Ever since the little snow wolf learned that he could turn into a human, he has been in a state of high excitement.
But it can't tell anyone, and it feels so stifled that it subconsciously starts to distract itself with other things, like chewing on the corner of the table.
Shen Miao made a new set of wooden tables and chairs. Compared to stone benches, wooden tables and chairs are much easier to move, and they also became tools for the little snow wolf to grind its teeth.
When Shen Miao discovered it, the corners of all four tables in the house had been gnawed and pitted by the little snow wolf.
Shen Miao was stunned. Grabbing the little snow wolf by the scruff of its neck, she said incredulously, "Is the family lacking you food or water? How could you be so hungry?"
She really didn't know what was so interesting about chewing on the corner of the table.
Knowing he had done something wrong, the little snow wolf grinned at Shen Miao ingratiatingly, but Shen Miao remained unmoved with a cold face, pointing to the corner of the wall and saying, "Don't try to charm me, I don't fall for that. If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment. Go stand in the corner and face the wall."
The little snow wolf whimpered a few times, then walked over and stood there listlessly, glancing back every now and then, hoping that Shen Miao would change her mind.
But Shen Miao was cold and ruthless, and when she said he would punish her by making her stand, he did so without paying any attention to the pitiful state of the little snow wolf.
The little snow wolf had no choice but to stand facing the wall, feeling wronged.
After Shen Miao left, the cubs all ran over to comfort the little snow wolf. Xiao Sibao was telling it stories, while Sanbao secretly gave it some roasted meat to eat.
The little snow wolf was overjoyed.
It's called a punishment to face the wall, but it's really just a change of scenery, with the kids instead.
Shen Miao was fully aware of all this, but she was too lazy to care and simply turned a blind eye.
...
Every few days, Shen Miao would go to the beast farm to sell blood tofu.
Today is another day to sell blood tofu. Shen Miao also brought along a lot of low-quality beast crystals that she had saved up, which she will sell together.
After the trade with the Ice Tiger Clan ended, she accumulated more and more beast crystals. She kept the high-quality ones and sold the low-quality ones, which could be exchanged for a lot of things.
Beast crystals are also sold in the beast arena, but they are rare.
So as soon as Shen Miao displayed her beast crystals, beastmen came to inquire. Shen Miao quoted the prices she had agreed on beforehand, and after picking and choosing, the other party decided to buy them all.
Shen Miao was happy to sell them all to him.
The orc bought the beast crystal but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he started chatting with Shen Miao. As they talked, he mentioned that he wanted to introduce her to a big client.
Shen Miao didn't think much of it. Firstly, this was a beast arena with many people, so she figured the other party wouldn't dare to do anything. Secondly, she also wanted to find a new channel to sell beast crystals.
So he went with the orc.
The orcs led Shen Miao to a somewhat secluded place, winding their way through the area. Shen Miao felt something was wrong; this place was far from the beast field. Just as she was about to make an excuse to leave, several orcs suddenly appeared around her, smiling and greeting the orc who had led Shen Miao there.
His gaze kept darting towards Chen Miao, clearly filled with ill intent.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and then withdrew the foot she had already stepped out.
The orc led Shen Miao into a stone house. There was only one orc in the house, with a head of dry, messy yellow hair. He looked tall and strong, probably about 1.9 meters tall.
"Brother, I've brought the person."
Shen Miao heard the orc beside her say.
The orc called "Big Brother" glanced at Shen Miao sideways, then suddenly laughed: "She's a female beast."
“Yes, brother,” the orc replied, then said to Shen Miao, “This is my brother, and also the big client I told you about. You talk to my brother.”
A thought flashed through Shen Miao's mind, and she smiled before speaking, "Brother, you want to do business with me, right? Unfortunately, I've already sold all my beast crystals, and I'll have to save them up again before I can cooperate with you."
The orc leader laughed loudly, his laughter filled with contempt for Shen Miao.
After laughing, the orc leaned forward and said with interest, "You think I really want to do business with you?"
“No, isn’t that right? Brother, you’re so valiant and extraordinary, you’re definitely not the kind of beastman who doesn’t keep his word,” Shen Miao said, feigning panic.
The orc chuckled: "You've misunderstood. To tell you the truth, I never intended to cooperate with you."
Shen Miao asked blankly, "Ah, big brother, then, what did this brother say earlier? You wanted to discuss a deal with me?"
"If I hadn't said that, would you have come here?" the orc who brought Shen Miao said sarcastically.
Shen Miao said in a panic, "What, what do you want to do? I just run a small business and don't have many beast crystals. It's no use for you to trick me into coming here."
The orc leader grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said lazily, "I was just trying to scare you. I invited you here to talk business, of course."
Shen Miao asked cautiously, "Then, how do we negotiate this deal?"
"How do we negotiate? Of course, it's up to you to obediently send me all the beast crystals you have in the future. I don't need all of them, just three-quarters will do."
"What will you offer me in exchange, brother?"
The orc leader glared at him, displeased, and said, "I'm giving you face by asking for your beast crystals, and you actually dare to ask me what I'll use to exchange for them? I'd like to exchange something for you, but do you even have the life to take it?!"
The orc who brought Shen Miao back also chimed in, "Be sensible. Big brother is giving you face. If just anyone wanted to show respect, big brother wouldn't be happy to do so."
"Big brother, let me think about it." Shen Miao lowered her eyes, seemingly thinking seriously, but in reality, she was thinking to herself that, just as she had guessed, this was a dark gang that extorted money.
These people do nothing but resort to these low-level methods to steal beast crystals.
If she doesn't agree, she probably won't be able to leave here today.
In a flash, Shen Miao pretended to be trembling with fear and pleaded, "Big brother, isn't three-quarters too much? I still have children to raise at home. If I give it all to you, my children will go hungry."
"What's it to me!" The orc brother spat, startling Shen Miao.
The two orcs burst into laughter upon seeing her like this, as if Shen Miao's appearance amused them.
Shen Miao said tremblingly, "Big brother, how about this? I'll give you half of the beast crystals, and the rest can be considered as you taking pity on me, okay?"
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely deliver it on time, once a month. I won't make you look for me everywhere. Is that alright, brother?"
The orc brother initially wanted to refuse, but the orc next to him whispered a few words in his ear. The orc brother frowned, thought for a moment, and finally agreed.
He said gruffly to An Ran, "You'd better keep your word, or I'll send someone to your house to capture your cubs and kill them for food."
"Big brother, I will definitely do it, I will never break my promise," Shen Miao said meekly.
The orc leader figured that such a timid female beast couldn't cause any trouble, and didn't take Shen Miao seriously.
Anyway, if she doesn't deliver it, he'll bring his men to smash her stall and house!
