Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 275: Why Did He Get an Extra Kiss?

The first wave of the beast tide alone lasted far longer than they had ever imagined.

Bai Su maintained the Barrier while commanding the purified beasts to fight the ones outside.

The corrupted beasts seemed to realize this side was not to be trifled with and diverted a large portion of their forces to attack Qin City on the other side of the Abyss.

But they couldn’t let their guard down completely in Snow Country, either.

Vast hordes from the beast tide continued their relentless attempts to break through.

After a day and a night of chaotic fighting, everyone was exhausted.

The beast tide was gradually winding down.

The number of beasts spewing forth from the Abyss was dwindling.

Sitting on the eagle’s back and circling in mid-air, Bai Su quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining beasts could now be handled by the other purified beasts.

She retracted the Barrier and patted the eagle beneath her. "Good boy, take me down."

As the woman and bird turned back toward the city, the four men on the city wall also breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldiers cheered.

No one had expected that they would actually survive the first wave of the beast tide, all thanks to Bai Su.

And without a single casualty!

The moment Bai Su turned, the Abyss suddenly spewed forth a black fountain even larger than before. It was like a final, dying flare-up, and it shot with incredible purpose straight for Bai Su.

The four men’s hearts stopped in unison. Their bodies reacted faster than their minds, instantly releasing their spiritual power, but they weren’t fast enough.

Bai Su sensed the danger and whipped her head around, her pupils shrinking in an instant.

As countless vicious birds dove for Bai Su with suicidal determination, a powerful light burst from the ring on her chest, and innumerable transparent spider silks instantly enveloped her.

At the same time, the giant eagle carrying her suddenly flipped over, clutching her in its talons and shielding her with its back from the charging flock of birds.

With a sickening squelch, the diving flock pierced clean through the giant eagle’s chest.

If the giant eagle hadn’t changed position in time, Bai Su would have been the one riddled with holes.

Bai Su stared dumbfounded at the giant eagle, trying to release more spiritual power to sustain the Barrier.

But after a full day and night of high-intensity output, she couldn’t squeeze another drop of spiritual power from her Spirit Sea.

She could only watch helplessly as the flock of birds rapidly devoured the giant eagle.

In just three seconds, nothing was left of the giant eagle but an empty skeleton.

The spider silks around Bai Su were only enough to protect her from the fall. But the diving flock changed direction, and the silk’s strength was no match for their sheer numbers.

While Bai Su was distracted, clutching the eagle’s skeleton, one bird took the opportunity to divebomb her, leaving a bloody hole in her abdomen.

Bai Su let out a muffled groan and fell from the sky.

The four men quickly used their spiritual power to create a soft cushion below, catching her.

Leia’s helicopter was finally put to use as people from the Medical Alliance opened fire on the flock with heavy artillery.

Bai Xiaolang and the others were all land-based Beastmen, so they were at a great disadvantage in aerial combat.

Fortunately, this last-gasp attack didn’t have much staying power.

The Medical Alliance’s troops took two hours to completely wipe out the flock of birds.

When Bai Su woke up again, she was lying in a hospital room.

A huge crowd of people was swarming around her.

Besides Lu Tingyan, the other three men, and the little ones, a massive crowd of females was packed outside the hospital room.

Outside the window next to them, giant birds were packed head to head.

Bai Xiaolang said, "We had some minor scrapes, but Little Treasure healed them all for us."

Wen Xiaobao, standing nearby, couldn’t help but blush shyly while sneaking expectant glances at Bai Su.

Bai Su smiled and stroked Wen Xiaobao’s cheek. "Is that so? Has our Little Treasure become so capable already? Mom is so proud of you."

Wen Xiaobao’s face turned bright red. He took Bai Su’s hand and kissed it. "Mom, I’ll work hard to get even stronger. That way, I can heal you if you get hurt in the future."

Outside the room, Yan Qingya and the others were pressed against the door and window. Seeing that Bai Su was awake, they grew agitated as well. "Susu! Susu, are you feeling any better?"

Bai Su couldn’t get up, so she could only lie in bed and give them a helpless smile.

After the anesthesia wore off, even with the painkillers, her wound still throbbed with a dull ache. Combined with her blood loss, she felt utterly exhausted.

Yelias looked at the others. "Susu is still very weak and needs to rest. If there’s nothing else, everyone should head out for now."

Hearing this, the others didn’t dare say more and quickly left.

Before leaving, Lu Tingyan leaned down and kissed Bai Su’s forehead. "Don’t worry. I’ll take care of all the clean-up. You just focus on resting."

Warmth filled Bai Su’s heart, and she responded with a soft sound of assent.

Li Chenlin: "???"

’Everyone else left. What gives him the right to get an extra kiss?’

With that thought, Li Chenlin also went back, leaned in close to Bai Su, and gave her a kiss. "Susu, don’t worry. I’ll look after the children. You just focus on resting."

Lu Tingyan: "..."

’That stupid, copycat snake.’

The corner of Wen Lan’s mouth twitched as he retreated from the room.

Only Bai Su and Yelias were left in the hospital room.

The birds outside the window remained on guard, posturing as if they were protecting their queen. It was as if at the slightest disturbance, they would immediately swarm out and launch a defensive attack.
