Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 72: Beast meat acquired!

The next morning....

The group had bathed and eaten. Muku only covered up the well with some rubble, instead of completely closing it. He thought maybe it would be of assistance to some people who have no water that will happen to pass by eventually. And he was actually right, long after they left, the well would become a popular water source for many survivors and even some beasts.

"Okay, everyone ready?". Muku asked the girls as he was preparing to lift the mansion. They nodded in agreement and he got to work. This time it was a lot easier than the first time he did it, maybe due to the familiarity or because he got stronger. Well, either way, he wasn’t complaining. The mansion headed south slowly while hovering two meters above ground. Beside the spot where the mansion was, the dead, shrivelled-up body of the corrupted lizard could be seen. It died even sooner than Audrey thought it would.

"This is quite the experience". Emily said while looking at the group below them while sitting on the mansion wall with the other girls. Unlike last time, they weren’t too worried about Muku’s position, so they chose to enjoy the ride instead. Not to mention, they needed to be on the lookout for beasts that might try to attack it.

"Yeah, would have been better if we went as high as the clouds!" Jade excitedly agreed. If he heard her, Muku would definitely vomit blood in anger. Did this girl even have an idea of how hard it was to get it to their current height?

"Maybe when he ranks up a few more times we’ll be able to go up that high. This is good enough for now" Luckily for Muku, at least Emily wasn’t so unfeeling as she replied to Jade.

"Guess so...hey look! A bird! A giant bird!" Jade shouted, pointing in a certain direction into the sky in front of them. Emily looked in the direction she pointed and could barely see a black figure. But she didn’t doubt Jade’s words, she knew how freakishly sharp Jade’s senses were after all.

"Should we call Layla to this side?" Emily asked for Jade’s opinion. They weren’t all sitting in one spot.

They were distributed around the wall. Emily with Jade, Chloe with Hope, Layla alone and Audrey alone. Emily was good at ranged attacks, while Jade was good at close combat, so they complimented each other. But Emily’s attacks wouldn’t be able to reach so far before dissipating so she suggested asking for Layla’s help. She could use her beam attack, but that would take a huge chunk of her mana, which would be a waste, in her perspective when Layla could do it for a lot less mana.

"Hmm, nuh, it’s only a PR1 and even if it was a Half-step. I could stun it with my roar and cause it to plummet to the ground and possibly die from the impact". Jade denied the suggestion but with good reason.

"Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that! You don’t use it much" Emily exclaimed. With that ability, Jade was definitely the worst enemy for beasts within the same rank as her and even worse for those lower in Rank than her. With her current strength, she can make an unranked beast explode into a bloody mess.

"Yeah, that’s not my fault, though. Author-san had forgotten about it, so it was out of my hands". Jade replied.

"Oh, that makes sense. Anyway, the existence of flight-type monsters just made this whole situation even worse. I wonder how the weaker people are surviving" Emily replied, quickly getting depressed by the presence of flying beasts.

"Don’t think about it too much; your hair will go grey. Do you want to look like an old lady in front of Muku?" Jade said teasingly.

"What!, no! Not that!. Okay, I won’t think about it anymore!" Emily was given a fright by the prospect. Even more than what Jade expected.

"Hehehe, you’re so easy". Jade teased again.

"You dare make fun of me! Hmph! I’m not talking to you anymore". Emily said with a pout and looked away from Jade.

"Okay, okay, I’m sorry, please don’t ignore me, please, your majesty!" Jade exaggeratedly apologized.

"Okay, but only this once" Emily replied with a little smile on her face. Then both of them exploded into laughter at the event. But Jade’s focus was mostly still on the approaching beast.

"Hey, thanks for that" Emily suddenly spoke with a serious expression on her face as she looked forward. She knew Jade was only just trying to cheer her up.

"Anytime, you’re my sister from another mother after all" Jade replied with a little smile.

"Roar!!!!" Boom!

Before Emily could reply, Jade roared, as the giant bird had gotten close enough. And, as she said, it plunged to the ground in front of them and died on the spot.

"I wonder if it will taste like chicken" a voice suddenly sounded beside the girls.

