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

"Oh dear, this meat is so hot! Could you make me two more stone cutlery pieces?"

For some reason, Niu Kou Shui suddenly found it very amusing, especially since some of the people next to her were giving her disgusted looks. Since she wasn't planning on messing with them anyway, she might as well disgust them a little!

As expected, Huanlan and the others frowned upon hearing this and immediately turned and left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Niu Kou Shui thought that he could finally enjoy his meat.

"Mistress... Mistress, tableware? How do we make it?" Mizuki asked, his face flushed and his head slightly lowered. He was a little embarrassed by Mistress's words; it was the first time she had ever spoken to him like that.

Father had once said that he would only speak like that when the female master liked him, so the female master must like him. Thinking of this, Mijin blushed even more.

Seeing his dark red face, Niu Kou Shui realized he couldn't tease this silly boy anymore, so he quickly gestured to him how to use a knife and fork.

The five little ones finished eating and came out to surround their mother and her grilled meat.

Mijin didn't disturb the five little ones and the female master. After finishing, she went to the side and did something else.

Seeing the five little ones' curious eyes, Niu Kou Shui immediately demonstrated how to use a knife and fork.

The roasted meat was cut into many small pieces by Niu Shishui, and the five little ones swallowed their saliva as they looked at the sizzling, oily meat.

"Here you go, little ones, one piece each." Niu Kou Shui forked up a piece, ready to feed them one by one.

But the five little ones all shook their heads and shut their mouths. If they ate, their mother wouldn't have enough to eat, and they were already full.

Niu Kou Shui saw through the five little ones' thoughts and was heartbroken. She herself couldn't have given birth to such cute and sensible children.

"It's alright, my good boys. This is such a big piece of meat. I'll only let you have a bite. Besides, didn't our Moonfall baby catch so many snails? After you've tasted my roasted meat, you can go and help me wash the snails. We'll cook them later."

"Yay!" The five little ones nodded in unison. Yuezhui, who was called "baby," blushed a little.

"Wow!"

Wow~

The five boys, who had never eaten barbecue before, were amazed. They realized that barbecue was so delicious! It's just that they could only grill a small amount at a time.

But the five little ones soon ran off to wash the snails on their own, afraid that their mother would give them more to eat.

Niu Kou Shui watched their retreating figures with a doting smile, then began to devour her food. She hadn't eaten such fresh roasted meat in a long time.

In the apocalypse, all they eat every day is dry, shriveled stuff, let alone roasted meat; they can't even find a normal pig.

Suddenly noticing that Mitsu was preening an owl's feathers, Mitsu immediately felt her gaze. Turning her head to meet her eyes, Mitsu blushed again.

Niu Kou Shui was both amused and exasperated; this seemingly innocent but actually quite shrewd man was incredibly hot-tempered!

"Mizutsu, come here."

Mizuki obediently squatted down in front of Niu Kou Shui: "Mistress... Mistress, what's wrong?" As she spoke, she scratched her black and white hair.

"Open your mouth, ah~"

Although Mizuki didn't know what the "ah" at the end meant, he opened his mouth like the female protagonist.

Then he was fed a bite of roasted meat with cow saliva.

Mizuki was momentarily stunned; this action was far too intimate! The female master was actually feeding him meat!

No, how could he let the female master feed him! How could he eat the female master's food!

A moment of bewilderment washed over me; I couldn't swallow the honey, nor dare I spit it out.

"Chew, you idiot." Niu Kou Shui couldn't help but laugh at his silly look. Such a majestic, dark-skinned, handsome guy was playing the fool!

Mizuki obediently chewed the meager amount of meat that wasn't even enough to fill his teeth, then gave a wow-like expression as if he was enjoying a delicious meal.

Niu Kou Shui burst out laughing, then reached out and touched the dark face (actually bronze) of the person squatting in front of him.

"Alright, Mijin, you can get ready now. I'm done eating and I'm going to help the kids wash snails." After saying that, she got up and headed towards the stream without paying any attention to the dazed Mijin.

Once she realized what was happening, Mijin began to tidy up the stone slabs with a blissful expression. This was the first time she had served the female master like this since she started following her, and it was also the first time in so long that they had spent such a happy time together!

Mijin beamed with unbridled joy, unable to contain her anticipation for the future. Finally, she was about to begin her normal orc daily life after becoming a couple!

The female master has really changed a lot this time!

The other four handsome men had disappeared at some point. Niu Kou Shui glanced around and then began teaching the children how to wash snails.

