Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Looking at how much Gu Mengmeng was cherishing the yellow root, Lea could not help but smile as his gaze turned gentle out of instinct. He replied, “Yeah, the smell that you smelled on my hands is this. Do you know it?”

Gu Mengmeng grinned from ear to ear and nodded, “I know, of course I know. This is ginger.”

“Ginger?” Lea savored this word. Although its name was different, Gu Mengmeng did not seem like she recognized it wrongly. From honey, bees to fish, she had already come up with so many different names so much so that Lea was not taken aback by the new words Gu Mengmeng spluttered out. He just thought that he should get used to Gu Mengmeng’s naming of things so that she could live her life more comfortably. Thus, Lea did not correct Gu Mengmeng and did not tell her that in this Beast World, this thing was named yellow root.

“Yeah, using this to cook fish can remove its raw fishy smell. We can then cook one whole pot of fish and it will be fragrant, warm and less work is needed.” Gu Mengmeng explained and gestured at the same time. However, as she gestured, her tiny face suddenly became sullen, “What a pity, there’s not even a pot here… I shouldn’t have learned what business management that time. How nice must it be if I learned metallurgy? I can then make all kinds of pots and pans…”

“Pot?” Elvis picked up the main point from Gu Mengmeng’s words. He did not like the look of her frowning nor could he stand her disappointed and regretful expression of her. Whatever she wanted, even if he had to battle with the Beast Deity, he would not back off.

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head as both her cheeks puffed up into two buns and she said, “All of you eat raw meat so you would definitely not need this thing. But I need it really badly… eating barbecued meat everyday, my stomach and intestines can’t stand it.”

“Where can I find the pot? I can help to find it for you.” Elvis said.

“I don’t think there’s any here…” Gu Mengmeng sighed, wanting to give up out of helplessness.

However, Lea circled his large tail and sat Gu Mengmeng firm on the end of his tail. He used his fluffy tail to act as a sofa, letting Gu Mengmeng sink into it comfortably. On the other hand, he sat sideways on the floor and played with Gu Mengmeng’s hair while asking her, “Tell us, what does a pot look like? Perhaps we have it here, just that the name is different?”

Gu Mengmeng had always been unresistant towards Lea’s large tail and she hugged onto his tail while combing its fur. She would not contemplate much over her words and would answer according to what Lea was asking.

“A pot is a utensil used to cook dishes. It can be placed on the fire to roast food. It is normally made out of metal but even if you give me a dollar now, I won’t know anything about metallurgy and would not be able to make a pot out for you too.”

Elvis and Lea exchanged gazes, clearly not knowing what was iron.

Elvis was confident in Lea’s communication skills and he decided to not interrupt and instead, stand quietly at a side to wait for his further questions.

Lea said, “Besides iron, is there anything else that can make a pot?”

Gu Mengmeng thought seriously for a moment and replied, “There’s stainless steel too. Oh yeah, there’s also a pot made out of stone. Koreans used it to mix rice. But you also need metal utensils to cut the rock so without iron, there’s no way we can make a pot… sigh, I’m getting a sore throat from eating barbecued meat everyday.”

Gu Mengmeng completed her sentence, and she pouted her mouth to show her unsatisfactoriness but she was helpless too.

Elvis and Lea exchanged gazes once again, a smile forming on both their faces without exchanging any words.
