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

Chapter 267 Not worthy of her
Ling Chengen casually brushed his hand away and warned, "Behave yourself and don't touch me, or you'll be sleeping in your room tonight."

Yuheng immediately lay back down in his original position, pulled the warm blanket up to his neck, closed his eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that he was pretending to be asleep, Ling Chengen lay down himself and asked softly, "Can Shi Panxing really do it?"

“It will definitely work. Why don’t you ask him directly tomorrow?” Yu Heng opened his eyes and looked at the roof above. “Since he came to Beiyuan, he has basically been receiving treatment and recuperating. He stays in the same place every day and doesn’t even have many opportunities to get up and move around. He’s probably tired of staying here. Why not let him go out for a walk and do some work for you while he’s at it?”

Ling Chengen tilted his head and said, "Are you worried about his mental state?"

"I'm worried about him?" Yuheng couldn't help but scoff. "Do you think I'm such a kind person?"

He simply didn't want to face that expressionless, grumpy face every day; after seeing it for months, he was really fed up.

Being able to get rid of him and avoid seeing him is a good thing for him.

Ling Chengen closed his eyes and said speechlessly, "I didn't ask any more questions."

"If you've decided to appoint him as the leader of the team entering the Red Land, when do you plan to arrange for him to depart?"

Ling Chengen thought for a moment and then asked, "When do you think it will snow in Beiyuan?"

Yuheng said thoughtfully, "Based on the weather in previous years, it will be at the latest a month from now. Every year before November, it will definitely snow in Beiyuan."

"Therefore, we don't have much time to prepare. Once it's decided, we'll set off immediately."

"After all, going early and returning early is the best for us."

Yuheng: "Then you should tell him tomorrow to leave a day later. I'll make some portable medicine tomorrow so that even if we encounter any problems on the way, it will at least help us for a while."

If we don't need it, that would be even better.

……

As Yu Heng had expected, Shi Panxing agreed after Ling Chengen had only said the beginning.

Yuheng stood in front of the table, his back to the two of them, and was preparing new medicine with his head down.

Hearing Shi Panxing's reply, she smiled and said, "I knew he would agree."

Shi Panxing looked up at his backlit figure and said, "If I refuse, I'm afraid you'll try something drastic with me."

This witch doctor in front of me doesn't seem to have much of a conscience.

Ling Chengen stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "You can still hear what Yuheng and I talked about last night, right?"

Shi Panxing sat back in his wheelchair, staring at her face in astonishment.

Yuheng wasn't embarrassed at all, and snorted, "Shameless."

Shi Panxing: "..."

"I didn't mean to. This is just how my ability is. I can sense any movement within a certain range. Unless I'm fast asleep or in a deep coma, I can always hear sounds."

Seeing his somewhat embarrassed expression and his fairly sincere apology, Ling Chengen rested his elbow on the table, turned to Yu Heng and said, "It seems that after moving into the city, we still need to live a bit further away from the hospital."

"How wide is the range of your perception when you don't deliberately use your abilities?"

Shi Panxing was unsure whether to tell the truth. After a moment's thought, he cautiously replied, "Currently, the area where most of your tribe's people live is within my perception range. But further away, many sounds are intertwined, making it difficult to hear clearly. However, I can clearly perceive the space in front of your house, the small river in front, and the edge of the forest a little further ahead."

Ling Chengen nodded and said, "That's alright."

However, Shi Panxing's special ability is really a bit cheating.

"What hospital are you talking about?"

Yuheng noticed the new vocabulary, put down what he was doing, and turned to look at Ling Chengen with curiosity.

“A place for healing and saving lives.” Ling Chengen pointed to the small cave in front of him. “Although you are not a helpful witch doctor, you are still a proper doctor, and you are very famous in both the North and South Beast Plains.”

“Once news of your presence in Beast City spreads, there will definitely be many seriously injured patients like Shi Panxing coming to seek medical treatment. We can’t keep using our home as a place to receive the wounded and sick, can we?”

Ling Chengen analyzed with him, "Moreover, your medical skills are among the best in the Northern Wilderness. The Northern Wilderness has a significant weakness in the medical field. If Beast City expands outwards, or clashes with those who covet it, or encounters a large-scale beast tide, you alone certainly won't be able to treat everyone. You don't like staying by the patients' side every day, do you? Why not consider personally leading a group of people out..."

Yu Heng leaned back on the long medicine table, lowering his eyes and thinking for a long time: "What you said makes some sense, but the problem is that the healing ability of a witch doctor is mostly linked to the level of his superpower. There are already few high-level warriors in the Northern Wilderness, and high-level wood-type warriors are even rarer..."

Ling Chengen raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know Xuan Yan?"

"It is said that he was exiled from the Beast King City of the Southern Plains. He used to be a high-level wood-type warrior, but now his ability level is constantly declining and is currently maintained at the tenth level."

Yu Heng's eyelids twitched slightly, and he sneered, "Never heard of it."

Seeing his instantly gloomy expression, Ling Chengen knew he was lying. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Did he persecute you?"

