The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 10 Late-Night Chats with Roommates
After the temperature dropped at night, Ling Chengen helped Chongzhen back to the cave and suddenly realized a serious problem.

Chongzhen lives in this cave, where will she sleep tonight?

She stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at the location of the grass mat, lost in thought. Before she could come up with a solution, the system excitedly chuckled wickedly.

"A new strategy mission has been released: two people alone in a room for six hours, reward 10 energy points."

Ling Chengen felt a headache coming on as she listened to the chattering in her head. Before she could say anything, Chongzhen, who had half her weight on her shoulder, spoke up.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Ling Chengen expressionlessly helped him to the grass mat, looked at the dark cave, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave. "You should rest first."

Chongzhen watched her retreating figure without calling out to her.

Their relationship was not as simple as that of orcs who had just become partners. Suddenly being in the same room and even having to sleep in the same place made them both very awkward.

However, having just taken the medicine, his injuries were still quite severe, so he didn't have much energy to think about where Ling Chengen would stay that night. He lay on the straw mat for a short while before drifting off to sleep.

Ling Chengen spread a large pile of dry grass next to the original straw mat, then went out to take a cold shower. After drying his hair by the fire, he returned to the cave.

Lying on the newly spread hay, she felt uncomfortable all over.

There was an unfamiliar presence beside her, which kept her from falling asleep.

She put her hands behind her head, thinking to herself how many things she had to do next.

The light grass grown in the caves of the Yaoluo tribe is quite good. We can transplant some back so that we won't have to work in the dark at night anymore.

The straw mat also needs to be replaced. This cave needs two beds, and it would be best to have curtains to separate her living area from Chongzhen's.

Or dig another hole.

But living in a cave is not very comfortable, because there is no door, only a straw curtain for barely any privacy, and when the wind blows, there is no privacy at all.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the problem with the straw mats is not yet apparent.

When the cold season comes, this thing won't keep you warm at all, and it might even freeze you to death.

After thinking about a lot of things, Ling Chengen suddenly turned over and lay on his side facing Chongzhen, staring intently at Chongzhen, who had her eyes closed, her lips slightly parted, and was making soft breathing sounds.

"Are you asleep?" she suddenly asked.

Lying on the grass mat, Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly misty with sleepiness. He turned his head slightly to look at the female beastman a meter away.

He remained silent for a long time, but his open eyes had already given the answer.

When will your injury be fully healed?

Ling Chengen rested his head on his left arm, his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

Orcs have a very strong self-healing ability, so she couldn't use her past experience to estimate Chongzhen's recovery progress.

In addition, the witch doctor used a wood-based healing spell on him, an ability she had only ever seen the witch doctor use before, so she didn't know how powerful it was.

Chongzhen raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose and yawned, her eyelashes fluttering slightly: "It will take at least half a month for the wound to fully heal."

Because a large piece of necrotic flesh had been removed from his leg, the treatment only stopped the bleeding, but the skin and flesh needed time to grow back.

"Did you use your earth-based abilities primarily for combat?"

"Pretty much, but my attack ability is relatively weak; I mainly serve as a defender. Besides that, I can also dig caves. The caves in the Yaoluo tribe were dug by me."

Chongzhen held nothing back from his abilities, mainly because his ability level was relatively high among his peers, but it was no match for those top-tier orcs.

Especially when facing Ling Xiao, he couldn't even get close to Ling Xiao before being subdued by the opponent in one blow.

This is not an exaggeration, because he actually tried it not long ago. Ling Xiao dared to force the Yaoluo tribe to hand him over to be Ling Chengen's beast husband because he was extremely confident that he was no match for the Ling family father and daughter.

Ling Chengen raised his eyes and said, "I heard that your ability level is level six?"

"Yeah, I just reached level six this year."

"Do you know how to grow plants?" Ling Chengen asked.

Chongzhen looked at her, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Those luminous herbs in the caves of the Medicine Tree tribe, were they transplanted back by you?"

Chongzhen nodded, propped himself up, and looked down at her face: "Yes, you like light grass?"

“I am interested in light grass, but my biggest interest is whether you can grow anything.”

Ling Chengen sat up directly from the haystack, sat cross-legged on the spot, and looked him straight in the eye.

"You should also know very well that it is very difficult to support all the orcs in a tribe by hunting alone. Every year when the cold season arrives, a large number of orcs die, mainly cubs, elderly orcs, and females with weaker constitutions."

Chongzhen nodded: "This is a very common situation on the Beast Plains, and it has been like this for thousands of years."

"So I need to change this situation. At least we can't rely solely on hunting for food. You had mashed potatoes today, how was that?"

"It's filling and tastes great."

Chongzhen leaned against the stone wall, lowering his eyes and thinking quietly. He already understood what she wanted to say.

"You want to grow this fruit called potato?"

Ling Chengen nodded: "This fruit has a high yield and is easy to store, especially during the cold season. With such a food source available during the cold season when prey is extremely scarce, at least not so many orcs will starve to death..."

Chongzhen suddenly looked up, and light slowly appeared in her eyes.

"Are you serious?"

Ling Chengen crossed his arms in front of him, tilted his chin slightly, and snorted, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

“But I don’t know how to grow this kind of thing,” Chongzhen said.

Ling Chengen: "If you don't know how to plant it, can't you learn? I'll teach you."

"Where did you learn all this from?" Chongzhen still couldn't understand why the evil female who was being talked about so much would know so much rare knowledge.

Ling Chengen lay back down on the straw mat: "You don't need to worry about where I found out. Just tell me if you can do it or not."

It felt as if a fire was burning in Chongzhen's heart, and he was eager to try.

"I'll try after I recover, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed."

This is an excellent thing. If we can really harvest a large amount of fruit and store it for a long time during the cold season, it will definitely be a sensational event throughout the entire Beast Plains.

Ling Chengen, having received a satisfactory answer, pulled the animal skin blanket next to him onto his stomach, kicked his legs, and closed his eyes: "Alright, the night chat is over, time to sleep."

She fell asleep very quickly. Chongzhen thought that since the two of them were alone in the same cave, she would toss and turn for a while. But before long, he heard her long, even breathing.

Looking down, I saw that the person who had just been full of energy was now sleeping peacefully with their arms outstretched.

Chongzhen sat for a while before lying down again, but he couldn't help but keep his gaze fixed on her face.

What kind of female is she?
As the two slept soundly in the darkness, the system finally let out a low laugh and decisively added the newly collected photos to its favorites.

This time, it will definitely be able to complete the mission of protecting love and redeem itself!
