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

Chapter 52 You're Jealous of Me
Upon hearing the sound, Ling Chengen immediately took down the bone blade that was placed to the side, turned around, and left the cave.

Ling Chengen thought Yu Shaochen had encountered some danger, but as soon as he walked to the foot of his treehouse, he saw the little winged dragon land on the top of his treehouse, with a brownish-red forest panda struggling to hold its mouth open in its mouth.

Ling Chengen stared at this scene with a black line on his forehead: "..."

"Help! My lady, your pet is going to eat me!"

After tucking the bone blade back into his waistband, Ling Chengen climbed up the tree trunk, grabbed the little winged dragon's long snout, pulled the panda out of its mouth, and slapped the little winged dragon on the head.

"Why did you bite it for no reason? Is that even edible? Enough to fill your teeth?"

Ling Chengen left Yu Shaochen on the roof of the treehouse, then turned around and sternly reprimanded his mount for stuffing everything into its mouth.

The break-in period was too short, so this little winged dragon wasn't very obedient to her yet.

The little winged dragon folded its wings to its sides, turned its head and let out a pitiful howl, nudged the little panda slumped on the roof with its mouth, and then, taking advantage of Ling Chengen's inattention, kicked the little coward in the butt.

Ling Chengen turned his head and looked at Yu Shaochen, who was rolling towards the edge of the roof like a ball, and quickly reached out to grab his tail.

Yu Shaochen, hanging upside down in mid-air, looked down at the ground below, completely turning into a fur ball. With teary eyes, he looked at Ling Chengen, who had saved him from the brink of death, and decisively bent down to hug her arm.

"My lady, it's bullying me!"

With a headache, Ling Chengen tossed Yu Shaochen through the window into the treehouse, comforted him for a couple of minutes, and then turned to try to communicate with the little winged dragon using his mental power.

This kind of communication is not language, but more like the transmission of emotions.

Therefore, the information conveyed is generally not particularly accurate, but it is by far the most direct and effective way of communication.

Ling Chengen frowned, sensing the little winged dragon's emotions. He realized it was hungry, while Yu Shaochen was probably tired from building the treehouse and was simply dozing off on the tree trunk.

The little winged dragon had been mentally warned by Ling Chengen that it couldn't eat two-legged creatures like her, but Yu Shaochen was in her beast form when she was perched on the tree trunk. So, after flying back with great difficulty, it happened to be hungry and went straight for the food.

I thought it was a snack, but... I can't eat it.

It was also because this little chick complained that it got beaten up by the big devil again, so it was super unhappy.

If I'm unhappy, then I must get revenge on the culprit.

Ling Chengen had a bit of a headache. It was normal for orcs to change into their animal forms. If they were to be distinguished solely by their human form, that would definitely not work.

If it hunts alone in the future and catches an orc in its beast form, and that orc happens to be someone of considerable importance, then as her pet, the little winged dragon would naturally bear joint responsibility.

However, she relies on her mental power to distinguish between orcs, ordinary animals, and alien beasts, but the little winged dragon's mental power is a chaotic mess and cannot be used at all.

Ling Chengen comforted the little winged dragon and decided to take it out hunting to feed it first.

Sensing Ling Chengen's intent to hunt, the little winged dragon became happy, raised its head to the sky and let out a light cry before carrying her straight into the clouds and quickly disappearing above them.

The small winged dragon was flying in the direction that was downstream of Qingshi Creek.

After arriving at the confluence of Qingshi Creek and Yehelan River, Ling Chengen saw Chongzhen's figure hundreds of meters in the air.

She raised her hand and patted the little winged dragon on the back of its neck. This time, the little winged dragon understood her meaning perfectly and landed where Chongzhen was.

"It really is you?" Chongzhen pushed up the grass wreath on her head, stood with one hand on her hip, and smiled as she looked at Ling Chengen, who jumped off the back of the little winged dragon. "Didn't you go to the Snow Wolf Tribe? You're back so soon? Any news about Su Weihua's sister?"

"He has been expelled and his current whereabouts are unknown."

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If she left in the direction of the Red Rock Ravine to the north after being expelled, she would be easy to find."

