I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

Xie Yungui thought that the topic would end there, but he didn't expect the aftereffects to follow.

The two cubs at home have been very well-behaved these past few days, not running around, while the orcs in the tribe, including several females, are busy catching fish.

Catch both big and small fish. Some small fish hide in the grass. If you don't catch them, they will die when the river recedes completely.

The so-called small fish are about the size of a palm. Xie Yungui didn't know what kind of fish they were, but they had very few bones.

Xie Yungui decided to make spicy dried fish as a snack for the kids.

Fish are now plentiful around the tribe, making this the most abundant time for resources.

Xie Yungui took the bone knife and deftly removed the fish scales, then removed the internal organs, and waited for it to be ready.

Ah Feng and Ah Ming weren't very skilled, but they were able to handle it, with Priest Yang Ming also helping.

The weather is getting hot again, but it will only last for about ten days before it starts to get cold and then the snow season begins.

Therefore, there is not much time left. In this last golden fruit season, they need to process and store everything to prepare for winter.

"Father!" Leng Yi'an wrapped her arms around Leng Ran's arm, while Leng Ran bent down to catch fish.

"What's wrong?" Leng Ran was originally reluctant for the little snake to come, since catching fish often involves contact with water, and she was afraid the little black snake would catch a cold.

Snakes can get sick and catch a cold, especially the young ones, but he couldn't resist the little black snake clinging to him.

"Dad said you snore?" Leng Yi'an asked softly.

"Yes, all beastmen snore." Because when beastmen sleep in their beast form, their throats close slightly, and they snore. But Leng Ran in his human form usually doesn't snore, only when he's very tired.

"Hmph, I knew it, I knew it." Leng Yi'an suddenly got angry, then straightened up and looked at Leng Ran with a displeased expression, though it wasn't noticeable on his little triangular snake head.

"Xiao An, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Leng Ran asked gently.

"Dad is right. So you snore and it's disturbing Dad's sleep. That's why Dad doesn't want you to sleep with us. Dad wasn't lying to me after all."

"What did your dad say?" Leng Ran asked, a hint of heat in his voice.

"Dad said you snore and it will disturb his sleep, so he won't sleep with you!"

"So you mean if I don't snore, your dad will let me sleep with you guys?"

"Yes, Aunt Aduo and Uncle Aniu sleep together, so naturally we, Father and Dad should sleep together too!" Leng Yi'an's thoughts were simple: her father was her own father, and her father-in-law was her own father-in-law.

That means they have to be together, otherwise why would they call each other "family"?

Leng Ran finally understood what the kid was trying to say.

He immediately thought of a way to get closer to Agui.

"My good son, you are truly a good son to your father. Your father knows." At this moment, Leng Ran felt that his own child was really too cute, the most handsome child in the entire tribe.

Xie Yungui was unaware that his eldest son had already sold him out.

Today, Xie Yungui cooked several large pots of fish and meat, adding some watercress. It tasted very good, and the tribe members enjoyed the meal.

"Chief Agui, I've discovered that this spiky beast is delicious whether it's boiled, fried, or roasted. I really love it!" Amin felt that he had really gained weight.

He used to struggle to even eat his fill, let alone gain weight. Now, he eats and drinks to his heart's content every day, living a life of unparalleled comfort.

"Fish is delicious and there are many ways to eat it, but you can't eat it in winter. During the flowering season, the fish need to spawn, so they are generally not caught. Therefore, you can only eat it during the golden fruit season." Xie Yungui understood that no matter how much fish there is, you have to respect it. Only proper fishing can ensure longevity.

"Chief Agui, why is it called a fish? Why not a spiny beast?" Afeng asked, puzzled.

"I just made up this name myself. I think 'fish' sounds nice, but 'spiny beast' is also fine. As long as you know what it is, you don't need to worry too much about the name."

"That's true. It's like how we call wild rabbits 'jumping beasts' in other tribes." A-Feng indicated that he understood.

Xie Yungui has been very busy these past few days because he has a lot of dried fish to process and a lot of fish meat to dry.

Fortunately, with the help of the tribe members, they finally managed to get through the ordeal.

"Agui, we're going hunting tomorrow." Leng Ran walked over and sat down next to Xie Yungui.

"Okay, I'll take my people to gather resources one last time tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful. I'll go help with the remaining rice over there in a couple of days, and we can harvest it all at once."

"Yes, that's what I think too. Although our tribe already has quite a lot of food stored up, this is still not enough. After all, no one knows what will happen during the snow season, and having more food provides an extra layer of protection."

"Yes, having food gives us confidence. Ah Gui, you're really amazing." Leng Ran looked at Xie Yun Gui tenderly.

Xie Yungui blushed a little under his gaze, his fluffy fox ears twitched uncomfortably, and then he lowered his head.

Seeing that it was about time, Leng Ran left without saying anything more.

Xie Yungui watched Leng Ran leave and breathed a sigh of relief: How come this guy is getting more and more flirtatious?

Could he be a demon in disguise? No, aren't beastmen demons? Humans turning into beasts, and beasts turning into humans—isn't that how it is in ancient legends? But they're called spirits, and they possess all sorts of unpredictable magic.

The people here are called orcs. They don't know magic, but they know how to charm people.

Xie Yungui had another dream while sleeping that night.

However, this time the dream wasn't about the original owner of the body, nor anyone else, but about the cave and Leng Ran.

The discomfort of being entangled was mixed with extreme pleasure, a true experience of experiencing both ice and fire.

Xie Yungui suddenly woke up from his sleep, breathing heavily, and then, with an incredulous expression, lifted the animal skin covering his stomach...

How could I have such a dream?

As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. But I don't miss that rascal snake at all! Why did I dream about him, and why did I dream about him...?

Could it really be because I've been single for too long?

Xie Yungui glanced at his two sleeping cubs, then lifted the animal skin, got off the kang (heated brick bed), and walked out of the house.

The moonlight in the courtyard was bright, but Xie Yungui felt uneasy.

I've really been poisoned, and it's cold-burning snake venom!
