Chapter – 38

The Female Master is So Cute!

Three days had passed.

Not only had the treatment worked, but there was no relapse?

I Yuexi was still pondering this when two sacks of animal hides were pressed onto his shoulders, interrupting his thoughts.

Lu Liufeng carried another two sacks, his eyes full of warmth as he looked at the female master.

“Female Master, let’s go home and have dinner.”

Jiang Xi replied with an “Mm-hm” and followed.

She rubbed her belly; she hadn’t had dinner yet and was indeed a little hungry.

I Yuexi could only carry the sacks and follow along.

Jiang Xi noticed the two of them carrying bulging sacks toward the house and assumed they were going to deliver them to the alpha female the next day, since it was already late.

But when she saw Lu Liufeng place the sacks in the corner of the firehouse and then grab a handful of shepherd’s purse, she froze.

“This…weren’t these supposed to be delivered to the alpha female?”

Lu Liufeng smiled. “After the alpha female adopted your method, she canceled this delivery. The food they collected, after keeping what they needed, is distributed to us territory beasts.”

Of course, the contribution points were canceled as well.

Since the method came from the female master, Lu Liufeng got an extra sack of food.

Jiang Xi’s eyes lit up as she walked over to see what was inside.

One sack had potatoes, one had taro, and another contained a mix of wild vegetables and seasonings.

She gave Lu Liufeng a satisfied glance.

Clever!

Lu Liufeng returned her smile warmly.

In the firehouse, there was already some braised pig head meat, so Lu Liufeng stir-fried the shepherd’s purse with taro, and Jiang Xi boiled two packages of corn.

As the aroma of corn spread, I Yuexi’s eyes lit up instantly.

He leaned against the door, fiddling with his white hair, striking two prominent poses to look cool.

But seeing that the female master didn’t even notice him, he could only resign himself and step forward.

“I want one too.”

Jiang Xi gave a puzzled “Ah?”

“If you want one, I’ll cook another… right?”

They were all one big family sharing meals—how could she refuse him?

I Yuexi’s beautiful fox-like eyes lit up, and he began peeling corn, mimicking what he had seen earlier.

Jiang Xi glanced at the sky and noticed that the energy output from abilities had lessened significantly.

Considering that Mu Ling might be returning soon, she spoke to I Yuexi.

“Peel another one. Mu Ling should be back soon.”

Defending against a cursed beast swarm required abilities, but it was also physically demanding—especially for someone like Mu Ling, who relied on weapons and close combat.

I Yuexi paused in his peeling.

For some reason, a pang of jealousy rose in his heart.

He wanted to speak, so he simply said it.

“You treat Mu Ling really well, Female Master.”

Jiang Xi couldn’t detect the sourness in his tone.

“Before the marriage contract is dissolved, we’re all family. Just helping out.”

Lu Liufeng, who was busy cooking, glanced at I Yuexi in surprise.

But it was just a glance.

He knew that I Yuexi was a beast who only cared about appearances, determined to find the most beautiful female in the world as his master.

Even the so-called “most beautiful female of the Holy City” hadn’t caught his eye.

Lu Liufeng shook his head and focused back on cooking.

When the pig head meat was heated, the taro with shepherd’s purse stir-fry was ready, and the boiled corn was done, Mu Ling finally returned.

I Yuexi couldn’t help but say,

“Should have guessed you were from the wolf clan—your nose is so sharp, the moment the food is ready, you’re back.”

He spoke with that lingering sourness again.

This time, even Jiang Xi noticed the subtle sarcasm in his tone.

She exchanged a glance with Lu Liufeng.

Could it be that something happened between the two while she was away?

She didn’t understand.

Lu Liufeng smiled and shook his head, signaling Jiang Xi not to worry.

Quarrels between beast husbands were common in any female master’s household.

Normally, if it reached the female master, she would mediate.

But… since I Yuexi and Mu Ling were about to dissolve their marriage contract, no matter what happened between them, the female master didn’t need to intervene.

Mu Ling’s clothes were stained with a lot of blood, a deep red-black beastly hue.

He looked at I Yuexi, his wolf-like eyes sharp, still carrying the bloodthirst from battle.

“I didn’t eat yours.”

Indeed, there had been a small quarrel over dinner.

There wasn’t much boiled mutton left, but both wanted to eat it.

So they competed in speed.

Mu Ling, as a speed-ability beast, naturally grabbed most of it, angering I Yuexi, who forbade him from eating meat he had hunted.

Mu Ling didn’t care; he ate while coldly saying,

“There’s still half a piece of mutton left. Want it? Cook it yourself.”

I Yuexi knew there was half left, but since he didn’t know how to cook, he could only heat some pig head meat and throw in a few potatoes.

“All done.”

Seeing the two endless bickering, Lu Liufeng spoke to mediate.

“Mu Ling, with all that blood on you, don’t scare the female master. Change into your furs and then come eat.”

Then he looked at I Yuexi.

“Female Master asked you to make tables and chairs today. Are you done?”

Jiang Xi, seeing Lu Liufeng take on the role of head of the household, breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn’t know how to balance this household!

Mu Ling lowered his gray-blue wolf eyes, looked at the blood on himself, then glanced at his female master with her back turned, and went to change into furs.

I Yuexi’s beautiful fox eyes scanned the female master, noticing she didn’t even look at him, leaving him a little sulky.

So many females had tried to catch his attention, but Jiang Xi, who had once cried and forced him to marry her, now simply ignored him after trying so hard for six months!

I Yuexi could sense the change in her scent.

But seeing that her external spiritual energy had returned and she was treating her poison wounds, he instinctively thought it was normal for her scent to change.

He was still puzzled why she suddenly made so much delicious food.

But he never paid attention to her, never understood her, so he assumed it was because he had ignored her before.

After all, in the presence of a clear marriage contract, few beasts would suspect that their female master… was no longer their master.

“It’s ready. Too big, so I put it outside,” I Yuexi answered unhappily.

Jiang Xi finally found a reason to speak and quickly said,

“Then bring it inside!”

I Yuexi snorted, lifted his chin, and went to move the tables and chairs.

Soon, Jiang Xi realized why he said it was too big…

Because they had made extra-large plus-sized beast versions!!!

When a beast sat down, it fit perfectly. But when she sat, it was like a child on an adult chair—her toes barely touched the ground.

Jiang Xi: “……”

She could only sit on the chair helplessly, letting Lu Liufeng and I Yuexi watch.
