My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

In Yuefu, the northern border, the servants were clearing the snow. A whirlwind blew by. The servants quickly hunched their necks and rubbed their hands.

"It's getting colder day by day!" said Servant A.

"How can it not be cold? It was windy just now and it's especially freezing! Hurry up and clear the snow. Then we can go into the house earlier." Slave B responded.

"Well! That's right, the wind just now was so strong. It almost blew me away." Slave A continued.

"Okay! Stop talking! Work hard! We can rest after we finish the work, so you have to be serious. In the whole northern territory, our house is the only place with the best treatment. Don't be lazy, or you'll be at a big loss if you get thrown out!" Slave B said impatiently because of the cold.

"Ah! Yes! Yes! Be serious! Be quick!" Slave A stopped talking nonsense and quickly speeded up his hands.

The hurricane they were discussing had already blown to Yue Dao's study room.

"Bang!" The door was blown open with a loud noise.

"Huh!?" Dao, who had just closed his eyes to rest, was so frightened that he opened his eyes.

"The wind is too strong today! Master, you should continue to rest. I'll go out to guard the door." Fu Bo looked at Dao with dark eyes and said. Alas! Since the eldest daughter came home injured, the master has not been able to sleep well for several days. Fu Bo saw it with his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He added more charcoal to the stove, stood up and went to check that the doors and windows were closed.

"Young Master...Young Master...Young Master!?" Uncle Fu, who had just walked out of the inner room and came to the door, exclaimed in shock when he saw Ming, who was covered in weather-beaten clothes.

"Hello, Grandpa Fu! Is grandpa in the inner room?" Ming greeted with a smile.

“Ah~! In…”

"Afu!? Is that Ming? My little Ming is back!" Dao, who heard the noise, also hurried out from the inner room.

"Ming! It's really my son Ming!" Dao ran over and hugged him tightly. Then he grabbed his arms and looked at him carefully. "Uh... he's stronger! That's what he looks like..." Dao, who also loves to be neat, also showed an expression that was hard to describe.

"Oh~! Grandpa, don't worry about these details! Are my mother and father okay?" After confirming that his partner was safe, Ming was most worried about his parents. Looking at the mansion with white lanterns hanging, he felt even more uneasy.

"Come, let's go into the inner room and talk. It's very cold outside." Dao touched Ming's cold hands and said distressedly. "Ah Fu, close the doors and windows, and go to the eldest lady's yard to see if they have woken up?"

"Yes!"

"Oh! Also, ask someone to bring some ginger soup. Don't forget to add honey." Dao continued to order.

"Yes!" Uncle Fu turned and left the room.

"Grandpa! My mother and the others..."

"Don't worry! Everything is fine!" Dao gave Ming a reassuring look.

"Hey! When they first arrived, I was shocked! I didn't expect it! My Yue'er has suffered so much! This damn city lord and Ya! I will never let them go!" Dao thought of his beloved daughter, who ran back covered in blood. And the corroded shoulder, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Grandpa! This matter was our negligence. I didn't expect that the most hidden traitor would be the one we spend every day with..." Ming thought of Ya and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. Hate, for sure. But how could he really remain indifferent to decades of family affection?

"Ah~!" Dao sighed as he looked at the silent Ming. How could he not know what his grandson was thinking? Because of this, he hated Ya even more. He hated him for deceiving his daughter and for hurting his family. That's why he would check Ya's background as soon as possible. He would be shocked if he didn't check. "I'm telling you, this Ya..."

"Bang!" "Father~!" The door was pushed open again. Yue rushed in, followed by Wei.

"Ming~! You're finally here!" Yue stepped forward, held Ming's arms, and looked at him carefully. "Uh... why are you in such a mess?" Yue said with disdain.

"Okay! Let's sit down and talk." Wei pulled Yue over and helped her sit by the fire and said.

Ming, who was rescued, touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He really didn't understand why everyone was so concerned about his appearance. Fortunately, he had tidied up a little on the way here. Otherwise, if they saw him in the southern border, looking for a partner, he would be scared to death.

"Mother! Father! Are your injuries feeling better?" Ming asked with concern.

"Everything is fine! It's okay! Your father can now kill the old city lord with one punch! Don't worry!" Yue narrated easily.

Everyone: "..."

"Ah~ah~ah!" The crows walked past in a line. This is a bit of an exaggeration.

"Hey! Where are my daughter-in-law and grandchildren?" Yue asked anxiously when she didn't see Erye and the others.

"Why are you the only one back? What happened to Ye and the others? Tell me! Tell me! Is it the city lord? Or that bastard Ya? Tell me now! Tell me now!"

"Mother~Mother~! Don't get excited! You have so many questions, please give me some time to explain them!" Ming gave Wei a look, asking him to help Yue calm down.

"Ye and the others are all fine. I just reunited with her yesterday..."

"Reunited? Where is she? Where did you hide her?"

"Okay! Let's listen to Ming first, okay? Honey~!" Wei said to Yue helplessly and dotingly.

"Oh! Okay!" Yue calmed down obediently.

"Huh~!" "It was Ye who came to find me. Otherwise, I would not have been able to find her until now. Ye took her cubs and went back to her hometown! But her hometown is very far away from us. So far away that it is not even in the same world." Ming said with some sadness.

