Chapter 56 The Female Mistress Must Stand Up for Me!

After drinking the water and calming down, Hollen sat back down in his chair.

This time, he learned what spiciness meant and mastered the method of eating it without choking on it.

Although his throat was still dry, itchy, and burning, he still picked up some meat from the spicy hot pot.

For some reason, it tasted inexplicably delicious, making him unable to stop eating it.

Inside the kitchen, only the sound of people eating meat could be heard for a moment.

People prefer spicy hot pot to pork bone soup.

The process of cutting the meat, watching it closely, and scooping it out is all done in one smooth motion!

But among them, Mu Ling is the fastest.

He would often make two or three scoops before someone else could make one.

After failing to get what she wanted several times, Yi Yuexi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Have you not eaten for days?!

Mu Ling snorted coldly.

"If you're not good enough, don't blame me."

Jiang Xi had already eaten about half full. By this time, the beef ribs, lamb ribs, and beef bone marrow were all grilled.

She asked Lu Liufeng to cut a piece for her.

Lu Liufeng gestured with his fingers, "Is this wide enough?"

Jiang Xi's dark eyes sparkled, "A little smaller! I can't eat that much!"

The wind blade flashed past, instantly slicing her into the size she desired.

Jiang Xi sighed inwardly once again, thinking how wise it was to choose Lu Liufeng as her beast husband!

She's elegant enough to grace a formal occasion, skilled in the kitchen, and can even fly!

Everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation is available!

After Lu Liufeng divided out the portion that the female was going to eat, in order to avoid everyone fighting over the food, he divided the remaining portion into four equal parts and handed them to the other three beastmen one by one.

Three bowls were held out at the same time, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same: they wanted to eat!

Hollen was initially a bit reserved, but later he let go of his Great Beastman identity and joined the ranks of the foodies.

The animal hides were thick, the chili peppers were spicy, and they were right next to the fire. Apart from Lu Liufeng and Yi Yuexi, Mu Ling and Huo Lun were sweating profusely from the heat.

Hollen wiped his sweat, then stood up and took off the animal skin.

As Jiang Xi was gnawing on a beef rib, she was surprised to notice that Huo Lun was wearing a white, slightly wrinkled fabric underneath, which looked to be of good quality and accentuated the man's broad shoulders, narrow waist, and muscular physique.

Hollen noticed her gaze and offered an explanation.

"This cloth was woven by the Spider Clan in the Giant Tree Forest. After spring, some nomadic beastmen should be able to transport it out, but the cloth is very popular and may not reach the Lion Roar Tribe."

After two meals, Hollen had already gotten used to the female master in front of him whose personality had changed drastically.

Knowing that she didn't have those feelings for him, he was willing to communicate with her calmly.

"The Spider Clan?"

A large black spider appeared in Jiang Xi's mind, and she felt something was very strange about it.

Shouldn't silkworms be the ones weaving cloth?

However, she had never heard of any silkworm beastmen.

Spider... So this cloth must be very effective at defense, right?

After all, in her mind, spiders were creatures that wove webs to hunt, not webs to make clothes.

It's weird, but it's also quite novel.

Lu Liufeng saw that the female master wanted it, so he said.

"After spring arrives, all the females in the tribe will go to the Giant Tree Forest to borrow the power of the Mother Tree of Life to purify the curse. I will take the female there and bring food and animal hides to exchange for cloth."

Mu Ling: "Flying isn't suitable in the Giant Tree Forest. I'll take the female master there myself."

As he spoke, he stood up and, feeling so hot, took off the animal skin covering his upper body.

But once he took it off, there was no fabric underneath to cover him.

His well-defined muscles were on full display, with large abs and V-lines that disappeared into the animal skin hanging around his waist, making him look very sexy.

Yi Yuexi gave him a disdainful look, then waved her hand, causing a localized snowfall to fall on him.

Mu Lingben's sweaty skin turned bright red from the cold in an instant. He quickly wrapped the animal skin around himself and said angrily.

