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

Chapter 261 Male Jealousy

After surveying the terrain and the location of the mine, Ling Chengen began to mobilize manpower to mine. Because there were warriors with metal and earth elemental abilities, the construction of the mine went very smoothly and the safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, these mines are not absolutely safe, but with current technology, they have reached their limit.

Mining and city building were carried out simultaneously, and the technology to manufacture long-range artillery was not something that could be mastered in one go.

Ling Chengen was not skilled in weapons development; she was more familiar with using them. Creating something from scratch was a first for her, like a young woman getting married.

She doesn't have many people available for weapons development because there's a real lack of talent in this area on the Beast Plains.

While Ling Chengen was tinkering with the weapons, he returned to the territory of Shilin.

During the day, she would stay in the yard, pondering the ratio of gunpowder while also studying the structure of the cannon barrel for launching ammunition.

Seeing that she always looked disheveled and kept him away, Yuheng felt a pang of resentment and unease, like tiny claws scratching at his heart.

The more Ling Chengen forbade him to participate, the more he wanted to find out what she was up to.

Finally, he tried several times, and even secretly took some powder back with him. When he was grilling meat, he accidentally blew it up, burning off a large patch of his eyebrows and hair.

Looking at his half-eaten eyebrow and the tiny wounds on his face, Ling Chengen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't I tell you this thing is dangerous? You just wouldn't believe it!"

"A body weighing over 100 pounds contains 99 pounds of rebellious bones!"

Yu Heng rolled his eyes at her, then reached up to touch the stinging wound on his face, even touching a handful of blood.

God knows how long it's been since he last saw his own blood.

Unexpectedly, one day he was injured by a seemingly insignificant black powder.

Ling Chengen brought a basin of water and placed it on the washstand next to him: "Wash your wound first, and then use the healing spell."

Yuheng had injuries on his face, neck, and arms. Some of the blasted pebbles and wood chips were embedded directly in his wounds, and these needed to be cleaned out first.

Yuheng sat on the rock, his face covered in soot, and looked up as Ling Chengen made his move.

Shi Panxing sat back in his wheelchair. He had rushed out after hearing the explosion and was then confronted with this scene.

Ling Chengen glanced at Shi Panxing, who was clearly confused, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing you didn't come out with him today, otherwise your body, which hasn't fully recovered, would probably be in a weakened state again."

Shi Panxing looked at the mess of the shack. The kitchen that had been rebuilt earlier was directly affected by the explosion and collapsed. Now all the pots and pans in the house were buried under the broken beams of the shack.

"What on earth is going on?" he asked, puzzled.

Ling Chengen lowered his head, carefully picking up the fragments from Yu Heng's face with tweezers, and casually replied, "This guy was a rascal. He stole the gunpowder I made and casually put it next to the fire, and it got blown up."

Shi Panxing looked at the shack, still somewhat incredulous: "Just some powder?"

"Correct."

Shi Panxing exclaimed in shock, "This thing called gunpowder actually has such power?"

"Can it be used in the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen suddenly stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at Shi Panxing's eyes, which were usually lifeless but were now shining brightly: "You want to use this thing on your own kind?"

“I don’t recommend you do this. I’m making these to deal with the beast tide,” Ling Chengen said seriously. “These weapons are actually very cruel. Yu Heng just happened to get his hands on them, and since he’s a high-ranking warrior, after the gunpowder exploded, he was just pricked in the head and face with pebbles.”

"But if there's a lot of this stuff, it can easily blow a person's body to pieces."

"Moreover, gunpowder extinguishes when it comes into contact with water, so it can't be used in seawater, but it can be used to blast fish in ponds!"

"This thing needs fire to explode, so it definitely won't work in seawater."

Shi Panxing thought for a moment and said, "Since you say so, then it can be used."

Ling Chengen asked in shock, "When did I say that?"

She clearly said no.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Shi Panxing explained, "What I meant was that there can be fire in water too."

"There are also people among the sea race who have awakened fire-type abilities, but the proportion is extremely small and the level is not high, so they have always been marginalized. But in fact, there are still flames that can be ignited in water."

Ling Chengen: "The condition for igniting gunpowder powder is that the powder must be kept dry."

Shi Panxing said matter-of-factly, "What's so difficult about that? It just needs to be used in conjunction with a spatial container, right?"

