After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

Food is the bedrock of survival and progress. Lu Ming’s ability was like a giant, walking granary!

And for her...

Aside from handsome Beast Husbands and adorable cubs, the most important thing in life was food!

Food, food, food! She had to eat good food, delicious food, all kinds of food!

Now that she had Lu Ming, she could eat a rich and varied diet, even in the Beast World!

If she stayed in the Beast World, she could have Lu Ming and her seven adorable cubs farm with her, and then have her Little White use the ingredients to create new recipes...

’Wow! Just thinking about it makes me so happy.’

Speaking of which, she suddenly missed Little White.

’I wonder how Hu Bai, Fox Qi, Lanxing, Little Fu, Chi Xiao, Huo Jun, She Yang’er, and my little pet, Little Lao Liu, are doing.’

’Sigh, I’m suddenly homesick... for my home in the Beast World.’

Nan Zishi pushed aside her longing and said, ”Lu Ming, let’s harvest the ripe crops now.”

Lu Ming looked wistful for a moment. ”Sui Sui, what were you just thinking about?”

”I was thinking about home,” Nan Zishi told him. ”Lu Ming, the little cubs back home are all really sweet. Once you meet them, I’m sure you’ll become good friends.”

Lu Ming lowered his gaze. ”I’m not very likable. They probably won’t like me.”

”How could they not?”

”Hardly anyone in the entire mining area likes me. The few cubs here don’t like me either,” Lu Ming said. ”When I meet them, if they don’t like me, please don’t interfere.”

Nan Zishi patted his head. ”Why would you think that? Don’t worry, the cubs will definitely like you.”

Lu Ming changed the subject. ”Should we plant anything else?”

”Is there anything you’d like to plant?”

”Watermelons. They’re delicious,” the little deer cub said with a sweet smile.

After that juicy bite of watermelon, Lu Ming had fallen in love with it. He wanted to eat big watermelons every day!

Nan Zishi patted his little head.

”Then let’s plant watermelons. We already have more than enough food, so we don’t need to plant anything else for now.”

Time wasn’t static in her two-hundred-square-meter space.

It was a bit like a large refrigerator, with a temperature of around 6-8 degrees Celsius. Food spoiled more slowly than it did outside, but after a long time, even the frozen meat would thaw and rot.

She’d already had to throw a lot of things away.

So, to keep things fresh, there was no need to plant too many crops.

Lu Ming took the seeds from the watermelon he and Nan Zishi had eaten and planted them directly. ”Actually,” he said, ”seeds from the other crops have already scattered around. They’ll grow into new plants on their own. We won’t need to deliberately sow seeds in the future.”

Nan Zishi sighed wistfully. ”Yes. Nature has always been generous.”

As they left the valley, Nan Zishi called out, ”Lang Ce, come carry this stuff!”

The large gray wolf strode over and took a pile of fruits and vegetables from Nan Zishi’s hands.

”Lang Ce, is that the only Beast Skin Skirt you have? It’s so hot in the mining area, and that one is too large and stuffy,” Nan Zishi said, eyeing the skirt that concealed his body so thoroughly.

Wolf Day adjusted his heavy Beast Skin Skirt. His body was covered in scars, big and small. ’If she saw them, she’d definitely be frightened.’

”Yes. Just this one,” Wolf Day replied.

Nan Zishi looked him up and down a few times, then remembered she had some Beast Skins in her space. ”When we get back,” she said, ”I’ll give you a Beast Skin. You can make yourself a shorter, more breathable Beast Skin Skirt.”

”Thank you, Master.”

After returning to the cave, Nan Zishi took out a Beast Skin that would be suitable for Wolf Day.

The male gray wolf took the Beast Skin from her hand, cherishing it as he put it away.

Xuan Jin returned just in time to see this, and he felt that something wasn’t quite right.

His sharp, serpentine eyes studied Wolf Day for a long moment.

’The little female is all about looks; she likes handsome males. This one’s face is covered in sores. He’s ugly.’

’In that respect, this gray wolf is no competition.’

’Besides, he already has a female master.’

