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

Chapter 5 First Taste of Cooked Food
"Drink the water from this pot."

Ling Chengen placed the stone pot next to the straw mat and reached out to touch Chongzhen's forehead.

Chongzhen instinctively wanted to dodge, but quickly controlled her body's instinctive reaction. Her gaze swept over Chongzhen's slender wrist, and she lowered her long, fine eyelashes to conceal the emotions in her eyes.

After confirming, Ling Chengen withdrew his hand, handed the stone pot to him, and said calmly, "Although the witch doctor is old, his medicine is still very effective. His body temperature has gone down a little. Drink the medicine that has been brewed in a while, and the fever should break soon."

Chongzhen leaned against the stone wall, holding the stone pot in both hands. She raised her eyelids, and a faint light shone in her naturally charming and alluring fox-like eyes. She whispered, "Thank you."

"Drink your water first. We'll bring you the food when it's ready. Just lie down and rest for the rest of the time." Ling Chengen glanced at Ling Xiaoxi. "Keep an eye on him. We'll give you a big portion when the food is ready."

Ling Xiaoxi immediately perked up and raised both paws.

"Don't worry, big sister, leave it to me."

……

Ling Chengen turned and left the cave. Chongzhen didn't move at all from beginning to end, only watching her tall figure disappear before picking up the stone pot and slowly drinking the water.

The young chieftain of the Shilin tribe seems to be quite different from what has been rumored.

Although the Yaoluo tribe is not far from here, the smaller beastmen of the Yaoluo tribe dare not come this way because the Shilin tribe has many giant beastmen.

He had never even seen Ling Chengen before.

I've only heard from other orcs that of the dozen or so tribes of varying sizes in the vicinity, only the young chieftain of the Stone Forest tribe is a woman.

Although Ling Chengen is female, her ability to become the young chieftain of a tribe speaks volumes about her strength.

This female chieftain not only possesses the form of a giant tiger, but also has extremely formidable fighting power; most male orcs cannot defeat her in a fight.

Because of her, the term "tigress" gradually began to be used to describe female beastmen with extremely bad tempers and personalities on the Northern Beast Plains.

I heard that she has been pursuing Bai Qingyu, the young chieftain of the Hanshan tribe.

However, Bai Qingyu is an extremely powerful and intelligent orc warrior who disdains the wicked Ling Chengen and is one of the few orcs who can rival Ling Chengen.

Yes, Ling Chengen's wicked nature was known throughout the entire Northern Beast Plains.

Impulsive, easily angered, stubborn, prone to violence at the slightest disagreement, and without any restraint in their actions.

But what is most widely known is that she had a preference for handsome male orcs with humanoid appearances.

To put it another way, he's lustful.

Their Yaoluo tribe was a small settlement of beastmen, which was not even worth Ling Chengen's attention, so he was never harassed by Ling Chengen.

However, both of the young chieftains of the Snow Wolf Tribe and the Snake Mountain Tribe, who were also defeated this time, were harassed by her.

As for the young master of the Wuyang tribe, his situation was similar.

Because they were all small-sized, multi-racial beastmen living in mixed tribes, they did not catch Ling Chengen's eye.

However, this time, the four tribes united for mutual benefit and planned to launch an attack while the young chieftain of the Stone Forest tribe was injured and unconscious, and the chieftain Ling Xiao of the Stone Forest tribe was in a state of utter distress, in order to divide up the entire Stone Forest tribe.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao led the tribe's warriors and forcefully drove them out of the Stone Forest tribe, bypassing their tribe's trap defenses and appearing directly in front of the Medicine Luo tribe's underground cave.

Ling Xiao declared that if they did not hand over him and enough prey, he would completely drive the orcs of the Yaoluo tribe out of the Northern Beast Plains.

The situation of the other three tribes was similar to that of Yaoluo.

If they do not want to lead the old and young orcs of their tribe on a long migration to reclaim new territory, they must submit.

