269: Chapter 269 The old mother was shocked and didn't know what to say.

Heng Zhou understood the ins and outs of the matter through mental communication with Xiao Yi.

"Yesterday, Guo Guo deliberately used the Hongshu to tease Xiao Yi.

Although he couldn't eat it, he could smell it, and during the struggle with her, he flattened Guo Guo's Hongshu.

Guo Guo locked him up today, and then—"

Heng Zhou suddenly chuckled, not knowing whether he was angry or amused.

"This Cub perfectly inherited Fen Tian's brute strength; he rammed a hole in the stone wall and ran out."

Tang Ruan: ! The old mother is shocked; the old mother doesn't know what to say.

"Um... Xiao Yi, why didn't you ram the door or the window?" Tang Ruan asked.

The doors and windows are made of wood; they should have been easier to break through...

Heng Zhou rubbed his temples: "He said the doors and windows were locked by his sister."

Tang Ruan: ... Tang Ruan covered her mouth with both hands.

Her shock was beyond words.

Sob... Is Xiao Yi's IQ basically saying goodbye to relying on his brain to get by?

It's okay, it's okay, it's all okay!

Tang Ruan comforted herself.

This is the Beast World, where strength is everything.

Besides, Xiao Yi must be very handsome. A handsome and powerful son will definitely be able to find a smart Female Beastman who truly loves him to make up for it...

Thinking of this, Tang Ruan suddenly remembered the time not long ago when she threatened Xiao Yi with a stone.

Uh...

Ramming into a wall couldn't even crack his eggshell, yet she had actually threatened him with a stone that day; it was completely unnecessary.

"Mom, little brother used his Supernatural Ability, that's why he's so sturdy!" Guo Guo suddenly jumped up and said, "When he's not using his Supernatural Ability, you can still hit him with a stone!"

Tang Ruan: ... What a pair of siblings who love and kill each other...

However...

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of "Hatching Plan 3.0"...

---

In the kitchen of the Beast King Palace, Tang Ruan was busy working with the cooks.

"Master Xiong, add more honey to the rose cakes."

"Master Ying, can you handle roasting the meat all by yourself? I'll find someone to help you."

Seeing that Tang Ruan was really going to call someone, Master Ying hurriedly stopped her.

"No, no, Divine Female, it's just this little bit of meat; it'll be roasted in a moment. Besides, I have my own secret recipe that I don't share."

Tang Ruan: A secret recipe? That's true. Although she was the one who "invented" roasting meat, now in the Beast World, every clan has its own secret recipe.

Seeing everyone busy, Tang Ruan took out the recipe she had written on the parchment from her spatial storage and looked at it again.

Hmm—a dozen or so delicious dishes, enough to make that Cub drool to death.

Then, she walked over to Master Ma and started making steamed buns with him.

"Master Ma, I'll help you wrap them."

Master Ma was an older beastman and the first cook to come to the Beast King Palace to cook.

He had known Tang Ruan for many years and understood her personality, so he immediately beamed with joy, "Then I'll trouble you, Divine Female."

Before the Divine Female appeared, those Male Beastmen like them who loved researching food preparation but didn't like hunting were always looked down upon in their clans.

It was because of his poor hunting ability and his advanced age that he was kicked out by his Mistress.

At that time, Central City had just been established, and there were no strict requirements for beastmen entering.

He wandered here and heard that the Beast King was looking for beastmen who could cook.

But because most beastmen feared the Beast King, and many beastmen didn't understand what the concept of "cooking" actually was...

Is making food edible the same as cooking? With this question in mind, Master Ma appeared at the Beast King Palace with trembling legs.

Tang Ruan cooked a pot of food and asked Master Ma to imitate it, and he learned it very quickly.

Thus, he stayed.

He could finally do what he loved most in his life—making food for others to eat.

And he gained the respectable title of "Master."

Previously, in the Beast World, people only called those who taught them "Master."

Master Ma was incredibly proud of his work and did it with great dedication.

Gradually, there were Male Beastmen in the Beast World who specialized in being "cooks" at home...

About three hours later, everything was finished.

Tang Ruan walked out of the kitchen.

She saw Heng Zhou holding Xiao Yi in his arms, with Guo Guo sitting on his neck.

He was standing at the kitchen door, looking pathetic.

His handsome face had a trace of weariness, and his resentful eyes seemed to be saying: "Save me, save me, save me, save me..."

Tang Ruan walked over.

"Why are you waiting at the door?"

Heng Zhou gave a helpless smile: "Can I cast a curse on the Cub?"

Tang Ruan immediately raised her voice: "Of course not!"

After all, it involves the brain; what if he makes the Cub stupid?

What's more, her Xiao Yi isn't smart enough as it is, sob...

The smile on Heng Zhou's face deepened, but he still had an expression of total despair. The meaning was self-evident.

The Cub hadn't really done anything wrong; he couldn't use violence, nor could he cast a curse.

So which one could he control? The one whose strength was greater than his? Or the one whose words were sweet but actions were tough?

"Mom, I want to get down!" Guo Guo reached out to Tang Ruan. Tang Ruan caught her and put her on the ground.

Guo Guo hugged her leg, looked up, opened her large, deep purple eyes that were like water grapes, and said sweetly: "Mom, Dad has been waiting here for you for a long time.

In a while, you must give the most, most, most delicious thing to Dad first. Okay?"

Tang Ruan reached out and stroked Guo Guo's head, "Guo Guo is so sensible, you really care about Dad!"

Heng Zhou: If she really cared about Dad, she wouldn't have ridden on his neck for three hours.

However, he was also quite curious about what little A-Wu was doing inside. He went in to take a look halfway through, but didn't understand. He was even kicked out because she thought he was in the way.

Heng Zhou asked curiously: "Why do you have to mash the food and mix it together?"

Tang Ruan explained simply: "It's only delicious when it's mashed!"

Heng Zhou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Minced meat and organs were generally unwanted; beastmen only kept large chunks of meat to eat.

Only beastmen who were starving to death would eat the minced meat others threw away.

Therefore, after little A-Wu left the Jiao Clan, she must have had a hard time.

She lost her memory and her Supernatural Ability was Sealed, so she could only survive by scavenging for food, which is why she developed the habit of liking to eat mashed things...

As he thought about it, Heng Zhou's heart ached with an indescribable bitterness and pain.

He put Xiao Yi on the ground, and Xiao Yi immediately flew up.

Heng Zhou walked up to Tang Ruan and suddenly pulled her into his arms. He gently patted her back with one hand, full of heartache, just like soothing a Cub.

"I'm sorry..." At that time, he didn't have the ability to protect her well.

Tang Ruan didn't understand why he was apologizing, "What's wrong with you?"

"After you left the Jiao Clan, you must have had a very hard time; it's all my fault."

Tang Ruan recalled, what happened after she left the Jiao Clan? It seemed she didn't have that memory.

She tried hard to recall. Suddenly she remembered, she seemed to have seen a patch of white light...

That light appeared in the water... very familiar... Where had she seen the same light before?

She remembered! It was that evening... The sky was already getting dark, and she was lying in a deserted ditch at the entrance of the village.

She saw a beam of white light from afar, sweeping towards her.

"Ruan Ruan! Ruan Ruan, come home for dinner..."

Tang Ruan's head was resting on a hard stone, and her body was numb from the cold. For a moment, she couldn't remember who she was.

But she knew she had to respond to the voice of that Male Beastman in the distance. Because only by responding could she survive...

Then, she shouted with all her might: "I'm here..."

Another beam of white light shone on her face, and her memory became clear... "Dad!"
