Ch 55: Then I’ll Be Bad for You?
When it comes to family matters for the Beastmen, it’s mostly the males who handle things. The females just need to eat well, drink well, and have fun.
Nowadays, everything on the stall is something the females love. They won’t let the males help, because they’re enjoying themselves. It’s just that their hit rate isn’t high, making the males anxious. They’re all directing with their mouths, wishing they could step in themselves.
There are those who shout instructions, those who anxiously jump around, and those who cheer excitedly. That lively energy attracts even more customers.
One wave after another, and with the ceramic items hanging there, everyone basically chooses to spend five level two crystals to buy two baskets of bamboo rings for the females and Cubs to toss.
Si Shuo has already returned to the treehouse in the middle of the stall, eating a fruit platter, and peering down at the excitement from the window.
The males take turns coming up to keep her company.
Zhi Le wrapped his arms around her and said softly, “Little Cat Cub, once the business here is stable, we’re planning to take turns going into the forest to hunt.
We’re heading to the Central Continent, and the journey is long and we don’t know what dangers we’ll encounter, so we can’t be careless.”
Although they have four beast husbands, it’s still not enough when they get busy.
Nanye City is very big and doesn’t lack strong Beastmen. Even with the guard squad the city assigned to the Holy Lady, they’re still not at ease. Each time, they have to leave one or two of their strongest men to guard her.
Si Shuo remembered the six Marrow Cleansing Pills she had just gotten yesterday, took one out, and stuffed it into his mouth, saying without blushing or panting, “Although the Beast God is very busy and has a lot of people to take care of, he still saw that I passed on the pottery-making method, so he specially rewarded me with these good things. There are six of them, and we all get a share!”
As she said that, she fed one to herself as well.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill, like a crystal, melted in the mouth. A pure, vibrant, and gentle energy entered the stomach along the esophagus, flowed through all parts of the body, gently smoothing out all the hidden injuries and washing away impurities and toxins.
That comfortable feeling made Zhi Le couldn’t help but groan, and Si Shuo purred non-stop in her throat.
After the Marrow Cleansing Pill’s effects were fully realized, they felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
Zhi Le felt it the most deeply. It was as if all shackles had disappeared, and the upward momentum was even stronger than when he was at his peak, and his aptitude was even better. The orange beast mark on his neck directly increased by two, upgrading him to a level six Beastman.
Moreover, he had a premonition that once he stabilized his level six state, he could easily advance to level seven, and even break through to level eight in the short term.
The pill was simply heaven-defying. His level was low, so the momentum was great.
However, the smell under their noses was too awful. The two of them had stiff expressions, almost retching!
Zhi Le quickly took out warm water and had Si Shuo take a bath first. With the protective barrier in place, they weren’t afraid of being spied on.
The two of them scrubbed off the mud shells from their bodies and washed two or three times with scented soap.
Zhi Le sewed a small collar onto his clothes to cover up the extra beast mark, kissed Si Shuo, and then called Brother Xu Chi up, while he went down to help.
Si Shuo also gave Brother Xu Chi a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Brother Xu Chi was escorted out of the clan lands by many elders. At that time, he had narrowly escaped death, covered in blood, and had many fatal injuries. It was by relying on a desire to live that he had stubbornly persevered.
The Antlered Deer had a good talent, and cultivation came naturally to him, but he had injured his foundation. He had wandered alone outside for so long, and had accumulated many hidden injuries, causing his cultivation speed to be not much faster than ordinary Beastmen.
Now, with a Marrow Cleansing Pill in his stomach, these hidden injuries and old ailments were actually eradicated. Brother Xu Chi’s level eight combat strength had been forcibly raised by one and a half levels, directly approaching level ten!
Brother Xu Chi, who rarely showed any emotion, couldn’t help but widen his eyes, which were filled with a faint joy. If it weren’t for the awful smell under his nose, he would have especially wanted to enshrine the Little Female in his embrace.
After taking a quick bath, Ji Liang was already urging him from below.
He kissed Si Shuo reluctantly, and then left with one step and three turns of his head, but he didn’t forget to cover up the extra beast mark.
◈◈◈
Ji Liang and Gong You, one was a Rogue Beastman. Except for the rainy season and the cold season, he spent the rest of his time traveling among the tribes south of the Dongye Forest, buying and selling goods. He had encountered too many villains and powerful Savage Beasts, and had many hidden injuries on his body.
Gong You had guarded the Beast Fighting Stage for five years. With so many battles, how could he have emerged unscathed every time?
After they successively took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ji Liang leaped two levels and became a level nine Beastman.
The beast mark on Gong You’s neck directly changed from yellow to green!
The higher the level of the Beastman, the more difficult it is to advance. This is linked to many factors, such as personal experience accumulation, talent, comprehension, effort, and opportunity. Each advancement is also extremely dangerous.
Advancement within the same color tier is still okay, just endure a fever and your overall combat strength will increase, but when the color tier changes, which one isn’t extremely dangerous? Those who lose their lives or become disabled can account for half of them.
Several of them had actually advanced painlessly. Even Gong You was a little dazed, as if he was treading on clouds, it was too unreal.
Si Shuo didn’t feel too much of a change, but the Wood Affinity she cultivated was even purer.
The males liked to feed Si Shuo’s Si San with their respective spiritual power every day. With them around, Si Shuo didn’t need to use her spiritual power, so she also learned from them and fed her spiritual power to the males’ whips one by one, until the spiritual power in her body was exhausted.
This method did allow her to improve her spiritual power storage and precise control.
The customers at their stall never stopped from morning to night. One wave every ten minutes, with seventy or eighty customers tossing rings at the same time.
The crystals quickly filled the Beast Hide Sacks on the waists of the Little Brothers. They poured the Beast Hide Sacks into the baskets, and the crisp sound made the eyes of the surrounding stall owners and onlookers turn red.
The stall’s business was too hot, so Si Shuo had asked the Beastmen of the Feng Chuan tribe in advance to only be responsible for the food supply, while they faced the entire Nanye City to purchase hand string necklaces.
“Si Shuo, what do you want to eat for lunch?” When Brother Xu Chi came up again, he wrapped his arms around Si Shuo and asked softly.
Si Shuo leaned into his arms. Perhaps her heat period was about to arrive, plus the weather was starting to get hot and she was particularly excited today, she didn’t have much of an appetite but instead felt a burst of restlessness.
Leaning on the male’s chest, this uncomfortable feeling was alleviated somewhat.
She chuckled and looked up, kissing his chin, “Eat you!”
Brother Xu Chi’s breathing hitched, and his mind straightforwardly went astray following her words. He tightened his embrace and coaxed softly, “Be good, let’s eat first…”
Si Shuo pursed her lips, turned around, and hugged him. He was clearly someone who was particularly easily teased, but he abided by the rules, so well-behaved that it made people’s hearts ache.
She leaned close to his ear and said softly, “Brother Xu Chi, has anyone ever told you that sometimes, if the male isn’t bad, the female won’t love him?”
Brother Xu Chi only lacked experience in this area, which didn’t mean he was stupid. Hearing this, he didn’t hold back any longer. He broke free from his restraints, hugged her, and chuckled softly in her ear, “Then I’ll be bad for you?”
The current draft storage can still handle it, so here’s an extra update!
Where is the applause, where are the votes?
Actually, the number of votes isn’t important, what’s important is being able to see the lively figures of the Little Cuties.