Ling Chengen was completely dumbfounded: "You mean, put gunpowder powder into a spatial container, and then ignite the gunpowder directly in the spatial container to achieve an explosion effect in the sea?"

Shi Panxing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Ling Chengen: "..." She was actually a bit withdrawn.

While she was still researching gunpowder and cannon barrels, this guy went straight to the point and even came up with the idea of ​​underwater torpedoes.

The only difference is that this "torpedo" is housed in a space container.

It's a bit of a luxury!
fart--

Ling Chengen really wanted to curse at this moment. She had worked herself to the bone and finally managed to get a spatial container by robbing someone. She treasured it and kept it hidden away, but this prince of the sea tribe actually treated this thing as a disposable item.

This has caused her to continuously break down.

"Is this how you use a space container?" Ling Chengen laughed in exasperation, staring at him and asking in a cool tone.

Shi Panxing replied, "Why can't it be used like that?"

"And it doesn't necessarily have to be a spatial container. In fact, as long as the gunpowder powder and seawater can be separated, and it can be ignited inside, this thing will definitely explode, right?"

"Then we can make changes to the outer waterproof layer and the amount of gunpowder used inside."

Ling Chengen: "..." She really hadn't explained it in detail, but wasn't this person a little too smart?
Yu Heng had been staring at Ling Chengen for a long time. Seeing that she kept staring at Shi Panxing, he reached out and tapped her knee, squinting his eyes as he said, "What? My problem isn't serious enough, is it? It's not as serious as you chatting with him?"

Ling Chengen immediately continued treating the wound on his face, whispering, "I'm just shocked, aren't I?"

"Isn't this guy a little too smart?"

Yu Heng frowned and asked, "Am I stupid?"

Ling Chengen stared at his miserable face for a few seconds, remained silent for a moment, and finally shut his mouth and continued working.

Yuheng was instantly displeased. He tapped her knee with the sand hammer beside him and asked in a deep voice, "What does your silence mean? Do you agree?"

"Ling Chengen, how could I be so stupid?"

Ling Chengen pressed down on his shaking head, removed the pebbles from the skin on the side of his neck, and said speechlessly, "Don't shake it around, or the tweezers will poke your wound."

"Where did I agree? You're clearly overthinking it."

Yuheng: "Your expression clearly means you agree."

"You're just being unreasonable and making a fuss over nothing."

When a rather large pebble ripped from the skin above his collarbone, Yu Heng gasped in pain, hissing through gritted teeth. Yu Heng pinched her soft belly between his fingers and gave it a quick squeeze: "Fine, you'll remember this!"

"Are you naive or not?"

Ling Chengen pressed on his wound, causing him to stagger backward in pain.

Yuheng glared at her and said, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Ling Chengen looked up at Shi Panxing, threw the tweezers in his hand onto the tray, walked directly behind Shi Panxing, pushed his wheelchair to Yu Heng, and shoved the tweezers into his hand: "You do it."

"If you're so capable, try acting cute with him!"

After making the threats, Ling Chengen went to prepare alcohol and medicinal powder.

Although Yuheng may not necessarily need these things, it's better to be prepared.

That way, he won't start grumbling and complaining again.

Ling Chengen's actions left Yu Heng and Shi Panxing both stunned.

The two sat facing each other. Shi Panxing held the tweezers in his hand, looking somewhat at a loss. He turned his head and said, "I can't do it, you do it!"

Ling Chengen said without turning his head, "What do you mean you can't? You can use chopsticks to eat, right? This is much simpler than using chopsticks. Just grab the thing in the wound and pull it out. Don't worry about whether he's screaming or not!"

"If he insults you, stuff the dishcloth on the table into his mouth."

Ling Chengen said coldly and ruthlessly.

The two who remained in place looked at each other. Shi Panxing tried to reach out, but Yu Heng leaned back in disgust and kicked his wheelchair away, making no attempt to hide his differential treatment: "Don't touch me. I will never let anyone of the same sex touch my face."

Shi Panxing was silent for a few seconds, then put the tweezers back into the tray and said in a low voice, "What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

“We actually got along really well today,” Shi Panxing said quietly.

