27: I stole Chapter 27, what are you going to do about it!

Xingxing nervously leaned closer to Lang Feng.

"No... I didn't eat it."

Lang Yue's expression was a bit disappointed.

When she looked up, she happened to meet Lang Feng's vigilant gaze.

Tang Ruan had heard the Beastmen's words from not far away.

This matter was her oversight.

She didn't know that in her eyes, the tooth ball fruit was just sugar-roasted chestnuts.

In the eyes of the wolf beasts, it was actually a poison that took lives.

However, the tooth ball fruit could only cause vomiting and diarrhea.

The reason that truly caused the Beastmen to die was likely malnutrition.

In their extremely weak state, coupled with vomiting and diarrhea, they lost their last bit of strength...

When it came down to it, as long as they could eat their fill and eat well.

They wouldn't lose their lives because of a small illness...

Although the tooth ball fruit could fill their stomachs, its protein content was low.

If she could find food with high protein content, that would be great...

Her gaze fell on the wound on Lang Lie's shoulder.

Lang Lie wouldn't have to go out hunting every day.

The next day, everyone walked out of the cave alive.

They gathered at the entrance of Lang Lie's cave.

"Witch Doctor, please teach me how to roast it! My cub has been pestering me all night."

"I ate one that my cub brought back, and it really is delicious. It's completely different from the raw one! The raw one is very crunchy, but when you eat it, your mouth goes numb."

This female beast's words once again confirmed Tang Ruan's conjecture.

They were indeed suffering from malnutrition.

Strong Beastmen wouldn't lose their lives even if they ate it.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Tang Ruan was also incredibly happy.

"However, roasting takes a while. Today, I'll teach everyone a simpler and more delicious way to prepare it!"

Her gaze swept across the crowd.

Lang Yu was injured, Lang Lie was in a recovery period, Lang Mo was unfamiliar, and Lang Feng had to take care of Xingxing.

"Lang Chi, can you go to the Marmot Tribe with me?"

"Me?"

Lang Chi reached out and pointed at himself.

"Are you sure?"

Tang Ruan nodded.

"The pot is too big, and I can't carry it."

Lang Chi pursed his lips, his gaze flickering between Lang Lie behind her and her.

"Are you really sure? Just the two of us going alone? The Marmot Tribe doesn't seem to like me very much..."

"It's precisely because they don't like you that I'm going with you! To improve everyone's opinion. If you carry me, we can be faster and make it back before lunch."

Why was this person so hard to order around?

If she could carry it, she would have moved it herself.

"I'll go with you."

Lang Lie's voice sounded from behind.

Tang Ruan immediately refused.

"No, you need to rest!"

He had just tucked his tail in!

Seeing his displeased expression.

Tang Ruan waved him over and whispered in his ear: "I don't want to be hugging a big gray wolf when I sleep at night."

Lang Lie frowned.

Did she hate... his Beast Form?

"How about letting the boss carry you, and I'll carry the pot?" Lang Chi suggested.

"Okay, let's do that!"

Before Tang Ruan could speak, Lang Lie took the lead.

A cold gaze fell on Lang Chi.

Lang Chi shivered: ...

Tang Ruan wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, coughing sounds came from all around.

"The Patriarch is right!"

"The Patriarch is wise."

"Patriarch, go and return quickly!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: "Well... alright then..."

Lang Chi took a deep breath: He had saved his own life.

Arriving at the Marmot Tribe.

Tang Ruan first went to check on Potato's injury.

Potato's injury was almost completely healed.

The two chatted for a while, and Potato reluctantly sent Tang Ruan out of the cave.

"You finally came back, yet you won't even stay the night with me."

"I'll come back to keep you company in a few days."

She had actually only been gone for a few days...

Her best friend really loved her!

Potato pouted: "In a few days, there won't be a place for you here!"

Tang Ruan was startled, thinking she was angry, and was about to coax her.

She saw Potato's little face flushed with excitement, "Mom said that according to the celestial signs, there will be sunny days soon. That will be exactly the full moon..."

