CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 136 REALLY FRAGRANT_1

"So delicious! Oh my god, it’s really so delicious!"

"I’ve never eaten food this tasty in my whole life!"

"I’m so touched, I’m about to cry."

"So delicious, really so delicious!"

"Cooked food can be this delicious?"

In a nearby corner, a dark-purple, cold-blooded snake Beastman wearing a beast-hide veil watched a bowl of meat as if facing a formidable enemy.

Cooked meat will make males weak. Strong males don’t need to eat salt!

He must be crazy! Watching her stew meat for so many people, an indescribable sourness welled up in his heart.

He just didn’t want it!!

So he’d grabbed a large wooden basin he had carved himself and handed it to her, hoping she would get the hint!

But she had only given him such a tiny bit!

Males should eat raw meat! Only the weakest males eat cooked meat!

"So delicious, really so delicious!"

What kind of male eats cooked meat?! Real males eat raw meat, and they don’t even need salt!

"Oh my god, why is it so tasty! Is this the food of the Beast God? Our Lord is so blessed; he can often enjoy such delicious food!"

Wang was speechless. He stared at the basin in front of him.

Forget it. Eating it once in a while wouldn’t hurt.

He imitated Si Yan, scooping up a mouthful with the wooden spoon he had carved himself, and brought it to his lips.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up!

Then, he lifted the basin and started gulping the contents straight down!

Si Yan, watching Wang’s eating habits from a distance, was speechless.

Has he been starving for a year?

After gulping down half the basin of meat in one go, the cold-blooded snake Beastman flicked his forked tongue around his mouth and let out a contented sigh.

HA~ So fragrant!

He looked at the nearly empty basin, as if he had discovered a new world, another interesting thing in life!

It was so good.

And he wanted more!

「...」

Once Hu Que found an opportunity to get some distance from Jie Ling, his expression suddenly grew conflicted. Then, he fiercely slapped himself!

Split personality, get lost!

Is he crazy? When did he start liking Jie Ling? Why is this other personality in his head constantly singing about how much he likes Jie Ling, how much he loves Jie Ling?!

He made a mistake, but he knows he was wrong, okay?!

He had just run to the edge of Dark Sun Lake when he spotted a group of cold-blooded snake Beastmen.

He instinctively prepared to leave, but just then, he saw two small figures!

Dongchi!

Si Yan’s cub, Dongchi!!

He’s still alive!

If Dongchi is alive, then Si Yan must be alive too!

After Si Yan had jumped into the beast tide to save Dongchi, Lord Ming Yan’s expression had been terrifyingly dark. He had dived into the beast tide to search for her but had found nothing.

After returning from the beast tide, Lord Ming Yan’s condition had been very unusual.

Later, under Hu Yong’s repeated questioning, Lord Ming Yan finally told them that Si Yan was a female.

I knew it, damn it! She *is* a female!

But Si Yan is so smart. As long as she knows about Jie Ling’s plan, she’ll definitely figure out a solution.

But where is Si Yan?

Soon, Hu Que’s gaze was drawn to a small, dark-purple figure.

The little female’s face was wreathed in smiles. She was surrounded by a throng of cold-blooded snake Beastmen, and it was clear she was highly respected and popular.

There was mud on her face, and the scent of silent grass was gone from her. She looks a bit like Si Yan.

But I can’t be entirely sure.

I need to get closer and test it.

However, just as he thought this, one of the dark-purple, cold-blooded snake Beastmen nearby shot him a look practically radiating killing intent!

Hu Que froze. Oh no! This is terrifying!

Hu Que had just taken a step back when that more terrifying, familiar feeling instantly dominated his mind!

A voice in his head declared: I’m so in love with Jie Ling! I love Jie Ling to death! I’d give my life for her!

AAAAAHHH! The split personality is back again!

The voice insisted: I can’t take it anymore! I need to find Jie Ling right now! I can’t be away from her for even a second!

AAAAAHHH! Can someone please kill this split personality in my head?! AAAAHHH!

Hu Que, his face a mask of infatuation, ran back to Jie Ling’s side.

He had just opened his mouth, "Little Jie Ling, I was at Dark Sun Lake just now and saw Dong—"

Inside Hu Que’s mind, the ’real’ Hu Que fiercely grabbed the ’split personality’ Hu Que.

If you dare say it, I’ll take you down with me!

The split personality gushed internally: Jie Ling is so cute, adorable even! I like her so much!

Shut up, you idiot!

Jie Ling asked him curiously, "Brother Hu Que, what did you say you saw?"

Hu Que, still looking infatuated, shook his head. "Jie Ling, are you hungry? I hunted a beast on my way here."

Jie Ling laughed sweetly and softly, "Thank you, Brother Hu Que!"

Hu Que inwardly heaved a huge sigh of relief.

I absolutely can’t let this malicious female, Jie Ling, know that Si Yan might be at Dark Sun Lake. Who knows what she’d do otherwise.

However, just as Hu Que successfully fought back his urges and managed to keep his split personality from revealing Si Yan’s whereabouts, a small red orb of fortune floated out from Jie Ling.

It drifted towards Si Yan.

Then, unnoticed by anyone, it slipped into Si Yan’s embrace and merged with her Luck-Transfer Bead.

The gecko sleeping in Si Yan’s storage space suddenly opened its eyes. It crawled out of the space to look at the Luck-Transfer Bead, which had just pulsed with light.

Has the struggle begun already?

What did my granddaughter do to snatch a wisp of Jie Ling’s fortune?

「...」

Si Yan had the snake Beastmen help the tribes outside Dark Sun Lake build water cisterns.

She then returned to their cave with the cubs.

However, when she reached the cave entrance, Si Yan looked up and saw a large, tangled heap of clothes hanging from a tree branch.

Si Yan was speechless.

She glanced back at the cold-blooded snake Beastmen not far behind her, sighed helplessly, and stepped forward to rehang the clothes properly.

Wang didn’t quite understand.

He walked over and watched Si Yan shake out the clothes before hanging them up.

Si Yan asked with a smile, "Don’t you normally wash clothes?"

Wang, whose body was covered in scales, replied, "Scales. No need to wash."

"...Understood." So jealous! she thought. I wish I had such convenient ’clothes.’

As Si Yan straightened the nearly dry clothes, she smiled gently. "Great Demon King," she said, "look. If you shake the clothes out before hanging them, they dry more thoroughly and are less likely to breed bacteria."

Although Wang didn’t understand what "bacteria" were, he nodded.

He was a quick learner. After watching Si Yan hang two items, he took the remaining clothes and hung them all up properly.

He turned to see Si Yan inside the cave, sorting through the supplies they had obtained that day.

Looking at the large pile of supplies and her storage space, which was now close to ten cubic meters, Si Yan was thrilled!

"Don’t put anything else in yet!" the gecko suddenly shouted.

"Why not?" Si Yan asked, puzzled.

"Whatever you put in now will just be inanimate objects; there’s no point," the gecko said. "Granddaughter, you can find some fertile soil with spiritual energy and put it in. Then you can start planting things in the space."
