Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Under such gazes, Xixi found it difficult to remain calm, her face inexplicably turning red, yet she had no idea what the problem was.

She was just doing the same thing as the witch chief, healing the sick and saving lives. Why did everyone immediately assume that she was going to take the old man as her beast husband?

Oh, right, it's still different. After all, after the shaman heals and saves people, the patients have to pay a certain medical fee, which can be crystals, or prey, animal hides, or something like that. This is one of the reasons why the shaman has a transcendent status and is wealthy.

After receiving treatment yesterday, Mr. Fang not only left nothing behind, but also ran away with a big tooth showing.

This problem plagued Xixi all night, and even in her dreams, that scene kept replaying in her mind. It was truly a Waterloo in her cat-loving career!

"Things really aren't what you think. Fang Lao and I are completely innocent. If you don't believe me, you can just ask him directly!" Xi Xi felt like she couldn't explain herself, so she could only helplessly rub her forehead.

"Really?" Perhaps because Xixi had emphasized it so many times, Nuannuan could see the helplessness of being unable to defend herself in Xixi's expression.

Could it be that I've really misunderstood?

No, how is that possible!

Xixi herself admitted that she had given Fang Lao emotional support, so how could she possibly be innocent!

This doesn't make any sense at all!

But why won't Xixi admit it? It's nothing shameful; on the contrary, it's a joyous occasion!

For the tribe, the two rivals for the chieftainship have become brothers, so even if they fight in the future, it will only be a one-on-one duel and will never be expanded. This is beneficial to the overall stability of the tribe!

In this way, the tribe can transition smoothly. It should be noted that many tribes in history have been defeated because of the change of chieftain. In severe cases, a good tribe may even be split in two, and they may kill each other. Today you kill one of my people, tomorrow I kill one of your families. In the long run, both sides will be injured!

As for Xixi herself, as a female, the more beastmen the better. There are so many things to do at home and outside, and what doesn't need help? What's more, there are beast tides that suddenly appear from time to time, and the autumn hunting operation held to avoid beast tides. Every household needs to have a capable male to fight!

"Really!" Xixi was tired of talking. "When a male is paired with a female master, he has to bring a dowry, right? But look at Fang Lao yesterday, he left without leaving anything, just baring his teeth!"

"Showing his teeth?" What the heck? Why is he showing his teeth before leaving? Is Old Fang dissatisfied with Xixi?

"By the way, did Elder Fang give you the beast seal?" The beast seal is the most important thing. As for the dowry and such, they can be made up for later. Fortunately, they are all in the tribe, so there is no rush.

"No!" Xixi spread her hands. She only had one beast mark, which belonged to the dead father of the baby in her womb. Even Fatty Orange hadn't given her a beast mark.

"Really not?" Nuan Nuan was astonished. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

The Beast Mark is not only a source of energy, but also a vow of marriage. Every male will condense a Beast Mark when he reaches adulthood, and this Beast Mark will automatically enter the female's body when he mates with her.

Xixi said that she had not received the beast mark from Fang Lao at all. Could it be that Fang Lao really frequented the female cave and had already given the beast mark to other females, or that he was disappointed with marriage and sealed the beast mark away completely?

Otherwise, this doesn't make sense!

Just as the two females were struggling with their decision, the old man who had come yesterday appeared at the door. He looked at Tanuki and the others who were installing the lock, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Her husband came over yesterday, and today she installed a lock. Who is she keeping an eye on? Could it be to keep an eye on her husband?

No, this is crucial information; he must report it immediately!

So he put down what he was holding, turned around and ran away, disappearing before Xixi and the others could react.

"What's in that bag he brought over?" Nuannuan waved to Li Hui.

The latter immediately understood and hurriedly picked up the bag.

The first time I tried to lift it, I clearly underestimated its weight and almost stumbled. I quickly adjusted my stance, used my waist to lift it again, and exclaimed, "It's quite heavy!"

He placed the items on the stone table in front of Nuannuan as gently as possible, but the table still wobbled slightly under the immense weight.

Nuannuan couldn't help but feel curious. "Quickly open it and let me see what Old Fang sent. It's not some kind of stone, is it? It's so heavy!"

"Wow! By the Beast God! Forgive my poor eyesight, but I've never seen so many crystals before!"

She exclaimed in amazement, sometimes sincerely clasping her hands together in prayer, and sometimes circling around the crystal, clearly very excited.

"Dowry! It must be the dowry! I knew it! Although Old Master Fang is domineering, he is definitely a good family man!"

"Really? You didn't say that just now!" Especially when she heard her say that she wasn't given the beast mark, she could clearly see the disappointment and disdain in his eyes. Although he didn't say it outright, she was sure that he had labeled Fang Lao as a bad guy in his heart!

"Perhaps it's a consultation fee?" Xixi rubbed her wrist. She hadn't felt anything when she performed the procedure in mid-air yesterday, but after sleeping on it, it felt a bit sore and swollen.

“Just like the shaman, your grandmother had to charge a consultation fee for treating patients, right? This is the consultation fee that Fang Lao paid to thank me for comforting him!” Xi Xi said confidently. “You don’t know how critical the situation was yesterday. His loss of control caused him to partially transform into a beast, and he was just in the process of being poisoned. If I hadn’t comforted him in time, he would probably be a beast without feelings by now!”

Nuannuan stared blankly at Xixi for a long time before giving her a thumbs up and exclaiming sincerely, "Xixi, you are truly a warrior!" She actually dared to mate with a berserk beastman on the verge of transformation, and while pregnant at that!

To risk one's life to save others—if one didn't love them deeply, why would one go to such lengths?

The reason they are denying it so often now is probably because they feel that Master Fang did not hand over the beast seal and they are afraid that Master Fang will deny it later!

After seeing the crystal that Fang Lao brought with her own eyes, Nuan Nuan was certain that this must be her dowry, not the so-called consultation fee. Even if it were a consultation fee, it would be a fee that would bankrupt her and take away all her wealth!

Having entrusted their entire fortune to someone, how could they possibly deny it afterward? Xixi is probably worrying unnecessarily!

Xixi, completely oblivious to Nuannuan's deeper meaning, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, I also think I'm incredibly brave. Back then, he turned into a cat and lay there menacingly. When I was trying to calm him down, I thought he was going to pounce on me and tear me apart several times!"

"Old Fang received spiritual comfort in the form of a beast? You...you actually...you're courting death!" If Nuan Nuan's tone was somewhat teasing at first, she was now extremely shocked, pointing at Xi Xi with disbelief.
