Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 90 - 87: Wanting to Lay Snake Eggs

"We will protect the tribe, hunt with you, and build the tribe together."

The Beastmen’s backs were drenched in cold sweat and their legs felt weak. Their voices trembled as they swore their oaths, but Mi Yin didn’t seem to get the answer he wanted, and his expression grew even colder.

"HISS~ Is that all?" His blade-like, scarlet eyes scanned the trembling Beastmen, and his black-and-red snake tail scraped against the ground, lifting slightly.

A few of them couldn’t stay standing on their weak legs and collapsed to the ground with a THUD.

A tall, well-built, middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. His name was Da Shu, and he was the backbone of this group of Beastmen.

His gaze went past the terrifying Snake Beast, landing resolutely on An Jin. He took two steps forward and declared loudly and sincerely, "We will dedicate our lives to the tribe! We swear to the Beast God that we will never betray it!"

Although Mi Yin didn’t believe in the Beast God, the deity was the spiritual belief for the majority of Beastmen in the Beast World.

One could not swear an oath in the Beast God’s name and then break it, or else a natural disaster would befall them! They would face the condemnation and scorn of all Beastmen!

Only then did Mi Yin retract his gaze, satisfied. The crowd felt as if they had received a grand pardon, cold sweat dripping down their faces.

’He really played the bad cop role perfectly.’ An Jin immediately followed up with a few friendly words of comfort for the pale-faced Beastmen.

They finally let down the last of their defenses. Their reverence for the tribe deepened, and at the same time, their trust in and affection for the gentle Female Clan Leader grew even stronger.

"We will follow the tribe’s orders. Besides, our females are here. Please believe in our loyalty!"

An Jin smiled. "The tribe welcomes you, as well."

And so, this group of Beastmen settled in the tribe.

[Tribe Members: 66↑ (Females: 9↑)]

[Morale: 39↓]

Although their words sounded pleasant, the average morale had secretly dropped by one point.

An Jin could understand. After all, they had been forced to seek refuge in a time of crisis. Their morale was bound to be slightly lower than that of the first group of Beastmen in the tribe.

Mirror Mirror chuckled and dutifully comforted her, [As long as Master speeds up the tribe’s development and brings them enough benefits, their morale will naturally increase!]

With the influx of over a dozen Beastmen, the original wooden houses were already starting to feel crowded. Moreover, the recent beast tide hadn’t just destroyed this one small tribe.

An Jin was certain that more groups of Beastmen would pour in over the next few days.

She had wanted the Beastmen to hurry and build a few more wooden houses, as well as a stone wall on all four sides to fend off an ordinary beast tide, but it looked like that plan would have to be delayed because of this damn weather.

The great rainy season of the Beast World wasn’t what she had imagined—it wasn’t just a simple increase in rainfall.

The arrival of the great rainy season brought terrifyingly violent storms. The downpour intensified, the sky grew as dark as night, and apocalyptic tornadoes, carrying floodwaters, swept across the land, churning up countless loose stones, broken logs, and the mangled remains of animals.

Floods, storms, lightning...

Looking out the window, one could see black clouds churning violently just a few hundred meters above the ground like a deep-sea tsunami, blotting out the sky. Within the thick, black clouds, dense lightning bolts, like swimming dragons, and hundreds of thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity pierced the heavens.

Continuous, massive arcs of electricity flashed as bright as day in the sky, which was as dark and thick as night. The RUMBLE of thunder was deafening...

The entire world felt cold, gloomy, and oppressive. It seemed as if only one type of weather remained—a continuous, terrifying thunderstorm.

Amidst the wind and rain, the tribe’s wooden houses stood firm, completely unaffected by the rainy season. This made the Beastmen even more certain that their decision to join this tribe was absolutely correct!

[Morale +4, Current: 43↑]

Unable to go out in this awful weather, An Jin, Mi Yin, and the others huddled inside a wooden house, warming themselves by a cozy bonfire and eating the food they had stored up long ago.

