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

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Oh No, My Period Came

She didn’t want to spend so much time on this.

She’d brought the salt back to make her cured meat.

The refined salt filled about half a jar, just enough to rub on all the remaining wild boar meat.

Su Luoluo returned to her kitchen, dug away the earth, and took out the meat she had buried.

She checked its color and gave it a sniff. Only after confirming there was no strange smell did she feel relieved.

The temperature in this primitive society was relatively stable, and the air wasn’t too humid, which was why the meat could be preserved for so long.

There was quite a lot of pork, so Su Luoluo decided to make two types of cured meat.

One smoked, and one air-dried.

After washing and drying the wild boar meat, she picked a few large banana leaves, spread them on the ground, and placed the meat on top.

She grabbed a handful of salt from the jar and rubbed it evenly onto the pork.

Just as she was getting into it, a sharp voice suddenly cut in. "You’re actually putting that much salt on the pork? Don’t you know how wasteful that is?"

Hearing this, Su Luoluo lifted her gaze for a glance. Seeing who it was, she rolled her eyes. "I made this salt myself. I’ll use it however I want."

She had gone to all this trouble to find salt specifically to cure meat. What else would she have gotten it for?

Lan Ya saw Su Luoluo sprinkle so much salt on a single piece of meat and couldn’t hold back any longer. "Salt is so precious! How can you waste it like this?"

"Didn’t they find the Salt Well? There will be plenty of salt to use soon," Su Luoluo replied lazily, not wanting to engage with Lan Ya.

Lan Ya’s scolding words were instantly caught in her throat, leaving her speechless.

’This Su Luoluo thinks she’s so great just because she discovered the Salt Well.’

But she really couldn’t refute that point.

Her eyes swept across the kitchen. It was filled with cabinets and tables, all exquisitely made. On them were various shapes of those things Su Luoluo called "pottery." The stove on the ground was also built from clay, making the whole place look clean and bright.

’It’s a hundred, a thousand times better than the kitchens in the tribe. How could she not give a few of these useful things to the tribe?’

’So unfilial.’

Lan Ya glanced around and hinted, "This pottery is nice. It looks like it would be great for holding things."

After finishing rubbing salt on the pork, Su Luoluo was using a bamboo skewer to poke holes in the meat. Hearing the comment, she pretended not to and continued with her work.

’Trying to get my pottery for free?’

’No way!’

’I worked so hard to make those. Why should I just give them to you?’

Lan Ya waited for a while, but heard no response from Su Luoluo.

The corner of her mouth twitched. How could she have forgotten? The person in front of her was an ungrateful wretch.

’Expecting her to give anything away is impossible.’

But Lan Ya couldn’t bring herself to ask for it directly. She prided herself on being an elegant and proper person. Making such a blatant request would make her seem classless.

Besides, judging by the way Su Luoluo was pretending not to hear, she would probably say something nasty even if Lan Ya did ask.

’There’s no rush for these things. I’ll make her hand them over willingly.’

After poking holes in the meat, Su Luoluo used vines to tie each piece up.

Once they were all done, they could be hung up.

But the woman was still standing there, and Su Luoluo didn’t want her staring at her meat. So she asked, "Is there something else?"

Hearing the dismissive tone, Lan Ya seethed with anger. If Nuannuan hadn’t asked her to come and check, saying that Su Luoluo was likely to lead the Beastmen astray, she wouldn’t have bothered coming here at all.

"You shouldn’t stay out all night anymore. It’s very dangerous for a female to be out at night."

Su Luoluo paused. ’When did Lan Ya become so concerned about me? Didn’t she always look down on me?’

"I wasn’t alone. I went out with my Beastman," Su Luoluo said faintly.

"Even if you go out with a Beastman, you should be... careful."

The words felt unnatural coming from Lan Ya. Those Beastmen of hers were indeed formidable, having already reached the Fifth Rank at such a young age.

