Chapter 175: Dealing With Wild Beasts Is Still More Enjoyable
“We are husband and wife, we sleep in the same bed every day, how could I not know about the changes in my husband’s body? Many times, I could feel that my husband desired me, and desired me desperately. I naturally prepared myself to give myself to you.
But you, every time, forced yourself to stop. At first, I would still be sad. Until one night, my husband inexplicably had a nightmare, and your left arm immediately turned into a beast’s arm. Although it was only for a moment, I still saw it…”
Yun Ce looked at E Ji and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’m a beast spirit?”
E Ji smiled and said, “What does a Great Han saying go, ‘Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog; marry a wild boar, run around the mountains.’
Since meeting my husband, my days have been like soaking in honey water. If this is my fate, I accept it.”
Yun Ce exerted a little force, and his left arm immediately transformed into a dragon claw. E Ji hugged the ferocious and terrifying arm and said, “I didn’t let anyone in, my husband can show his full appearance.”
Yun Ce said dejectedly, “This is my full appearance. Don’t worry, I am human, not a beast. My arm has become like this for a reason, it’s related to dragons.”
E Ji took out a handkerchief and wiped Yun Ce’s dragon arm, which had a metallic sheen, and said, “It’s very imposing.”
Yun Ce smacked his lips and said, “If we consummate our marriage and you get pregnant, what if you give birth to an egg?”
E Ji grinned and said, “I’ll hide in the room and hatch the egg. When the egg hatches, we’ll have a son.”
Yun Ce retracted his dragon arm and looked at E Ji speechlessly, “You really aren’t picky.”
Because his transformation direction was a dragon, Yun Ce hadn’t considered the issue of reproductive barriers, because dragons never pick their mating partners. Even with a toad, they could give birth to a Pulao. Yun Ce felt that being with E Ji to have children was not a problem. As for what they would give birth to, that was debatable.
“Let’s talk about having children later. I’m trying to find a way to remove this dragon arm. By then, I’ll have as many children with you as you want.”
“Why remove it? This arm looks very imposing. It must have helped my husband a lot on the battlefield. On such a dangerous battlefield, having this arm gives my husband an extra layer of protection.
As for children, they will be whatever they are when their parents give birth to them. Who gives you the room to be picky?”
Seeing E Ji pounce again and hug Yun Ce’s arm, the red date horse’s coat had long since dried. It snorted and left, after all, even a horse couldn’t bear to watch E Ji in her current amorous state.
That night, Yun Ce changed three places to sleep, and E Ji chased him through three rooms…
The snow had just cleared.
Yun Ce greeted E Ji and, mounted on the excited red date horse, plunged into the wasteland. Yesterday, a warrior from the Yun Clan Villa informed Yun Ce that a fierce beast had appeared about eighty li from the villa. Today, he was going to eliminate this scourge.
The fierce beast was as fast as the wind. Although Yun Ce’s running speed was not slow, it was still significantly slower compared to the fierce beast. Today, he needed the red date horse to help him stop the fierce beast so that he could deliver the final blow.
Where there were fierce beasts, all the dog skins, abandoned beasts, or other wild beasts would flee. However, the herbivores were not particularly alarmed and leisurely grazed on the wild grass on the grassland.
A huge fierce beast emerged from a forest. It first hunched its body, stretched its mouth in a yawn, and then strolled among a herd of herbivores, looking around. Finally, it chose a sunflower deer of suitable size, bit its neck, and then happily fed on the ground.
The other herbivores did not run away. They continued to do what they were doing. Yun Ce even saw a pair of short-horned sheep mating through his telescope.
Although there were fierce beasts here, the lives of the herbivores seemed to be better. Being able to mate in this environment was enough to show that the fierce beasts were not hunting, but these herbivores were willing to be eaten.
The reason is simple. On a small scale, it’s like a fisherman fishing. Who knows if he can catch a fish? Anyway, the bait food cannot be less. In the final analysis, the existence of fishermen is actually beneficial to the fish population. The fish he catches are negligible, but the bait he provides truly fattens up more fish.
On a larger scale, the existence of fierce beasts has reduced the numerous natural enemies of herbivores to only fierce beasts. By sacrificing one herbivore every day to feed the fierce beast, the remaining herbivores can live and reproduce peacefully. The losses they suffer are far less than being besieged by dog skins, abandoned beasts, and other natural enemies.
Speaking of which, doesn’t this resemble the way a country manages its people?
The fierce beast wastes absolutely nothing when it eats. When it eats, it usually starts with the internal organs. It prefers the contents of the sunflower deer’s stomach and intestines, which is important for it to supplement various vitamins. After eating the internal organs, the fierce beast then begins to eat the soft belly with more meat.