’Am I just being too possessive? To feel threatened by a male who poses no threat at all...’

As Xuan Jin brushed past Wolf Day, he warned in a low voice, ”Lang Ce, don’t forget you’re a male with a female master. Don’t go seducing someone else’s.”

Wolf Day lowered his head and replied, ”Thank you for the reminder. I’ll remember.”

With that, Wolf Day strode out of the main cave and back to the smaller one next to it.

The small, empty cave now contained one new item: a complete Beast Skin.

Wolf Day sat in the cave, staring at the pristine Beast Skin.

It was the first gift he had ever received from her.

His heart felt as light as if it were flying.

But it didn’t stay airborne for long before crashing back to earth.

’Can I still love her?’

’If she knew I was Wolf Day, would she still have given me this Beast Skin?’

Torn by anxiety, Wolf Day carefully folded the entire Beast Skin and hid it under a rock.

...

Xuan Jin had dug up a good number of Beast Crystal Stones and Blood Stones. He handed them to Nan Zishi, who placed both types of stones into her space.

Interestingly enough, ever since getting that first Blood Stone and putting it in her space, Nan Zishi had felt like a spirit that had absorbed life essence—invigorated and full of energy.

She started missing Hu Bai and the others again.

’This mining area is no fun.’

’I’ll look for Li Yun for two more days. If I can’t find her, I’m done looking. I want to break out of here and go home.’

...

On the outskirts of the mining area, Hu Bai, along with Fox Qi and Little Lao Liu, finally met up with Chi Xiao and the others.

Little Fox Qi ran toward the other cubs. ”Big Brother! Yang’er! Fufu!”

”Aqi!” The four adorable little cubs hugged each other tightly. ”You’re finally here!”

The handsome Hu Bai unloaded his belongings, along with Nan Zishi’s little pet, Little Lao Liu.

Lanxing and Chi Xiao walked over to Hu Bai.

Lanxing asked, ”Brother Hu Bai, you’re finally here. Was your journey alright?”

Hu Bai replied, ”I’m fine. How about all of you?”

”We’re all fine,” said Lanxing.

Chi Xiao said, ”As long as you’re safe. Hu Bai, I just caught some prey. Come and eat!”

As they ate the meat together, the initial joy of their reunion quickly faded.

All of them, the Beastmen and cubs, big and small, began to miss the same person.

Lanxing gazed toward the mining area. ”I miss Sister so much.”

”I miss Mother, too,” said Fox Qi.

Huo Jun sighed.

She Yang lowered his head and let out a quiet HISS.

Fufu pouted, taking a bite of a small dried fish.

Off to the side, the overlooked Silver Wolf Pups, Lang Xian and Wolf Mu, quietly gnawed on their meat.

Wolf Mu whispered to Lang Xian, ”Brother Xian, they’re missing that pretty lady, right?”

Lang Xian couldn’t be bothered to respond. He just gazed toward the mining area.

’He hadn’t known before they arrived, but he’d learned from being around them recently that the female, Nan Zishi—the one he thought might be his mother—was actually inside that mining area right now.’

’If she’s in the mining area, their two fathers are bound to run into her.’

’A Silver Wolf’s sense of smell is incredibly sharp. Their fathers will definitely recognize her the moment they see her.’

’If she really is their mother, should he try to create some opportunities for his father to be alone with her?’

Lang Xian patted his head. ’He was getting way ahead of himself. Nothing was certain yet; he didn’t even know for sure if she was his mother, and here he was, already overthinking things.’

Hu Bai asked, ”Is there any way to visit someone inside?”

”Visit someone inside?” Chi Xiao’s eyes lit up.

Lanxing immediately said, ”Let’s go ask! If they say no, we can bribe them. I have salt!”

”Alright. We’ll go and ask at first light.”

Even though they weren’t sure if they’d be able to see Nan Zishi, the mere possibility made both the adults and the children giddy with excitement.

The cubs couldn’t help but swing their legs, and Yang’er even started wagging his tail.

He might not want to see his father, but he really, really wanted to see his mother.
