The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 90 Bombshell
The Love Security System couldn't hold back any longer and let out a scream, saying in a very fast voice, "Ahhhh, you finally realized he's pursuing you?! That's really something. He's the first man to make a blockhead like you realize this."

Ling Chengen was initially enjoying the rare sight, but the screaming chicken system in her mind quickly ruined her interest. She raised her right fingertip, gently rubbed her earlobe, and said in a flat voice, "I have no interest in him."

“But you want the location of the salt mine,” the system said incisively.

Ling Chengen: "..." There's no way to deny it. She has to solve the salt supply problem within this month, otherwise she'll have to buy those expensive and unpalatable salt stones, or eat those lake salts that are harmful to her health.

“You kept making a fuss and insisting that I adjust the tasks, so I did adjust them for you.”

"If you refuse again this time, I'm really going to get angry! And it's really hard to appease me when I'm angry!"

Ling Chengen, feeling somewhat weary, said, "I understand."

She wanted Bai Qingyu to become her beast husband as well.

The main quest was displayed on the panel, and it was even in extra-large font, making it hard for her to pretend she couldn't see it.

"Bai Qingyu is just showing you his beauty and power. You just need to go along with it and agree to his request, and the mission will be successful."

Ling Chengen simply watched the blue crane standing in the lake, remaining silent for a long time.

This task is indeed not difficult. Although she could accept Bai Qingyu's courtship for the reward, Bai Qingyu was after her as a person.

What she can give to the other person is completely different from what the other person wants to ask of her.

If you simply agree to his proposal, endless troubles will follow.

First of all, being with a young man who is only eighteen years old and having intimate contact with him is a very difficult thing for her in itself.

These so-called beastmen, along with Bai Qingyu, are all too young.

Her mental age is much older than theirs, and she has to overcome this psychological hurdle.

So, just thinking about it gave her a headache.

Ling Chengen stood still, his eyes slightly lowered.

Bai Qingyu had been watching her closely. The moment her attention shifted, he abandoned his hunting in the water, spread his wings, flew to her side, transformed into human form, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Don't you like eating flying fish?"

Ling Chengen shook his head, bent down to pick up the fish on the ground, and said with a faint smile, "No, you caught too many. There's no way the two of us can finish them all."

Bai Qingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Don't you have a space?"

"You noticed?" Ling Chengen looked up at him, noticing that he wasn't curious about things like spatial storage. "You know about this kind of storage space?"

Bai Qingyu nodded: "I know some, but most of it comes from the inheritance of Yue Ling Qinghe. Even during the strongest period of the Beast Plains, storage space was a very rare thing. It seems that only earth-type ability users can make it."

"Inheritance?" Ling Chengen twisted a piece of straw rope and threaded it through the mouths of the fish, asking in confusion, "What's that?"

Seeing that there was finally a topic that interested her, Bai Qingyu calmed down and squatted down to pick up the flying fish that were still jumping around. He said to her slowly, "Legend has it that before the appearance of the Beast God, the Beast Plains Continent and the sea were only inhabited by animals and strange beasts, not beastmen."

"The Beast God is actually transformed from the most powerful alien beasts on land. Its initial sign is that it has a complete human form, and later it can freely switch between human and beast forms."

"The first awakened beast god was female. Therefore, there is a view that is accepted by the vast majority of beastmen: all the beastmen on the North and South Beast Plains are descendants of the first female beast god."

"But actually, around the same time as the Beast God, several other very powerful beasts also awakened."

"Because female beastmen and male beastmen can only have offspring by mating, so from some unknown time, legends of love, hatred, and grudges gradually emerged about the first beast god and several other awakened male beast gods."

"But thousands of years have passed since the time of the ancient beast gods. The beast gods have long since fallen like shooting stars, while their descendants have multiplied generation after generation, spreading throughout the entire beast plains..."

"Therefore, the orcs on the Beast Plains all have bloodline inheritance."

"However, unlike animals, orcs do not reproduce within their own species, which has led to the bloodline of the Beast God becoming increasingly diluted over time. Most orcs will never experience a reversion to their ancestral form throughout their lives."