Looking at the mess that Mijin was making, Niu Kou Shui thought for a moment and then simply took out an iron basin from his spatial storage. After all, Mijin should be the one who established a connection with him the fastest, so he wouldn't have to carry her on his back. He'd have Mijin make some wooden basins later, since the stone ones were too heavy.

The five children were used to seeing their mother pull things out of thin air, and they all considered it a secret between them and their mother.

The five little ones imitated the cow's drooling and rubbed the snail shells with the grass next to them, then put the cleaned snails into the iron basin.

"The kids are so well-behaved." Niu Kou Shui exclaimed from the bottom of his heart!

The air and environment in the beast world are good. Here, you only need to focus on survival and don't have to think too much. Such a life is too wonderful.

And I also effortlessly gained these five adorable little ones!

When Mijin came over to help after finishing her tidying up, she noticed the basin containing snails and became curious. The five little ones looked at Mijin warily, as this was their mother's secret.

"Mijin, are you curious where this came from?" Niu Kou Shui noticed the subtle look in the five little ones' eyes and pointed to the iron basin.

"Mistress, I've never seen this before." Mizuki scratched his head, not knowing why the five little ones were suddenly looking at him like that.

"Alright, my little ones, this is your father too. Don't be nervous, your father is reliable."

After saying that, Niu Kou Shui looked around to make sure no one was there, and then, right in front of Mi Jin, he pulled out a spatula out of thin air.

"!" Mizuki was stunned.

"Female...Female Master! You also have spatial abilities?!"

In the traditions of Mijin, only a very small number of females awaken supernatural abilities. Female witch doctors constitute a large portion of this group, awakening healing powers. Another group of females awaken supernatural abilities because they are holy females, chosen and protected by the beast god, and thus awaken special powers.

However, females who awaken special abilities, known as Holy Maidens, usually announce this information and thus receive protection from the tribe. Moreover, many Holy Maidens go to large tribes.

But Mijin had never heard of anyone awakening two supernatural abilities at the same time, being both a witch doctor and a holy woman.

Something just doesn't feel right.

Mijin instinctively felt that this situation was somewhat troublesome. Witch doctors were very popular in the tribe, not to mention holy females. Holy females possessed supernatural abilities and strong reproductive capabilities, both of which made them easy targets for stray beasts. Now that both of these traits were present in the same female, the danger level skyrocketed.

Niu Kou Shui hadn't even finished reading the novel, and she didn't know that Mi Jin had already decided that she was both a witch doctor and a holy woman.

With a solemn expression, Mizuki said, "Holy Mother, I will protect you!"

"what?"

The five little ones naturally have this part of the inheritance. For some reason, Yuezhui always felt that her mother didn't understand. Logically speaking, everyone in the beast world should understand.

"Mother, only the Holy Female can awaken special abilities, and only the Witch Doctor can awaken healing abilities," Moonfall whispered to the squatting Cow Mouth.

"Ah? Oh, I see." Niu Kou Shui finally understood. They were treating her like a holy female. It seems that a female who awakens two superpowers at the same time is unprecedented in the history of the beast world. No wonder Mi Jin had that expression.

She only inherited a portion of Niu Kou Shui's original memories, and she hadn't finished reading the novel, so naturally she didn't know much about these things.

"Um, Mijin, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, everyone only knows that I awakened a healing ability. Everything else is a secret, okay? Let's keep it a secret." Niu Kou Shui stood up and patted Mijin's shoulder, trying to make him look less serious.

"My lady, I'll discuss with them tonight about having two people protect you from now on!" Mizuki seemed to have made up her mind.

The Green Ox Tribe is only a small tribe. Although no one knows the identity of the Holy Mother yet, Mi Jin feels that they should prepare for the future.

"Oh, Mizuki, look at you, what are you so nervous about?"

"Mother" Yue Zhui tugged at the animal skin horn covered in cow saliva.

Niu Kou Shui squatted down, looking at Yue Zhui's adorable appearance: "What's wrong, Yue Zhui baby?"

"Mother, the Holy Female is in great danger. She might be targeted by bad beasts or even by large tribes," Moonfall whispered in Niu Kou Shui's ear. Although this was to save Niu Kou Shui's face, since orcs have good hearing and the four little ones and Honey could hear her.

"I see!" Niu Kou Shui wasn't too nervous. She hadn't read many novels like this and didn't know much about the rules of the beast world. It turned out that Mi Jin was worried about her safety.

Seeing the female master's sudden realization, Mizuki became even more worried.
