After Becoming a Monster Cub Keeper, I Became the Top Star in the Immortal Realm

The Hundred Beast Garden was tragically ransacked by enemies, leaving only two young immortal attendants at the gate and a few monster cubs. Zhao Xixiang, a world-class chef, was summoned as a dest...

Chapter 4: Wash your paws before eating.

There are no trainers in the Beast Garden, and they don't know any techniques. When will they ever break through?

Shan Shan, the second oldest crow spirit, had transformed into a three-year-old boy, but his arms and legs remained in the shape of crow wings and claws.

He dipped his wing into the basin of water, and the water immediately became dirty, with several fallen crow feathers floating on top, as if he were trying to shake them off.

Zhao Xi tried to quickly hold him down and took a dry cloth to wipe his feathers clean: "Hey? What did you eat this morning?"

Shanshan raised her head proudly, lifted her still-unformed, tender yellow bird feet, did a split in the air, nimbly brought them to her mouth, and opened her mouth: "Use your JIOJIO to grab the spoon~~ Ah~~"

Zhao Xi thought, "Hey, don't lick your toes! You can't use your penis to eat, that's for walking! Go back to your original form and peck at your food~ Don't develop this habit, you won't be able to change it later."

"Okay~" Shan Shan suddenly transformed back into a crow and flew down onto the table.

The little crow, Jingmei, is still young and cannot maintain her human form for long, but she is quite obedient and well-behaved.

Hearing Zhao Xi say this to Shan Shan, she followed suit, transforming herself back into a mini black crow, dodging the water basin, and following after them.

Zhao Xi wanted to continue greeting the three Firelight Beast siblings behind her.

The three of them huddled together timidly, looking at the basin of water with fear, but dared not wash their paws.

The three Firelight Beasts can only maintain their humanoid form for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea; they spend most of their time interacting with everyone in their original forms.

They have bright red fur that turns yellow towards their heads and necks. They're plump and fluffy to the touch, and the tips of their tails are shiny. When playing hide-and-seek, as long as you don't show your tail, you might be able to hide inside a pile of sweet potatoes.

It is said that when their spiritual power is abundant, the tip of their tail can ignite into a small flame, which can light things and is even more useful than a tinderbox.

"Should we wash our hands too?"

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

"We hate water! Our tails are cold now that the fire is gone..."

Zhao Xi seemed a little tired, but she didn't let them see it on her face. She still smiled and said, "It's okay. You are demon beasts, so you won't be extinguished by ordinary spiritual springs. I'll wash your paws for you, and I won't touch your tails."

Big Brother Potato looked at the gentle smile of the mortal sister with his rat-like eyes, and was somewhat tempted to give it a try, but Firelight Beast was timid by nature and did not dare to take the step.

Zhao Xi reached out her hand to him, encouraging him: "Come on, let me lead the way."

Shumi jumped into her arms.

Zhao Xi wanted to use a cloth dampened with water to wipe his front paws.

The Firelight Beast usually crawls, and its paws are covered in dust and dirt.

She carefully washed the claws clean and dried them with a cloth, her movements very gentle.

The second brother, who was also named Sweet Potato Oil, and the third brother, who was named Sweet Potato Salt, watched eagerly. When they saw how gentle the mortal sister was, they became bolder. After the eldest brother washed his paws, they jumped into Zhao Xixiang's arms one by one.

Among the eight cubs, the puppy cubs are the youngest and are still in the stage of demon beasts. They don't even quite understand Zhao Xi's instruction to let them wash their hands. They lie on the edge of the basin and lick the water to drink, completely confused.

Zhao Xi wanted to hold him in her arms and decided to feed him herself.

The little dragon was the last to arrive. He glanced at the water basin and then tried to walk into the cafeteria.

"Hoshino, come and wash your hands."

"I won't wash it!"

"Milk pudding is only for well-behaved children!"

Hoshino turned back with a haughty look on her face and squatted down in front of the basin to wash her paws.

Today we ate stir-fried venison and chive blossoms, and our staple food was a potato-like food dug from the roots of a spiritual plant.

The demon beasts' palates were even more refined than those of human gourmets, allowing them to fully appreciate her dedication to the food. Because of her excellent cooking skills, they even started eating a lot of spiritual plants they didn't normally like, and after only two days of this, their fur seemed to have become shinier than before.

Despite the great sense of accomplishment, Zhao Xi thought it was still too tiring.

Taking care of so many babies at the same time, and having to do everything myself, is really exhausting.

She prepared a meal for the children, and after they finished eating, she was so tired that she wasn't even hungry anymore.

It took her a lot of effort to persuade the children one by one to go back to their new room, wash up, change their clothes, and go to sleep. Only then did she have the energy to eat some food casually.

Why haven't those two little fairy boys arrived yet?

She was a little worried.

Carrying the spirit stone lantern, they walked down the mountain.

She hadn't gone far when two little fairy children walked towards her.

The Wind Fairy's arms were gone, her sleeves empty, with wind blowing inside. The Earth Fairy had become a clay puppet, half-shattered, her face covered in dust, but she could blink. Her arms had turned into vines, binding herself to the Wind Fairy's back.

The spirit stone lamp is fluorescent blue.

As darkness fell, the two little fairy children, missing limbs and with white hair and youthful faces, looked like ghostly dolls that had floated out of the mountains when illuminated by the fluorescent blue light.

"Waaaaah...you...how...where's your arm? Waaaah...A-Tu, you only have half a arm left..."

Zhao Xi was so frightened that she dropped the lantern to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, we'll heal on our own in a little while!" Little Fairy Wind said hurriedly.

The two little fairy children left behind in the Hundred Beasts Garden are not actually cultivators, but rather magical treasures refined from the essence of the mountain.

The founding patriarch combined the mountain-suppressing stone with the souls of two inner disciples. The method seemed illogical and quite cruel, but it was a common practice in the immortal realm.

These two departed souls cannot be reincarnated; as long as the mountain-suppressing stone remains intact, they will forever guard this mountain. Even if their bodies are shattered into pieces, they can be reassembled.

That's so cruel!

Zhao Xi tried to help the two into the house, sighing, "No wonder you didn't run away, but stayed here guarding the monster cubs. Sigh, if I could carry the Mountain-Suppressing Stone with me, could you come on a trip with me?"

"It's alright, we're used to it. Actually, there are demonic beasts roaming outside the mountains of many sects. Outer disciples have low cultivation levels, and if they want to survive, many have to stay in the sect for a hundred years until they learn to fly on a sword."

Feng Xiaoxiantong's hands hadn't grown back yet, and he was using the wind to blow the magic weapon around to examine it. Hearing her kind concern, a smile appeared on his tender face. "The entire mountain we are standing on is the mountain-suppressing stone. As long as we reach the Integration Realm, we can move the whole mountain. But the feng shui of this place is too good, and we don't want to leave."

After asking about the spiritual plants and elixirs they used to recover and heal, Zhao Xi picked up a spatula and started cooking.

"No need for you to trouble yourself, mortal sister. We are practicing fasting and do not need to eat. Please put the Mystic Wind Pearl in the empty brocade box and plant the Fern Pearl Flower in the pot on the windowsill..."

Before Feng Xiaoxian could finish speaking, Zhao Xi had already quickly prepared two bowls of food and placed them on the table.

Xuanfengzhu Milk Rice Porridge.

Sweet and sour fern flower salad.

Zhao Xi wanted to hand them the chopsticks and spoons, and said with a smile, "Eat up."

The two little fairy children had complicated expressions: "..."

What kind of culinary disaster is this?!

They've cultivated immortality for thousands of years; today they've truly had their eyes opened!
