The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 297 Yuheng's Thoughts

Chapter 297 Yuheng's Thoughts

A little over a month is enough time for the residents who have just moved into the Beast City to adapt to life in the city.

Although the living space doesn't seem as big as before, life has become much more convenient.

During this period, agreements were reached with tribes that intended to live in the Beast City, and they moved into the city, where community workers were assigned to guide them in adapting to life there.

As the occupancy rate of houses in the city increased, many problems were also exposed in the Beast City. Ling Chengen joined forces with others to begin to promulgate management regulations one by one and set up various departments to maintain the operation of the city.

Law enforcement was the first to pull them up.

Because the newly arrived animal residents are extremely curious, the local office has received numerous complaints.

Some people stay up late at night, specifically climbing along the exterior pipes to other people's windows to see what's going on inside, how well they live, and how their homes are furnished...

There is virtually no theft, as every household in Beast City currently has no shortage of food.

However, fights do occur.

Some people discriminate against small orcs. The rat race's appearance does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of the beast plains. Many people think they are deformed and cannot even hide their tails, making them orcs on a completely different level.

Ling Chengen had heard these words more than once.

She understood that most people would find it difficult to accept this kind of outsider, but this situation definitely needed to be resolved. If it was ignored, it would definitely cause big problems later, which would completely contradict Chongzhen's and her original promises to the rat tribe.

Therefore, law enforcement teams were established in the city, and race management regulations were also introduced.

The law enforcement department is headed by Su Weihua, who is calm, meticulous, and somewhat rigid.

Ling Chengen originally intended for him and Chang Tianchen to jointly form an army and serve as the leaders of the winter campaign.

However, Su Weihua is still too young, and his ability level has not yet reached the high level, so as the person in charge of the overall battle, he is still unable to control the people below him.

Moreover, Chang Tianchen was also very reluctant to cooperate with Su Weihua, especially during the critical period of the newly formed army. He had put a lot of effort into it and wanted to have enough say in the newly formed army. He did not want anyone to share his power. Therefore, he made it clear that he did not need Su Weihua. Even in the coldest winter, he could still stay clear-headed and his combat power would not be weakened by the weather.

Ling Chengen basically let his last few words go in one ear and out the other.

But she knew very well that Chang Tianchen was a very domineering person. Although he chose to bring Snake Mountain to submit, it was not a simple submission to Stone Forest. There were many other messy things mixed in.

However, actions speak louder than intentions.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Ling Chengen decided to let Chang Tianchen do things his way for the time being. If she found anything amiss with the military later, she would then intervene to rectify the situation.

As for Su Weihua, she was sent to the city's law enforcement team to hone her skills.

The number of law enforcement officers is limited; it certainly cannot be like the military, which can house thousands or tens of thousands of personnel.

However, this department values ​​quality over quantity, and it can leverage personal connections. If it performs well, over time it will gain a deterrent effect on the beastmen in the city. Once his ability level increases, there will be less resistance when he needs to be transferred to the army.

After Su Weihua's location was arranged, the most serious problem in Beast City was the shortage of medical personnel, and the treatment capacity was completely unable to keep up with the population size.

Ling Chengen had anticipated this, so Yuheng hadn't had time to stay home recently. There were five medical institutes in the city, with the main institute being the one in the city center, and small medical stations in the four corners of the inner city, each equipped with a shaman.

When teaching those unskilled barefoot doctors, Yuheng encountered the biggest problem of his life.

I can't teach you!

His medical skills can be said to be the pinnacle of both the Northern Plains and the Northern Wilderness, but he would not teach those wood-type warriors of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth ranks.

The main problem is that the orcs couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Compared to those people, Yu Shaochen's intelligence suddenly became conspicuous, and Yu Heng gradually stopped disliking him so much.

However, Yu Shaochen is currently in charge of the agricultural sector, and he is not particularly skilled in treatment, so he is now focusing on planting...

Ling Chengen gave him an idea: go find Xuan Yan.

Xuan Yan is a tenth-tier wood-type warrior, but recently his strength level has been declining again.

She didn't want to have finally found a talented person, only to have them suddenly become unwell due to her health condition.

So they wanted Yuheng to see if he could solve Xuanyan's health problems.

Because this person has a very solid foundation in medical skills.

Ling Chengen had seen him on duty at the medical station in the northeast of the city by chance. At that time, he was accompanied by four or five wood-type warriors of the third to sixth rank. However, the treatment skills of these people varied. Nevertheless, he was able to explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, from the analysis of the illness to the treatment plan. His explanations were more suitable for basic medical personnel than Yu Heng's unfathomable explanations.

Yu Heng was actually somewhat unconvinced, especially when he heard Ling Chengen praising a man he didn't like in his area of ​​expertise.

However, because the weather was too cold, more people were sick than usual. He only had two hands, so he was sometimes overwhelmed. Therefore, he still listened to Ling Chengen's advice.

