Si Yan recoiled as if electrocuted, then clenched her fist.
My face flushed, and I suddenly felt embarrassed.
She turned and looked at the fire in front of her. The heat made her face flush red.
Yes, she blushed; it must have been from the heat of the fire, and it had nothing to do with him.
The snake-beastman looked at her slightly reddened ears, then went around behind her and put his arm around her.
His chin rested on her shoulder, and his magnetic voice rang in her ear.
"Baby, I want to mate with you."
He paused slightly, hearing her heartbeat quicken, "But I'm afraid you're pregnant."
Other males are eager for females to bear their offspring.
But he dared not let her have children.
It hadn't been long since he last gave birth to a female cub, and the fear of almost losing his life to Si Yan still lingered in his mind.
They already have six offspring, four snake cubs and two dragon cubs, which is enough.
But Si Yan seemed to be very fertile, so he dared not gamble.
To be honest, Si Yan herself didn't want to have children.
But they can't just stop having sex because of this, can they?
That won't do. If she can't sleep with her serpent husband, she'll definitely be too depressed to sleep.
Si Yan's little mind began to think about how to prevent pregnancy in this world.
"Hey." An annoyed voice came from the cave entrance.
Si Yan and Wang Qi turned around at the same time.
Upon seeing Mingji, a tall and handsome man dressed in black animal skins at the cave entrance, with burning black eyes staring at them with a displeased expression.
It's really unpleasant to see others taking advantage of your family's wealth.
The snake-beastman immediately recognized the black priest who had abducted Si Yan and became on guard.
Si Yan stood up and introduced, "Wang, this is my brother. Mingji."
She took his hand and walked to Mingji's side.
“Brother, this is my beast husband, Si Wang.”
Mingji stared at the snake-beastman in front of him with hostility, as if he were a robber who had stolen his treasure.
The snake-beastman squinted at him. His cold, sinister eyes held a hint of murderous intent.
Si Yan suddenly took Ming Ji's hand.
The two men frowned simultaneously, looking at her with puzzlement.
Then, Si Yan took their hands and gently shook them.
She smiled and said, "From now on, we're family!"
Both men got goosebumps at the same time.
The moment Si Yan turned to leave the cave, the two of them immediately let go of each other's hands in disgust.
Mingji grabbed a piece of animal hide and frantically wiped his hands.
Wang didn't have a handkerchief, so he just vigorously wiped his hands on the wall.
They suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then they both looked away in disgust!
It was freezing cold outside. The snake-beastman looked at the snow-covered landscape, hesitated for a moment, and then left the cave.
Si Yan was gathering firewood ahead. Wang followed behind.
After going outside to feel the cold wind, the discomfort from my previous heat quickly subsided.
Si Yan was busy for a while before she realized that Wang was following her.
He looked exhausted and weak from the cold environment and was about to fall asleep.
She quickly pushed the snake-beastman into the cave.
The snake-beastman, who couldn't be with Si Yan, looked unhappy.
Si Yan took out several large animal hides from her spatial storage and wrapped them around him. She then pushed him to the fire to warm himself.
"Stay here and don't wander off," Si Yan commanded. With that, Si Yan left the cave again to gather firewood.
Inside the cave, Mingji scoffed and said mockingly to Wang, "Ha, a burden."
Wang Han's cold gaze swept over him.
The two males' gazes clashed intensely.
Si Yan returned with the firewood in her arms. She asked with a smile, "Brother, what good food is there on the snow mountain?"
Mingji's gaze immediately became languid.
"Eat sprouts in spring, melons in summer, fruits in autumn, and roots in winter. What do you think we should eat now?"
Si Yan smiled expectantly and said, "Let's eat winter bamboo shoots!"
Mingji paused, his lips twitching. "Ginseng and radishes from the snow mountain are all good things."
Si Yan said expectantly, "I want to eat!"
Mingji: "Fine, I can't do anything with you. I'll go dig one for you."
Mingji went out to dig for food, and Siyan brought out all the spices she had collected.
She plans to prepare a hot pot broth and a bone broth broth.
On such a cold day, how delicious it would be to eat a hot pot with two separate broths.
So she stewed a pot of soup with wild animal bones and prepared a spicy broth with various spices.
Wang, wrapped in a thick animal hide, squatted down beside her and asked, "Baby, is there anything I can help you with?"
Si Yan took out a piece of fatty and lean rib meat and said, "Wang, slice it into thin slices."
The snake-beastman extended a finger, its fingertip hooking out a sharp claw, and slashed back and forth across the chunk of flesh.
Soon, slices of meat rolls were piled up on the side.
Si Yan placed the meat rolls on a stone plate, then took them outside the cave to freeze and preserve them using the natural temperature.
She then processed some animal intestines, tendons, ears, hooves, and so on.
When Mingji returned, he brought back a lot of those big winter bamboo shoots from the ground, some peanut-like foods, some snow mountain radishes, and very thick, plump, spherical yams.
Si Yan was pleasantly surprised, "There are even yams here!"
Mingji smiled and nodded, then took the food to the boiled snow water near the cave to wash it.
After being cleaned, the food that was brought back had been prepared, with sliced bamboo shoots, peanuts, radishes, and yams placed in their respective plates.
Si Yan turned to Ming Ji and smiled, "Since we didn't have a divided hot pot, we just hung two small pots."