Yuheng raised his eyes and glared at her. Seeing her composed expression, he knew that this matter was unlikely to be fooled.

He said in a deep voice, "I have never met him, but I have heard of his name."

"Didn't I mention to you before that the beastmen of Shangqing Forest Valley, in order to stimulate their superpowers, ultimately chose to exploit our Fuqing Clan to make potions to assist the awakening of superpowers in those ordinary beastmen? In the Southern Plains, besides our Fuqing Clan who have naturally powerful wood-type superpowers, the only other one is the Xuan Clan who migrated from Sancha Baishui City to Beast King City."

"The Xuan Clan?" Ling Chengen tapped his fingertip lightly on the table twice. "So, those potions were developed by the Xuan Clan?"

Yu Heng nodded, his expression turning cold, and said, "Xuan Yan is the most talented heir of their clan, but not the only one."

“He was young at the time and had not been involved in the affairs of the Fuqing Clan and medicine, so he probably did not know that I was a member of the Fuqing Clan.”

"But the entire Xuan clan deserves to die."

Ling Chengen blinked, feeling a slight headache.

Of all times, she made the mistake of recruiting Xuan Yan into the government...

Yu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did you run into the Xuan clan members who were exiled to the Northern Plains on your trip? And you even recruited them into your hunting team?"

Ling Chengen felt a chill run down his spine; Yu Heng was sometimes too perceptive and not easily fooled.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a moment, Yuheng sneered, "Just as I thought!"

"Ling Chengen, you're really something else."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen didn't back down at all and retorted, "You never told me before that you have a grudge against the Xuan clan! You have so many enemies, why don't you make a list and I'll help you deal with them if I run into them in the future."

"I did indeed recruit Xuan Yan into the hunting team. I need him, so you can't touch him!"

Yuheng threw the dried plant root he was holding onto the table, his face darkening noticeably: "Are you deliberately siding with outsiders? To you, I'm not even as good as a good-for-nothing with no future?"

Shi Panxing glanced at Yu Heng, then at Ling Chengen, and felt it wasn't convenient to interrupt.

Why did these two suddenly start arguing?
baffling.

Ling Chengen frowned and said, "That's not how things are calculated, and aren't you taking sides with outsiders?"

Turning inwards, what is that thing?

It's either a fracture or a deformity.

Yuheng was amused by her rebuttal: "You're still arguing with me?"

Ling Chengen said righteously, "You're taking your anger out on me."

Seeing that the two were getting angry, Shi Panxing waved his hand between them and said, "Can you listen to me for a second?"

"you shut up!"

The two spoke in unison, turning their heads to glare at Shi Panxing.

Shi Panxing looked completely bewildered, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "..."

What did he do to deserve this?!
This couple is a powder keg!
"Ling Chengen, if you want to use him, don't even think about using me."

Yu Heng was too lazy to play along and threatened her directly. Ling Chengen was a little angry at his attitude, but when he turned and left the cave, he just rubbed his forehead to suppress his rising anger, and looked up at Shi Panxing and said: "I'll leave the crossing and mining to you. I'll go to Hanshan in a while and ask Bai Xi to borrow a few people."

"Is there anything else you need? You'd better tell me now so I can prepare it for you immediately, since you may be leaving tomorrow."

Shi Panxing thought for a moment and said, "I need a ship. Can you build ships?"

Ling Chengen frowned and said, "No."

To be precise, very few of the tribes in the northern plains knew how to build ships.

Ling Chengen has been here for so long, but he has never seen this thing before.

During the rainy season when floods occur, only orcs who can swim or whose animal form can move in the water can go to the rescue.

Shi Panxing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "I remember your tribe has that kind of wood that has been dried and coated with tung oil?"

"There are quite a few, because they will be used for city building, so a batch will be sent away every once in a while."

Shi Panxing thought for a while and said, "I want that. I need a lot of it, enough wood to build a ship, and that kind of material similar to cloud-cloth, probably in large quantities, because it will be used to make sails. Also, a certain number of strong ropes, two metal-type warriors, and four earth-type warriors, all of level five or higher."

"that's it?"

Ling Chengen was taking notes, planning to get these things done soon.

"Prepare plenty of fresh water, and it would be best to prepare several wooden buckets."

"One with better sealing."

"Should we bring food too?" Ling Chengen asked.

"Bringing some is enough; there's no shortage of food in the sea."

“The problem is that we land-dwelling orcs are not good at hunting in the sea,” Ling Chengen reminded him.

“With me, they won’t go hungry at sea,” Shi Panxing said confidently. “Although my legs are crippled, my superpowers are still there.”

"Alright, you want these things? You're planning to build a ship? You can even do that?"

Shi Panxing looked up at her without saying a word.

Ling Chengen then realized that his eyes were very deep, and when he stared at people quietly, it gave people a creepy feeling of having their bones and flesh peeled away and being seen through inch by inch.

So she only looked at him for a moment before looking away.

