Chapter 21: Chapter 21: A Night with Fu Feng
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Mo Xuan and Fu Feng’s Heartbeat Value has increased by 1 point. It is now 1. Please keep up the good work."
Su Luoluo was busy handing out roasted sweet potatoes when the system’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Hearing that Mo Xuan and Fu Feng’s Heartbeat Value had increased, she raised her eyebrows.
’It seems good food really is the way to their hearts.’
’At least it’s not zero anymore, but this system is way too stingy!’
’It was so hard to get them to look past my appearance and raise my score, and they only gave me one point!’
’This has to be the stingiest system I’ve ever seen.’
But she remembered the system clearly saying that there would be a reward after a target’s Heartbeat Value increased. Why hadn’t it mentioned anything?
With this in mind, Su Luoluo asked in her head, "System, the targets’ Heartbeat Values have increased. When do I get my reward?"
"Please wait. I am currently checking for you."
"My apologies, Host. The current targets’ levels are not high enough. All targets must be upgraded to Filter Brain status before the system will issue a reward."
’Filter Brain... That level is going to be tough to reach.’
Su Luoluo complained inwardly, but she didn’t dare say it out loud, nor did she dare to give up easily.
’If I give up, I’m a goner.’
’Whatever. I’ll just focus on surviving for now!’
After they finished eating, a few of the females exchanged glances, looking at the remains of the Beggar’s Chicken Su Luoluo had left on the ground, and licked their lips.
One of the bolder females spoke up and asked:
"Luoluo, your chicken smells delicious. How do you make it? Could you teach us?"
When Su Luoluo had been serving the leader and her Beastmen, the other females had wanted to eat some too, but there wasn’t much meat, so they had been too embarrassed to ask.
If they learned how to make it themselves and cooked it for their own Beastmen, they were sure their mates would like them even more.
However, Su Luoluo had always been difficult to approach, so the group wasn’t very confident when they asked.
To their surprise, Su Luoluo simply gave a faint smile and didn’t say anything harsh.
Instead, she was warm and friendly, saying, "Of course! The fire is still going, so we can make more Beggar’s Chicken."
"Beg... Beggar’s Chicken?" The females were delighted but also a little confused. "We’ve never heard of cooking chicken this way. Luoluo, where did you learn it?"
There was one more thing they didn’t dare to say: even Lan Ya, who prided herself on being omni-capable and the best cook in the tribe, had never made this dish.
The question made Su Luoluo a little nervous. ’I can’t just say a beggar taught me, can I!’
’In this primitive society, as long as a person is hardworking, they generally won’t be reduced to begging.’
She thought for a moment, then used her much-discussed Black Bear foster mother as an excuse. "My previous foster mother taught me."
The wolf pack and the Black Bear clan were two different tribes that lived in separate territories and had no opportunity for daily interaction.
Therefore, when they heard Su Luoluo say her foster mother had taught her, no one doubted it.
After all, besides that female, who else could have taught Su Luoluo such amazing cooking skills?
They were all from the same tribe, so they knew exactly what dishes Lan Ya could make. Moreover, the mother and daughter did not have a good relationship.
Although they never said it aloud, they all knew that Lan Ya rarely paid any attention to Su Luoluo.
Come to think of it, for the Black Bear Foster Mother to have taught Su Luoluo such good cooking skills, she must have really loved her!
After eating some wild fruits and roasted sweet potatoes, the Beastmen had recovered a good deal of their energy.
Hearing that their females wanted to learn how to make Beggar’s Chicken from Su Luoluo, they sprang into action and started catching chickens.
With the Beastmen’s help, they caught dozens of chickens in no time.
Under Su Luoluo’s instruction, all the females except for Lan Ya began to learn, and Su Nuannuan was no exception.
Su Nuannuan was no fool. Since Lan Ya was unwilling to do it, she had to learn.
Otherwise, all the other Beastmen would get to eat Beggar’s Chicken while hers would have none. How shabby would that look?
’Besides, Su Luoluo has this unique skill. By learning it, I’m basically stealing it for myself.’
’In the future, even if she wants to show off, it won’t be anything special since all the females in the tribe will know how to do it.’
’Just goes to show how stupid Su Luoluo is.’
’Having such an exclusive skill, yet she’s teaching it to others.’
’If it were me, I’d definitely keep it a secret.’
’With a skill like this, even more Beastmen would come to like me.’
The tribe was busy all afternoon, with all the females and Beastmen bustling around the Beggar’s Chicken.
They finally finished making the Beggar’s Chicken just before sunset.
The tribespeople ate chicken and sang together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Su Luoluo suddenly felt that life in this primitive society was actually quite good. It wasn’t like the Post-apocalypse, where people were full of schemes, constantly fighting over the smallest of resources.
’People in this primitive society are much purer.’
After dinner, the moon climbed over the hills, and night truly began.
The night was as quiet and deserted as the dinner had been lively.
Well, not completely deserted.
Some females took their Beastmen and, after finding a secluded spot somewhere on the vast mountainside, prepared for a little "nightly exercise."
So for those who had activities planned, the night was lively and... flavorful.
But for Su Luoluo, things were starting to get a little awkward.
At first, she planned to just find a random spot to sleep by herself and make do for the night. After all, during the Post-apocalypse, she had often fought alone.
However, after just a few steps, she saw a snake dart away in front of her.
The sight made her tremble in fear.
There weren’t so many wild animals in the Post-apocalypse, and besides, she had superpowers back then. Dealing with them was easy, so she hadn’t been afraid at all.
But now, she was just a fragile weakling. How could she possibly withstand an attack from the ferocious animals of this primitive world?
Conditions here were crude. If she accidentally got bitten, it would be all over for her.
’I was just reborn from the Post-apocalypse, so I really care about this new body. This is a life, after all!’
’No wonder Su Yang urged me to find a Beastman. It’s really not going to work without a powerful person watching over me to keep me alive.’
Su Luoluo licked her lips and looked toward her Beastmen, who were waiting off to the side.
Without much hesitation, she walked straight toward Luan Ting. After all, he was the kindest to her.
However, before she could even open her mouth, Su Nuannuan called out, "Luan Ting, the leader wants you on night watch duty."
Luan Ting nodded. "I’ll take my men and head over now."
’Luan Ting is on night watch, so spending the night with him is impossible.’
’Xiao Ye is still disgusted with me over that bare-butt incident.’
’Mo Xuan... after that bed-climbing incident, he’s not a good choice, either.’
’Looks like he’s the only one left.’
Su Luoluo turned to Fu Feng with what she considered a brilliant smile. "Fu Feng, I choose you for tonight."
A wave of disgust washed over Fu Feng at her words. He had no idea why Su Luoluo would choose him.
But he couldn’t refuse.
The first rule of joining the tribe was to take good care of the females, and this person was his female master, no less.
While Fu Feng was disgusted that Su Luoluo had chosen to spend the night with him, Su Luoluo herself was also very anxious. She didn’t know how he would treat her.
But this primeval forest was simply too terrifying. Compared to the risk of being treated poorly, Su Luoluo felt that staying alive was more important.
It was an open secret in the wolf pack that Su Luoluo had never consummated her union with her five Beastmen.
Seeing Su Luoluo follow Fu Feng toward the distant woods, many onlookers gossiped curiously, "Is Su Luoluo going to consummate her union with Fu Feng?"
