Chapter 76: An Absurd Wet Dream

"Mm, A Li is getting more and more impressive."

Leng Xiu was never stingy with his praise for her, because he knew his female liked hearing it.

The next moment, he indeed saw a brilliant smile appear on Yun Li's face.

Leng Xiu's gaze flickered slightly as he watched her smile. He reached out and rubbed his female's head, asking, "Do you want to keep practicing?"

Yun Li shook her head. "My arms are a bit sore. Let's rest for a while."

Leng Xiu didn't urge her to continue, only saying, "Then find a place to sit down. After I finish collecting the arrows and prey, I'll come back and rub your arms for you."

"Okay!"

Saying so, Yun Li found a place to sit down and rest.

She wasn't worried about danger here, mainly because beastmen frequently moved through this area, so apart from some small non-aggressive wild beasts, the only things left here were non-venomous snakes, ants and insects that were impossible to control, and birds in the trees.

But Yun Li didn't realize that when the surrounding environment posed no danger and only the lone female and solitary male remained, her male was her greatest danger.

Yun Li, whose arm was being kneaded, felt she was once again being seduced by her Beast Husband, but she kept watching Leng Xiu the whole time and didn't notice him doing anything inappropriate.

Unlike Leng Xiao, who yesterday under the guise of giving her a massage, rubbed her arms, then her calves, and finally worked his way up to her shoulders, his breathing constantly beside her ear while his mouth kept endlessly spouting words of praise.

When she covered his mouth and they exchanged a glance afterward, things got a bit heated.

Hiss~

Yun Li's shoulder was pressed heavily, and the sore-yet-pleasurable sensation made her let out a light hiss.

"Uncomfortable? Then I'll press lighter."

Leng Xiu and the others' massage techniques were still taught by Yun Li bit by bit. Back in Yuanbuluo she hadn't been enthusiastic about doing chores, so when it came to providing emotional value, these massage techniques naturally came in handy.

Later it became Leng Xiu and the others giving her massages, and among them, Leng Xiao, who had taken care of her during her pregnancy, had the most skilled technique.

"No need, just keep pressing like this."

Yun Li leaned comfortably against him, and when the male pressed her just right, she would let out a hum or two.

A glint of darkness flashed through Leng Xiu's eyes, and his hands grew even gentler.

He wasn't as thick-skinned as Leng Xiao, to do anything with A Li out in the wild.

He merely made small gestures to please his female, then coaxed her into letting him sleep beside her at night.

That kind of thing he would still do.

However, neither of them probably expected that a male was not far away, listening to the sounds from this direction.

Ji Xuan, to push away that unforgettable image, forced himself to close his eyes and think of other things.

Who knew that shortly after his mind had been cleared, the sound of a female's soft moans reached his ears.

Now things were bad — Ji Xuan couldn't stay put anymore.

He misinterpreted those sounds, so he didn't even dare turn his head, directly leapt down from the tree, and then silently departed.

That night, Ji Xuan did something unprecedented — he had a wet dream. He dreamed of that female with whom he had little interaction, and the events of the day actually appeared vividly before his eyes.

How absurd!

Ji Xuan, upon seeing that female's face clearly, jolted awake from the dream in an instant.

In the latter half of the night, he even appeared beneath a waterfall more than ten kilometers outside the tribe.

As for Yun Li, she slept deeply through the night, completely unaware that a male had used his imagination to have a wet dream about her.

……

The salty soil Mu Qing brought back ultimately failed to produce proper salt. Though it tasted salty when eaten, it still looked like dirt.

"This is salt?"

Leng Xiao, puzzled, reached out and pinched another tiny bit, frowned slightly, and put it in his mouth, then said, "At best it counts as salt dirt."

Though it could be used as salt, bringing something like this before Ji Xuan would clearly have no persuasive power whatsoever.

Yun Li looked disappointedly at the salt dirt in the Stone Pot. "Looks like we can only try finding plants with a salty taste."

"I'm not sure if there's enough time."

Saying so, Leng Xiu looked at Mu Qing. "In a couple of days, take the hard candy and go find Young Master Xuan. Try to find out about their trading situation with Youbuluo."

The wet season was about to pass, and the dry season had just begun. The water level at the places that produced salt ore hadn't gone down yet, so neither the Silver Eagle Tribe nor Youbuluo would rush to seize the salt ore right away.

That time might be exactly when the Silver Eagle Tribe and Youbuluo would conduct their trade, but this point still needed Mu Qing to confirm.

Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded, indicating he understood.

"Since salt can't be made, then let's work on the great bulrush today."

To Yun Li, the great bulrush only looked like the ramie she had seen online before. Whether it could actually extract what she wanted, she was still a bit unsure.

Fortunately, Mu Qing and the others didn't ask too many questions. Whatever she wanted to do, they helped her do it.

It was the process of stripping away the outermost layer of skin that was rather headache-inducing. Even though Yun Li and the others had Bone Knives to help scrape, just peeling this skin alone took nearly a whole day, and they still had to tear it into thin strips.

Yun Li's hands hurt from doing it, and eventually Mu Qing and the others shooed her off to play with the cubs.

After tearing them into thin strips, the next step was to wait for them to dry in the sun.

And this process took a full four days. During this time, Mu Qing went to find Young Master Xuan once and got a very precise answer: the trade between the Silver Eagle Tribe and Youbuluo would take place at Red Grass Valley in the early dry season.

"Red Grass Valley?"

Leng Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Even though he had been with the Silver Eagle Tribe for a relatively short time, he still knew that Red Grass Valley was a place where nearby tribes gathered for centralized trading every dry season and rainy season.

Because their original Pingshan Tribe used to have beastmen come over to trade as well — Leng Xiu and Leng Xiao had both been there twice, and Mu Qing went without saying.

"Why would they trade at Red Grass Valley? Is the Silver Eagle Tribe really not afraid of other tribes finding out they trade females?"

Leng Xiao didn't quite understand what the Silver Eagle Tribe was doing.

After all, trading at Red Grass Valley — even if it wasn't the middle of the dry season, after the Silver Eagle Tribe and Youbuluo seized the salt ore, quite a few tribes would stay at Red Grass Valley with food and other good things.

But that place often had wandering beastmen around. They roamed everywhere, were well-informed, and could easily spread news among various tribes.

Wasn't the Silver Eagle Tribe afraid of wandering beastmen seeing their trade with Youbuluo and then broadcasting it to everyone?

Moreover, it is even more crucial whether Youbuluo might secretly spread news of this deal so that beastfolk of other tribes lower their favor toward the Silver Eagle Tribe.

Yun Li: "Perhaps on the surface they won't directly push out a few females saying they will be sent away, but behind the scenes they could completely mislead the females into Youbuluo's territory.

They could also smear Youbuluo with dirty water for stealing females from other tribes."

Hearing that they could still scheme like that, Leng Xiao's eye corner twitched involuntarily.

They glanced at their own female; A Li seemed a bit too clever, but if she thinks so poorly of the Silver Eagle Tribe, does she perhaps not like the tribe much in her heart?

Mu Qing and Leng Xiu hadn't expected Yun Li to react so quickly, but thinking over what she said, it didn't seem without reason.

Even if they know about the trade between the Silver Eagle Tribe and Youbuluo, those females who have just arrived at the Silver Eagle Tribe and hear that Red Grass Valley lets them see things they normally never see—can they really hold back and not go?