’If she hadn’t interfered, they would all be Nuannuan’s Beastmen by now.’

’How does an ugly thing like Su Luoluo deserve such handsome and outstanding Beastmen?’

Thinking of this, Lan Ya’s eyes scanned Su Luoluo again, and she suddenly noticed that her daughter seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The rolls of fat on her stomach seemed to have lessened, but even so, she still couldn’t compare to a single one of Nuannuan’s fingers.

Su Luoluo had been listening for a while but still had no idea what Lan Ya was trying to do.

’But whatever she’s up to, it can’t be good.’

Su Luoluo glanced at her and said, "Is there anything else, Mother? I have to go take a shit."

Lan Ya was disgusted by her words.

’How can a female be so vulgar?’ She turned to leave, her gaze sweeping over Su Luoluo’s Beast Skin Skirt. She couldn’t resist lecturing her one more time, "Look at what you’re wearing! You’ve twisted a perfectly good skirt into a knot. So uncivilized!"

Lan Ya left with a look of disdain, but Su Luoluo was smiling happily.

Of course, she didn’t actually need to go; she had only said it to gross Lan Ya out.

’What’s wrong with my skirt?’

’My butt isn’t showing, and neither are my thighs.’

But Lan Ya did give her an idea. Now that she had slimmed down, she did need some better-fitting skirts. She couldn’t keep dressing like this forever.

Putting that aside for now, Su Luoluo took a few pieces of meat from the banana leaves and hung them on a tree trunk in a well-ventilated spot. These would be for air-dried cured meat.

For the remaining pieces, she found some pine and tea tree branches, lit them, and placed the meat over them to smoke slowly. This kind of smoked meat needed to be done gradually so that the woody aroma could infuse into the flesh.

After burning them for a while, she built a circle of stones around the embers and extinguished the flames, leaving only smoke. Once she was sure there was no risk of fire, she left the kitchen.

The fire had left her smelling of smoke, and she wanted to take a good bath.

She still hadn’t checked the new superpower she’d gotten today. Su Luoluo planned to do it while she was bathing.

The deep pool nearby had too many people, which was inconvenient, so she used her superpower to search the area.

Her Level 3 Water Ability was strong enough for her to scan all the nearby bodies of water.

Soon, she discovered a hot spring to the east.

Taking a hot bath in the Beast World was a luxury. Su Luoluo had always washed with cold water, so she never expected to chance upon this today.

She headed over happily.

After taking off her leafy bra, Beast Skin Skirt, and sexy leopard-print panties, Su Luoluo plunged into the steaming hot spring water.

After tidying herself up, she spread the ground Black Phoenix Fruit Leaves on her face, activated the cleansing function of her Water Element power, and gave herself a wonderful whitening spa treatment.

’Once these Black Phoenix Fruit Leaves are absorbed, my skin will be so much fairer.’

As Su Luoluo thought happily, she opened the system’s guide to see what new features the other upgraded systems had.

While she was absorbed in this, a "SPLASH" suddenly came from the water.

Startled, Su Luoluo immediately closed the system interface before she even had a chance to see what had happened.

An silver-blue fishtail broke the surface, followed by Nantu’s cool, aloof face appearing before her.

’Seriously? How does he always end up in the same bathing spot as me?’

’And a hot spring, no less.’

’A mermaid soaking in a hot spring... isn’t he afraid of turning into boiled fish?’

’I definitely didn’t look at him this time. Besides, I was here first.’

She squinted and pointed to her clothes on the bank. "This one’s not on me. I was here first."

Nantu had no idea why Su Luoluo was here, in a place he had just discovered.

His expression darkened. He was about to swim to the bank when he suddenly felt something sticky on his fishtail.

He looked closely and saw a trace of blood on it, carrying a faint, metallic scent.

The culprit was none other than Su Luoluo, right in front of him.

Su Luoluo’s face flushed red. How was she supposed to know her period would suddenly start?

And to have it happen now...
