Chapter 78 The Female Master's Popsicles Taste Better

Lu Liufeng was slightly taken aback.

Then, his amber eyes lowered, he looked down, and took a bite with a smile.

The taro paste was soft and fluffy, the honey was sweet, and the cool sensation slid down his throat and into his stomach. It tasted better than any food he had ever eaten.

"It's delicious."

Jiang Xi looked up at him, and when she met his gentle eyes, she chuckled.

"With more ingredients, we can make so many more delicious dishes!!"

Lu Liufeng smiled and said, "Okay."

Mu Ling gritted her teeth and chewed the popsicle as if it were Lu Liufeng!

Yi Yuexi sat in a chair, eating popsicles around the fire pit. They were delicious, but tasteless.

Only Hollen managed to taste a bit of it, and commented on it.

"This popsicle would be very popular if it could be made in the summer."

Even though he doesn't like sweets, he found it had a unique flavor.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he received piercing stares from Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi.

Hollen touched his nose.

He glanced at the dishes on the table and spoke directly.

"My lady, the food is getting cold. Let's eat first."

Lu Liufeng realized what was happening and quickly replied.

"Let's eat first, then we can have popsicles."

Jiang Xi took only one bite, then thought she should eat first, so she put the popsicle on a bamboo tray and prepared to take it outside to freeze.

However, before she could even lift a finger, Mu Ling very perceptively took it out for her.

Jiang Xi let out a soft hum in her heart.

At least you have some sense!

Jiang Xi sat down, looked at the sumptuous lunch on the table, and then glanced at the beastmen.

"Have you finished eating? Would you like some more?"

Hollen held up the popsicle in his hand. "I'll just have a popsicle."

Yi Yue was so full of breath that she couldn't eat anything more.

He raised his fox-like eyes and looked at Lu Liufeng with a sarcastic tone.

"Lu Liufeng made us a huge pot of potato noodles!!"

Blanching it in boiling water and then taking it out—anyone can do that!

They even cut the braising liquid and beef themselves!

Otherwise, Lu Liufeng would probably make them eat potato noodles on the spot!!

They really treated them like cursed beasts!

Jiang Xi scratched her head, not understanding what he meant. She assumed they were full from eating potato noodles and stopped being polite.

She rubbed her chopsticks together, looked at the dishes on the table, and her appetite was whetted.

"Let's dig in!"

The steak was tender, the lamb slices were dipped in sauce, the purslane salad helped cut through the richness, and the mashed corn and potatoes were soft and delicious...

As she ate, Lu Liufeng cut her another plate of braised beef.

Jiang Xi chewed and chewed, puffing out her cheeks, and thanked him in a sticky voice.

Thank you~

Lu Liufeng sat to the side, his elbows resting on the table, his chin propped up, watching the female master eat with tender eyes.

Seeing how much the female master was enjoying her meal, he felt his heart was filled with contentment and satisfaction.

After finishing his popsicle, Hollen felt he really should go back inside and rest for a while.

He stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. Contact me if you need anything."

Jiang Xi nodded.

Lu Liufeng looked over and nodded.

Yi Yuexi stared blankly at the fire pit, offering no response whatsoever.

Hollen walked out.

However, this time, he stopped again after walking outside the kitchen.

because……

"Mu Ling, what are you doing!"

Hollen walked over and patted Mu Ling, who was squatting in the snow.

In these extraordinary times, such furtive behavior must be taken seriously.

But as soon as Mu Ling turned around, he knew he shouldn't have taken that picture.

Mu Ling was secretly licking an ice pop when she turned around and saw him, and she was stunned for a moment.

Hollen glanced at the other intact popsicles and knew without a second thought that the one Mu Ling was holding was the one the female master had bitten.

"cough."

Hollen clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, and coughed.

Just as he was about to say, "Go on," Mu Ling, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up, glanced quickly at the fire room, and then pulled him into a blind spot in the fire room's view.

Mu Ling held up the popsicle, her wolf-like eyes narrowing as she threatened him.

"Don't tell the mistress!"

Hollen almost rolled his eyes.

But out of courtesy befitting a member of the Great Beastman race, he calmly nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't tell the female master."

Seeing Mu Ling's doubtful expression, he added, "I promise."

Hollen slapped Mu Ling's hand away and straightened his clothes.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest. You can continue."

Mu Ling let go of him, muttering, "Continue what? I'm just eating an ice pop..."

Although the female protagonist had eaten this popsicle...

Thinking of this, Mu Ling felt a sweet sensation in both her heart and mouth.

The popsicle that the female protagonist bit into was sweeter than his!

Hollen shook his head and went back inside.

He couldn't understand it.

When Mu Ling returned to the kitchen, she had returned to normal.

But Lu Liufeng still noticed that he seemed to have been gone for a while.

However, it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't pay any more attention to it.

But when the female protagonist finished lunch, he went out to get her an ice pop and found that the one she had eaten was missing. He immediately guessed what had happened.

He reluctantly took a new one inside and handed it to the female master.

Jiang Xi asked in confusion, "Where's mine? It's still edible, don't waste it."

Mu Ling's ears perked up involuntarily as he heard Lu Liufeng say something.

"It fell in the snow, got muddy and dirty, so I threw it away."

For some reason, Mu Ling felt a little regretful.

Why didn't they expose him?

If the female lead exposes him, she'll definitely slap him, right?

Jiang Xi took the new popsicle, and before eating it, she couldn't help but say something.

"You can wash it again and eat it next time, no need to throw it away."

It's understandable that Lu Liufeng wouldn't let her eat dirty food, but she wasn't that particular about it.

Moreover, food is precious here, so it's best to be frugal if possible.

Lu Liufeng glanced at Mu Ling with his amber eyes, then said okay.

Jiang Xi sat by the fire pit, happily sucking on an ice pop.

Snowy day, fire pit, popsicles.

They live like gods!

Lu Liufeng also took an ice pop and sat down to eat with her.

Jiang Xi, Lu Liufeng, Yi Yuexi, and Mu Ling sat around the fire pit, eating popsicles together.

What should have been a lively scene suddenly became somewhat quiet for some reason.

Jiang Xi didn't notice at first, but later, in the quiet, two undeniable gazes came from the side.

She looked over and met the gazes of Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi, then hesitated for two seconds.

"Is...is something the matter?"

Caught peeking, Mu Ling blurted out a question without thinking.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Xi looked at the half-eaten popsicle in his hand and gave him a strange look.

"Aren't you eating?"

The moment Mu Ling spoke, she realized what she had said.

He was somewhat annoyed, but seeing the female master asking him, he once again spoke without thinking.

"The female master's tastes better than mine."

Jiang Xi: "?"

She quickly bit into the popsicle and turned towards Lu Liufeng.

He looked as if he was afraid Mu Ling would try to take it away.

Yi Yuexi burst out laughing.

"Mu Ling, if you continue like this, you might get kicked out by the female master."
