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

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Seducing Him Again

Su Luoluo had a big appetite. A few fruits were nowhere near enough to fill her stomach.

Although she was well aware that she was overweight, Su Luoluo didn’t want to lose weight by starving herself.

If she starved herself, she’d just get dizzy and light-headed. She wouldn’t lose any weight, and she’d end up wrecking her body instead.

She preferred a more scientific approach to weight loss.

You had to eat, and exercise was also essential.

After running a few laps in the morning, a handful of wild fruits wasn’t enough to replenish her energy.

She finished eating and left the plaza, heading into the woods.

She remembered seeing some eggs by a wild pond yesterday while looking for medicinal herbs.

She planned to go get them and make some fried eggs.

The wild pond wasn’t large. It was surrounded by lush, green reeds, which grew half a person tall and concealed it so well that most people or beasts wouldn’t notice the flock of wild ducks living there unless they looked very closely.

It was morning now. When Su Luoluo arrived, the flock of wild ducks had just swum out of the pond and were heading toward the river to forage.

Su Luoluo seized the opportunity, parting the reeds. In a dry nest built from reeds, she found six green-shelled wild duck eggs.

She picked them up, flipped up her Beast Skin Skirt, and carefully used it to cradle the six wild duck eggs before walking out of the reed bed.

Xiao Ye had never been able to stomach the breakfast prepared by the tribe. A few wild fruits—not only was it a meager amount, but they were also tart and bitter. He always went out to find his own food.

While sleeping in the reeds yesterday, he had seen a wild duck lay a few eggs and had planned to have them for breakfast.

But who would have thought that just when he’d timed the ducks’ departure, a hand would descend from the heavens and snatch all the eggs from the nest.

At first glance, the arm was so dark that he thought it belonged to a bear. He was just wondering if he should fight it to get the eggs back.

It was only when he saw that the dark hand had no black fur on it and was attached to jiggling flesh that he realized it might be a person.

Just as he was trying to get a better look at who it was, the person suddenly bent over and then lifted the Beast Skin Skirt they were wearing.

Xiao Ye thought the person was about to relieve themselves and quickly turned aside, preparing to leave.

To his surprise, in the next moment, she placed the eggs in her skirt, revealing her thick, strong thighs, and then walked out of the reeds step by step.

Those dark thighs, that rolling fat... who else in the entire tribe could it be but Su Luoluo?

’Does she know I’m here? Is she deliberately trying to seduce me again?’

She’d done things like this quite a few times in the past.

Xiao Ye frowned, about to let loose a string of curses, but then he saw his breakfast—those pristine eggs—being carried off by that fatty, Su Luoluo, and his face filled with rage.

’She’s already so fat, what is she still eating for? If she keeps this up, she’ll turn into a pig.’

He shifted back to his original form, about to confront Su Luoluo for the wild duck eggs, but in an instant, she had already run far away.

He followed her without hesitation.

Su Luoluo was afraid the flock of wild ducks would return, find their eggs missing, and come after her.

Cradling the eggs carefully in her skirt, she ran at top speed, completely oblivious to the person chasing her from behind.

She breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the forest.

She began looking for something suitable to fry the eggs she was holding.

First, she needed a vessel for frying. The tribe had stone pots, but Su Luoluo didn’t want to use one.

If Lan Ya and the other tribe members saw her, they would inevitably give her a lecture.

That part was easy enough to replace; she just needed to find something that could withstand fire and heat.

Su Luoluo glanced around and finally found a section of bamboo. She split it open and set it on a simple stove she’d built from stones.

With the "pan" ready, all that was left was oil and salt.

There happened to be some ripe castor beans nearby. She gathered some, put them in the bamboo section, crushed them, and then added some water.

Next, she started a fire by drilling wood, picked up a few pieces of firewood to place underneath, and waited for the water in the bamboo to heat up.

This was a common oil extraction method used by ancient people: rendering by boiling in water. As the water heated and boiled, the oil would naturally separate out.

Once the water evaporated, what remained would be the oil.

The process was a bit slow. After setting up the fire, Su Luoluo left the spot, planning to go get some salt.

She had only taken a few steps when she realized the eggs were still back there. ’Those things are treasures; if I leave them here, someone might steal them. It’s safer to keep them with me.’ Thinking this, she turned and went back.

Xiao Ye had been following Su Luoluo the whole time. Seeing her strangely preparing a whole bunch of things, he didn’t reveal himself, wanting to see what on earth she was up to.

One moment she was splitting bamboo, the next she was gathering stones, and now she was even boiling castor beans in water.

He guessed she was probably planning to cook the eggs, but after doing all that, she didn’t put the eggs in and instead left.

He couldn’t figure out what Su Luoluo was doing, but seeing the wild duck eggs left behind, he raised an eyebrow and prepared to curl his snake tail around them to pull them over.

Who knew that Su Luoluo would suddenly return? Before he could even extend his tail, she had gathered up the duck eggs once again.

Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, his face a storm of fury. This was the second time.

’No matter what, I’m not letting Su Luoluo get away with it this time.’

He got behind her and started chasing again.

As he followed, he suddenly realized she seemed to have entered the tribal settlement.

This wasn’t a suitable place to stay in his original form, so he shifted into his human form and continued following.

’Why is she being so sneaky just to eat some eggs? What is Su Luoluo really up to?’

Xiao Ye followed stealthily while Su Luoluo, clutching the few wild duck eggs, found Luan Ting in a corner.

She had learned from her system’s limited data that Luan Ting would be preparing for his hunt around this time every day, sharpening his weapon.

The area was full of rocks, which were good for sharpening things, so few people usually came here.

After thinking it over, she concluded that only Luan Ting could get her some salt. So, without much hesitation, Su Luoluo headed straight for him.

Of course, she had also brought the duck eggs along to build some goodwill. ’Once I’ve cooked the eggs, I’ll share some with Luan Ting. His impression of me should change then, right?’

Seeing Luan Ting sharpening his weapon with a stone, Su Luoluo walked over with a smile. "Luan Ting, can you give me some salt?"

Luan Ting stopped what he was doing. Seeing Su Luoluo holding up her skirt, he frowned. "What do you need salt for?"

Salt was precious, not something Su Luoluo could just play around with.

Su Luoluo looked down and pointed at the wild duck eggs cradled in her skirt. "I found some duck eggs and want to make fried eggs."

"What are ’fried eggs’?"

He had never heard of this cooking method and looked at Su Luoluo with some confusion.

Su Luoluo took a few steps closer to him and pointed at the eggs in her skirt. "You crack them open, then cook them with oil and salt. It makes a delicious dish called fried eggs."

Hiding nearby, Xiao Ye saw the fawning expression Su Luoluo wore as she spoke to Luan Ting. A trace of disdain flashed in his emerald-green eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking sneer.

’So that’s it. She got a few eggs and is using them to suck up to Luan Ting.’
