Five cubs clung to her; the wicked woman was being targeted.

The female owner seems a bit off. She's been acting strange ever since she recovered, and now she seems even more off.

How could a normal beast not know these things? The female master seems completely unaware!

Niu Kou Shui watched as Mi Jin's expression grew increasingly serious. The five little ones could also tell what Mi Jin was thinking, but Niu Kou Shui didn't quite understand.

"Oh, don't worry so much, no one knows. Mizuki, stop looking so gloomy. Here, make me two wooden basins like this." Niu Kou Shui pointed to the iron basin and said to Mizuki.

"Yes, Mistress." Mizuki couldn't figure it out either, so she looked at the iron basin and went to make a wooden one.

The five little ones were left staring at her with wide, open eyes.

The five little ones were so short, only reaching her knees, and they all stared at her.

The cow's drooling head lowered was absolutely adorable.

"What's wrong, little ones? Why are you looking at your mother like that?" Niu Kou Shui asked with a smile, her heart already melting from the cuteness. She then reached out and ruffled the heads of each of the little ones.

"Mother, are you sick?" Jin Xuan asked directly, a hint of nervousness in his eyes. The other four children also looked a little nervous.

Niu Kou Shui felt a little confused. "What does Jin Xuan Xiao Bao mean by this?" At this moment, Mi Jin had disappeared without a trace, and Niu Kou Shui asked with a smile.

"Mother, only the Holy Female can awaken special abilities; this is an innate inheritance that every beastman is born with," Huan Ye said earnestly, blinking her big eyes.

"Mother, and those things you took out, are not in our heritage," Feng Qing added.

"Mother, are you an envoy sent by the Beast God?" Mi Tian asked blankly, and the only explanation for this was that she was an envoy of the Beast God.

"Ah...hehe, maybe? Right?" Niu Kou Shui was a little unsure how to answer, and could only laugh awkwardly. She knew absolutely nothing about this beast world?

Are there really beast gods? And what are the beast god messengers for? Are they here to save the beast world? That's what messengers usually do.

But apart from having some special abilities, she doesn't have anything special about her. How do you explain this?

"My children, your mother asks you, has your lineage included any messengers of the Beast God?"

"Yes, but it was a long, long time ago," Moonfall said after thinking for a moment.

"Do you know what the Beast God's messenger did back then?" Niu Kou Shui continued to ask.

"Yes, the Beast God's messenger taught everyone how to build houses, and also gave names to many other beasts, such as the Sheep Beast, the Moo Moo Beast, and the Clucking Beast. Many grasses also had their names given by the Beast God's messenger. The idea that females should rest after giving birth was also promoted by the Beast God's messenger. There are so many things I can't even begin to describe," Moonfall said earnestly.

"I see~" Niu Kou Shui nodded. So, does she count as a messenger of the Beast God? That messenger of the Beast God sounds like a fellow villager. No wonder the wooden houses in the village look so decent.

"Actually, Mother is also a messenger of the Beast God." Niu Kou Shui said seriously to the five little ones, not knowing whether the five little ones believed him or not.

"Then, Mother, were those things you had also given to you by the Beast God?" Mi Tian asked curiously.

"Yes, it was given to me by the Beast God." Niu Kou Shui nodded affirmatively.

"Mom is so amazing!"

"But will the Beast God's messenger lose the Beast's inheritance?" Jin Xuan asked thoughtfully, referring to the fact that his mother didn't know that only the Holy Female could awaken special abilities. This wasn't mentioned in his inheritance.

"Yes, the Beast God's messenger gave Mother new knowledge, but Mother's brain can't hold that much. Some of the previous inheritances have been removed so that she can hold more new knowledge." Niu Kou Shui earnestly tried to fool the five little ones.

However, judging from the expressions of the five boys, they seem to have believed it.

Mizuki, who had returned sometime earlier, also overheard this. It turned out that the female master was a messenger of the Beast God! It turned out that messengers of the Beast God would lose some of their inheritance!

"Alright, kids, let's cook snails." Niu Kou Shui picked up the iron basin.

"Mistress, is this alright?"

As soon as she turned around, Mijin came over with a wooden basin. However, her face was no longer as solemn as before. Instead, there was a kind of determination in her eyes, which Niu Kou Shui didn't quite understand.

But let it be.

"Great job, Honey is amazing! The wooden tub is absolutely perfect!" Niu Kou Shui gave Honey a thumbs up.

Little Honey, looking a bit silly, also followed suit and gave a thumbs-up.

