Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 163
The first exchange day for Wu Xiaoyin came to an end. With no wine left for trading in the stone house, there was no desire to continue in the afternoon. Seizing the rare opportunity when everyone was present, Wu Xiaoyin decided to treat them to a delicious meal. He cooked all his specialties. Three-cup chicken, drunken shrimp, potato stewed beef brisket, barbecue with secret sauce, and wine-infused dumplings. Each dish was served in generous portions. Aside from the staple food and barbecue with secret sauce, they were all flavored with wine. But it used peach blossom wine instead of orange wine. This was the first time in the Beastman Continent.
Everyone was eating heartily. They poured their favorite food directly into their bowls. With so many people, the food was definitely not enough. The five males: Lei Lu, Kos, Feng, Zhan, Lan Shi, and three females: Wu Xiaoyin, Xiao Kai, and Bin, actually devoured all the dishes in the pots, not counting the barbecue that could be replenished at any time.
While the adults ate vigorously, the cubs also wanted their share. Wu You took the lead. He finished his bowl and stretched his neck to reach Lei Dian’s food. However, Lei Dian was not one to be easily outdone. He quickly stuffed his own food into his mouth and rushed towards Wu You with a shout.
As the eldest cub, Kola felt responsible for protecting his brothers, so he tried to mediate. But he ended up getting swatted by Wu You with his left paw and Lei Dian with his right paw. Kola was so angry that he ignored his self-proclaimed responsibility as an older brother. The three of them immediately got into a fight.
Meanwhile, Lei Huo and Pu Pu were happily munching on food from Kola’s bowl. Kola’s bowl was almost one-third of an adult beastman’s serving. He definitely had the biggest serving among the cubs. Satisfied, Lei Huo and Pu Pu quietly wiped their mouths and sought their dad’s protection.
When Kola returned in human form with the two little ones, he found his bowl empty. His favorite dish and the one he saved last, the potato stewed beef brisket, had completely vanished. There was even no soup left. He felt angry. At five years old, Kola’s chubby face was filled with grievance. His big eyes welled up with tears.
Having eaten their fill, Lei Huo and Pu Pu were curled up at their dad’s feet and fast asleep. They were completely unaware of Kola’s feelings. After all, once food was in their bellies, it counted as theirs. Don’t think they don’t know who encouraged them to beg for food in the first place!
After everyone finished eating and tidied up, Wu Xiaoyin nearly collapsed onto the bench. He was exhausted from cooking for so many people. It had been a long time since he had prepared such a large meal, and he felt a bit drained. However, he was very happy about the rare gathering. He was physically tired but in high spirits. Wu Xiaoyin slumped in his chair, humming a tune and feeling lazy.
Unexpectedly, he dozed off with Lei Huo nestled in his arms, feeling warm. The cool breeze of the harvest season couldn’t wake him from his sweet dreams. After being carried to bed by Lei Lu, he slept soundly until the next day.
Wu Xiaoyin rubbed his slightly bloated belly. He had skipped afternoon tea, dinner, and midnight snacks. His stomach was growling with hunger. Lei Huo, who was snuggling up against Wu Xiaoyin, was still sound asleep. Wu Xiaoyin wondered why Lei Lu was so willing to let the little cubs sleep with him. Since having the three cubs, he hadn’t slept with them at night except for napping!
Just then, Lei Lu entered with breakfast and toiletries. Seeing the oblivious Xiao Xiao, Lei Lu, who had been sulking all night, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Wu Xiaoyin was unaware of Lei Lu’s irritation. Lei Lu placed the items on a nearby table, grabbed Lei Huo by the ear, and tossed him into the next room. You’re fighting with me for Xiao Xiao!
Wu Xiaoyin saw Lei Lu’s somewhat rough actions and quickly reminded him, “Be gentle, slow down. Lei Huo’er is still sleeping. You’ll wake him up. It’s uncomfortable to pull him like that.”
Lei Lu was furious. He hurried into the next room, tossed Lei Huo onto the bed, and bumped Lei Dian and Wu You awake. The three little ones quickly cuddled together again. Lei Lu returned to his and Xiao Xiao’s bedroom silently. He helped Xiao Xiao get ready, and then asked while feeding him, “Why did you hold onto Lei Huo’er so tightly yesterday?”
Wu Xiaoyin rolled his eyes in confusion. “I didn’t even realize it. How am I supposed to answer that?”
Lei Lu was still annoyed, changed the subject. “Are you going to the exchange event again today?”
Wu Xiaoyin quickly swallowed his porridge and replied, “Go, of course. I want to see if anyone has any new and interesting trading items today!”
After breakfast, he woke the three little ones. Wu Xiaoyin watched as they drowsily ate, their heads nodding as if they would fall into their bowls. With a heavy cough to get their attention, he said, “Today, I’m going to make some milk candy. What flavors do you want?”
Upon hearing this, the three little ones perked up immediately. They raised their heads in unison. Their big and watery eyes were fixed on Wu Xiaoyin, overflowing with anticipation, as if to say: I want to eat!
In reality, Wu Xiaoyin hadn’t even started making the milk candy yet, and their eager expectations wouldn’t be met immediately. Ha ha!
