Chapter 112: Chapter 114: Winning Over Mo Xuan (Part 1)
After she finished making the cake, it was almost time for dinner.
By the time Mo Xuan and Fu Feng arrived, Luan Ting and Xiao Ye were already sitting at the round table.
Mo Xuan wasn’t surprised that Xiao Ye was early.
That snake had been coming over to Su Luoluo’s place quite often recently, so it was normal for him to be early.
What was a little surprising was that Luan Ting had arrived before him and Fu Feng today.
Besides, Luan Ting had always been good-natured and got along with everyone.
Yet despite how nice he was, Xiao Ye was currently glaring at him with a furious expression.
’Something seems off between those two today,’ Mo Xuan thought. ’The hostility from Xiao Ye is way too intense!’
That snake was difficult to talk to, so Mo Xuan turned his gaze to Luan Ting and asked curiously, "How come you’re so early today?"
Luan Ting’s expression didn’t change at the question. His voice was as clear and gentle as ever. "The hunt ended early today, so I came back sooner."
Hearing this, Mo Xuan nodded and didn’t say anything more.
’He was dying to know why Xiao Ye had suddenly taken a disliking to such a gentle person.’
But it wouldn’t be right to ask about it directly, so he kept his mouth shut.
He nudged Fu Feng with his hand, motioning with his eyes toward Xiao Ye.
Fu Feng glanced over, curled his lip, and whispered, "What’s there to see? Let him stew in his anger."
He was extremely possessive. It was obvious this had something to do with Su Luoluo.
Ever since Su Luoluo and Luan Ting went to Heavenly God Mountain, that snake had started acting strange.
Mo Xuan was about to say something else when Fu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "What’s that? It looks amazing!"
Not far away, Su Luoluo walked over, carrying something round that looked like a small mountain. It was made of white layers stacked on top of each other and topped with bright red wild berries. It looked absolutely wonderful.
Su Luoluo smiled, a grin playing on her lips. She set the cake down and introduced it, "This is a new raspberry cake I came up with."
With Xi Yi around, Su Luoluo had become very cautious with her words.
She was afraid that one careless slip of the tongue would expose her, giving Xi Yi something to hold against her.
However, she glanced at Xi Yi’s seat and was surprised to find that he wasn’t there today.
She asked the others at the table, "Where is he?"
Fu Feng shrugged. "No idea. I haven’t seen him all day."
Mo Xuan chimed in, "I don’t know either."
’Where could that Black Bear have gone?’
’He doesn’t know anyone else in this tribe.’
Just as Su Luoluo was wondering, a clear voice descended from above. "Was Luoluo thinking of me? I just heard you."
Su Luoluo looked up and shot Xi Yi an exasperated look. "When was I thinking about you?"
"If you weren’t thinking of me, why did you just ask about me?" Xi Yi sat down in his seat, watching her with a grin.
"I wasn’t. You’re really flattering yourself." Su Luoluo retorted and walked back to the bread kiln.
’This Black Bear is such a sophist,’ she thought. ’I almost got sidetracked by him.’
She took some chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and kiwi fruits from the bread kiln and placed them on the table.
Seeing the table laden with food, Fu Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Tonight’s dinner is so lavish! There’s a bit of everything."
Xi Yi’s sharp eyes landed on the cake in the center of the table, and he was quick to praise it. "I don’t know what this white thing Luoluo made is, but it looks delicious and has a hint of sweetness in its scent."
The thing Su Luoluo was most proud of today was this very cake.
She knew Xi Yi was saying it on purpose, but she decided to play along. "It’s a new cake I made. You all should try it."
Hearing this, Xi Yi was about to reach for it when several pairs of eyes suddenly fixed on him.
His eyes darted around, and his hand stopped in mid-air. "Luoluo, why don’t you serve it? I’m afraid I’ll impulsively eat the whole thing."
Su Luoluo saw the deep, intense gazes and knew perfectly well that everyone’s eyes were glued to the cake.
’These powerful-looking Beastmen are just like children when it comes to food,’ she thought with a smile, shaking her head.