"Although the terrain there is a bit complicated, there are no trees or shrubs to block the view; it's all reddish-brown rocks. From high above, the view is wide open, making it simple and easy to search."

"I'm afraid she's heading south, where the Luolu Mountains stretch out. The mountains don't look very high, but they're all primeval forests made up of ancient trees that are thousands of years old."

"That forest is fraught with danger, with many poisonous creatures. Orcs without considerable strength wouldn't dare venture into it. There are also quite a few wandering orcs who are strong but have questionable character."

"Before we started the war with your Stone Forest, I heard that there were a few wandering orcs in the Lolu Mountains who specialized in hunting their own kind. These guys thought orc meat tasted better, so they were vicious and extremely ruthless."

“Su Weihua plans to find it himself. He thinks his sister wouldn’t be so bad as to not even be able to protect herself.” Ling Chengen turned his head to look at the patch of black soil that had been turned over, a look of surprise on his face. “I thought you were out hunting, but you’re just here turning over the soil by yourself?”

Chongzhen picked up the bamboo cup next to the stone, took a sip of water, and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. His face was red from the sun, but his smile was extremely dazzling.

"Didn't you say that now is the season for planting potatoes? If we delay any longer, it will be too late."

"My injuries are no longer a problem. Last night I tried to absorb a few third-tier earth-type heart stones, and this morning when I woke up I felt particularly energetic, with strength all over my body, so I came out to try it out."

"Since you're here, take a look and see if this tilling is okay? If not, I'll redo it."

Looking at the cleared grass around him, with many grass roots and small pebbles still remaining in the ground, Ling Chengen shook his head and said, "The depth is enough, but the grass roots and pebbles must be cleared away, otherwise the weeds will grow very fast and affect the growth of the potatoes."

"I think Yu Shaochen will have to do the job of clearing the grass roots. I can't remove all the grass roots from this soil yet. But the pebbles are no problem."

Chongzhen put the bamboo cup aside, knelt on one knee, and placed his left hand on the black soil. Almost simultaneously, the nearly three acres of ground in front of him began to undulate, and then the small stones were sprayed in the same direction like peas being launched.

Ling Chengen placed his right hand above his brow bone, stood on the rock, and looked at the rapidly piling up of pebbles. He exclaimed in surprise, "Your superpower can be used like this? It's really convenient."

Chongzhen turned to look at the little winged dragon squatting by the rock, idly poking at his bamboo cup with its beak, and suddenly asked, "Have you named this little winged dragon yet?"

Ling Chengen shook his head.

Chongzhen looked at the little winged dragon with shining eyes and said, "Look at the big, round bump on its head, why don't we just call it Bao Bao?"

Ling Chengen glanced sideways at the unconscious little winged dragon and thought the name... was a bit unpleasant.

Chongzhen simply called out "Bao Bao" to Xiao Yi Yalong.

The little winged dragon suddenly looked up, warily watching Chongzhen who had inexplicably raised his voice not far away. Then, taking advantage of the other party's inattention, it kicked the bamboo cup that Chongzhen had chewed on into the bushes behind it.

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Look, it answered."

Ling Chengen glanced at the watermark on the ground, a little reluctant to tell him that his cup had been gloriously sacrificed, and simply nodded and said, "Then let's call it Bao Bao."

Hopefully, when he discovers the cup is broken later, he'll be just as happy as he is now, calling out "Bao Bao" (a playful nickname for a bag).

She remembered that this should be the first cup he made by hand.

"I'm taking my bag to go hunting first. Do you want to come along? Or are we planning to continue tilling the land?" Ling Chengen asked.

Chongzhen shook her head: "You guys go ahead, I'm not going. By the way, could you lend me your bag later?"

The bag, which was squatting by the rock and scratching at a mouse hole with its long beak, was completely unaware of what was happening. Ling Chengen hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Of course you can borrow it, but the problem is... it probably won't obey your commands."

Chongzhen pointed to the tilled ground in front of him: "The potato seeds will eventually need to be transported over. If we have to carry them over in trips, I don't know when it will be finished."

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "You don't need to do it all by yourself. I have a suitable candidate here who can fly and can help dig up those potatoes."