He first examined Xuan Yan's medical knowledge and found that the top witch doctor family in Nan Yuan was indeed very systematic and rigorous in cultivating the abilities of its family members.

A doctor who is a wild witch doctor, who learns medicine by stealing it and testing it with the lives of many people, is much more suitable to teach to ordinary people.

However, he also has his own strengths.

Xuan Yan believes that he can treat many patients who seem beyond saving.

This is something that Xuan Yan can hardly achieve.

For example, Shi Panxing was sent to Shilin during the dry season.

If it were handed over to Xuan Yan, he would definitely issue a death certificate directly, then inform the family to save some trouble and not to bother the dying person, and just take care of his funeral arrangements as soon as possible.

After much deliberation, Yuheng finally decided to let Xuanyan train the shamans who lacked basic skills. Meanwhile, he also had Jiaojiao eavesdrop on him, and he himself worked overtime at night to secretly learn the medical skills of the shaman families.

One night when Ling Chengen went to visit him, he found his room brightly lit.

His house, which had always been a bare, unfinished dwelling, suddenly had a lot of things added to it.

For example, the wardrobe is made of natural wood, and in addition to the round table and stools for eating and drinking tea, there is also a desk specifically for studying.

Ling Chengen placed the mattress, quilt, and clothes he had brought over on his kang bed, which was only covered with an old, rough blanket. He reached out and touched the thin wooden board underneath, and said speechlessly, "Isn't the kang bed hot when you sleep on it? You don't even put a mattress on it."

Yuheng looked a little uncomfortable because she had caught him secretly learning the technique late at night and hiding in his room, fiddling around aimlessly. Standing by the bed, he turned his head and said, "I don't feel it's hot."

Seeing his half-dead appearance, Ling Chengen retorted, "...You're a pigskin."

She casually tore off the old animal skin blanket and threw it into his arms, then pulled out the cotton quilt piled in the corner and stuffed it into his arms as well.

I swept the dust off the kang bed, laid down another kang mat, and then put a coconut fiber-like mat on top. After that, I laid down the wool felt blanket that I had specially ordered from Zhilu, and also put on a cloud-patterned bed sheet.

After laying out the kang bed, she shook out the old cotton quilt in his arms, folded it again, and piled it on the inside of the bed. She then placed a new, thicker cotton quilt on top, along with two new animal skin blankets.

After finishing everything, she stood by the bed and looked around. Then she took out two very fluffy and soft fire crystal cotton pillows from her spatial storage and arranged them.

Yuheng didn't interfere at all, but stood diagonally behind her, watching her work intently.

For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to take his eyes off her, and a strange feeling seemed to well up in his heart.

Like the lid of a ceramic pot being pushed open by boiling water, making a loud gurgling sound, the hot water overflowed and scalded his delicate skin. For someone who was usually insensitive to pain, he suddenly felt pain beyond what his body could bear. A heat started to rise from his heart, and his emotions surged up, as if his tear ducts had been triggered, leaving his eyes somewhat disoriented.

Ling Chengen looked up at the sky and actually felt that the room was still too empty.

The room had a high ceiling, making it feel spacious and cold. But it wasn't really suitable to install curtains or anything like that now, so she didn't make a fuss about it.

Turning around, she saw Yuheng lost in thought. She tilted her head and asked in confusion, "If you don't need that old blanket in your arms, you can donate it. But remember to clean it beforehand so as not to add to the workload of the clothing recycling center."

Yuheng glanced at the blanket in his arms. He had used this blanket for almost ten years. He had forgotten which orc he had saved gave it to him. It had accompanied him through several harsh winters in the Northern Plains.

To be honest, he's not nostalgic, and he doesn't have any particular attachment to things or people.

I've never had the habit of preparing these things.

Even without these things, he could still live.

It's just that life won't be as comfortable as it is now.

At that moment, something seemed to quietly take root in his empty heart.

Like a swaying duckweed, it suddenly found suitable soil to settle on and felt a sense of security.

Even if he were to rot in the soil, he would not want to leave.

I want to make this place my final resting place.

Seeing him in a daze, Ling Chengen reached out and pulled the blanket from his arms to check it.

Actually, the fur blanket was very durable, but he didn't know how to take care of it, so the short fur on it looked a bit flat, and after being baked by the high temperature of the kang bed for a while, it looked really bad.

Ling Chengen thought he was reluctant to part with the animal skin blanket. Perhaps it was a gift from someone important, or it had some special meaning. So she planned to fold it neatly and place it on the inside of the bed for him.

As Yuheng was unfolding the blanket to fold it, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a corner. Composing himself, he smiled and said, "I don't know how to clean it. Just tell me how, and I'll take care of it in the next few days and send it to the clothing donation center."

"Where is that clothing donation center you mentioned? I've never seen it before."

Ling Chengen sighed, and together they folded the blanket together. He said gently, "The clothing donation center is newly opened. There's one near each community. It's painted ginger yellow and is a square box. You can only put things in, not take them out. Someone will come to collect them every day."