Although she didn't know what giving a thumbs-up meant, Mizuki smiled and scratched her head after being praised.

"By the way, Mijin, why don't you go and teach Mitian? You're the father, so it's more suitable for you to teach him. I can handle things here." Niu Kou Shui thought for a moment and figured that apart from the jellyfish and the phantom beast cub, the others should be fine as long as they weren't afraid of being seen by others. He wasn't so sure about the phoenix.

"Ah, yes, Mistress." Mizuki hadn't paid much attention to his male offspring; his father hadn't cared for him much when he was a child either. But since the Mistress had made this request, he would comply.

"Honey, go study with your dear father. I'll call you when the snails are cooked." Niu Kou Shui bent down, patted Honey's head, and said with a smile.

"Okay, Mom." Actually, he really wanted to stay next to his mother and watch her cook the snails.

Males only advance to the first rank after consuming beast crystals, and only after reaching the first rank do they awaken their special abilities. This knowledge is present in Niu Kou Shui's original memories.

Mijin is currently at level six and has awakened earth and wood abilities. People of their race generally awaken these two abilities.

Since Mitian hasn't awakened yet, Mijin will teach him the simplest things first.

The two, one big and one small, transformed into beast forms and dug a pit over there. Honey's first lesson was learning how to dig a hole.

Niu Kou Shui looked at them with satisfaction; the two honey badger, one big and one small, looked very harmonious.

Niu Kou Shui poured the snails into the wooden basin. He avoided taking anything out of his spatial dimension if possible, otherwise he wouldn't bother making up an explanation.

After removing the stone slab from the earthen stove and replacing it with a stone pot, Jin Xuan thoughtfully brought over some wood blocks that Mi Jin had chopped, and Feng Qing brought over some dried grass.

The cow's saliva was used to ignite a flint and start a fire.

The four little ones squatted by the stone pot, mimicking the way a cow drools, and no one found it boring.

Once cooked, it was placed in a wooden basin. Niu Kou Shui took out some seasonings from his spatial storage and simply mixed a dipping sauce.

Then I went and shaved off a lot of thin shavings.

"Mijin, Xiaotian, come here, it's cooked." Niu Koushui called out, and the two of them immediately transformed back into human form and stopped digging.

"Remember to wash your hands."

Mijin and Xiaotian ran to wash the mud off their hands before coming over.

So the five little ones, Niu Kou Shui, and Mi Jin squatted around the stone pot. Niu Kou Shui got a skewer for each person, then demonstrated how to take out the snail meat, dip it in the sauce next to it, and eat it.

"Wow! Mom, the snails are delicious! I'll catch more next time," Yuezhui said happily.

I tried the honey and it was indeed delicious, but with such a small amount of meat, it seemed a bit troublesome to eat. It's more suitable for females and cubs.

"Don't you like Mijin?" Niu Kou Shui asked, seeing that Mijin had only eaten one before stopping.

"This is too little for the mistress. It's too much trouble for me to eat. I'll save it for the mistress and the children."

"Master, I'll go make a food stand; squatting probably isn't convenient."

When Mijin mentioned it, Niu Kou Shui suddenly remembered that he had seen tables and benches in the village before, all made of very large pieces of wood.

"Okay, Mijin, go make five small stools and six large benches," Niu Kou Shui said happily, so that they wouldn't have to eat around the earthen stove anymore.

Six large benches were prepared for her, and one for each of the five handsome men.

"What is a small stool?" Mizuki was a little unfamiliar with the term.

"It's just a tiny stool."

"Yes, Mistress."

After a whole afternoon of work, it was getting dark. Mijin transformed into her beast form and ran to the cave to speed up her work. Her wood-type ability made her more adept at these tasks.

Looking at the sky, Niu Kou Shui felt that the other handsome men would be back soon.

I need to find Feng Qing and ask him to take me to see the surrounding area. Niu Kou Shui is not a procrastinator, especially after the apocalypse. Even the slightest slackness could put him in danger. It would be better to find a suitable place to live as soon as possible.

Located on the edge of the tribe, this place would be the first to suffer if there were any invasion. Moreover, given the relationship between Niu Kou Shui and the tribe, it seems that he would not receive any protection at all.

Furthermore, the witch doctor still had her eye on the cave. Niu Kou Shui didn't mind if she took over after he left, but the witch doctor didn't seem like a good person, so he was afraid she might do something bad. He didn't know much about those orcs, so the best way was to avoid them.

Moreover, although she tries to conceal her secret, these orcs are so perceptive that she fears they might accidentally discover it one day if she stays here.
