107: First time talking to Da Bao

A movable pulley is one where the axle and the weight move together during use. A movable pulley is essentially a lever where the effort arm is twice the length of the resistance arm. It can save effort, but it cannot change the direction of the force.

A fixed pulley is one where the axle remains stationary during use. It can change the direction of the force but does not save effort, acting as an equal-arm lever.

To summarize in two sentences:

A movable pulley can save half the effort but does not change direction.

A fixed pulley can change the direction of the force but does not save effort.

By combining multiple movable and fixed pulleys into a pulley block, the required force will continuously decrease.

Fortunately, the wood in the Beast World is quite sturdy and can withstand the weight of this large stone.

As Nan Zhisui pulled the rope, causing the massive stone to move upward inch by inch, the surrounding beastmen all widened their eyes in shock.

“What is this?”

“I feel like that Female is moving it quite easily.”

“Heavens. I've never seen anything like this before.”

Once Nan Zhisui pulled the stone to the intended height, she tied the vine to a nearby large tree trunk. Then, she had Han Feng carry her up to the branch. She nudged the large stone and placed it steadily onto the branch.

Suddenly, a massive cheer erupted from the crowd of Bird Beastmen.

“So amazing! Heavens, you are so amazing!”

“Female, what is your name? Look at me, my muscles are strong and firm, and I am very hard-working!”

“Look at me, are my feathers beautiful?”

One by one, the Bird Beastmen began displaying their plumage to Nan Zhisui. They showcased themselves to one another, and many even started performing courtship dances directly for her.

This Female is very impressive. Han Feng's earlobes also turned slightly red.

Nan Zhisui began to feel a bit embarrassed.

The Bird Beastman Tribe had all sorts of birds, but none were this clever or handy. Moreover, her strength was so great that she could move such a massive stone onto a tree so easily!

The beastmen did not understand the principles of a pulley block, so they directly attributed everything to Nan Zhisui's great strength.

Strong, sturdy, and exceptionally beautiful.

This made her even more attractive!

Eagle Dream never expected that her attempt to make the other party look foolish would instead provide her with a chance to show off.

Seeing the shameless behavior of these Male Bird Beastmen, Eagle Dream was fuming with rage!

She truly couldn't stand to watch any longer, so she spread her wings and flapped away.

He Xian recounted everything that happened here to Huo Jun, and a great deal of interest rose in Huo Jun's heart.

He really wanted to see exactly what it was that this Female had made.

He had a feeling that this Female's strength might not be that great, but the thing she had created was the key.

What a pity... he couldn't see it. It was truly a pity.

Surrounded by the crowd of Male Beastmen, Nan Zhisui suddenly sensed a strange yet familiar aura. She turned her head and saw a cub only six years old not too far away.

The Fire Chi Eagle cub was tall; although Huo Jun was only six, he looked as if he were seven or eight.

His skin had a slight reddish tint, and his features were very handsome. He would definitely be an extraordinary, handsome Male when he grew up.

A faint smile hung on his face as he listened to the Crane Beastman's words, his expression holding a hint of yearning.

Nan Zhisui developed a huge curiosity toward this young cub.

After listening to everyone's discussions, Nan Zhisui had summarized the following information:

1. The first husband she had contracted back then might not have been an eagle, but a Fire Chi Eagle Male Beastman.

2. This Fire Chi Eagle Male Beastman should be the Lord of the Eastern High Mountains territory.

3. The cub she had with this Fire Chi Eagle had grown up and was also a Fire Chi Eagle beastman cub.

And the beastman cub before her, though he looked slightly older, was not far off.

Could he also be her cub?

Nan Zhisui asked Han Feng, “Lord Chi Xiao has a cub, right?”

Han Feng said, “Yes. My brother has already partnered.”

Han Feng's ears turned red as he spoke with hidden meaning. He intended to tell her that although his brother was very powerful, she didn't need to look at him, as he was already partnered. She could look at him instead.

Nan Zhisui's attention was not on that. She focused on Huo Jun and asked indirectly, “How old is Lord Chi Xiao's cub?”

Han Feng said, “He's six and a half.”

Six and a half... that was indeed the age of her first cub.

“Is something wrong with his eyes?” Nan Zhisui asked, looking in Huo Jun's direction.

Han Feng nodded.

Was the six-year-old Bird Beastman cub before her eyes really her Dabao?

Nan Zhisui's heart felt a pang of pain.

cubs born after taking a childbearing pill were prone to problems.

And her first cub had been born after she took a childbearing pill.

Was it because of the childbearing pill that Dabao couldn't see?

“I want to meet and talk with your Lord's Young Master, is that okay?” Nan Zhisui asked urgently.

Han Feng was a bit surprised but still said, “I'll go ask for you.”

Han Feng went over to talk to Huo Jun while Nan Zhisui watched them nervously.

Seeing Han Feng occasionally glance in her direction, Nan Zhisui felt a bit apprehensive.

At this moment, she actually didn't know how to face the Dabao she felt indebted to.

It wasn't until Huo Jun nodded and He Xian brought him before Nan Zhisui that she finally snapped out of it.

Her heart began to thud... her maternal instincts were actually not very strong.

During the time she was controlled by the childbearing system, throughout the entire process of pregnancy and childbirth, although she felt some guilt toward the tool-like beast husbands and cubs, it couldn't be called love.

After all, she was meant to leave, so she never dared to truly give her love.

But now, facing this beautiful but blind cub before her, many emotions welled up in Nan Zhisui's heart.

Guilt, regret, heartache... this series of emotions all stemmed from maternal love.

“Sister Nan. Sister Nan,” little Huo Jun called her softly.

Nan Zhisui came back to her senses and said, “Yes. You are Lord Chi Xiao's cub, your name is Huo Jun, right?”

The young boy curled his lips into a smile, his feather garment fluttering slightly in the wind. He nodded, “Yes.”

It was her cub.

It really was her cub.

An inexplicable atmosphere spread between the two, one large and one small.

She had failed him by not giving him a healthy body, yet he had grown up well. It was clear that the Bird Beastmen all treated him very well.

If he and Chi Xiao were both living well, she would just look at them. She... she wouldn't disturb their lives.

Huo Jun also sensitively sensed the unusual atmosphere between them.

He asked politely and respectfully, “May I ask you a question?”

Nan Zhisui said nervously, “Of course.”

“Just now... please don't misunderstand, I don't mean to find fault. It's just that when you pulled up that large stone, you didn't actually use only your own strength; you also used some... some techniques, right?”

Nan Zhisui was shocked by the cub's sharpness. she let out a soft, surprised laugh.

“Yes.”

After the six-year-old Dabao before her received her affirmative answer, a smile of 'as I thought' curled at the corners of his mouth.
