Chapter 66: Chapter 66: To Conquer the World, a Beastman Only Needs...
"What could possibly be more important than finding a partner?" Mao Qiu looked skeptical. "You have to fight for a good male beast. Now that you’re an adult sub-female, if you see one you like, you have to act fast."
Feng Si chuckled lightly. "Making coins is far more important than finding a partner."
"Finding a male beast is the most important thing," Mao Qiu maintained.
"You’ve always said you wanted to find a powerful male beast, right?" Feng Si asked.
"Yeah, but a powerful male beast wouldn’t look twice at me." Not understanding why Feng Si had changed the subject, Mao Qiu sat down on the floor with her and started helping unpack the boxes. The bowls and plates were fragile, so they were wrapped in several layers of paper inside.
Mao Qiu considered herself average-looking. A sub-female couldn’t compare to a female. Although she also wanted to find a strong male beast to improve the prospects of her offspring, she only dared to dream of it.
’She was also genuinely concerned for Feng Si. Feng Si... has a scary number of dark spots on her face. It’ll be difficult for her to find a male beast in the future.’
"If you don’t have the looks, then you need to earn a lot of coins." Feng Si raised an eyebrow slightly. "When the time comes, using coins to pursue a powerful male beast will definitely be more effective than pursuing him with your heart."
Mao Qiu said self-consciously, "But I’m so ugly. Even if I had coins, he wouldn’t agree, would he?"
Feng Si carried the unwrapped white porcelain bowls to the kitchen as she spoke. "He wouldn’t agree? One million coins, two million coins, ten million coins... There’s always a point where a male beast will be tempted. For example, aren’t the male beasts of the Lion Clan quite fond of living off their partners?"
"I think you’re right!" After hearing Feng Si’s words, it was as if a whole new world had opened up for Mao Qiu. The image of a muscular male beast seemed to break through the fog and appear right before her!
Mao Qiu, no longer self-conscious, now had sparkling eyes. Feng Si, who had been comforting the helping sub-female, smiled. Then, Mao Qiu turned back around and started unpacking the plates.
The sound of bowls and plates clinking echoed through the living room from time to time. Just then, Mao Ge, who was in Mao Qiu’s arms, woke up.
The little guy struggled out of his sister’s embrace. The moment his four paws hit the ground, he wiggled his bottom and darted towards Feng Si, who was sitting cross-legged opposite them.
Feng Si reached out and caught the little orange kitten, holding him under his front legs with both hands. She lifted the kitten up and laughed happily. "Caught a little male beast, haha." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The little kitten tilted his head back, trying hard to look behind him, and meowed in a pinched voice, "Wanna be held, meow~"
Feng Si gently stroked the little orange kitten’s head, then pulled her hand back. She reached into her waist pouch and, like a magic trick, opened her five fingers to reveal a Green Potato lying in her palm.
Staring at the fair, slender fingers right in front of him, Mao Ge’s eyes went crossed, but he didn’t forget to snatch the food with his mouth.
She cooed over the kitten for a while. His soft, delicate voice, tinged with the unique milky scent of a cub, tugged at her maternal instincts.
Mao Qiu’s family had four cubs. Their father, Mao Mu, couldn’t hunt because of a lame leg, so their sub-female mother had to work outside all day. That was why Mao Ge was always looked after by his eldest sister, Mao Qiu.
Mao Mu’s leg wasn’t incurable; it just needed treatment at the Sacrificial Hall in Pantian City. Now, with the stall Feng Si had given to Mao Qiu, their family was saving up coins.
Feng Si looked from Mao Qiu to the little orange kitten she was holding, giving him a little squeeze as he hugged and gnawed on the Green Potato. The little guy was very well-fed. Though he still had a kitten’s face, his body was already the size of a hefty 16-pound housecat.
"I happen to be short one Beastman who likes to eat. I was originally planning to hire someone, but now I see Mao Ge is quite suitable. Would you like him to come help me? Two hundred coins a day~"
"No need for money. You feed Ge’er every day, so he’s already profiting." Mao Qiu thought, ’Feng Si is too kind.’
She looked at the little orange kitten, who was now gnawing on his fluffy paws. "What can such a small cub even do? He can only stare with wide eyes and meow!"
Feng Si stood up, gathering a pile of discarded wrapping paper. "I have to pay him," she said. ’A kitten can sell his cuteness!’
With Mao Qiu’s help, Feng Si set up the livestreaming room much faster. She divided the room into three areas.
The first area, by the door, was the cooking station. The second was a product display area, and the third was a camping area.
After seeing Mao Qiu off, Feng Si returned to her bedroom to watch over the egg. At the same time, she registered a new account on the largest video site on her holobrain and enabled the livestreaming function.
She gave her livestream channel a catchy name, but right now, her follower count was zero.
Looking at the empty account, Feng Si stroked her chin.
Feng Si had never livestreamed before, but she had some experience from watching them. To ensure her stream wasn’t deserted tomorrow, she decided to summon Yang Wen and make some more arrangements.
Yang Wen once again found himself in the corridor... outside Feng Si’s house.
This time, he stood there, saying in a daze, "Give me four more days. I’ll definitely get the remaining city sites activated for your communicator ID."
"I didn’t call you here today to reprimand you." Feng Si looked down and brought up a light screen, transferring twenty million coins to Yang Wen’s Coin Card on the spot.
Yang Wen couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.
’Oh no.’
’The penny-pinching sub-female is transferring coins!’
Having seen Feng Si’s unwilling-to-part-with-a-single-coin demeanor, Yang Wen stared at the coins in his account, his heart pounding. "Wh-what is the meaning of this?"
For the first time, Feng Si actively leaned in and whispered something in front of Yang Wen. The still-uneasy Yang Wen’s eyes instantly widened—with pleasant surprise.
"Yes, my lord! I will be sure to do exactly as you say!" Yang Wen had arrived with his head bowed and back bent, but he left with his head held high and chest puffed out, like a victorious ram.
...
The next evening at seven o’clock, during the time slot usually dominated by news, politics, or livestreams from the Beast Fighting Arena, an unremarkable channel featuring green grass and trees appeared.
[Food Even Females Want to Eat]
[A pleasure for the palate. In an unexpected discovery, I actually won a female’s favor with fine cuisine.]
Feng Si was now in her livestreaming room. An egg-sized camera drone floated in front of her.
She wore a specially tailored chef’s uniform. Her black hair was tucked into a chef’s hat, her sleeves were neatly rolled up to reveal slender, snow-white wrists, and the apron around her waist was tied in a perfect bow.
She stood before a white wooden table, illuminated by two bright lights from the front, which highlighted the jar of pickled cabbage placed on it.
In the middle of the table was a small stove that could produce an open flame. On it sat a frying pan, so black it shone. White bowls, plates, and chopsticks were stored in a drawer.
The bright, clean room and the young sub-female formed a stark contrast to the serious news and bloody fight livestreams.
On the palm-sized holographic screen projected from the camera, Feng Si could see the number of online viewers suddenly skyrocket—twenty thousand... fifty thousand... Immediately, a flood of real-time comments scrolled by:
"Whoa! Food that even a female would find delicious? I’ve gotta see how this streamer dares to make such a bold claim!"
