Shen Miao never expected that Qing Chen, lying in bed, could cause her trouble.
The incident began when a female beast came to the tribe and inquired about Qingchen's whereabouts. She even specifically asked to live with him. At first, she ignored her because no matter how much the female beast inquired, she would only learn that Qingchen already had a female beast and even cubs.
Once she finds out that Qingchen is no longer a "single beast," she will definitely leave.
However, she was wrong.
The female beast not only didn't leave, but instead went around shouting that she wanted to live with Qingchen.
The news spread throughout the tribe, and everyone was waiting for Shen Miao's reaction.
Shen Miao found it boring and ignored it.
Then, not two days later, she heard rumors in the tribe that she had chickened out and was going to give Qingchen up. Shen Miao laughed in anger. This female beast was too arrogant and had already touched her sore spot.
Shen Miao was cooking at home when the cat-beastman came to her house and told her. She was furious and left the half-cooked meal behind, striding out of the house.
The female beast was still spreading rumors in the most crowded part of the tribe. Shen Miao walked straight over, crossed her arms, and said with a half-smile, "I heard you've been ruining my reputation lately?"
The crowd was quiet.
The female beast, who was speaking eloquently, paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. She looked Shen Miao up and down and said disdainfully, "You are Qing Chen's female beast? The rumors are true, you are indeed not worthy of him."
"Whether you're worthy or not isn't something you can decide with your words. If it were based on words, with your sharp tongue, you would have had orcs by now. The truth is, no orcs want you." Shen Miao's sharp tongue could drive anyone crazy.
The female beast was indeed furious, pointing at Shen Miao and saying, "Who said I have no orcs who want me? I just don't like any of them. A female beast like me deserves the strongest orc!"
"Oh, what do you pair it with? Your mouth?"
The female beast looked young and was easily provoked. She was also proud and knew she couldn't win an argument with Shen Miao, so she simply said, "I'm not going to talk to you. Do you dare to fight me?"
According to the rules of the orc tribe, if a female orc takes a liking to another female orc, she can challenge her. If she wins the challenge, she can be with the orc she has chosen.
What a fucking ridiculous rule.
Without saying a word, Shen Miao walked out of the tribe. The female beast chased after her, chattering incessantly, "Don't regret it. I'm the most powerful female beast in our tribe. I'll beat you until you scream and cry."
"Shut up!" Shen Miao suddenly turned her head, grabbed the female beast's shoulder, and with a forceful over-the-shoulder throw, slammed the female beast to the ground.
The female beast was still in a daze when she realized something. She suddenly jumped up and shouted, "No, no, you attacked suddenly. I wasn't prepared!"
Shen Miao completely ignored her.
This kind of challenge is ridiculous in itself; she must be bored to talk to her about morality.
She clenched her fist and slammed it at the female beast repeatedly. The female beast was forced to retreat, never expecting Shen Miao to be so skilled. She didn't even have the strength to fight back.
The female beast was knocked to the ground again, and this time she couldn't get up for a long time.
Shen Miao looked down at her condescendingly: "Want to come again?"
The female animal cried; it was the first time she had been beaten like this, and she felt so ashamed.
"This shouldn't be happening! How could this be? You're lying! You're lying! You're deliberately deceiving me! How can you be so strong?" the female beast wailed.
Shen Miao: "..."
She grabbed the female beast by the clothes, lifted her off the ground, and warned, "Qingchen is my beastman. Don't let me find out you have any designs on me again, or I'll cripple you!"
The female animal hiccuped in fright.
Shen Miao abandoned the person and turned to leave.
The female beast felt ashamed and got up, slinking away.
Shen Miao returned home as if nothing had happened, only to see Sanbao running out, grabbing Shen Miao's hand and saying, "Mother, Mother, the meat is burnt."
I went to the kitchen and sure enough, the pot was burnt.
Shen Miao poured out the burnt meat, refilled the water, and threw in a few pieces of meat.
During dinner that day, Qingchen felt that Shen Miao was watching him, but when he turned his gaze away, Shen Miao pretended that nothing had happened and lowered her eyes.
He felt something was off, coughed, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You're so charming, you already have a baby, and now even female beasts are challenging me to duels," An Ran said with utter sarcasm.
Qingchen hadn't expected this. He knew the rules of the tribe and didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing his reaction, Shenmiao sneered, "You're not blaming me for meddling, are you? Fine, next time a female beast comes, I won't do anything. I'll just give you to her."
"I have no intention of forming a mate with a second female beast," Qingchen said solemnly.
Shen Miao's mood wasn't much better either.
Qingchen didn't understand why she was so angry. He planned to say a few words to Shen Miao when she routinely examined his injured leg, but Shen Miao just examined him and didn't say a word more.
This left Qingchen unsure how to start a conversation, since Shen Miao had always been the one to initiate the conversation.
They could only watch helplessly as Shen Miao walked away.
Qingchen glanced silently at his legs, pulled the animal skin over them, and then went to sleep.
The next day, Shen Miao returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. She instructed the children to take care of Qing Chen at home before going to the beast farm herself.
She didn't even bring Jiuying this time, because Jiuying's body was still recovering.
Her luck was as bad as ever. This time, she didn't run into Xia Ying, but instead picked up a seriously injured orc by the roadside.
The orc was covered in wounds and looked as if he were dead.
Shen Miao initially had no intention of causing trouble, but just as she was about to walk over, the orc suddenly let out a weak cry: "Help..."
She took a step forward, then pulled it back.
Oh well, it's a life after all.
Shen Miao put down the wooden basin, squatted down in front of the orc, and called out, "Is he still awake?"
The orc didn't react; it seemed he had fainted again.
Shen Miao turned the person over and saw the other person's face clearly. She was stunned. This orc looked so familiar. She felt like she had seen him somewhere before. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. Wasn't this the leader of the Rhinoceros Mountain Tribe?
The one who brought people to rob their tribe last time.
Shen Miao's feelings were somewhat complicated.
What a twist of fate! She's now going to save an orc who stole from their tribe.
In fact, even if she left it alone, it should be fine, since the other party wasn't a good person to begin with.
Shen Miao was torn between her conscience and her own, but in the end, she couldn't overcome her moral hurdle. After all, it was a life; if she didn't save it, the orc would probably really die.
With a sigh, Shen Miao slowly channeled her supernatural power into the other person's body.
After a short while, the orc regained consciousness. He opened his eyes blankly, scanned his surroundings, and finally his gaze landed on Shen Miao's face.
"It was you who saved me?"
