Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Sleep Together, Luoluo?
Su Luoluo looked at the person before her, her expression hardening slightly. This beastman was a Black Bear, and she had no idea if he was connected to her adoptive mother.
While she was hesitating, the Black Bear man spoke. "Don’t you remember? Mother sent me."
’Mother? Lan Ya?’
’No, it can’t be her.’
’If it were, she wouldn’t have been the first one to jump out and accuse me just now.’
’Besides Lan Ya, the only other person he could be calling Mother was her adoptive mother.’
Su Luoluo probed, "Why would my mother send you here?"
The Black Bear blurted out, "Have you forgotten? We’ve been betrothed since we were children."
His words left Su Luoluo completely silent.
’To think arranged childhood marriages are a thing even in this primitive society. I’ve really underestimated it.’
Su Luoluo quickly searched her memories but found no information about this Black Bear in the original owner’s mind.
’Could it be that the original owner lost this memory too?’
At this thought, Su Luoluo couldn’t help but complain about the system again.
’Of all the times for the system to upgrade, it had to be right now. The timing is just perfect.’
After some thought, Su Luoluo decided she could only let him stay for now.
She would wait for the system to finish upgrading and then ask for the details.
Besides, she had never even met this adoptive mother, the Black Bear. Who knew if any of this was even true?
’If this Black Bear man isn’t lying, doesn’t that mean he and the original owner were childhood sweethearts?’
’Oh my god.’ After sorting out this relationship, Su Luoluo felt her headache worsen instantly.
’This is a huge obstacle.’
Su Luoluo started to suspect this was a level intentionally set up by the system to add some difficulty to her conquest.
The Black Bear man looked at her pitifully. "Please don’t make me leave, okay?"
Su Luoluo: "..."
Su Luoluo glanced at his filthy state. "Go wash up in the deep pool up ahead. After you’re done, find me over there," Su Luoluo said, pointing to the forest in the distance.
She was pointing right at her outdoor kitchen.
It was about time, anyway. After running around all morning, it was time to cook a meal.
The Black Bear was overjoyed to hear this and said with a smile, "Thank you, Luoluo! You’re still as nice to me as you were when we were little."
With that, he turned and headed for the deep pool, leaving Su Luoluo standing there in a flustered mess.
Mo Xuan gave Su Luoluo a look that was half a smile, teasing, "I never knew you had a childhood sweetheart!"
She didn’t know how to respond to that, since she hadn’t even figured out the relationship herself.
She could only glance at the five men beside her and order, "Take the things to the outdoor kitchen. It’s almost time to eat."
Nothing could shut these five Beastmen up faster than the mention of food.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan immediately grabbed the supplies and rushed toward the outdoor kitchen, afraid his earlier comment would make Su Luoluo deny him food.
Seeing Mo Xuan leave, the other four also picked up their things and followed.
Although they also had questions, they all knew it wasn’t urgent.
They would find out what was going on once the Black Bear man finished his bath.
Su Luoluo needed to cook, so she also left.
Su Nuannuan watched Su Luoluo’s sturdy back, a hint of a smile in her eyes as she sneered, "An ugly beast and an ugly female are a match made in heaven."
The men took the pottery and placed it where Su Luoluo had instructed.
Nantu wasn’t carrying much. Just as he finished putting things down and was about to leave, Su Luoluo stopped him. "You should stay for dinner, too! Thank you for helping me carry things just now."
’Fair is fair.’
Nantu had voluntarily helped her carry things, so it was only right for her to thank him.
Nantu was a little surprised. He had intended to refuse, but when he remembered the food Su Luoluo had made yesterday, he hesitated.
Meanwhile, after the other Beastmen finished putting down the items, they found chairs at the round table and sat down.
From the looks of it, they were waiting for the meal to be served.
Seeing this, Nantu didn’t refuse and also took a seat.
After speaking, Su Luoluo walked over to the stove.
