Chapter 13 Pei Xiaoxing had no intention of leaving
Sheng Ran couldn't understand it at all.
After being beaten, Ling Rui was not angry, but his blackening value actually dropped by one point.
She didn't delve into it further, but repeatedly warned herself in her heart that she must control her words and actions in the future and not beat and scold them like the original owner did.
Even the unintentional act just now should have been nipped in the bud.
These beastly husbands seem to be under her control, and each of them has powerful special abilities.
If she really turned evil, it would only take a few minutes to kill her.
After a while, her heart finally calmed down.
Only then did I realize that Pei Xiaoxing beside me was also not in good shape.
I was wrapping it very well just now, but how come I didn't pay attention for a moment and my technique became so bad?
She couldn't speak and couldn't provide verbal guidance, so she treated everyone equally and helped with her own hands.
Pei Xiaoxing praised: "My wife's hands are really deft. She can wrap it quickly and well."
This student is much more obedient than the previous one.
Sheng Ran was only prepared to teach him one by one. With Pei Xiaoxing's clever brain, he would surely master it quickly.
In the end, I taught him five or six times before I finished. I don’t know if he had to learn seriously or if he really didn’t understand.
Sheng Ran handed all the remaining dumplings to him and started cooking.
The firewood was crackling as she heated oil in a pan, added the meat and vegetables one by one, and stir-fried them skillfully.
The flames flickered at the bottom of the pot, gradually warming the house.
Sheng Ran did it very well. Under Pei Xiaoxing's surprised gaze, she flipped the pot and the spoon, and the firewood shot up into the sky.
"My wife--!" Pei Xiaoxing was frightened and realized that her previous action was intentional.
Seeing this scene for the first time, he observed it carefully and couldn't help but wonder, "Has my wife awakened her fire ability?"
When did you learn to control fire!
Sheng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just the simplest stir-fry!
She stir-fried one dish after another, and the aroma was so fragrant that it even drifted to the next door, arousing the appetite of the neighbors.
After the commotion at the marriage contract stage last time, everyone knew Zhou Baiya’s true face.
Sheng Ran changed from a perpetrator to a victim, and everyone's attitude towards her also gradually relaxed.
When talking about her, I am no longer so resistant.
But change is not something that happens overnight, and they still maintain a non-interfering relationship.
Even if he was very hungry at this moment, he would not be so ignorant as to knock on Sheng Ran's door and ask her for food.
Isn’t there meat on both sides? No matter how fragrant it is, it will just taste like this. How delicious can it be?
Everyone comforted themselves in this way and forced themselves to hold it in.
Sheng Ran was completely unaware of this and after cooking, she placed the three dishes on plates.
Braised eggplant, stir-fried beef, and vegetables with lard are just ordinary home-cooked dishes.
The ingredients were limited, so she had little room to play around and only made these.
But it is still unusual in the Beast World.
This time, Ling Rui really believed what Pei Xiaoxing said about his wife.
She has really changed. Not only has her personality become more approachable, but she also has so many amazing skills.
Could it be that my wife has been hiding her incompetence in the past?
At this moment, Ling Rui didn't care whether his wife had poisoned him or not.
He thought that even if there was, he would eat it willingly.
It was the first time for the two male animals to come into contact with such delicious food, and their desire to eat was much stronger than before.
Pei Xiao started eating much faster, and Ling Rui was eating even more voraciously.
Sheng Ran couldn't help laughing and told the two of them to slow down in her heart.
While they were eating, she was making dumplings in the pot.
The Zhangwei tribe is unable to grow food on a large scale, and life there is very poor, with almost no decent staple food.
If they caught prey, they would eat the meat. If they returned empty-handed, they would eat some noodles to make do.
It was the first time for the two of them to eat dough wrapped with fillings, and joy flashed in their eyes at the same time.
My wife can actually make these ordinary foods taste so good!
Sheng Ran was enveloped by the praise and narrowed her eyes in pleasure.
She ate slowly, but her joy was mixed with a hint of uneasiness.
The whole morning passed without the raven appearing.
Both the breakfast and lunch she had left were left there intact, untouched.
She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and focused on the current matter.
No one spoke at the table. The three of them finished their meal in silence, but the atmosphere quietly changed.