Audrey suddenly appeared beside them, startling them both. Especially Jade who thought nothing could sneak up on her without her noticing it. Again, they were reminded about the strength a Rank Two possesses.

"What, huh?" She couldn’t help but ask not understanding Audrey’s statement.

"Well you see, like you, I also want to try out beast meat. However, it only started after I evolved to Rank Two when I was looking at the dead bodies of the lizards. But I was too embarrassed to mention it, luckily Mast...Muku finally agreed to let us try it....". Audrey explained herself and then disappeared.

"And this bird looks like a good place to start" She appeared again, this time the large three-metre tall bird on her shoulder. The scene looked quite comical actually, especially how she seemed to not be putting any effort into carrying it.

"I’ll take this to Layla so she can put it on ice and preserve it after I drain all of its blood out". Audrey said then disappeared again.

"Huh?". Jade was again dumbfounded not knowing what to make of what had just happened. Emily beside her was no better.

"Well, whatever, at least I’ll get to try beast meat sooner now" Since she couldn’t completely wrap her head around it, she just shrugged it off and sat back down. Seeing this Emily couldn’t help roll her eyes at Jade’s personality, but she also sat back down. There was no need to trouble herself either.

.....

You want me to do what?" Layla asked her mother, a deadpan expression on her face.

"Put this bird on ice so we can eat it later....is there a problem?" Audrey replied with some confusion, not even realising how weird what she was doing was.

".....okay, just put it on the ground I’ll do it". Not having the energy to argue, Layla simply agreed.

"Wait a minute, let me fix it up a bit first". Audrey replied as she started plucking off the bird’s feathers at hyper speed. She was so fast that Layla couldn’t even see her hands. When Layla thought she was done, she sliced off the bird’s head. Blood started gushing out, but it didn’t fall to the ground; it formed an orb in the air instead. When it was all drained out, Audrey cut the gut open, took out the guts and put them in the blood-red dish she’d made with the beast’s blood. After removing everything she felt should be removed, she threw away the blood-made dish along with the feathers and insides.

"Here". With an innocent smile, she headed the beast to Layla. Who felt like taking a step back from her but managed to hold herself back.

"Aren’t you a bit too good at that?" Layla couldn’t help but ask.

"Why thank you, but I don’t deserve the praise; it was basically no different from a chicken, just a bit bigger," Audrey replied, still smiling.

{That wasn’t a compliment!} Layla screamed in her head.

"Okay". But only agree in reality and put the bird on ice.

"Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think Master will need my assistance soon", Audrey said, then disappeared from Layla’s site.

{She’s really making full use of her abilities, appearing and disappearing all over the place. And it seems the hold Muku’s bloodline has on her might be stronger than we thought; as soon as she lets down her guard, she immediately calls him master. Well whatever, not like there’s any real harm done}. Layla thought to herself as she went back to her task of monitoring the surroundings.

.....

"Is it about time master?" Audrey asked as soon as she appeared beside Muku.

"Yes, you can begin whenever you’re ready". Muku replied, his face a bit pale from the tough task he was carrying out. He didn’t even notice Audrey addressing him as master, though honestly, he wouldn’t mind such a drop-dead gorgeous lady calling as such. But he’d never admit it.

"Okay, here I go. Please excuse me" Audrey said as she placed her hand on Muku’s back and started channeling her mana into his body. Also unlike what Layla thought, she wasn’t off guard when she called Muku master. After ranking up she’d noticed that resisting the way her class dictated she address Muku seemed to weaken her, on top of being increasingly harder to do. So she was just testing Layla’s reaction to her calling Muku like that, and after seeing that she didn’t react negatively, she gave up resisting.

"Ahh, that hits the spot". Muku said as his face returned back to normal from his pale look before.

"I’m glad to be of service master". Audrey replied, a beautiful smile blossoming on her face. Too bad Muku couldn’t see it or he’d have definitely been mesmerized by the beautiful site.

"Is this really what made you scream like crazy before though?". Muku couldn’t help but ask after remembering a certain night.

Hearing his question, Audrey’s face immediately turned red. She didn’t dare say anything in response. Especially after remembering how she climaxed for the first time in her life that night.
