Got it? Why does that sound so reluctant?

Xi Xi frowned, carefully observing the other person's expression.

His handsome face, with its sharp features, appeared exceptionally cold and stern; even without expression, it sent chills down one's spine.

She pursed her lips, wishing she could slap herself for being so talkative. How could such a powerful and knowledgeable man not know this?

But she just blurted it out so casually. What did that make her seem like to others? Was she lecturing them?

She even felt that what the other person was saying at that moment wasn't "I understand," but rather, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

It carries a strong sense of irony!

Xixi didn't dare to say anything more and buried her head in the pheasant in her hand.

The pheasant was roasted until the skin was crispy and the meat was tender.

But because no seasonings were added, it had little flavor, and because it wasn't rinsed with water during processing, it still had some dried bloodstains on it, making it look somewhat...

Well, at least we have food to eat and are still alive!

Xixi didn't complain, after all, now was not the time to be picky, she buried her head and diligently ate, swallowing one bite after another.

In fact, she also had several jars of refined salt and Yunnan tin-made seasonings stored in her space, but she dared not take them out rashly, for fear of exposing her personal space.

While eating in Xixi, Sikong Hongyu picked up the pheasant covered in mud from the ground, and without rinsing it with water, he chewed it with the mud still on it.

Compared to the slightly dry and tough cooked meat, raw meat is very juicy, and you can hear a crunching sound when you eat it, which is the sound of chewing bones.

In Sikong Hongyu's view, even magical beasts have their own ecosystem. The influx of magical beasts into the orc territory is an invasion and should be killed.

However, orcs hunting magical beasts is also an act of invasion. Taking one or two for dried fruit is acceptable, but large-scale hunting would disrupt the balance.

Therefore, even if the pheasant is dirty, it cannot be wasted. Although it cannot be used to serve the mistress, it is fine for the pheasant to be eaten by the pheasant himself.

As Xixi ate, she noticed the other's actions and was surprised that the other was eating a pheasant covered in mud. After all, someone with the other's fighting strength could easily kill another one.

What surprised Xixi even more was that the other party roasted a clean pheasant for her to eat, while he himself ate the dirty one.

It turns out that the reason he hunted the second pheasant was because she accidentally knocked it to the ground, and he didn't want her to eat something dirty.

It was clear that he himself ate the dirty food with great relish.

What does this mean?

Xixi suddenly couldn't understand it at all. As the beast husband of the magnetic bead, and as the beast husband of her enemy, even if he was teasing and playing with her before killing her, there was no need to go to this extent!

If he wanted, he could easily force her to eat raw meat covered in mud!

Perhaps it's not that complicated; he could even force her to eat the feathers plucked from the pheasant and its internal organs!

In such a situation of extreme disparity in power, she was powerless to resist whatever he did.

She had even planned that if she were subjected to torture, she would mix truth and falsehood and vomit something, such as her personal feud with Cizhu and her daughter, including the fact that she had returned for revenge, which would provoke the other party and make her die a quick death.

But the other party not only did not harm her, but also hunted for her and cooked her himself!

She could tell that the other person's grilling technique was very unskilled, much more so than Fatty Orange's, and incomparable to Yunxi's!

But surprisingly, he cooked the meat because she said it was "fishy". What does this mean?

Why?

In the first half, what lingered in Xixi's mind was the question, "Why?" Why were they repeatedly toying with her?

In the second half, the question "why" became a nightmare for her, one that she couldn't shake off.

"Are you still hungry?" The deep voice interrupted Xixi's thoughts. When she came back to her senses, she found that the pheasant in her hand had been eaten clean at some point, leaving only a skeleton.

Moreover, this skeleton was completely clean, without a single piece of meat on it!

Before Xixi could answer, the male said, as if talking to himself, "I put the egg on the fire for a while, but I don't know if it's cooked or not..."

So, he's taken her words to heart and is now asking for her opinion?

Realizing this, Xixi suddenly pictured the other party's beast form in her mind.

At that moment, he descended from the sky and picked her up in his mouth. She was too scared to notice.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, his beastly form was reflected on the ground, growing larger as it appeared…

That little figure looked somewhat familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before!

Thinking of this, she didn't bother to answer the other person's question. Right in front of the other person, she took off her shoes and socks, put her right leg over her left leg, and reached out to look at the animal print on the sole of her right foot!

It's so similar! It's so similar! You could even say it's... exactly the same!

"So you weren't..." dead after all...

Xi Xi looked up with delight, only to see someone with a sad expression.

She awkwardly touched her feet. "Um, did they smell bad? I've been busy lately and haven't washed my feet much... Hehe... Well, if I wash them regularly, my feet don't smell!"

Of course I didn't wash my feet! Ever since leaving the lynx tribe, I first looked for Fat Orange, then got stuck in the no-man's land, and then headed towards the Big Rat tribe. Water was precious along the way, so how could I use it to wash my feet?

At first, Yunxi insisted on fetching water for her, but seeing how hard he was working, Xixi directly ordered that he should stop fetching water for her.

It's been almost half a month since I last washed my feet!

It stinks! Of course it stinks! She can smell it herself!

However, Sikong Hongyu was not saddened by the smell. In fact, he felt that his wife's feet did not smell at all; on the contrary, they smelled just like his.

What truly saddened him was that his mark of the beast was on the soles of his wife's feet!

It is said that the position of the beast mark represents his position in the wife's heart, so in the wife's heart, he was indeed as lowly as mud, only worthy of being trampled underfoot.

Originally, he was also a proud male, soaring under the blue sky, overlooking the beautiful landscape.

Even though his maternal grandmother repeatedly urged him to quickly find a female and have a baby so that he could go back and inherit their position as the priest of Yanshan, he stubbornly refused to comply. He always felt that single males were freer than those males who were trapped in families.

But because of accidentally ingesting herbs, the result was...

If the wife truly had no feelings for him, she shouldn't have saved him in the first place. Letting him die from the poison of love might have been a better ending for him.

Xixi awkwardly rubbed her feet, looking at the other person's increasingly gloomy face, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

what happened?

It was a bit smelly, but conditions on the Beast World Continent were limited, and it was common for beastmen to go a year or two without bathing or washing their feet. Don't be fooled by his neat clothes; if he took off his shoes and socks, he might smell even worse than her!