In the six months since they came to Zhangwei, Pei Xiaoxing and Ling Rui have not eaten any good food.
After being abused by Sheng Ran for a long time, his enthusiasm for hunting has long been reduced, and he just muddles through every day.
After a long time, they finally had a full meal. Pei Xiaoxing and Ling Rui's spirits were very different, and their attitude towards Sheng Ran became closer.
The two of them worked together to clean up the table, and the wife didn't have to do anything else.
But she didn't stop for a moment and went back to the kitchen, looking at the remaining meat thoughtfully.
Pei Xiaoxing asked: "What else does my wife want to do? Just tell us."
Sheng Ran wrote down the confusion in her heart:
[There's still a lot of meat left, and it'll spoil if left for too long.]
[I wanted to make all the meat into jerky, but I overlooked the weather issue.]
There have been too many ideas popping up recently, and if she works on them all at once, it's inevitable that there will be mistakes.
The temperature dropped sharply this morning and the cloudy and rainy weather is expected to continue for a long time.
Without sunlight, the dried meat will become fishy and smelly.
She actually forgot about this.
Sheng Ran looked at the piles of meat in the corner and felt a headache.
"I will preserve this meat properly, my wife, don't worry about wasting it." Pei Xiaoxing comforted her, "If you want to make jerky, there will always be sunny weather."
After saying that, he opened the cellar and started to build an underground ice storage.
Sheng Ran blinked in surprise and nodded quickly.
Pei Xiaoxing's ability belongs to the ice and snow system, and in an extremely cold place like the end of the chapter, it actually has a growth effect.
Ling Rui pulled Sheng Ran a little further away and reminded her, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
His hand slipped away as soon as it touched her, and after saying this, he took a big step and stood on the other side, as if there was a huge river between him and Sheng Ran.
Sheng Ran stared at him suspiciously for a moment. Ling Rui seemed to be avoiding her sight on purpose, with only his red ears showing, and his whole body was very stiff.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
Sheng Ran withdrew her eyes and continued to watch Pei Xiaoxing display his supernatural powers, and soon she was stunned.
The cellar was covered with ice in an instant, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was freezing cold, no matter how much meat was stored.
As long as there is a way to keep it fresh, Sheng Ran breathed a sigh of relief and put the idea of making jerky on hold for the time being.
The weather at the end of the chapter is good if it doesn't blow or rain. If you want to wait for sunny days, you don't know when that will happen.
Then she put the freshly boiled lard in the ice cellar for cold storage.
This should be enough for them to use for more than half a month, and they can even give some to their neighbors.
After doing all this, she finally decided to go back to her room to rest, but she still specifically instructed Pei Xiaoxing.
[Call me when the rain stops. I want to go out and pick mushrooms.]
Outside the door, Pei Xiaoxing and Ling Rui looked at each other, both frozen in place by her words.
Ling Rui frowned and asked doubtfully, "Is she talking about those poisonous mushrooms on the mountain?"
Pei Xiaoxing responded with a complicated expression: "I guess so."
Ling Rui had a bad feeling, and his heart sank again: "What does she want those poisons for?"
It's not that he was overthinking it. Considering his past experiences, he couldn't help but think that Sheng Ran wanted to poison them.
He had just begun to learn how to be a qualified beast husband and tried to live in peace with Sheng Ran.
She couldn't help herself so quickly. Was she going to reveal her true nature again?
"My wife wouldn't." Pei Xiaoxing understood what he was thinking and said seriously, "Don't speculate."
Ling Rui didn't want to accept it either, but what else was possible?
Pei Xiaoxing can actually keep his composure, it's really weird!
Ling Rui had long been dissatisfied with his dignified appearance. He was furious and asked, "If she really poisoned you, would you eat it?"
Pei Xiaoxing nodded: "My wife's order cannot be disobeyed."
"What if she returns to her old attitude and starts beating and scolding us again?"
Pei Xiaoxing's expression remained calm: "As long as my wife is happy, that's all."
"What if her claim of settling all grievances is just a pretense and she doesn't actually intend to dissolve the engagement?"
Pei Xiaoxing's expression finally showed a hint of doubt.
"No—" Ling Rui reacted and gritted his teeth, "You didn't expect to cancel the engagement in the first place, because you didn't plan to leave at all!"
