Chapter 40 Exchanging Beast Crystals



The weather was lovely, so Shen Miao went out.

I haven't been up the mountain for the past few days, so I don't know if there are any prey in the traps.

She has plenty of food at home now, thanks to the trade with the Ice Tiger Clan, which has brought her a lot of meat. But she still wants to go up the mountain to take a look, because she can't eat meat all the time and needs some mountain delicacies to change things up occasionally.

Shen Miao walked slowly, and when she noticed a tail following behind her, her speed did not change at all.

She was just a little surprised that some clueless guy had set his sights on her. She didn't think she had anything worth following right now.

The guy behind him wasn't in a hurry and followed patiently.

Their ambitions are quite grand.

Shen Miao chuckled softly, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.

We had already entered the mountains, and all around us were trees. This was truly a perfect place to do bad things, a place where no one could help us.

Just as the guy had been waiting for this moment, a figure rushed over as Shen Miao bent down to pick mushrooms.

Shen Miao deftly stepped aside, and the figure missed its target, falling heavily into the bushes beside her, squeaking and groaning as it was poked by the thorny trees.

Shen Miao stomped on his abdomen, almost making him vomit blood.

"Who are you, and what are you doing following me?"

This orc looked familiar; he was probably from the tribe, but Shen Miao hadn't had much contact with him and wasn't very familiar with him, only having a vague impression of him.

The orc said painfully, "Ugh, stop stepping on it, it's a misunderstanding."

Shen Miao sneered. Still daring to argue? She pressed down harder with her foot, causing the orc to vomit bile. He hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, you have to let me go if I tell you."

"Who's haggling with you? Whether you let go or not depends on my mood. You'd better tell me honestly. If you're nice, I might spare your life."

The orc looked distressed and said haltingly, "My name is Li Qiu. We are from the same tribe. I live on the easternmost edge of the tribe and don't come here often, so you may not recognize me."

Qingchen's wooden house is in the west. The tribe is very long and complex, so even people from the same tribe may not recognize each other.

"continue."

Li Qiu took a breath: "I am a tiger beastman, I mean you no harm..."

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow: "There's no need for all this useless talk. I have eyes and I can judge for myself. Just tell me, why are you targeting me?"

When this was mentioned, Li Qiu's eyes darted around, and she stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Shen Miao narrowed her eyes and punched Li Qiu directly in the face with her fist, which was as big as a bowl. She knocked out one of the tiger-beastmen's teeth, causing him to cover his head and dodge while screaming in pain.

"Will you tell me or not? Will you tell me or not?"

With each question, a fist followed. In no time, Li Qiu was bruised and swollen, looking completely unrecognizable.

"I'll stop hitting you, please stop!" Li Qiu begged for mercy, her face bruised and swollen.

Shen Miao shook her hand, blew on it to relieve the pain, and said coldly, "Speak!"

Li Qiu shuddered in fright, barely daring to look directly at Shen Miao's terrifying face. What was he thinking? Had he lost his mind? How could he think Shen Miao was easy to deal with?

No, most female beasts are easy to deal with, but Shen Miao is a freak. She is actually stronger than him, a tiger beastman, and her strength is simply heaven-defying.

Li Qiu was on the verge of tears. His mouth, missing a front tooth, was slightly slurred. He mumbled, "I heard you have some high-grade beast crystals. I wanted to trade with you at first, but I didn't have anything good and was afraid you wouldn't like them, so I didn't dare to tell you... Don't hit me. I was out of my mind. I know I was wrong. I'll never mess with you again."

This is enough. If it happens again, his head will be knocked off.

Shen Miao felt no sympathy whatsoever, only disgust. She pulled a sturdy bundle of straw rope from Li Qiu's body, threw it in his face, and said coldly, "What's this for?"

Li Qiu said tremblingly, "I... I just wanted to tie you up and force you to hand over the beast crystal. I know it was wrong, and I will never do it again."

"Want something for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You want beast crystals but you don't have hands and you can't hunt? You're just going to steal from others. If you have that kind of thought, you should be prepared to be beaten to death."

After Shen Miao finished speaking coldly, she grabbed Li Qiu and gave him a good beating.

After beating the person to the point of near death, Shen Miao felt that was enough, so she stopped, picked up her basket, and went to pick her mushrooms.

As for Li Qiu, let him fend for himself there.

After this upsetting experience, Shen Miao wasn't in the mood to pick mushrooms. She quickly gathered a few and went to the place where the traps were set. The traps didn't yield much either; the four traps only caught three pheasants.

However, the pheasants were all alive, so Shen Miao tied them together and put them in her basket. When she went down the mountain, she already had an idea in mind: she would use these three pheasants to make a fresh meal.

The dish Shen Miao is making is called blood tofu. Blood tofu is very easy to make; you just add salt to chicken blood and heat it up.

She killed all three pheasants, put their blood together, added salt from the supermarket, and then started a fire to heat it up. After making the blood tofu, Shen Miao thought of Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish).

Just thinking about the fiery taste of Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish) makes Shen Miao's mouth water.

So I took out some more ingredients and made a spicy blood curd dish.

Knowing that Shen Miao was going to make something new to eat, the children all forgot about playing and gathered around the stove, looking at Shen Miao expectantly, "Mommy, what delicious food are you going to make?"

Shen Miao laughed and said, "Your noses are quite sensitive, you smelled it so quickly. Hmm, today Mother is going to make Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish)."

"Wow, it sounds delicious!" Sanbao exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Shen Miao laughed to death. The little brat's flattery was so skillful. He hadn't even tasted it yet, and didn't even know what it was, but he was already praising it.

Yes, she likes this kind of flattery; the more the better, it will motivate her even more.

There are many ingredients in Mao Xue Wang, but to avoid trouble, Shen Miao only chose some that could be found in this world, such as cabbage, mushrooms, scallions, and bean sprouts, which she also secretly added.

There was no shortage of meat. Shen Miao chose chicken breast, chicken heart, beef, and mutton. She put the hot pot base into the pot, stir-fried it until it melted, added water, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then added blood tofu and various meats. When the meat was almost cooked, she added vegetables such as cabbage, bean sprouts, and mushrooms in turn.

A pot of fragrant and spicy Maoxuewang (a Sichuan dish) is steaming hot as it comes out of the pot.

Just smelling the aroma made the four little ones impatient. It's not that Shen Miao is bragging, but even she herself is a little overwhelmed by her cooking skills, so it's no wonder that the little ones, who haven't eaten much good food before, are so eager to try it.

When Shen Miao gave the order to start eating, the children quickly began to eat.

It's spicy at first, but the spicier it is, the more addictive it becomes.

The children were sweating profusely from eating, yet they didn't want to put down their chopsticks. Shen Miao knew then that her spicy blood curd was a great success.
