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

Chapter 4 Love Security
The Love Security System remained silent for a long time before finally saying, with a wronged tone, "You bad person, I will never believe your nonsense again."

Ling Chengen calmly retorted, "So you want to keep it off?"

System: "I hate you."

Ling Chengen was completely unmoved by its emotions, and simply asked, "Do you have any medicine?"

Upon hearing her request, the system immediately exploded: "You have the nerve to ask me for something?"

"Otherwise what? What use are you?" Ling Chengen used his mental power to transform into tentacles and poked the white, round ball of dough. "Hurry up, let's travel to the new world together. There's a shortage of medical care here, and some people are waiting for help."

"I don't have the energy to turn on myself. It was only the little bit of mental energy you gave me that got me started. Where am I supposed to get you medicine? You might as well just kill me!" The Love Security System slumped listlessly in her mental domain, giving up in despair.

Ling Chengen thought it made sense, but he also felt that the current situation was a bit tricky. Carrying this young chief of the Yaoluo tribe named Chongzhen on his back was indeed a terrible situation.

"Is your scanning function still working?" Ling Chengen asked.

Upon hearing that she needed his help, the Love Security System immediately sprang to its feet, hands on its hips, and laughed heartily, "I never thought you'd need my help. Kneel down for me, and I'll help you."

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes slightly, his mental domain suddenly churning violently, and said with murderous intent, "I think you want to die."

The system, nearly knocked off its feet by the storms in the mental domain, immediately begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, but that's not enough. The scanning system works; I'm just in standby mode, not frozen. However, activating the scanning system requires energy."

Ling Chengen: "Tell me, how do you obtain energy?"

"Help the male and female leads," the system replied immediately, its eyes lighting up.

Ling Chengen looked at the stupid system and said speechlessly, "You didn't listen to a word I just told you! We're not in the apocalypse anymore, we've transmigrated to the beast world, understand? You little broken system."

The system remained silent for a long time, and Ling Chengen guessed it was probably refreshing the interface.

Sure enough, two minutes later, the system came back dejectedly, yelling incoherently: "I failed my last mission, it's all your fault! The mainframe deducted a quarter's worth of my performance bonus and demoted me."

"Alright, that's enough of your madness, stop now."

Ling Chengen wanted to scratch his ears, but because he was in beast form, it was difficult to do so, so he could only shake his round, short ears.

"Wait a minute, I'm refreshing the quest."

The system wasn't surprised at all that they had traveled to another world together, because the host it was bound to really had a lot of crazy ideas.

The host must help the male and female protagonists in the apocalypse get together and become the leaders of the human base, achieving a happy ending.

As a result, she single-handedly defeated the entire world, wiped out all the zombies and beasts, built a brand new empire, and ascended the throne as Empress.

As for the male and female leads... those two good-for-nothings have become her subordinates. Moreover, they obey her every command, like two mindless robots.

As for the happy ending for the male and female leads... of course, it didn't happen. Both of them learned to sever all feelings and love from this bastard host.

As a love security system, it was the first time it truly understood the meaning of the saying, "You hate whatever you do, and you can break through defenses in any profession!"
After the refresh was complete, the system came bouncing back, coughed lightly, and said cheerfully, "In this new world, we don't need to help other people's love lives anymore."

"This time, I will be your partner's best friend in love."

Ling Chengen remained silent for a long while: "Speak like a human being."

"This time, you're the main character. I'll help you conquer all sorts of handsome male orcs. The higher your success rate, the more energy points you'll get, and you'll also unlock more pages in the shop."

"Just like the medical supplies you urgently need right now, on the main page of the store, a first aid kit only costs 2 energy points to unlock and purchase!"

"What about the scanning function?" Ling Chengen asked.

"1 energy point".

The system could tell from her tone that there was no room for negotiation, so it could only answer her question in a huff.

"Let's put the strategy aside for now. What's the fastest way to get energy points right now?"

"Stick with your Beast Husband Number One for one minute, and you'll be rewarded with 5 energy points."

Ling Chengen scoffed, "Aren't I right next to him right now? Hurry up and send me the energy points."

Looking at the dying man lying on her back, the system suddenly felt that its mission to protect love was far from over. The host was really good at finding loopholes!
"5 energy points have been credited to your account."

The return trip was even shorter than the outward trip, taking about fifteen minutes. Ling Chengen brought the person back to the Stone Forest Tribe. She took the person off her body and instructed the sullen Ling Xiaoxi, "Go to the stream, wet the animal skin, and stick it on his forehead. Change it again when the skin is no longer cold, until his body temperature drops."

Ling Xiaoxi squatted to one side, picking at the straw mat, and asked, "What if he keeps having this fever?"

"Then you'll have to hold on until I get back. Whether your brother-in-law survives or not depends on you during this time." Ling Chengen patted her head with his long, slender hand, not at all worried that the little girl would disobey him.

