My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Today's hunting was a good harvest. Ba hurried home carrying the food he had been allocated.

Outside the house, Ni was picking and cleaning wild vegetables. She didn't want to care about the crazy female in the house.

"Ni, look! Today we got a whole hind leg of a long-eared rabbit." Ba said happily to Ni who was picking wild vegetables.

Ni looked up and was very happy to see Ba ​​return with a full load. But when he thought about what happened today, his excited heart was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Ni put down the wild vegetables in his hand, stood up, rubbed his cervical spine, which was painful from bowing his head for a long time, and pulled Ba to a place far away from the house. He looked around to see if there were any orcs.

Ba was completely confused by Ni's behavior. Holding the meat, he asked in confusion, "Ni, what's wrong? What's going on? So mysterious? Did the Madam send you something again?" It's no wonder that Ba was thinking too much. In fact, Shi Erye was too generous. Every time he gave Ni food, Ni would quietly share it with him. It was really fragrant and delicious. Ba felt embarrassed, so every time he went hunting, he would bring back some food for Ni and let her give it to the Madam.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you just left after delivering the things. These are worthless things from the mountain. How could you accept expensive gifts from the madam every time..." Ba continued to educate Ni.

"No!" Ni saw that there were no orcs nearby, so he spoke loudly.

"Uh! It's Cao who's causing trouble at home!" Ba said helplessly. Ba pinched his brows. "Don't worry about her. Just make sure she and the kid don't starve. From now on, she can do everything else on her own!"

Looking at his exhausted brother, Ni felt both distressed and disappointed in him.

Ni has observed these days and found that her brother does not love Cao in his heart, not even like her. Ni does not understand love. But she has seen the love between the young master and the lady. When the two are together, even the air around them is sweet. Ni has never felt a trace of sweetness in the relationship between Ba and Cao. There is only Cao's complaints and disdain, and Ba's indifference.

"What's going on between you and Cao? You have to tell me today, no one else is around." Ni asked in a tough tone. She really didn't want Cao to continue to harm her brother.

"Oh, my dear sister, just grow up with peace of mind. I will take care of your brother's affairs myself. If you worry about too many things in a day, don't be afraid of not growing taller." Ba touched Ni's head and said.

"As long as she behaves herself, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a male beast and will not let her and her cubs starve. If she continues to fantasize about unrealistic dreams and wants to commit suicide, I can't do anything about it..." Ba said meaningfully.

"It's too late!" Mud thought, the grass was already committing suicide.

"What?" Tomoe asked, frowning. "Too late for what?"

"She has gone to seek death. Today, she went to see Madam..."

"Ah!~~"

Before Ni could finish his words, the scream of grass was heard from the house in the distance!

The two looked at each other and quickly ran towards the house.

The door was wide open, and the two entered the house and saw a mighty and tall male with his back to them. He was commanding a brave wolf beast to whip Cao's face. The flesh pads as big as a palm leaf fan did not retract their nails. Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, was beaten on half of his face, and blood was dripping. Even if he recovered, it would probably leave claw marks.

"Young Master!" Facing the light, Ba Heni could still feel the hostility from Ming.

"Save me~" Cao, who was almost fainting from the pain, opened his mouth tremblingly and asked Ba for help.

The little tiger cub next to him saw Ba coming and tried to escape to his father's arms, but Haha, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, pinned him to the ground with one claw.

Ni knew in her heart that the young master would not let Cao go easily, but she did not expect that it would happen so soon. Before she could finish telling Ba about this matter... She opened her mouth, but did not know how to start. Looking at Cao's miserable appearance, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart, and did not sympathize with her at all.

Ba thought about what Ni hadn't finished saying. After a little thought, he realized that Cao must have bumped into the lady. I just don't know how the lady is doing now? Humph! What a stupid bug! I thought that as long as she was content to take care of the cub, even if I had no feelings for her, I would not pursue her calculations. I would fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and father. Now it seems that there is no need for me to hide it for her. I just hope I can save the tiger cub from the wolf's claws.

"I don't care whether you did it intentionally or not. It's true that my female was frightened because of your relationship. You and your mother want to just pat your butts and walk away, but that's not going to happen. You deserved the slap just now. Now I ask you, it was this kid's fault. Are you willing to take another slap or for me to pull out his fangs? Hmm?" Ming stepped hard on the grass that was about to faint.

Cao was now extremely regretful. When she first saw Ming coming to her house to look for her, she was very happy. But before she could shyly start a conversation, the wolf beside him came up and pawed her. She knew without even looking that her face was now covered in blood. If he pawed her again, she would definitely not be able to bear it. Damn Ba, he saw her, a female, being beaten, but he didn't come to save her...

"Ah!~" Without giving her any extra time to think, Ming spun his feet and exerted force. "Have you thought about it? What's your choice?" Ming said sinisterly, like a devil.

"I choose!... I... pull out my teeth..." Cao's teeth trembled in pain, and he tried desperately to break free from Ming's feet...

The tiger cub stared at the grass in disbelief with his round eyes.

Ni and Ba also looked at her in disbelief. She could actually say the words of tooth extraction without hesitation!

Ba originally thought that Cao was just stupid, selfish, and greedy, but he didn't expect her to be so vicious! Then don't blame yourself for being ruthless and killing your relatives for the sake of justice.

