Chapter 3 The First Step to Changing Yourself
Looking at the clear, clean river, combined with the distant mountain peaks, it's simply a stunning landscape painting!
Shu Ning painstakingly pulled some vines from the bushes nearby, then found a suitable stone and began to smash the vines against a large rock.
To wash away this grime, you need the right tools.
After smashing it enough, shake off the residue, wash it clean, and a simple bath scrubber is complete.
Seeing that there were no other beastmen around, Shu Ning took off her fur and walked into the clear river water.
First, wash the fur clean and hang it to dry on a large rock.
Even without laundry detergent, it's still good to wash away the sweat on the fur.
Next, use the freshly made bath scrubber to scrub off the dirt on your body again and again.
Hair oil makes tangled hair difficult to clean. There's no other way but to slowly comb it out with your hands since there's no comb.
As Shu Ning washed up, clumps of filth floated up from the river behind her...
Humming a song, basking in the sunlight, with cool water flowing gently beneath her, Shu Ning, who had been tense all day, finally relaxed.
Looking at my reflection in the water, I saw that my face was so chubby that my features were almost invisible, and I also had these pimples.
Shu Ning closed her eyes, not wanting to look anymore.
The first step to changing yourself is to cleanse your body.
Lost in her bath, Shu Ning was completely unaware that a pair of dark green eyes were lazily watching her from a nearby tree.
The man's eyebrows were sharp as knives, his face was cold and deep, and his slender body had smooth muscle lines, every inch of which exuded a charming yet dangerous aura.
"What is this female up to now?" The man wondered, but he wasn't interested, when he saw Shu Ning making a bath scrubbing tool.
The thought of Shu Ning's arrogant and domineering behavior in the past, how she would beat and scold them, her beastly husbands, and how she would pester them relentlessly, revealed a ruthless glint in the man's eyes.
Is this female up to some new way to torment them again...?
call……
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and exhale impatiently.
When Yi Yuan saw Shu Ning take off the animal skin, his pupils contracted slightly.
"What is she doing? Doesn't she know how many males are around here?!"
Looking around, there were quite a few males before he arrived, but since his appearance, all the surrounding animals have run away.
Because he was the most powerful python in the area.
Anyone who dares to approach a python is courting death...
Suddenly remembering the scene of all the animals running away, Yi Yuan felt relieved.
But then he remembered how Shu Ning, this female, had taken advantage of his kindness, and a surge of irritation welled up inside him.
He had accidentally fallen off a cliff, covered in injuries, and with winter approaching, he desperately needed a large amount of food. When he was on the verge of death, the fat woman Shu Ning took advantage of him and threatened him to become her beastly husband.
She would only save him if he was willing to become her beastly husband.
Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
What does it matter to him that she was seen naked!
What's so special about her? Just her figure.
And that horribly disfigured face.
Don't waste your time thinking that taking a shower will change anything.
Shu Ning was so engrossed in washing that she didn't notice the man behind her or his thoughts.
After washing in the water for a long time, my originally dark skin has finally become much whiter.
So this is my true skin color! Shu Ning was pleasantly surprised.
I had just gotten up and put on the dried fur when my stomach suddenly started growling.
I'm so hungry...
She didn't eat anything all day, and given her size, she needed more food than the average person.
It is already evening.
Where do we find food? How did Shu Ning always find food before?
Before she got married, her mother would bring her food; after she got married, it was... that green python...
While she was in a daze, a large piece of raw meat suddenly appeared in front of Shu Ning with a "bang".
"Wow……"
When Shu Ning saw such a large piece of meat, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Eat quickly, and then hurry back," Yi Yuan said coldly.
Seeing the female in front of him whose skin had turned white after being washed, a hint of surprise, imperceptible to most people, flashed in his eyes.
Shu Ning then noticed the man who had suddenly appeared beside her.
The male before me had a cold face, narrow eyes as deep as a still pool, a slender figure, and skin as white as jade. He moved silently.
No, are all snakes' skin this white?!
The big black snake I encountered in the woods before was one of them, and this one is another too. It's truly enviable.
"Yi...Yi Yuan?" Shu Ning was surprised, looking at the handsome man in front of her. It was indeed him.
He recalled how Shu Ning had forced him to become her beastly husband, yet now she was still bringing him food.
Isn't it rumored that snakes are cold-blooded animals? After all, she had heard the story of the farmer and the snake since she was a child.
But when did he appear? Or was he always here? Did he see everything...?
Thinking of this, Shu Ning blushed instantly and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Looking at the blush on Shu Ning's face, Yi Yuan wondered if this disgusting female was narcissistic and thought he was peeping at her while she was taking a bath.
Thinking of this, disgust showed in his eyes, and he turned away irritably, no longer looking at her.
"Thank you, but how do we eat it?" Shu Ning asked.
Suddenly, I remembered that Shu Ning used to eat meat raw as soon as she got it, devouring it in no time, as if she was afraid someone would take it from her.
Yi Yuan was taken aback by her question, "Just bite it directly, didn't you always do that?"
"Oh... wait a minute." Shu Ning didn't want to eat raw meat right now. Looking at the setting sun, she wanted to try that method to see if it would work.
Yi Yuan did not answer.
This female used to devour meat as soon as she got her hands on it, and besides, she hasn't eaten anything today.
To hone her survival skills, the Holy Mother stopped bringing her food after they became mates.
Apart from him, none of the other beastmen would care whether she lived or died.
He wouldn't have cared about her if it weren't for the fact that she had once saved his life.
She got up so late again this morning, and she was busy marrying two new beastly husbands.
"..."
For some reason, Yi Yuan's agitation intensified.
A short while later, Shu Ning returned with some firewood gathered from the nearby woods.
If only I had a knife.
Looking at the man beside him, I suddenly noticed a sharp animal bone tucked into the side of his narrow waist.
"Um, can I borrow it for a moment?" Shu Ning looked at his taut abs and shyly pointed to the beast bone at Yi Yuan's waist.
"What are you going to do?" Yi Yuan asked coldly, his eyes lowered.
"You'll see soon enough. Can I borrow it for a bit?" Shu Ning pleaded. The sun was about to set, and she couldn't afford to waste any more time.
Not knowing what she wanted to do, but seeing her sincere eyes, Yi Yuan still took the beast bone from his waist and handed it to her.
"Thank you!" Shu Ning quickly took the animal bone, sat down on the ground, faced the setting sun, sharpened a thin wooden stick, placed it on another thick wooden stick, and spun it rapidly.
Yi Yuan couldn't understand her actions, but he didn't leave. He wanted to see what this female was up to.
Shu Ning tried to learn the method of starting a fire by friction, which she had seen before, and drilled hard.
Although the sun was about to set, it was still very hot, and soon Shu Ning's forehead was covered in a light sheen of sweat.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Suddenly, a wisp of gray smoke slowly emerged from the rotating part.
Upon seeing this, Shu Ning's face lit up with surprise, and she quickened her pace, ignoring the sweat dripping from her forehead.
More and more gray smoke was billowing out...
Suddenly, flames burst forth—
She succeeded!