She used a stone knife to cut it down the middle, then divided it into several portions, placing a piece in everyone’s bowl.
Mo Xuan couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up a large piece with his chopsticks and popped it into his mouth.
It was delicate and soft, filling his mouth with a light sweetness and fragrance. In that instant, he felt like a whole new world had opened up to him.
"This cake is delicious! It’s so sweet and soft!"
"Mmm... Mmm, I’ve never eaten anything this good before," Fu Feng added in amazement.
Xi Yi took a bite and also found the cake’s texture to be exceptionally smooth.
’The things Su Luoluo makes are actually pretty good.’
When it came to food, Xiao Ye was a man of action. He just buried his head and ate, offering no comment.
Luan Ting took a bite of a bright red raspberry from the top and said with a smile, "This cake with the raspberries is just as delicious as the milk tea from before. No wonder Luoluo likes it."
"Milk tea?"
At his words, the others who had been engrossed in their cake all looked up at Su Luoluo and asked in unison, "What’s that?"
Su Luoluo hadn’t even had time to swallow the cake in her mouth to explain.
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, shot a glance at Luan Ting, and said to Su Luoluo with some displeasure, "Su Luoluo, you made milk tea for Luan Ting alone and not for us?"
Suddenly, she was being blamed for something out of the blue. Su Luoluo licked the cream from her lips, and for a moment, she felt as if Luan Ting had said that on purpose.
’But he wouldn’t do that, would he?’
Seeing them all staring at her, she swallowed her bite of cake and said, "You can’t blame me for that. None of you were on Heavenly God Mountain at the time, and besides, we don’t have any tea leaves here."
"I brought back a few plants from Heavenly God Mountain and planted them." Su Luoluo jutted her chin toward a few tea plants growing nearby. "There. If you want to try it, I’ll pick some leaves in a few days and make it for you."
Hearing that Su Luoluo would make milk tea for them, the group instantly quieted down.
Although they were a little miffed about not being the first to have milk tea, they also knew this wasn’t the time to offend Su Luoluo, or they wouldn’t get any at all.
The dinner table fell quiet once more.
As Su Luoluo ate her cake, she watched the rustling grass in the distance and laughed to herself.
’Nantu probably can’t resist anymore!’
[DING! Nantu’s attraction value has increased by 10 points!]
Su Luoluo was still chuckling to herself when the system suddenly delivered more good news.
Hearing this, Su Luoluo figured it was about time. She picked up the remaining cake from the table, got up, and walked over. Parting the bushes, she smiled at Nantu and said, "If you want some, just say so. I’m not that stingy."
Caught peeking, Nantu’s expression stiffened. He stared at the cake but didn’t take it.
Su Luoluo couldn’t be bothered with his pretense. She simply picked up a bite with her chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a grin, "Delicious, right?"
"You!"
Nantu was about to say something, but he realized that as Su Luoluo leaned forward to put the cake in his mouth, her body had inadvertently brushed against his face, and he could feel the soft curve of her full chest against him.
The soft, ample feeling made his face start to turn red.
’It was the same feeling as in the hot spring before.’
Su Luoluo noticed Nantu’s body stiffen and assumed he was just embarrassed. She clapped her hands together and made a proposal to him, "It’s not impossible for you to eat with us. Just give me your Luminous Pearl, and it’s a deal."
’Luminous Pearl?’
’Su Luoluo really has some nerve. Doesn’t she know that the Luminous Pearl is only for...’
At that thought, Nantu turned and stormed away in a huff.
Watching his retreating back, Su Luoluo sighed. ’So proud!’
’He’s not even willing to do that, and my food is so delicious.’
Meanwhile, the others were all focused on their cake, and none of them noticed Su Luoluo.
...
As night fell, Su Luoluo was resting on her beast skin blanket when a sudden knock came at the door. She got up, opened it, took one look, and slammed it shut.
’What is Mo Xuan doing, dressed like that?’
[DING! The system has detected affection from a capture target. Host, please prepare to capture Mo Xuan.]
