Chapter 39 Speed Without Thinking
Even though the female protagonist had a dark, black face.
Looking into those large, clear black and white eyes, Mu Ling inexplicably felt that the female lead was so cute!
His fingers were incredibly itchy.
As a speed-type orc, his hands often act before his brain.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he pointed and reached out to touch the female master's eyelashes.
The next second, the air in the fire room became quiet.
Everyone turned to look at Mu Ling, who froze in place.
What...what did he do...?
Jiang Xi had already shrank back, her dark eyes also filled with disbelief.
"What are you doing?"
Mu Ling quickly withdrew his hand, using his speed ability so fast that only a blur remained.
He coughed, clenching his fist.
"The female master's eyes are covered in something."
Yi Yuexi narrowed her eyes as she watched his attempt to cover up his true intentions.
"What is that?"
Mu Ling's grey-blue wolf eyes darted around, and he said definitively, "Mud!"
Yi Yuexi raised a brow with her fox-like eyes. "Oh? Is that so?"
Jiang Xi raised her finger and touched her eyes, but didn't feel any mud.
Lu Liufeng pursed his lips, breaking the strange atmosphere in the fire room.
"The mistress is hungry, let's eat."
After saying that, he turned to Mu Ling.
"Cut the tables and chairs a little shorter."
Upon hearing his words, Mu Ling fled to the yard, carrying tables and chairs, and chopped them down.
Jiang Xi jumped off the chair.
She was about to say, "Why go chop in the yard? It's so cold."
A blurry figure flashed in and then quickly disappeared.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to say something, and then realized that the chair behind her was gone.
She looked blankly into the courtyard outside the kitchen.
Is this what speed-based superpowers are like?
Lu Liufeng: "..."
Yi Yuexi: "..."
Yi Yuexi glanced at Lu Liufeng, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Anyone could see that Mu Ling's heart was in turmoil.
Lu Liufeng ignored him and instead went to separate the heavy potato starch from last night.
"My lady, the potato starch has settled. What's the next step?"
Jiang Xi's thoughts were pulled back.
Potato starch also requires a coagulant, usually alum.
She was so busy yesterday that she forgot there was no alum here.
But then, her gaze fell on the corn.
"Tonight we'll make some cornstarch, just like we make potato starch."
If you don't have alum, you can use cornstarch to increase the stickiness of potato starch and also increase its transparency!
This corn is a lifesaver!!
Lu Liufeng smiled and agreed, then asked about everything he had done yesterday to see if there was anything he needed to do tonight.
After asking the questions, Mu Ling had already chopped up the tables and chairs.
His neat gray hair was covered with snow, and his wheat-colored skin had a few red streaks, adding a touch of frostbite to his cold face.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment. Was it snowing again?
She looked outside and saw snowflakes falling in a flurry, adding a touch of white haze to the blood-red moonlight.
Looking at Mu Ling's face, which appeared to be "frostbitten," she couldn't help but say.
"Your face looks a bit frostbitten."
"Apply some mutton fat before bed. Although it may have a smell, it's good to prevent your skin from cracking if you don't protect it."
"I'll try to find some plants to neutralize and remove the smell of mutton fat these next few days."
After saying that, she couldn't help but add something else.
"If only we had snake oil, it would prevent cracking."
Upon hearing the female master's words, Mu Ling's cheeks flushed repeatedly.
But he didn't refute it, and just mumbled a reply.
On the contrary, Yi Yuexi stroked his chin and looked at the female master.
"Snake oil?"
When Jiang Xi heard him say this, she knew he had connections.
She quickly looked at him, "Do you know where I can find one?"
Yi Yuexi lowered his eyes and saw the female master staring at him with her big, dark, bright eyes.
A slight stirring in his heart suggested that he understood Mu Ling's itching hand.
He was also itching to try it.
However, he was not like Mu Ling, an orc who only cared about speed.
He coughed, raised his chin, and said with a hint of pride.
"Of course I know, I'll catch a whole nest for you tomorrow."
"A whole nest?"
Jiang Xi froze for two seconds, then goosebumps appeared on her skin.
She quickly replied, "I don't need that much."
I was afraid he would actually bring back a whole nest of snakes, leaving the house crawling with snakes of all sizes.
Yi Yuexi nodded reluctantly.
"All right."
After a section of the table or chair leg was sawed off, Jiang Xi was finally able to put her feet on the ground.
But after glancing at the three beastmen, she fell silent again.
The chair was just right for her; they were too low to sit in.
Therefore, the three of them had to spread their long, bent legs apart, which was somewhat... somewhat indescribably funny.
Jiang Xi suggested, "Actually, you can sit on the higher chairs, and I can have the lower ones."
Lu Liufeng shook his head as he served the dishes.
"No need for all that fuss, just sit down for a bit while we eat."
Mu Ling nodded quickly.
"That's good, that's perfect." The female master is comfortable sitting down.
Yi Yuexi didn't care, because anyway, she was just a tool for sitting.
Seeing that they didn't care, Jiang Xi had no choice but to give up.
The family was delighted to have a new recipe book added to their menu.
The corn was too big; Jiang Xi couldn't finish it.
She handed it to Lu Liufeng, asking him to cut it in half for her.
"Lu Liufeng, I can't finish this, can you eat half of it for me?"
Lu Liufeng gently agreed, as he really liked how the female master always thought of him.
But just as he was about to take it, a phantom image flashed through the air.
The next second, the corn was in Mu Ling's hands.
He deftly broke it in two.
The other three people at the table all looked at him.
Mu Ling remained silent for a moment, then, as if nothing had happened, placed half of it into the female master's bamboo bowl.
"My lady, eat."
The remaining half naturally ended up in his stomach.
Even Jiang Xi noticed that something was wrong with him tonight.
That's very perceptive.
But it doesn't resemble him at all.
Do you need something from her?
Jiang Xi finished her meal with suspicion, but Mu Ling didn't say anything until the group had settled the cornstarch.
Because she was focused on Mu Ling, she didn't notice that Lu Liufeng was rather quiet tonight.
Only Yi Yuexi watched the spectacle with a smile on her face.
night.
Mu Ling tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
His memories drifted to the holy city one moment and then back to the fire room the next.
He was originally a wandering orc.
He has lived in the Misty Forest since he can remember.
Later, he encountered a pack of forest wolves, killed the wolf king, and became the new wolf king, leading hundreds of forest wolves.
There were no orcs in the Misty Forest, so he always thought he was a wolf.
Then one day, a group of uninvited guests arrived in the Misty Forest.
They are wolves, and they are also humans.
They were surrounding a beautiful female and a child.
That female is the Holy Mother.
That child is Jiang Xi.
At that time, Jiang Xi did not have so many poisonous bumps on her face and body. Half of her body was blackened, and she lay dying in the arms of the Holy Mother.