"Like Chang Tianchen, whose bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form?" Ling Chengen squatted by the stream, scraping off the fish scales, and then turned his head to look at Bai Qingyu, who was gutting the flying fish.

Even with his hands covered in blood, Bai Qingyu remained composed. He focused intently on scraping away the black membrane from the inside of the flying fish's abdomen, nodding and saying, "That's right."

"Before his bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, Chang Tianchen was just an ordinary giant snake beastman, like his younger brother Chang Yinbo. His snake body used to be black, without those sharp, spiky scales, and he didn't have those strange, unpleasant fragrances..."

"But due to some rather special reasons, he forcibly broke through and his bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, ultimately becoming neither human nor ghost. But you can see from his current appearance that his beast form is completely that of the Rainbow Scale Heavenly Python, and you can no longer see the original giant snake appearance."

"The bloodline of the Beast God is extremely domineering. Once awakened, it will wash away the original bloodline. This process is extremely painful. Some beastmen who experience bloodline reversion lose their lives because they cannot endure this process."

"During the process of bloodline reversion, one will generally receive an ancient inheritance from the bloodline of the Beast God."

Bai Qingyu cleaned the flying fish in her hand and handed it to Ling Chengen, who had a free hand: "Put all the cleaned fish with you for now."

Ling Chengen took the fish, stared intently, and said, "You mean, you've also reverted to your ancestral ways?"

Bai Qingyu blinked her clear, bright eyes, a smile playing on them: "Pretty much, but I didn't receive much of the inheritance."

"The Crane Clan is different from other races. They pursue one-on-one partnerships, so they are basically all from the same clan. This results in the Crane Clan inheriting a relatively pure bloodline of the Beast God, with a very high probability of reversion to their ancestral form."

"Just like my father and mother, they were both Moon-feathered Azure Cranes, so the three of us brothers are also Moon-feathered Azure Cranes. And my great-grandmother and great-grandmother were also Moon-feathered Azure Cranes."

Ling Chengen sat on the rock behind him, his gaze still fixed on his smiling face: "But now you want to become my partner?"

"Didn't you always want to find a more monogamous female partner?"

Bai Qingyu raised her eyelids, staring blankly into her calm eyes: "You noticed?"

"You're not being subtle at all. Before, you always avoided me like the plague, but now you've taken the initiative to bring me out and spent a lot of time and energy on what I want. The difference is too great; it would be hard to pretend you don't notice."

Bai Qingyu washed his hands, turned around, knelt on one knee, and cupped her left hand in his slightly damp palm: "I am ashamed of my previous arrogance and want to sincerely apologize to you. I have been ignoring your feelings all this time because of my stubbornness and prejudice..."

Ling Chengen simply withdrew his fingertip, his voice extremely calm, yet he dropped a bombshell: "Can't you tell? The Ling Chengen who was chasing you before is not the same person."

Bai Qingyu suddenly looked up, her pupils constricted, and she remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Ling Chengen sighed softly: "You're so smart, you must know what I mean."

She gently placed her hand on his cheek, her fingertips lightly caressing his clean, fair skin. She lowered her head slightly, bringing her face closer, and asked with a smile, "Do you like her more, or me?"

"Can you tell the difference, Bai Qingyu?" Her voice, like a ghost, pierced his heart, digging up all the details he had tried so hard to avoid, forcing him to confront those changes.

Bai Qingyu's lips trembled slightly as he looked up at her quietly.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Ling Chengen chuckled and said, "You already figured it out, but you wanted to go along with it."

Bai Qingyu grasped her hand: "No."

Ling Chengen's eyes were still upturned at the corners, just like before, but at this moment her gaze was extremely sharp, like a sharpened steel knife, completely different from the kind and gentle appearance he remembered.

Bai Qingyu: "I..."

Ling Chengen gently brushed his lower lip with his fingertip, lowering his eyes slightly as he said, "You are indeed an invaluable helper to me. But if I accept your proposal, it will definitely be for your worth, not for romance, much less for having your children..."

Bai Qingyu's breathing became lighter, but Ling Chengen intended to be direct and clear with him: "If you really like me, and it's not because you lost the little tiger cub who used to chase after you, and now you've suddenly realized your mistake and are determined to make up for all the regrets from before."

"Then I can accept you."

