Traveling through the world of beasts: Beast husbands! Stop snatching!

Chapter 6 I don't want him to work too hard

When Yuan Xiao woke up, there was still no one around her. When she thought of what happened last night, her face turned red.

Last night, Zehui hugged her, licked and kissed her, and she was too weak to break free. Although she now likes Zehui's gentleness and thoughtfulness, she is not ready to be his partner. Fortunately, Zehui has a strong willpower and just kissed and hugged her, and didn't go any further.

Seeing a lot of barbecue and fruits on the stone table, Yuan Xiao felt warm in his heart.

She never knew that being loved felt so wonderful.

Yuan Xiao's parents separated when she was very young.

Her father was an alcoholic for many years and would beat his wife whenever he was drunk. Her mother couldn't stand it anymore and ran away. Later, her father got drunk one winter and fell asleep in the snow. When he was found the next day, his body was stiff.

Young Yuan Xiao could only depend on her grandmother. When she was admitted to university, her only relative, her grandmother, passed away. She felt helpless and inferior, with no relatives or friends. After graduation, she lived a life of going back and forth between work and a small house she rented.

Long-term overtime work overdrew her health. After working overtime all night for the Nth time, she fainted...

She had long been accustomed to being alone and had never experienced what it was like to be loved. It was Zehui who made her feel the feeling of being held in the palm of her hand and made her understand that she was also worthy of being loved.

If she really had to choose someone to be her partner, she would definitely choose Zehui.

Thinking of Zehui, she felt a warm sense of security in her heart.

A knock on the door interrupted her fantasy. She went to open the door and found it was Jia Mei.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I just came here by myself! How about we go to the market today?"

Yuan Xiao's curiosity got the better of her. It was indeed boring to stay at home, so she might as well go to the market to have a look.

Jia Mei even brought a cloak for Yuan Xiao to wear. She was so beautiful that if she walked on the street she would probably cause a commotion. There were many young orcs in her tribe who had no partners, and such precious females could not be given to outsiders.

The market was not far from where they lived, which was also for the convenience of the beastmen to trade. There were not many kinds of things in the market, mainly animal skins and some rare animal meats, such as wild boar meat.

Animal skins themselves can be used as currency in transactions. They can be used to make beds, clothes and shoes, and almost every orc needs to use animal skins. Wild boar meat is tender and many females, the elderly and children like to eat it. However, wild boars are huge in size and have strong attack power, making them difficult to hunt, so if you occasionally hunt one, you can sell it for a good price.

"Jia Mei, do you know what Bai Jing looks like?"

"Of course!" Jia Mei took out a leather bag from her body. When she opened it, there were a dozen crystal clear, evenly sized small stones with a texture like white crystal.

"Here, these are white crystals. You can use them to buy things. Silver crystals are rarer than white crystals, and yellow crystals are even rarer. Both are very valuable. I don't have them."

Yuan Xiao understood. She looked around and found that a piece of animal skin would cost 10 white crystals, and a piece of wild boar meat the size of an adult orc's palm would cost 50 white crystals. It seemed that completing the task of accumulating 50 white crystals should not be too difficult.

She blinked her big eyes and smiled at Jia Mei: "Let's come here to sell things too!"

"Are you short of money? Zehui is so powerful that he can catch a lot of prey every day. As a female, you don't have to worry about these. Just stay at home and take good care of it."

"But I also want to contribute. I don't want him to work too hard."

"Tsk tsk, you're such a kind female and you're so nice to him even before you become a couple." Although Jia Mei didn't quite understand why Yuan Xiao insisted on doing all this herself, she was still willing to accompany her.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Xiao took out some wild flowers she had just picked on the road, made a simple wreath and put it on her head. Jia Mei's eyes lit up immediately: "How did you do this? This is so beautiful, make one for me too!"

Soon, another wreath was made, and the two little sisters each wore one on their heads.

"I see there are a lot of beautiful flowers and plants in the forest near you. I can make some wreaths with them and sell one for three white crystals. I think someone will come to buy them, right?" Yuan Xiao looked at Jia Mei with expectant eyes.

"Of course I will. Three white crystals are nothing. You don't know that sometimes male beasts are willing to sacrifice their lives to satisfy the needs of females!"

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but be amazed. It was true that rare things were valuable. The status of males and females in this animal world was too different.

Let’s think about something serious!

Yuan Xiao did what she said, and they rushed back to the nearby forest to pick wild flowers.

The fresh air in the forest was refreshing. The two of them picked flowers and chatted about random things.

"Xiaoxiao, haven't you two been sleeping in the same room for a long time?" Jiamei couldn't help but feel curious.

"We did sleep together, but we just slept in each other's arms..." Yuan Xiao's face flushed slightly, and she stammered because of shyness.

She watched Jiamei standing there frozen, her eyes looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"Still hugging each other? Zehui is really good. He can resist the urge to eat you up. If it were me, I would have eaten you up on the first day!" After saying that, he gave Yuan Xiao a wicked smile.

"Zehui, he won't force me."

"Yes, that's why I say he's a good guy! If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid another female will sleep with him!"

The two were playing and frolicking on the grass, full of laughter and joy, and they didn't notice at all that behind a towering tree in the distance, a pair of red eyes were staring at them intently.

After working for a long time, the flowers and plants were neatly tied into several large bundles. Yuan Xiao roughly estimated that so many flowers and plants would be enough to make 100 wreaths. Jia Mei turned into a yellow and black tiger to carry the flowers and plants on his back.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard sounds like a child crying. The crying was intermittent and he sounded very weak.

Following the sound of crying, they finally found a fiery red little fox behind a big tree. It was so weak that even its fiery red fur had lost its luster.

He barely propped himself up and moved closer to Yuan Xiao bit by bit. As if he had used up all his strength, his thin body fell softly on her calves: "Sister, my parents don't want me anymore. I, I can't even catch a rabbit. I'm so hungry. Please..."

As a result, he fainted before he could even finish his words.
