The children's change of address kept Shen Miao excited all night.
She spent the whole night sketching out a blueprint in her dream, only to be brought back to reality the next day. There was no firewood in the house. Looking at the empty kitchen, Shen Miao smiled bitterly. She decided to put the blueprint aside and take things one step at a time. You can't get fat in one bite.
After serving the children breakfast, Shen Miao carried a basket on her back and went out. She had woven the basket in her spare time because she had seen many things on her last trip up the mountain but could only look on with envy because she didn't have the tools to carry them and her hands couldn't hold them all. So she wove a basket when she got back.
It was still early, the sun hadn't risen yet, and Shen Miao wasn't walking fast when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
Shen Miao guessed it might be some kind of orc, so she moved aside. But when the other person passed by her, he stopped.
"Shen Miao?"
What's with that surprised sound?
"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."
Shen Miao was also somewhat surprised; this was the first time since she came to this world that someone had taken the initiative to greet her.
She looked up, and her expression immediately became indescribable.
Because the other person was also a very fat man, about the same size as her, but not as fat. He had small eyes that darted around on her.
Shen Miao felt as if she had been stuck to something sticky, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Don't block my way, I'm in a hurry." After saying this, Shen Miao walked past the orc and continued on her way.
The basket was pulled from behind by someone.
Shen Miao was getting angry when she suddenly heard the other person exclaim, "What is this? Where did you get it?"
It refers to the basket on Shen Miao's back.
Shen Miao rolled her eyes: "It's a secret, I can't tell you."
"Shen Miao, don't be so heartless. We're all of the same kind. It's no fun if you're so cold-hearted." Han Xiao, also a bear-beastman, gave up studying the basket and said with a mournful expression.
The sight of a burly, dark-skinned, and obese orc making such an expression almost made Shen Miao vomit.
Shen Miao thought to herself, "It's better to be rid of such clansmen."
"If you're not having fun, then get lost," Shen Miao said disdainfully.
Han Xiao was a little unhappy, but for some reason, he held back. His eyes darted around, and he persisted: "Chen Miao, are you going hunting in the mountains? Well, your beastmen are all crippled, and all the food and clothing have fallen on your shoulders. You've really had a hard time. As a female beastman, you've endured so much for so long. You've already done more than enough for Qing Chen. Why don't you go find your own happiness?"
Hearing this, Shen Miao vaguely understood why the orc was so persistent in pursuing her.
Since this person has set his sights on her, she shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
Shen Miao's gaze flickered across Han Xiao's face for a moment, then quickly looked away. Where did this pig get the courage?
Oh, I forgot that she herself is now a pig, and a very well-fed one at that.
Shen Miao became depressed in an instant.
"Shen Miao? I'm talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?" Han Xiao said unhappily.
Shen Miao raised her eyes, a half-smile on her face, and said, "I'm just thinking about where my happiness really is."
Han Xiao glanced at Shen Miao with disdain. As expected, she was no good. She had been thinking about cheating on him for a long time. So ugly, yet she was happy? She must be dreaming.
But the thought of the beast crystal in her hand roused Han Xiao, and he forced a smile, saying, "It's far away, yet right before my eyes."
"Oh," Shen Miao said, feigning shyness, "Han Xiao, you're not talking about yourself, are you?"
There's a grove of trees ahead, and there's a beehive there.
Han Xiao puffed out her chest and said proudly, "That's right, it's me, Miaomiao. We're on the same path. Be with me, and I'll definitely make you happy. I'll do what Hu Qingchen couldn't do, and I won't let you suffer like this. A female beast, running up the mountain every day, you don't know how many people outside are talking about you."
"Really? I have a favor to ask, can you help me?" Shen Miao asked without any hesitation.
Han Xiao: "..."
What a despicable female beast! Who gave you the audacity to ask others to help you? Don't you even know your own worth?
Han Xiao cursed inwardly, but for the sake of the beast crystal in her hand, he had to hold his nose and say, "Of course, what kind of help?"
Shen Miao pointed to a patch of thorns, "I really like eating those little red berries, can you pick some for me?"
"But it's all thorns there..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Miao's face darkened: "You just said you would do anything for me, but it turns out you were just lying to me. You're even worse than Hu Qingchen. At least he hunted for several years and raised me for a few years."
Han Xiao was furious; the fat on his face twitched.
Shen Miao turned away, not wanting to pay him any more attention. Han Xiao shouted, "Fine, let's go. Today I'll show you just how true my heart is for you."
After saying that, the bear-beast charged aggressively into the thicket of thorns.
When Shen Miao was surrounded by thorns, she picked up a pebble and threw it at the beehive above.
With a buzz, a dark mass of bees flew out of the hive.
"What's that sound?" Han Xiao looked around in alarm, and soon he saw a swarm of wasps surrounding him.
Han Xiao was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.
But he was completely stuck in the thicket of thorns and couldn't get away at all.
In an instant, he was stung several times, and he screamed in pain.
Shen Miao shouted, "Han Xiao, there are so many bees! I'm so scared, I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, he made a hasty escape.
Avoiding Han Xiao's gaze, Shen Miao immediately slowed her pace, leisurely walking and observing her surroundings. In her mind, she was thinking that the appearance of this bear-beastman was very strange. They had no interaction before, but Han Xiao suddenly approached her and even flirted with her, trying to seduce her.
Pshaw.
If this orc is so thirsty, perhaps she could send him to find Green Pearl. Shen Miao stroked her chin and smiled sinisterly.
This little incident didn't stop Shen Miao from gathering firewood. She also found many wild fruits on the mountain, picked them all, and prepared to make jujube cakes for her children.
However, there wasn't enough time to cook at noon. Shen Miao got home around lunchtime, so she could only make a simple meal to tide her over. But no matter how simple it was, the kids still thought it was delicious and praised Shen Miao's cooking skills.
Shen Miao beamed and diligently piled meat into the bowls of the children, leaving Da Bao speechless.
The little boy was enjoying his meal so much that he made a silly remark, saying innocently that Shen Miao had become beautiful.
Shen Miao was overjoyed and touched her face: "Really? Mother has really become more beautiful? I didn't feel it."
Erbao and Sanbao nodded affirmatively.
Shen Miao laughed so hard her eyes disappeared, and her body jiggled. She had been going up the mountain frequently lately, and she had lost some weight, but she was still far from looking good.
Da Bao couldn't bear to look and turned his gaze away, only to meet Qing Chen's eyes.
Both father and son were speechless.
That female beast is incredibly stupid!
