Help may be needed.

You may not like it, but your harem would have infinitely more experience with hunting or dealing with Dryads and Spriggan then you do. Anyway, its not asking for help from your inferiors if they don't have a choice... Right?

You send one last glare at those slutty mermaids that populate the sea before reaching your home and dropping the lumber off. You instantly look towards the elf that you had assigned the role of teaching you to speak. You grab her with a tentacle without warning and drag her over. "Sssssssea Ssssshellsssss." You hiss out, trying to convey your desire to learn more words.

You needed to make things clear to your harem if you wanted to hunt those plants and plow their asses, so you needed to be able to speak. Your thought process is interrupted by the elf. "What do you want to learn?" She asks, disinterested.

You begin gently stroking her cock with a tentacle, as a way to reward her for her submissive response. You then try to convey hunting plants with your tentacles.
