Chapter 40

Looking at the beastly husbands rushing over, Cheng Fu was stunned: "Uh...what happened?"

She was debating whether to return to the carriage.

Looking back, she saw Signus in the car looking out of the car, as if curious about what happened to her.

Suddenly, Cheng Fu's skirt was pulled, and her attention was drawn back. She found that the person pulling her skirt was not someone else, but Phil.

"Nothing, I just missed you." The first person to speak was Phil, the dog shark who always throws straight balls.

Even though Cheng Fu had turned around, Phil had no intention of letting go. Cheng Fu even suspected that if she turned around again, next time he would not just pull her skirt, but would pull her whole body into Phil's arms.

Cheng Fu smiled, took Phil's hand which was still pinching her skirt, and was led out of the carriage by him.

The others' eyes fell on her and Phil's clasped hands, their gazes like piercing thorns.

Phil's smile deepened, and if possible he wanted to raise his clasped hands above his head, as if declaring his victory.

Cheng Fu also saw the expressions of the other four people. Well, apart from Wen who was smiling and watching the show, there were only three people to be precise.

She glanced at them and asked curiously, "Phil is thinking about me, so, what about you guys?"

Even she was curious about what answers they would give.

"The female master has been riding in the same carriage with other males all the way. Isn't it natural for me to come and check it out first?" Xi Qiancheng's attitude was as righteous as his words.

Cheng Fu looked at him in surprise.

This guy finally stopped hiding in the darkness and staring at her, stopped playing the role of the resentful husband in the cold palace, and started to tell her what he really thought?

Xi Qiancheng did answer, but there were two other people.

Cheng Fu looked at Xiao Wanyi and Ying Xue: "Then what are you doing?"

The two of them, one is spoiled and the other is arrogant. Compared with others, neither of them is very straightforward, so Cheng Fu is really interested in how they will answer.

Ying Xue's eyes were dull, and she suddenly felt regretful for rushing forward rashly.

He had never heard of anyone being questioned in public after coming to pick up Cheng Fu! But now he was asked to pretend nothing happened and return... He was unwilling to do that!

Ying Xue stayed behind reluctantly, but gave Xiao Wanyi the chance to speak first, wanting to observe how he would respond.

Xiao Wanyi had a bad temper and couldn't hide what he was thinking. "You can't blame us for this! Without anyone watching, who knows what you'll do to the head priest!"

Although he said this, his tone was extremely sad.

Did they not want to follow? No, it was just that there was a limit on the number of people that could be accommodated in a carriage.

But there were so many of them that they could quarrel endlessly and waste time just fighting to ride with Cheng Fu.

In the end, Cheng Fu simply decided their ending: "Stop arguing, I'll sit with Signus."

When they heard this declaration, those who were still pulling each other's collars felt uncomfortable.

Cheng Fu smiled and asked them, "Will you quarrel again next time?"

Several people looked at each other, then at the sky and the ground, and finally they all said in silence, "Stop arguing."

What's the point of making things easier for others after a quarrel?

Finally, Ying Xue snorted coldly and said, "I just came to ask, what can I do for you during lunch time?"

Even though he was the toughest person in the whole body, he still performed as usual.

Cheng Fu didn't expose him: "It's time to prepare lunch."

The other priests and guards lit a bonfire on the spot and prepared some simple soup for everyone to drink with dried meat.

Cheng Fu directly assigned tasks to the beastly husbands.

"There's a river nearby, Phil will bring some fresh river food."

"Everyone, check if there are any lone behemoths around. Find some firewood. If the behemoth is difficult to kill, retreat quickly. Don't waste energy fighting."

"No problem." The five beastmen received the order and left.

Cheng Fu was left alone, and she was still thinking about what dishes she was going to cook later... Although she said cooking, in fact, it was just her who gave the order, and the beastly husbands would handle it properly according to her instructions. She rarely had the chance to do it herself.

Seeing that she was alone, a priest stepped forward and said to Cheng Fu, "Lady Goddess, it may be too late to go looking for food now. Why don't you eat with us?"

Giant beasts may appear at any time. In this situation, it is too difficult and dangerous to find food in the wild.

Not to mention getting near a river; even getting water there required extreme caution. How could fish and shrimp sit there and allow themselves to be caught when a giant beast inhabits it? Without spending an entire afternoon testing your patience with them, the catch you managed wouldn't even be enough to feed one person.

The priest was worried that Cheng Fu didn't want to trouble them and was too embarrassed to ask, so he took the initiative to invite her.

But Cheng Fu smiled and declined: "No, they are very fast."

If it weren't for the fact that they were still some distance away from the river, with Phil's skills, catching fish, river shrimps, etc. would only take a few seconds.

The priest didn't believe Cheng Fu's words, thinking they were just polite words. He wanted to persuade her again, but saw Phil coming back with a ball of water. "Is this enough?"

"That's enough!" Cheng Fu nodded in surprise.

With this amount, it’s enough for everyone present!

The priest turned around, wondering if he was joking. It had only been a short while. He turned his head and saw a giant water ball floating in the air.

He was stunned: "What, what is that?"

The water ball was as wide as a child's outstretched arm, but that was not the point. The point was that it was not an ordinary water ball. If you looked closely, you would find fish and shrimps in the water ball, and even snails sinking to the bottom, in considerable numbers.

The priests and guards present were stunned upon seeing this.

They had never thought that there was a way to catch river fish from the river!

Just as they were shocked, another voice rang out: "The firewood is ready."

Wen Gengting knew that he could mobilize the wood-related abilities, so even in the wilderness, they would not have to worry about the source of firewood.

Everyone in the group didn't know what to say about Cheng Fu and her team.

How come they can easily handle things that others consider difficult in a short time? But it is too early for them to marvel at it.

Footsteps were heard, and the other three people arrived late.

When the priests and guards thought that nothing else could shock them, they were stunned when they saw the three people coming over.

"Th-What is that?!"

"I'm a little late. There's a small, giant beast nearby. I've bled it and skinned it. I'm wondering how big you want it cut into for easier cooking."

Xi Qiancheng let a piece of raw meat float in the air first. Ying Xue also added some ice cubes next to the meat: "By the way, float my ice as well, so it won't spoil easily!"

Xiao Wanyi rolled up his sleeves and said, "Are you ready to start a fire? I'll be right there!"

In just a few minutes, not only were we equipped with a rich variety of ingredients and firewood, we didn't even have to worry about starting a fire.

When the others saw this, they were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless.
