Beast world heartthrob: a young female wins the heart of a beast by giving birth to cubs

Chapter 41 The Cold-Faced Mermaid's Heart Beats Unknowingly

Lan You looked in the direction of the cave and pointed to a small pit beside the cave. Bai Susu immediately understood what was happening and hurried over to dig up the small pit. Then she found her bloody animal bag buried inside.

Lan You explained: "There is too much blood on your beast bag. The smell of blood will attract mutant beasts. I thought the things in the beast bag were useless, so I buried it in the soil to cover up the smell."

After listening to his explanation, Bai Susu also expressed her understanding. After all, Lan You didn't recognize the things inside. She quickly opened the animal bag and checked the contents.

Self-heating hot pot*2, some wild fruits, a few pieces of smoked meat, some dried meat, flashlight*1, Bai Susu took out the self-heating hot pot from her bag, and then said: "I'm a little hungry, I'll get something to eat."

Lan You stared in the direction of Bai Susu, not knowing what he was thinking, then got up and left. He found a branch, went to the pond, picked up a few palm-sized fish from it, and then took them back.

More than ten minutes later, when Lan You returned, Bai Susu had already prepared the self-heating hot pot. Lan You saw Bai Susu making some strange things and frowned slightly.

Faced with these strange things, he just took a few more glances and didn't ask any questions.

A burst of fragrance wafted over, and his stomach growled. He felt hungry, so he took the fish in his hand and handed it to Bai Susu: "Aren't you hungry? Eat some fish."

Bai Susu smiled and pointed at the self-heating hot pot: "I'm indeed hungry, but I've already prepared something delicious."

Seeing this, Lan You glanced at Bai Susu and saw that she had already prepared delicious food and lit a fire. He silently put the fish down and turned around to leave.

Bai Susu called him: "Lan You, where are you going? Sit down and eat together."

She specially made two copies. Lan You turned around and looked at Bai Susu, who was in a daze. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Come here quickly."

Lan You went over and sat down, feeling a little reserved. When he was in the mermaid tribe, he rarely had contact with females, so now he felt a little uncomfortable.

"This is yours." Bai Susu handed a portion of self-heating hot pot to Lan You and took one for herself: "Eat it quickly."

After Lan You took it, he glanced at the contents of the square box in Bai Susu's hand. He didn't know what was inside the box, but it was bright red like blood.

But his and hers seemed a little different. Although the ingredients were the same as hers, the broth was bland, and the two portions were very different.

He lowered his head and sniffed, a strange fragrance invaded his nose, which he found very strange. Seeing that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Bai Susu said: "Don't worry, eat it, I won't hurt you. Your portion is spicy just like mine, but you are a fish, and I thought you couldn't handle spicy food, so I didn't put the chili powder in it."

Without the chili bun, there would be no salt, so she secretly added salt to his soup, so his portion was different from hers, which was full of red oil.

"Thank you." Lan You took a bite. The first taste was novel, but acceptable. When he took the second bite, he gradually fell in love with the taste and finished it before he knew it.

When he looked up, he saw Bai Susu looking at him: "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." He nodded, still savoring the thought.

Bai Susu threw the empty box into the fire and burned it. At Bai Susu's signal, Lan You also threw the garbage in.

They were face to face, speechless. Bai Susu couldn't stand the serious atmosphere and broke the silence: "Lan You, how did you get here?"

Lan You stared at the burning flames, his mind replaying scenes from his past with his tribe. He frowned, "The mermaid tribe was hit by a wave of beasts. Our water source was taken away, our tribe was destroyed, and we were pursued by stray beasts. To save our people, the males of the tribe and I lured the beasts away and ended up here. In the end, I was the only one who survived, and I was trapped here."

Bai Susu thought of the wooden bridges she had seen on the cliff, and then thought of the corpses around her, and quickly asked, "Were you the ones building the bridge on the cliff?"

Lan You was stunned at first, then nodded: "Yes, we were chased to the cliff, hid for a few days, and built the wooden bridge."

Bai Susu was surprised. She didn't expect that the orcs fleeing ahead of them were from the Mermaid Tribe. If the White Tiger Tribe successfully crossed to the cliff on the other side, then the escape routes of the Mermaid Tribe and the White Tiger Tribe might be in the same direction.

She quickly said, "The White Tiger Tribe also encountered a beast tide and was attacked by stray beasts. They fled to the cliffs and I fell here."

"Lan You, what are you going to do next?"

Lan You shook his head: "I don't know the situation around me, and I don't dare to take risks, so I'm trapped here. But we are relatively safe here. There are beast hordes outside. If we go out now, we will be attacked by the beast hordes. We have to wait until the nearby beast hordes pass before making any plans."

Bai Susu nodded and then invited Lan You: "I know how to get to the cliff. Lan You, our White Tiger tribe members are also near the cliff. If everything goes well for them, they should be able to cross to the other side of the cliff along the wooden bridge you built."

"The Mermaid and White Tiger tribes might be fleeing in the same direction, so there's a high probability that the two tribes will run into each other. Lan You, if you're willing, why don't we flee from here together and look for our tribe?"

"Well, okay." Lan You stared at Bai Susu, his face still cold and expressionless. Bai Susu expressed his understanding that he must be very sad about the death of his tribesmen.

She forced a smile to hide her worry and uneasiness.

As the sky grew darker, she felt a little sleepy and leaned against a tree stump to rest...

***

the next day.

When Bai Susu woke up, she heard a grinding sound. She rubbed her eyes and saw Lan You with his back to her, not knowing what he was doing.