"Who?" "Bai Xi." Ling Chengen smiled and stepped onto the back of his bag. "Anyway, he's got plenty of free time, and we already agreed with the Hanshan tribe to plant together. There's no reason for you to do all the work alone."

……

Ling Chengen kept his word. On his hunting trip, he encountered Bai Xi, who was carrying two grass pigs and flying towards the Stone Forest. He told Bai Xi about planting.

Bai Xi immediately understood, left the grass pig at Ling Chengen's doorstep, and flew towards Hanshan without stopping. She also arranged for people to join Shi Lin in the afternoon to cultivate and plant crops.

When Chongzhen returned to rest at noon, Lingxiao listened to his arrangements and immediately decided, "You definitely can't do it alone. You should have taken the tribe's people with you this morning."

"I'll go find them in a bit. There might be fewer orcs with wood-type abilities, but there are more than forty orc tribes with earth-type abilities. Although some of them are not as high-level as you, they should be fine with something as simple as planting."

After making the arrangements, Ling Xiao glanced at the few horizontal logs piled on the rocky beach, looked at Ling Chengen who was communicating with Yu Shaochen with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Chengen, what are you doing?"

"We need to build a shed, otherwise it will be inconvenient to cook when it rains."

Ling Xiao looked up at the cloudless sky: "It shouldn't rain these next few days, right? The weather is great."

Ling Chengen just smiled and said, "It would be too late to set it up if it rained."

After seeing the Snow Wolf Tribe's well-planned base camp, she now has new aspirations for life; at the very least... she can no longer make do with whatever she has.

Setting up a shed wasn't difficult, and Yu Shaochen was even willing to help.

One side of the shed is against a stone wall, while the other three sides are drafty. It only needs two pillars, and the rest are the beams and wooden planks that support the roof, as well as waterproof mats and thatch.

Yu Shaochen spurred the growth of two straight saplings, about three or four meters tall. Ling Chengen used his bone blade to cut off any branches that might get in the way, and then used his claws to carve out an indentation in the stone wall that would allow two crossbeams to be inserted. Finally, he placed the other end of the crossbeams directly on the tree branch.

The branches of the two trees are at the same height, which is just right for laying a crossbeam.

Ling Chengen only needed to use the rope made of wire grass to fix the wood in place before he could continue to tidy up the roof of the small shed.

Before lunch was ready, she had already laid out the roof purlins and then laid a thick layer of waterproof purplish-gray broad leaves that Yu Shaochen and Chongzhen had dragged back from the distant woods. She then pressed the bundled dry thatch on top of the broad leaves and secured it to the purlins with rope.

"Okay, come down for dinner."

Ling Xiao placed the polished stone table under the shade of the phoenix tree and looked at his eldest daughter standing on the roof of the shed from afar, curiously examining the somewhat low-lying shed.

After Ling Chengen jumped down from the roof, Ling Xiao approached and examined the structure, then frowned and said, "This kind of structure made of thatch and trees can easily catch fire once it's exposed to fire."

"Indeed, but just be careful. If it catches fire, we can rebuild it after it burns down. It won't take much trouble."

Ling Chengen didn't have high expectations for this makeshift shack. He just wanted it to be a small kitchen for the time being, so that he wouldn't have to crawl into the stone cave to light a fire on rainy days and make his sleeping area smoky and hot.

Ling Xiao was also confused and asked, "Su Weihua said you're going to the Snow Wolf Tribe tonight. Do you want me to go with you?"

"Does Father want to go?" Ling Chengen didn't force Ling Xiao to go or not; she didn't think she would be captured by the Snow Wolf Clan.

Ling Xiao sat on the wooden stump and pondered for a moment: "Su Kang is a cunning and treacherous person. I'm still a little worried about you going alone. I don't have anything else to do these next two days, so I can go with you."

Ling Chengen nodded and said, "Then let's go together tonight."

……

Chongzhen carried a large bowl of stir-fried lettuce with sliced ​​meat and placed it on the stone table. She then placed two roasted grass pigs with red and shiny skin directly on the clean broad leaves. Yu Shaochen carried a basket of freshly washed fruit and looked back at Bai Xi, who was carrying a bowl of egg soup.

