Chapter 129: Chapter 131: Come to My Room?

"You don’t know Bai Meng?"

Su Zhao was stunned when he heard Su Luoluo ask that.

His brother was so handsome, and yet he’d been blind enough to go to the trouble of hunting a pig just for Su Luoluo, but she didn’t even know who he was.

At that moment, Su Zhao truly felt it wasn’t worth it for his brother.

If he had fallen for a beautiful female and she didn’t know who he was, that would be one thing. But for someone like Su Luoluo to be completely clueless about him...

His brother really was...

Wasting all that effort for nothing.

He scanned Su Luoluo from head to toe, then huffed. "You don’t know Bai Meng, the youngest and most powerful Fourth-stage Beastman of the Tiger Clan?"

Su Zhao’s words left Su Luoluo baffled. "Is he famous? Am I supposed to know him?"

"He’s..." ’He’s so handsome, more than good enough for you.’

The words were on the tip of Su Zhao’s tongue, but after glancing at the several extraordinarily handsome Beastmen beside her, he snapped his mouth shut.

He had to admit, with these six handsome Beastman partners, Su Luoluo really didn’t need to know Bai Meng.

It was for the best. If Su Luoluo had no interest in his brother, it would save his brother from regretting it later after seeing her true face.

He changed his words mid-sentence. "It’s nothing."

With that, he set the pig down and left.

Su Luoluo wanted to ask something else, but Su Zhao’s figure had already receded into the distance.

"Su Zhao, this pig..."

"Just eat it yourself! He gave it to you as thanks for teaching them how to make milk tea."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo looked at the pig on the grass. Its skin was glossy, and it was plump and thick with fat. It would surely be delicious as a crispy roasted suckling pig.

"He has the nerve to send over a piglet this small? Su Luoluo, if you want to eat, I’ll go hunt a bigger, fatter one right now." Mo Xuan glanced at the little pig on the ground with a look of disdain.

"What’s the rush? Why wouldn’t we eat a pig that’s been delivered right to us? Didn’t you hear Su Zhao say it was a gift for the milk tea recipe?" Su Luoluo said, staring at the piglet before her.

’The Tiger Clan is pretty polite, I have to say.’

’I teach them how to make milk tea, and they go out of their way to send a pig over.’

But Su Luoluo didn’t think there was anything strange about it. After all, her milk tea was quite delicious.

Most importantly, it never even crossed her mind that someone might be interested in her.

’Looking like I do, I don’t think anyone blind enough would fall for me.’

Mo Xuan was about to say more, but Xiao Ye pulled him back. Xiao Ye glanced at him, crossed his arms, and said, "I think this pig is pretty good, too."

"In that case, you guys can pluck the hair. We’re having roasted suckling pig tonight."

Su Luoluo conveniently handed this difficult task over to her Beastman partners. Their claws were so sharp, it would be a waste not to use them.

Mo Xuan wanted to add something else, but Fu Feng tugged his hand.

’Is Mo Xuan an idiot?’

’It’s obvious Su Luoluo doesn’t know this Bai Meng guy.’

’Why not eat free pork? It’d be a waste not to.’

After the four of them finished eating, they shouldered the pig and left.

Meanwhile, Luan Ting also got up and went hunting with the clan.

Nantu hesitated for a moment but didn’t get up to leave.

Su Luoluo was clearing away the bowls and chopsticks when she saw Nantu still sitting there, and things suddenly felt a little awkward.

To be honest, she had no idea how to go on a date.

Especially after last night, when things had gotten so awkward between them, she had even less of an idea what Nantu wanted to do.

’Whatever. I’ll wash the dishes first. The date isn’t just my responsibility. I’ll just see what Nantu wants to do!’

’He’s a Beastman, and he isn’t in a hurry. What am I so anxious for?’

Having come to this conclusion, Su Luoluo turned around and started washing the dishes.

She was busy for a while, and since Nantu made no move, she paid him no mind.

Thinking about the roasted suckling pig later, she decided she wanted to make some crispy pork belly to eat, so she went over to the bread oven.

Just as she opened the lid of the bread oven, a voice came from behind her ear. "What is this thing called? Why can it cook things?"

Su Luoluo’s hand paused. ’Nantu is really obsessed with these things, wanting to understand the principles of a bread oven.’

’I was just wondering what to do for this date. Giving him a little science lesson and farming some Heartbeat Value and attraction value sounds pretty good.’

With this in mind, Su Luoluo pointed at the empty chamber and explained patiently, "You see, there’s circulation here. When you build a fire below, the heat transfers up, making the temperature up here very high as well. If you put something here, it will naturally get cooked."

Nantu listened, looking thoughtful. "If you put it on top, won’t the food get burnt?"

If you put things directly on a fire without watching them carefully, they burn very easily.

"Of course not. See, there’s an outlet here. When the wind comes in, the temperature in here stays stable."

Hearing this, Nantu leaned in, moving closer in the direction Su Luoluo was pointing.

They were very close, and from a distance, it looked like they were pressed against each other.

From a distance, Fu Feng watched Nantu and Su Luoluo crouching in front of the bread oven and said with a relaxed expression, "I told you Nantu wouldn’t do anything else with Su Luoluo. The three of you are overreacting. You already carried the pig all the way to the deep pool, but you just had to come back to see for yourselves."

Xiao Ye and Mo Xuan remained silent at his words, but Xi Yi, perched on their heads, said, "If he really wasn’t interested, why didn’t Nantu refuse yesterday?"

That one sentence instantly silenced the other three.

Before Fu Feng could even retort, their faces pressed tightly together in the next moment.

Seeing this, Mo Xuan ground his teeth. "So this is what you meant by ’not doing anything’? Their faces are practically glued together!"

Fu Feng stared at the scene before him and mumbled in disbelief, "Looks like Nantu fooled us all. How could he possibly dislike Su Luoluo?"

Nantu had been focused on the chimney Su Luoluo was pointing at, but when his cheek accidentally brushed against hers, his heart began to race.

The scene he had witnessed last night unconsciously replayed in his mind.

Su Luoluo, completely naked, bending over to pick up a beast skin towel...

The light had been poor that night, but for some reason, he could see her body with perfect clarity, and he remembered it just as clearly.

’I think there’s something wrong with me.’

’No, if this keeps up, I feel like I’m going to start breathing heavily.’

After examining the bread oven, he immediately stood up. Once he had calmed the strange feeling in his heart, he asked another question. "What was that shiny thing you were holding last night?"

"A shiny thing?" Su Luoluo paused. "What shiny thing?"

"Yesterday at the hot spring. You were holding up a shiny thing and looking at it for a long time."

’Hot spring?’

’Yesterday?’

The four spies in the distance were utterly shocked. Mo Xuan’s face filled with displeasure as he said, "I knew it! No wonder Nantu was so late today. The two of them got together behind our backs yesterday!"

A dark look clouded Xiao Ye’s eyes. ’I never expected Nantu to hide things so well.’

Fu Feng looked astonished. "No way! I can’t believe Nantu would secretly get together with Su Luoluo. He doesn’t seem like that kind of person."

Hearing Nantu’s description, Su Luoluo instantly realized what he meant. "Are you talking about the mirror?"

"It’s in my room. Do you want to see it?"

At her words, Nantu’s heart nearly leaped out of his throat.

’Su Luoluo is inviting me to her room. Does this mean...’

It wasn’t Nantu’s fault for thinking that way; the faces of the others spying on them darkened as well when they heard her invitation.

Nantu was silent for a moment before swallowing hard and saying, somewhat unnaturally, "Okay."
