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

Chapter 28 The Wife's Favoritism
Ling Chengen hung up the straw curtain, allowing a faint light to penetrate into the cave.

The light-emitting grass inside the cave was still glowing, and the light fell on the faces of the three people inside.

Yu Shaochen had somehow transformed back into his beast form and buried himself in the middle of his unfinished pile of luggage. His body was covered by fallen animal hides and straw, leaving only his round head sticking out. He was sleeping soundly with the back of his head facing the cave entrance.

Chongzhen lay flat on the grass mat in the corner, his right arm pressed against his eyes, covered with an animal skin blanket, his injured leg hanging out of the blanket, his slender ankle pressing down on the tail of a red panda that emerged from the garbage heap.

Ling Chengen ignored the two sleeping soundly, took a clean animal skin, walked to Su Weihua's bedside, whose right eye was bloodshot and who looked like a madman, and directly reached out and lifted the animal skin blanket covering him.

Su Weihua's eyes were bloodshot, and she tried to raise her hand to stop her, but her arm fell heavily back onto the hay.

"roll--"

With his body completely exposed to the world, the snow wolf, with his strong sense of pride, simply could not accept it. Especially when he realized that the dry grass beneath him was soaked, he even had the extreme thought of committing suicide on the spot.

Seeing that he was trying to lift his head and smash the stone bed with the back of his head, Ling Chengen immediately grabbed his neck and pressed his head back onto the hay, saying in a low voice, "I know you're embarrassed, but don't rush to kill yourself."

"If you take good care of your injuries, they can heal completely. It will be a bit troublesome at first, but you'll get through it."

"I didn't beg you to save me—"

Su Weihua's eyes were filled with despair, and her voice was hoarse and grating, like a demon crawling out of hell.

“You didn’t beg us to save you, but you’ve suffered so much torment in the Snow Wolf Tribe without trying to kill yourself. Isn’t that because there’s someone in the Snow Wolf Tribe you care about, and that person has become their weakness in controlling you?”

"If you die, won't the situation become even more difficult for the people you care about in the Snow Wolf tribe?"

Su Weihua stared intently at Ling Chengen, but the latter clearly didn't care about his gaze or attitude.

Ling Chengen leisurely pulled away the damp grass beneath him, then suddenly turned to look at the corner, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Why are you staring at me?"

"You're really perceptive; I just opened my eyes."

Chongzhen propped herself up and sat up, then nudged Yu Shaochen, who was sleeping sprawled out on his back, with her toes.

Just as Shao Chen was groggily waking up, before he could fully open his eyes, a fur skirt fell from the sky and covered his forehead.

"Hurry up and put on your animal skin skirt so you can go help Ling Chengen," Chongzhen urged.

Yu Shaochen, quick-witted, immediately climbed out of the luggage, wrapped the animal skin skirt around his waist, then returned to human form, quickly tied the rope around his waist, stepped over the half-collapsed bundle, and jumped to Ling Chengen's side.

"I'll do it, my wife, you go ahead and do your work."

Ling Chengen handed the wet animal hide to Yu Shaochen, asking him to clean Su Weihua.

She turned and walked towards Chongzhen, picked him up and carried him outside.

Chongzhen: "..."

"Can't you be a little gentler with me? I still have a wound on my stomach."

"Hasn't the wound on your abdomen already healed?" Ling Chengen placed the person next to the stone stove and told him to quickly start a fire to cook the medicine.

Chongzhen looked down at her abdomen and asked in shock, "When did this happen?"

Last night, he still had two red, throbbing cuts on his abdomen, the skin and flesh still raw and painful.

To my surprise, the wound on my abdomen had already scabbed over when I woke up the next morning.

Ling Chengen began preparing the meat for breakfast, and with his back to Chongzhen, who was groping around with his hands, he said, "Did Yu Shaochen use a healing spell on you last night?"

Chongzhen turned to look at the empty cave entrance, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Ling Chengen, I must say your father has a good eye for talent.”

Ling Chengen rolled her eyes at him: "Do you need to tell me that?"

"You're really lucky to have picked up a timid and obedient wood-type ability beastman for free. If you train him well in the future, he might become a great help."

Ling Chengen stuffed a burning piece of firewood into the stove hole in front of him and stared at him for three seconds: "You're just jealous, aren't you? Jealous that your Yaoluo tribe can't easily win over beastmen with superpowers." "Although Yu Shaochen is timid, he's not without temper."

"Also, stop bullying him behind his back."

"If I find out, you're finished!"

Chongzhen raised his hand and took her fingers in his, slowly moving them away from her nose. He smiled faintly and said, "My lady is joking. How could I possibly bully him!"

"Although you're biased, I'm an upright orc and I won't bully the weak."

Ling Chengen withdrew his index finger in disgust and snorted, "An upright fox? It's quite novel to put those two words together."

"If you're feeling well today, once your powers are restored, you can first observe where around here is suitable for planting potatoes. After you've determined the location, I'll have the tribe's earth-type power warriors dig up the land first."

Chongzhen was taken aback: "Aren't you going to wait until I'm healed before doing it?"

"By the time you recover from your injury, you will have already missed the best time for planting."

Ling Chengen took all the cooked potatoes out of the pot, poured out all the water, added water again, and started making egg drop soup.

Do you know how to make egg drop soup?

Ling Chengen placed the bamboo basket containing wild eggs at Chongzhen's feet and pointed to the stone pot, saying, "After the water starts to boil, crack the eggs open, pour the egg liquid directly into the water, and stir it slowly with a spoon."

Chongzhen held an egg in her hand and asked, "How many do you want?"

He had seen Ling Chengen make egg drop soup before; it didn't seem difficult.

Three will suffice.

Ling Chengen looked at him uncertainly: "Really? If you waste a whole pot of soup, you won't get a single drop today."

"I'm not stupid. Just do what you did yesterday, right?" Chongzhen assured him confidently.

Although Ling Chengen hesitated a bit, he still busied himself with grilling the meat he would eat this morning.

There are still too few potatoes, so we can't keep eating them as a staple food. In addition, the family is full of large carnivorous beastmen, so their demand for meat is very high, and we need to roast a lot of meat every meal.

Grilling meat isn't difficult, it's just that grilling too much at once is a hassle.

Moreover, she wasn't a professional chef; her cooking was just passable. In the past, she would just give the menu herself, and there were skilled cooks in the guard unit.

Looking back now, she really misses the personal guard she personally trained.

Everyone has a unique skill, so she doesn't need to worry about them from beginning to end.

After securing the meat to the rack, Ling Chengen finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned the meat over the fire.

The morning light was just beginning to break, and the sky was already tinged with a faint pink hue.

In another half hour, the sun will be almost up below the horizon.

Hopefully, we can make it in time.

The firewood crackled and popped as Ling Chengen stared at the roasting meat and asked Chongzhen, who was not far away, "Do you know where the lake water on the Beast Plains is salty? Or are there any salty lakes with white crystals?"

Chongzhen rested his chin on his hand, thought for a while, and shook his head, saying, "There are definitely none around here. I've only just turned seventeen and have been hunting with the tribe for less than a year. I haven't actually been to any very far places."

"But if you're talking about lakes, you'll have to ask the bird-like beastmen who like to hunt by the water."

"Well, weren't you supposed to be going to the Hanshan tribe today to discuss cooperation?"

"Just ask them. Large flying beastmen like the Moonfeathered Azure Crane mainly hunt in the lakes and rivers of the wasteland. No one knows the distribution of water areas in the Northern Wilderness Beast Plains better than them."

The retest has passed; you can continue writing.