"I should have thought of it earlier. I thought Ye just had the same adventure as I did in my early years. She could travel to a place thousands of miles away in an instant. I didn't expect her experience to be even more bizarre. She is not an orc from this world. Hey~! I knew it~! How could a female with so many Pokémon be a member of an ordinary tribe?..." Wei sighed.

"What!? You guessed it a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell me?" Yue, who was standing by, was not happy! Ever since she experienced Ya's betrayal, her nerves had become somewhat sensitive.

"Hey! I was just guessing! Facts have proved that there are some discrepancies between what I guessed and what I told you. So what's the difference between telling you and deceiving you? I can't do anything to deceive Yue!" Wei Zhen explained with a strong desire to survive.

"Hmph! This is better!" Yue felt comforted and decided not to pursue the matter further.

"Then how do you think we can find them?" Unlike Yue and Wei who were showing off their affection, Dao immediately thought of the key point of the problem.

"Well! I need your help, grandpa!" Ming replied.

"Oh~? Tell me about it! Grandpa will fully support you!"

"Ye said that she was able to come back because her grandmother used witchcraft to send her here. I thought of the greatest witch in the North. Grandpa happens to be familiar with him, so can you take me to see him?" Ming directly expressed his thoughts.

"Wu? You mean the state teacher beside the Beast King?"

"Yes! I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to me, Grandpa."

"Oh~! What's so difficult about this? Just ask your grandfather to bring gifts and accompany you. As long as we can meet Ye again. No matter how difficult it is, we will give it a try! Besides, didn't your father invite him to the house a few days ago to perform a ritual~! Isn't that right, father?" The impatient Yue looked at the hesitant Dao and said with some guilt.

"Hehehe...you~ still have the nerve to bring up this matter...Hey~! I told you, I will do my best to support Ming bastard. You little girl, you still don't believe in your father?" Dao deliberately showed a sad look.

"I believe in Grandpa..."

"Hey~! It's okay! Just listen to me." Dao cleared his throat. "If we just want to find a powerful sorcerer, I don't think there's any need to look for a national master. I have a more suitable candidate to recommend. So now, let's talk about this national master first!"

"Don't even look for him! Why are you still talking about him? Who can you recommend to us? Let's talk about business first..." Yue muttered softly.

"Hehehe...the matter of the National Master is also a big deal. Most people don't know as much as I do. It's somewhat related to us!" Dao said with a gossipy look on his face.

"Okay! Okay! Let's listen to it!" Yue's gossip factor was also aroused.

"This imperial teacher had a love affair with the deceased female pet. They got pregnant and gave birth to a male cub." Dao said with interest.

"Ah~? With the Beast King's favorite female? Doesn't this mean the Beast King is cuckolded?" Yue asked in surprise.

"Who says it's not true? But the Beast King needs a national teacher! No one can replace his abilities. So we have to turn a blind eye." Dao said gloatingly.

"Tsk! You are such a bully!" Yue thought of the normally arrogant Beast King and felt relieved for some reason.

"Hahaha... cough! Not long after that, the female pet fell seriously ill and passed away. And the male cub also disappeared inexplicably."

"Conspiracy! A naked conspiracy!" Yue affirmed.

"Hmm! My daughter is smart. She immediately realized that it was man-made." Dao gave a thumbs up.

Wei and Ming looked at each other. Then they turned their eyes to the father and daughter in front of them, sharing gossip and praising each other. He sighed in his heart, hey~! As long as they are happy, that's good.

"Okay! Now that we've finished listening to the gossip, I have to say it's really exciting. Father, please tell us who you recommend!" Yue asked anxiously, holding Dao's arm.

"Okay! Okay! No rush! Aren't you curious about who that male cub is?"

"Oh~! That's the National Master and the Beast King's business to worry about. We can only sympathize with him at most. Now of course it's our business, the most important!" Yue continued shaking his arms.

"Okay~! The last sentence. That male cub is Ya!"

"What!?" Yue's hands slipped down.

Wei and Ming also looked incredulous.

"Well, this is what I found out after you were injured. So, I don't recommend asking the national master for help. Does anyone know if they have any contact?" Dao said thoughtfully.

"Well! I agree with Father! Then who should we look for?" Wei asked, holding Yue who looked stunned.

"Don't worry about that. What I recommend will definitely not be worse than what the national teacher recommends. As everyone knows, when it comes to witchcraft and magic... we have to look at the elves. They are mysterious and difficult for others to find. But don't you two know best where they live?" Dao Yi said with a hint of meaning.

"Ah~? Right! We forgot about this. It's true that those involved are confused, but those who are not involved can see things more clearly." Yue said after recovering from the gossip. "Ming, don't worry. Your father and I will definitely ask for the help of the elves. Let's set off now without delay!" Yue grabbed Wei's hand and was ready to leave.

"Mother! Let me go with Father! It's too cold, and your injury hasn't healed yet..."

"Such a nagging..." Yue said anxiously.

"Just listen to Ming!" Without following Dao, Shuangshuang agreed.

"But……"

"Yue~! We will be back soon. You have to trust me! Isn't it good to stay at home with your father?"

"Yes! Yue'er doesn't want to stay at home and accompany father?" Dao said pitifully at the time.

"Um... okay then! Go quickly and come back soon, be careful!" Yue hugged her partner and advised.

"Okay! Don't worry!" Before he finished speaking, he led the way and took Ming on the journey to find the elves.