"Just put it on that rock over there. If you need it, just fill it up yourself." Yu Shaochen pointed to a rock next to him, casually placed the basket on the stone table, and said to the people who had already sat down, "The plants I planted haven't grown well yet, so recently there are only berries and berries. They're not very sweet, but they should be good at cutting through the richness."

Chongzhen picked up a berry and popped it into her mouth. Her features instantly contorted, but she eventually swallowed the berry and complained with a bitter face, "It's so sour, I'm not eating it."

Ling Chengen kicked his shin: "This is his kind gesture. If you don't like it, you can just shut up. There's no need to hurt him."

Chongzhen shrugged and turned to look at Yu Shaochen, who was sitting down: "Look at him, where does he look like he's been hurt? Don't be biased, okay? I'm just telling the truth, it's not like I'm targeting him."

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Yu Shaochen quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I don't care about this kind of thing. My wife, please stop arguing."

Chongzhen's aura instantly surged, her chin slightly raised, and she said arrogantly, "See!"

Bai Xi held the freshly prepared plate and chopsticks, looking at the Ling family members sitting around the stone table but not eating: "Why aren't you eating? Are you waiting for me?"

Ling Xiao explained gently, "Enen said that it's more fun to eat together."

Ling Chengen: "..." She clearly said it was more ceremonial and polite.

Bai Xi nodded as if she understood, picked up her chopsticks somewhat awkwardly, and turned to ask, "Can we eat now?"

Putting aside the mashed potatoes he had eaten that day, this should be considered the second cooked food feast in his life. When the meat was being stir-fried, the aroma was so enticing that he almost wanted to sneak a couple of pieces out of the pan and stuff them into his mouth.

But since it was Chongzhen who was cooking and Ling Chengen was only giving remote guidance, he was afraid that if he secretly tampered with the food, this free meal might be ruined, so he endured it until now.

Ling Chengen took out an empty wooden bowl, held a small bone knife, cut off a piece of roasted pork, scooped two spoonfuls of stir-fried lettuce and meat into the bowl, and took three hard-boiled eggs from the basket in front of him and put them in. He stood up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll take it to Su Weihua first."

Bai Xi watched her departing figure, and saw several people sitting silently without starting their meals. She was a little puzzled, but dared not ask any more questions.

It wasn't until Ling Chengen returned that he finally got to eat the grilled pork belly and stir-fried meat slices he had been longing for.

The moment he put the food in his mouth, his face flushed slightly, and he squinted his eyes contentedly, his usual unruly demeanor gone. He turned his head and exclaimed, "Delicious! I thought mashed potatoes were good enough, but compared to this stir-fried meat, it's like heaven and earth."

"If your family continues to serve meals at this standard every day, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to be your lover. Well, if not your lover, being your mistress would also be fine."

Ling Chengen stared at Bai Xi, who was spouting nonsense, with a black line on his forehead. Holding his chopsticks, he glanced at the group of people staring at him and said helplessly, "Shut up, can't even eating shut you up?"

"If you keep talking so rudely, you'll be manually removed from the table in a minute."

Bai Xi, with meat in her mouth, looked at her with an innocent expression.

Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze from Bai Xi and said calmly, "Of course I don't mind this kind of thing. Your willingness to be Enen's lover doesn't affect me. But, if your father knew, he would probably be so angry that he would come to our Stone Forest and break your legs!"

Chongzhen laughed sarcastically, "Older single male beastmen might have some kind of problem. Our young clan leader is very picky about food, and he wouldn't dare to take a bite out of someone like you who comes to him willingly."

Ling Chengen paused, his hand still holding the food, and looked at Chongzhen with murderous intent: "Are you insulting him or me?"

Bai Xi looked at Chong Zhen and suddenly laughed, putting down her chopsticks and saying, "I know, you're jealous of me."

Chongzhen stared at Bai Xi in shock: "Are you out of your mind?!"

Bao Bao stares at Xiao Song with a death stare: Say it again, which of us is the pet?

Little Coward: ...

Bao Bao: I'll step in if necessary and teach you to recognize the true position of your siblings in the family!
