Chapter 107 Catching the Piglets

Jiang Xi smiled triumphantly.

She exclaimed again, "The little orcs are so much fun!"

Yves nodded seriously, not giving the two little green snakes the right to decide.

"I understand. I'll make sure they eat grass... oh no... vegetables regularly!"

After this incident, the two little green snakes became noticeably more listless and lay listlessly on Jiang Xi's shoulder for the rest of the journey.

Whenever Jiang Xi turned her head to look, the two little green snakes would blink their watery snake eyes, trying to elicit her pity.

Jiang Xi kept suppressing her laughter, finding it incredibly funny.

However, adequate vegetable intake does indeed contribute to a balanced diet.

Therefore, she will not waver when it comes to health!

That afternoon, they even found a piece of winter melon!

Jiang Xi was so happy she almost jumped for joy. The winter melons were big and plentiful; one could last for several meals.

She quickly replied.

"Write down this location, and call everyone to come and pick them together tomorrow!"

Judging from her fighting strength, along with the two orcs and the two small green snakes that could only bite through the winter melon vines, there was absolutely no way she could move all those winter melons!

Yves nodded.

"I'll call the orcs to come and move it first thing tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Duan Si beside him, afraid that Duan Si would look at him with that gloomy gaze again.

However, this time, Duan Si didn't even glance at him, but simply nodded to the female master.

Jiang Xi felt that the Rehe Valley was truly a treasure trove!

She was full of enthusiasm for the trip ahead.

However, the more you want something, the less likely you are to have it!

The discovery of the winter melon robbed them of all their luck.

After finding the winter melon, they could find nothing but a nest of bird eggs.

The snake-beast people they encountered along the way were all in high spirits and returned home laden with spoils.

Finally, as dusk approached, she had no choice but to return to the Jehol Valley with the two orcs and the little orc.

However, on her way back to the Jehol Valley, she made a special trip to collect a batch of seasonings such as ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns.

But this time, good luck returned!

She found tomatoes behind a patch of chili peppers!

Dana and Dale quickly shook their rattles.

"Sour."

"Sour."

Yves began, “A few days ago, some orcs thought this was also chili pepper, so they picked it and put it on roasted meat, and it was incredibly sour.”

As he spoke, he shook his head, clearly finding the taste unpleasant.

Jiang Xi smiled.

"This is a tomato, also called a tomato. It tastes sour and can be eaten raw or cooked. It's a very versatile ingredient. I can make a tomato and quail egg stir-fry in a bit."

Duan Si silently stepped forward and began picking tomatoes.

Jiang Xi quickly replied.

"Don't pick too many tomatoes. They're not easy to carry. Just pick enough for two or three meals."

Duan Si hummed in agreement and adjusted the pressure of his touch.

Returning from the condiment field laden with their spoils to the glacier, Jiang Xi saw many beastmen gathered by the river, seemingly doing something.

Just then, the squealing of the little pig came from the other side, and the snake-beasts swam around haphazardly, trying to avoid something.

While dodging, they also had to laugh "hahaha".

"The little thing is chasing me!"

Come and chase me!

Jiang Xi instantly knew that Lu Liufeng had caught a piglet!

She jogged over.

But before he could get close, Lu Liufeng squeezed out from the bustling crowd of beastmen.

He could smell the female master's scent.

He laughed when he saw the female mistress running towards him.

"My lady, we've caught three piglets."

However, because his goal was to catch piglets, he lost more than he gained, and the adult pig escaped in the end.

He felt a little regretful, but he didn't say anything that would make him seem incompetent.

Jiang Xi's dark eyes sparkled.

"I'll go take a look!"

Lu Liufeng nodded and then led her forward.

The young snake-beastmen, who were sitting in a circle, quickly made way for the female envoy when they sensed her approach.

"Female Messenger."

"The female messenger has arrived."

Jiang Xi looked at their enthusiastic manner and a strange expression appeared on her face.

She remembered that last time, due to the Lion Roar Tribe's large-scale harvesting, there had been some unpleasantness with the snake-beast people of the Hot River Valley.

They were somewhat cold to me at the time.

Lu Liufeng noticed the female master's confusion and explained.

“Recently, many snake-beastmen have found female masters.”

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.

Have they found the female owner?

She looked up at Lu Liufeng and blinked gently.

Is that what she meant?

Lu Liufeng nodded, his amber eyes filled with a gentle smile.

"Thanks to the female master, so many females have started to come to the Jehol Valley to forage for food."

"And according to the rules of the Jehol Valley, only females and snake-beastmen are allowed to harvest it."

Without needing to say more, Jiang Xi understood.

The females were unwilling to work hard, so the snake-like beastmen of the Hot River Valley diligently helped them.

As a result, the snake-beastmen, who were never popular with the females, suddenly became highly sought after.

Almost every female in the Lion's Roar tribe has a snake beast husband.

Spring has come for the snake-beastmen this winter!!

Jiang Xi smiled and found it quite interesting.

Then she saw the piglets tied to the riverbank by vines.

They should be called wild boar piglets!

Of the three, two have brownish-yellow markings, and one has black and white markings.

She said with some surprise.

"Could there be more than one litter of piglets there?"

Lu Liufeng nodded.

"There should be two or three nests, but they all hid because I was hovering over them."

Jiang Xi's eyes lit up.

"Look at the male and female!"

Although it's unclear whether pigs can reproduce due to inbreeding, if there are both males and females in the litter, they can breed piglets in batches!

There will be so much meat we can't finish it all!

But after she said that, for some reason, the riverbank fell silent for a moment.

Many snake-beastmen quickly swam away, leaving only some young, female-less individuals behind.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.

The beastmen are already so unrestrained, how could they be shy about such a small thing?

Or are they just outgoing in private, but actually quite conservative?

But in Jiang Xi's peripheral vision, all she could see were the snake-kin beastmen, their muscular upper bodies exposed and undressed...

That shouldn't be the case...

Lu Liufeng pursed his lips and took a step forward.

"I'll do it."

He used the wind to roll up the three piglets, turn them over, and quickly check their bellies.

Jiang Xi felt a blur before her eyes, and then it was all over.

Lu Liufeng: "The black and white one is male, and the other two are female."

Jiang Xi didn't think much of it, because she was pleasantly surprised by the result.

"good!"

"From now on, the black and white one will be called Spot, and the other two..."

The other two are so similar that it's impossible to tell them apart.

Jiang Xi thought for a moment, feeling that no matter what she called it, she couldn't understand it, so she said...

"One is named Yiyi, and the other is named Er'er."

Duan Si swam over and stared at the two small pigs with brownish-yellow stripes.

"Who is Yiyi, and who is Er'er?"

Jiang Xi: "..."

If you ask me, who should I ask?

"Hmm... the one that's bigger is called Yiyi, and the one that's smaller is called Er'er."

Yiyi, one by one.

Er'er, er'er.

very good!

Whoever grows up the longest will be Yiyi!

Whoever is small is just... nothing!

Perfect name!
