Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 165
Upon hearing Feng’s announcement, both Wu Xiaoyin and Xiao Kai smiled broadly and congratulated him. Beastmen generally loved little cubs, and Feng’s rare display of joy was a clear indication of that. Lei Lu and Kos on the side remained calm. Although their well-wishing words were sincere, they inwardly felt less welcoming toward the possibility of Xiao Xiao (Xiao Kai) having another cub in their hearts. This meant another little one would be competing for Xiao Xiao’s (Xiao Kai’s) attention. However, if they really had another child at that time, who knew if they would still feel the same way? (TL: own child)
Amid the congratulatory words, Wu Xiaoyin noticed Kola standing quietly to the side. Kola typically took on the role of the responsible older brother and was relatively composed. But today he hadn’t spoken a word. Wu Xiaoyin approached Kola and asked, “Kola, what’s wrong? Why are you unhappy today?”
Kola looked at his excited father and calm dad, sighed, and said, “Uncle Xiao Xiao, I’m worried that if there’s another little brother, I’ll get even less food.” He then shot Wu Xiaoyin a resentful glance.
Wu Xiaoyin let out a quiet sigh of relief. It turned out Kola wasn’t upset about having a new brother, but rather concerned about not getting enough food. After a moment of hesitation, Wu Xiaoyin asked, “Kola, why do you think you’ll get less food if you have a little brother?”
Kola looked around at Pu Pu, Lei Dian, Wu You, and Lei Huo, his eyes clearly conveying his thoughts. Kola usually received the largest share of food, but he was up against four others who would snatch his food Especially now with a new brother on the way, and a biological one at that, wouldn’t he have to share even more?
Wu Xiaoyin confidently patted his chest and promised, “Kola, don’t worry. Uncle Xiao Xiao will make sure to keep a close eye on the other cubs in the future. From now on, they won’t dare to take your food. Don’t worry!”
Kola had always trusted Uncle Xiao Xiao’s words, so his mood lightened considerably. Smelling the sweet aromas of milk and fruit in the air, he asked, “Uncle Xiao Xiao, did you just eat something delicious?”
Wu Xiaoyin, who had just made a bold promise, was suddenly slapped in the face and said with embarrassment, “Kola, Uncle Xiao Xiao made a lot of milk candy today. Come on, let’s go eat some!”
Phew, that was a close call! Thankfully, everyone else was busy eating the sweet pies and had forgotten about the milk candy, so they didn’t trade for the milk candy. Wu Xiaoyin managed to his save face.
The exchange day concluded successfully. Everyone was happily preparing to head to Wu Xiaoyin and Lei Lu’s home for a meal. Zhan, who was looking awkward, and Lan Shi, who was clearly in a good mood, also showed up.
Wu Xiaoyin was a bit surprised that Zhan, who was usually enthusiastic about food, hadn’t queued up early. However, he thought Zhan might have had other matters to attend to and pushed the thought aside. Now seeing Zhan appear, Wu Xiaoyin noticed that Zhan’s walking posture seemed a bit off, and his eyes gradually became a bit strange.
Zhan was subjected to knowing looks from the three females. Even with how thick-skinned he was, he felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. He exclaimed in a muffled voice, “Stop looking at me like that! I just drank too much yesterday, and that’s why this guy got the upper hand. Usually, we just fight it out to see who wins.”
The three females exchanged glances and chimed in loudly, “Oh~ so that’s what happened!”
Lan Shi noticed Zhan glaring at him with some hatred and quickly changed the subject. “Is the orange wine still available for trading?” He glanced at the now-empty stone house, clearly thinking about trading for any remaining orange wine at home.
Lei Lu picked up the conversation. “Also, we’re having a meal today. Do you want to join us?”
The mention of food made Zhan forget everything else. He limped over to Wu Xiaoyin and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what delicious food are we having today? Also, I smell something I’ve never tasted before…”
The three little ones were eager to say something to Zhan, but Wu Xiaoyin quickly interjected, “Oh, I made milk candy today. Do you want to try some?”
Zhan’s eyes lit up immediately and he enthusiastically agreed. Thus, he and Kola began competing for food, much to Kola’s disdain. Kola looked at Zhan up and down and thought, a grown man like him fighting over food with a cub? How shameless!
As Zhan chewed on the honey-flavored milk candy, he shot a look at Kola that seemed to say, “What is face? Can it be eaten?”
Meanwhile, the three forgotten little ones looked at their dad in confusion. They had been eating sweet pies, so why was their dad talking about milk candy? With puzzled expressions, the three little ones plus Pu Pu joined the milk candy war! Why care? Whatever Dad says is fine. As long as there is something delicious food, that’s enough!
TL: face means dignity in Chinese.
