The wicked woman, with her supple waist and incredible escape abilities, was chased madly by her fiv

Chapter 148 Competing for Favor: Whose Cooking is the Best?

"Move aside! Let me sit next to her!"

Silver Nine Radiance pressed its tiger claws against Night Abyss's shoulder, and with a sweep of its tail, it slapped away the oncoming dragon mist, sending it flying in all directions.

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the black dragon mist suddenly transformed into a spirit snake that coiled around the large cat:
"Why should I? You took my spot last time we were on night watch, so you have no chance this time!"

"Don't disturb An'an!"

Lan Cangming frowned, and a ripple of water rose from his palm, separating the two fighting beasts.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fei Zhao stepped onto the carved headboard and rolled off, her fiery red tail wrapping around Su An'an's ankles first.

"You cunning fox! Let go!"

Yin Jiuyao pounced on Fei Zhao by the tail and yanked him off the bed: "An An is mine!"

Just as the four beasts were fighting fiercely, a sobbing voice suddenly came from the bed: "No, don't go!"

Su An'an unconsciously curled up into a small ball, her eyelashes casting trembling shadows under her eyes.

The four beastmen froze on the spot, their hearts feeling as if they were being gripped by sharp claws.

Yin Jiuyao cautiously leaned closer and rubbed his cheek against the back of her hand.

Ye Yuan's pale fingertips gently smoothed the furrowed brows of her face.

Lan Cangming gently brushed her stray hairs aside.

Fei Zhao lowered her ears and gently patted her calves with her tail, as if to soothe the frightened cub.

The drama of vying for favor quickly turned into a bedtime story.

Yin Jiuyao lay domineeringly beside Su An'an, its tail tightly wrapped around her waist, its tiger eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

The black dragon mist from the night abyss materialized and covered her like a blanket, while he leaned against the headboard.

Lan Cangming sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his military uniform hem hanging down naturally, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Fei Zhao curled up helplessly at the foot of the bed, but her tail remained entangled with Su An'an's ankle.

As the moonlight deepened, only the even breathing sounds filled the bedroom.

Tonight's vigil is merely a microcosm of countless days and nights to come.

No matter how much darkness and danger lie ahead.

They will protect Su An'an like an iron wall, keeping her in the softest and safest place.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Su An'an's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, only to be enveloped by four burning gazes in her hazy state.

"woke up?"

Yin Jiuyao reached out to smooth her messy hair, but Fei Zhao beat him to it, her fiery red tail gently brushing against her ankle.
"An'an, you're sleeping so soundly, even your sleep talking is so sweet."

The big cat gritted its teeth in anger, swatted away Fei Zhao's tail with its sharp claws, and strode into the bathroom, not forgetting to turn back and glare at the fox.

Taking the opportunity, Ye Yuan unfolded the skirt in her hand, revealing a pink dress embroidered with crystals that shimmered with a beautiful luster.

Lan Cangming, on the other hand, was holding a pair of high heels studded with pink pearls.

The two beasts, holding their stolen spoils, looked at Su An'an expectantly.

"An'an, I've squeezed the toothpaste onto your toothpaste!"

The big cat emerged from the bathroom triumphantly, a fluffy pink face towel still clutched in its paw.

Surrounded by them, Su An'an felt both annoyed and amused, and nimbly jumped off the bed.

"I don't need you to wait on me hand and foot. Go do what you're supposed to do! I can manage on my own."

She rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind, leaving four figures staring at each other in bewilderment, with faint sounds of arguing still audible from inside.

When Su An'an changed into her brand-new combat uniform and walked out in a heroic manner, the dishes on the table were a magical showdown between a "dark cuisine extravaganza" and a "miracle on the tip of the tongue".

Yin Jiuyao's heart-shaped tiger-stripe egg was shiny black, with crisscrossing charred marks on the surface, like a meteorite struck by lightning, and still stubbornly emitting wisps of smoke.

On Fei Zhao's baked cake, the fox's smiling face drawn in cream was so distorted that it looked as if it had just gone through an emoji battle. Its ears were tilted to one side, its eyes were different sizes, and its mouth had a strange curve.