"Ahhh!!"

Tang Ruan excitedly grabbed Potato's hand, feeling happy for her.

"Congratulations, you finally married Hongshu!"

"Married?" Potato blinked in confusion.

"It means taking a Beast Husband."

Potato smiled so hard her little eyes narrowed into slits.

Tang Ruan spoke strangely; the Beast God's servant was just different.

The two walked hand in hand to Tang Ruan's cave entrance.

Suddenly, Potato stopped in her tracks.

She opened her eyes wide in horror.

"What are you doing!"

With one shout, Potato called out all the nearby Marmot Beastmen.

"You... why are you stealing Tang Ruan's pot!"

Lang Chi: ...

Lang Chi hooked his lips into an evil smile: "I stole it, bite me if you can!"

"I... I..."

Potato reached out and touched her little front teeth...

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan grabbed her hand.

"I'm the one who needs the pot to cook."

Hmm?

Potato's eyes lit up.

All the Marmot Beastmen who heard this sentence had their eyes light up.

Lang Lie and Lang Chi: ...

"Tang Ruan is going to cook."

"Sister Tang Ruan is going to cook!"

"But, it's for the Wolf Tribe..."

Watching the Marmot Beastmen show disappointed expressions.

Tang Ruan suddenly had the feeling of someone who got married and forgot their maiden home.

She looked at Lang Lie.

Lang Lie smiled and nodded.

"If everyone wants to eat, you can come back to the Wolf Tribe with me—"

"Hurry back and get your bowls!"

"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!"

Thus, when they left, there were three people.

When they returned, a string of Marmot Beastmen was clinging to Lang Chi's tail.

"Hey! Go easy, my fur is being pulled out by you!"

"I can't help it! I already have three Beast Husbands, I can't get on your back."

Lang Chi: ...

Who said anything about that!

Tang Ruan, who was sitting on Lang Lie, was: ...

Did she just say... she wanted Lang Chi to carry her?

She felt like she had caused trouble.

The pot was set up, and the fire was lit.

The tiger meat was diced and put into the pot, and the blood foam was removed.

Various spices and salt were added, and the potatoes and tooth ball fruits were stewed together.

Finally, a little bit of wild chili was sprinkled on top as needed.

Lang Chi held his bowl, eating with a "hee-haw" sound.

"Tang Ruan, what is this red thing? My mouth feels like it's been burned by heavenly fire!"

"Just tell me, is it delicious or not!"

"Delicious! Although it's a bit hot, the tooth ball fruit is sweet and has a meaty flavor, and the potato melts as soon as it enters my mouth. And this tiger meat, it's not bitter anymore! Whoever becomes your Beast Husband, Tang Ruan! They would be so happy!"

Lang Chi praised sincerely.

Other female beasts would wait for the male beasts to cut the meat and bring it to their mouths.

Only Tang Ruan could do everything.

She was so gentle and so good to the boss...

If only he could...

Suddenly, Lang Chi shivered inexplicably.

What was wrong with him today?

He was eating warmly, so why was he shivering again?

He looked up and met a pair of ice-blue eyes.

He understood...

Lang Chi turned his back and continued to eat meat and drink soup in large mouthfuls.

Lang Lie came to Tang Ruan's side, wanting to take the ladle from her hand.

"Let me do it! You sit down and eat."

Tang Ruan dodged.

"No need, I just ate."

The chef's privilege is being able to taste the first bowl!

Moreover, she really loved the way everyone gathered to eat together.

When she was young, she lived in a village with her parents.

During holidays and festivals, everyone would gather to eat together.

She didn't think much of it at the time, but now looking back, every frame was the taste of happiness.

Later, her father died, and her mother took her to remarry in the city.

She never experienced that feeling again...

Suddenly, a pair of withered, branch-like hands appeared in front of Tang Ruan.

The one-eyed Beastman's cloudy yellow eyes stared at her pitifully.

"Patriarch's Mistress, could you give me some food too?"
