Chapter 169: Fertilizer Regret.
Immediately, Luka and Azure’s hearts melted as they stared at Sunnie, who was forcing a teardrop.
"Don’t worry, you don’t have to work at all, let alone work alone. We’ll handle everything!" Luka said confidently.
Azure nodded. "Yes. Just take care of the sleeping Maren, and we’ll take care of everything," he assured.
Sunnie was still acting as she said, "You two might be kind enough to help, but I don’t know if the rest will listen."
Azure and Luka instantly turned to the other three husbands in a flash.
"What?" Eris asked.
"What are you staring at? Stay away from me. I’m not agreeing to any of your madness."
But Luka and Azure joined forces and convinced them all to work. They agreed against their will.
Eris sighed, folding his arms as he stared at Sunnie. "You owe me a kiss for this."
Sunnie smiled. "I’ll be waiting," she teased back with a wink.

Sunnie sat down again, watching as they took the fertilizer and began applying it to the land, following the chipmunks’ instructions.
It wasn’t overly complicated. All they needed to do was spread it around, and they did just that.
By evening, they were all done. As they walked out to meet Sunnie, she instantly placed a hand over her nose.
Maren was already awake in Sunnie’s arms. Maren too covered her nose as she stared at them. "Mama, monsters..."
Sunnie smiled as she stared at them. "Well, I guess the monsters sure do need a big bath, darling."
Maren nodded. "I’ll bath Papa!"
Sunnie smiled as she looked at them.
Eris stared at himself and rolled his eyes. "Now I regret volunteering."
"I’m never doing anything that female says again," Karl shook his head as he stared at Luka. "And never try talking me into it again."

The moment they arrived home that night, they all went to the bathing side of the stream to take their long, detailed baths.
Sunnie provided them with some fragrant flower scents they could apply after they were done.
Then Sunnie went to meet the others. She and the women proceeded to prepare the meal for that night while chatting about the hilarious experiences at the farm.
When Sunnie finished preparing the meal, she decided to get some clothes for her husbands and the rest.
She figured the others didn’t have much time to make clothes for themselves, so she decided to get some for them.
Luckily, one of her rewards from the system included new, neat clothes for her husbands, so they were settled. But she spent some heart coins purchasing appropriate clothes for everyone in the tribe as well—for the mouse beastmen, the lion beastmen, the chipmunks, and Little Black.
Sunnie had to bargain endlessly with the system before she got a discount and was able to make the purchase for all the clothing with 5,000 heart coins.
Sunnie decided it was a fair enough purchase—worth it. As long as everyone had brand new, pretty clothes, she was happy.
She first presented them to the women after they were done preparing dinner.
Everyone was surprised and shocked.
"This is... this is for us?" one was shocked.
Sunnie smiled. "Yeah. I got them for you all on our way back and decided it was the perfect time to gift you."
They accepted the clothing with broad smiles on their faces. "Oh, this is so beautiful... it’s made with such high-quality animal skin."
"It’s well-crafted, and the color is so solid too! It must have been made by the most skilled craftsmen out there."
Elza was overjoyed. "And you even have one for our little Mii? Oh, that’s so sweet of you. Thanks a lot."
Some women even began shedding tears.
"Why are you crying?" Sunnie was surprised.
They shook their heads as they explained.
"This is the first time someone has gifted us something this valuable... it means a lot to us," one said.
Another nodded and added, "We’re just extremely grateful to you. After coming here, you’ve only considered us and given us the best. We can’t thank you enough."
Sunnie smiled. "Don’t mention it. We’re a family now," she said. "So accept it."
Sunnie went to meet the men at the stream, who were still bathing.
"Why are you taking so long to bathe?" As soon as she arrived at the riverside, the beastmen immediately rushed into the water to hide themselves.
Sunnie smiled. "Why are you hiding? It’s not like I’m going to do anything." She scoffed. "Besides, my husbands shouldn’t be shy about showing off their bodies. I’m still going to see everything."
She teased as Karl glared at her. "Shameless," he said, sinking into the water.
Eris didn’t bother hiding. He was standing so that one could almost see his backside. The water covered up to his waistline. His V-line was so visible that it almost made Sunnie stare longer than she should have.
Eris smiled as he stretched out, showing off his muscles. He ran a hand through his wet red hair, then ran his hands down his muscles and into the water, moving them between his legs.
He stared at Sunnie with a smile. "If you’d like to take a bath, you can always invite me," he winked at her.
Zukka covered Little Black’s eyes as he struggled to see.
Little Black snapped at Eris, "Shameless. Go out and show off somewhere else. No one cares about your body!"
"It’s because you don’t have such a body, you little thing!" Eris snapped back.
Sunnie smiled, watching the two bicker. "Enough of the drama. I came to bring these." She offered them their clothes, which she had meticulously set aside.
They watched as she placed the clothing one by one, identifying who each was for. "All these are for you. A gift from me for a job well done. So when you’re done, come and get your clothes. Okay?" She flashed a smile at them.
They all stared at her, shocked.