The constant roar of thunder and the WHOOSHING of the heavy rain outside completely ruined the leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

"When is this rain going to stop?" An Jin hadn’t been outside for days and was starting to feel a little bored.

Mi Yin had shifted into his snake form and was coiled in a circle beside her. The cold weather made him even lazier. He rested his snake head on her thigh, accepting the female’s gentle strokes, and slowly closed his red-filmed eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Ling Hong was the one who answered her. "This weather should last for another three days, followed by a few days of clear skies."

"The rainy season lasts about three months. There will be three major downpours in total. This is the first one."

"After this downpour ends, there will be a few days of good weather, immediately followed by the second downpour, and then the third..."

An Jin nodded, sighing as she looked at the dark, terrifying sky outside. The room was also very dim, lit only by a few sunlight Stones and the bonfire.

"Oh, right, is there any news about the salt Stone?" She turned her head to look at the Little Merfolk beside her.

Xi nodded obediently, his eyes curving into crescents as he looked at his beloved female. His good mood was completely unaffected by the terrible weather. "A few days ago, I swam to a shallow sea area not too far away and met a group of turtle Beastmen. They said they have salt Stone there, and also the type of clay you’re looking for!"

"In a couple of days, I can take Ah Jin there. The round trip by water will take three days at most. We can definitely make it back before the second downpour."

"Okay. Thank you, Xi." An Jin’s mood finally brightened a little.

Xi’s cheeks flushed slightly, and his soft, azure ear fins also took on a faint pink hue. He said in a soft, delicate voice, "As long as it’s something Ah Jin wants, Xi will work hard to find it~"

「Sure enough, two days later」, the wind and rain subsided a bit. The "silkworm babies" had also finished shedding their third layer of skin and were preparing to enter the pupation stage before the cold season.

Their chubby, plump white bodies had two rows of black holes on their sides, from which they spat out dense, tough silk threads, wrapping themselves into large, snow-white cocoons. They lay motionless, piled up in the thatched shed.

Before the rain had completely stopped, Mi Yin, casting aside his usual laziness, volunteered to take a few Wandering Beasts with a good water attribute out to hunt.

That afternoon, they brought back over a dozen live sheep. Most were ewes about to give birth, along with a few rams that An Jin wanted to keep for breeding.

She didn’t know if these wild sheep could be domesticated, but she had to take the first step. At worst, she would just have to breed them a few more times over several generations.

All the Beastmen looked at the few rams with complicated expressions. To her surprise, An Jin actually detected a hint of envy in their eyes?

Even Ling Hong and the other two were no exception.

The male-to-female ratio among them, the Beastmen, was severely imbalanced. Countless young, strong Beastmen couldn’t find mates. To think that even these livestock could find females to mate with and produce offspring. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

An Jin rubbed her temples and explained with a helpless laugh, "Don’t overthink it. This is just to produce more lambs. Once they’ve multiplied, these Miaomiao Beasts can serve as a food supply for the tribe."

Mi Yin looked at the pregnant ewes, then suddenly hugged her from behind. He brought his thin, crimson lips close to her ear and murmured ambiguously, "Jin’er, I want you to get pregnant for me and lay snake eggs."

The words "pregnant" and "snake eggs" struck a nerve with An Jin, and goosebumps instantly broke out all over her skin.

’I do not want to lay eggs. At least, not right now.’

"Not right now. W-wait until I go into heat in the future. It’s still too early now."

"Alright." Mi Yin buried his head in the crook of her neck and sighed regretfully. His forked tongue lightly flicked against her cheek, but in his mind, he was already secretly planning when his female would go into heat.

He had been diligently hunting for prey these past few days precisely because he wanted to nourish his female’s body. Seeing that her complexion had become rosy and healthy recently, and that her sharp, thin face had started to round out, revealing a hint of delicate charm, Mi Yin had a feeling he wouldn’t have to wait too long.