There was still a trace of hesitation in Ba's heart, but looking at the tiger cub under the wolf's claws, he made a firm decision.

"Heh... I thought the cub really couldn't understand what I said, but I didn't expect it to be so smart." Seeing the cub's reaction, Ming became more certain of his inner guess. It seemed that it was Cao who ordered it to attack Ye.

Thinking of Shi Erye lying on the bed with a big belly and a pale face, Ming gritted his teeth and shouted, "Haha..."

"Young Master! Young Master, please show mercy! I have something to report! Please listen to me before making a decision. I have no complaints!" Ba lowered his head and said to Ming earnestly.

"Oh? I don't want to hear any more nonsense!" Ming said expressionlessly.

"Young Master, I beg you to listen before making a decision!" Ba said with a firm attitude!

Looking at the orc in front of him, who was neither arrogant nor humble, he glanced at the mud behind him. This little female was quite pleasing to Ye. Giving her a chance was not impossible.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Ming looked at Ba and said calmly.

Ba heaved a sigh of relief. The young master was willing to give him a chance to speak, proving that the tiger cub might be saved.

"Young master, please follow me outside the house!" Ba made a gesture of invitation and said to Ming.

Ming frowned. Never mind. He had already spoken. He could give him a chance. It didn't matter if he wasted some time. "Haha, you stay here and wait for me to come back." He loosened his foot and rubbed it on the ground, as if he had stepped on something dirty.

The two of them went outside and came to the place where Ni had just stood. Ba looked around.

"No need to look, there is not a single orc within a few hundred meters." Ming has now leveled up twice. His five senses are even sharper. Nothing can escape his perception within a few hundred meters.

Ba looked at Ming with envy and admiration. He had never expected that the young master would reach such a level of cultivation at such a young age! He was so powerful that it was terrifying!

Unable to bear Ba's burning, envious, and admiring gaze, Ming said impatiently, "Tell me your reasons."

Ba came back to his senses, put away his admiring expression, and said seriously, "The grass and the snake beast are related!" He got straight to the point.

"Huh?" Ming really didn't expect this to be such explosive news. No wonder Ba was so confident and cautious, telling him the secret alone.

"Are you sure?" The only thing Ming couldn't figure out was, what could the snake beast do if it found a weak female?

"Sure! Cao and I became partners by accident. It was when you led us hunting for the last time. At that time, after dividing the prey, you were in a hurry to go home, and you gave me the water that Cao was carrying." Ba said, looking at Ming.

Ming frowned, trying to recall in his mind that, apart from Shi Erye, he seldom cared about the things around him. It had been a long time since he last led a hunt. Ever since he became a partner with Shi Erye, he was used to fighting alone, and he would select the prey according to Shi Erye's preference. He felt that it was a burden to bring a team of orcs. Anyway, he had no shortage of prey, so he was unwilling to let Shi Erye down.

However, she was good friends with Man and Li, and Cao was their sister. She had brought water to Man and Li many times, and indeed she had brought water to herself. Ming was not a person who cared about trouble, so she never said much. Sometimes she would give it to Man who hadn't had enough to drink, and sometimes she would give it to the warriors who were hunting nearby.

"You mean, there's something wrong with the water?" Ming already had a guess in his mind, so he asked Ba.

"Well, after drinking the water, I wanted to go to the forest again to catch some prey while the sun was still bright. You know my situation. In order to fill my sister's stomach... The hill behind your house is relatively flat, so I went around it and ran into the grass by the river. At that time, she was flushed and in a trance. When she saw me, she rushed over and kept calling your name..."

"Enough! Let's get to the point!" He was so angry that he could not hide his disgust just by listening to Ba's story! He did go to the river to wash himself after every hunt. However, since he met Erye, his family had bought a water tank to hold water. In addition, river water can only wash away blood stains. It can't wash away the bloody smell. Ming was afraid of fuming her, so he would go home and wash carefully with warm water and bubble fruit.

Ming frowned, his face was gloomy, and his lips were tightly pursed. How could the damn female know his whereabouts? She would never be able to do it without someone's help. "How do you know that the snake beast helped her?" Ming already believed what Ba said.

"The next day, I went to see the witch doctor. After he took my blood and observed it, he confirmed that I had eaten the charm fruit of the snake tribe by mistake." Ba said, looking at Ming. "Young master, the charm fruit is not easy to obtain even for ordinary snake beastmen. How could it be such a coincidence that I and Cao both ate it by mistake?" Ba looked at Ming who was on the verge of exploding, and said with a bit of gloating. Isn't this directed at you? Oh! It's really rare to see the young master who usually has no desires and no demands, getting angry. I completely forgot that it was because of him that I was tricked and tied to Cao.

"I already know, keep the tiger cub's teeth." Ming quickly regained his composure and said to Ba in a contemptuous manner. "Your things, take good care of them. There won't be a next time!" Ming said calmly.

"Young Master, please rest assured. They will never appear in front of Madam again." Ba assured sincerely.

"Haha!" Ming looked at Ba and called out to the Wolf King. Haha soon came running over, still holding the frightened tiger cub in his mouth.

"Give it back to him and let's go home." Ming said to Haha.

Haha threw the tiger cub in his mouth to Ba, and followed Ming away.
