Chapter 125 - 127: The Frustrated Lan Ya

Chapter 125: Chapter 127: The Frustrated Lan Ya

Since Nantu remained silent, Su Luoluo had no choice but to take it as a tacit agreement.

She didn’t think Nantu would actually do anything intimate with her, but she also didn’t understand why he hadn’t refused.

After a moment of thought, she tested the waters, "In that case, come find me at the wild kitchen tomorrow."

Nantu paused for a moment after hearing her, then nodded.

He hadn’t understood how that cake had suddenly puffed up that day. The dating day was a good opportunity to ask Su Luoluo about it.

At that thought, Nantu agreed on some strange impulse.

When the others saw Nantu agree, there was nothing more to say, so they naturally left.

Although they were reluctant, they all felt that nothing would likely develop between Nantu and Su Luoluo.

It was better for Su Luoluo and Nantu, who didn’t seem to get along, to be together than to let another rival have her and make everyone else miserable.

Back at the wild kitchen, Su Luoluo’s crisis was averted, but Lan Ya was starting to get a headache.

She had been all prepared for Su Luoluo to make a fool of herself, which would have made Su Nuannuan the most beautiful female.

Who knew things would take such a turn?

Now, many Beastman mothers were gathered around her, asking about Su Luoluo and even planning to have their sons form a totem bond with her.

’Has the world gone mad? How could someone as ugly as Su Luoluo suddenly become so popular?’

’I don’t know what trick she pulled today, but she actually looks quite pretty.’

’If these people found out Su Luoluo wasn’t actually pretty at all, they’d surely think we were lying to them.’

At this thought, she demurred, "You all must have been mistaken. Su Luoluo isn’t as good as you say."

"Lan Ya, you’re being too modest. Why hide such a wonderful daughter? I’ve known you for so many years, it would be wonderful for us to become in-laws."

"Not at all. Look how fat Luoluo is. My Nuannuan is wonderful. She’s very pretty and would be a good match for your Bai Meng."

’Bai Meng of the Tiger Clan is handsome and powerful. It would be a great choice for Nuannuan to form a totem bond with him.’

"Nuannuan! Yes, I know her. The one who was named the most beautiful female last year. But my Bai Meng says he only has eyes for Luoluo. He says Luoluo is chubby and easy to care for."

’Easy to care for?’

When Lan Ya heard this, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

’If she were easy to care for, she wouldn’t have eaten herself so fat.’

’What kind of taste does this Bai Meng have, to actually like that fat Su Luoluo?’

’I can’t let this marriage happen. With Su Luoluo being so gluttonous, lazy, fat, and ugly, her true colors would be exposed the moment she got married. Then I’d be the one to lose face.’

"You must be mistaken. Su Luoluo is not easy to care for at all. She’s very picky about her food. She never even eats wild fruits," Lan Ya refused again.

"It’s good that Luoluo is a little picky. If she weren’t, how would she have grown so chubby and likable?"

"What?" Lan Ya was so startled she almost thought she was hearing things.

’Did Su Luoluo use some kind of witchcraft on these people? Has she bewitched them?’

"Ah Ya, you don’t know? Last time we were at Heavenly God Mountain, we saw your Luoluo mix some green leaves with milk to make a kind of milk tea. It smelled incredibly fragrant; it must have been delicious."

"Oh, right! We left in such a hurry last time that we didn’t get to ask. How do you make that milk tea? You must have taught her, right? Your cooking is famous all over the area."

The more Lan Ya listened, the stiffer her expression became.

’Milk tea?’

’What milk tea?’

’What in the world is milk tea?’

’When did Su Luoluo come up with something new again?’

’Could it be that her Black Bear Foster Mother taught her again?’

In an instant, a thousand thoughts raced through Lan Ya’s mind.

First, she was angry that Su Luoluo made milk tea and didn’t give her any.

Second, it seemed Su Luoluo always behaved well in front of outsiders. ’Could she be doing it on purpose just to spite me?’

Third, listening to what these people were saying, it seemed Su Luoluo really was somewhat exceptional.

’Thinking about it carefully, she knows how to make pottery and purify salt.’

’Those things... it seems just as Su Yang said, very few females know how to do them.’

Most females rely on their beauty to establish themselves in the tribe.

’It seems Su Luoluo doesn’t need to.’

For the first time, Lan Ya felt that aside from being a little ugly, Su Luoluo wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.

’But then again, she did clean herself up quite nicely today.’

’She was at least presentable.’

"Ah Ya? Are you listening to me? How do you make that milk tea?"

’How would I know?’

’Su Luoluo came up with it herself.’

’But I can’t let others know that Su Luoluo was taught how to make milk tea by that Black Bear Foster Mother. Otherwise, where would I put my face?’

She thought for a moment and said, "If I just tell you the method, you might not be able to learn it. I’ll go get her and have her make it once in front of you. Then you’ll know."

"That’s a great idea."

The few females gathered around Lan Ya nodded in agreement.

They had wanted to drink the milk tea when they saw Su Luoluo make it before, but because they had mocked her in the past, they were too embarrassed to ask. Now that they had a chance to taste it, they couldn’t be happier.

Normally, she could have just sent someone to notify Su Luoluo, but Lan Ya thought of the Black Bear Foster Mother. She was afraid that if Su Luoluo truly disowned her, she would lose face completely, so she decided to go in person.

’That damn girl... besides the square, the place she spends the most time is the wild kitchen.’ Without much thought, she headed towards the wild kitchen.

Back at the wild kitchen, Su Luoluo was resting her chin on her hand, wondering how else she could shock Nantu tomorrow.

She had more or less figured it out. Her ample chest and bottom were useless on Nantu; only her clever mind could leave a deep impression on him.

Just as she was racking her brains, a shadow suddenly fell over her. Before she could even look up, a person spoke awkwardly, "Su Luoluo, how do you make that milk tea of yours?"

"Huh?"

’I didn’t mishear that voice, did I?’

’Isn’t that Lan Ya’s voice?’

’Why is she suddenly asking about milk tea? No, wait, how does she even know about milk tea?’

She looked at the newcomer in confusion, her face a mask of bewilderment.

This was also the first time Lan Ya had ever swallowed her pride and sought out Su Luoluo. Seeing Su Luoluo’s bewildered expression, she felt a bit uncomfortable herself.

But when she thought about her old friends waiting in the square, she had no choice but to lower her head and say, "That milk tea you made on Heavenly God Mountain... a lot of people want to learn how to make it. Go and show them."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo had a moment of realization.

’No wonder,’ she thought. ’So that’s why Lan Ya suddenly came asking about milk tea.’

She glanced at Lan Ya and noticed the discomfort in her eyes.

’This matter doesn’t seem so simple. It actually made Lan Ya humble herself.’

But she wasn’t about to let Lan Ya off that easily. She blew on her fingernails and said lazily, "I’m not going. I’m out of milk tea."

When Lan Ya heard Su Luoluo refuse, her expression instantly soured. She wanted to give Su Luoluo a harsh scolding, but remembering she still needed a favor from her, she slowed her tone and forced herself to ask, "What do you mean you’re out of milk tea?"
