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

Chapter 36 Slap in the Face on the Spot
After parting ways with Chongzhen and the others, Ling Chengen first caught a few prey before heading home to pack some things, planning to set off for the Misty Swamp this afternoon.

Yu Shaochen prepared a bamboo basket of fresh berries for her, with two big, red apples on top of the basket.

He sat on the rock, watching Ling Chengen busily preparing a bone blade about an arm's length long, and then picked up a short gun that was placed on a shelf on the stone wall. The spearhead of this weapon was black and gold.

The gun's tip was made of metal, but the grip was made of wood.

Ling Chengen tried it in his hand and found that the wood used as the handle was very tough, no less so than the metal of the spearhead.

It must be wood unique to the Beast World, carefully selected and polished by Lingxiao.

Several crooked animal characters were carved on the wooden handle. Ling Chengen half guessed that this wooden gun was a sixteenth birthday gift that Ling Xiao had prepared for his daughter.

Unfortunately, the original owner never used it.

Su Weihua had been asleep for a day. After being awakened by Ling Chengen's noise, she turned her head and watched her pack her luggage without saying a word.

Yu Shaochen couldn't offer any help either. He simply turned to look at the three pieces of prey lying on the rocky beach and asked, "My lady, would you like me to process the prey outside, roast it, and take some with you?"

Ling Chengen shook his head: "That's for you. It would be nice if you skinned the game this afternoon and bled it. You can roast the meat yourselves tonight, but remember to prepare a lot for my father."

"Just do it my way."

Yu Shaochen remained calm: "So you're going to the Misty Swamp alone?"

Ling Chengen planned to go on her own. She hadn't inherited much of the original owner's memories, and in the past two days she had only remembered a little bit, which wasn't of much use.

The original owner didn't have any particularly close friends, except for a fifteen-year-old follower named Wu Zhuo.

There are very few flying orcs in the Stone Forest tribe, only three households.

Wuzhuo counts as one household.

The Leisan family has the largest population.

But Resang is part of the hunting team. Although Resang's mother is a superhuman beastman, she was seriously injured in the past and is not suitable for long-distance flight. She spends most of her time at home taking care of her cubs.

Leisan's mate is also a Silverhorn Night Owl, and he usually goes out during the day with other female orcs in the tribe to collect supplies.

Because she is one of the few flying orcs in the tribe, she is mainly responsible for early warning of the gathering team. Currently, she leads only three small flying orcs, so she cannot go on long trips with Ling Chengen.

The three small flying orcs under their command were a family of Blue-bellied Peregrine Falcons.

This flying beast is too small to carry her over long distances, so it can be ruled out.

After considering all the options, the only choice she had was to accept Bai Qingyu's suggestion or go by herself.

But this morning, while waiting at the entrance of the Hanshan tribe, she used her spiritual power to hear what Bai Yun and Bai Qingyu were talking about.

The breeding season for the white-feathered takin is almost here.

If we're lucky, we might be able to avoid the time she's spending hunting snake lizards in the Misty Swamp.

But if we're unlucky, it'll probably only be a matter of the next few days.

Therefore, the hunting teams of the Hanshan tribe have recently been divided into three groups, with the three Bai Qingyu brothers taking turns leading the hunt.

The remaining orcs of the Cold Mountain tribe are almost all staying in their lair, dealing with the difficult breeding season.

She and Chongzhen had inquired about the orcs' breeding season.

Most orcs have a breeding period that lasts from seven days to a month, the length of which depends on their orc-like race.

However, a small number of races have unique breeding seasons and are not included in this range.

Female orcs are also affected by the breeding season, but not as severely as male orcs.

Male orcs who are in their breeding season and lack a mate to comfort them will become more irritable.

Orcs, especially those with larger animal forms, may find it difficult to control their behavior and can only relieve the stress of the breeding season by constantly fighting.

It's like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Ling Chengen's goal was to hunt snake lizards, and he didn't want to find a teammate who was unstable or might even be a hindrance.

