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

Chapter 42 Fierce Enen
Ling Chengen quickly adjusted his balance in mid-air, glanced at Bai Qingyu who was also falling straight down above, and cursed him as a piece of trash in his heart.

But she had to hurry and observe the terrain below, hoping there would be trees or something to block the way.

That way, they wouldn't have fallen to their deaths on the spot.

As they got closer to the ground, Ling Chengen, relying on his excellent night vision, was able to determine that this was a low mountain with a small forest below.

Thank goodness.

Because she was falling so fast, she broke several tree branches before she could regain her balance. Ignoring her aching back and abdomen, she reached out to grab Bai Qingyu, who was about to fall straight to the ground through the gap in the branches beside her.

Having caught Bai Qingyu, who had transformed into human form, Ling Chengen hooked a thick tree branch with one hand, casually hung him up, and then jumped onto a horizontal branch before slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

"Hey, you're not going to die, are you?"

Bai Qingyu weakly lifted his eyelids, then slowly closed them. His facial expression was slightly distorted due to the pain. He said, "I won't die for now. Sorry, I couldn't avoid that thing."

Ling Chengen looked at his misaligned shoulder and sighed deeply.

She looked down, about twenty meters above the ground.

I'm really lucky.

However, she could sense that this forest was quite dangerous. Less than two kilometers away from them, there was a group of more than a hundred inferior beasts.

“There are dangerous beasts nearby. We shouldn’t stay here any longer. I’ll take you away first.”

Ling Chengen scooped him up and, before he could react, decisively pressed him down and set his dislocated shoulder.

Bai Qingyu's brows furrowed in pain, and she gritted her teeth, managing to let out a few painful gasps, but she managed to maintain her last shred of dignity and refrain from yelling or screaming.

"Is your leg injured?"

"No."

Bai Qingyu shook his head, held his swollen and painful left shoulder, took a deep breath, and stood up by leaning on the tree trunk beside him. But the moment he straightened his back, his expression changed slightly.

His face and body were scratched and bled from the branches, but these weren't serious injuries. The more troublesome thing was...

He just bumped into a tree branch, and it looks like his ribs... are broken.

Ling Chengen tilted his head to examine his pale face, then jumped down from the tree branch first, landing lightly on the withered leaves on the ground.

Bai Qingyu followed closely behind, landing with her lips tightly pursed and beads of sweat on her forehead.

It has to be said that he had really bad luck on this trip.

Ling Chengen had already planned his escape route and ran forward without looking back, reminding Bai Qingyu behind him, "Keep up."

Bai Qingyu gritted her teeth and kept up with her speed, remaining silent the entire time.

The sounds of wild beasts echoed from the dense forest behind them, including the howls of wolves and the indistinguishable roars of inferior animals. The running of wild beasts and inferior animals in the mountains and forests broke the tranquility of the entire night.

Ling Chengen's ears twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Your nose is really sharp; it's coming this way."

Bai Qingyu was clearly unable to fly, so she immediately transformed into her beast form and tossed the short spear into his arms: "Get on my back, you're too slow."

Bai Qingyu glanced back at the pitch-black forest, mounted the giant tiger's back, held onto the tiger's stiff fur with one hand, and gently pressed his aching lower back with his left hand. He slowly lowered his body, letting the branches and leaves in front of him brush against his skin.

They had just run out of the dense forest when they ran into a dozen vicious beasts with red eyes, which were devouring two forest deer.

Ling Chengen was too lazy to fight these inferior beasts who were feasting. He jumped onto the rocky cliff next to him and, like a snow sheep that had lived on the cliff for a long time, lightly and nimbly stepped up the rock and quickly crossed the cliff that was hundreds of meters high.

Once he was sure the beasts couldn't climb to the top of the cliff, Ling Chengen stopped and stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the howling beasts below. He then kicked several large rocks around him down with his paw.

Several inferior beasts were unable to dodge in time and were unfortunately crushed into pancakes by the rolling boulder.

Bai Qingyu rode on her back, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose and coughed a few times.

Ling Chengen then slowly swished his tail and said, "You're quite tolerant. You had two broken ribs, yet you could still run with me for so long."

Bai Qingyu's eyes widened slightly: "You know?"

"You don't actually think you've hidden it well, do you?"

Ling Chengen squinted as he watched a dark figure fly over from where they had crashed, yet he still managed to chat with Bai Qingyu behind him.

"You're a strange person. You insisted on coming with me to the Misty Swamp, saying it was for the sake of cooperation between the two tribes. But when you actually run into trouble, you're unwilling to ask me for help."

Do you think I won't help you?

Bai Qingyu shook her head and denied it: "No."

"I'm just not used to relying on others..."

He reflected on it carefully. If he were a member of the Hanshan tribe, he might have frankly explained his situation, because he unconditionally trusted his tribesmen.

But Ling Chengen was not related to him, and in a life-or-death situation, he really didn't believe she would risk her life to save him.

If Ling Chengen were to take him along, they would be surrounded by vicious beasts, but he could escape easily on his own. In fact, even if he were abandoned here, he would not harbor any resentment.

