Chapter 119 - 121: The Overly Competitive Beastmen

Chapter 119: Chapter 121: The Overly Competitive Beastmen

Yesterday’s issue still wasn’t resolved. Su Luoluo decided to make the milk tea first and deal with the rest later.

As for that schedule Xi Yi mentioned, that was absolutely out of the question.

Although she had successfully "conquered" three of the five men and turned them into "Filter Brains," there were still two who remained unconquered.

Pushing ahead with something like that blindly might provoke their resentment.

Especially Nantu. That sapiosexual was different from the others.

And then there was Xi Yi. She couldn’t put him on a schedule either.

’He’s a "blind box." I need to observe him more. I haven’t even determined if he’s a target for conquering yet.’

Lost in thought as she walked, Su Luoluo arrived at her rustic outdoor kitchen without realizing it.

Before she could even start picking tea leaves, a tan hand appeared before her. Resting on it was a fluffy white creature. The person’s face held a slightly unnatural expression as he looked at Su Luoluo and said, "This is for you."

"What?" Startled by the sight of a rabbit, Su Luoluo was a little confused. She looked up at the person. "Do you want to eat rabbit meat?"

"Can’t you think about anything besides food?"

Xiao Ye’s face stiffened. ’Shouldn’t a normal female call a fluffy animal like this cute and say she likes it?’

’Why is my female so different? Her first reaction is to kill it and cook it.’

"If we’re not eating it, then what do you want? I don’t know how to make clothes," Su Luoluo said cautiously.

Rabbit fur clothes might be beautiful, but she didn’t know how to make Beast Skin Clothes.

Xiao Ye shot her a speechless glance. "Don’t you think this rabbit is cute?"

He had caught dozens before finding this one—a big, plump rabbit with a round little body that reminded him a bit of Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo looked it up and down and nodded. "It is pretty cute. Its eyes are so red."

’If only it weren’t a little small. It would be perfect for spicy cold rabbit.’

When Xiao Ye heard Su Luoluo call the rabbit cute, a smile finally appeared on his face. "If it’s cute, then take it. You can keep it as a pet."

He had thought for a long time about what to give Su Luoluo and decided on a rabbit.

The females in the tribe were all very interested in this kind of rabbit, so Su Luoluo should like it too.

"Keep it?" Su Luoluo was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Xiao Ye to go out of his way to catch a rabbit just for her to keep as a pet.

She had thought he wanted to eat rabbit meat.

After all, when he wanted fried eggs before, he had brought over a few duck eggs.

The rabbit really was cute, and keeping it as a pet wouldn’t be so bad. Su Luoluo reached out, took it, and thanked Xiao Ye.

Seeing Su Luoluo accept his gift, Xiao Ye’s face broke into a wide smile.

"This rabbit’s fur is nice. It’s so soft to the touch."

Su Luoluo petted the rabbit a few times, then mused, "You should build a hutch for it. That way it’ll have a place to live."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye nodded and vanished from Su Luoluo’s sight in an instant.

’I have to build the best rabbit hutch. That way, Su Luoluo will definitely choose me at the Moon God Festival.’

Su Luoluo was a little surprised by his sudden disappearance, but the next moment, she took the rabbit with her and went to pick tea.

These were the tea plants she had gotten from Heavenly God Mountain with Luan Ting last time. The soil of the primeval forest was so fertile that the plants were thriving even though she hadn’t done much to care for them.

The tea leaves were still a vibrant green. Su Luoluo used a basket woven from vines and picked a good amount.

Once she was done, she set the tea leaves aside to wither and thought about what to make for lunch.

’I have tea leaves... how about some crispy tea-smoked chicken?’

With that thought, Su Luoluo prepared to go catch a wild chicken.

Just as she turned to leave, another hand reached out to her.

Compared to the previous tan skin, this hand was more slender and fairer.

But what was even fairer than the hand was the object resting in its palm.

Even in broad daylight, the pearl still emitted a faint glow, looking extraordinarily elegant.

’It really is a treasure. It looked beautiful from afar that day, and it looks even more so up close.’

"You... What is this?" Su Luoluo asked, puzzled by the sudden appearance of the hand.

Nantu’s earlobes were slightly red. He pushed his hand closer to Su Luoluo. "This is for you. Didn’t you say you wanted this last time?"

"For me?"

Su Luoluo never thought Nantu would actually give her the Luminous Pearl. She remembered how much he treasured it and how he’d said it wasn’t something to be given away lightly.

"I can’t accept this!" The object looked incredibly valuable, and Su Luoluo didn’t reach out to take it.

Nantu simply stuffed it into her hand, then found a seat and sat down.

Su Luoluo looked at the pearl-like object, wondering why Nantu would suddenly give her a gift.

’But he just walked right over to the round table... surely he’s not after my cooking, is he?’

’I think I just said that casually that day. Did he actually take it seriously?’

After missing out on the cake that day, Nantu felt an itch in his heart. The more he tried not to think about it, the more he wanted to know what it was like.

The same went for that soft, fluffy cake.

He thought it over and over. The Luminous Pearl was meant to be given to a female to represent loyalty. Since Su Luoluo had formed a totem bond with him, it was only right to give it to her. Besides, if he gave it to her, he could eat her food.

He hadn’t found a suitable opportunity before, but with the Moon God Festival coming up, gifting the Luminous Pearl was perfect.

Once Su Luoluo figured this out, she felt a little like laughing.

’But since this is his excuse to freeload a meal, I might as well accept the Luminous Pearl.’

’I can’t turn down an opportunity that’s knocking on my door.’

She had been wondering how to get closer to Nantu, and here he was, coming to her on his own.

’Still, I seem to be getting a lot of gifts today, one after another.’

Besides the tea-smoked chicken, Su Luoluo also made some dough for hand-pulled noodles.

While the dough was resting, her tea leaves were about ready. She took out a new pot and started to pan-fry some of the leaves.

Mo Xuan arrived right at that moment.

He glanced at Nantu sitting at the round table, his expression unreadable, before looking away.

Seeing Su Luoluo cooking at the stove, he walked over with a smile and handed her a brightly colored feather dress. "This is for you. You’ll definitely look beautiful in this."

Su Luoluo was busy pan-frying the tea leaves when she saw Mo Xuan shaking a pile of feathers in front of her pot out of the corner of her eye. She quickly stopped him. "You! Get that thing away from here."

’Any closer and my pot will be full of feathers. How am I supposed to make tea then?’

Mo Xuan took a few steps back. Seeing that Su Luoluo wasn’t paying him much attention, he asked in a somber voice, "Aren’t you going to accept this?"

"What?" Su Luoluo was busy with the tea leaves; she didn’t have time to look at him.

"I made you a feather dress," Mo Xuan said, his eyes filled with resentment.

At that, Su Luoluo stopped what she was doing and looked up at Mo Xuan.

’If I don’t at least look at Mo Xuan’s gift, this stubborn guy won’t give me a moment’s peace all day.’

But when she did look, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

She had to once again marvel at Mo Xuan’s sense of aesthetics.

The only thing that could ever top his bad taste was his next creation.
