As long as it doesn't prevent her from getting the reward, it's fine.
Ling Yunxi gave a polite smile. After seeing off the Peacock Clan Chief, she suddenly felt the cold and oppressive aura of several males around her when she looked back.
Ling Yunxi shivered.
What happened?
She was merely responding to the peacock clan chief's kindness; what did it have to do with them?
Her husband, Mingyan, didn't say anything.
"Here you go, Mistress."
Xiao Mingyan naturally handed Ling Yunxi a skewer of grilled meat, implicitly asserting his dominance over everyone present.
"Thanks."
As Ling Yunxi took the roasted meat he handed her, her voice fell silent, and the atmosphere around the fire also fell into a deathly stillness.
Among these beasts, each one is a handsome male, one of the most powerful in his respective tribe.
Two weeks ago, my disgust for her was at its peak; I wanted nothing more than to get rid of her.
The suffocating atmosphere made her doubt whether lowering their aversion levels would actually be effective.
Throughout the entire process, she and Xiao Mingyan exchanged only a few words.
The situation only eased up when the peacock beast Jinling arrived.
After Jinling collected the ingredients they needed and left, the group planned to go back to their respective homes.
The next morning.
Today, the Peacock Tribe is already filled with a joyful atmosphere. In order to better prepare for tomorrow's celebration, the beastmen have begun to decorate their houses and the tribe's decorations.
In order to increase her chances of getting the reward, Ling Yunxi decided to head to the Peacock Clan's meal preparation area early in the morning.
It's a place where the outside is a shed made of animal hides, and the inside is a cave.
Inside, mostly young male peacocks were carrying and preparing food.
The older, more experienced peacocks will be in charge of cooking early the next morning.
Hello.
In the cave, where only the busy sounds of the beastmen could be heard, Ling Yunxi's sweet female voice suddenly rang out.
The male peacocks, who were working, paused and looked up at the females standing outside.
At first glance, their gazes were immediately drawn to the females outside.
The morning sunlight fell on her shoulders, casting a golden glow on her fair and delicate cheeks.
Even with her back to the sun, a beast could immediately tell that she was a beautiful and pretty female.
"I am Ling Yunxi, a wolf from the Beast Academy."
Seeing that they seemed frozen in place, Ling Yunxi assumed that they all harbored subtle hostility towards her, an outsider beastman.
As she came in, she explained, "I'm also here to help you prepare the food for the Peacock Clan's celebration tomorrow morning."
The peacock beast closest to her blushed more and more as Ling Yunxi approached.
"Are these all preparations for tomorrow's celebration?"
He didn't come back to his senses until Ling Yunxi's voice rang in his ears.
"Oh yes...yes."
The young peacock responded somewhat haltingly.
He suddenly felt annoyed with his performance; he should have been more confident.
After a pause, she mustered her courage again and said, "Hello, Ling Yunxi!"
When I called her name, my face flushed.
"You should know Chi Yanling, right? I am Chi Yanling's younger brother, Chi Yanxu. Our mother is the patriarch of the Peacock Clan!"
As he spoke, the feathers on the back of his neck would unconsciously rise up and stand up, only to be quickly pulled back down.
"The ingredients here are all prepared for the celebration early tomorrow morning. You can use them as you like, there's a lot."
He started stuttering again.
Cough cough.
"Some of the fresher, more perishable ones won't arrive until tomorrow morning."
"Oh..." Ling Yunxi nodded, "Thank you for the introduction."
"You're welcome……"
Ling Yunxi inspected the area and found a lot of items piled up by category.
However, these are all fruits that don't spoil easily, and raw poultry.
She plans to readjust the ingredients based on what she has available.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded.
[Ding! Jiang Yichuan's dislike value decreased by 1. 74 points remain to complete the mission.]
[Ding! Xuan Yize's dislike value has decreased by 2. There are 8 points remaining to complete the mission.]
[Ding! Mo Yanche's dislike value has decreased by 2. 46 points remain to complete the mission.]
The two beasts also arrived.
Ling Yunxi frowned slightly.
It seems her competitors are also very hardworking!
Ling Yunxi sighed inwardly, realizing she couldn't afford to be lazy anymore.
Seeing the Peacock Clan beastmen continuously bringing in various ingredients, Ling Yunxi went over to observe for a while.
As soon as Jiang Yichuan and Xuan Yize entered, they saw Ling Yunxi squatting in front of a pile of ingredients, carefully selecting seasonings.
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
But soon things returned to normal, and I went in pretending not to care.
"Why are you, a female, coming in here instead of preparing for tomorrow's celebration outside?!"
Suddenly, a deep, mellow voice, tinged with a hint of anger, came from the cave entrance.
Ling Yunxi paused in picking out ingredients.
She was about to get up and say something when Xuan Yize spoke first.
"It was your Peacock Clan that invited us to prepare food for your celebration, so what, humph!" He sneered and continued:
"Now you're questioning why we're here? What's the meaning of this, you Peacock Clan?"
Faced with Xuan Yize's questioning, displeasure flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged male peacock.
“Father, Ling Yunxi was indeed invited by Mother from the Beast Academy, you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
Just now, the young peacock beast Chi Yanyu came over and said.
The middle-aged man in front of him was his mother's first beast husband and also Chi Yanling's father.
"Oh... I see." The middle-aged man said awkwardly, then changed the subject: "My son, Chi Yanling, is also studying at the Beast Academy. You should know him, right?"