Although Ling Xiaoxi is young, she is easy to understand; she is a typical person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Seeing Ling Chengen turn and walk out, Ling Xiaoxi called out anxiously, "Big sister, are you going to find the witch doctor? Don't delay, come back quickly, I really can't do it."

Ling Chengen smiled, quickly ran into the tribe, asked someone for directions to the shaman, and then invited the shaman to his cave.

Ling Xiao had already gone hunting with the other able-bodied beastmen in the tribe and wouldn't be back until evening. There wasn't any extra game left at home to give to the shaman.

Ling Chengen spoke with the shaman, who smiled and said, "Young clan leader, don't worry, there's no need to rush for prey. I don't lack any right now. I'll take care of your beast mate first. I've also brought enough herbs."

Ling Chengen nodded, then turned and ran towards the vast wilderness.

Upon reaching the boundary between the wasteland and the forest, she spent 1 energy point to activate the scanning and recognition function.

The scanning and recognition function is very complicated. Almost as soon as it is turned on, a lot of messy pop-ups appear in front of her, but there is no way to block them.

So she really dislikes this broken system. It speaks in a very human-like way, making it seem like a highly advanced intelligence, but she doesn't understand the point of its stubbornly unchanging, garbage layout.

The pop-up window displayed many edible plants and fungi, but Ling Chengen didn't look at them. Instead, he searched for hemostatic herbs among the countless pop-ups.

She planned to prepare Coptis chinensis decoction and Five-Flavor Detoxifying Drink.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, the early medical supplies were almost exhausted, but injuries from battle were unavoidable. The production of medicines at the human base could not keep up with the consumption, so she had no choice but to learn traditional Chinese medicine.

There were also traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the team at the time, and she studied with them for several years before she was able to handle more common injuries and illnesses.

When she first went to see the witch doctor, she saw the medicinal herbs he had prepared, some of which were ready to be used directly.

However, it is not comprehensive enough and is missing a few medicinal herbs.

The most crucial ingredient is Coptis chinensis.

Ling Chengen wandered around in the forest for most of the day. Seeing her running around like a headless fly, the system reminded her: "Wild Coptis chinensis has high requirements for its growing environment. It is generally fertile soil with high humidity and prefers shade and dislikes strong light. According to the system data, Coptis chinensis should grow in the forest under the mountain from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain."

Ling Chengen was a little surprised that it took the initiative to speak up: "Thanks, why are you being so proactive this time?"

"If you can't find him, your number one beast husband will die. Am I supposed to protect your love with a dead man then?"

"I see." Ling Chengen just smiled, said nothing more, and immediately ran towards the mountain ahead.

Sure enough, a large area of ​​wild Coptis chinensis was found in the forest near the foot of the mountain.

After collecting some Coptis chinensis and picking a few other herbs, she finally had the mind to think about lunch.

Yes, after being busy for so long, it's already afternoon.

Although orcs eat two meals a day, their energy consumption is enormous, and Ling Chengen, who is used to three meals a day, really doesn't want to wait until his old father comes back from hunting in the evening to start cooking on an empty stomach.

There isn't much prey near the foot of the mountain, but there are plenty of small animals.

With her combat experience and her excellent orc physique, she easily caught two roe deer and three pheasants in no time. She also raided the pheasants' nests and found a total of twenty-eight eggs.

Her first impression of the creatures in the beast world was that everything was a plus version.

They were clearly pheasant eggs, but one was as big as a goose egg from before the apocalypse.

Pheasants are naturally quite large, and with their long tail feathers, a pheasant can be at least two meters long.

As for the roe deer, they are even larger.

However, it's certainly better if the prey is large, at least it will be enough for her and her family to eat their fill.

Ling Chengen used his claws to cut a bunch of sturdy vines, wove a net, put the eggs inside, and then tied the rest of his prey tightly to his back. With a bag of eggs and herbs in his mouth, he quickly ran home.

Once her figure disappeared into the dense forest, not far away on a giant tree, a male purple-haired orc wearing an animal skin skirt was leaping back and forth between the branches above, holding a weapon in one hand, and soon landed on the ground where the wet mud had been dug out.

The purple-haired orc squatted down, fiddling with the leaves of a still-growing Coptis chinensis plant, looking at it with a puzzled expression for a long time, until a voice came from behind him: "Qingyu, what are you doing squatting there?"

The purple-haired man plucked a bitter herb and turned around, saying, "I just saw Ling Chengen from the Stone Forest Tribe. She was digging up this kind of herb. I wonder what she's going to do with it."

Upon hearing Ling Chengen's name, the middle-aged man in the animal skin skirt stopped in his tracks, frowning as he looked at Ye Zi, whom he did not recognize.

