Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Chapter 265: Susu, May I?

Bai Su politely declined, "No, thank you."

Seeing her so unappreciative, a dark look flashed in Qin Nuo’s eyes.

The butler pushed the door open and entered. "Miss, the Sea Clan people have arrived."

Qin Nuo nodded. "Let them in."

The one who entered was the Mermaid Prince, Mirene, followed by several of his clansmen.

Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow. "Why is it just you? Where’s your brother, Rosa Meiya?"

Mirene wore a proper smile. "My brother is staying in the sea. He said he wants to stand with our people through thick and thin."

Qin Nuo sneered. "Idiot."

As the Endless Abyss spread, the entire continent was gradually divided into northern and southern halves.

In the north, the Snow Country, led by Bai Su, erected high city walls to defend against the beast tide. But with limited manpower, there was only so much wall they could build.

Across the Abyss, however, the walls built by Qin City were much taller. Their armaments were also more comprehensive, complete with cannon platforms and watchtowers.

Anyone with eyes could see which side was the better bet.

Many of those who remained in the Snow Country began to waver, wanting to sneak over to the other side.

Bai Su didn’t stop them.

’Fewer people means more food,’ she thought.

Bai Su had the chefs prepare a sumptuous dinner to treat those who had worked all day.

The females, knowing they hadn’t done as much manual labor as the males, voluntarily took on the work of assisting the chefs.

The soldiers were mostly from the Wolf Clan, lion-types, and Bear Beastmen. Having spent years training in military camps, they had rarely been in such close contact with females and were momentarily at a loss.

Yan Qingya burst out laughing. "What’s there to be awkward about? In a few days, we’ll all be fighting side-by-side. Who cares about male or female then? We’re all comrades-in-arms. Let’s just focus on surviving!"

None of them knew what the future held, so there was a sense of finding joy in the midst of suffering.

Bai Su knew that no matter what she said now, it would be difficult to truly convince them.

But she wasn’t in a hurry.

’After all, the beast tide is coming soon.’

’Besides...’

’I have something much more urgent to deal with right now.’

The moment Lu Tingyan put down his bowl and chopsticks, Bai Su shot up. "Have... have some more? You’ve eaten so little!"

Lu Tingyan’s gaze was burning as he looked at her. "Susu, I’m full."

Li Chenlin hastily shoveled down two more mouthfuls of rice. "Then I’m full, too!"

Yelias elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth. "I am also finished."

Wen Lan: "...Alright then."

Bai Su took a deep breath. "You can finish eating first, there’s no rush."

Tonight, the four of them were going to experiment with her on a method of cultivation using the Crystal Stones.

According to Lu Tingyan’s speculation, there were two possible ways.

Either their spiritual power would enter her body together and resonate with her Crystal Stone...

...or they would have to mate physically.

And the second method could only be accomplished using her Clone Skill.

Bai Su could only pray that the first method would be effective.

After they finished eating, the group entered Bai Su’s room.

Bai Su was very embarrassed.

Equally embarrassed was Wen Lan.

Aside from him, the other men all looked quite experienced.

Bai Su cleared her throat uncomfortably and sat down on an empty spot on the rug.

Seeing this, the other four sat down in a circle around her.

Lu Tingyan patted her head. "You don’t have to be sorry. Susu, you’re already doing great."

Yelias soothingly squeezed the back of her neck, kneading gently to calm her. "It’s alright. This is just our first try. We’ll get used to it."

Li Chenlin scooted closer. "Susu, if you’re nervous, you can try with me first. I’m ready!"

Wen Lan felt like he should probably say something too, but the words died on his lips.

’I’m a grown man who spends all his time with a bunch of rough guys in the army. When have I ever interacted with a soft, sweet little female like Bai Su?’

’If you don’t succeed, you just try again, right?’

’What’s there to comfort her about?’

But when he met Bai Su’s dejected expression, the words caught in his throat.

Lu Tingyan pondered for a moment. "If this really isn’t working, let’s just mate."

Li Chenlin immediately said, "I’ll do it! I’ll go first tonight!"

Lu Tingyan: "No."

Li Chenlin’s face darkened. "On what grounds?"

Lu Tingyan: "You’re about to break through to Level 10. What if you break through while mating with Susu and hurt her?"

Li Chenlin’s bluster immediately deflated. "But... but when you broke through, didn’t you just fall asleep?"

Yelias explained from the side, "Each race’s breakthrough method is different, so we can’t be sure how it will go. To be safe, I also advise against you mating with Susu."

Li Chenlin wanted it desperately but didn’t dare to actually gamble with Bai Su’s safety. He could only stay sullenly to the side, his eyes constantly darting toward her.

The little female was fair and soft, letting Lu Tingyan hold her obediently. The size difference between them was so stark that he was afraid Lu Tingyan might use too much force and crush his own woman.

Bai Su let out a little laugh. "Alright, after you break through to Level 10..."

Li Chenlin’s eyes lit up. "Is that a promise?!"

Bai Su nodded. "Mhm!"

Yelias looked at Lu Tingyan. "Then tonight?"

Lu Tingyan gave a slight nod, then looked down at Bai Su. "Susu, is that okay?"
