Chapter 5: Be My Beast Husband
Liu Aya couldn't stop her.
Then, Yunzhi spent the Five Beast Coins to hire someone to carry Chen Qi back to Yunzhi's cave.
Looking at the skinny fox orc lying in the cave, his breath was even weaker than before.
Liu Aya couldn't help but sigh again: "You don't want so many healthy and strong males, but you chose this sickly one."
Yunzhi knew that her behavior would seem outrageous to outsiders.
But she couldn't tell Liu Aya that this fox orc Chen Qi was an old acquaintance from her previous life.
After Liu Aya left, Yunzhi saw that Chen Qi seemed a little uncomfortable lying on the ground, so she adjusted his sleeping position and took a piece of animal skin to cover him.
His eyelids moved slightly.
Yunzhi thought he was about to wake up, but he didn't open his eyes.
Yunzhi went out to the river, caught a few fish, and picked up a small bag of mushrooms.
After coming back, I felt a little tired today, so I leaned against the stone wall and took a nap for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened my eyes, I met those slender and upturned eyes.
In the dim cave, those yellow obsidian eyes seemed to be shining brightly, making it hard to ignore them.
The fat on her cheeks has disappeared, making her chin look even more pointed, but there is still a natural charm flowing between her eyebrows.
It was Shen Qi who woke up.
"You bought me?"
His voice was a little hoarse from not speaking for a long time.
Yunzhi nodded.
A hint of self-mockery appeared on Shen Qi's lips: "Can't you see...I'm going to die? You are doing a losing business."
A month ago, Shen Qi suddenly fell seriously ill and fell into a coma.
He was sold to the black market by the tribesmen he had offended.
When he woke up, he was already at a stall selling males.
The boss saw that he looked outstanding and thought he could sell him for a good price, but he found that Shen Qi was getting thinner day by day, and his coma time was getting longer and longer, and he looked like he would not live long.
Although I didn't abuse him, I was too lazy to care about him and let him fend for himself.
"You should have a good rest. Maybe I won't lose money."
Yunzhi smiled and said nothing more.
Anyway, it won’t be long before Shen Qi notices the changes in his body.
Chen Qi looked at Yun Zhi quietly. Fatigue came over him, and soon his narrow, upturned eyes closed again.
I saw him fall asleep again.
Yunzhi started to prepare food.
Use a bone knife to scrape off the scales of the caught fish, cut open the fish's belly, discard the internal organs and gills, then wash them together with the mushrooms, put them in the pot, light the firewood with a flint, and hang the big pot on the crossed wooden sticks to stew.
There is no seasoning, just the fresh taste of the fish.
When the fish soup turned white and the fish meat was cooked and gave off a fragrant aroma, Yunzhi divided the fish soup in the pot into two large bowls and placed one bowl in front of Shen Qi.
He finished the other bowl happily.
When Shen Qi woke up again, it was already late at night.
The aroma of food wafted into his nose, making Shen Qi, who had been hungry for a long time, even hungrier.
Only then did he notice a bowl of milky white fish soup next to him.
At this point it is no longer as hot as it was when it was just out of the pot, only slightly warm.
Chen Qi picked up the fish soup and drank it slowly. The fresh fragrance of fish and mushrooms lingered between his lips and teeth.
Shen Qi stared at the empty bowl, his eyes a little dazed.
Since the mother died.
It had been a long time since he had eaten food prepared by others.
And so delicious.
Moreover, there didn't seem to be anything else added to this bowl of soup, unlike some tribes that would add strong spices to food to cover up the fishy smell of meat.
Chen Qi looked at Yun Zhi, who had already fallen asleep on the stone bed.
His eyes became deep.
Why would this female be so nice to him for no reason?
Most of the females who come to the black market to buy male animals are attracted by the males' bodies and use them as bed warmers.
He was a dying sickly man, with only his face being okay, and his body being skinny and bony. Who would be interested in such a male beast?
Shen Qi had no clue for the time being, but he always remained highly vigilant.
But in the following days, Shen Qi became even more confused.
Yunzhi always kept a certain distance from him and would not touch his body without his consent.
Every morning she would go out and bring back some food, cook it herself in different ways, and then put it next to him.
When he wakes up, there will be food ready to eat.
If Chen Qi didn't speak for a day, Yun Zhi wouldn't ask any questions, but would just stay quietly by the side and do her own thing.
Such a peaceful life gradually relaxed Chen Qi's tense nerves and he also developed a lot of affection for Yun Zhi.
The females he had met before were all greedy and lustful, profit-driven, and only cared about taking.
Yunzhi is different from them.
If Yunzhi knew what Chen Qi was thinking, she would probably laugh out loud.
Some people keep giving, not because they are kind, but because they want to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.
In the future, Chen Qi will not only lead the Fox Tribe, but also become the largest herbal merchant across the north and south by virtue of his status as a level ten wood-type ability user.
If she could establish a good relationship with Chen Qi early on and cling to this golden thigh, it would be of great benefit to her.
Seeing that Chen Qi was awake for longer and longer periods of time every day, his always weak body gradually began to feel energetic.
Yunzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her guess was correct. The day when Chen Qi's body fully recovered should be the day when his supernatural powers awakened.
Because Yunzhi never made any requests to him.
Finally, Shen Qi couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy me?"
Yunzhi made no secret of her intentions: "I'm almost an adult, and I need a male to complete my mate contract."
"You want me to be your beastly husband?"
A blush flashed across Shen Qi's beautiful face, making her look even brighter and more charming.
But after thinking of something, Shen Qi's expression returned to normal, and he lowered his eyebrows: "Sorry, I can't agree to it."
He could repay the favor, but he couldn't commit himself to a female he had only known for a short time.
Yunzhi knew he had misunderstood and explained, "It's just a fake contract, in name only. I won't really force you."
Shen Qi looked at Yun Zhi's face.
For a female, her appearance is above average.
Because of frequent sun exposure, her skin color is not particularly fair and there are some spots on her face, but she has beautiful black hair and big eyes like black gemstones. When she stares at people, it can even make people's hearts tremble. There are two faint dimples next to her cherry-red lips.
Such a female should not face the situation of not being able to find a male beast to be her husband.
Yunzhi was a little confused by Chen Qi's gaze, and subconsciously touched her face: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