Migrating and finding new territory is not an easy task. Every migration of each tribe on the Beast Plains is accompanied by the large-scale death of the old, weak, sick and disabled orcs in the tribe.

The Yaoluo tribe cannot withstand such turmoil.

Chongzhen's drooping eyelashes concealed the dark thoughts in her eyes.

He never expected Ling Chengen to be kind enough to save him, but she did. However, the relationship between giant orcs and small orcs was never one of equality.

He wasn't naive enough to think that being saved once would actually make him a true partner with a ruthless female like Ling Chengen.

He was merely a spoil of war plundered by Ling Xiao, and being exploited, oppressed, and forced... were all perfectly normal occurrences for him.

He could tolerate all of this as long as they stopped persecuting the Yaoluo tribe.

Otherwise... he would try every means to kill Ling Xiao and Ling Chengen.

I'll take this opportunity to recover from my injuries and observe them further.

He quickly came up with a plan. The thirst and fatigue brought on by the high fever did not affect his clear thinking. After making a decision, he calmly lay back on the straw mat and closed his eyes to sleep again.

……

Lunch was prepared quickly; besides vegetable and egg soup, the rest was roast meat.

During his free time, Ling Chengen prepared several stone pots and pushed over a tree that wasn't too thick, using his claws to carve the wood into bowls, chopsticks, plates, and other tableware.

Her craftsmanship is average, but she is strong and has sharp claws. She can plan wood as easily as planing tofu, with almost no effort.

She poured the cooked egg drop soup into three wooden bowls that were bigger than her face. Then she started boiling salt in a stone pot, and didn't forget to put the soaked medicinal herbs on another pile of stone stove to simmer slowly.

The stone pot comes with a wooden lid, and she cleverly included a handle for easy handling.

After all that was done, the pheasant, its skin charred and its meat tender from being licked by the flames, was ready. Although it lacked seasoning, it was definitely enough to fill one's stomach.

She placed the three roasted pheasants on a clean, large wooden platter and called out towards the cave.

Ling Xiaoxi quickly ran over, her eyes wide with delight at the sight of the beautifully colored roasted chicken. She was completely mesmerized by the aroma, her mouth practically watering.

"Look at you, so pathetic. This chicken and this bowl of soup are yours. Remember to wash the plate and spoon after you finish eating."

Ling Chengen carried another chicken and egg soup into the cave and placed the food on a flat stone platform next to the straw mat.

Chongzhen had already woken up when she stepped into the cave. She slowly sat up, looked at the food she had put down, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

The faint scent I had been smelling before was coming from these two things.

He stared at the roast chicken, then glanced at Ling Chengen.

"What, you don't dare to eat?" Ling Chengen took away the empty stone pot from the side, stood up and scoffed, "If you don't want to eat it, just leave it there. When my father comes back, he should be happy to help you finish this meal."

Don't even think about trying to persuade him to eat in a gentle and persuasive way!

She only has three seconds of patience; take it or leave it.

Chongzhen didn't suspect her of poisoning, but rather found it strange.

He knew what cooked food was, but the orcs of the Northern Beast Plains didn't know how to cook it.

Only the large beast cities in the bustling southern wilderness would have these things.

Every year, groups of orcs are exiled from the south to the northern wastelands.

Those orcs have always looked down on the orcs of the North, considering them to be the lowest of the beastmen.

They wouldn't teach the local orcs how to cook, but would instead arrogantly flaunt what they possessed and then mock them with disdain as uncivilized, barbaric orcs.

Therefore, these groups, who cannot see reality and lack the strength to protect themselves, will soon be divided up by the more ferocious tribes in the north, or driven to the extremely harsh conditions of the Northern Cold River, where they will die with resentment when the cold season arrives.

How did Ling Chengen learn to cook cooked food?

Chongzhen reached out and tore off a piece of slightly hot chicken, putting it in her mouth. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked down at her oily fingertips, lost in thought.