There were more people today. Besides her five Beastmen and herself, there was also the Black Bear man.
She would need to make extra today.
The cured meat had been smoking for a few days and was ready to eat. Su Luoluo cut off a piece to stir-fry with garlic greens, while the air-dried portion could be steamed. She also had Xiao Ye catch a chicken to make Lotus Leaf Chicken and had Fu Feng catch a fish for Braised Fish Chunks. She prepared some other side dishes as well.
All in all, there were ten dishes.
There was Steamed Cured Meat, Stir-fried Cured Meat with Garlic Greens, Lotus Leaf Chicken, Mushroom and Fish Soup, Assorted Wild Vegetables, Fried Eggs with Wild Onions, Braised Spareribs, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Stir-fried Pork with Wood Ear Mushrooms, and Dry-fried Fresh Mushrooms.
"Alright, the food is mostly served. This should be enough for you all," Su Luoluo said, taking the head seat.
Mo Xuan saw the table full of food and thought to himself, ’This much food will definitely be enough.’
’Talk about playing favorites. This is a whole new level.’
’The dishes she made for Luan Ting before were different, and now that a childhood sweetheart has shown up, the meal is even more lavish. We never got this kind of treatment.’
Su Luoluo was completely unaware of his silent complaints. She turned to grab a rice bowl and place it on the table, and had just sat down.
A low, magnetic, and pleasant voice sounded by her ear. "Luoluo, am I sitting here to eat?"
Hearing the voice, Su Luoluo looked up. The sight made her stare blankly. She asked hesitantly, "Are you... that Black Bear from just now?"
It wasn’t her fault she didn’t recognize him. The person before her had long black hair, picturesque eyes and brows, a sculpted nose, and thin lips. His skin was fair, and a pair of Phoenix Eyes left Su Luoluo completely captivated.
’He’s way too gorgeous!’
He looked completely different from before.
His looks were on par with her five Beastmen.
Evidently, the other five had also noticed this.
Seeing this, Fu Feng had a sudden realization. No wonder Su Luoluo would get together with this person; his looks were indeed superior.
From this perspective, it was perfectly normal for her to let him stay.
’But doesn’t that mean she has six Beastmen now?’
"I am," he replied with an enchanting smile.
Su Luoluo barely managed to keep her composure. "Then have a seat. Right, I haven’t asked your name yet."
The Black Bear sat down and said with a smile, "My name is Xi Yi."
"What? Lizard!"
’A Black Bear Beastman who’s drop-dead gorgeous and has the name Lizard... He really is extraordinarily unique, inside and out.’
Mo Xuan chuckled. "Xiao Ye, this guy’s name is Lizard. A reptile. That makes him practically a relative of you Snake Beasts."
Xiao Ye said flatly, "He’s a Black Bear. He’s more like you Black Panthers."
"It’s not ’Lizard.’ It’s Xi and Yi," Xi Yi clarified from the side.
Despite his clarification, Su Luoluo still found "Lizard" easier to say.
"Lizard, let’s eat. The food won’t taste as good if it gets cold."
"Okay, Luoluo! I’ll be sure to eat well."
The five Beastmen: "..." ’Well, aren’t you the enthusiastic one.’
Xi Yi took a few bites, and his eyes immediately lit up. "This is delicious! Luoluo, you’re an amazing cook."
"If you like it, then have some more."
After the meal, Xi Yi rubbed his belly. "Luoluo, where is your room?"
"Why are you asking?" Su Luoluo asked.
"I want to know where I’m sleeping tonight."
"You want to sleep with me?" Su Luoluo was stunned.
"I’m your Beastman. Of course I’m going to sleep with you!"
Su Luoluo’s face was a mask of shock!
’He’s so forward.’
The five Beastmen also looked at Xi Yi in astonishment. ’This childhood betrothal thing is really something else.’
But the next moment, they all turned in unison to Su Luoluo, waiting to see what she would say.