"But I need you to think this through carefully."

Ling Chengen suddenly leaned down, cupped his face, opened his mouth and bit his lips until he tasted a faint metallic flavor, then gently kissed away the bloodstains on his lips.

"I am very possessive. I am not a monogamous partner, nor am I a gentle and obedient female."

"If you really want to get close to me, you have to gamble your whole life."

Bai Qingyu was both intoxicated by her cold yet painful kisses and dazed by her sharp words.

The person in front of me is completely different from the real Ling Chengen.

Ling Chengen stopped in time, his eyes still clear.

He picked up a few cleaned fish from the ground, got up, and walked away from him.

She ignored the little broken system screaming in anger in her mind, and just shook her head helplessly, saying, "Still too young, such a small impact and you're in a daze for half a day."

The Love Security System was itching to crack open her head to see how many tons of seawater were inside: "Are you crazy? Are you a werewolf self-destructing? Are you afraid Ling Xiao won't know? If he finds out you've taken over his daughter's body, he might torture you to death as an evil spirit!"

Ling Chengen lit the firewood and lazily yawned.

"Will not."

As Ling Chengen receives more and more fragments of memory, he becomes increasingly certain of one thing.

This body originally belonged to her.

Although she couldn't see her own soul, she could clearly sense the completeness of her spiritual domain.

Everyone's mental domain is different, and their mental strength cannot be perfectly matched unless they are originally the same person.

Although she still doesn't understand the connection between this beast-world body and her post-apocalyptic self...

But the answer will eventually be revealed.

The system sensed her thoughts and thought she was too cunning: "Since you think that Ling Chengen and you are the same person, why did you lie to Bai Qingyu? Your heart is really black."

"What a handsome young man! You've completely fooled him, and he's still questioning himself and his life!"

"That heartless old Deng—"

Ling Chengen didn't like hearing that, so he used his mental power to bind the system and whipped it a few times with a small leather whip: "If you keep spouting such nonsense, I'll crack your skull open."

The system swung back and forth within her mental domain like a swing, grumbling, "Where do I have a skull? You wicked woman! You vile shrew! You tigress! You're ruthless..."

Ling Chengen simply blocked its sound, intending to leave it alone for a while, lest this little yellow cat always get carried away.

Bai Qingyu ate a fish absentmindedly, and then lost his appetite.

Ling Chengen didn't press him, and simply asked, "If you're in a bad mood, we can go back directly."

After regaining her senses, Bai Qingyu shook her head and said, "I'll take you there."

He didn't explain anything further, but silently flew with Ling Chengen to the overgrown wilderness. After circling in the air once, they hurriedly landed.

“This is it.” Bai Qingyu casually picked a clump and handed it to Ling Chengen. “This kind of grass with granular fruits grows everywhere.”

Ling Chengen peeled off the fruit's skin directly, and with a pinch of his fingertip, the fruit burst out with white sap.

She lowered her head to taste it, then brought up the system again, and finally confirmed it.

This is wheat.

And they're almost ripe.

Although the system still wanted to complain, it didn't want to be locked in the dark room again, so it could only mutter, "This is tree wheat from the Beast World. It's probably because the environment in the Beast World is different from the post-apocalyptic world that the wheat here grows taller, but the ears of grain are also very large and the kernels are very plump."

"Although this is wheat, not rice, they both belong to the Poaceae family, so it can be considered a way to realize the dream of enjoying the cool shade under the wheat in another world?" the system whispered.

Ling Chengen: "Can you detect how large the area covered by this tree wheat is?"

The system quickly provided the answer: "The area is extremely large, approximately 2000 hectares."

"But because it is mixed with all kinds of weeds and shrubs, the actual yield will definitely be drastically reduced."

Upon hearing this number, a smile finally appeared on Ling Chengen's usually calm face, and his originally cold features suddenly became lively.

Bai Qingyu was stunned for a long time when he saw the smile on her face. It wasn't until a snake crawled across the back of his foot that he suddenly came to his senses, reached out and pinched the snake by its seven-inch mark, and threw the snake directly into the grass in the distance.

"So, this is the plant you're looking for?" He stood on the mound, looking down at the vegetation in the field below that was much taller than him. "What exactly is this?"
