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

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Eloping with the Beastman

’No, what’s with these three? Why are they suddenly taking this so seriously?’

’Don’t they usually ignore whatever I say?’

What was meant to be a surprise gift now felt like a hot potato in Su Luoluo’s hands.

Her eyes darted around as she tried to figure out how to explain to Luan Ting that it wasn’t what they were implying.

She really hadn’t lied to him; she had indeed made this bowl herself.

While Su Luoluo was thinking about how to explain the bowl in her hands, Luan Ting was sizing her up.

Luan Ting’s gaze on Su Luoluo was intense. He had several questions for her.

For example, why did she suddenly leave without telling him?

’Didn’t she used to tell me everything?’

And how did her relationship with the other three suddenly become so good?

Besides, the other three would never have said things like that before.

Also, what was that thing in her hand?

She seemed to have called it a "bowl"?

He had never seen such a thing.

And then there was the matter of her saying she made this bowl just for him, so why did the other three have one as well?

Could it be that Su Luoluo’s promise to change was a lie?

Had she deceived him yet again?

After a long moment of thought, Su Luoluo licked her lips and finally spoke. "Luan Ting, I’m really not lying to you. I did make this bowl myself, and it’s the only one of its kind in the world."

"Look, I even drew a gray wolf on it to represent you. Their bowls don’t have this design." Su Luoluo had finally found a way to justify her "one of a kind" claim.

Hearing this, Luan Ting glanced at the other three’s bowls. Strangely, when they saw him looking, they all uniformly pulled their bowls closer, as if they were embarrassed, yet they also looked a little guilty.

But even though they were quick, his sharp Wolf Clan eyes inevitably caught a glimpse of the patterns.

They were indeed different from the one in his hand.

The other three wouldn’t have dared to let anyone see the designs on their bowls.

The drawings were terrible likenesses. If the tribe found out the pictures were supposed to be of them, they’d be laughed out of their wits.

’This is what a dignified Fifth Rank Beastman looks like?’

It would completely ruin their imposing image.

The three prideful men instinctively hid their bowls without a second thought.

After scanning the group, Luan Ting retracted his gaze and looked down at the bowl in his hands, saying nothing.

Seeing his silence, Su Luoluo frowned slightly. "You don’t believe me? If you don’t, I can take their bowls and show you."

She had worked so hard to regain Luan Ting’s trust. If he didn’t believe her this time, Su Luoluo felt it would be even harder to win him over again.

That was why his opinion was so important to her.

’After all, my looks are what they are for now. I haven’t fixed that yet, so the only thing I can work on is the trust level.’

With that, she turned to look at the other three, looking like she was about to snatch the bowls right out of their hands.

For the first time, the three of them felt a sense of fear toward Su Luoluo.

’Please, Su Luoluo, don’t come over here.’

’If I’d known I was just shooting myself in the foot, I never would have opened my big mouth.’

Fortunately, Luan Ting looked down at the pattern on the bowl and smiled. "No need. I believe you."

This was the first time Su Luoluo had ever seen Luan Ting smile. His features were already gentle, and his smile was as bright as the spring light at dawn.

Su Luoluo was momentarily lost in a daze.

The good feeling lasted all of three seconds before his next words completely floored her. "Besides, no one but you would draw a wolf this ugly."

Su Luoluo: "..."

’What’s so bad about my drawing?’

A long face like a donkey’s, a body like a skinny dog’s, and a tail that looked more like a stick.

A nearby Beastman, seeing Su Luoluo give Luan Ting a strange new object, had already been observing with curiosity.

He didn’t know what the object was for, but the drawing was crystal clear.

He only took one glance before bursting into laughter. "That drawing is hideous!"

Prompted by the Beastman’s comment, several others nearby also started laughing.

Su Luoluo’s face felt a little hot from the teasing, but she wasn’t blushing beet red.

After all, she had experienced far more embarrassing moments than this.

Once she saw that Luan Ting believed her, she started organizing the other three to unload their things.

The pottery bowls and jars could easily break inside the beast skin, so they needed to be moved to her outdoor kitchen as soon as possible.

The Beastmen had a good laugh about the drawing and quickly moved on.

They were more curious about what Su Luoluo had been doing.

She had been gone all night, after all.

Besides, hadn’t someone just said she’d run off with her three beastman mates?

Moreover, Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Xiao Ye had returned carrying things in their mouths, with bulging bags on their backs.

The females, in particular, noticed that Su Luoluo’s Beast Skin Skirt was different from the others.

She seemed to have tied a knot in it that looked a bit like a flower.

It actually looked quite pretty.

When Su Yang saw Su Luoluo return, much of his anger dissipated.

But his expression remained grim. After all, she was a female, and she had stayed out all night.

Even though she was accompanied by her beastman mates, she hadn’t mentioned to him at all that she would be gone for so long.

In this primitive society, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

If you went out during the day, no one in the tribe would say anything.

But not returning at night meant it was easy for trouble to happen.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Su Luoluo, where did you go yesterday? How could you leave without a word?"

Before Su Luoluo could answer, the surrounding Beastmen crowded around, all talking at once.

"Su Luoluo, what are all those things you brought back? We’ve never seen them before!"

"And that thing you gave Luan Ting, the one called a bowl, what’s it for?"

"Hey, there’s something shaped like a pot here too, isn’t there?"

"Mo Xuan, what’s in your Beast Skin Bags?"

...

The Beastmen seemed to have endless questions. Their overlapping chatter instantly made the area lively.

Hearing this, Mo Xuan looked up at Su Luoluo. "Ask her. She’s the one who got all this stuff."

As he spoke, he unloaded the items from his back.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo looked at Su Yang and said, "Father, I discovered several Salt Wells and brought some salt back."

"What did you say? You discovered a Salt Well?" Su Yang had just been thinking about how to punish Su Luoluo for leaving without permission and staying out all night.

He never expected that in the next moment, she would drop such explosive news. Su Luoluo had actually brought back salt!

You had to understand, salt was no simple matter. It was hard to find, yet indispensable.

Production was low, so if you wanted it, your only option was to hunt and trade with the people from the city-states.

And even if you traded prey, you could only get a tiny amount each time. Because it was scarce, all tribes faced limits when they traded for it.

Having salt meant they no longer needed to hunt from dawn to dusk, not only to fill their own stomachs but also to have enough to hand over to the people of the city-states.

As a leader, upon hearing this news, Su Yang was beyond ecstatic!

His previously gloomy face instantly brightened, replaced by a brilliant smile.

He even looked at Su Luoluo with much more affection. "Luoluo, the salt? Where is it? Let me see!"
