Chapter 7 All expectations turned into hatred
Pei Xiaoxing's blackening value has dropped to 40.
Ling Rui's index also fluctuated back and forth throughout the night, slowly dropping by 3 points.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Sheng Ran exchanged all these points for healing potions, and her eyesight recovered a lot.
I can use my eyes normally, my vision is unobstructed, and I am not afraid of light, but I see things a little blurry.
Sheng Ran was also severely myopic in her previous life, so she adapted quickly.
This is much more convenient and making a meal is easy.
She got up early and went to the kitchen, only to see a few grills and a pile of firewood, not even a stove.
No wonder I can only eat roasted meat every day, and it always turns into charcoal.
Sheng Ran found a pottery, placed it in a natural pit, and kept adding firewood to form the most primitive earth stove.
She cut the meat into small pieces, cooked it with picked vegetables and crushed grains, and added water to make soup.
Use salty fruit instead of salt and squeeze in pomegranate juice for simple seasoning.
It was his first time making a fire and he was not very skilled at it, so the thick smoke that Ling Rui saw appeared.
Once the heat is right, the aroma of the food will gradually waft out.
"What is she doing?" Ling Rui's nose twitched, his appetite was aroused, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Could he take back what he said about not eating... He regretted it.
He suddenly felt very hungry.
Pei Xiaoxing shook his head. He had never seen this cooking method before.
In their concept, the function of food is only to fill the stomach and provide the necessary energy for various production activities.
These steps taken by Sheng Ran were already very complicated for them.
"I never knew my wife could cook."
He couldn't bring himself to just wait there, so he went forward to help again.
A bowl of soup was ready. Seeing this, Sheng Ran simply asked Pei Xiaoxing to help serve it.
The snow wolf has thick skin and flesh and will not be burned.
Sheng Ran looked at his wolf claws and animal ears, and felt itchy for a moment.
[It's so furry and looks really nice to touch...]
Pei Xiaoxing naturally heard this voice.
The tips of his ears twitched slightly, and he glanced sideways at the female following him.
Suddenly, he shook his tail lightly, seemingly brushing against the back of her hand accidentally.
Sheng Ran's whole body stiffened, and he clenched his fists into his sleeves.
【What happened? Was he careless?】
[Hold on, hold on... Please hold on! Don't touch me! You'll get irritated!]
She has great concentration.
He had a lot on his mind, but he maintained a gentle and calm expression on his face.
His hands were very well behaved and he didn't even reach out.
Pei Xiaoxing's tail drooped, and he actually felt a little regretful.
It was rare to hear his wife express interest in him.
She didn't like orcs with too much hair, saying with disdain that they would shed hair and were unclean.
Therefore, she prefers snakes with scales or bare skin, such as the snake that she fed the love fruit to.
Could it be that after she came to the Zhangwei tribe, her preferences also changed?
No wonder he was so cruel to sell Huaijun and was willing to empty his family's pockets to give a gift to the duck.
Does this mean that he also has a chance?
His fur is obviously fluffier and more comfortable than that of the duck.
What's more, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.
"If my wife likes it, you can touch it." Pei Xiaoxing said this suddenly.
Sheng Ran raised her face in disbelief, and with the embarrassment of being exposed, she looked at him for a moment in feigned anger.
Turning her head to the other side, she put down the cutlery with a bang, making a sound to express her dissatisfaction.
Pei Xiaoxing's lips curled slightly, and he tactfully changed the subject: "What did my wife make? It smells delicious."
Sheng Ran originally wanted to write the word "Geng Tang" on his palm, but finally changed it to a more understandable explanation.
"A hodgepodge?" Pei Xiaoxing savored it carefully. "My wife really has a great idea."
Sheng Ran was proud and raised her chin slightly.
She served out three bowls equally, and when she placed them in front of Ling Rui, she noticed that he had a strange expression on his face.
"He just said he didn't want to eat it," Pei Xiaoxing explained, "He was worried his wife would poison him."
"I--" Ling Rui's face turned pale, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
He had indeed doubted this just now.
But I didn’t expect Pei Xiaoxing to say it so bluntly!
Isn't he always taciturn and hates people meddling in other people's affairs?
Why do you have to say this today?
Sheng Ran thought blankly, then nodded to show that she understood.
She didn't force it and gave Pei Xiaoxing more.
The wool comes from the sheep.
She was able to cook with relatively normal vision thanks to Pei Xiaoxing reducing her darkening value so much.
Of course, we have to reward and thank him well.
To show her sincerity, she took the lead and took a big sip, her eyes clear.
She didn't poison him.
Pei Xiaoxing suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a little hazy, as if he was dreaming.
He was filled with a thousand emotions, but in the end he only said, "Thank you, my wife."
After taking a sip, a hint of joy flashed in his dark eyes.
He knew it smelled delicious, but he never imagined it would taste so good.
“This is the best food I’ve ever eaten since I was a kid.”
The fruits of her labor were recognized, and Sheng Ran smiled and accepted the praise.
She pushed the bowl aside without any grudge and handed Ling Rui's portion to him again.
He was too concerned about his reputation and had said with certainty that he would not eat, so he refused to give in.
"...No thanks, my wife." Ling Rui said this stiffly and stood up. "I'm going to explore the mountains first and catch more prey today."
She touched her belly before leaving, but couldn't help but look back. The interaction between the two was close and natural.
Ling Rui could feel the change in Pei Xiaoxing's attitude.
While I despise him for being useless, I also feel a little uncomfortable.
A very inexplicable emotion surged in my heart.
Does he also have to learn to please his wife like Pei Xiaoxing so that he can live a stable life in this family in the future?
Among these five beastly husbands, his family is not outstanding, but the atmosphere is the warmest and happiest.
He is a lion who grew up among cats.
When he was first adopted as a child, he clamped his voice and imitated the meow of a cat, and didn't dare to roar like a lion for a whole month.
Whatever he does, he carefully observes the people around him and imitates the habits of cats in every move.
The purpose is to better integrate into this family and avoid being abandoned again.
But his adoptive parents were kind-hearted and treated him the same even though they discovered the racial difference.
He even taught Ling Rui that he grew up in love and could be himself openly.
This is what led to his current willful, violent and hot-tempered character.
Because he was favored, he left home very late.
Everyone said that marrying Sheng Ran was tantamount to heading towards a path of certain death.
Sooner or later, these beastly husbands will be tortured to death by her.
Ling Rui was grateful.
The cat clan is declining, and as an alien species, he becomes the hope of the whole family.
Marrying the Saint's sister can bring promotion and honor to the entire family.
Ling Rui thought that the Saint Female's sister was also a fairy-like person.
He fantasized that he could be loved and be himself in his new home.
In the end, all he got was endless humiliation and beatings.
All expectations turned into hatred.
But now Pei Xiaoxing's behavior tells him that there is a new solution to the deadlock.
Just be gentle and obedient and serve her.
They can live in peace with their wives and even dissolve the marriage.
Ling Rui was unwilling.
This is not him.
Does he have to compromise again and act like someone he doesn't even recognize in order to fit into a family?