Therefore, she ultimately decided to go to the Misty Swamp alone and return quickly.

After wrapping the short gun and bone blade in animal hide, Ling Chengen stuffed the two apples prepared by Yu Shaochen into his backpack, filled a jar with some fine salt, and set off.

Yu Shaochen stood on the rock, watching her disappear into the lush grass of the wasteland before turning back with a worried expression. When the hunting party returned that evening, Ling Xiao listened to Yu Shaochen's words and remained silent for a long time.

Chongzhen hesitated and asked, "Are you really not going to arrange for someone to go with her?"

Ling Xiao sighed: "Enen's combat ability is actually not a problem, I'm just worried that she might get stuck in the swamp, that would be more troublesome."

"Actually, if she's willing to bring Wu Zhuo along, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Wu Zhuo was squatting on the ground gnawing on roasted meat when he suddenly interjected, "Then I'll finish eating and set off right away. I'm sure I can catch up with Sister En before she enters the misty area."

Ling Xiao quickly shook his head, ladled a bowl of soup for Wu Zhuo, and looked at Wu Zhuo's still chubby face, warning him repeatedly: "You are not allowed to go out alone, nor are you allowed to chase after Enen."

"Chief, I can do it."

"What can you do?"

Looking at this ambitious but foolish eagle cub, Ling Xiao said with a headache, "Not only do you not have any special abilities, but you haven't even mastered physical skills and beast-form attack abilities. You're not even a third as strong as Enen."

Sending you on your own is like sending you to your death.

Flying orcs are not without danger. There are even larger flying beasts in this wasteland that don't care whether someone is an orc or not; they will prey on them if they come across them.

Once encountered, Wu Zhuo has no chance of escape.

Moreover, the further north you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

There are also more inferior beasts over there, so the probability of encountering them is greater.

Wu Zhuo's eyes widened as he defended himself, saying, "My strength is clearly half that of Sister En."

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes speechlessly: "That was Enen who let you have it."

Wu Zhuo was furious this time: "..."

Although he knew he wasn't particularly strong, he couldn't be this weak, could he?

The clan chief looked down on him too much.

However... he really didn't dare to run north alone, because he had real experience of being preyed upon by large flying beasts.

Last autumn, he followed his sister En north for a while, intending to challenge even more powerful beasts.

The mission got off to a bad start when he was ambushed from behind by a small winged dragon that suddenly appeared, and his wing was bitten on the spot.

If it weren't for his sister's quick reaction, striking the little winged dragon beast's neck directly with her bone blade high in the sky, his grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

Ling Xiao finally made the decision: "I'll go find Lei Sang tomorrow morning and ask him to go after En En and help her out."

The next day, before dawn, a moon-feathered blue crane gracefully landed at Ling Xiao's doorstep.

A few slender, flowing moon feathers adorned the top of Qinghe's head, their tips shimmering with a dreamy purple. Her clear, bright eyes looked at Ling Xiao, who was preparing to leave, and she asked, "Clan Chief Ling, I arranged to go to the Misty Swamp with Young Clan Chief Ling. Has she set off yet?"

Ling Xiao stared blankly at the polite and elegant Qing He, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said softly, "Have you really discussed it with En En?"

"Hmm." Bai Qingyu nodded slightly.

Ling Xiao noticed his increasingly subtle expression. After a few seconds of hesitation, he confessed, "But Enen left yesterday afternoon."

Bai Qingyu blinked slightly, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

"You mean she's already gone?"

"Correct."

Ling Xiao couldn't discern Bai Qingyu's expression from his beast form, but he felt inexplicably embarrassed for the young man.

After all, it's not a pleasant feeling to be slapped in the face on the spot.

Bai Qingyu paused for a few seconds, then, after realizing what was happening, asked calmly.

Who was she traveling with?

Second update, over.

Serving the people wholeheartedly, unwavering in loyalty, with the "white moonlight" buff, Hehe: No one is more suitable for the position of househusband than me! Of course, no one knows better than me what it feels like to be slapped in the face!