After taking two bites, it raised its head and saw a bipedal creature approaching. Thinking it was not a big problem, it continued to gnaw on the sunflower deer’s belly. It had eaten bipedal creatures before, and they tasted bad, especially the contents of their intestines and stomachs. Only the low-class dog skins liked them.
Yun Ce knew that it was rude to disturb someone while they were eating, so he sat quietly on the side, took out a grass cake, and broke off pieces to eat.
Originally, he had come to kill this fierce beast. Seeing that it had no intention of eating humans, he no longer had the idea of killing the fierce beast. After all, with this creature around, there were no other beasts within a radius of thirty to forty li.
Now, he just wanted to subdue this beast, make it have a psychological shadow regarding the existence of humans, and then obediently eat the herbivores it protected, without having any strange ideas about humans.
After the fierce beast finally finished eating and was still rubbing its mouth on the sunflower deer’s hide, it stood up and roared at Yun Ce.
“┗|｀O′|┛ Awooo~~”
This was a naked challenge. The fierce beast pounced, preparing to knock Yun Ce down and bite him to death as a warning.
A fierce beast weighs a ton. This pounce had the force of ten thousand jun. Yun Ce grabbed the fierce beast’s huge claws with both hands and then headbutted its chin. The fierce beast was stunned by the impact, and then Yun Ce used the leverage of its claws to flip it to the ground.
With a rumbling sound, the fierce beast’s massive body hit the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble. However, the fierce beast was indeed the king of beasts. As soon as it landed, its body sprang up. Before its body could turn over, a claw as large as a washbasin, carrying the sound of wind, grabbed down at Yun Ce’s head. If he were caught, Yun Ce’s head would be smashed into a pulp like a watermelon.
Yun Ce raised his left arm, and the arm immediately transformed into a dragon claw, colliding with the fierce beast’s claw. The force was powerful, and the fierce beast’s two thick, sharp claws were instantly broken. At the same time, the claw once again fell into Yun Ce’s grasp, and he used the leverage again to slam the fierce beast to the ground.
The ground trembled continuously. The herbivores all raised their heads, looking at the battle in terror. It was only when Yun Ce was riding on the fierce beast’s neck, his fists raining down on its stomach, that the herbivores lowered their heads again and continued to graze.
When Yun Ce dismounted from the fierce beast, panting, the ferocious beast was lying on its back on the ground, its body trembling like leaves in the autumn wind.
Yun Ce looked at the fierce beast. Seeing the ferocity still in its eyes, he raised his fist and randomly hammered its nose, eyes, ears, and face.
He stopped only when the fierce beast’s head began to swell.
Yun Ce went to the stream and washed his hands in the bone-chilling cold water. He took out another grass cake and continued to nibble on it, saying as he ate, “From now on, if you see humans, run far away. If you kill someone, you won’t survive either.”
After Yun Ce finished eating the grass cake, he called for the red date horse to carry him to find the next fierce beast.
Although he was not sure if the fierce beast could understand him, he firmly believed that the king of beasts, which had already begun to survive by using its intelligence, should understand that it should not eat humans.
In the evening, Yun Ce returned to the Yun Clan Villa, exhausted. He happened to see Qin Shu and the others returning from hunting. They looked very happy. The horse-drawn carriage behind them was piled high with mountain sheep. The only pity was that these people were wasteful; they had discarded the internal organs of the mountain sheep, depriving Yun Ce of delicious sheep offal.
The group of women led by E Ji had returned even earlier. It seemed their harvest was also good. The grain they gathered from the wasteland was drying on the ground.
“We dug out more than ten rabbit burrows, extracted thousands of jin of grain, and caught sixty-eight rabbits. Each one was fat and strong. We’ll stew them for my husband tonight.”
E Ji said proudly.
“From now on, you can go to the fierce beasts’ territory to gather grain. I saw there is a lot of food there, especially on the trees, there are also many delicious tree seeds.”
“Did my husband make an agreement with the fierce beast?”
“Yes, we agreed. It also said that from now on, all the grain there belongs to you. If you can catch those herbivores, the herbivores will also belong to you.”
Yun Ce felt that after being beaten so severely, the fierce beast would probably stay away from the Yun Clan Villa and would not continue to guard that place.
After it left, the vacant territory would easily be occupied by dog skins, abandoned beasts, and creatures like wild boars and bears. However, for now, it should be a transitional period, which would be beneficial for E Ji and the others’ gathering party.
Within one day, he had fought three battles with three fierce beasts using his brute strength. Even the immensely strong Yun Ce felt exhausted. After bathing and eating a small portion of his own food, he went to sleep.
When Zhang Min returned from Jingkou Pass, she found E Ji flushed and nestled in Yun Ce’s arms, sleeping. She immediately pulled the quilt off.
Then, she let out a scream similar to that of a marmot.
