Chapter 57: Chapter 57: How to Choose From Five People?

The pelts Mo Xuan had hunted weren’t useless, just a bit too warm to wear right now. They would certainly be warm enough to wear when it got colder.

The fur was glossy and sleek, without a single blemish. It would definitely look good on.

Su Luoluo picked up a rabbit fur and examined it. The moment she tried it against her arm, the corner of her mouth twitched. ’This white fur really makes my dark skin stand out.’

’Still, I can make something with it. Once I slim down and my skin lightens, I’ll be able to wear it in the winter.’

’And these feathers are actually quite pretty too. I remember reading in a book from the Post-apocalypse that ancient people used them to make garments. I could probably make some feather skirts out of them.’

She sorted the hides, setting aside the ones unsuitable for clothing to be made into quilts or blankets.

She picked out a few suitable zebra and leopard-print hides, along with some wolf pelts, and set them aside for Luan Ting to process when he arrived.

For dinner, Su Luoluo made chicken and mushroom stew.

’My period’s here, so it’s time to eat something nourishing.’

When Luan Ting arrived, Su Luoluo handed him the candied hawthorns she had deliberately saved for him.

The other three felt a little uncomfortable watching Su Luoluo give the candied hawthorns to Luan Ting just like that, but the thought of all the beast skins he had to tan instantly made them feel much better.

Compared to tanning beast skins, hunting was, of course, much easier.

The chicken stew was filled with many wild mountain delicacies, and a single bite was both warming and savory.

With the delicious food in front of them, the four men began to eat in silence.

They were already used to eating whatever Su Luoluo made; she never disappointed them.

After they finished eating this time, Su Luoluo didn’t have them wash the dishes. Seeing that everyone was there, she made an announcement: "I’m going to make pottery tomorrow. You all should come early."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye was a little confused. "Didn’t we just make some pottery a few days ago?"

Su Luoluo counted on her fingers. "I still need to make some pots and jars. We don’t have enough."

At that, Xiao Ye said no more and just nodded in agreement.

Fu Feng and Mo Xuan had no objections either.

However, thinking back to their last sleeping experience, both silently resolved, ’This time, I’m definitely bringing my own beast skin blanket.’

Luan Ting heard this and also nodded. "Alright."

Since he was eating here with them, it was only natural that he should help with the work.

Su Luoluo was very satisfied with this.

She had brought it up in front of everyone this time specifically to show Luan Ting that nothing had happened last time, which would clear up any misunderstanding.

After speaking, as if she just remembered something, she added, "Oh, right. Someone else is coming with us tomorrow. They said they want to make pottery too."

Luan Ting looked at her. "Someone from the tribe?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "Yes. Cai Xia and Ah Zhu, and their beastmen."

The three men had no objections after hearing this. They rubbed their full stomachs and left.

Luan Ting, for his part, took all the beast skins Su Luoluo had given him.

...

Luan Ting attracted a lot of attention when he returned to the tribe, carrying dozens of beast skins on his shoulders.

An older female saw him and asked, "Luan Ting, did you hunt all these beast skins to make clothes?"

Luan Ting nodded.

"Then give me one to make clothes! I happen to need one."

Luan Ting looked at her apologetically. "These aren’t mine. They all belong to Su Luoluo."

What!

Su Luoluo needed dozens of beast skins for clothes all by herself!

When this news reached the ears of the tribespeople, they were all extremely shocked.

What they found even stranger was that Luan Ting had been with Su Luoluo and the others all afternoon, leaving him no time to hunt.

Where did Su Luoluo get all these beast skins?

A beastman could hunt two prey animals a day at most. A Fifth-stage Beastman like Luan Ting was a bit stronger than them and could probably hunt about ten.

Moreover, judging by the color of the pelts, they were very fresh. A single glance told them they had been hunted very recently.

He was carrying over thirty of them at once. A curious beastman asked, "Luan Ting, how did you hunt so much prey?"

Luan Ting replied as he walked, "I didn’t hunt these. Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan hunted them together."

As soon as he said this, the females who heard it were so jealous their teeth hurt.

Normally, they considered themselves very lucky to get one or two new beast skins a month.

Su Luoluo had just gotten ten times that amount, not to mention they were hunted for her by such handsome beastmen.

What on earth did she do to make those three treat her so well?

Before, they were skeptical about her having consummated her relationship with several beastmen, but now, it seemed like it might be true.

Su Nuannuan stared at the thick pile of beast skins, her eyes filled with both jealousy and gloom.

’If Su Luoluo hadn’t come back, everything Luan Ting is carrying on his shoulders right now would be mine.’

Luan Ting carried the beast skins all the way to a pool of water and placed them inside. Fresh beast skins had to be soaked for a while to remove the grease.

The moment he set the beast skins down, he felt as if something was staring at him. He glanced back, but no one was there.

He glanced around, and only after confirming no one was there did he leave the beast skin pool.

...

The next day, Su Luoluo headed to the wild kitchen at the crack of dawn, bringing a beast skin blanket and a bamboo water cup.

When she arrived, Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and Luan Ting were already there, their things already packed and slung over their bodies.

After a short wait, Cai Xia and Ah Zhu arrived with their beastmen.

Cai Xia had three beastmen: a gray wolf, a brown wolf, and a white wolf.

Ah Zhu had one less than Cai Xia, with only two beastmen at present. They were also wolf-type beastmen: one Red Wolf and one gray wolf.

They were all the tall, powerful, and imposing type.

Su Luoluo glanced at the two women’s beastmen. They were only going out for a day, but the five wolves were loaded down with so much stuff they looked like they were moving house.

Seeing Su Luoluo, Ah Zhu and Cai Xia excitedly greeted her, "Luoluo, we’re here!"

Su Luoluo wasn’t the type to warm up to people quickly, so she just smiled in response.

Cai Xia said enthusiastically, "These three are my beastmen. They’re all from the same tribe, so I won’t bother with introductions. I called them all over because we have a lot of stuff."

Su Luoluo didn’t really know them, but the residual memories of the original owner told her that the gray wolf was called Da De, the brown wolf was Er De, and the other, the white wolf, was San De.

’Those names... all I can say is, they’re great.’

’Easy to remember, and rather... virtuous.’

’If one was missing, it would be a "lack of virtue." ’

After Cai Xia finished, Ah Zhu added shyly, "I had too much stuff too, so I brought Dadong and Xiao Dong."

’Those names...’

’Oh well. They’re all very... casual.’

The five beastmen nodded a greeting to Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and Luan Ting. The four men gave a slight nod in return.

Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Ye said, "Let’s go."

Su Luoluo looked at a figure in the distance and said, "Wait a minute, there’s one more person."

"Someone else?" Hearing this, the four beastmen looked surprised. As the figure drew closer and came into focus, their expressions became intriguing.

’Why is Nantu here?’

Ah Zhu and Cai Xia, however, didn’t find it strange. After all, they had brought all of their own beastmen, so it was only normal for Su Luoluo to bring all of hers.

The two of them quickly climbed onto the backs of their respective beastmen. Cai Xia looked at Su Luoluo and said, "Alright, Luoluo, hurry up and get on. Let’s go!"

As soon as she said that, five figures simultaneously transformed into their beast forms and stood before Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo stared at the gray wolf, Black Panther, Purple Snake, Dragon Sparrow, and mermaid before her, completely speechless.

’When did they become so eager?’

Seeing her remain motionless, all five beasts stared at her in unison with their uniquely colored eyes.
