CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 92 TEACHING THE SILVER WOLF BEASTMAN TO HOARD GOODS_1

Yin Xiu had Yin Hong release She Ying and, at the same time, instructed Yin Hong to lead his men and follow Si Yan.

Watching Si Yan count her men, Yin Xiu seriously asked her beloved son Yin Hong, "Hong’er, what do you think of Si Yan? Do you like her?"

Yin Hong was stunned. "Mother... why do you ask this?"

Yin Xiu looked at him intently.

Yin Hong, feeling guilty, lowered his head, a slight blush on his cheeks. "Mother... a female who would choose a cold-blooded snake beastman and have cubs with him without minding... a female who can speak with you shoulder to shoulder... I am, actually, a bit curious."

Yin Xiu shifted slightly; her son had never spoken such words in all these years. "Then you should stick close to her. If she accepts you, I agree to you becoming her male."

In Beast World, emotions are mostly pure and straightforward, especially within the Silver Wolf Tribe. Naive and direct, simple and loyal.

Yin Hong’s face turned even redder in an instant, and he was flustered. "I, I..."

"You don’t want to?"

Yin Hong’s face reddened even more.

Seeing this, Yin Xiu chuckled. "In the Silver Wolf Tribe, besides Young Master Tai Seng with his activated Special Ability, there’s no one more outstanding than you. If you want her, she will surely accept you."

The straightforward Yin Hong didn’t know how to express himself.

Yin Xiu said, "Go on, stay with her. And don’t let her get away."

Yin Hong, face still red, respectfully said, "Mother, I understand."

And so, Yin Hong led a team of men, following behind Si Yan.

Dongchi suddenly felt the male behind them harbored some intentions. Transforming into a snake, he coiled around Si Yan’s slender waist and whispered to her, "Mother, that foolish wolf has been watching you. He’s stolen glances at you twenty times from just a while ago until now."

Si Yan: "..."

Dongchi lifted his snake-like pupils to observe for a while, then shook his head. "He doesn’t have as much potential as Uncle Tai Seng. Compared to him, I like Uncle Tai Seng more."

Si Yan couldn’t help but knock him on the head.

Suddenly, Yin Hong stepped forward with a naive smile. "Si Yan."

Perhaps after being prompted by Yin Xiu, Yin Hong had different thoughts in mind, so looking at Si Yan again, he couldn’t remain as composed as before.

"What shall we do next?" asked Yin Hong.

They had already ascended the mountain, arriving at a dense region. Si Yan sensed briefly and then said, "There are many Red Earth Fruits here; we should dig them up first."

The Silver Wolf Tribe possessed greater discipline than the Yanxiang Tribe. As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, one Green Crystal male’s claws flashed, and he quickly dug out the Red Earth Fruits.

Si Yan walked a few steps and pointed to another spot. "There are Yellow Earth Fruits here."

Another Silver Wolf beastman quickly dug out the Yellow Earth Fruits.

Soon, the males around started to notice something unusual. Wherever Si Yan pointed, they would definitely find fruits. This... was really a bit miraculous.

Si Yan was somewhat excited about this trip to the mountain.

"Mother," Dongchi’s crisp voice sounded in her ear.

Si Yan whispered, "This is the Paralysis Fruit; help Mother pick some secretly. And look... there are chilies! There are actually chilies!"

The few chilies that hung, dry and shriveled, on the small bushes still excited Si Yan immensely. Chilies! There aren’t many, but getting them means I can get chili seeds. Later, I can find a place to plant them.

"Okay."

Dongchi flicked his tail, harvesting the Paralysis Fruits and chilies. He stealthily passed them to Si Yan, who, avoiding the Silver Wolves, stowed the fruits in her space.

Seeing the Sichuan pepper tree hidden in the bushes, Si Yan was thrilled. "There are even Sichuan peppers! Green Sichuan peppers! I’m going to be rich! I’m going to be rich!"

This time, Dongchi didn’t need further instruction. He whipped his tail and snagged a bunch of Sichuan peppers for Si Yan.

Si Yan surreptitiously gathered quite a few things and put them into her space.

As the sun climbed higher, it wasn’t long before Yin Hong arranged for everyone to rest.

By the riverside, Si Yan filtered the river water and took a few gulps. GLUG. GLUG.

"You need to store more water," Si Yan said to Yin Hong. "If the water resources dry up, all the food in the world will be useless."

Yin Hong looked at the river water, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Si Yan turned around, her eyes crinkling as she smiled. "Let me teach you a method of storing water. In exchange, how about providing me with a private dwelling?"

Being gazed at by those beautiful eyes, Yin Hong’s face flushed, and he stammered, "O-o-of... Of course... c-can... can do."

Why is my heartbeat so fast?

Speechless, Yin Hong quickly lowered his head, his ears reddening.

"The most important thing about storing water," Si Yan began, finding a large rock, "is to ensure it’s sealed. Can you carve a hole in this rock? Don’t make the opening too big."

"No problem."

To quickly forget the erratic beating of his heart, Yin Hong stepped up himself. He flashed his silver claws and swiftly dug a huge hole in the rock.

Si Yan looked at it and expressed her satisfaction.

"While the river still has water, let’s fill this stone jar."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hong, strong as an ox, lifted the rock and walked toward the stream. His muscles glinted in the sunlight, exceptionally appealing.

Showing off his strength, he placed the rock down, filled it with water, and then powerfully set the stone water container on the ground.

Yin Hong wiped off his sweat and smiled at Si Yan.

He understood that he had been subconsciously displaying his strength to her. In Beast World, this behavior signified a male trying to attract a female. His face flushed at the thought. I’m just following Mother’s advice.

Si Yan was oblivious to Yin Hong’s thoughts. She ran up, found a rock of a suitable size nearby, and then asked Yin Hong for a piece of beast skin.

She took the beast skin, wrapped it around the smaller stone, and used this to cover the stone water container. After checking it several times, she found the seal was quite good.

"Now we have stored a container of water," Si Yan said. "Keep it in a cave so it won’t evaporate easily."

"Okay," Yin Hong shouted and called over the males of his group. "Let’s store more while the river still has water!"

"Yes, Young Master Yin Hong!"

Yin Hong used several of the tribe’s caves to store the water.

When Yin Xiu saw what they were doing, her heart skipped a beat. Perhaps this method really is useful.

"Mother," Yin Hong bowed to Yin Xiu as she passed by.

Yin Xiu nodded slightly. "You’re doing well. Store more water."

"Yes, Mother."

With Yin Xiu’s approval, more males were sent to follow Si Yan’s instructions.

"How are you going to store all this food you brought out?" Yin Xiu stood on higher ground with Si Yan, looking down at the Red Earth Fruits and Yellow Earth Fruits.

Si Yan held a washed Red Earth Fruit in her hand and smiled faintly. "I’ll make them into dried fruits."

"Dried fruits?"

"Mm-hmm," Si Yan affirmed. "Once they’re made into dried fruits, as long as they’re kept dry, they won’t spoil easily. When it’s time to eat, you can soak them in water first or eat them directly."

Yin Xiu smiled with interest. "That’s quite intriguing."
