Chapter 32: Scary, Very Scary

“Have some more soup, Chang Xia.”

Chen Rong smiled and got up to scoop soup for Chang Xia.

He smiled at the teasing of Nan Feng and the others. Chang Xia would help Chen Rong nourish his body every night. Chen Rong’s broken body was slowly repaired by Chang Xia.

Recently, Chen Rong felt that his body was getting better day by day. Even though the insect poison in his body had not been removed, the change in his mentality made Chen Rong’s spirit rise.

Chang Xia took the bowl and whispered, “I really can’t drink anymore.”

“It’s fine. Drink slowly.” Chen Rong rubbed the top of her head. The yams were good for health. Chang Xia had said that.

Recently, the tribe had been eating yams together.

Needless to say, the effect was pretty obvious.

Every time Nan Feng came from the tribe, she would bring the gratitude of the elders.

“Chen Rong, I want soup.” Ya Dong winked and lowered his voice to whine to Chen Rong. At the same time, he leaned against Chen Rong.

Chang Xia felt her eyes burning.

“Blargh!” Nan Feng retched in disgust.

Shan Kun was busy putting food into Nuan Chun’s bowl and did not dare to look. The swelling on his calf had not subsided since he came to Chang Xia’s place.

He had a mother leopard at home.

“Ya Dong—” Chen Rong smiled and slowly pushed the mischievous Ya Dong away. He called his name softly, his smile gentle and refined.

Ya Dong met Chen Rong’s half-smile and could not help but shiver. He swallowed with difficulty and felt his legs go weak. Chen Rong was so scary that he wanted to kneel. Hence, he quickly revealed a fawning smile and immediately straightened his back.

Seeing this, Shan Kun moved to the side.

He felt a little close to Chen Rong and was a little unsafe.

In terms of physique, Chen Rong was thinner than Ya Dong and Shan Kun.

However, they met Chen Rong’s gaze.

For no reason, they felt weak.

Chen Rong had an indescribable aura.

Sensing Shan Kun’s small gesture, Chen Rong turned to look at him. He smiled more gently, impressed by the steady Shan Kun.

Boom boom boom.

Shan Kun’s heart raced. He quickly turned around and grabbed Nuan Chun’s hand.

Damn, Chen Rong was even scarier like this.

Be well, Ya Dong. I cannot save my brother.

At this moment, Shan Kun did not even have the courage to look Chen Rong in the eye.

Chen Rong held his forehead and froze.

His mind filled with question marks. Was his smile scary?

“After the meal, take the measurements of the doors and windows. Make the most of the time you have to build the house cave and get Shan Kun family house cave’s ready before the rainy season.”

Chen Rong gathered his thoughts and his deep and steady voice sounded.

Ever since Chen Rong appeared, Chang Xia had begun to let herself go.

Chen Rong lived up to expectations. Anything could become very smooth in his hands.

“What about me?” Nan Feng said nervously.

There was the sound of wind. The tribesmen began to cut wood.

It looked as if they were preparing wood. This situation was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. They must be preparing for the construction of the house cave. Nan Feng and the others were busy on Chang Xia’s side and could not spare time to cut wood, let alone collect stone.

Chang Xia patted Nan Feng’s shoulder and said calmly, “Don’t worry, listen to Chen Rong’s arrangements. Shan Kun’s family will have a three-hole house cave soon.”

“I want to be in the house cave before the rainy season, too.” Nan Feng was looking forward to it.

“Don’t worry, we’ll make it,” Chen Rong said. “We won’t be able to use all the wood and stone you and your people sent us. I plan to make all the wood into doors and windows. When you build a house cave, you’ll build it according to the size of your house cave hole. That will save most of the time.”

After hearing this, Chang Xia gave Chen Rong a thumbs up.

Oh—

Chen Rong had even mastered the profound meaning of the assembly line.

The beast race was the strongest!

When Nan Feng and Nuan Chun heard this, they were immediately excited.

They hurriedly thanked Chen Rong and saved the time needed to make the doors and windows. Didn’t that mean that when the Chang Xia’s klins were built, they would directly close the door and mud walls, and directly install the windows which was equivalent to directly moving in?

“Good God,” Nan Feng and the others exclaimed.

