Chapter 208: Chapter 210: Eight Choose One

When Hei Feng heard this, his eyes darted away evasively. "Soon, I think!"

"What do you mean, ’soon’?" Su Nuannuan’s brows furrowed.

This Hei Feng was so unmotivated. Just breaking through a single rank of Beastification was taking him forever.

When she first found out he was a Fourth Rank Black Pig, she had actually thought he was quite powerful. That was why she had formed a totem contract with him, despite his race.

But now it seemed that Fourth Rank Beastification was likely the highest Beast Rank he would ever reach.

’No, if this keeps up, my revenge will have to wait until who knows when.’

"It’s just... I’m almost there. It won’t be long now," Hei Feng said, his words a bit evasive.

"Hei Feng, didn’t we have an agreement? You work hard to raise your Beast Rank, and I’ll help you strengthen the tribe."

"But I’m already pretty strong. Why do I have to work so hard to raise my Beast Rank?"

Hei Feng didn’t understand what Su Nuannuan was thinking. His Fourth Rank Beast Rank was already the strongest among all the tribes within a hundred-mile radius. Why did she still want him to break through to a higher rank?

’Cultivating is so hard. Isn’t it nice to just live a quiet life?’

’He’s only Fourth Rank and already so complacent. Fu Feng and the others are Fifth Rank, and they’re still diligently cultivating to raise their Beast Rank.’

’I really don’t see what there is to be so proud of.’

Su Nuannuan felt a wave of contempt, but remembering she still needed him, she forced herself to patiently persuade him again.

"Ah Feng, I believe you can do it. Didn’t you say you wanted a cub? If our little cub knew their Beast Father was a Fifth Rank Beastman, they would be so proud of you."

"Nuannuan, does this mean you’ve finally agreed to have a cub?" Hei Feng asked, a hint of joy in his voice.

Su Nuannuan nodded. "The Witch Doctor said my body has recovered well and I can get pregnant. But... I’d still prefer to wait until you break through to the Fifth Rank. That way, our cub will have a Fifth Rank Beast Father the moment they’re born."

Hearing this, Hei Feng became as energized as if he’d been shot full of adrenaline. "Don’t worry, Nuannuan! I’ll definitely train hard and break through to Fifth Rank Beastification soon, so my cub will have a powerful Beast Father from the day they’re born!"

Su Nuannuan gave him a gentle look. "Mm, I believe you can do it."

’Good. At least this Hei Feng is someone who listens. My little scheme wasn’t for nothing.’

"But for today, let me get in a little early practice!"

With that, the Black Pig’s foul-smelling mouth moved toward Su Nuannuan’s. She tried to endure it, but couldn’t, and pushed him away.

Seeing this, Hei Feng’s face darkened. "Nuannuan, are you rejecting me again?"

Su Nuannuan took a moment to suppress the urge to vomit.

Noticing his dark expression, she quickly changed the subject. "It’s not that. I just remembered—for that Salt Well land, I need to walk the route from memory to recall the exact location. Remember to assign a few people to go with me tomorrow."

Hearing that it was about the Salt Well, Hei Feng’s expression improved considerably. He nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll have Hei Mao and Huang Mao go with you tomorrow."

Su Nuannuan nodded. After taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and kissed Hei Feng on his Adam’s apple.

Seeing Su Nuannuan take the initiative, all the displeasure in Hei Feng’s heart vanished instantly. He lowered his head to kiss her.

When Su Nuannuan saw he was aiming for her lips again, she turned her head away. "Not there. I have to go out tomorrow."

"You’re so fussy..."

Hei Feng grumbled but did as she asked.

...

Since she was going to make pottery, Su Luoluo woke up early.

After washing up, she sat yawning on a chair in the open-air kitchen.

Seeing her yawning nonstop, Mo Xuan said, his heart aching for her, "Luoluo, you’re pregnant. It’s too hard on you to be running around day and night like this. Why don’t you sit this one out? I know how to make pottery, too. I can go teach them."

