Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Chapter 281: Beast Language Skill

The butler lowered his head. "It’s true. Bai Su hasn’t been on camera these past few days, but the livestream from their side shows that all the ferocious beasts in the Snow Country Imperial City now seem to be under her command."

"Those beasts seem a little different from the ones during the beast tide."

"They’re still fierce, but they don’t attack Beastmen. They even help the Beastmen... work."

A knot formed in Qin Nuo’s stomach. "Isn’t it pre-recorded? Are you sure it’s not a recording or a doctored video?"

The butler nodded. "I sent a scout in a helicopter to the Snow Country across the Abyss yesterday. It’s definitely not pre-recorded."

"The two or three thousand people in the Snow Country... they all survived."

He hadn’t even mentioned the most absurd part.

In this morning’s livestream, several giant eagles were helping transport goods from the fields, carrying the harvested food into the city.

Qin Nuo sank to the floor, dazed. "Could her superpower be controlling males, too? But I thought her superpower was a Healing Ability?"

The butler replied, "I’m not entirely sure about that."

He thought for a moment before adding, "Miss, we’ve all been focused on dealing with the beast tide. Now that it’s over, shouldn’t we start thinking about our food supply?"

He only thought of it because he saw the Snow Country livestream, where they were growing vegetables.

Outside of the Snow Country, the elites from every nation had gathered in Qin City.

With the beast tide, the Low-level Beastmen abandoned by other countries were likely all dead.

They now had nowhere to import food from.

They could only survive on the nutrient solutions and canned goods the females had brought with them.

But producing nutrient solutions and canned goods required processing massive amounts of raw food.

Take canned chicken, for example. A single 150g can required two or three whole chickens to produce.

It was manageable when there were people dedicated to food production, but now there was no one. They couldn’t sustain this level of consumption...

Still reeling from the perceived threat of Bai Su, Qin Nuo shot the butler an angry glare. "Are you telling me what to do? Who’s the Miss here, you or me? Maybe you’d like to have my position?"

The butler, long accustomed to her volatile temper, simply lowered his head. "I have overstepped, Miss."

Qin Nuo snapped irritably, "If we’re out of food, just have the Medical Alliance produce more. Aren’t things like nutrient solutions and canned goods easy to mass-produce? Why are you bothering me with such trivial matters? What do I have subordinates for? What do I have *you* for?"

The butler lowered his head even further. "My apologies, Miss."

Qin Nuo shot him a vicious glare before averting her gaze. "Get out! And don’t bother me with such trivial things ever again!"

The butler nodded hastily and backed out of the room.

Yan Qingya said, vexed, "Susu, you have no idea how much those birds and animals eat! Everyone’s furious, but they don’t dare to hit them."

Bai Su thought for a moment. "Most of the ones you’re talking about are carnivores. My guess is they’re starving."

Yan Qingya replied, "But they’re so huge. We don’t have any food to feed them."

Bai Su asked, "Do you remember how I had you take people to collect meat from the beast carcasses after the battle?"

Yan Qingya nodded. "I remember. We collected and stored all the fresh, good meat."

Bai Su explained, "Things are still too unstable. Whether we can survive a second or third beast tide is still uncertain."

’It all depends on the progress of my and my four Beast Husbands’ training. If we can’t hold the line, having children now would be too cruel.’

’She was confident in her own abilities, but that didn’t mean she was willing to gamble with the lives of children.’

Bi Yue scratched her head, nodding with partial understanding. "Oh, okay."

Bai Su continued, "Let’s put this matter on hold for now. Once things have settled down, I have a few drafts for new regulations that will need to be revised by specialists—ones concerning a marriage cooling-off period and a parental qualification exam."

Bi Yue was confused. "Huh? What are those?"

"It’s a bit complicated to explain right now," Bai Su said. "We’ll have a detailed meeting about it later."

Bi Yue nodded. "Oh... then that’s all from me."

Bai Ruxin spoke up. "Actually, my question is similar to Ayala’s. It’s mainly about the beasts. I don’t really understand—why are we keeping these animals?"

Bai Su explained, "If we allow them to return to the Abyss, they might become corrupted again and form the main force of a second beast tide. For now, we have to keep them in the city."

Lu Tingyan suddenly interjected, "If these beasts can be tamed, they would actually be an excellent combat resource."

The women looked at him. Matters of combat weren’t their strong suit, so they had nothing to add.

Bai Su quickly understood what he meant. "You mean... conscript them?"

Lu Tingyan nodded. "But the prerequisite is that we need someone who can communicate with the beasts."

Bai Su fell into thought for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

’System,’ she asked in her mind, ’are there any golden Skills for understanding the language of beasts?’
