The Beast King's Little Wife

The ingredients in front of me are really too simple.

Fortunately, Tiger Sister and her cubs managed to find quite a few bird eggs outside. Some of them were even very large.

In this day and age, as long as you go far and are bold enough, it's still possible to find some large bird eggs.

There were several eggs, each about the size of a fist, right in front of her. Lin Dujuan strongly suspected that these were wild goose eggs or ostrich eggs.

"We have eggs, and we also have some tuberous vegetables that can be made into powder. We also have some millet from the neighbors. Hmm, we can use all of these. We also picked quite a few wild vegetables today, we'll put them to use in a bit."

Lin Dujuan looked at the pile of tuberous plants in front of her and fell into deep thought.

This stuff is actually a bit like modern yam. From the first bite, she knew it was a good thing.

In fact, in this primitive tribe that hasn't developed many culinary delights, there are still plenty of wild ingredients waiting for her to discover.

For example, she found this edible pseudo-yam, which makes excellent food.

After deciding on some of the foods she wanted to make, Lin Dujuan started rolling up her sleeves and getting to work.

"Huya's family, Huya's family, Tiger Mom asked us to come and help. Is there anything else we can do?"

Just as they were busy with this, two tall women walked in.

Both women had very dark skin, and their build and complexion were similar to most women in the village. At first glance, you might mistake them for twin sisters.

But upon closer inspection, the differences can still be seen.

The one walking ahead who greeted Lin Dujuan had bright, sparkling eyes and seemed enthusiastic about everything.

The one behind her was rather shy, only daring to glance at people with her eyes.

"Oh, you've come to help? Sure. Aguye, you help start the fire, and Aguhua, you help prepare the vegetables."

Fortunately, her mother-in-law is a reasonable person.

Knowing she was too busy, they would arrange for a few people to help. After all, this was food for over a hundred people.

Because it was a primitive tribe, and for the best survival, several hundred people lived together.

And this is just a village.

It is said that there are also ten tribes and the like outside.

The so-called "ten tribes" refers to at least ten tribes, or even dozens of tribes, gathered together.

In such places, there is trade, goods for goods. There is also slave trade, and some livelihoods such as food.

Agu Hua was slightly shy, but that was only her initial impression. As they got to know each other better, the young woman became more talkative.

"You, Tiger Tooth, have never seen the tribes outside. There are so many people, so many slaves. Many of them wear huge animal teeth and walk around. It's said that their tribal chiefs live in very spacious stone houses. But our village is just living in simple caves..."

When Aguhua talked about the tribes outside, she spoke fluently and endlessly. This made Lin Dujuan strongly doubt whether her earlier impression that her daughter-in-law was a quiet person was a misconception.

"It sounds like you've been to the ten tribes outside?"

Lin Dujuan asked curiously.

It seems that the so-called tribes here are actually just small towns.

"Well, I... I haven't been to any of the other ten tribes either. But I have been to a small tribe, that's true. It's our Yahu tribe. There are so many people there, and the chief is a very strong man with many children. His eyes are very predatory. Any woman he sets his sights on will eventually become his woman. That tribe also has agriculture and such..."

When the past was mentioned, Aguye, who was tending the fire nearby, looked on with envy.

“Aguhua, you’ve been to other tribes, but I’ve only stayed in our village. Sigh, I really want to go out. Unfortunately, our tribe isn’t strong enough to take our women to wander around other tribes.”

Lin Dujuan asked curiously, "Why? Why can't we go for a stroll outside?"

But after asking the question, she realized that she had asked a stupid one.

Fortunately, neither of her two wives realized that there was anything wrong with what she said.

Agu Hua said somewhat sadly.

"It's because once we go out, the men in the tribe aren't strong enough, so they're easily kidnapped. If someone takes a fancy to our women and a conflict breaks out, it will be very troublesome. It's very likely that the men will be unable to return."

Well, this is a world that values ​​brute force. Once someone sets their sights on you, there's a real chance you might never return. Indeed, strength is everything.

Realizing this, Lin Dujuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Hehe, fortunately, the men go out every year to exchange for essential salt and other medicines. Anyway, the men go out every year. This year, Tiger Tooth has transformed into a human, so he can go out too."

"Oh, is there a limit to the number of spots available for going out?" Lin Dujuan asked curiously, as she also really wanted to go outside.

"Yes, yes, but Tiger Fang can definitely do it. He's always been a valiant warrior in our village, even before he transformed. It seems that the fox who's been inseparable from Tiger Fang today won't be able to transform and will have to part ways with him."

When Lin Dujuan thought of foxes, she remembered the multi-tailed fox that looked down on people when she first transmigrated here.

"Oh right, I see very few foxes in this village. Especially fox spirits with mixed fur and tails, they're extremely rare."

Aguye and Aguhua were taken aback. "A multi-tailed, mixed-haired fox?"

She immediately corrected him with a smile. "You're talking about Huang Lili, right? It's said that in a distant imperial city, a fox reigns supreme. And supposedly, it's a multi-tailed, mixed-hair fox spirit. Hehe, Tiger Tooth's description is quite interesting. A multi-tailed, mixed-hair fox. Haha..."

Well, it turns out I unintentionally created a new description. Lin Dujuan smiled innocently, indicating that she was also innocent.

"To be honest, Huang Lili is quite a remarkable person. He came here with Sam and eventually settled down. Although that kid is a complete failure and always likes to read Sam's books, and no one can take advantage of him, he is indeed very clever. At least, no one in the village can out-calculate things like math," Aguye said admiringly.

Aguhua pouted.

"Anyway, I don't like Huang Lili. That kid is too bad. He's always hanging around with Huya, eating and drinking with him. More often than not, he even freeloads off Sam's meals. He's so young, yet he's already so lazy and good-for-nothing. Who in the village will marry him in the future..."

The group was talking when suddenly she felt a fuzzy, itchy sensation on her feet…
