Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

Chapter 128 Making Stone Pots Chapter 128 Making Stone Pots 74 +10 Free Coins They used to feel sorry for Halden and the others for being stuck with a partner like her. Now they couldn't even get near her place. Ardenia's cave was fenced off, and her territory was marked every single day. Her mates rotated guard duty. No stepping inside, no sharing meals-just watching and suffering through it three times a day. Deria, though, was different. Near noon, she showed up with her kids to freeload lunch again, and Quincy tagged along. Last night, Halden had sent him a pile of crayfish.

They tasted unbelievable. Quincy never imagined those claws could be that delicious. So early this morning, a bunch of therians had already gone to the river to scoop more up. "Father, you're here? Your leg's doing better?" Ardenia asked. Quincy replied, "Much better. I came to discuss something with you.' It was about the stone pot. Over the past couple of days, Melissa's family had started boiling food too. He'd gone to take a look at their pot. It was solid workmanship, excellent quality. Now, a whole group in the tribe wanted him to talk to Ardenia.

Everyone wanted stone pots of their own. They were tired of nothing but roasted meat. Pan-fried food smelled incredible. Stewed food, too. "You're talking about the stone pots?" Halden had carved them, so Ardenia was confident. If one wanted culture to spread, one had to start with flavor. If one wanted outsiders to understand a place fast, one had to feed them local dishes. Honestly, Ardenia had been waiting for Quincy to bring this up. "You already guessed?" Quincy blinked. He hadn't even said it yet. "Yeah. But Father, the stone pots aren't like the bug-repellent pouches.

Those were something I made as your daughter and as part of the tribe, so they were free. The pots are different. My mate Halden carved them with his ability. So they come with a price." The word 'price' dropped, and not only Quincy, but Deria beside him also froze. They blurted in unison, "Price?" Ardenia paused to line up her wording, then said, "It means you trade for it. I was thinking-one piece of game for one pot. And I'll personally teach everyone how to render fat and cook." "Just one animal for a stone pot like that?" 1/3 14:24.

Thu, Jan 8 D Chapter 128 Making Stone Pots 4,74 +10 Free Coins Quincy was shocked. The tribe's therians weren't especially high-ranked, but taking down one animal wasn't difficult. And this cooking method-brilliant enough that it felt like only the Beast God would know it should've been worth ten animals, shouldn't it? He worried Ardenia was letting herself get taken advantage of. "You feel like I'm losing out?" Ardenia asked, though she already knew the answer. Of course she did. But the weather was heating up, and she didn't want her mates running off to hunt all the time.

And if she collected too much meat, there was nowhere to store it. Without ice, even salted or dried, summer would attract insects. Once the rainy season came, the smell alone would drive her crazy. Besides, they were all her own people. Gains and losses didn't need to be counted to the last scrap. Mutual benefit-that was what mattered. She was the type who preferred to save the hard bargaining for outsiders. She was using the original Ardenia's identity, after all. She ought to give something back. "I don't just think it. I'm certain. I checked Melissa's stone pot. It's incredibly sturdy.

In this tribe, probably only Halden or Vesper can carve one like that." Carving a stone pot took real technique, not just raw strength. Before coming here, Quincy and the High Priest had both tried it themselves, and both times, the stone split apart and crumbled all over the ground. There was no way you could cook in something like that. And besides, he wasn't here just to freeload a meal. Everyone had witnessed what happened with those intruders a few days ago-Ardenia's control over wood had shattered every expectation they'd had of her.

On top of that, after hearing what the High Priest said... Quincy had already started considering stepping down. Those two sudden crises-Ardenia had handled them flawlessly. Especially the matter with the Fierce Lion Tribe. That result was pure blessing. Even so, he only dared to think it in private. His daughter possessed power that surpassed the witch doctor. If he placed her in the top seat right now, other powerful tribes might show up wanting to claim her for themselves. Better to wait. Once Halden and the others hit level ten and could fully shield her, then he'd raise the idea.

So, he swallowed the words back down. "But Father, I really don't think I'm losing anything. The weather's heating up fast, and the mountains are getting harder to access. Let's settle it this way. Anyone who wants a pot can come register with me." 2/3 14:24. Thu, Jan 8 D Chapter 128 Making Stone Pots +10 Free Coins While speaking, Ardenia passed stuffed mushrooms to the two little cubs who had been quietly watching from the side. Honestly, Deria's kids were unbelievably adorable.

Dimples appeared when they smiled, and they sat so well-behaved while the adults talked, not making a fuss at all. It was impossible not to like them. Young Inkfoxes really did have top-tier looks. "Thank you!" She liked them even more now. That soft little voice was too precious. Ardenia couldn't resist and gently ruffled their hair. Deria immediately chimed in, "Me too! Ardenia, I want one as well." 14:24. Thu, Jan 8 Do Dylan
