The evil female in the space can heal, and five beast husbands risk their lives to protect her.

Chapter 5 Beastman, Don't Die!
With a bright and cheerful smile, Qiao Suluo said, "No one has dug up such a large area."

As Qiao Suluo spoke, she went forward and cut off the konjac seedlings on top, leaving the roots below so that it would be easier to dig them up.

What was dug out was an enormous konjac.

"It's so big, we can make konjac tofu when we get back. We can stir-fry it or make konjac dumplings. But to make konjac dumplings, we need to add things like chili and pepper for seasoning."

They could even make konjac snacks and sell them.

The system said, "The orcs here only think this is a root, not food. Perhaps they won't deal with it and think it's poisonous."

Qiao Suluo said, "This is very easy to deal with. You can just burn wood ash to make alkaline water to remove the poison."

Qiao Suluo was full of energy and started digging.

"This body is too fat; even doing a little work makes me feel tired."

She desperately needs to lose weight.

"System, the slimming pills in your store are too expensive. Can we make a deal? I'll only buy a small amount at a time, and that might be cheaper?"

"can."

"Can the antidote pills be bought like this?"

"can."

……

Around noon, Qiao Suluo carried a basket of konjac and cudweed home.

When she returned at noon, some orcs who had been working in the fields were also returning home with hoes on their backs. When they saw Qiao Suluo, they were so surprised that they almost jumped up.

The female orcs, who had been going their separate ways, suddenly gathered together and started gossiping.

"Is this Qiao Suluo? Am I seeing things?"

"Of course you're not mistaken. She's the only female beast in our tribe that's that dark-skinned and that fat."

Every household in their village was poor and often went hungry. All the animals, male and female, were thin, except for Qiao Suluo, who was fat.

"My God, I really thought I was seeing things. The lazy and good-for-nothing Qiao Suluo actually has a day when she goes up the mountain."

Since Qiao Suluo came to their tribe, no one has ever seen her go out or do any work, but she often goes to the county.

"Did you see what she was carrying in her basket?"

"It's just cudweed, but it's strange. Doesn't she boast that she's from the capital? Why does she look down on our local wild vegetables?"

“I saw that there were poisonous roots under the cudweed.”

"What, Poison Root? She...she wouldn't be trying to poison her beast husband, would she? My God, how could she be so vicious?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Everyone gradually became terrified.

Qiao Suluo had excellent hearing and naturally overheard their conversation.

Ha, these people love to gossip about other people's business when they have nothing better to do, and she is the gossip center of this dull rural cat tribe.

They even suspected that she had poisoned her beastly husband with konjac.

However, if it were the predecessor, this kind of thing could indeed be done.

……

When Qiao Suluo returned home, Que Hongjin had already woken up and was chopping wood in the yard.

Now that it was daytime, Qiao Suluo could see Que Hongjin's appearance more clearly. She truly had exquisitely beautiful features, a gentle and refined temperament, and was three parts jade and seven parts more like an immortal.

It was midday, and the bright sunlight shone on him. His jet-black hair, as black as silk, seemed to radiate a jade-like luster at the ends, the color of peacock feathers, breathtakingly beautiful.

A gentle person may seem very approachable, but in reality, they carry a coldness that keeps people at a distance.

Qiao Suluo didn't know what to say to anyone, so she just walked past him and went into the kitchen.

At this moment, the system kept reminding me: "Host, keep going, don't waste any opportunity."

“Look, his wing is broken, and his shoulder blade hurts whenever he moves while working, but he still chops wood every day. Now is a good opportunity for the host to show him some concern.” Qiao Suluo didn’t want to say it, feeling very embarrassed, but without pursuing him, the quest line wouldn’t make any progress.

If they all turn evil quickly, they might just stab her to death with one blow.

Qiao Suluo stopped in her tracks, turned around, waved to Que Hongjin, and said stiffly as she did her task, "You're awake."

Que Hongjin paused in her wood-chopping motion, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes falling on her, meeting her clear and lively gaze.

Those eyes seemed to speak volumes.

Today, she was not as arrogant and domineering as before; she looked much calmer and less aggressive.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but she seemed to have lost some weight, and she looked much cleaner than before.

Thinking of last night, and how much his external injuries had healed, his eyes seemed to be filled with a deep, dark ink, carrying a faint smile that appeared gentle and easygoing, but in reality concealed wariness and sharpness.

"Well, wake up."

Qiao Suluo forced herself to ask again, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

He looked at Qiao Suluo with a half-smile and said in a gentle and refined manner, "Last night, my wife healed my injuries, and my health has improved a lot."

If she had followed her usual routine, she would have abused him even more if he was in better health.

She never cared about him before, not even a feigned concern.

She's really different today.

Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Um, the firewood we chopped is enough for today. You should rest for a while and not overwork yourself."

Que Hongjin's hands did not stop moving. "My lady is joking. If we chop more firewood, we can sell it in the county. This bundle can sell for five coins."

Five coins can buy a pound of mixed grain flour.

Qiao Suluo's hand holding the cleaver trembled. Had they really fallen so low as to make a living by selling firewood?

However, given their injuries, they couldn't venture into the deep mountains to hunt, as the wild animals there were formidable, and there were many ferocious beasts among them.

Given their current physical condition, they would probably be swallowed whole by wild beasts, unable to even withstand a single blow.

Qiao Sulu forced a smile and tried to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Well, I got some food, so you won't go hungry."

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo walked to the side and put down the things in the basket.

She first cleaned the cudweed and shiitake mushrooms. Making konjac takes a long time, so she would make it in the afternoon.

She used glutinous rice flour and cudweed bought from the online store to make the outer skin of the qingtuan, and then used shiitake mushrooms as the filling.

After preparing it, wrap it up and steam it.

Thanks to the konjac flowers on the mountain, which the Space Mall also buys, I gained some more points.

Unfortunately, konjac points are cheap, only one point per pound, but the quantity is plentiful.

So she also got a small weight loss pill to help her lose some fat.

Qiao Suluo saw from the kitchen that the breakfast had been eaten, which meant that the two of them had eaten.

After preparing the meal, Qiao Suluo wondered why Bai Qianluo wasn't home.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "Young Master Que, Young Master Bai accidentally fell into the river while washing clothes. He was rescued but was already dead. What a tragedy, he's gone just like that."

No one dared to call out to Qiao Suluo, knowing her temperament and that she certainly wouldn't care about the beastman's life or death.

Everyone could only call him Young Master Sparrow. In the eyes of the beastmen in the cat village, Young Master Sparrow was the most gentle and easy-going.

"what?"

Que Hongjin dropped the axe in his hand to the ground. He didn't care about anything else and quickly headed towards the river.

Qiao Suluo's expression changed, and she took off running towards the river.

Please, please don't let anyone die.
