Chapter 2: 002 Monsters of Wang Gu Lin (II)

"Today really won't do." Wang Wu resisted Shu Niang, pushed her aside, broke free of her restraint, and sat up from the bed.

While holding up his pants, Wang Wu said, "I really have something to do today, and besides, it hasn't been even a few days—why are you in such a hurry?"

"You just came out from Zhu San Niang's place yesterday!" Shu Niang, who had been shoved away, was obviously dissatisfied; she furrowed her brows and said to Wang Wu, "How come Zhu San Niang and Wu Er Niang can go every day, but I can't come every day?"

"No, uh, no..."

For a moment, facing Shu Niang's words, Wang Wu didn't know what to say. After all, the other side's point... really had no fault.

Wang Wu was indeed very grateful to Shu Niang, no doubt about it. When he first arrived in this world, he thought his fellow countrymen should be the people in the human villages outside Wang Gu Lin, not these few monsters inside Wang Gu Lin.

So he went there, because the place where he landed after crossing over happened to be not far from that human village, about one or two kilometers away.

Then he nearly died there; if it weren't for Shu Niang suddenly appearing and rescuing him from the hands of the village's demon extermination squad, his survival time in this world would probably have been only two hours.

Rather than now, when it's close to half a year.

Moreover, Shu Niang didn't just save his life. The house he lives in now should be called a cave; the place he lives now was also found for him by Shu Niang.

Furthermore, Shu Niang treats him especially well; she basically shares anything she has with him. Like today, when she caught a wild rabbit in her hunt, she immediately gave him one without a word.

Wang Wu likes Shu Niang very much and is also very grateful to her.

Of course, Wu Er Niang and Zhu San Niang are also very good; they treat Wang Wu well too, and they likewise share whatever they have with him.

Furthermore, they are much older than Shu Niang and know more about this world than she does, including some things about the human world.

Toward them, Wang Wu is just as deeply grateful.

However, since Shu Niang's favor is a life-saving debt, her position in Wang Wu's heart still weighs a bit more than that of Zhu San Niang and Wu Er Niang.

Shu Niang is a rather young monster; her true form is a yellow weasel, and she is only over seventy years old this year.

As for her exact age, she herself doesn't really remember, but in any case it's been less than ten years since she took human form.

As for Wu Er Niang and Zhu San Niang, these two are both monsters over two hundred years old—mature, gorgeous, and gentle... ahem.

Seeing Shu Niang sitting on his bed with her arms crossed, sulking, Wang Wu also felt a bit guilty.

But guilt can't be turned into desire; after thinking it over, Wang Wu still made up his mind.

And there's no shortage of this time, to be frank.

"Let's go take a bath first."

Walking up to Shu Niang, Wang Wu sat down, put his arm around her, and spoke softly.

"Eh? All right!"

In an instant, the gloom on Shu Niang's face vanished; she beamed, threw her arms around Wang Wu, and fiercely nibbled his face several times.

A newly transformed monster is like that—no experience, let alone skill, but full of vigor and brimming with wildness.

Time fast-forwards to two hours later.

Wang Wu got up at seven-thirty in the morning, finished breakfast, and started work; it was about eight o'clock then.

Then Shu Niang came over to bring him a wild rabbit around eight-thirty; afterward he worked for one hour plus two hours, totaling three hours.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to eleven-thirty noon, already near lunchtime.

Today's lunch was the wild rabbit Shu Niang brought; wild rabbit isn't actually a very good food—it has little fat—but if you don't eat only that, it's not a problem.

Monsters' society isn't as developed as humans'; you can tell just by looking at what Shu Niang usually wears.

And Wang Wu still wears the clothes he had before crossing over, which are already falling apart; after all, in the wild, different civilizations, bumps and scrapes are inevitable.

After coming to this world through crossing over, Wang Wu also feels that his body is quite different from what it was before the crossing.

For example, in terms of physical condition, the clothes he wears are still the summer attire from his hometown back home: a pair of shorts, a pair of sports shoes, plus a T-shirt.

The T-shirt is already ragged, with many holes, but Wang Wu doesn't mind. The shorts and shoes are still okay, especially the shoes, which are of decent quality and still in decent condition.

Now it's nearing late autumn, and the temperature inside Wang Gu Lin is naturally much lower than outside—usually just a few degrees to low teens, even failing to reach twenty degrees.

Yet wearing such clothes, Wang Wu doesn't feel the slightest chill in his daily life. Moreover, his physical strength is stronger than in his previous life—and not just by a little.

After all, fighting at high intensity for two hours is truly high intensity, with no watering down.

Even if placed in his previous life, even the person with the best physical fitness in the world couldn't achieve this.

But here, he can do it easily.

His body has changed after crossing over into this world, and Wang Wu is aware of that.

This is also one reason he can quickly accept his monster identity, after all,

—even the people here couldn't possibly run around Wang Gu Lin dressed so lightly in this season.

Outside Wang Wu's cave, Wang Wu and Shu Niang sat side by side on the ground; at this moment both of their faces showed a refreshed expression, each holding a stick threaded with rabbit meat, roasting the meat over the fire while chatting.

Monsters' desires are very strong; basically they need to do that once or twice, two or three times a day, which is quite normal.

As for Wang Wu's frequency, he basically does it once or twice a day, occasionally three or four times, which is practically the very definition of a monster.

"You said earlier you had a way—what is it?" While the meat was roasting, Shu Niang leaned her body against him and asked.

"Could it be that you want to go outside and catch some people to make winter provisions?"

When she said that, Shu Niang's expression suddenly turned serious; she looked at Wang Wu and said:

"This absolutely must not be done, Wu Lang!"

Then she paused and continued: "We're just little monsters, and the local officials aren't the type to ignore things. If we provoke the people downhill, if they're just passing merchants from elsewhere, that would be fine, but if you go and grab people from the lower village to eat, then when the time comes our place will surely be trampled flat by humanity! By then we won't even be able to survive!"

"As Second Sister said, there used to be a few monsters around here—for example, Hu San Lang who lives in your cave, and Lang Si Niang in the western woods, plus some other monsters."