The instinct of orcs is to cling to life and fear death.

On the contrary, sharing life and death is rare.

Ling Chengen was too lazy to argue with him, and simply said, "You just stay on my back. I want to see what kind of stupid bird that was chasing us and crashing into us is."

Bai Qingyu looked up at the approaching dark figure, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "The one that hit us was the little winged dragon beast from last night."

He knew who the culprit was. Not only was the aura on the other party very familiar, but when the little winged dragon's beak hit his side, he also saw the dragon's panicked eyes.

But... Bai Qingyu raised her hand, her warm palm gently pressing on her bluish-purple waist and abdomen.

Although he could sense that the dragon didn't intend to ambush them, he really wanted to kill it to vent his anger.

Ling Chengen watched as the little winged dragon glided up to them, finally stopping on the rocky cliff and slowly folding its wings. His eyes were cold as he slashed his claws at the rock, carving a deep hole in the hard stone.

The little winged dragon put down the blood-soaked horned bull it was carrying in its mouth, its round, bulging eyes shining brightly as it stared at them, and even used its claws to push the horned bull towards them.

Ling Chengen pressed down on its paw, hesitatingly asking, "Is it trying to feed us?"

Looking at the little winged dragon's nervous yet excited appearance, Bai Qingyu shook his head and said, "I think it probably wants us to help it roast this horned cow."

Ling Chengen immediately bared her sharp teeth, looking as if she wanted to bite the silly dragon to pieces. The little winged dragon was so frightened that it secretly moved back several steps, cautiously sizing up this tigress who was quite good at fighting.

Bai Qingyu looked at the horned cow, then raised his hand and pressed his left shoulder: "Let's roast it and see if we can communicate with it and get it to take us back to the tribe."

Although his dislocated shoulder was put back in place, he could no longer carry Ling Chengen on long flights.

Ling Chengen's beast husband is seriously poisoned and urgently needs snake lizard bile and blood to prepare an antidote, so it is not advisable to delay on the road.

Ling Chengen tilted his round head and stared at the silly dragon opposite him, hesitatingly asking, "Can a small winged dragon communicate with us?"

Bai Qingyu wasn't sure either, only saying, "It looks smarter than a typical small winged dragon."

"There are indeed some orcs in the wasteland who can tame animals, but one must know how to tame them, and another is to find relatively intelligent animals that are suitable for taming."

"The small winged dragon belongs to the kings of the skies. Judging from its size, this one hasn't reached adulthood yet, so it might be worth a try to tame. Adult winged dragons are basically best abandoned; most, even if captured, would rather die than obey. However, these things are very difficult to tame. Ordinary orcs simply can't defeat them in a one-on-one fight. They only obey the strong and are extremely vengeful. Unless you can defeat it alone, it will only ambush you when you're alone."

Ling Chengen immediately became interested. Her thinking was simple: she needed a flying mount.

Bai Qingyu wouldn't be her private jet forever, and there aren't many large flying beastmen in the tribe, so she'd have to find herself a private jet.

She looked at the bewildered little winged dragon opposite her, her gaze gradually shifting from disdain to admiration.

Although this thing has bulging eyes, a round forehead, no hair, and wings made of a taut membrane, and its appearance is completely contrary to her aesthetic standards, it can fly.

This alone can help her overcome the prejudices that arise from her appearance.

Seeing the tail behind her slowly swishing, Bai Qingyu was basically certain that Ling Chengen was interested in this little winged dragon.

Because of his carelessness, Ling Chengen broke the bone blade he was carrying in the Misty Swamp and also cracked the spearhead, so he really wanted to find an opportunity to make it up to her.

"However, I must remind you that taming a baby winged dragon means that before it reaches adulthood, when it occasionally fails to hunt prey, you will have to feed it."

"The adult winged dragons have an amazing appetite and are very difficult to raise."

As far as he knew, the Ling family was in a bad situation. There were three animal husbands in the family, but not one of them could go out hunting. They had to rely on Ling Chengen to hunt to support them.

He simply couldn't imagine... how much hunting pressure she would face every day if this little winged dragon really became attached to her.

Even so, she still had to find time to get salt, and prepare for land reclamation and planting eggs.

Putting aside her past dark history of relentless pursuit, he still admired such a formidable female.

After all, he would only see a handful of such fierce and powerful females in his entire life.

Ling Chengen glanced at the beasts still roaring and howling at the foot of the cliff. Several of them tried to climb up, but the cliff was too steep, and they fell halfway down, crushing a large number of others.

"Let's go, let's find a safe place to stay first."

Ling Chengen carried the horned bull on the ground to the little winged dragon, then tilted his head and turned to leave.

As a result, the little winged dragon stood there stunned for a while, then looked at the horned bull on the ground, and finally ignored the prey, flapping its wings and preparing to run after her.

Ling Chengen turned around and roared at it, then transformed into human form, pried open the mouth of the little winged dragon with his bare hands, hung the horned bull on its mouth, and then transformed into beast form to carry Bai Qingyu ahead.

The little winged dragon, carrying the horned bull in its beak, slowly flew behind her, wondering what this shape-shifting two-legged creature was up to.

