Chapter 30 - Another Freeloader
"Thank you," the silver wolf king said with gratitude. Although raw meat wasn't as delicious as cooked meat, it was the flesh of a holy beast, so it would definitely be nourishing for his subordinates.
Leng Ruoxue used wind blades to slice the earth python meat into small pieces that each weighed around a kilogram. Then she allowed the silver wolves to come forward one by one to receive the meat. After receiving the meat, every wolf would thank her and then leave with their food.
After all the silver wolves finished receiving the raw meat and left, Leng Ruoxue looked at the remaining earth python meat. Fortunately, the snake was big enough. After giving out so much, there's still more than half left. She counted the number of silver wolves still around. These silver wolves were closer to her because they were her training partners, so of course she couldn't just give them raw meat. She left enough meat to eat and then put away the rest.
She, Charm, and Feng Moran busily grilled for almost two hours before cooking all the meat.. After the wolves received their portion, they would find their favorite spot and begin eating. As for the silver wolf king's family, they sat around Leng Ruoxue with her beasts and had a sumptuous feast.
"What seasoning is this? It's really fragrant!" Feng Moran couldn't help asking as he ate. It was spicy, numbing, and very flavorful.
"Chili, pepper, and cumin," Leng Ruoxue said. She found cumin just recently.
"I've heard of chili, but it's too spicy. No one eats it. I'm not too sure what pepper and cumin are," Feng Moran said in puzzlement.
Leng Ruoxue showed him a few grains of pepper and cumin.
"They're so small but taste so good! Amazing!" Feng Moran was surprised.
"The meat smells so good! May I have a piece?" A pleasant male voice suddenly sounded.
Yet another freeloader. This was Leng Ruoxue's only thought after hearing these words.
She looked at the source of the voice and saw a man of noble temperament and extraordinary bearing. His delicate facial features were so beautiful that it was capable of causing the downfall of a nation. His alluring pupils were as black as ink and could capture the souls of others, and his silky smooth fair skin would make any woman jealous. He was truly a freakishly enchanting man of unparalleled beauty! Beauty capable of causing the downfall of a nation was usually used to describe women, but Leng Ruoxue couldn't find a better description for him.
If her big brother was an untainted immortal, and Charm was a pure and charming fairy, then this man was a peerless freak beyond this world. He was the best-looking man she had ever seen. Although she wasn't one to lose herself in beauty, in the face of such beauty, she couldn't help but glance at him more.
Which family is he from? They should take him back quickly! This kind of freakish beauty shouldn't be allowed out! Leng Ruoxue couldn't help quipping.
"May I?" The stunningly beautiful man looked at her pitifully, tears faintly glimmering in his black eyes.
Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words. Please, please, please don't look at me like that, okay? It's not like I've bullied you. His eyes didn't have such a pitiful look a moment ago… Ahhh, why do I always meet manipulative guys who like to pretend to be pitiful?
Leng Ruoxue helplessly gave them two pieces of meat while finally glancing over at the other man. He was also handsome but overshadowed by the freak.
"Thank you. I'm Ye Chen. What's your name?" asked the freakishly beautiful man, Ye Chen, as he stared at Leng Ruoxue with his shiny black eyes.
Ye Chen? Sounds familiar! I think I've heard of the name somewhere before…
"Leng Ruoxue, and he is my partner, Feng Moran."
"What a coincidence! My fiancée is also named Leng Ruoxue." Ye Chen, the freak, smiled charmingly from ear to ear.
"…"
She was speechless. No wonder his name is so familiar. This is the name of the fiancé I tossed to the back of my mind! Isn't he supposed to be… weak and sickly? He doesn't look weak and sickly!
"Stop smiling!" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat annoyed. Don't you know that you're already too freakishly good-looking? Smiling so charmingly and attractively, do you want to make me commit a crime?!
Upon hearing this, the freak Ye Chen smiled even brighter. The smile was so alluring that even the sky looked dull in comparison.
Leng Ruoxue glared at the freak fiercely and then turned away to focus on eating the grilled snake meat in her hands.
"Xue'er. I will call you Xue'er!" Ye Chen said.
Leng Ruoxue ignored him and continued eating.
Ye Chen ate while scrutinizing Leng Ruoxue openly.
His stare made her uncomfortable all over, so she simply went to a corner to eat. For some reason, the man made her feel danger, and she couldn't be at ease.
After finishing her food, Leng Ruoxue said she was going to rest and went straight into her tent.
The next morning, when she emerged from the tent, she saw Feng Moran preparing breakfast but not the two uninvited men from yesterday.
"You're awake!"
Leng Ruoxue turned around when she heard the voice. She saw the freak standing behind her, holding two fish.
"Didn't you leave?" Leng Ruoxue accidentally revealed her thoughts.
"Do you want me gone so badly? You're my fiancée! Since we've met, of course we should stay together so that we can take care of each other!" Ye Chen said as if it was obvious.
"I'm not your fiancée!" Leng Ruoxue didn't want to accept him. She trusted her instincts. This man was dangerous, and she should keep away.
"My fiancée's name is Leng Ruoxue. Since your name is Leng Ruoxue, then you are fiancée!" Ye Chen said earnestly.
What kind of logic is that? She was going crazy!
"Besides, shouldn't you protect me? This forest is so dangerous. How can you leave a weak man like me to fend for myself? What if I come across a female pervert? My innocence is reserved for my fiancée, so you have the duty to protect me!" Ye Chen said boldly and justifiably, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
His companion, Mu Li, walked away upon hearing this, his whole face screaming that he had no idea who Ye Chen was.