Before Luoluo was pregnant, her energy levels were much better than they were now. Mo Xuan couldn’t bear to see her like this.

Luan Ting nodded as well. "That’s right. If you’re still worried, you have me."

Su Luoluo shook her head. "No, I promised the tribe members. I have to go this time."

’I just became the leader. No matter what, I need to spend more time with them and build a good relationship.’

’I have a gut feeling this stupid system of mine might glitch out at any moment.’

’If I’m exposed as not being the original owner of this body, and these Beastmen and Su Yang refuse to acknowledge me, I’ll only have these Fox-tailed Fox Monkeys to rely on. Even though my Water Ability has improved, having more people on my side provides more security.’

Xiao Ye’s heart also ached for her, but he knew Su Luoluo had a stubborn streak and would only be happy if they went along with her wishes.

He glanced around and said, "Just let her be. It’s good for her to walk around more now while her belly isn’t too big. Later on, she won’t have many chances to go out."

Hearing this, the other Beastmen stopped trying to persuade her.

Meanwhile, Si Cheng and the members of the tribe were already waiting off to the side.

When he saw Su Luoluo, he nodded at her, signaling that the tribe was ready.

When Bai Meng learned yesterday that Su Luoluo had told him to be ready to leave early this morning to make pottery, he was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night. He’d tried on many sets of Beast Skin Clothes before finally settling on his current Black Tiger Skin Beast Clothing.

The thought of having a private date with Su Luoluo made his face flush with excitement.

After putting on his Beast Skin Clothes and bringing his things to the open-air kitchen, his eyes instantly froze.

This wasn’t a solo pottery session with Su Luoluo at all; before him was a huge crowd of people.

It was one thing for her Beastmen to come along, but there were also dozens of people from the Ring-tailed Lemur Tribe. It looked like he was just tagging along to make pottery with all of them.

Bai Meng’s heart, which had just been pounding with irrepressible joy, instantly turned ice-cold.

’What happened to our private date, Su Luoluo?’

’What is going on?’

Mo Xuan watched as the doltish White Tiger, in his carefully prepared outfit, had his expression visibly shift from joy to despair. He couldn’t help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.

He nudged Fu Feng next to him and chuckled. "See? I told you we’d get a good laugh. Look at him, all dressed up. He thought he was going to get some alone time with Luoluo. He must be dumbfounded!"

Fu Feng was also in a great mood. "You’re right. He was dreaming. As if he could get Luoluo all to himself with us around. Not a chance."

Su Luoluo saw Bai Meng arrive and glanced over the crowd. "Everyone’s here. Let’s head out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Ring-tailed Fox Monkey Beastmen instantly transformed into Fox Monkeys, while the scene before Su Luoluo was even more spectacular.

A purple snake, a white wolf, a black leopard, an ice-blue fish, an emerald Dragon Sparrow, a greyish-black Black Bear, a White Tiger, and a black-and-white Fox-tailed Fox Monkey all appeared before her, prostrated on the ground.

’At first glance, you’d think I’d walked into a zoo.’

Before Su Luoluo could say a word, several of them began to vie for her attention, eagerly offering themselves up.

"Luoluo, pick me!"

"Get lost, you damn leopard! You’re crowding me."

"My wings are still the most comfortable to sit on."

...

This wasn’t the first time Su Luoluo had seen the true forms of her five Beastmen, so she wasn’t surprised when they stepped forward.

It was, however, the first time she had seen Xi Yi’s Black Bear true form. She hadn’t expected him to be so massive. His glossy black fur made him look like a giant stuffed toy from the post-apocalypse.

Bai Meng’s White Tiger form also looked magnificent and imposing, with its white stripes giving it a particularly powerful aura.

Si Cheng’s Ring-tailed Lemur form was also bigger than she had imagined. It wasn’t ugly at all; in fact, it looked quite cute.

It had the face of a fox and the body of a monkey, and its tail really did have one ring after another.

Su Luoluo glanced over them, chose one, and climbed on. She waved her hand and said, "It’s getting late. Let’s go!"
