Chapter 201: Mountain Planting Point

Lin Manzhi happily walked toward the bronze lion control center in front of the house and said, "I have plenty of coins now; I'll go to the Mall to buy a mountain mechanical farming vehicle, and I'll put you on it and drive over, no need to walk."

Mo Lie: "......"

What mechanical farming vehicle.

With me around, do you need anyone else?

He reached out and grabbed the retreating Lin Manzhi, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "No need, have you forgotten the Beast Form that your Beast Husband and I have? I'll take you directly, faster than any mechanical farming vehicle."

Lin Manzhi's eyes lit up: "Alright!"

Heaven knows how alluring the Beast Form of the male beast here is to her; she loves it immensely, though she never shows it.

After all, when she rode on a giant beast's back before, it wasn't her own fluffy fur but a 1.9‑meter‑tall strong man; she wouldn't dare to touch or stare around recklessly.

She had always wanted to see the massive ferocious black panther again; back then she told Mo Lie to agree to a condition—so that he would assume his Beast Form, and then let her fondle him to her heart's content.

Now, she hasn't even mentioned that condition, yet Mo Lie voluntarily offered to become a big panther and carry her.

Oh my—this is just too exciting for her.

Under Lin Manzhi's eager gaze, Mo Lie walked toward the nearby verdant lawn.

Beast Transformation is an instinct etched into Beastfolk's very DNA; compared to human forms, they even prefer powerful Beast Forms and are naturally more suited to them.

Swish—

A gust of wind rose suddenly; where the handsome man had stood, in the next second a ferocious giant panther took his place.

Its black fur was smooth, shimmering with fine specks of light; its massive body, dark as night, seemed capable of covering the whole sky, a cold yet beautiful cruel creature, like an incarnation of the legendary divine beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

He lowered his head, his blue beast eyes gazing down at the tiny human before him; in those emotionless, murderous eyes reflected Lin Manzhi's small figure.

Seeing the giant panther again, Lin Manzhi's eyes were full of awe, "Wow! You look so cool~"

Saying that, she rushed toward the massive black panther, grabbed its black paw that felt to her like a palace column, and unabashedly patted it with both hands.

The panther's fur was smoother than silk, the short hair clinging tightly to its body, and one could feel the robust muscles of a felid beneath.

Lin Manzhi ran her hands along the fur, stroking each of the panther's front paws one by one; they were warm, and the claws hidden in the pads glimmered with a forest‑cold sheen like a sharpened blade.

Mo Lie's overwhelming, fear‑inducing aura was completely reined in, allowing the Little Female to do as she pleased on his body, even letting her lie down on the grass, making it easier for her to act.

Again, again.

The Little Female's obsessive fascination with his Beast Form gave Mo Lie immense pleasure.

His head lazily rested on his own forelimb, without reminding the Little Female to hurry and check the mountain area.

When Lin Manzhi came to her senses, half an hour had already passed.

She curled up in the middle of the giant panther's front paws, her back against its fluffy chest, a happy smile tugging at her mouth, and suddenly struggled to sit up: "Ah… we need to go over there!"

Mo Lie, still holding the Little Female, ended the leisurely moment: "......"

He gave a slight nod, looked at the Little Female lying on his chest, moved with a hint of regret, and gently hooked Lin Manzhi with his tail, carefully placing her onto his back.

Once she was settled, he rose and sprinted toward the green hills ahead; Mo Lie was fast, but he deliberately slowed his pace to keep Lin Manzhi comfortable on his back.

Six minutes later.

Riding the black panther, Lin Manzhi crossed the vast meadow and arrived beneath the green hills.

She looked up and realized the mountain was huge, at least six hundred meters high; the slopes were planted with common pines, tall trees forming a forest, leaving almost no open ground.

Then Mo Lie led her up the mountain for a patrol.

All the while riding on the panther's back, looking around, Lin Manzhi's plan gradually took shape in her mind.

A meadow this large left empty isn't good just for wind and light; she currently has no animals to raise, but the meadow could not only host cattle, horses, and sheep, but also produce pasture.

She thought of buying a few puppet mechanical farming tools from the Mall to plant and harvest pasture on schedule.

She knew that everything produced in her space would be of great benefit to the Beastfolk on the Beast Continent.

With the golden finger she possessed from the original work, pasture is also an excellent food resource; Kuangsha City has many Beastfolk bloodline races who, besides meat, also need vegetables.

Female beasts don't eat pasture, but some male beasts do enjoy it; moreover, beyond Kuangsha City's market, the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent among the six continents is a lordly city built upon grasslands.

Sure, sell them to them.

Seated on the panther's back, Lin Manzhi accessed the Mall with her mind, browsing the mountain‑forest planting seeds, and said, "So this mountain is for growing medicinal herbs! There are yellow circular planting markers; the whole mountain has three hundred planting spots, and the growth rate is accelerated—outside one day equals a month here."

Mo Lie: "Do you want to transplant Concentrated Spirit Dew here?"

Lin Manzhi thought for a moment: "No, it's too slow. My Spiritual Field can cover ten thousand days in a single day."

Mo Lie: "Hmm."

Lin Manzhi flipped through the seed pages, studying the descriptions carefully: "You say the things here are especially beneficial to you; then these herbs should be more effective than vegetables and fruits, right?"

The Mall's herb seeds are few: ginseng, Eucommia bark, gastrodia, Cuan Qiong, Notoginseng, vine lily.

She isn't trained in Chinese medicine, so she's not fully clear on the herbs' effects, but after reading the seed introductions, she found they all focus on regulating nerves and blood.

Thinking of the Beastfolk's unique Spirit Core and how male beasts benefit from eating vegetables and fruits, Lin Manzhi felt the herbs in her space might also relate to the Spirit Core.

Perhaps among them lies a herb that could replace the thousand‑year Concentrated Spirit Dew and the thousand‑year Cuan Divine Core.

After all, the herbs she saw don't require a millennium to mature; for example, ginseng is useful after three to five years, and even those over a hundred years can be used.

Lin Manzhi immediately decided to plant all six herbs from the Mall, and she recounted the six herbs to Mo Lie.

Mo Lie was no longer surprised by the miraculous herbs the Little Female presented.

He nodded calmly: "Alright."

Feeling that she and Mo Lie had agreed, Lin Manzhi promptly purchased the mountain planting machines, which began sowing the six herbs at the planting spots—three hundred spots in total, fifty plants of each herb.

She eagerly anticipated the herbs reaching harvestable maturity, so she could give them to Huang Cai to test alchemical preparation, wondering what effects they would have.

Anticipation.
