CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 126: GATHERING IN THE WILD, FULL HARVEST_1

"Si Yan! You’re a liar! How could you possibly be the Lord’s Mistress? Impossible, impossible! What tricks did you use to bewitch the Lord, huh? Tell me, tell me!!"

Lang Xin immediately said to Wang Dao, "Lord, don’t be fooled by her! Si Yan is a bad female; she already has a Beast Husband. And he’s a..."

Suddenly, Si Yan took out a piece of purple snake scale and waved it in front of Lang Xin.

With a smug smile, she said, "You said I already have a Beast Husband, and he’s a snake Beastman, right?"

Si Yan, smiling smugly, gestured on Wang Dao’s body. "Look, doesn’t it resemble this? Doesn’t it look just like the Lord’s scales?"

The usually hot-tempered snake Beastman was in an unusually good mood today, letting her gesture all over his body.

This sight made Hu Hui, who was standing nearby, both eager for gossip and terrified.

Si Yan’s eyes shifted to Lang Xin. "You see? Purple, identical scales."

Lang Xin’s expression cracked, piece by piece.

"You... you... it’s not possible... If your Beast Husband is the Lord... why didn’t you say so from the start..."

Si Yan had arrived alone at the Yanxiang Tribe and was taken in, later giving birth to a snake Beastman cub. Though the Yanxiang Tribe had always provided food, it was never enough. Life for Si Yan and her family was actually quite miserable. If her Beast Husband really was the Lord of the Delusional Domain, why hadn’t this male come looking for her sooner? It didn’t make sense; it was illogical!

"I’m willing, and my Beast Husband is willing too!" Si Yan declared, wearing a brazenly arrogant expression.

Lang You couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he saw it.

Enraged, Lang Xin couldn’t even tolerate it from her own people and lashed out indiscriminately. "Lang You, what are you laughing at?!"

The smile of Lang You, the Red Crystal Beastman, faded slightly. "I’m not laughing at anything."

Lang You had long since let go of Lang Xin and stood aside, watching Si Yan’s family with excited eyes.

Lang Xin’s complexion grew even uglier. This male, Lang You, she had obtained through manipulation. After getting him, no matter how she doted on him, Lang You refused to climb into her bed. But now, he was always smiling at Si Yan. What was there to laugh about? Tai Seng liked Si Yan; the Lord of the Delusional Domain liked Si Yan. Could it be that even he liked Si Yan? Lang Xin’s face grew more and more terrible. Tai Seng had become Si Yan’s Guardian Beast. This Purple Crystal Beastman in front of her had been bonded by a female through a contract. She could no longer have him even if she wanted to.

Lang Xin felt like she was about to cough up blood from anger. She didn’t want to continue being infuriated here. Clenching her teeth, she turned and snapped, "Lang You, we’re going back!"

Lang You gently raised an eyebrow. He naturally wouldn’t openly defy his Mistress, so he followed Lang Xin and turned to leave.

After sending Lang Xin away in a huff, Si Yan happily rolled back onto her bed.

Nan Mo leaped up to hug Si Yan.

Sitting up, Si Yan held Nan Mo close, her body trembling with laughter. How interesting, far too interesting. Indeed, it was more fun to infuriate her enemy than to kill her.

In Si Yan’s space, the gecko slapped the ground, frustrated by her lack of seriousness. "Kid, can you try to maintain a more respectable image? You’re going to lead your villainous Beast Husband and your villainous cub further down the wrong path."

"It’s too late for that, much too late!" Si Yan laughed, pounding the bed.

Gecko: "..."

Nan Mo, watching Si Yan laugh, joined in merrily.

Si Yan also realized that after overcoming his insecurities, the typically introverted Nan Mo had become so clingy. She absolutely adored this clingy Nan Mo.

She scooped him up, skillfully stroked his head, ruffled his hair, and took a playful sniff.

Finally, she held his face and planted a big kiss on him.

"Dark Sun Lake seems to have a lot of food ingredients. Let’s go gather some, and Mother will make something delicious for you all," she said. She couldn’t stay in the cave all the time. She needed to go out to look for food and then run back and forth with loads to train her physique.

「...」

Wang Dao was sleeping in the cave.

Si Yan didn’t disturb him. Dark Sun Lake was completely open to their family, so she strolled around the lake with her two cubs.

Dark Sun Lake was truly different from the outside. Even though it was blazing hot outside, the resources around the lake remained abundant.

Hu Hui followed them.

Si Yan was carrying two large rocks for weight training.

Hu Hui was extremely anxious and wanted to help her carry the rocks. "Mistress, why do you need these rocks? They’re everywhere," he said.

Si Yan didn’t let Hu Hui take them. "I need to train," she stated.

When Dongchi and Nan Mo saw their mother training so hard, they were motivated to work even harder themselves.

The two cubs followed her example, each carrying two large rocks on their backs, as well as a piece of animal hide to hold what Si Yan wanted.

Hu Hui was left completely bewildered by the sight of this family’s activities.

Si Yan searched for edible food, bursting with excitement.

"Oh my god, are these tomatoes?!" She ran over, the two large rocks on her back banging together, took a bite, and yes, it was the taste of tomatoes.

Si Yan’s eyes lit up! Tomatoes are especially useful, not to mention common dishes like tomato and egg soup or scrambled eggs with tomato. Tomatoes can be made into ketchup, and with ketchup as a seasoning, there are even more, tastier dishes! Plus, tomatoes are packed with lycopene and are incredibly nutritious!

Si Yan quickly said, "Dongchi, Nan Mo, help Mother pick more tomatoes. Then we’ll dig up the tomato vines and plant them near our cave later."

So the two cubs came clanking over to work. They were incredibly diligent, and soon all the tomatoes were picked clean.

Hu Hui ran up. "Mistress, what can I do to help?"

Si Yan waved her hand grandly. "Pick tomatoes."

Hu Hui looked at the bright red fruit and shouted, "Alright!"

After picking the tomatoes, Si Yan also accidentally found a few strawberry plants. She excitedly exclaimed, "Dongchi, Nan Mo, these are strawberries!!"

Dongchi and Nan Mo hurried over, their eyes shining brightly too!

"Mother, these are Snake Fruits. Snake Beastmen love them."

The small red berries in front of them were indeed Snake Fruits, the fruit most beloved by snake Beastmen. It turned out that not only did they like to eat this fruit, but Mother liked it too?

Si Yan said excitedly, "Are these your favorite fruits? Then let’s dig up all the Snake Fruit seedlings here and take them back to plant!"

As Si Yan dug up the seedlings, she did so with great eagerness, leaving Hu Hui stunned. What was the Mistress doing? Foraging for fruit, yet digging up the seedlings too? Just digging them up so casually and taking them back to plant? Would they even survive? Oh well, she was the Lord’s female, after all; she could do whatever she pleased.

Finally, Si Yan found something that excited her the most!

"Watermelons! Dongchi Nanmo, come look! It’s watermelons!! We’ve struck it rich, seriously rich!"

One watermelon vine bore two watermelons. Though not many, it was enough to make Si Yan thrilled. Inside the watermelons were seeds, and with seeds, she could grow many more watermelons! How important it was to have watermelons to eat during this scorching summer! Indeed, stockpiling supplies and finding resources was the most satisfying feeling!

She picked a few ripe, large watermelons and also dug up the watermelon vines.

Today’s outing had truly yielded a bountiful harvest; she brought back tomatoes, strawberries, and watermelons!

The four of them carried the dug-up tomato vines, watermelon vines, and strawberry seedlings back, planted them separately, and even built a fence to protect them.
