The little beast stared at Xia Muqing.
If it was minutes ago, it would have snatched the meat.
However, it was afraid of Xia Muqing’s despicable methods.
It had no wish to eat that smelly thing again.
A human who carried such an evil thing on her was definitely not a good person.
Xia Muqing, who was thinking about abducting people… Uh, abducting a beast, had no idea that she was already a representation of evilness.
“Do you want to eat it?”
The little beast glanced at Xia Muqing and struggled internally.
In the blink of an eye, the little beast scurried to Xia Muqing.
It extended both chubby little paws and placed them on Xia Muqing’s hand.
Only then did Xia Muqing notice that its claws were actually pink.
She was attracted by how adorable the little beast was, and she stopped herself from extending her hand.
She took out a leaf and fashioned a small bowl for the little beast. She scooped some soup and placed it in front of it.
Slurp.
The little beast took a sip impatiently.
Then, its tiny eyes lit up. The food cooked by this human was so delicious.
After it had finished the soup, it pushed the bowl to Xia Muqing.
Seeing that she didn’t move, it even touched her arm.
This time, Xia Muqing didn’t scoop more soup for the little beast. Instead, she tried to tempt it.
“Do you want to have roasted meat and meat soup every day?”
The little beast nodded excitedly.
“Then why don’t you follow me and acknowledge me as your master?”
Squeak squeak.
Anger appeared in the little beast’s eyes. A mere human wanted to be its master!
Xia Muqing’s gentle expression vanished and she confiscated the small bowl made of leaves.
“Since you don’t want to follow me, don’t eat my food.”
The little beast looked at Xia Muqing in disbelief.
With a jerk of its body, it rushed towards the pot.
“You still want to taste the fruit?”
The little beast stopped in mid-air for a second before landing on the ground.
Squeak squeak squeak—
The little beast bared its teeth at Xia Muqing.
Xia Muqing remained unmoved and continued drinking the soup.
After a while, the little beast was already lying on the ground.
Since it couldn’t drink it, it sniffed to catch a whiff of the soup.
It was really pitiful. Xia Muqing was also worried that this fellow would run away in a fit of anger.
Its speed was too swift for Xia Muqing.
She scooped another bowl of soup for the little beast and placed it in front of it.
The little beast stared at Xia Muqing. Its eyes were conveying a message, ‘I won’t acknowledge you as my master.’
“Drink it. I won’t force you.”
The little beast lowered its head and drank the soup.
Xia Muqing said leisurely, “I want to keep a pet, because I usually cook too much food. I can’t finish it all by myself, so a lot of food is wasted. Let me think about what I have. Have you eaten grilled fish before? The fish with fat and fresh flesh is roasted on the fire. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I always add condiments and then when I take a bite, it’s fragrant and yummy.”
Xia Muqing glanced at the little beast who was listening intently and smiled.
“There’s also red bean cake. It’s soft and sticky. With the red bean filling flowing out, it’s still warm in the mouth. It’s a pity that I didn’t finish all ten of them last time and threw four of them away.”
Xia Muqing said it was a pity, and the little beast’s face was full of pity too.
It wished it could go back and eat them on behalf of Xia Muqing.
“And spring cakes, cakes, fried tofu, and chicken…”
Xia Muqing counted with her fingers.
The little beast’s eyes followed her closely.
It didn’t know what Xia Muqing was talking about but it definitely sounded delicious.
After Xia Muqing finished speaking, she turned around to peer at it. The little beast’s lips were glistening.
With a satisfied smile, she raised the request again.
“Do you want to help me eat them all?”
The little beast nodded subconsciously and took a step back warily after it realized its reaction.
This human was too tempting.
It would not fall for it.
In order not to fall for it again, the little beast looked longingly at the soup in the pot.
It disappeared in a flash.
