Chapter 132: Li Chunhua, the Animal Whisperer

The wooden bridge Li Chunhua was crossing quaked because of the weight she was carrying. Each one of the huge, four-meter-long crocodiles was around 500 to 650 kg, and every step she took produced creaking noises as if it would break any time.

Long Haoran, who was holding the two colorful chickens, stopped in his tracks and waited for his insane gang leader to pass the bridge.

As his eyes latched on the two large monsters trying to twist their bodies out of the delicate pair of arms, he regretted commenting about their porky texture. He couldn’t understand why this woman, who was so afraid of the crocodiles before, changed her attitude the moment he stated it was edible.

She became no longer afraid and even took her time amidst the rioting monsters to select the healthiest crocodiles amongst the pack to bring them back and raise them as livestock.

Is she not afraid to get eaten instead?

To make matters worse,

"Chef Long, guys, in the future, you can harvest pork from the crocodile pen and make delicious food out of it."

His brain stopped functioning at the word ’you’. Is she low-key implying that if she ordered pork dishes in the near future, he would be the one who wrestled the monsters instead?

He needed to pay back the debt as soon as possible because he had a nagging feeling that even dragons would be stuffed in her backyard, and his kitchen duties would not be limited to cooking but to being a dragon slayer too.

After Li Chunhua safely crossed the bridge, she unloaded the crocodiles on the ground.

The crocodiles, after regaining their freedom, tried to flee to the bridge, but Li Chunhua grabbed both of their tails with ease. "Stay still; I will make you a home." The crocodiles bellowed and hissed, threatening her to let go, earning them each a flick on their silver leathery heads.

Stars formed in front of their eyes as their HPs dropped by a large percentage.

[HP: 167/550]

[HP: 245/650]

_〆(´Д｀ )_〆(´Д｀ )

The crocs were dumfounded. There were tears forming in the corners of their eyes.

Damn, why does it hurt so much?

Siri regained his senses and hurriedly stepped back. "Master, what did you say? "

"Chef Long said they were edible, and so I want to raise them in a pen. Brother Siri, can you teach me how to build one? "Li Chunhua was very enthusiastic right now because she solved her meat supply problem.

After she raises these two and lets them multiply, then multiply again, then has them fattened, then won’t it be an endless meat paradise?

"Master, are you crazy? Just the jaws of these monsters will tear up the pen, and they will attack the residents if we let them inside. Even if we decide to raise them, who will take care of them? "

Li Chunhua blinks her eyes at the elf, indirectly answering his question.

Siri stared at her for a few seconds before mercilessly looking at the sky, making the lazy foodie switch her target to the Chef Long guy.

Long Haoran only needed to say one particular word: cook, and the foodie instantly shouldered all the responsibility of being the croc’s nanny.

After introducing the crocs, Li Chunhua pointed to the chickens on Long Haoran’s hand. "Brother Siri, the crocs also came with freebies."

Siri was beyond glad that the next livestock was normal.

[Colorful Myriad Bird Level 10: HP: 450/450

-Strength: 21; Defense: 24; Agility: 45; Intelligence: 21]

For a level ten monster, the colorful myriad bird was weaker by a large margin compared to its colleagues of the same level; that’s why it was included in the diets of several low-level carnivorous monsters, including the silver-back crocodile.

Siri recognized this monster because some indigenous tribes, who mainly rely on hunting from different planets, would raise them as the source of their food and often use them as trade for other commodities such as medicinal herbs, seasonal fabrics, and weapons.

Not all planets have rich land or natural resources. That is why clans sent their members in the hopes the summoned natives could help their clans through the monthly offerings, aka’mandatory salary’.

"Brother Siri, besides meat, we will also have eggs." Li Chunhua tied up the crocodiles’ mouths first before sharing the good news with the elf.

What eggs is Master talking about? The elf felt the need to explain.

"Master, this chicken is genderless. It will not lay eggs until it chooses to change its gender to a hen." The elf’s words poked the bubble of Li Chunhua’s omelet fantasy.

"What?" Li Chunhua’s mouth was wide open. Do chickens in this world have gender freedom?

Then what about the eggs? The egg drop soup, egg pudding, century eggs, stir-fried omelet, sunny side up, egg fried rice...

Huh? Long Haoran raised his brows and inspected the colorful chicken in his hand closely.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t continue his investigation because someone snatched the chicken from his hand.

