Xi Qing looked at Si Yan, who had just dealt with Xiong Nai and the four bear cubs, and asked Bei Ji, “Bei Ji, has that wicked female gone mad?”
Bei Ji nodded and said seriously, “I heard there’s a kind of witchcraft that can make someone possessed.”
Xi Qing: “So that wicked female is possessed?”
Bei Ji muttered, “If she wasn’t possessed, why would she say we didn’t steal it, arrest the bad guys, and make those who slandered us apologize? Even… she fought with other females for us.”
Si Yan was still angry about what happened earlier. She angrily said to the two little cubs who were whispering, “Come back with me!”
Xi Qing and Bei Ji exchanged glances.
Going back would just mean another beating, right?
A wicked female is a wicked female; her nature is hard to change!
Xi Qing and Bei Ji returned to the cave. They had rushed out in the morning to avoid a beating, but now they probably couldn’t escape it this time.
The two cubs waited anxiously in the cave for Si Yan to beat them up, but instead, they saw Si Yan bring in a newly woven straw mat, lay it under the animal hide, and test it; it was much softer.
The two cubs huddled in a corner watching her; they weren’t immune to being beaten before, and they waited for her to punish them.
Then they saw Si Yan stir the fire in the house a couple of times, making it burn again, and then put the remaining yellow ground fruits, which were potatoes, into the fire to roast.
Xi Qing whispered to Bei Ji, “When did that wicked female learn to use divine fire?”
Fire was extremely sacred in the eyes of the beastmen. In the Yanxiang tribe, only the village chief had fire-starting skills; most of the beastmen in the Yanxiang tribe ate raw food.
Yesterday, Xi Qing and Bei Ji had stared at the fire with puzzlement, but they hadn’t thought about it deeply. Today, seeing Si Yan stirring the fire so easily, the two cubs were even more puzzled.
Bei Ji shook his head: “I don’t know, maybe she really is possessed.”
Xi Qing frowned: “Possessed by an evil spirit, she can control divine fire?”
Si Yan finished roasting the leftover meat from yesterday and sprinkled it with salt and pepper. Then she called to the two cubs: “Come here, eat together!”
Xi Qing held onto Bei Ji tightly, and Bei Ji didn’t move.
Winning over villainous cubs wasn’t something that could be done overnight. Si Yan wasn’t in a hurry. She ate a roasted potato and some roasted meat, then left alone.
After Si Yan left, Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked at each other.
How strange, the wicked female… didn’t hit them.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji were starving. They quickly went over. The roasted potato and roasted meat were a little hot, but… so delicious!
Si Yan found a large log and dragged it back to the cave.
She wanted to make a container, a container for bathing.
Unlike male beastmen who could transform into beast form, she couldn’t use her claws to dig for a container. Although she had a silver dagger, silver was actually quite soft, and it would probably break quickly if used to plan wood.
How could she make a bucket?
For a moment, Si Yan was troubled.
Her two cubs, who had finished eating, were still watching her from inside the cave.
Xi Qing suddenly asked, “You naughty female, what are you doing?”
Si Yan replied, “I want to make a bucket.”
Bei Ji asked, “What’s a bucket?”
Si Yan gestured, “Like this, a hollow piece of wood that can hold water. But I can’t dig into this piece of wood right now.”
Bei Ji looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Don’t you have a snake scale?”
Si Yan turned her head, “A snake scale?”
Bei Ji nodded, “Probably, possibly, a snake scale left by the father beast.”
Si Yan blinked. She remembered; when she was cleaning the house, she had seen a large, translucent, purple scale. She hadn’t thought of what to use it for, but thought it was quite pretty, so she had left it… yes, left it by the bed.
Si Yan quickly searched around the bed and indeed found the beautiful snake scale.
Looking at the snake scale, larger than her palm, Si Yan suddenly thought, “If the scales of the father beast of my four cubs are this big, how big must his true form be!”
Si Yan turned to the two cubs and asked, “How do we use this snake scale?”
Xi Qing gave her a mocking look, while Bei Ji said, “Female, you can try using it to plan some wood.”
Hearing this, Si Yan used the snake scale to plan some wood, and the hard wood was pierced through as easy as tofu, cutting through it effortlessly.
“!”
This thing is so much more useful than her dagger!
“It’s really useful,” Si Yan couldn’t help but say.
Bei Ji said, “The father beast is very powerful. It’s a pity you don’t want him.”
Si Yan looked at the snake scale.
The father of the villains, a major villain, of course, must be powerful. But it had nothing to do with her; she didn’t plan to actually find a beast mate.
Besides, it’s a snake, which she fears the most.
Use something useful as soon as possible. Thinking this, Si Yan scraped, planed, and trimmed the large piece of wood like cutting tofu, and soon made two wooden buckets.
A smaller bucket was used for carrying water, and a larger bucket for bathing.
After doing this, she carefully put away the precious snake scale, which was even more useful than a blade. She then took the bucket to the stream to fetch water, boiled it in a stone pot, and repeated this process several times until the bathing bucket was more than half full.
The two cubs stared at her, wondering what she was up to.
“Xi Qing, come and take a bath,” Si Yan said.
Xi Qing’s face darkened: “I don’t want to take a bath!”
Si Yan: “If you don’t bathe, you’ll get bugs and it will itch.”
Xi Qing: “I’m used to itching.”
Si Yan’s face also darkened: “If you don’t bathe, you won’t get any food tonight!”
Xi Qing snorted. The wicked female would either hit him or starve him; she always used the same few tricks: “Fine, I won’t eat!”
Si Yan was a little angry. She then looked at Bei Ji: “Bei Ji, come and take a bath!”
Bei Ji hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward.
Xi Qing looked at Bei Ji, feeling betrayed. “Bei Ji!”
The little beastman was only wearing a fur skirt, which was easy to take off.
Si Yan said, “I’ll wash your hair first.”
Si Yan had Bei Ji lower his head and washed his hair. Bei Ji was very obedient and didn’t move.
After washing his hair, Si Yan had Bei Ji enter directly into the tub and gave him a bath.
After washing, the little boy’s fair and tender skin was like milk, and he looked incredibly cute in Si Yan’s eyes.
Xi Qing just stared at Si Yan giving Bei Ji a bath, lost in thought.
Bei Ji was all clean after washing, and he was about to put on his animal skin skirt when Si Yan stopped him.
Xi Qing immediately rushed over angrily, saying, “You bad female, how dare you bully Bei Ji! Are you trying to insult him?!”
There were two snakes. The adult snake-beastman wasn’t afraid and even felt powerful and domineering. But the little snake-beastman was often bullied because of this.
“What are you thinking!” Although she had indeed been shocked by the fact that there had two while bathing her own little cubs, she realized once again that these two cubs who looked like humans were snake-beastman cubs.
“I just wanted to wash your little animal skin skirt.”
After saying that, she put her hands under Bei Ji’s armpits, picked him up, dried him with a small piece of animal skin, and then placed him on the animal skin bed. A soft, fluffy straw mat had already been placed under the animal skin bed. Si Yan brought another large piece of animal skin from the house and covered Bei Ji with it as a blanket.
Xi Qing was suddenly envious when he saw that Bei Ji was actually lying on the bed.
