Shen Miao was speechless. She stood up, and Lin Lang took a step back when she saw this. She hurriedly said, "Yuan Yuan, let's go back."
The little female beast let out a soft "oh," peeked out from her mother's arms, waved to Shen Miao, and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Aunt Shen Miao."
Yuanyuan didn't really understand the meaning of kneeling. She just really liked Aunt Shenmiao, so she didn't forget to say goodbye before leaving. Shenmiao waved back at her, but when she turned around, her face darkened.
In the courtyard, Da Bao stood there, already crying his eyes out.
Shen Miao walked over, pulled him into the room, and asked in a calm voice, "Do you know you were wrong?"
"I was wrong, Mother." Da Bao cried and knelt down in front of Shen Miao.
"Where did I go wrong?" Shen Miao didn't soften her heart.
Da Bao sobbed, "I shouldn't have hit people, and I shouldn't have run away after hitting them. Also, I should have gone out just now. I shouldn't have let my mother apologize for me; I should have apologized myself."
Shen Miao looked at him: "Do you know why I didn't let you leave?"
Da Bao shook his head, looking completely bewildered.
"Because if you go out, you'll get a beating from the little female beast's mother, just like you hit the little female beast. Mother didn't want you to get beaten, so she apologized on your behalf, but you should bear the consequences yourself." Shen Miao explained the reasoning to Da Bao little by little.
Da Bao isn't stupid, it's just that he sometimes can't grasp things when it comes to Shen Miao.
He listened attentively, feeling that he understood a lot and realized his mother's good intentions. He suddenly grew up.
...
During a break in training, Huo Hu ran over and asked Shen Miaoyan what to do with the corpse of the rock scorpion.
Shen Miao was startled and asked, "What corpse?"
Fire Tiger said matter-of-factly, "It's the corpse of the Rock Scorpion Clan's young chieftain. Last time, the Flood Dragon Beastmen tried to take it, but they were defeated by me and didn't dare to take it anymore."
"You brought the body back?" Shen Miao asked, her face filled with a dreamy expression.
At the time, she thought that Huo Hu was just taking the corpse and wanted to throw it far away so as not to let the Jiaolong beastman benefit from it. Who knew that he would actually bring it all the way back to the Beast Domain!
Fire Tiger nodded his big head, "Yeah, I threw it in the bushes."
It took Shen Miao to see it. Shen Miao didn't really want to see it, but she couldn't refuse Huo Hu's insistence, so she had no choice but to go and take a look. She thought that after a few days, the corpse would definitely have decomposed. But to her surprise, the corpse hadn't changed at all and looked exactly the same as when it had just died.
"How could this be?" Shen Miao was greatly surprised.
Fire Tiger scratched its big head with its paw, somewhat puzzled, and hesitated before saying, "I've heard that many beastmen want the corpses of the Rock Scorpion Clan, apparently because their flesh can enhance spiritual power."
Shen Miao's expression cracked. "Eating human flesh?"
Fire Tiger nodded.
Shen Miao found it hard to accept and took two steps back. Although the Rock Scorpion Beastman's true form was a scorpion, he was now in human form, so what was the difference between him and human flesh?
"Let's just throw him into the mountains."
Fire Tiger suggested, "Why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe some orcs who need it will come looking for you."
Shen Miao didn't believe it, but she still agreed to Huo Hu's suggestion. She wanted to see if anyone would actually come looking for her because of a corpse.
If they really could, why didn't they go to the Rock Scorpion Clan's lair, since there were many Rock Scorpion Clan members they had killed there?
Huo Hu said with a complicated expression, "Actually, the bodies of those Rock Scorpion Beastmen had already been divided up by the surrounding Beastmen not long after we left."
Shen Miao: ?
She didn't believe him, so Huo Hu said, "I can take you to see."
Shen Miao rode the Fire Tiger to the Rock Scorpion Beastmen's lair and found that the corpses that had been lying all over the ground had indeed disappeared.
Shen Miao refused to believe it and searched everywhere, but naturally found nothing.
This is amazing; it completely overturned her worldview.
After returning home, Shen Miao kept talking about this matter. She didn't have anyone dispose of the body of the young chief of the Rock Scorpion Clan. Instead, she planned to try and see if anyone would come to buy it.
Two days later, an orc wrapped in a strange black garment found Shen Miao and said, "I heard you have the corpses of Rock Scorpion orcs here. I want to buy them."
The other party was very straightforward, but Shen Miao's heart was in turmoil.
Someone actually came to buy the corpse. Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing. However, Shen Miao remained very calm, looking like a seasoned veteran who specialized in selling the corpses of Rock Scorpion Beastmen.
What price are you willing to offer?
As she spoke, Shen Miao stared intently at the other person's face, trying to discern what they looked like.
But the orc was wrapped up so tightly that nothing could be seen.
The strange orc didn't care about Shen Miao's probing. He rummaged in his pocket for a while and pulled out a small bag that looked heavy. He asked, "Is this enough?"
Shen Miao discovered that his hands were also wrapped in a strange leather-like substance.
She stared at it for a while, then looked away, took the somewhat heavy little bag, opened it, and found that it was full of beast crystals, and each one was of excellent quality.
This person is really generous, she thought to herself.
"The Rock Scorpion Beastman's corpse is yours." Shen Miao readily agreed and led the strange beastman to see the corpse.
The other party looked the corpse up and down, seemingly quite satisfied. He nodded slightly to Shen Miao, then took out a huge piece of animal hide, wrapped the corpse tightly, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and strode away.
Shen Miao glanced at the departing figure, then at the bag of beast crystals in her hand, feeling a sense of unease and disorientation.
After returning home, she couldn't hold back any longer and told Qingchen about it. Qingchen, surprisingly, acted as if it were nothing and said to her, "If you've sold it, you've sold it. Just keep the beast crystal safe."
Shen Miao asked, "Why are you so calm?"
"The corpses of some ethnic groups have peculiar uses, so it's not surprising that some people specialize in buying them," Qingchen said calmly.
Shen Miao's mind raced. "Then, since the Rock Scorpion Beastman's corpse is so peculiar, why didn't any of you think of bringing it back?"
Qingchen looked at her like she was an idiot: "Not everyone can accept using corpses as food."
"vomit."
Shen Miao gagged, clasped her hands in a fist salute to Qing Chen, and gave an awkward smile. It was her mistake; she shouldn't have asked such a stupid question.
Although this incident brought Shen Miao a small windfall, she refused to think about it afterward. Every time she did, a picture would appear in her mind: a large pot with pieces of meat being cooked.
The flesh was cut from a human corpse.
I can't take it anymore.
Shen Miao hadn't dared to eat meat for several days, afraid she'd vomit if she did, but then someone came to her with a fuss about meat.
