Chapter 5 The bad female seems a bit changed_1

While cutting, Si Yan thought desperately, The combat prowess in the Beast World seems different from what I understood. If a single ferocious beast is this strong, then how formidable must those male Beastmen who easily hunt ferocious beasts be? Surviving in the Beast World does not seem easy. After cutting for a long time, the marks of the blade on the White Tiger’s body were completely obliterated. Hungry from not having eaten dinner, Si Yan’s stomach emitted a loud RUMBLE. She gathered dry firewood nearby, took out a lighter to ignite it, skewered the White Tiger meat with sticks, sprinkled some salt, and roasted it. In the darkness, Mu Xiao, who had already flown close, perched on a treetop, watching her. This small, dark little female actually killed a forest ferocious beast! You must know, this is a forest tiger! Even Green Crystal Beastmen might not be able to defeat it. It was unheard of for females to hunt. Could this little female be so powerful? This is truly shocking! Moreover, how did she make fire just now? It seemed like she had a strange little thing; she pressed it, and flames appeared? Mu Xiao drew closer, lowering his head to look at the little female roasting meat. He sniffed. It smells so good! The meat roasted by the little female seems more fragrant than ordinary roasted meat! Si Yan was indeed very hungry. After a full meal, she lazily sat down on the ground. Strange. It seems that since I hunted the White Tiger, there has been less noise in the forest. Suddenly, I remember what my combat squad leader from my previous life used to say: the thing to fear most isn’t noise, but sudden silence. If the air suddenly turns quiet, it’s very likely a high-level, high-intelligence zombie has arrived. No way! Are there even more terrifying ferocious beasts nearby?! A big White Tiger nearly killed me. If an even more powerful one came, I’d definitely be done for! Si Yan lost all interest in processing her prey, the White Tiger. She turned and fled without hesitation. After Si Yan left, Mu Xiao flew down from the tree—FLUTTER, FLUTTER—his sharp beak pecking at the White Tiger, examining the fatal wound. Upon seeing the extremely fine cut, his eagle eyes contracted. In the Beast World, I’ve never seen such a wound cross-section before. Mu Xiao went over to the fire, picked up the roasted meat Si Yan hadn’t finished eating, and GULP, GULP, swallowed it all. Then his eyes lit up. Wow, this is delicious! She’s agile, and her food is delicious. If she weren’t so dirty and ugly, I might have even chosen her as my little female. No, no, she’s too dirty and ugly! I don’t like unsightly things! Si Yan ran for a long time, until the sky was about to lighten, before her surroundings finally started to look familiar. Thankfully, I didn’t get lost to the ends of the earth. Recalling the big White Tiger and the moment of life and death, Si Yan felt a little aggrieved. I was tricked into the forest by those two little rascals. True, the two rascals bore a grudge against my body’s previous owner, but that was her business; it has nothing to do with me! I was even planning to be good to those two rascals, and yet they did this to me. No, I can’t be too nice to those rascals anymore! It’s my first time being a mother too; why should I indulge them! Si Yan, reeking of blood, returned to the cave and saw Xi Qing and Bei Ji huddled together asleep on the cave floor in a corner. Her vexed heart gradually calmed. Those two naughty brats, not even sleeping on the bed? Aren’t they cold sleeping on the ground?! With a belly full of anger, Si Yan said irritably, "Get up!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji had already heard the commotion but were too lazy to pay her any mind. That bad female was completely tricked by us into the forest for the whole night yesterday; she must have been terrified. Now that she’s back, she’ll definitely beat us. Anyway, she often beat us. We’re used to being hit. As long as it doesn’t kill us, what does it matter? Si Yan, in a terrible mood, demanded, "Why aren’t you sleeping on the bed?!" Bei Ji thought he must have misheard. "Bad female, what did you say?" Si Yan repeated, "Why are you sleeping on the ground? Why don’t you sleep in the bed?!" As if he had heard the world’s biggest joke, Xi Qing snorted and sat up. "Bad female, you never let us sleep in the bed. Have you forgotten?!" Si Yan said angrily, "Who told you to keep calling me ’bad female’? I am your birth mother! Call me Mom!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji were both stunned. Xi Qing shouted back, "Are you insane?!" Si Yan got even angrier. "You’re the ones who are insane, leaving your own mother in the forest in the middle of the night! Did you know I encountered a ferocious beast last night? I almost died, do you understand?! You two are really something, always managing to provoke me!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked at each other. Xi Qing said incredulously, "That’s impossible! We left you in the small woods; it’s a safe area. Unless you went the wrong way yourself!" They had only wanted to scare her; they hadn’t intended to put her in danger. Si Yan paused. It seems I did run around blindly, and quite far at that. But so what? Was it right to leave your own mother in a small grove? Anyway, I will absolutely not admit I have no sense of direction! Si Yan said angrily, "So you think you did nothing wrong? I’m covered in injuries from running around all night by myself! I cook and clean for you, and this is how you treat me? Believe it or not, from now on, I’ll only cook for myself!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji had also noticed the small wounds on her body; a large piece of her animal-hide clothing was torn. Bei Ji suddenly felt a pang of guilt. "Bad female, what do you want?" Si Yan said, "Don’t call me ’bad female’ anymore! Call me Mother!" Xi Qing said with disdain, "It was you who wouldn’t let us call you Mother. Have you forgotten?" Si Yan was stunned again. Xi Qing repeated, "It was you who didn’t let us sleep in the bed or call you Mother. Have you forgotten?" Si Yan’s lips twitched. How did this argument turn into me being in the wrong? The messes left by this body’s predecessor are mine to clean up. Damn it. Si Yan was truly exhausted. She sat on the cave floor for a moment before slumping down, too tired to stay upright. Ugh, sleeping on this muddy ground is really uncomfortable. Lying on the ground, Si Yan’s tone calmed. "Starting today, you’ll sleep in the bed with me. Also, you need to apologize to me for last night." Bei Ji asked, "You want us to sleep in the bed with you?" Si Yan said, "The bed is so big. I don’t need that much space by myself. You’ll sleep with me." Xi Qing roared, "I don’t want to sleep with you!" Si Yan was about to sit up in anger. But at that moment, Bei Ji suddenly spoke. "I’m sorry." Xi Qing turned and looked at Bei Ji angrily. Bei Ji lowered his head slightly, his small, childlike face earnest. "I’m sorry. Last night, we only meant to scare you." Xi Qing was furious. "Bei Ji, why are you apologizing to the bad female!" Bei Ji tugged at Xi Qing’s arm. "Let it go, Third Brother." Actually, when we returned to the cave yesterday and saw it had been cleaned, with a fire lit and food prepared, it was the first time I’d ever felt what warmth was. The bad female seemed a little different. I hope she can really change for the better.