"That child has always been strange. Didn't she used to chase after you every day, wanting you to be her beast husband? You rejected her so many times, but she never gave up. That child is really persistent."

"Who knows, I might come up with some weird and wonderful things to give you again."

Bai Qingyu frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed by the man's teasing. He recalled the black grilled fish that Ling Chengen had given him before, and decisively threw the leaf in his hand on the ground, picked up the weapon on the ground, and walked in another direction.

……

Ling Chengen didn't take being followed to heart.

She had already noticed that there were people in the nearby forest. The original owner of this body liked the beastmen of the Cold Mountain Tribe, and she happened to have retained this memory, so it was not surprising that she knew that the forest was near the Cold Mountain Tribe and encountered their people.

As long as you don't interfere with her picking bitter herbs or lay a hand on her, there shouldn't be any problem.

Ling Chengen rushed home with the prey and medicinal herbs. The shaman was still there, so she traded a roe deer for some herbs before finally taking the old shaman home.

After returning home, Ling Chengen suddenly realized a problem: he didn't have a pot to boil the medicine.

It's best to use a clay pot to decoct medicine, but nowadays, let alone a clay pot, there isn't even a stone pot.

However, making a stone pot is simple. She found a few nice pieces of red granite on the rocky beach outside, and just as she was about to use her claws to dig at the stones, she suddenly realized a problem.

Granite... Is there a volcano nearby?

Upon closer inspection, there were also many foamy basalt formations on the rocky beach.

As is well known, basalt is a type of rock formed from magma ejected from volcanoes that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface.

Ling Chengen frowned, digging at the rocks with his tiger claws as he asked the system, "Are there any volcanoes nearby?"

The system quickly provided the answer: "There is an active volcano upstream of this stream, but it is quite far from here. The basalt on the rocky beach was washed down from the vicinity of the upstream volcano by floods during the rainy season."

"An active volcano? When will it erupt next?"

System: "We don't know. We don't have enough energy to calculate when the volcano will erupt next."

"How many energy points are needed for one calculation?" Ling Chengen had already recognized its nature of being obsessed with energy points.

"A single measurement costs 180 energy points, with an accuracy rate of 99.99%. Want to pay on credit? 50% daily interest."

With only 4 energy points left, Ling Chengen said expressionlessly, "Get lost."

"Okay! I'm off right now."

The system knew she was in a bad mood, and its experience from previous encounters told it that if she didn't leave soon, she would be locked in a dark room.

He just got out of prison today and hasn't had a proper chance to enjoy himself yet. He absolutely cannot be sent back to jail in just one day!
After cleaning the stone pot, Ling Chengen soaked the medicinal herbs on the spot, used a clean stone to weigh them down at the bottom of the pot, and then began to cook lunch.

There were no kitchen utensils available, so we could only bake on the spot.

However, she had just prepared a few extra stone pots so she could make some easily digestible food for the fox.

If she wants him to obey her commands in the future, she must first save his life. This is how she will do him a favor. If he dares to resist, she won't be polite!
She's long been adept at using the "courtesy first, then force" tactic.

Orange flames danced on the dry firewood and branches, turning Ling Chengen's face bright red. She used a long-handled wooden spoon, carved from a bone knife, to slowly stir the pot, then shredded the clean greens beside her and threw them into the pot.

The steam, carrying a faint aroma of food, drifted into the cave.

Ling Xiaoxi, who was applying a cold compress to her fox brother-in-law, twitched her nose and ran quickly to the cave entrance like a puppy. Seeing the wisps of smoke rising from the rocky beach, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Lying dazed in the cave, Chongzhen also smelled the unfamiliar fragrance. He struggled to turn over, but failed to stand up and fell back down.

Hearing the sound, Ling Xiaoxi rushed back and said anxiously, "Why are you up? Lie down, lie down quickly. Your wound has just been treated with medicine. The witch doctor said you need to lie down and rest, and you can't move around."

Chongzhen lowered his head back onto the grass mat. His lower lip was already a little chapped. He licked his lips and looked at the thin, small, round-eared cub. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Where is your young clan leader?"

"My older sister cooks outside, and she's an amazing cook. The grilled fish she made this morning smelled so good that my father and I almost swallowed our tongues. Wait a minute, my sister will be done in a bit..."

Chongzhen glanced at the wound, which had already been treated with medicine. The herbs were taking effect, causing some pain to the wound, but it was within a tolerable range.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Xiaoxi. My father went out hunting and won't be back until evening. It's just me and my older sister at home now."

"Xiao Xi, could you get me some water?" Chong Zhen had been running a high fever for two days and hadn't had any water for a long time, so he was really thirsty.

Just as Ling Xiaoxi was about to run out, Ling Chengen lifted the straw curtain and came in, carrying a stone pot of water.

The text is quite long, consisting of two chapters combined, totaling over 4 words.