Yu Heng merely frowned slightly, his right hand lightly touching the side of his ear, and the debris embedded in his skin fell to the ground. As his palm brushed across his face, the dark red and gruesome wounds, which looked pitiful and even somewhat terrifying, completely healed, leaving only faint pink marks.

As the superpower washed over his body again, the pink scars quickly disappeared, restoring his skin to its previous smooth, flat, and fair state.

Shi Panxing tidied up the messy medical tools on the tray, turned his head and said, "Since you can handle it yourself, why do you insist on enduring the pain and bothering her to do it for you? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Yu Heng rolled his eyes, lay back, put his hands behind his head, and said, "You don't know anything! This is just marital fun."

Shi Panxing wasn't angry at being mocked. He shook his head and sighed, "I don't understand. Anyway, I just think you have masochistic tendencies or you're mentally ill."

Yuheng glanced at his wheelchair and threatened, "If you mock me again, I'll kick you and your wheelchair over."

Shi Panxing wasn't afraid at all and said, "You only know how to bully a sick person like me who can't even kill a chicken."

"If you want to stick to her, why don't you just tell her directly and follow her every time you go out?"

"Generally speaking, even the most reserved female cannot resist a male with perseverance and determination."

Yu Heng sneered, "You're comparing our woman to other females? You really underestimate her impartiality and heart of stone..."

Ling Chengen emerged from the cave, glanced at him, and said, "I can hear you!"

"If I were heartless, I shouldn't have helped you clean the small debris from your wounds when I knew you could treat them. I should have let you suffer to death."

Yuheng immediately sat up, raising an eyebrow and saying, "So, you still spoil me?"

Ling Chengen retorted, "Logically speaking, shouldn't you be the one spoiling me? I'm a female."

Yuheng smiled as he lay on his side on the rock, propping his chin up with one hand. His eyes remained deep and unfathomable, conveying a profound emotion when he looked at people.

“In our family, you are the head of the household.”

"Without your favoritism, I might not have a place in this family."

Ling Chengen: "Keep making excuses!"

"You can't make those decisions for me!"

Hearing footsteps, Ling Chengen glanced at Yu Shaochen, who was slowly walking back from outside, and pointed at him and Yu Heng, saying, "Look at Xiao Yu, and then look at yourself."

"A jealous and petty man!"

Ling Chengen was too lazy to continue this pointless conversation with him. He put the medicine on the tray and turned to clean up the collapsed kitchen.

I need to get this sorted out as soon as possible, otherwise I'll have to make do for dinner tonight.

She had worked hard all day and was looking forward to this meal to treat herself.

Yu Heng glanced at Yu Shaochen, who looked completely bewildered, and sighed softly.

Who can compare to this little panda!

In this household, several males were vying for power and influence, while the red panda seemed detached from everything, remaining calm and collected throughout.

Yuheng also couldn't understand this person with a baby face and a very mild and cautious personality.

It doesn't seem like he dislikes it.

It doesn't seem like he likes Ling Chengen.

Yuheng considered himself to be very observant and sensitive in this area, but he never felt that way from beginning to end.

I always felt that Yu Shaochen simply admired, or rather, believed in, Ling Chengen.

He did not treat her as a partner, and did not want to get closer to her or have more contact with her, or even engage in some ambiguous behavior.

He seemed to only want to follow her, stay by her side, try his best to keep up with her pace, do what he could to do well, and share her burdens.

Strictly speaking, he actually trusted Ling Chengen even more blindly than Wu Zhuo.

This is definitely not how couples should interact.

However, Yu Shaochen did occupy one of Ling Chengen's beast husband positions, and coupled with his petite and cute appearance, he was very likable, so Yu Heng was unsure what Ling Chengen's feelings were for him.

Currently, everyone is living in peace, but Yuheng always feels that this balance might be broken one day.

Given Yu Shaochen's personality, he would likely suffer a great loss if he tried to compete with the others.

He is not someone who easily sympathizes with his opponents, but Yu Shaochen's character is indeed impeccable.

This little panda orc has always been kind to others and rarely shows his personal emotions. Among male orcs who are generally influenced by their animalistic nature, he is definitely one of the more stable ones.

Such a person is like the recently harvested iridescent fruit fluff.

Even those who are competitive are reluctant to bully him, because it doesn't give them any sense of accomplishment and doesn't satisfy their secret desire to win.

It's really a headache.
