The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 To Eat Meat

Feeling cheerful?

Cheerful my ass!

This godforsaken, uninhabited planet, and I still have to pay?

Nian Shutong vented all her complaints as she chopped down the trees.

“Crack, crack, crack… over twenty thousand! Is farming this easy?”

“Snap, snap… just sold some corn, and now I’ve gotta empty my pockets again!”

“Crack, crack… no wonder the Housekeeper was so eager to give out money; he knew he wouldn’t stay!”

“Crack, chomp… They think they can bully me because I don’t know the law, right? When I get back, I’ll have that sickly lad memorize the entire law book!”

Nian Shutong finally stopped her labor, standing there and looking at the several big trees she had felled.

“Gotta make money first, can’t wait for the crops to grow,” thought Nian Shutong. Despite her outburst, her mind was still clear. @@novelbin@@

“Daodao?”

“Master, I’m here.”

“Go on the Star Network and see if there’s any suitable work for us to make money?”

“Yes, Master!”

After arranging this, Nian Shutong stopped chopping and felt that eating corn all the time was not enough; she needed more energy.

She walked toward the wilderness, crossing the cornfield and then a patch of grass, which was more than a meter tall.

With the small iron shovel provided by the system, Nian Shutong began parting the long grass slowly as she advanced.

“Gobble, gobble…”

Something unknown suddenly flapped its wings and took flight.

The shovel in Nian Shutong’s hand whizzed out and hit the fluttering target dead on.

She sprang forward agilely, reaching the struck target in two bounds.

“Phoenix? Shrunken?” Nian Shutong recognized mostly ancient animals.

“Master! Master! It’s not a Phoenix; this creature is called a wild chicken. Its meat is tender and delicious, very tasty,” Daodao, rich in knowledge now that he had absorbed the spirit of the planet, immediately provided Nian Shutong with enlightenment.

Tasty?

Nian Shutong was pleased; she desperately needed food right now.

This ignited a fire in Nian Shutong, opening up her meridians. She started to communicate with Daodao, letting him help her identify which animals were good to eat; eating meat was definitely better than eating veggies.

“Master, wild ducks, edible.”

Shoot!

“Rabbits, edible!”

Shoot!

“Bird eggs, edible.”

Climb a tree, take.

“Master, the bird’s mother is back!”

Nian Shutong, delighted with her haul, looked up to see a giant bird casting a shadow like a cloud overhead.

“What the hell is that!” Nian Shutong first put the eggs back, then spun around, leaping to the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh…

“Dammit! What kind of creature shoots arrows!” Nian Shutong somersaulted, narrowly avoiding the Ice Arrows shot from the Big Bird’s mouth.

As she tumbled, Nian Shutong gathered Spiritual Energy in her palms and, during her flip, shot it toward the Big Bird.

“I’m returning your eggs!”

“Boom—” The Spiritual Energy clashed with the ice orbs spat out by the Big Bird, resulting in a thunderous roar.

“Pretty tough!” Nian Shutong didn’t linger for a fight, mainly because she felt she couldn’t win. She retreated, planning to return later for a rematch.

She quickly dove back into the tall grass, throwing out a few smoke-like poisonous gases, which immediately obscured her from the Big Bird’s view.

“Screech—”

An angry shriek tore through the sky, the reverberations reaching the small wooden house.

In the small wooden house, Fu Yunhe was drinking water when the Big Bird’s cry startled him into choking.

“Cough, cough—cough, cough—” Fu Yunhe patted his chest, but he lifted his head up high, gazing in the direction of the sound.

A Fierce Beast?

Makes sense; Blue Star is riddled with poisonous plants, the rate of Fierce Beast births here is a bit higher than elsewhere.

This realization darkened Fu Yunhe’s eyes with a hint of danger. The Nian Family really wasn’t leaving any way out for the two of them!