Are you crazy?!

"Yi Yuexi! After you finish eating, come with me to the mountains for a fight!"

Jiang Xi silently turned to Lu Liufeng, turning her back to the two childish devils.

Fortunately, this time, Yi Yuexi stayed far away from her; otherwise, she would probably have hidden behind her again, just like she did this morning.

Lu Liufeng noticed that the female master had turned around, and his amber eyes lowered in confusion.

Jiang Xi pouted and winked at him, "You two are such childish devils."

Lu Liufeng couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly stopped himself and changed the subject.

"Does the mistress wish to eat anything else?"

Jiang Xi suppressed a laugh, "Let's add some purslane and shepherd's purse to the pork bone soup. We've eaten too much meat, it'll help cut through the grease."

Lu Liufeng: "Okay."

At that moment, Yi Yuexi's voice arrived as scheduled.

"My lady! Mu Ling is going to hit me again! My lady, you must stand up for me!"

Jiang Xi: I can't hear anything.

Lu Liufeng raised his long eyes and looked over.

"In that case, why don't you two have a fight?"

Hollen watched the commotion for a while, then, with a slight smile, he chimed in, "I think it's a good idea."

Yi Yuexi rolled her eyes.

"I won't fight."

Mu Ling's ability is both melee and speed, making her the perfect counter to ranged abilities like his.

Although he loves watching the excitement and doesn't mind making things worse, when it comes down to it, he knows the situation better than anyone else.

Upon hearing his words, Mu Ling snorted coldly and dismissed the matter lightly.

"Don't mess with me if you're not going to fight!"

Jiang Xi blinked.

I couldn't help but think to myself, Mu Ling is so easy to coax...

It didn't even qualify as coaxing before it went out?

Mu Ling picked up a piece of leafy greens with his chopsticks and was about to hand it to the female master when he saw her with her back to him, being intimate with Lu Liufeng.

He was so jealous that he scooped all the leafy greens into a brand new bowl.

He put the bowl aside and ate only meat, refusing to eat vegetables, glancing in the direction of the female master as he ate.

He refused to believe that the female master wouldn't turn around!

Lu Liufeng glanced at him helplessly and then cooked another batch of leafy greens.

Then, just as Lu Liufeng reached out to scoop it up, Mu Ling quickly scooped it back into the bowl.

He'd like to see when the female master will finally notice him!

Lu Liufeng: "..."

He knew that with Mu Ling's temper, if she cooked a few more dishes, he would use his speed ability to clean them all up, so he could only lower his eyes and look at the female master.

"My lady, Mu Ling has picked some leafy greens for you."

Jiang Xi turned around, somewhat bewildered.

The next instant, a blurry image appeared, and a large bowl full of leafy greens was placed in her palm.

Mu Ling said smugly, "Please eat it while it's hot, Mistress."

Jiang Xi looked at the overflowing dishes and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"There's too much, I can't finish it."

Mu Ling: "Give me what you can't finish!"

All right.

Jiang Xi, holding the bowl, moved closer to him.

"I'll peel some for you."

Mu Ling stretched out her bowl with a smug look, and even gave Lu Liufeng a provocative glance.

It's as if it's saying: See, the female master still loves me!

Before Lu Liufeng could speak, Yi Yuexi could no longer contain herself.

He raised his hand and initiated a second wave of localized snowfall.

Mu Ling's neat gray hair was instantly frozen into ice crystals.

His wolfish eyes darkened, and after the female master put the bowl away, his phantom image flashed and he instantly disappeared into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Yi Yuexi, caught in the wind and snow, rushed out of the fire room.

The three people inside the kitchen all looked out.

The snowstorm quickly obscured the figures of the two childish kids. Jiang Xi, Lu Liufeng, and Huo Lun exchanged glances.

Just then, Yi Yuexi's voice came from afar in the backyard, accompanied by the howling of wind and snow.

"My lady, save me—"