"Lan You?" she called softly. Lan You turned around when he heard her voice, holding two stones in his hands, as if grinding something.

She looked carefully and found that they were scales. She looked at Lan You and found that he had turned into a mermaid again. There was a thumb-wide scar on his tail, and blood was flowing out.

Bai Susu was stunned: "Lan You, what are you doing? Why are you pulling out your scales?"

"The scales of the four-striped mermaid can heal wounds. Grind the scales into powder and sprinkle it on the wound to stop bleeding, reduce swelling and pain, and help you recover quickly." Lan You was relatively calm, and his pair of light blue eyes revealed a hint of soft light. Although his expression was still indifferent, one could detect a hint of tenderness in his tone and eyes.

Bai Susu was surprised. She watched Lan You sprinkle the scale powder on the wound. Not long after, the pain in the wound subsided a little. The effect was similar to the ointment given by the system.

She was a little curious: "Do the scales of all the four-striped beasts in your tribe have this effect?"

Lan You shook his head: "Only me."

Because these scales can heal wounds, he has a high status in the mermaid tribe and is also the target of many stray beasts and high-level beasts.

"Ouch——"

Suddenly, a wolf howled. Bai Susu turned around and saw a three-meter-long wild wolf emerging from behind the bushes, staring at them fiercely.

Seeing the wild wolf, Bai Susu's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart began to pound: "System...are all the beasts in this world of beasts this big? This is not normal."

[Host, you've already traveled through time, what else do you need to conform to common sense? Besides, this beast world is completely different from yours. The beasts here are all normal size in your world, but they are several times larger here!]

Bai Susu stood up and immediately entered a combat state of alert. Lan You, who was standing beside her, then took a wooden stick and leaned in front of her to protect her. "Bai Susu, go into the beast cave first. This beast must have escaped from the herd and accidentally come here. It is extremely wild and dangerous."

Bai Susu nodded and quickly hid in the beast cave. The wild wolf stared at Lan You, with green liquid appearing at the corner of its mouth, which was very disgusting. It howled and pounced on him in an instant.

Lan You dodged quickly, turned the wooden stick in his hand, and hit the wolf's head hard. The wolf immediately became dizzy and turned around in place, howling.

Lan You quickly went behind the wild wolf, gripped the wooden stick tightly in his hand, and stabbed the wolf's head hard.

At this moment, another wild wolf jumped out and pounced towards Lan You. Just as Lan You was about to dodge, the wild wolf under him bit his wrist.

He couldn't dodge in time. Seeing the beast getting closer and closer, Bai Susu rushed out: "Be careful!"

She took out a kitchen knife from the space, used her great strength to stab the wolf in the abdomen, then raised her leg and hit the wolf in the abdomen. The wolf fell to the ground instantly after being hit hard.

Instant kill!

Lan You dealt with the wild wolf under him, and turned back to look in the direction of Bai Susu with surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the female in front of him was so powerful!

Bai Susu rushed over: "Lan You, are you okay?"

Seeing the worry in her eyes, like a frightened little animal, Lan You felt like something hit his heart, and a strange feeling arose.

He quickly looked away: "I'm fine."

"I was scared to death just now. The beast bit directly at your neck. If I had been a little later, you might have..." Bai Susu said, thinking of Mei Wuzhi. In order to save her, his tail was bitten off by a stray beast, and his shoulders and neck were injured.

His face was covered in blood, but he still smiled at her, forcing himself to do so. Her heart tightened, and her throat instantly became dry and sore.

Ever since she fell off the cliff, she had been on edge, pretending to be strong, fearing that her consciousness would fade and she would lose the desire to survive. At night, she dared not think about what happened yesterday.

She always had a smile on her face, trying to act relaxed, but she felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

Thinking of his bloody appearance, she could no longer hold back her tears.

How are Mei Wuzhi and the others doing?

She asked the system countless times in her mind, but the system could only detect things around her. Even the system had no news about them...

"Wow--" Bai Susu was heartbroken. She squatted down and cried bitterly with her hands in her hands. She suddenly lost control of her emotions and Lan You was at a loss.

Is she worried about him?

Seeing Bai Susu like this, Lan You felt uncomfortable for some reason. He squatted down and hugged Bai Susu as if possessed by a ghost.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I didn't expect you to cry for me. In the mermaid tribe, females only cry for a male if they like him. This is considered a courtship. Are you... courting me?"

For a moment, they all paused.

Bai Susu looked up, her eyes blank. Did Lan You misunderstand something?

Lan You also looked nervous, her whole face flushed. How could he have held her in his arms without noticing? In the mermaid tribe, males hugging females is also a way of courtship!

Now, who is courting whom?

Bai Susu looked up and happened to meet Lan You's eyes. Seeing that his face was red and he looked strange and panicked, she said, "Did you make a mistake..."

"I found you, four-striped female!"

A whooshing sound was heard, and Bai Susu turned around and saw a giant black python climbing down the vines of the stone wall. After the black python landed on the ground, it transformed into an evil and charming man.

"Wuxie!" The moment she saw Wuxie, Bai Susu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, anger and hatred intertwined in her heart!

How come he is here!

[Host, Wuxie is a snake and can climb rock walls. This cliff is not a problem for him.]

How could she forget that the orcs of the snake tribe can climb rock walls? This cliff is covered with vines. For a five-patterned beast like him, he can use the vines to climb down!

Wu Xie smiled, looking at her with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Female, I'm here to find you. Come with me, I will treat you well."
