Transmigrating to the BeastWorld,I Picked Up an Adorable BeastHusband!-Chapter 23: He has a strong body

Una scoffed at Ningning as she sat down, Xiaoli handed her a reef.

"So do we have a deal? I’ve never made a basket before so I’m quite curious.."

Her words attracted stunned eyes.

"You have never made a basket before? Just what tribe do you come from? What a sheltered human.."

-_-

Ningning’s lips twitched, she was a fourth year chemical engineering student, why would she need to learn how to make a basket in the 21st century?

"It’s not hard to make a basket. It’s very easy." Una sighed as she sat down as well, grabbing a reef.

It would be best not to fight with Weijie’s mate, she did not want him to dislike her.

"Alright, everyone pick a reef. We are going to start now."

The woman all listened to Una and grabbed a reef

Una exhaled through her nose and sat properly, gathering her own reeds. "It’s not difficult." she said, her tone clipped but controlled. "Anyone can do it if they pay attention."

She glanced at Ningning briefly. "Just don’t rush."

Ningning inclined her head. "I won’t."

Una straightened her back and addressed the group. "Listen. The base decides everything. If the bottom is weak, the basket will fall apart once you carry weight."

She demonstrated with practiced ease, weaving the first few strands together, firm and symmetrical.

"The reeds must cross at each sides. If one side is tighter, it will twist."

The women leaned in, nodding. They had seen and done this many times, but watching Una work was familiar and reassuring.

Ningning watched closely.

Not just with her eyes.

She tracked patterns, tension distribution, symmetry, and load balance.

Her fingers moved carefully, mimicking the structure rather than the motion.

At first, a few women watched her with thinly veiled amusement.

"It is not easy to get it on the first try.." Puka sighed, as she weaved her basket with ease.

The others also agreed with her. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"I also failed on my first try and the second try was a very ugly basket."

Puka laughed "Zuma’s basket was very ugly. Hah and then that bear stole her fish."

-_-

Zuma in question, lips twitched as she raised the base of her basket.

"Don’t mock me, I got better at it and the new female is not bad at it too.."

Ningning’s basket base formed cleanly, the intersections even, the tension consistent.

When she adjusted a reed, it was deliberate, correcting micro-imbalances before they became visible flaws.

Una noticed.

She tried not to.

But when Ningning bent one strand and reinforced the base by doubling the weave near the center, Una’s fingers paused.

"...Why did you do that?" Una asked, not accusing, just sharp.

Ningning looked up "If it’s loose here" she pressed the middle "it bends when you carry food. So I made it tighter."

Una eyes widened at the new found knowledge but she didn’t say anything. She turned to her own basket and began adjusting it.

One of the women leaned closer to Ningning. "Can it hold roots?"

"Yes." Ningning said. "Even heavy ones."

Another asked, curious despite herself, "What about berries?"

Ningning shook her head. "Yes. But if the hole is too big it might fall out. So you make the sides smaller. Smaller than the berries then it can’t come out."

A soft chime echoed in her head.

[Task Progress: 36%]

Doudou’s voice followed, cheerful.

[They’re listening now. Good job. Now ask about them.]

Ningning worked as she spoke. "So," she said casually, "which male do you like?"

That got them.

"Oh?"

Puka was the first person to answer as she placed the half made basket down.

"Jaren is very handsome and he has strong body. Ah I wish he will let me have his hatchlings.."

-_-

"You only care about making love with Wuyi, why do you suddenly want to have Jaren’s hatchlings?" Xiaoli asked, she found it quite odd.

Puka shook her head and placed her face on her hand.

"Wuyi is the one who likes me but my eyes are on Jaren but he doesn’t see me and he won’t touch me. How did you get him to touch you Zuma?"

Zuma hissed at the mention of Jaren’s name and also placed her basket down.

"It was only for the mating season. But he was too aggressive. It’s hard taking four males at once.."

Ningning’s lips twitched, if the males here had dicks Weijie’s size.

She could only pity them.

[And this is why reproduction is low. The chances of pregnancy is higher when it’s just one partner but it’s the mating season and everyone wants to a kid. But they can’t wait so no one gets a kid.]

Ningning sighed, she had alot to teach these women.

They needed to know how reproduction worked.

"What about you Ningning. Why do you like Weijie?" Una smiled, bringing everyone’s attention back to her.

The question caught Ningning off guard and she had to think carefully.

"Well. I know it’s early but. He treats me well and he’s very attentive.." she had never seen a man care about her needs the way he did and he was half beast.

"Ooohhh. You must really like him heh. How many hatchlings will you be having? Will you take another mate?"

Ningning thought about this, as she smiled at Xiaoli who had asked the question.

In an environment like this, there was a alot of breeding ground for harem, but she was way too modern to think about caring for multiple men.

It had always been her heart’s desire to have just one man who would love and care for her with all his might.

And she had found Weijie.

"I won’t be taking another mate." her expression was serious when she said this, she didn’t think she had it in her to split her heart in two for both men.

"As for children.." Weijie’s smile flashed in her mind for a second, she did not mind having lots of children as long as she had the resources to take care of them.

"The more the merrier.."
