When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 128: What Use Do I Have For You?!

?

Afraid that Huanhuan would starve, Bai Di had stuffed the space ring with food. There was a lot of prey that they had hunted before.

Huanhuan casually picked a pheasant.

This pheasant was a meter long and as heavy as a wild boar. The long feathers on its tail were colorful. She slowly couldn’t help but pluck two.

“It’s quite nice!”

Xue Ling did not hide the disdain in his eyes. “Its feathers are so ugly. It’s nowhere close to the feathers on my body!”

Huanhuan ignored him.

She plucked all the colorful feathers from the pheasant and set them neatly aside. She planned to make a large colorful feather fan and hang it on the wall of the living room for decoration.

Tonight, she was going to make beggar’s chicken.

She directed Xue Ling to find mud and lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves were easy to handle. Little Lotus had a lot of them. She could just tear off two pieces. However, mud was more difficult for Xue Ling.

He had no intention of getting his beautiful feather coat dirty.

In the end, the wolf cubs went down the mountain to dig up a large lump of mud and brought it back.

Huanhuan looked at Xue Ling in disdain. “You can’t even get some mud. What use do I have for you?”

Xue Ling raised his chin and said arrogantly, “When we male beasts of the feather tribe woo females, the more beautiful the feather coat we wear, the more it attracts the female’s attention. I still have to keep my feather coat to find a wife. I can’t let mud dirty it.”

Huanhuan rolled her eyes. “With that poisonous mouth of yours, you’ll be alone forever.”

“What does that mean?”

“You’re destined to die alone!”

Xue Ling was slightly startled. He thought of something, and his blood-red eyes suddenly dimmed a little. However, when Huanhuan looked over, his eyes returned to normal.

“I won’t die alone.”

It was unknown if he was saying this to others or to himself.

Huanhuan looked at him blankly. “What did you say?”

“I say, why did you have to get so much mud for dinner? Can mud be eaten?!”

Huanhuan smiled proudly. “You don’t understand, do you? Mud can be cooked. I’ll show you tonight!”

Xue Ling looked expectant.

Huanhuan cleaned the pheasant’s internal organs and stuffed sweet fruits and potatoes inside. Then, she wrapped it in big lotus leaves before covering that with a thick layer of mud.

The wolf pups had already dug a sizable pit under her direction.

Huanhuan buried the pheasant and lit a fire.

The wolf pups loved flames. As soon as they saw the fire, they leaned over and wagged their tails excitedly.

The skullcap was not interested in flames. It stayed on Huanhuan’s head and quietly pretended to be a wreath.

An iron pot was on the fire. Huanhuan placed the cut vegetables in it and added some dried meat to make a fragrant and rich hot soup.

When it was about time, Huanhuan found a hoe and dug out the pheasant from the ground. She knocked away the soil on the surface.

The rich fragrance immediately filled the air.

Not only were the wolf cubs drooling, but even Xue Ling couldn’t help but pay attention.

The sweetness of the sweet fruits had seeped into the chicken, making it even more fresh and delicious. The potatoes had also been cooked. They were soft and tender. They melted in her mouth.

Huanhuan cut off the tender chicken breast, then the drumstick. She handed the pieces to the wolf cubs to eat.

The wolf pups ate with relish.

The rest of the chicken was almost completely wrapped in feathers.

Huanhuan only took a few bites before stopping. Although the chicken was delicious, she still felt a little sick of it. She preferred to eat the potatoes. The hot vegetable soup was amazing!

Xue Ling ate all the meat on the chicken head.

If Huanhuan hadn’t been staring at him, he would have chewed the entire chicken head and swallowed it.

He watched longingly as Huanhuan swept those chicken bones away.

Actually, those bones tasted quite delicious…

Huanhuan couldn’t stand his hungry appearance anymore. She casually grabbed a handful of stir-fried sunflower seeds for him. “You’re welcome.”

With the fragrant stir-fried sunflower seeds, Xue Ling finally stopped looking at the chicken bones.

Huanhuan went to the kitchen to look for pheasant feathers. She planned to make a large colorful feather fan and hang it on the wall for decoration.

Unexpectedly, she searched the entire kitchen and could not find a single feather.

This was strange! She had clearly placed the pheasant feathers in the kitchen previously!

How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?!

She ran out of the kitchen and asked Xue Ling and the wolf cubs, “Did any of you see those pheasant feathers?”

The wolf cubs shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn’t know.

Xue Ling swallowed the sunflower seeds in his mouth and said slowly, “I threw those feathers away.”

Huanhuan was instantly angry. “Who are you to throw my things?!”

“Those ugly feathers are an eyesore.”

“No matter how ugly they are, they’re still mine. Don’t touch them without my permission!”

Xue Ling took out two fiery red feathers with a look on his face that said, “This is my compensation to you. You’re welcome.”

Huanhuan could tell at a glance that they were his feathers. She said angrily, “I don’t want your feathers!”

Then, she turned and ran out.

Xue Ling had been at home just now. The pheasant feathers must not have been thrown far. She searched around the house and quickly found the pheasant feathers scattered on the ground.

She took the feathers home and made a big colorful feather fan.

She had planned to hang it on the wall of the living room, but in light of her previous lesson, she was worried that the bird beast would not give up and throw away the pheasant feathers again, so she decided to hang the feather fan in her bedroom.

Huanhuan had just hung up the feather fan when she turned around and saw Xue Ling standing in the doorway. He stared at the feather fan with an unfriendly expression.

She immediately blocked his view and said warily, “It’s late. Go back to your room and sleep.”

Xue Ling sneered and stormed off.

In the middle of the night, Xue Ling quietly walked into the room while Huanhuan was asleep.

He first glanced at Huanhuan before reaching out to take down the colorful feather fan on the wall. His eyes were filled with disgust.

Such a vulgar color. He wondered what the little female liked so much about these feathers!

Flames shot out from Xue Ling’s fingertips as he burned the feather fan.

He made a fan out of the feathers on his body. The fiery color made it look like burning flames. The red was extremely bright and dazzling.

These were the most beautiful feathers!

Xue Ling hung the feather fan upright on the wall, then walked to the bed and lowered his head to kiss Huanhuan’s forehead. Only then did he leave while feeling satisfied.

The next morning, Huanhuan woke up to see the fiery red jade fan hanging on the wall.

As for the five-colored feather fan from before, it had long disappeared.

It must be that bird man Xue Ling!

Huanhuan rushed into the attic aggressively and threw the fiery red jade fan in front of Xue Ling. She said angrily, “Where’s the feather fan I made? You took it, right? Give it back to me!”

Xue Ling looked like he was still half-asleep. His long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his collar was wide open, revealing a large area of his beautiful chest muscles. He looked like a demon who was capable of enthralling others.

He yawned. “You mean that ugly feather fan? I burned it.”

“Bastard! Who are you to burn my things?!”
