Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 313: A Crucial Meeting

*

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather grew colder and colder.

Fortunately, Bai Su had people plant enough food and stockpile meat.

Their food reserves were sufficient to last the winter.

She was exhausted from all the work. Not only was she busy these days, but her men were also running themselves ragged.

The closer it got to the deep of winter, the more they could feel the second beast tide stirring restlessly.

The people of Qin City followed their example and also began to descend into the Abyss to mine Rubies.

Bai Su knew but didn’t stop them.

Right now, the problem of her four men was giving her a bigger headache.

Watching Lu Tingyan shove Wen Lan away in displeasure, Bai Su’s headache flared up again.

"Lu Tingyan, can’t you two just give it a rest for one day? He’s your brother."

Lu Tingyan retorted, "A cousin."

Wen Lan’s face darkened. "Brother, don’t go too far. Even as the first Beast Husband, you have no right to monopolize her every day. I was the last to arrive and my bond with her is the weakest. What’s wrong with requesting to spend the night with her to cultivate that bond?"

Lu Tingyan said, "I said no, and I meant it!"

Wen Lan shot back, "You have no right to make decisions for Susu, even if you are the first Beast Husband!"

With grim expressions, the two men stared each other down, neither willing to back away.

This cold war between them had started a month ago.

Ever since they had returned from the Abyss, whenever Bai Su touched any of them, she would feel a jolt of electricity, as if their skin would automatically cling together on contact.

It was like they were magnets.

Now that the four of them had activated their Beast God Crystal Stones, they could increase their abilities through the pure cultivation of spiritual power.

As a result, Bai Su had cut down on the frequency of her mating with the four of them, changing the schedule to only one person per day.

Furthermore, she needed two rest days a week.

This led to the men finding each other more and more disagreeable.

It was one thing for Li Chenlin to fight with the others every day, but now even Lu Tingyan and Wen Lan were at each other’s throats.

Bai Su’s head throbbed. She pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation. "This isn’t the time to be talking about this, is it? We still don’t know when the second beast tide will arrive."

She didn’t know what was wrong with them. Since returning from the Abyss, they seemed to be increasingly at odds with one another.

The argument today had started simply because Bai Su had put two extra pieces of meat on Wen Lan’s plate, telling him to eat more, but hadn’t given any to Lu Tingyan.

Wen Lan took a deep breath. "Brother, stop being so petty. We haven’t gotten through the beast tide yet, and no one knows when the apocalypse might come. I was the last to join you all, so my mark with Susu is unstable. What’s wrong with spending more time to strengthen it?"

Bai Su nodded. It was true.

Wen Lan’s situation was rather unique.

Her relationships with the others had been built slowly over time, and getting together had been a natural progression of their feelings.

Only Wen Lan had become intimate with her for the sake of coordinating everyone’s cultivation.

There was no spiritual link between their Beast God Crystal Stones. They were connected only by a tenuous physical relationship, a link so fragile it could break at any moment.

Lu Tingyan looked at Bai Su. "You didn’t come to me yesterday, either."

Bai Su rubbed her nose. "Well, I had to take care of Li Chenlin..."

Hua Hua had come and told her that Li Chenlin was in a bad mood, sulking all alone, so naturally, she couldn’t refuse him.

Lu Tingyan continued, "The day before yesterday, you went to Yelias’s place."

Bai Su felt even more guilty. "Yelias has been in low spirits lately. He was dejected for a while because of what happened with his sister and the death of his good friend. I just went to comfort him..."

Lu Tingyan watched her quietly. "Then what about tonight?"

"Tonight..." Bai Su trailed off.

She couldn’t help it. Her link with Wen Lan had to be maintained through their physical relationship; it would break if they went more than three days without being intimate.

"I’ll probably go to Wen Lan’s tonight..."

Lu Tingyan pressed his lips together. "Fine. I understand."

For the first time, he didn’t finish the delicious meal she had made, and turned to go upstairs.
