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

Chapter 176 Different Thoughts "Heh... I used to come here all the time. Take a look around. See if there is anything you can use." 50 +5 Free Coins Niall looked utterly satisfied. Maybe it was because things had just gotten intense, but his voice came out exceptionally low and hoarse. It sounded good. Too good. The kind that sent a faint, tingling shiver through the body. His eyes were soft, almost liquid. His long fingers traced back and forth over Ardenia's face, slow and unhurried. What a stunning disaster. It makes me barely able to look her straight in the eye.

Niall knew precisely what he was doing. He didn't even try to hide it. His words suggested she check but his hand was already guiding hers into his pocket. around for anything," The moment Ardenia felt the touch, her eyes widened in shock. Niall's smile didn't falter. "Little female, you were staring at Vesper last night for ages. Did you think I couldn't handle it?" "No!" the feisty girl shot back, trying to sound tough, but her cheeks were burning. Niall wasn't about to let a perfect opportunity slip. He smoothly scooped Ardenia up while leaning back against the stone.

She found herself trapped in his arms, staring straight into his captivating eyes, and her mind went completely blank. "Don't tempt me." Ardenia grabbed his chin and slapped him. Niall smirked. "I'm so wronged." "So what are you gonna do about it?" she asked, knowing full well. "Do me! How's that sound?" he shot back. "Not a bad idea!" Ardenia said aloud, but the next second, under Niall's intense gaze, she got to her feet. "I smell the star anise tree. Take me there." She pointed toward the nearby slight dirt slope. It wasn't the season for star anise, but they could grab a few offshoots.

Better than nothing. Niall lay sideways on the ground, looking like a little male who had been wronged. He whimpered his protest. "Little female, you tricked me." Ardenia raised an eyebrow. "I didn't lie. I said I'd do you, flow it happens? That's up to me." Niall thumped the ground. Even the sly fox had lost this round. He spun around suddenly. A big white fox appeared in front of Ardenia. On its front paws, it kneeled and croaked, "Hop on. I'll take you there." Aww, little female isn't pampering me. Am I still not pretty enough? I just don't get it! Ardenia's mind wasn't on that at all.

Right now, she was utterly focused on figuring out where to find usable spices. 1/2 12:47 Wed, Jan 21 MG Chapter 176 Different Thoughts If only I could get my hands on some ginger. 50 +5 Free Coins Thinking about ginger, she opened her totem space. Level 4 had unlocked strawberries, cotton, roses, a complete set of tools for extracting essential oils, and a loom for weaving. It was a pretty exciting haul. Halden's as awesome as ever. But it's really weird-why is the increase just 0.5 both times? Shouldn't it be 1.0 or something? At least the reward's pretty good this time.

Once I find what I need and head down the mountain, I'll grab all the ramie from the back hills and then start on the linen cloth. Maybe I can even raise some silkworms. Plain linen isn't exactly soft on the skin, but if I add some mulberry silk, the texture's gonna be on a whole different level. Ardenia found herself standing under the tree before she even realized it. She hadn't imagined it-this was definitely star anise. She carefully picked the ripe ones she could reach and dropped them into her bamboo basket. The smell of star anise hit her, and her mouth started watering for meat.

In her mind, stew without star anise just didn't taste half as good. Right now, I have pepper, scallions, garlic, and star anise. If I can just find some ginger, then I'm all set... oh, and I can't forget the picked beans. Once the green beans are ready, I'll start by making picked beans. Then I'll dry a whole batch of bean paste. By the time that's done, flatbreads with fermented bean paste, served with a pot of millet gruel, are going to be amazing. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Hmm, I could even start by pickling the bean pods now.

Sour pickled green beans are a total meal upgrade. I can also stir-fry them with chicken offal. There are so many wild pheasants back in the hills-why wouldn't I eat them? Ardenia had picked a good amount of star anise. Niall still hadn't shaken the thought from his head. He was lying on the rock, staring at her figure with a dazed look in his eyes I want it! Why would the little female say no? Ugh, so annoying! But... I'm not giving up. Ardenia had been picking star anise when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught Niall sprawled on a rock, striking all these ridiculous poses.

One moment, he was licking his paws; the next, he was rolling over to show off the little pink pads on his belly. The whole scene screamed "dangerously cute beast," like some bloodsucking little demon in disguise. Anyway, he was ridiculously adorable. Ardenia admitted that big white fox was definitely captivating, but his cuteness was dangerously infectious. She pretended not to notice. Does that d*mn fox want to drive me insane?

Last night with Halden ended quickly, sure, but he's built like that, and even though I've got my level 5 wood-based technique to heal up, I just can't get myself interested right now. And then there's Niall... I'm scared I'd go overboard with him, lose control, and literally die from indulgence. Is there anything glorious about dying like that? Thinking back on my five mates-forget Calder, skip Vesper-Niall's the truly lethal one. 2/2 Liam Prescott
