Si Yan was even dirtier. She found some large leaves to cover the cave entrance, then rinsed herself with the water Bei Ji had used. She was so dirty, covered in a thick layer of mud.
After washing off the mud, she put on her animal skin skirt, boiled water several times, filled a bucket, and washed her hair and body again.
The two cubs turned their heads away and refused to look at her.
After washing, Si Yan squeezed a crack in her spatial storage and painstakingly took out the only set of green military uniform she had and put it on.
After Si Yan was dressed, the two cubs turned to look at her.
With the thick mud washed away, Si Yan’s skin was the same milky white as Bei Ji’s, and her features were delicate and petite, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Comparing the two, Xi Qing even thought that Bei Ji’s appearance was actually quite similar to hers.
The two cubs never expected that the wicked female hidden beneath the filth would be so beautiful! If it weren’t for the fact that beastmen were born with the ability to recognize people by scent, and the two cubs could clearly sense that the female in front of them was their mother, they would definitely think that the beast in front of them had been replaced by another beast!
But… where did she get those clothes from? Her clothes were so strange.
Si Yan washed Bei Ji and her own animal skin skirt with the water from her bath and was about to leave the cave to empty the wastewater and hang the skirt to dry when Xi Qing suddenly stopped her: “Don’t go out!”
Si Yan asked in confusion, “Why won’t you let me go out?”
Xi Qing’s eyes darted away.
Bei Ji on the bed shouted, “Mother, something will happen if you go out.”
Si Yan: “…”
Xi Qing said sarcastically, “Bad female, have you forgotten? There are more than two hundred male beastmen in the Yanxiang tribe, but only seventeen female beastmen.”
Si Yan seemed struck by lightning.
She suddenly remembered that when she went to collect meat before, she only saw male beastmen and not female beastmen. She hadn’t thought much about it then, but it turned out there were very few female beastmen at all.
Xi Qing said, “If you go out now, many males will want to mate with you. Female, are you planning to recruit a few males for yourself?”
Bei Ji and Xi Qing only now realized why their legendary, powerful wandering human-beast father wanted Si Yan as his mate. Si Yan was indeed very beautiful after washing up; at least in the Yanxiang tribe, she was the most beautiful.
“How could that be!” Si Yan hurriedly said, “I don’t want a mate! I can support you all by myself!”
Xi Qing gritted his teeth and disdainfully snatched the animal skin skirt from her hands: “I’ll go dry it.”
After saying that, Xi Qing went out with the animal skin skirt.
Si Yan suddenly felt that she shouldn’t take a bath. Rather than be surrounded by male beastmen, it was better to be dirty.
She sighed, took out a small mirror from her space, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her appearance was eight or nine parts similar to her previous life!
It was amazing.
Si Yan thought for a long time, then gave up thinking. She took out foundation and brown eyeliner from her cosmetics and began to apply them to her face.
Bei Ji stared at her intently, watching as the wicked female conjured a black tube from nowhere, then her face turned dark and pockmarked.
How strange, where did all of the wicked female’s things come from?
After using up her eyeliner, Si Yan put it back in her spatial storage and turned to Bei Ji, asking, “Bei Ji, do you think I can go out now?”
Bei Ji looked at her with his big, round eyes, his face slightly flushed, and he nodded.
Si Yan’s cave was in a very remote corner of the tribe; she hadn’t encountered any other beastmen when she went out.
She brought back a stone, used snake scales to carve it into a water vat, and then carved a lid from another stone.
Carving stones was more laborious than carving wood, and that afternoon Si Yan couldn’t do anything else.
Then she went to the river to fetch water, took out a piece of non-woven fabric for bandaging from her spatial storage to filter the sediment in the river water, poured the water into the vat, and sealed it.
As evening fell, the animal skin skirts dried by nightfall. Bei Ji changed back into his skirt and got out of bed. Si Yan, not wanting to appear too strange, also changed back into her large animal skin overcoat.
After a busy day, there was nothing else to eat. Si Yan looked at the sweet potatoes the two snake cubs had brought back and asked, “Can we eat the red ground fruit?”
Xi Qing pursed her lips and remained silent. Bei Ji didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “You wicked female, why didn’t you suspect our red ground fruit was stolen during the day?”
Si Yan said, “Why should I? I believe you.”
Bei Ji said, “We are thieves, bad people, cold-blooded snake-beastmen. That’s what the entire Yan Township tribe says about us.”
Si Yan thought faintly: Perhaps it’s because of these things that they gradually become disillusioned with the world and grow into great villains.
“You are my children. Of course I trust you,” Si Yan said nonchalantly. “Besides, I would never allow my little ones to be bullied.”
Si Yan finished speaking, then angrily added, “And I’ve told you many times, don’t call me a bad female, call me Mother!”
Xi Qing looked at her contemptuously.
Bei Ji hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “Mother…”
Xi Qing looked at Bei Ji in shock, and Bei Ji also felt a little betrayed by Xi Qing. But from yesterday to today, the female before him seemed to have changed, becoming like the gentle female mother he dreamed of.
Even if he might be possessed, he hoped the female could stay like this forever.
Si Yan finally heard Bei Ji call her “Mother,” and she was overjoyed. She picked Bei Ji up and pinched his fair, tender face.
Bei Ji was startled; his cheek was pulled, but it didn’t hurt too much. His cheeks flushed slightly as he said, “Mother, Xi Qing and I dug up the red berries ourselves; they’re edible.”
This was his explanation for her earlier question.
Si Yan smiled, “Then I’ll go wash the red berries and prepare them for you.”
Bei Ji jumped off her and picked up the red berries.
“I’ll go wash them,” Xi Qing said angrily, watching Bei Ji run off.
After Bei Ji washed the red berries, Si Yan roasted some over the fire and boiled some in water to make sweet potato soup— two ways to prepare sweet potatoes.
After they were ready, Si Yan and Bei Ji began to eat. Xi Qing sat far away.
Si Yan said, “Come and eat.”
Xi Qing stubbornly said, “You said I couldn’t eat them.”
Si Yan: “I was lying. Come and eat!”