Immediately, she wolfed down the food.

She ran off to make doors and windows. It was a matter of whether they could get the installations in the cave as soon as possible. They were anxious and excited.

On this side, Chen Rong brought Ya Dong and Shan Kun to make doors and windows.

Chang Xia led Nan Feng to the cave to build a house cave. Chang Xia planned to slowly expand and modify the cave that appeared behind the wall after they lived here. The cave was connected to the upper reaches of the White Lake, which was equivalent to opening a convenient back door. Chang Xia still wanted to explore the upper reaches of the White Lake.

Several cooking stoves were stacked in the open space in front of the house cave. Stone pots were propped on the stoves.

These stone pots were used to melt resin.

Chang Xia used stone to build house caves. Resin was a sticky substance that could not be lacking.

The house cave was attached to the wall and the stove, and Chang Xia didn’t want to be sloppy about it. There were too many holes, and Chang Xia didn’t plan to build house caves in every house cave hole. That would be too much trouble. After all, there were a lot of problems to consider with the house cave wall and the house cave structure, especially the problem of ventilation.

There were two house caves connected to each other on the right side of the front. One of the three-hole house caves on the right side was reserved for storage, and two of the house caves were built. One of the two rooms was for Bai Qing, and the room Chang Xia had prepared for the shaman was the first one on the left near the lobby.

There were no plans for the next two rooms for the time being. The leftmost one was connected to the cave/cellar, so it was naturally used to store things. The one facing the shaman was left for the shaman to use.

The left side was shaded, and Chang Xia had no intention of using it.

This required detailed calculation.

Chang Xia’s house cave had many rooms.

“Chang Xia, how many cubs do you plan to have after building so many holes?” Nuan Chun held her stomach and sat beside Chang Xia to pass her a stone.

Outside, the Nan Feng was burning resin.

She waited for the resin to melt before adding anything else to the mix.

In the end, it would become a suitable sticky compound. The concoction of resin was a secret technique unique to the beasts. The birds had exchanged things with the beasts to get it before.

Chang Xia blushed and stiffened slightly.

“We’re planning to wait for a few years. No baby beasts for now.”

Beast children were soft and fluffy.

They were fun, but too much trouble.

At the moment, Chang Xia was not ready. After all, she and Chen Rong were still in the stage of working together.

They would just wait.

“A few years later. That’s fine. You and Chen Rong haven’t recovered yet. It’s harmful to have cubs.”

Nuan Chun thought for a moment, then nodded, echoing Chang Xia’s choice.

Chang Xia turned around and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Fortunately, she had succeeded in fooling her.

Urging someone to marry and give birth…

These were simply the two most terrible problems in a historical society.

“Chang Xia, is the stove in the house cave or outside?” Nan Feng asked, leaning over with the mixed resin.

Chang Xia pointed to where the circle was drawn and said, “One inside and outside the cave. But let me do it. I want a stove that is different from the tribe’s.”

The stove had to be connected to the off-ramp, and it also had a cooking function.

Naturally, it was different from an ordinary stove.

Thus, Nan Feng took over Chang Xia’s task of building the house cave. The house cave stove was different from ordinary stoves. Chang Xia had experimented many times in the beast lair and Chen Rong and had tested the most suitable one. Only then did he dare to build one in the house cave cave.

“You’re amazing, Chang Xia!”

Nuan Chun could not help but sigh whether it was food or the house cave.

None of this had ever occurred to them.

However, these became very simple in Chang Xia’s hands.

When they were young, they were all jealous of Chang Xia. There were so many beast children in the tribe and even the beast race, but Chang Xia was the only one favored by the shaman. How could her peers not be jealous?

However, this jealousy would disappear every time they saw Chang Xia lying in the beast lair with a pale face.

Chang Xia shrugged. “If you’d been lying bored in a beast’s lair for a dozen years, you’d be just as paranoid.”

Chang Xia chuckled and changed the subject.

Her affairs could not withstand scrutiny. However, whether it was the shaman or the Heluo Tribe, they deliberately or unintentionally covered up for Chang Xia, which further fueled her arrogance.

Therefore, she was very fortunate to actually come to the Twilight Forest and become a member of the Heluo Tribe.