"Be a hen. Be a hen. Be a hen! "Li Chunhua acted like an animal whisperer. She shook the chicken while chanting the mantra as if it were a gender-changing spell, until white foam flowed from the chicken’s beak and its head was titled to the side, appearing to pass out.

My bad. She ceased her actions immediately.

"Master, it will not change gender just because you ordered it to." Siri sighed, which made the foodie drown in sorrow.

Li Chunhua lowered her head and sniffed. The elf was uncomfortable and wanted to comfort her, but his master, who has a short attention span, lifted her head abruptly. Her sad expression was gone, and it was replaced by longing and expectation.

"Then I want chicken soup tonight! "

Chicken Soup?

The feathers of the dizzy chicken ruffled, and it let out a ’croo’. The red crown on its head vanished, and something warm and round dropped from its bum.

The trio’s eyes widened, staring at the rainbow-colored egg on the ground.

Taken aback, Long Haoran picked up the egg.

Li Chunhua quickly shifted her attention to the other chicken in Siri’s arms before repeating the chanting and shaking ritual of the animal whisperer. One more egg dropped and rolled on the ground.

After a few seconds, from two genderless chickens, she now has egg-laying hens!

"Now we have eggs every day! "Li Chunhua happily exclaimed, which relieved the two chickens from escaping the fate of being cooked into a soup.

Siri and Long Haoran: "..." I’m sorry, but their IQs have gone offline.

When the exotic livestock were smuggled into the territory, Fern and the others were in front of the warehouse, lining up to purchase supplies for their dinner. All of them worked on the quarry from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.; after that, they went to make bamboo and clay pipes.

Though it was tiring, knowing their efforts and hard work were not for naught, it was worth it because they accumulated points for supplies. If they repeat the cycle and save enough, they can also send back extra to their families.

"I want to buy rice, noodles, and one loaf of bread."

"Two meters of cotton fabric and a sewing kit, please. I want to sew clothes."

"Bring me that ham-canned ham, slippers, and a combat knife."

The natives, including Fern, became like children on their first shopping trip and enthusiastically skimmed the list.

Loli Elga snorted before catering to their purchases. She held the pen to write down the details of every transaction regarding the points spent and the list of procured items according to the handsome elf’s request to keep track of the inventory.

While the probationary natives were working, she wanted to take a nap since no one was monitoring her, but the elf, who had a built-in security camera, appeared out of nowhere and educated her with basic arithmetic and double journal entries.

The elf was so ruthless that even though she was pleading for a break from the mental torture, he kept spouting righteous anecdotes about education being the key to a successful life. Elga wanted to protest, but when the Elf asked about which life was the best—a scarecrow or an accountant—the pixie became an obedient student.

From Loli Elgas’ position, she could see the entrance, and she was the first to spot the two crocodiles.

She grabbed her axe and jumped over the table, sprinting towards the monster before heroically shouting, "Monster invasion!"

Monster?

Fern and the others were also shocked by the appearance of the crocodiles and grabbed their crude weapons.

The crocodiles were alarmed and stepped back.

Loli Elga leapt into the air and swung down her axe. The crocodiles didn’t stay idle and opened their mouths, producing frightening noises and was about to retaliate, but in the midst, a hand blocked the blade of the pixie’s weapon.

"What are you doing?" Li Chunhua seized the axe.

Elga couldn’t hold onto her weapon and was angry, "They’re monster, I need to kill them!"

Siri and Long Haoran just came in time to witness the two’s confrontation.

"Oh, they’re livestock. I will fatten them up first before killing."

Loli Elga, Fern and the others: ಠ_ಠ Huh?

In this world where strong was respected, Li Chunhua’s fist was bigger than the rest. Their silent protest were ignored and under everyone’s eyes, a foodie build her pen and tossed the unwilling crocodiles inside.

Once done, she asked the most important thing.

"Brother Siri, what do they eat?"

"Meat." The Elf replied watching the myriad of changes in his Master’s expression.

Meat? Wait, she’s raising them for meat but she needs to feed them meat first?

щ(゜ロ゜щ) Then, what’s the point?

Thus, a certain someone squatted down in front of the scared crocs and returned to her animal whisperer occupation and plucked leaves from the trees before chanting, "Be a vegan. Be a vegan!"

The crocs: (╬▔皿▔)╯(╬▔皿▔)╯

"You don’t want to?" Li Chunhua’s voice turned grim.

The two crocs immediately chomped down on the leaves and bellowed meh.

Li Chunhua smiled.

Siri: "..." I better go away. My IQ is in the risk of dropping.