Lan Cangming's seafood rice porridge is even more amazing. The bubbles rise to the top, glowing with a faint blue light, like a pot of witch's potion ready to cast a spell at any moment.

Only Ye Yuan's grilled steak stood out from the crowd, its sizzling, oily surface glistening with a caramel-colored sheen.

The rich aroma is so enticing that it makes your mouth water, making it a savior in the world of food amidst a "disaster scene".

All four pairs of beastly eyes locked onto Su An'an.

Yin Jiuyao's tail curled into a ball of fur nervously.

Fei Zhao's ears stood straight up. Lan Cangming's elegant sitting posture concealed taut muscles.

Ye Yuan calmly wiped his knife.

Help! Can't the big cat, the big fish, and the fox have any self-awareness?

The little pink couldn't help but complain in Su An'an's mind:

【Your Highness, if you don't want to go into the medical ward, then choose Night Abyss's steak!】

Su An'an decisively picked up a knife and fork, and the moment the blade cut into the steak, tender juices slowly seeped out.

A victorious smile curled at the corners of Ye Yuan's lips.

Yin Jiuyao listlessly picked at the charred tiger-striped egg.

Fei Zhao poked at the deformed cake with a wronged expression.

Lan Cangming silently pulled the seafood rice porridge, which was bubbling strangely, back into the container.

"Don't look so long." Su An'an took a big bite of her steak and asked, "Tell me, how's the battle plan coming along?"

"Foolproof!"

Yin Jiuyao stuffed a large mouthful of charred tiger-striped egg into his mouth, his brow furrowing in bitterness.

"The Black Bull Clan has assembled and is ready to depart at any time."
Fei Zhao ate the cake, her tail trembling with sweetness.

After finishing the seafood porridge, Lan Cangming was speechless.

Seeing their miserable state, Ye Yuan couldn't help but smirk and said to Su An'an:

"The fox and I will split up with you and rejoin you in the underground alchemy room."

"Okay, let's go!"

Su An'an finished her steak in a few bites, then got up and walked towards the large square of the abandoned women's quarters.

Lan Cangming and Yin Jiuyao followed closely behind.

Ye Yuan and Fei Zhao glanced at her retreating figure with reluctance before turning and walking towards the side door.

On the large square of the abandoned female residence.

The Black Bull warriors, clad in animal hide armor and wielding gleaming bone spears, stood in orderly ranks like a forest of steel.

As soon as Su An'an appeared, thousands of spears struck the shield instantly, the booming sound like rolling thunder.

"Your Highness, the Black Bull Clan has assembled."

Hosen, dressed in animal hide armor, came over; the fourteen-year-old orc exuded a chilling aura.

"Where are your clan leader and Sherry?"

Su An'an glanced at the Black Bull Clan warrior.

The dense array of bull horns gleamed coldly in the sunlight, but no females were in sight.

"Does Your Highness need them for something?"

A hint of unease flashed in Hossen's eyes as he gripped the bone knife at his waist.

"The high priest said that the females should stay behind to prepare medicine for the wounds. The chieftain has already taken Sherry and the females of the tribe to sew bandages."

"Let them come."

Su An'an's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Hosen opened his mouth, but ultimately lowered his head.

A moment later, the high priest of the bull tribe walked over with a hunched back, his bull horns, adorned with ancient gems, bearing the marks of time.

Niu Biqi followed behind her with a helpless expression.

Although she longed to join the war, she couldn't overcome the high priest's stubbornness.

Niu Xueli looked at Su An'an with guilt, while more than twenty female beastmen timidly hid behind the high priest.

“Your Highness, the females of the Black Bull tribe have always been only responsible for reproduction and logistics.”

The high priest's cloudy eyes darted around, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Sending them to the battlefield is against ancestral teachings."

"You just want to hide behind the males and wait to be protected?"

Su An'an took a step forward, her black military boots crunching over the gravel:

"The dark forces of Black Star are eyeing you natives with predatory intent. When all the male beasts fall, how will you females hiding in the rear survive?"
