Ugly, Fat, and Vicious? My Five Beast Husbands Are Obsessed Anyway

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Getting Bold?

Fleeing to higher ground to escape the rising floodwaters was a decent idea, but the spot they had in mind was a slope. If a landslide occurred, the cost would far outweigh the benefit. It was better to find a more suitable location.

When Su Yang heard Su Luoluo question him, his face immediately darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? If we don’t head for high ground when a flood is coming, where else would we go?"

"The most suitable direction is southeast. The terrain is lower there, and it’s not near any water sources, so there won’t be any flooding."

After she spoke, the tribe fell silent for a moment.

Then, a thunderous roar of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha, that’s hilarious! When a flood comes, instead of heading for high ground, she wants to run to low ground."

"That’s hysterical! And here I thought Su Luoluo might actually have a useful suggestion. Turns out she doesn’t even know something a three-year-old would."

"She’s so stupid. It’s bad enough she’s ugly, but it seems her brain is broken, too."

When that comment came from the crowd, her brother, Su Zhao, couldn’t stand to listen any longer.

No matter how ugly or unintelligent Su Luoluo might be, she was still his sister. It wasn’t anyone else’s place to talk about her like that.

Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Luan Ting also frowned slightly when they heard the remark.

’How could Su Luoluo say something so shameless?’

Su Zhao immediately grabbed her hand. "Su Luoluo, be quiet. Don’t interrupt Father while he’s speaking."

Su Luoluo, of course, heard their mockery. But for someone reborn from the post-apocalypse, ’nothing is more precious than life.’

Ignoring everyone’s murmuring, she looked straight at Su Yang. "Father, I’m not just making things up. I’ve awakened a Water Ability. I just sensed the water, and its flow is extremely unstable. There’s going to be a massive rainstorm."

Su Luoluo had originally planned to hide her superpower, but in this situation, she wouldn’t be persuasive if she kept it a secret.

Besides, having lived here for a while now, she had discovered that many Beastmen had their own unique superpowers.

Luan Ting, for example, had a superpower of keen hearing, allowing him to stand in one spot and hear sounds from several meters away.

She didn’t yet know what superpowers Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and Fu Feng possessed, but their Beastification abilities were extremely strong, so their powers couldn’t be far behind.

Females generally didn’t have superpowers, but their spiritual power was formidable, enabling them to soothe rampaging Beastmen and, at the same time, bear children.

Talk was cheap. Su Luoluo ran to the edge of the crowd, walked to the riverbank, and focused her mind. She summoned droplets of water from the river’s surface, then flung them onto the ground.

This extraordinary display stunned everyone present.

That included Su Luoluo’s four Beastman husbands, as well as the leader, Su Yang.

He stood stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. "As expected of my daughter! To possess such a talent."

He had thought his daughter was a lost cause, but who knew that after heaven closed one door for her, it had opened a window.

His hearty laughter echoed across the square.

The crowd’s gazes on Su Luoluo were a mixture of assessment, curiosity, jealousy, and suspicion.

"Good! Since you have a Water Ability, we’ll follow your lead on this matter today."

Su Yang’s attitude shifted in an instant.

His daughter’s ugliness and lack of ambition had always been a source of constant worry for him.

Now that he knew she had a superpower, he was immensely relieved.

’She might be a bit ugly, but at least she has a superpower. In the future, people won’t dare to look down on her so easily.’

’Today is a good opportunity. If her prediction is correct and she saves the entire tribe, no one will look down on her ever again.’

Su Luoluo hadn’t expected Su Yang to accept her suggestion so readily.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, Luan Ting, Fu Feng, and Mo Xuan were all surprised to see that she had a superpower.

After speaking, Su Yang patted Su Luoluo’s shoulder. "I hope what you said is true and that you can help the people of our tribe."

Su Luoluo forced a smile. ’He certainly changed his tune fast.’

"Does anyone have any other objections?" Su Yang scanned the crowd. Seeing no one speak, he raised the scepter in his hand. "Then it’s settled! Everyone, pack your belongings, gather in the square, and follow Su Luoluo."

Su Luoluo hurried back as well, gathering a few pieces of beast skin.

She didn’t have much to pack. Besides clothes, nothing else was important to her.

She kept Su Yang’s order to travel light firmly in mind.

She assumed everyone else was thinking the same thing.

But when she got to the square, she found that the area, which had just been filled with people, was now surrounded by a pack of wolves of all sizes.

They were all either Grey Furs or White Furs, each carrying a female on its back. Some even had stone pots clenched in their jaws.

’Holy cow,’ she thought. ’They’re using wolves like donkeys.’

Before she could finish marveling at the sight, four pairs of eyes fixed on her.

Su Luoluo: "..."

’I haven’t done anything. Why are they all staring at me? Even Luan Ting, the most approachable one, is doing it.’

In the end, it was Su Yang who spoke, clearing up her confusion.

Su Yang, in his Grey Fur form with Lan Ya on his back, called out in a wolf’s naturally resonant voice, "Su Luoluo, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get on one of your Beastman husbands. Can’t you see the whole tribe is waiting for you?"

’Get on a Beastman husband’s back?’

Su Luoluo glanced at the wolf pack and realized that all the females were sitting on the backs of majestic-looking wolves.

Even Su Nuannuan was no exception, riding on her brother Su Zhao’s back.

’No wonder those four were staring at me. They were waiting to see which one of them I would choose to ride.’

Su Luoluo gave the four of them a troubled look. Her eyes hardened with resolve, and she decided to walk toward Luan Ting, who was the most approachable.

But just as she started toward him, Su Yang called out, "Luan Ting, go do a headcount."

Luan Ting nodded. He had sharp eyes, so this task always fell to him.

With Luan Ting gone, the four became three. Or, to be more precise, they became a Black Panther, a Dragon Sparrow, and a purple snake. Three different species, all staring at her with undisguised disgust.

Su Luoluo looked at the unwilling trio. ’Choosing any of them is going to be a disaster.’

’After looking them over, I might as well pick the most suitable ride.’

’Since I’m destined to be met with disgust no matter who I choose, why not pick the one that’s most comfortable for me?’

’Xiao Ye was the first to be eliminated. A snake’s scales are the roughest; if I sit on him and have to squirm along with his movements, my butt will be rubbed raw.’

’Fu Feng’s feathers looked quite comfortable, but his body seemed a bit on the small side. Sitting on him would inevitably feel like a tight squeeze.’

’Mo Xuan’s panther form looked the most reliable. Long body, long legs... my butt definitely won’t suffer if I sit on him.’

With that thought, she quickly climbed onto his back.

Before he could react, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, terrified he would throw her off.

’I know perfectly well that riding one of them is far more comfortable than walking. Even if he despises me, I can’t give this up.’

’If his words are nasty, so be it. I’ll just let them go in one ear and out the other.’

’A moment of tolerance will bring me peace, and the benefits are tangible.’

Su Luoluo was determined to play dumb.

Mo Xuan hadn’t expected Su Luoluo to actually choose him. ’Isn’t she usually the most scared of me?’

’She’s gotten bold lately.’

’And she dares to wrap her fat hands around his neck. So disgusting.’
