Yu An asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"An’an, do you remember Female Mother saying that Beast Father once got a strange fruit? He ate it, and that’s how he’s been able to live in that state until now."

"So..."

Yu An held the box, asking uncertainly, "This is the pit from that fruit?"

"Yes," Han Li nodded. "Beast Father tried to plant it in the caves, but nothing changed. He planted it for over a decade, and when he dug it up, it looked exactly the same."

"Female Mother knows you have a Wood Element Ability, so she had Beast Father give me this pit to see if you could get it to grow."

Han Xiaoyun couldn’t say for sure what the fruit did, but the fact that it could save a life made it worth having Yu An try to plant it.

’If simply planting it in the soil won’t make it sprout, what about using a superpower to coax it along?’

On the way back, Yu An continuously channeled her superpower into the pit, but unfortunately, it showed no change.

"Female Mother, we’re all packed!"

The three little ones, each carrying a small bundle, hugged Yu An’s legs.

Her attention drawn to them, Yu An put the box containing the pit away into her space for the time being.

Every time she put something away, the Cloud Beasts would sort and store it, and this time was no exception.

The Cloud Beast that received the box opened it, looked inside, and saw it was a fruit pit.

’A pit is a seed, and a seed should be planted in the soil.’

The Little Cloud Beast thought for a moment, then took the pit to the cultivated planting area.

’Dig, place, bury, water... Today’s mission: complete!’

In reality, there wasn’t much to pack. They just had to put their things into the space, and the Cloud Beasts would automatically organize everything.

At first, Yu An had thought the Little Cloud Beasts were adorable. They acted cute and clingy whenever they saw her, and they looked so much like children that she had the surreal feeling of employing child labor.

But Ao Wu told her that even the youngest of the Cloud Beasts was at least fifty years old.

Besides, they loved helping Yu An. Sometimes, when there weren’t enough chores to go around, they would even fight over them. The winner would then strut off proudly to get to work.

"It’s made my life so much easier. I used to have piles of stuff in the space that I never had time to organize."

It had to be said, some things really happened by a stroke of luck. If Lan Yin’s Instant Teleportation hadn’t gone wrong, she would never have met the Cloud Beasts who suited her so perfectly, nor would her space have become a place where things could be planted and living creatures could enter.

Now, her space was truly an essential tool for both home and travel!

"Then what about me?"

Ao Wu said, looking aggrieved, "So the biggest prize was the Cloud Beasts, and I was just a bonus?"

Lan Ying, who was passing by, affirmed his sentiment: "Took you long enough! You finally realized you were a cheap freebie!"

Ao Wu: "!!!"

The family set off without much luggage or fanfare, but some of the city’s residents still came to see them off.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Yu An had taught them how to cook food, and they were very grateful, making a special trip to bid them farewell.

They watched until Yu An’s family disappeared from view before gradually heading home.

"I’m going to make roasted meat for my Female Master today. My skills are the best, and she loves it."

"I heard Boss Yu taught the people from the Giant Stone Tribe and the Qingyan Tribe how to make a lot of food we’ve never had before. I asked around, and they’ll be coming to the city to sell it in a while!"

"Boss Yu is so great. I heard that even the nobles in the Imperial City haven’t eaten this kind of food, but we get to enjoy it first."

"By the way, how does Boss Yu know how to make all this food? It’s amazing!"

"Well, Boss Yu is a female with the legendary Divine level fertility. I think it must be a gift from the Beast God..."

A Beastman had asked her this question while she was running her stall, but at the time, she had just given a mysterious smile.

’See? No need for me to explain. The Beastmen will come up with their own theories.’

Ordinary Beastmen traveled on foot. If there were females and cubs, the males would transform into their beast forms to carry them. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yu An had her stall cart in her space, so they didn’t need to go to that trouble.

Having completed its mission, the cart no longer needed charging. It could run for eight hundred days without the battery dropping a single bar. The only problem was that it wasn’t big enough, with room for only two people.

After a brief discussion, the six men decided to take turns. One person would stay outside to accompany Yu An, while the others went into the space.

Today was Ao Wu’s turn. He had learned to drive long ago and was now enjoying some rare one-on-one time with Yu An.

"Oh, right," Yu An said, taking out some beef jerky to pass the time and feeding a piece to Ao Wu. "Ao Wu, you said before that your family situation was complicated. Just how complicated is it?"

’I feel like I need to learn about my Beast Husband’s family, just in case I run into some evil father-in-law who throws one hundred thousand gold coins at me and tells me to leave Ao Wu.’

Ao Wu hesitated. "An’an, I..."

"You don’t want to talk about it?"

Yu An changed her tune. "It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me right now. You can tell me when you’re ready."

"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you," Ao Wu said, looking conflicted. "It’s just... too complicated."

"My Beast Father isn’t my biological father. He found me and brought me home. I have four older brothers, and he found all of them too."

"I’ve never met my Female Mother. Beast Father said she was taken by bad people, and he and my brothers have been trying to find a way to save her."

As the youngest in the family, Ao Wu hadn’t been involved.

"That small island in the Endless Sea was once my home. One day, I woke up and found that the island and I had flown to an unfamiliar sea."

Ao Wu had a look of utter despair on his face. "I lived there for a very, very long time. It wasn’t until you arrived that I was rescued."

Yu An felt a bit of sympathy. "Wow, you really had it rough."

Ao Wu seized the opportunity to snuggle up to her. "Right? I think so too. I had it so rough. An’an, you have to dote on me more~"

Yu An pushed him away with a light smack. "Behave. And drive properly."

"Okay."

"So, do you have any childhood sweethearts or a fiancée back home?"

Yu An couldn’t help but ask, "Also, you’re a Dragon Clan Beastman. What about your family? If they all have Divine level Spiritual Power like you, would they be hard to get along with?"

There was a pecking order among Beastmen, too. Females with high fertility looked down on those with low fertility, and males with high spiritual power looked down on those with low spiritual power.

Ao Wu never said it outright, but he still showed a certain sense of superiority. Occasionally, he would say things like "low-level males aren’t worthy of Yu An."

Of course, under Yu An’s "loving" tutelage, he had already learned to be low-key and humble.

"My Beast Father and brothers are all from the Dragon Clan. According to Beast Father, my Female Mother is a Phoenix Beastman. But in our family, besides my Beast Father and Female Mother, I’m the strongest!"

Ao Wu said smugly, "I’m the only cub with Divine level Spiritual Power that Beast Father found. My brothers only got to bully me a little when I was young."

’If I had a younger brother like that,’ Yu An thought, ’I’d definitely bully him while I had the chance. I wouldn’t be able to once he grew up. Besides, with a personality like his, he must have gotten beaten up a lot at home.’

"As for whether they’re easy to get along with... Absolutely! I guarantee it!"

Ao Wu added, a little resentfully, "They’ll definitely treat you better than they treat me, just like the Cloud Beasts."

He had kept those Cloud Beasts company for many years, but they usually ignored him. The moment they saw Yu An, though, they ran to her faster than dogs!

They had only listened to his command that one time. Usually, they would take a detour just to avoid him, as if he were some kind of bad luck charm!
