Chapter 44: There's a Female, Chase Her!

The colder the weather got, the more lethargic Bai Wanwan became.

Wrapped in her down comforter every day, she didn't want to get up.

But even if she didn't want to, she had to; The Cubs were growing very fast. If she didn't spend time with them now, they would soon no longer need the motherly love she provided.

Enduring the freezing temperatures, she quickly put on her down jacket.

Several Cubs had already been fed by Xin Feng and were now friskily chasing each other around the cave.

The two Tiger Cubs were already as big as small dogs, while the other two Cat Cubs were still very small and weak.

To Bai Wanwan's relief, the two Tiger Cubs didn't bully the two little Cat Cubs just because they were larger; on the contrary, they would carry meat in their mouths to feed the two little Cubs, worried that the Cat Cubs wouldn't get enough to eat.

She walked over, picked up The Cubs, and kissed them one by one.

Sensing their Mother's love, The Cubs wagged their tails and circled around her, incredibly happy.

Hearing the movement, Xin Feng put down the strips of meat in his hand, walked to the entrance of the inner cave, glanced in, and said with a smile, "You're up? Play with The Cubs for a while, and I'll roast some meat for you."

"I'm thinking of making something else for lunch, so don't roast any meat."

She particularly wanted to eat Hot Pot today. Having stayed in the Beast World for so long, her palate felt too bland, and she wanted something stimulating.

She figured Xin Feng might not be able to handle it, so she could put in fewer seasonings to let him adapt slowly.

If he could handle it, she would gradually increase the intensity of the flavor later on.

Since they were going to live their lives together, her Beast Husband had to slowly learn to eat all kinds of things.

That way, with the whole family living together and enjoying good food and life, she felt things would be more interesting.

Otherwise, if they each ate their own thing, they might as well live separate lives.

"Then tell me how to do it, and I'll do it."

"No need, I'll do it. You come over and play with The Cubs."

She needed to exchange things in the System Mall, including a pot.

The stone slab transferred heat too slowly and wasted wood. She had endured it time and again, previously unwilling to spend dozens of points for a pot.

But with the Snow Season lasting so much longer, it was better to exchange for it early and start using it.

Xin Feng walked to her side. "Let The Cubs play by themselves. I'll help you so you can relax a bit."

Bai Wanwan directly pulled him and pushed him down onto the sofa. "You stay with The Cubs; I'll do it myself."

As she walked out, she clicked open the control panel.

She had already tested it a few times in front of Xin Feng, and he couldn't see it at all.

So, she wouldn't have to worry about others seeing the control panel in the future.

Opening the System Mall, she browsed through it and spent nearly a hundred points to buy the pot, Hot Pot base, and some ingredients she needed.

So extravagant, so sinful!

After the consumption over the past few days, the balance on the panel was down to 86 points.

Her heart ached so much it twitched.

If she hadn't bought those two pills, she would probably still have ten or twenty thousand points right now!

But she didn't regret it. Curing Xin Feng wasn't just about fulfilling a promise; he would also be better able to protect her.

She squeezed out a thumb-sized piece of Hot Pot base, tossed it into the pot to stir-fry for a bit, and then added two bowls of water to boil.

The ingredients were actually pitifully few; she only bought lotus root, potatoes, frozen tofu, and kelp.

There weren't many vegetables to eat in the Beast World; if she wanted some, she had to spend points to buy them.

Once the water came to a boil, she threw all the vegetables in at once.

Such a large pot of water, with several kinds of ingredients added.

When it was ready, Bai Wanwan took a taste and was a bit dissatisfied.

The flavor was so bland!

It could only barely satisfy her craving.

"Xin Feng, it's ready! Come and eat!"

Hearing her voice, Xin Feng put the now-sleepy The Cubs—who had played enough—back into their nest before getting up and walking out.

The room was filled with a strange fragrance, somewhat pungent.

He twitched his nose and looked at the basin of red soup on the stone table.

"What is this?"

"This is called Hot Pot! I added a lot of vegetables and a few kinds of beast meat. Taste it and see if you can eat it. If not, you should eat something else first."

She didn't force him to be able to eat it right away; after all, many people in Modern Times found the spiciness level of Hot Pot hard to handle.

As a beastman from a primitive society, he would need even more time to adapt.

"Okay, then I'll try it."

Xin Feng didn't hesitate; whatever Wan Wan wanted, he was willing to try.

Seeing his cooperation, Bai Wanwan smiled and picked up a slice of meat with her chopsticks, holding it to his mouth.

Xin Feng opened his mouth and took it.

Bai Wanwan watched his reaction with a smile; meat should be easier for a beastman to accept than vegetables.

His tongue felt a sting, and Xin Feng subconsciously frowned.

Noticing this, Bai Wanwan reminded him, "If you think it doesn't taste good, don't force yourself. Just try it today; you can just spit it out."

The stinging on his tongue continued, but it wasn't entirely unbearable.

After the stinging, there was an indescribable stimulation that made him want to try more.

"I think it's quite good. I'll try some more."

Xin Feng took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and fished out a yellow piece of food.

Without even asking, he picked it up and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

"Slow down, blow on it before you eat."

A piece of soft-boiled potato was eaten by him.

Seeing that he didn't show a particularly pained expression, Bai Wanwan said with a smile, "Then eat it yourself. Eat it if you can, and if not, forget it."

She was craving it so much that she couldn't care about anything else, using her chopsticks to fish out the things she wanted to eat from the Hot Pot.

With the first bite, Bai Wanwan was satisfied and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Bite after bite, more than half of the ingredients in the whole pot went into her stomach.

Xin Feng didn't eat much—not because it wasn't good, but because he saw Wan Wan eating so happily. He only tasted a bit and then stopped using his chopsticks, focusing on watching her eat.

When the Little Female ate, she didn't like to open her mouth wide; her cheeks just puffed out on both sides, as cute as a Cubs.

Bai Wanwan had no idea that her feasting manner would be seen as cute by the Male opposite her.

Suddenly, Bai Wanwan tilted her head and listened.

"Xin Feng, did you hear any sound?"

Xin Feng had been focused on watching her just now and hadn't paid attention to the outside.

After hearing her words, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"I'll go out and take a look."

He seemed to have heard something too, and he pulled open the cave door to look out.

The snow was much lighter than it had been the previous two days, but the snow on the ground had become much thicker.

"Wan Wan, this sound doesn't seem right. I'll walk a few steps forward to check. Don't come out."

Bai Wanwan was busy eating Hot Pot!

She wasn't going anywhere.

"Okay."

As she spoke, she fished out a few more slices of lotus root and meat, chewed them up, and swallowed them down.

Just as she finished the last piece of kelp in the pot, the door to the stone cave was pushed open with a bang.

The wind and snow rushed in along with Xin Feng.

"Wan Wan, quick! Pack up, we're leaving."

"What's wrong?"

By this time, she also heard roars, shouts, and all sorts of chaotic noises echoing through the Tribe.

Xin Feng's face was solemn. "It should be Wandering Beastmen coming to steal food and Females..."

As Xin Feng spoke, he rushed into the cave and put The Cubs into a Basket.

Bai Wanwan also quickly stored everything in the room that could be taken into her system space.

She didn't hide it from Xin Feng while doing all this.

The surprise on Xin Feng's face flashed for a moment, but he didn't ask much. He grabbed her and ran out of the cave, heading toward the back of the mountain.

"Quick, there's a Female there! Chase her!"

Bai Wanwan was held in Xin Feng's arms as they struggled through the heavy snow.

She curiously looked back and saw the legendary Wandering Beastmen...
