Chapter 882 - 868: Initiative

Su Muyao looked at Xuan Yan with gratitude, "Mm."

"I’ll cook first."

She wanted to make delicious food for Xuan Yan.

She knew Xuan Yan didn’t like hearing her say thank you; it would make him feel a sense of distance.

So, she cooked delicious food to show her care.

This time, Su Muyao made stir-fried dishes, including stir-fried spicy meat and tomato scrambled eggs.

She also steamed rice.

"Mom, it smells so good.

"Female Mother, it smells so good, hungry hungry..."

Da Bao, Zhenzhen, and Kangkang couldn’t lie down anymore; they all gathered in front of Su Muyao, staring at the food in the pot.

On the way here before, even when they ate hot meals, it was boiled, and they hadn’t had such stir-fried dishes.

Back in Black Rock City, they had stir-fried dishes but didn’t use this kind of chili.

Using this chili to stir-fry made the food even more fragrant.

Especially when stir-fried with garlic, the fragrance was even better.

"It’ll be ready soon, and you’ll be able to eat in a little while."

Da Bao and the others sat obediently on the side watching, almost drooling.

Su Muyao looked at their expressions, finding them incredibly cute, melting her heart.

After stir-frying the dishes and setting them aside, Su Muyao lifted the lid of another pot, revealing the steamed rice with distinct grains, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Even carrying a trace of spiritual energy.

It felt like eating it would be very fragrant.

Su Muyao prepared to scoop the rice.

Xuan Yan naturally took the bowl and spoon, saying, "I’ll do it."

Once everything was ready, everyone sat at the table for a meal together.

"Mom, it’s so delicious, the rice is tasty."

"I love eating rice."

"So fragrant."

Xuan Yan didn’t expect the rice to be so delicious either.

When the Bird Clan beastmen ate these foods, they ate them directly, and the texture was indeed hard.

When cooked, it was still thick rice porridge, far less tasty than this grain distinction.

The chili, originally used as a tribal decoration, now enhanced the stir-frying, leading to an exceptionally strong aroma, boosting the appetite.

Su Muyao looked at Xuan Yan and asked, "How about it?"

Xuan Yan nodded, "Mm, it’s very tasty."

Initially, upon just returning to the tribe, Xuan Yan indeed lacked an appetite, but wanting to take good care of his wife and three children, little did he know his wife’s homemade food instantly stirred his interest in eating.

It was indeed extremely delicious.

The taste of the chili seemed to whet the appetite, making him eat more.

The key was that Xuan Yan’s residence was situated high up, with the spring’s warm wind carrying the aroma.

Some beastmen living nearby naturally caught the scent.

"So fragrant."

"How can it be so aromatic, where’s the scent coming from?"

"It’s the aroma coming from Lord Xuan’s treehouse."

"Lord Xuan’s place never had this kind of aroma before; Lord Xuan’s eating style was simple and not appetite-oriented, spending most of the time asleep..."

Someone, harboring doubt, stepped out of the treehouse, looked outside, following the aroma, and quickly discovered the source of the scent.

Each one was incredibly surprised.

"It’s indeed the aroma emanating from Lord Xuan’s treehouse."

"Does Lord Xuan know how to cook?"

"Of course, Lord Xuan knows how to cook; Lord Xuan can do anything, with strong Inheritance Power, and he has a Companion Tree."

"Lord Xuan brought back a wife, and I heard before that Lord Xuan went to get food from the High Priest, saying his wife was going to cook."

"What? A female cooking?"

Everyone listening couldn’t believe it.

Indeed, in the Bird Tribe, females only need to soothe their beast husbands; they don’t have to handle daily chores.

It’s the males who serve females, and females never take care of males.

If the food cooked by males is not delicious enough, females might even blame them.

If females cooked for males, they would hardly believe it.

After some time, everyone recovered, "No wonder that female could become Lord Xuan’s wife; it turned out to be because of this."

"That’s not it, I watched from afar, and that female was really beautiful."

"How beautiful can an outsider female be? Our Bird Clan females are the most beautiful."

Their feathers are so dazzling and gorgeous.

Many females, deep down, were resistant to Su Muyao.

Though it didn’t show on the surface.

...

Su Muyao, Xuan Yan, and the three children finished their meal, and Xuan Yan tidied up before taking them to the back mountain hot springs for a bath.

Feeling tired after washing, they returned to the house to sleep.

The system in Su Muyao’s mind spoke, "Host, I just heard many voices from the Bird Tribe; the females here don’t quite welcome you, and some even reject you."

Su Muyao was about to sleep, but hearing this, she was suddenly alert and asked the system, "Why?"

Doesn’t her presence have any impact on them?

The system said, "Those females all admire Xuan Yan and naturally can’t accept your presence, thinking you took Xuan Yan away."

Su Muyao found it a bit amusing and sad, but she opened her eyes to look closely at Xuan Yan’s appearance, indeed finding him exceptionally beautiful, especially those blood-colored eyes, which were soul-capturing.

Xuan Yan held Su Muyao; he could feel whether she was asleep or not.

He reached out to gently stroke her hair, "Can’t sleep?"

Clearly, from her demeanor, she seemed already tired.

"No, just wanted to look at you."

Xuan Yan allowed Su Muyao to look at him, while the air gradually filled with an intimate atmosphere.

Xuan Yan reached out to gently stroke her cheek, his gaze darkening.

No matter how hard he tried to suppress and control, holding her and smelling her scent, Xuan Yan’s entire body was clamoring with desire for her.

Throughout this journey, he had held back, not wanting to form a Contract in the outside’s simple environment.

Now back at the tribe home, Xuan Yan’s thoughts gradually became hard to restrain.

"Wife..."

When Xuan Yan called her, his voice was hoarse.

His breath slightly disordered, his eyes filled with endless deep affection.

Su Muyao met Xuan Yan’s gradually darkening eyes, roughly understanding, her eyes filled with unspoken emotion as well.

She thought for a moment; the three children were in their own wooden-separated room, and she and Xuan Yan were in their separate room, unaffected.

Su Muyao actively kissed Xuan Yan’s throat, "Hiss..."

Xuan Yan’s throat moved slightly, his gaze darker.

Still, he controlled himself and asked lowly, "Wife, is it okay?"

The blush covered Su Muyao’s cheeks, carrying a touch of shyness, "Didn’t I make it obvious enough?"

Su Muyao’s lips landed on his throat.

Feeling that in this manner, he was too reserved and too calm; she just wanted to pull him off his pedestal.

Xuan Yan no longer restrained himself, lowered his head, and kissed her, "It’s my fault."

He was too cautious.

At this moment, his body trembled slightly.

Her scent was so fragrant and sweet; Xuan Yan, despite his lack of experience, instinctively captured her soft and tender lips.

Gently devoured her aroma.

Xuan Yan savored the taste, yet treated her gently.

Su Muyao’s eyes gradually became misty.

Lip-to-lip, almost unable to separate, after a long time, Xuan Yan slightly restrained himself and loosened his hold on her, asking softly, "Wife, do you like it?"

He wanted to ask if his performance was okay.

Su Muyao saw his red eyes showing restraint, chuckled, and flipped over to take the initiative.

"Let me teach you instead."

This Xuan Yan was like a blank slate, completely different from Shen Ci’an and Shen Jinsuo.

Su Muyao, at this time, was particularly interested, eager to take charge.

She actively teased him, seeing his disordered breathing, whispered in his ear, "Call me Elder Sister."
