Chapter 102 The Female Master Won't Marry You

Jiang Xi looked at the little beastman and remained silent for two seconds.

Then, she poured some of the soup out of the large bowl, highlighting the noodles and braised beef, so he could eat it directly with his face buried in it.

"Do you want to eat at the table, or... on the floor?"

Jiang Xi asked him.

"On the table?" So asked, somewhat bewildered.

Clearly, he didn't know what a table was.

Jiang Xi smiled and pointed it out to him.

"Oh, this is it. This is the table, and this is the chair. We usually sit on the chairs and use the table to eat!"

As she spoke, Jiang Xi placed the bowl on the table, sat down in a chair, and gestured to him.

That's it.

A thoughtful expression appeared on So's large cat face.

He jumped onto a chair, braced himself on the chair with his hind paws and the table with his front paws, and bent down to reach for the food in the bowl.

It was clear that he had forgotten what he had just said about not eating.

The food in the bowl emitted a fragrance he had never smelled before. He swallowed hard and carefully took a bite.

Then, he began to wolf down his food.

A "woo-woo" sound came from his throat.

Like the satisfied sound a cat makes when it eats something delicious for the first time.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

They really do look like kittens, and they're kind of cute.

However, the lynx in front of us was by no means small; it was several times the size of an adult cat. With its limbs spread out, it subtly outlined lines of power, giving one a sense of the danger lurking within.

Jiang Xi rested her chin on her hand, watching the lynx eat, a maternal smile on her face.

Furry things are soothing, no matter where you are!

So when Lu Liufeng and Yi Yuexi returned, what they saw was the female master resting her elbows on the table, propping her chin up, and watching the lynx-like beastman eat with a smile.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Sole's ears twitched, and he quickly retracted his front paws that were propping up the edge of the table. He sat down in the chair, looking awkward and scared.

Jiang Xi turned her head and looked over, "You're back!"

Seeing the two looking at the lynx-like beastman, she felt guilty for a second and quickly explained.

"He knew we were going to the glacier and wanted to come and see if there was anything we could help with."

Um……

So I sat down and ate a bowl of potato noodles.

Lu Liufeng gave the lynx-like little beastman a scrutinizing look.

When he looked up at the female master again, his amber eyes had regained their gentleness.

"My lady, Yi Yuexi is back. Let's go."

Jiang Xi nodded.

She was about to stand up when she suddenly noticed that she hadn't eaten the little bit of potato noodles in her bowl, and she stopped abruptly.

We must not waste food.

But even if you offer her food, she can't eat anymore.

So she waved to Lu Liufeng.

After Lu Liufeng walked over, she whispered to him.

"Can you still eat? I haven't touched the potato noodles in my bowl."

A tiny bit, spread thinly on the bottom of the bowl.

But she really couldn't eat anymore.

Just as Lu Liufeng was about to agree, Suo's voice came from the side.

"I'll help the female eat!"

The sound was crisp and clear.

Yi Yuexi squinted and, before the lynx-like beastman could approach the female's bowl, reached out and picked up the small bowl of potato noodles.

"Suo, what kind of upbringing did you receive? Don't you know you can't just eat food meant for females?!"

It's one thing to come over for a free meal, but he even wanted to eat the potato noodles from the hostess's bowl!

Even if you're specifically looking for this kind of food, you shouldn't come here to eat!

So Gang quickly pulled his body back out, drooping his furry head, and whispered.

"I'm sorry."

"I...I can..."

He wanted to say that he could exchange food for it.

But then he realized that the glacier no longer allowed fishing, and his only way of finding food had been lost.

Yi Yuexi snorted.

"Go home after you've eaten! Don't try to freeload while we're not here."

"Yi Yuexi!" Jiang Xi quickly stopped him.

"What do you mean by 'free food and drinks'! I invited him in to eat, don't say such nasty things."

She never expected that a simple bowl of potato noodles would cause such a commotion; she should have known better than to invite Suo in.

Lu Liufeng looked at Yi Yuexi and shook his head.

"The female master has the right to decide who gets the food."

He didn't think it was right for the little orc to come to his house for a free meal, especially in winter when food was scarce.

But he also knew that Yi Yuexi's words would only anger the female master and make her feel sorry for the little beastman.

Yi Yuexi pursed her lips, snorted in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more, turning around to prepare her lunch.

At that moment, Suo's voice came softly from the side.

“Female servant, female servant, do not blame the beast-hunter at home for Suo’s sake, otherwise Suo will feel uneasy.”

"It's all So's fault. The female beastmen are right to curse So."

Lu Liufeng pursed his lips, his gaze on Suo becoming increasingly scrutinizing.

He always felt that what So said sounded... like those beastmen in the tribe who were incompetent yet always jealous and quarrelsome, causing chaos in their homes.

Yi Yuexi's fox-like eyes widened instantly.

Where did this vixen come from?! She's even more shameless than him.

Just as he was about to retort, he saw Lu Liufeng shake his head at him.

Normally, he wouldn't care about Lu Liufeng's expression, but for some reason, today, he swallowed his words back.

Perhaps it's because the arguments usually happen with the female master's beast husbands.

Today, however, we are facing the orc tribes outside of the beastmen.

Cunning orcs!!

At such a young age, before even taking human form, he already knows how to use these divisive tactics!

Jiang Xi didn't understand anything.

Fortunately, Yi Yuexi didn't speak at this moment, which only made the fire burn even more fiercely.

Otherwise, she might think that while Suo is a sensible little beastman, she also thinks that Yi Yuexi is unreasonable.

Jiang Xi smiled and said.

"Your brother Yi Yuexi is straightforward and has no bad intentions, so don't take it to heart."

She bent down and patted the head of the dejected lynx-like little beastman.

"Alright, enjoy your noodles. We're heading to Rehe Valley, so we won't stay with you."

Lu Liufeng tried to stop the female master from touching the little beastman, but it was too late.

He could only suppress his actions and pretend that nothing had happened.

If it were a smaller beastman, it would be fine if the female master patted his head or something.

But Suo is almost ready to take human form, and it seems he's close to being able to choose a female master.

At this time, only females who are willing to marry him will show interest in getting close to him.

If he is willing to marry, he will also show a submissive attitude and allow the female to caress him.

So raised its fluffy head, opened its big cat eyes, and said obediently.

"Go quickly, female messenger, don't worry about the rope."

Jiang Xi smiled, finding him adorable, and ruffled his hair again.

After she finished massaging, she turned her head away.

"Lu Liufeng, let's go."

Lu Liufeng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he spoke.

"Mistress, aren't we going to spend the night in the Jehol Valley? Shouldn't we pack some animal hides for sleeping over there?"

Jiang Xi exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

"How could I have forgotten about that!"

As she walked out, she said to Lu Liufeng.

"I'm going back to collect my animal hides, you collect yours too."

Lu Liufeng nodded with a smile.

But instead of immediately returning to his own room, after the female master left, he lowered his eyes and looked at the innocent-looking lynx cub sitting on the chair.

The gentleness in Lu Liufeng's amber eyes faded, replaced by a sharpness that belonged to an eagle.

He spoke in a calm voice.

"So, the female master is not aware of the marriage customs among the orcs. She touched you because she thought you were cute, not because she wanted to marry you."

I hope you understand.
