When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 71 - Wanted

Chapter 71: Wanted

Shuang Yun’s voice was very loud. The surrounding beasts looked at him with envy and jealousy.

Bai Di had expected this, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He was the one who had mated with Huanhuan first, but Shuang Yun got her pregnant first.

He felt indignant just thinking about it!

However, at this point, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only endure it.

Bai Di pushed down the churning emotions in his heart and pulled Huanhuan to his side. “You’re pregnant. You have to be very careful in the future. If there’s anything you want to do or eat, you can tell me and Shuang Yun. We’ll definitely get it for you.”

Shuang Yun quickly said, “Yes, yes! You’ll be our boss from now on. No matter what you say, we’ll listen to you!”

To be honest, even now, Huanhuan was still in a state of confusion about her pregnancy.

Other than her initial shock, the rest of her mind was blank.

Was she pregnant just like that? She didn’t feel anything!

Meng Li accepted Huanhuan’s invitation and followed them to the market. However, he was collectively ignored by the family of three in front of him.

He said unhappily, “Didn’t you say there are vegetables and fruits? Show them to me!”

Bai Di casually handed a bunch of field mustard to Meng Li. “Try it.”

Meng Li had seen this kind of vegetable before, but it was much smaller than the one in his hand. Moreover, he did not know that this kind of vegetable could be eaten.

With the intention of trying, Meng Li casually tore off a vegetable leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet and refreshing taste immediately made his eyes widen!

Delicious!

He immediately stuffed the rest of the leaves into his mouth and finished them in one go. Then, he licked the corner of his mouth. “This vegetable is not bad!”

Bai Di took a cabbage sprout for him to try.

Although cabbage sprouts were not as sweet as field mustards, they were moist and juicy. They also tasted very good.

After Meng Li finished eating, he immediately pointed at the vegetables and fruits on the stall. He said, “I want all these vegetables and fruits. Name your price!”

As a high-ranking witch doctor, Meng Li was definitely not short of money.

Bai Di said, “We only accept herbs and crystals.”

Meng Li looked puzzled. “What do you want herbs for? I remember that the witch doctor of the Rock Wolf Tribe is already dead. Even if you have herbs, you don’t know how to use them, right?”

Shuang Yun said impatiently, “How we use them is our business. Why are you meddling?!”

He and Bai Di had made a private arrangement not to reveal that Huanhuan understood medicine and could read, lest others cause her unnecessary trouble.

Meng Li rolled his eyes at Shuang Yun, then took out a hide bag and took out two colorless crystals the size of fingernails. “These two crystals should be enough to buy all the vegetables and fruits from your stall, right?”

“Of course, they’re enough.” He smiled. “I thought you’d offer me herbs in exchange. You’re a witch doctor, after all. You must have plenty of them.”

“No matter how many herbs I have, I still have to save them. Besides, there are so many beasts in our Wild Horse Tribe. Of course, I have to save more in case of emergencies!”

Meng Li was only halfway through his sentence.

The last time they fought the Black River Wolf Tribe, many wild horses died. Many of them had yet to recover from their injuries, and those medicinal herbs were consumed especially quickly.

Meng Li wished he could collect more herbs. How could he bear to give them to others?!

Bai Di took the colorless crystals and packed all the vegetables and fruits with Shuang Yun.

Lin Huanhuan interrupted and asked, “Witch Doctor Meng Li, what’s that leaf I just sniffed?”

If it were anyone else asking this question, Meng Li would definitely ignore them. This was a knowledge that only witch doctors could know. Ordinary beasts were not qualified to know.

However, Huanhuan was a female. She was a cute pregnant one at that. Even someone as stubborn as Meng Li could not help but soften a little.

Anyway, she was only a female. It wouldn’t hurt to tell her. It wasn’t like she could become a witch doctor.

Ever since beasts appeared on this continent, no one had ever heard of a female becoming a witch doctor!

Meng Li said, “That’s a purple fragrance leaf. Ordinary beasts can’t smell anything. Only pregnant female beasts can smell the stench.”

Lin Huanhuan broadened her mind and drew inferences. “Can you determine how long a female has been pregnant based on how strong the stench is?”

Meng Li was surprised. “How did you know?”

Lin Huanhuan stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously. “I was just guessing.”

“You’re right. It’s just as you said.” Meng Li’s expression softened. “You’re very smart. It’s just a pity that you’re a female…”

If she were a male beast, she might be able to inherit Lang Zhu’s mantle and become the new witch doctor.

Shuang Yun interrupted their conversation. “The goods are all loaded. Do you want to take them back yourself, or should we send them back for you?”

“I can carry it back myself.”

Meng Li transformed into a tall gray horse.

He carried two large bags of vegetables and fruits before racing back.

Lin Huanhuan took Bai Di’s hand and said, “Shall we go to the forest to look for purple fragrance leaves later?”

Purple fragrance leaves were simply a divine tool in detecting a female’s pregnancy. As long as she had these leaves, she would no longer have to worry about how to determine if the females in the tribe were pregnant.

Bai Di had always been obedient to her requests. This time was no exception.

“Okay.”

Shuang Yun instructed slowly, “Try to interact less with Meng Li in the future.”

“Why?” Huanhuan was very puzzled.

Bai Di understood what Shuang Yun meant and took the initiative to explain, “Meng Li is a witch doctor. Considering how he could become a witch doctor, he’s definitely not a simple person. If he knows that you have so many good traits, he’ll definitely try to snatch you away. He might even do something to hurt you.”

Lin Huanhuan nodded seriously. “I understand.”

Speaking of witch doctors, she remembered Ma Qing, whom she’d only met twice. That guy was also a witch doctor, and he was very special.

Although the Black River Wolf Tribe had been destroyed, Ma Qing had escaped. No one knew his whereabouts.

He was like a bomb. No one knew when it would explode.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but worry. “Hasn’t Ma Qing been found yet?”

Speaking of this, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but frown. “That guy is too cunning. His whereabouts have been unknown since he escaped from the Black River Tribe. We’ve sent many beasts to look for him, but we’ve never found any clues.”

Lin Huanhuan thought for a moment and suddenly taught him a trick.

“Why don’t we issue a warrant? As long as anyone can capture Ma Qing or provide clues about his whereabouts, we can give them a generous reward.”

Shuang Yun’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea!”