“A few days ago, Zhilu told me that recently a lot of clothes and quilts made of fire crystal cotton and rainbow cotton have been distributed, so there are a lot of discarded old fur blankets and clothes in the inner city's trash cans. Although these things are not in very good condition, they are still usable, just a bit dirty. Some orcs may be powerful, so they have no shortage of fur and just throw these things away.”

"Zhilu felt it was a pity, but if you clean it properly and tidy it up, it can still be used."

"So I set up a clothing recycling center and opened up a small trading market in the city that had been unused before, and set aside a special second-hand goods trading center. People who are reluctant to throw away their fur can take it to the second-hand market to see if they can exchange it for some other supplies."

After all, not all orcs live in good conditions.

Like the rat tribe, their hunting ability is poor, and they currently rely on winter supplies distributed by the beast city to survive. They don't have many resources at their disposal.

So in the past, orcs would often sneak up near the trash cans to retrieve old fur blankets and clothes.

After discussing it, Ling Chengen and Zhilu decided to distribute some recycled second-hand furs and clothing to low-income households in the city.

This still relies on reports from community staff and verification by staff at Chongzhen.

Once confirmed, the processed secondhand items will be delivered to the designated location.

Ling Chengen placed the blanket in the laundry basket in the corner and prepared to leave, not wanting to disturb him as he continued studying.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yuheng hurriedly went to the door, closed the door, and pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his body, tilted his head, and gently held her upper arm with one hand. Like a dragonfly skimming the water, he kissed her moist lips. It was a faint floral scent, with some very moisturizing beeswax and a hint of plant oils. It smelled like the lip balm he had made himself.

Ling Chengen didn't react much to the kiss, but leaned against the door and smiled, saying, "Not secretly working hard anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Yuheng stared at her for a few seconds, then bit her lower lip as punishment.

"Do you really want to see me make a fool of myself?" he asked.

Ling Chengen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I thought you still looked down on Xuan Yan."

Yu Heng curled his lip and snorted, "I don't like you mentioning him."

"Among your beast husbands, only I can be the one who knows medicine."

Ling Chengen was speechless. He poked Xiao Yu's forehead with his right finger and said, "Xiao Yu can do that too."

"He doesn't count; his medical skills are practically nonexistent."

“You’re quite selective in ignoring things.” Ling Chengen didn’t know what to do with his personality. He relaxed slightly and sighed, “Even though you don’t like to hear it, I still have to bring it up.”

"Can Xuan Yan's ability level keep dropping? Can it be cured?"

Yuheng picked her up and walked directly to the bed, saying casually, "With me here, what can't be cured?"

"It can really be cured? I thought there was no hope."

Ling Chengen took off his shoes, rolled onto the inside of the bed, and shook out the new quilt.

Yuheng took away the heavier clothes she was wearing and draped them over a chair. He then climbed onto the warm kang bed, burying half his body in the quilt that still smelled of fire crystal cotton. He sat with Ling Chengen against the headboard and reached out to squeeze her warm palm.

Yu Heng said quite frankly and straightforwardly, "I've never seen anything like this before."

"But even if it's difficult, it's related to two aspects: either there's a problem with your body, or there's a problem with your superpower."

“His situation is a bit tricky; he has problems with both his physical condition and his superpowers, which is why his superpower level keeps dropping.”

"It can be cured, but the treatment period is long."

"We need to take care of his body first, and then we can address the problem with his superpower core."

Yuheng leaned against her, pressing his body against hers, and placed his slightly cool feet on her calves. He sighed softly, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Ask it all at once. After you've said it, I don't want to hear any other names from your mouth tonight."

Ling Chengen was amused by his feigned resentment and expression. She reached out and scratched his side, laughing, "That's all, I'm done asking."

"You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"

Yuheng reached out and pulled her into the warm blankets, burying his face in her neck and shoulder. He said nothing more and slowly closed his eyes.

Ling Chengen reached out and patted him on the head twice, wanting to chat with him about other things, but found that his breathing had become long and even.

Is it completely asleep?

And he slept very soundly.

His room had always been dimly lit, but now, with many lantern plants climbing on the beams, it had become too bright, making it a bit too bright for him to sleep in.

However, this also made it easier for her to see Yuheng's sleeping face clearly.

Unlike his usual aloofness and arrogance, he was unusually gentle when he was asleep, his body instinctively curling up to hold her tightly.

Because the kang bed was quite warm, after sleeping for a while, a noticeable blush appeared on his fair face, and his breathing became slightly heavy, but it did not affect her.

Ling Chengen brushed the long hair wrapped around her neck aside, turned her head to look at the window sewn shut with felt, and struggled to turn over in his arms. She casually used the animal skin blanket next to her to block the glaring light from her eyes, and only then did she reach out and gently wrap her arms around Yu Heng's body, gradually falling asleep.