Shi Panxing noticed her discomfort, lowered his eyes, and put on his usual harmless appearance, saying, "Although the months I spent being kidnapped to Nanyuan were all painful for me, it is undeniable that I saw a lot of things. When I was unable to resist, there was nothing else I could do but observe and analyze."

Ling Chengen said with admiration, "...You're really a ruthless person."

“There are boats in Nanyuan, and their land-dwelling orcs can also go out to sea, but they won’t go too far.” Shi Panxing explained slowly and methodically. “Before this, I didn’t actually know that there were things that could carry land-dwelling orcs into the sea to hunt.”

Ling Chengen asked, "Aren't there many large sea monsters in the sea? No matter how big or sturdy a ship is built, it can't withstand a single attack from a sea monster, right?"

Shi Panxing pondered for a moment and said, "There is still a way to drive away the sea beasts."

Ling Chengen exclaimed in shock, "Why didn't you say something like this sooner? Wait, why didn't Shi Ruoan mention it at all? Aren't we allies anymore?"

“He doesn’t know,” Shi Panxing defended Shi Ruoan. “This method was probably devised by the sea tribes who cooperated with the Southern Plains beastmen. I still need to find another opportunity to observe it. In short, this time I will master the shipbuilding technology there, as well as the methods to drive away large sea beasts.”

Learning to build ships is not difficult.

He possesses spatial abilities, allowing him to clearly see the overall spatial structure of a ship. In addition, his high level and powerful memory mean he can replicate any material exactly.

Ling Chengen admired his strong ambition; there was nothing else to say about it.

Once she was sure that Shi Panxing had no other needs, she got up and left the cave.

Not long after she left, Yuheng returned to the cave.

Shi Panxing sat in his wheelchair, playing with a bow and arrow he had taken from the wall.

The large bow was taken by Ling Chengen from Ling Xiao. After taking it, he never returned it. Ling Xiao knew that this handy weapon was like throwing good money after bad, so he never thought of getting it back.

Seeing Yu Heng walk in from outside, Shi Panxing hooked the bowstring of the beast sinew with his finger, lowered his eyes and said, "Do you really hate that beastman named Xuan Yan?"

Yu Heng suddenly turned his head and glared at him: "Do you want to die?"

"I just think it's a bit strange that you took your anger out on her."

Yu Heng returned to his original position and continued preparing the medicine. After a while, he said, "The talents of the Xuan clan are not so simple. They are deeply trusted by the royal family and entrusted with important responsibilities. They all hold high positions and great power. Even if they really make a mistake, the royal family will never easily exile them to the Northern Plains."

"Because they simply cannot leave Namwon alive."

"The Xuan family, as the royal family's personal healers for generations, are very familiar with the royal family's physical structure and weaknesses."

“Besides the native inhabitants, the rest of the people in the Northern Wilderness are all orcs who have been exiled for offending nobles and royalty. They know the value of the Xuan clan better than anyone else and would never allow such important talents to flow into the heart of the Northern Wilderness.”

"If they can obtain the weaknesses of the royal family from the Xuan clan, they might unite with other restless nobles in the Southern Plains and begin to attack the royal family that has been oppressing them for hundreds of years."

"The Xuan Yan she mentioned, either his identity is fake."

"Or he might be hiding a huge secret, plotting something in Kitahara..."

Yu Heng's eyes were sharp as he quietly looked at Shi Panxing: "You've been there for several months, so you should know the situation of the Southern Plains witch doctor better than anyone else."

"Enen, she's thinking too simply. She always places those orcs with tragic backgrounds and who have been persecuted in the position of the weak, never sparing her care and sympathy. But in reality... not all of these orcs who have suffered hardships are so deserving of sympathy."

"Tell me, am I right?"

Yu Heng stared coldly at Shi Panxing.

Shi Panxing remained silent for a while, then suddenly lifted his eyelids and said, "Are you targeting me?"

"Don't use that face of yours, or that feigned brokenness, to get close to Enen." Yuheng didn't mince words with him, saying coldly and bluntly, "She's a good person, kind-hearted, and compassionate."

"And you are not good enough for her!"

"I treated your body, so I know your condition better than anyone else."

"I only agreed to save you because your ability is special and has some use, and because Enen also wanted to use you. I didn't mention to anyone what you went through..."

Shi Panxing's eyes had clearly turned cold, his right hand gripping the armrest of the wheelchair, and a large amount of blood seeping from under his fingernails.

Are you threatening me with this?

Yu Heng had already withdrawn his gaze and said coldly, "You can think of it that way."

"Do what you're supposed to do."

"After your injuries heal, returning to the far north to reclaim everything will be your final destination."

Shi Panxing's experience was indeed tragic.

But he is not a weakling.

In order to survive, they used their advantages to compromise in that environment.

That's right.

But he couldn't use the same methods he used on other females on Enen.

He had too many contract marks left by noble females of the Southern Plains on his body. Although he had removed the flesh with those contract marks, they were not completely gone. Yu Heng noticed this when he treated him and helped him remove those deep-seated contract marks.

He doesn't have a penchant for reopening old wounds, unless the other person starts to covet his partner.

Male merfolk are really annoying.
