.
This time, she used a few more seeds. The whip that was germinated was about the same thickness as yesterday, but what was with it jumping into Ji Liang’s arms, twisting its fat body, and acting coquettish?
Ji Liang pinched the fat whip that had wrapped around his arm, raising an eyebrow at Si Shuo: “Little Shuo Shuo, how come I suspect you gave me a cub?”
Si Shuo was both ashamed and angry, reaching out to pull the fat whip away.
Ji Liang, however, smiled and pulled her into his arms, moving his other arm away, “Our Home Female Little Shuo Shuo has a high talent. The whip germinated with spiritual power seems to have spiritual awareness. Let me raise this whip. Feed it some spiritual power every day, and after a long time, it can also hunt wild beasts to protect you.”
Si Shuo pointed at herself in surprise: “Am I that powerful? Can this whip really fight monsters on its own?”
Xu Chi nodded, “Although Si Shuo’s spiritual power is not abundant, it is particularly pure, which means your spiritual power quality has a high starting point.
After the wood-type spiritual power leaves the body, it can automatically draw the essence of heaven and earth with the help of plants, which has unique advantages, but feeding this whip is indeed not easy and a very long process.”
But I have to say, once the whip is fed and formed, giving birth to complete spiritual awareness, its combat strength will be powerful, and it can even transform into a Humanoid in the future!”
After speaking, he looked at Si Shuo expectantly.
Si Shuo was a little dizzy from the praises of the two, and immediately said with a smile: “I will germinate another whip for you tomorrow.”
Only then did Xu Chi nod in satisfaction, “Okay, I’ll wait.”
Ji Liang stroked Si Shuo’s glistening earlobe, asking in a low voice: “Little Shuo Shuo, are we waiting for Zhi Le here, or heading towards Nanye City?”
We are already leaning east now, maybe we can reach Nanye City with Zhi Le together.”
Nanye City is south of the Dongye Forest, a relatively large Beast City that everyone is familiar with. It is close to the sea, rich in salt and the pearl shells that females love, and it also has the Merman race, which is indispensable among beast husbands.
Many factors superimposed, making Nanye City more and more lively, developing step by step from a small market town into a very large Beast City!
It is precisely because of this that every year after the winter snow melts and spring warms, the nearby tribes, when going to Nanye City to exchange for sea crystal sand, will bring females with good fertility from the tribe to choose powerful beast husbands here.
Si Shuo pursed her lips, her cheeks uncontrollably flushed: “Okay, it just so happens that I heard the females of the Feng Chuan Tribe say that they are contacting several nearby tribes to travel to Nanye City together.”
With more people, the commotion will be greater, and the wild beasts on the road will avoid them in advance, which is safer than the three of them traveling alone.
Ji Liang and Xu Chi exchanged a look, and this matter was settled.
In the past, the Feng Chuan Tribe would prepare many beast hides, crystals, dried meat, and honey to go to Nanye City to exchange for sea crystal sand and other materials. Now that they have learned to extract starch and make river meat balls, they will also include starch and balls in the list of items to be prepared.
The males joined the ranks of catching river meat, while the females went to collect earth potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, three kinds of rhizome plants that can make starch.
Si Shuo was afraid that the Beast Folk would overfish and over-harvest the river meat and rhizome plants, so she specially sought out Clan Leader Ju Ke.
Clan Leader Ju Ke was also helping to make river meat balls at home. Seeing the three of them coming, he hurriedly told the Good Cubs to pour honey water.
◈◈◈
Si Shuo thanked him with a smile, sat on the tree stump, and drank the honey water.
Seeing that she liked it, Clan Leader Ju Ke immediately hugged three beehives that were about the size of winter melons and stuffed them to Xu Chi, “We have a large sea of flowers in the north, and there are many wild beehives in the nearby forest.
Take these to drink first!”
Usually, except for the females who are about to give birth, who can drink some wild honey to nourish their bodies, everyone else saves it to exchange for things in Nanye City.
Si Shuo nodded with a smile, looking at Ji Liang.
The latter coughed softly, saying that they also wanted to follow everyone to Nanye City.
Clan Leader Ju Ke was not surprised. The little female was beautiful, but there were too few beastmen around her. Nanye City was large and had many beastmen, so maybe she could find some good beastmen, or have some ways to nourish her body, increase her lifespan, and increase her fertility.
“No problem, we originally scheduled to leave tomorrow. If Si Shuo wasn’t staying in the tribe to wait for her beast husband, we would have invited her to come along.”
Ji Liang, as the representative of the “deaf and half-mute” Si Shuo, continued solemnly: “Clan Leader Ju Ke, our Home Female Si Shuo knows how to extract starch and make river meat balls, which she also learned from other females.
This method was taught by the Beast God. Although he hopes that more Beast Folk will be full and get through the long rainy and cold seasons, we must follow his rules.”
Upon hearing about the Beast God, Clan Leader Ju Ke quickly stood up, directly kneeling on the ground with a thud, and said with great piety: “The Feng Chuan Tribe listens to the Beast God’s will!”
The Beast Folk present all knelt down, chanting together.
Si Shuo was startled, slightly shifting her body to avoid being worshiped by everyone.
Ji Liang glanced at her amusedly, his voice cold and deep: “The Beast God said that all things grow according to their own laws.
Now, because of his teaching, everyone is overfishing river meat and seafood, and over-collecting earth potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, completely breaking the usual pattern.
If you don’t set rules from the beginning, you are digging your own graves. Enjoying tomorrow’s food today, you will only starve tomorrow!”
His words were simple and easy to understand, and everyone couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
These past two days, they were delighted that the river meat was edible and that starch could be extracted from earth potatoes and other things. They never thought about the future, wishing they could catch all the river meat in one go.
Ji Liang changed his tone and said: “In fact, as long as we intervene, feeding the river meat, planting earth potatoes, etc., we can completely avoid this problem.”
Then, he told Ju Ke the main points that Si Shuo had relayed from the breeding and planting guide exchanged from the supermarket, such as they could feed the river meat in the lake, let the Little Beastmen catch insects or throw minced meat and vegetable leaves into the lake when they had nothing to do; for example, prohibit fishing during the breeding season of the river meat; for example, they could cut the sprouted earth potatoes and other things into pieces and bury them in the ground…”
As for the specific operations, the Beast Folk of the Feng Chuan Tribe would have to slowly explore them.
The Beast Folk listened very carefully and carefully, nodding one after another to indicate that they had remembered it!
