Looking at Si Yan, who had dealt with Xiong Nai and the four bear cubs, Xi Qing asked Bei Ji, "Bei Ji, has that bad female lost her mind?"
Bei Ji nodded and said seriously, "I've heard that there's a kind of witchcraft that can make people possessed."
Xi Qing: "So the bad female is possessed by an evil spirit?"
Bei Ji murmured, "If she wasn't possessed, why would the evil female say we didn't steal it, arrest the bad guys, make those who slandered us apologize, and even... fight with other females for us?"
Si Yan was still angry about what had happened earlier. She angrily said to the two little brats who were whispering to each other, "Come back with me!"
Xi Qing and Bei Ji exchanged a glance.
Going back will only result in getting beaten up again, right?
A bad female is a bad female; her nature is hard to change!
Xi Qing and Bei Ji returned to the cave. They had rushed out in the morning to avoid a beating, but now they probably couldn't escape it this time.
The two children waited anxiously in the cave for Si Yan to beat them up, but they saw Si Yan bring in the newly woven straw mats from outside, lay them under the animal skin, and test them; they were much softer.
The two kids huddled in the corner watching her. They'd been beaten before, so they were waiting for her to beat them up.
But then Si Yan poked at the fire in the room a couple of times, making it burn again, and then put the remaining yellow potatoes into the fire to roast.
Xi Qing whispered to Bei Ji, "When did the wicked female learn to use divine fire?"
Fire is considered extremely sacred by orcs. In the Rock Village tribe, only the village chief has fire and knows how to start a fire. Most of the orcs in the Rock Village tribe eat raw food.
Yesterday, Xi Qing and Bei Ji had stared at the fire with puzzlement, but they hadn't really thought about it deeply. Today, seeing Si Yan fiddling with the fire so easily, the two boys were even more confused.
Bei Ji shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he really is possessed by an evil spirit."
Xi Qing frowned: "Being possessed allows you to control divine fire?"
After grilling the leftover meat from yesterday, Si Yan sprinkled it with salt and pepper. Then she called to the two kids, "Come here, eat with us!"
Xi Qing held onto Bei Ji tightly, and Bei Ji did not move when he saw this.
Winning over the villain's cub isn't something that can be done overnight. Si Yan wasn't in a hurry. After eating a roasted potato and some roasted meat, she left alone.
After Si Yan left, Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked at each other in bewilderment.
How strange, those bad females... didn't hit them.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji were starving. They rushed forward. The roasted potatoes and meat were a little hot, but... they were so delicious!
Si Yan found a large log and dragged it back to the cave.
I want to make a container, a container for taking a bath.
Unlike male orcs who can transform into animal form and use their claws to carve containers, she possesses a silver dagger. However, silver is relatively soft, and it would likely break quickly if used to carve wood.
How do I make a bucket?
For a moment, Si Yan was troubled.
The two little ones, having finished eating, were still staring at her from inside the cave.
Xi Qing suddenly spoke up and asked, "You wicked female, what are you doing?"
Si Yan: "I want to make a bucket."
Bei Ji: "What is a bucket?"
Si Yan gestured, "It's like this, the wood is hollow inside, it can hold water. But I can't dig it out of this piece of wood right now."
Bei Ji looked at her in confusion and asked, "Don't you have a snake scale?"
Si Yan turned her head: "Snake scales?"
Bei Ji nodded: "Probably, possibly, it's the snake scales left behind by the father beast."
Si Yan blinked. She remembered. When she was tidying up the room, she saw a large, translucent, purple scale. She hadn't thought of what it was for, but she thought it was quite pretty, so she just left it... yes, she left it by the bed.
Si Yan quickly searched around the bed and found this beautiful snake scale.
Looking at the snake scale that was bigger than her palm, Si Yan suddenly thought, if the scales of the father beast of the four cubs are this big, then how big must his true form be!
Si Yan turned to the two children and asked, "How do we use these snake scales?"
Xi Qing gave her a mocking look, and Bei Ji said, "Female, you can try using it to plan some wood."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan used her snake scales to scratch the wood, and found that the hard wood was as easy to cut as tofu.
"!"
This thing is so much better than her dagger!
"It's really useful," Si Yan couldn't help but say.
Bei Ji said, "The father beast is very powerful. It's a pity you don't want him."
Si Yan looked at the snake scales.
The father of the major villains, a truly formidable villain himself, is naturally incredibly powerful. But that's irrelevant to her; she has no intention of actually forming a beast companion.
What's more, it was the snake, which she feared most.
Use anything useful quickly. Si Yan scraped, planed, and trimmed the large piece of wood as easily as cutting tofu, and soon she had made two wooden buckets.
A smaller bucket is used to carry water, and a larger bucket is used for bathing.
After doing all this, she carefully put away the precious snake scale, which was even more useful than a blade, took the water bucket to the stream to fetch water, then boiled the water in a stone pot. She did this several times, filling the wooden tub for bathing to more than half full.
The two little ones stared at her, wondering what she was up to.
"Xiqing, come and take a bath," Si Yan said.
Xi Qing's face darkened: "I'm not taking a bath!"
Si Yan: "If I don't shower, bugs will grow on my body and I'll feel itchy."
Xi Qing: "I'm used to the itch."
Si Yan's face also darkened: "No shower, no dinner tonight!"
Xi Qing snorted. The wicked female would either beat him or starve him; it was always the same few tricks: "Fine, I won't eat then!"
