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

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: This Isn’t a Good Way to Sleep

Xiao Ye and Mo Xuan exchanged a glance and fell silent.

It seemed there was no other way.

Although they were beastmen and not as delicate as females, they still needed a place to rest.

If there had been boulders, caves, or even some taller trees, they could have just picked any spot to rest. But this place had nothing—just a flat stretch of grass aside from some thickets.

And those thickets were thorny briars.

To be honest, if everything that had happened today weren’t such a coincidence, Mo Xuan and Xiao Ye would have sworn Su Luoluo had planned it all.

After all, it was all just too much of a coincidence.

Everything had lined up perfectly, leaving them with no way out.

The thought of having to sleep on the same patch of ground as Su Luoluo made Xiao Ye’s and Mo Xuan’s expressions complicated.

Heaven knew how sloppy and disgusting she used to be.

And while she had changed a lot, their prior impressions of her were so deeply ingrained that they couldn’t just be shaken off.

When Fu Feng heard the suggestion, he immediately shook his head, refusing to even consider it.

’Are you kidding me? Sleep next to that disgusting creature, Su Luoluo? Who knows what she’d try to pull during the night?’

’After all, she was a known offender when it came to climbing into beds.’

’Just roll over in the middle of the night, and you’d be met with legs as thick as an elephant’s, a body as massive as a bear’s, and a face like a chimpanzee’s with all its features squashed together. It was terrifying from any angle.’

"I refuse! Isn’t there any other way?" he protested, being the first to object.

The rejection was expected, and Su Luoluo’s expression barely flickered.

She simply looked at him and asked calmly, "Then what’s your solution?"

Fu Feng paused. He really couldn’t think of one.

This place really was in the middle of nowhere. Aside from that worthless mud Su Luoluo seemed to treasure, it had nothing.

Dragon Sparrows like him would only roost in tall trees.

The forest was full of tall trees, but unbelievably, there were none here!

He fell silent for a moment and looked at the other two.

’They can’t possibly agree to this, can they?’

He waited, expecting them to offer a better suggestion.

However, even after a long wait, neither of them said a word.

He shot them a look. ’Say something!’

The other two returned his glance, their expressions clearly saying, ’You’re the one who protested, so you figure it out.’

Fu Feng: "..."

Su Luoluo watched the three of them squirm for so long that she started to get sleepy.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She covered a yawn with her hand and said, "I’m going to bed. You three do whatever you want."

With that, she walked over to the grassy area.

Thinking the long journey would be exhausting, Su Luoluo had specifically brought a beast skin blanket to make it easier to sit down and rest.

She hadn’t expected it to come in handy now.

It was perfect for sleeping on.

She took the beast skin blanket out of her Beast Skin Bag and spread it on the ground.

After smoothing out the beast skin blanket, she was about to lie down and sleep.

The three beastmen suddenly drew near.

Su Luoluo thought they had come to their senses and were coming over to sleep, so she quickly asked, "Coming to bed?"

The moment she said it, a fascinating array of expressions crossed the three men’s faces.

Xiao Ye looked conflicted and hesitant.

Mo Xuan was frowning with forced patience.

And Fu Feng looked both disgusted and embarrassed.

They had come over, but they hesitated to make a move.

Su Luoluo waited a moment, puzzled by their silence. But she didn’t dwell on it and simply lay down by herself.

’If I keep wasting time on them like this,’ she thought, ’I’ll never get any sleep.’

Su Luoluo kind of understood their behavior. It was nothing more than reluctance mixed with a lack of options.

In any case, it wasn’t her problem if they had nowhere to sleep, so Su Luoluo chose to ignore them.

She had been working hard all day and was already dead tired; she didn’t have the energy to worry about them.

Su Luoluo closed her eyes and began to drift off.

After Su Luoluo seemed to have fallen asleep, the three men eyed one another, each waiting for someone else to make the first move.

Su Luoluo was sleeping on one edge. As long as one of them acted as a buffer in the middle, the other two spots would be safe.

But apparently, all three of them were thinking the same thing, because no one was willing to take that step.

For a moment, the three of them were locked in a stalemate.

Su Luoluo closed her eyes, trying to sleep, but shadows kept flitting across her eyelids, making it impossible to drift off.

She opened her eyes and shot the three of them a look.

Seeing them sizing each other up, she shook her head. "Well? Are you going to sleep or not? Is it fun just standing there?"

The three men remained motionless.

Su Luoluo followed their gazes to the empty space beside her.

She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.

’So that’s what this is about,’ she thought. She had assumed they were just conflicted, but it turned out they just didn’t want to get too close. She consciously scooted over even further, then lifted her chin at the three men. "Bring the salt over."

The three looked at her, confused.

Su Luoluo explained coolly, "You don’t want to sleep next to me, right? Use the salt bags as a barrier. That should put you at ease."

Hearing this, the three of them immediately brought over the salt, each in their respective beast skin-wrapped bundles.

Su Luoluo placed the three salt bundles to her right, creating a clear dividing line. Then she yawned. "There. Go to sleep. Don’t worry, I won’t cross this line."

After saying that, she found the whole situation rather amusing.

For one thing, their defensiveness against her was just too much.

For another, it felt strangely familiar, a bit like the "thirty-eighth parallel" kids draw on their desks at school.

But she only smirked for a moment before closing her eyes to sleep.

With the salt bundles serving as a barrier, the three men’s expressions visibly improved.

They even placed some thorny branches a short distance away from the salt bundles before finally lying down to sleep.

Of course, they didn’t just lie down flat.

The three of them gathered together, huddling in a circle.

A snake was coiled in one corner.

A leopard slept in the middle.

And the Dragon Sparrow slept in the lower right.

The night was quiet, and with the CRACKLE of the fire, Su Luoluo quickly drifted off to dreamland.

But occasionally, a certain "nightly concerto" could be heard.

But Su Luoluo was long used to it. In fact, after a while, she could even use it as a lullaby.

In this primitive society, there was no escaping the sounds of people getting it on every night.

The three beastmen had initially been wary of Su Luoluo and had planned to take turns standing guard.

Who would have thought she would sleep so soundly, lying there without moving a muscle.

They could even hear her snoring faintly from time to time.

Seeing this, they couldn’t be bothered to keep watch anymore.

They relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

All four of them slept well through the night.

With the pottery on her mind, the first thing Su Luoluo did after waking up the next day was stretch and walk over to the fire pit.

After burning all night, the fire had died down. The embers were no longer as hot, and the kiln was gradually cooling to match the temperature of the surrounding earth.

Su Luoluo casually picked up a thick branch and raked away some of the charcoal on top, soon revealing the clay pieces she had made the day before.