After wandering around the mountain for half an hour, Ling Chengen finally found a cave, but the cave smelled terrible and contained a lot of pig excrement.

Ling Chengen looked at the dark cave, pondering whether to lure the wild boar out and drive it away, or simply kill it.

Bai Qingyu patted her back and reminded her, "This is the lair of the Gold-Eating Boar."

Ling Chengen tilted his head: "Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?"

"You've never seen a gold-eating pig? That's unusual."

Bai Qingyu was a little surprised. The gold-eating dolphin actually has a wide distribution range, and this animal can be seen everywhere in the northern wilderness.

Ling Chengen flicked his tail guiltily: "Last time I fell off a cliff and hit my head, so my memory is a bit messy."

Bai Qingyu looked at her round ears that twitched slightly with suspicion, and tightened his grip on the short hair on her back. After a moment, he continued to talk about the Gold-Eating Pig.

"Gold-eating porpoises are mostly social animals and very prolific, with a litter typically producing sixteen or seventeen piglets. They mainly forage in the mountains and eat almost anything."

"When you say you eat everything, do you mean you eat both plants and animals?" Ling Chengen asked.

“Not only that.” Bai Qingyu pointed to the dark golden feces not far away and patiently explained to her, “Gold-devouring pigs also eat ores, especially metal ores. However, gold-devouring pigs without special abilities cannot digest metals after eating ores and will excrete the metals from their bodies in the form of feces.”

Ling Chengen: "..." I have to say, the animals in the Beast World are all very distinctive.

It can even purify and filter metal ores through the digestive system; that's truly remarkable.

Bai Qingyu looked at the dark cave ahead: "The probability of the Gold-Eating Pig awakening a gold-type ability is very high."

"The number of a gold-eating porpoise population is usually between thirty and fifty."

"There are usually at least two Gold-Eating Pigs in the group that have awakened the Gold-type ability, mainly for leading and guarding the group."

Ling Chengen looked at the little winged dragon behind him and the blue moon that had climbed to mid-sky: "But I don't want to run around anymore. It's quite troublesome to find a suitable place to stay in these mountains."

"So, you're going to fight a whole group by yourself?"

"I'm injured and can't be of much help."

Ling Chengen stared at the cave with a serious expression for a while, then decided, "Then I won't kill them, I'll just drive them away."

Bai Qingyu had given up trying to persuade him: "..."

Sometimes I really don't know where her confidence comes from.

Without a word, he jumped off Ling Chengen's back, climbed up to the middle of a giant tree nearly a hundred meters high, sat on a branch, and looked down at the melee below.

A dozen minutes later, a group of gold-devouring pigs lay dead at the cave entrance. The giant tiger, which had been whimpering and squatting at the cave entrance, slammed its paw into a rock, instantly turning it into dust.

In an instant, all the gold-devouring pigs fell silent.

Bai Qingyu leaned against the tree trunk, looking down at the seemingly well-trained gold-devouring pigs, and was quite bewildered for a moment.

Are these Gold-Eating Pigs, which shut their mouths and stiffened their bodies after being easily intimidated by Ling Chengen, really the same species as the Gold-Eating Pigs he encountered when leading hunting teams before, which would fight anyone who dared to die and take someone down with them?

Bai Qingyu had been suspicious of the beast's existence for a long time until the voice below brought him back to his senses.

"Come down, they've given us the cave."

Ling Chengen had already used pine branches to sweep through the entire cave of the Gold-Eating Pig.

They also collected some of the dead branches and rotten wood from the surrounding area.

The little winged dragon squatted to the side and poked the fat buttocks of the Gold-Eating Boar lying on the ground pretending to be dead with its long snout. The cowardly yet short-tempered Gold-Eating Boar leader turned around and sprayed it with water. Startled, the dragon jumped up and let out an embarrassing cry. In a fit of rage, it kicked the Gold-Eating Boar's buttocks with its claws.

Bai Qingyu climbed down the tree branches, and when she was still about ten meters from the ground, she used the branches to jump left and right, finally landing lightly.

Bypassing the gold-devouring pigs that were all staring at him from the ground, Ling Chengen tapped the stone at the cave entrance with a stick. The fierce gold-devouring pigs immediately turned their heads back, their long, thin tails curling up like mosquito coils behind them.

Bai Qingyu walked to Ling Chengen's side, looking at the Gold-Eating Pig lying in the moonlight with a complicated expression. Then she turned her head to stare at Ling Chengen, who was holding a stick in one hand, with the other hand on his hip, and small bloodstains on his cheek and neck. Suddenly, she felt relieved.

She was always so different from everyone else.

Ling Chengen had extremely strong perception and knew he was watching her. She slightly raised her fair chin, twirled the stick in her hand a few times, and pointed it directly at the gold-devouring pigs lying on the ground.

She raised her long eyebrows slightly, with a hint of provocation and smugness, and said, "The Gold-Eating Boar is very ferocious, won't it give us its nest?"

Enen is super proud: I'm asking you, are you convinced or not?

Hehe: ...Fine, I'll let you be smug for three seconds.
