Xixi ended the unpleasant conversation with a string of curses, then changed her position, half-lying on the bed, and continued to pet the cat in her arms.

But I'm worried about her appetite.

She originally thought that Fatty Orange's dowry was enough, but she never expected that today's trip would wipe it all out.

If you do the math, even with the doctor's consultation fee, it probably won't last more than a few times. It might be all gone before this baby is even born.

It seems she needs to find a way to get more crystals back.

How do you get crystals?

She does have combat power, but a level one combat power is not enough to capture prey independently. If she teams up with others, she will probably not be able to hide the fact that she has level one combat power. How will she explain it then?

Is it said to be innate, just like superior spiritual power?

This has never happened before in the entire Beast World continent; who knows how big a storm it will cause.

She wasn't afraid, but what if this implicated Fatty Orange?

As she pondered this, she gradually fell asleep while holding the chubby orange.

Even in her dreams, this question lingered in her mind. She didn't know how much time had passed, how many dreams she had, or how many bizarre experiences she had and how many strange results she had, until finally, a brilliant idea struck her...

I've come up with a brilliant idea!

She sat up with a loud groan, startling the chubby orange cat in her arms awake.

Fat Orange instinctively reached out to hug him, but then realized he was in beast form. Recalling the events of last night, his face flushed slightly. He turned his head away, reverting to human form, and quickly got dressed and stood up. "Um, I'll make you breakfast. What do you want to eat today?"

"Let's have some barbecue!" After all, besides barbecue, Fat Orange doesn't know how to do anything else.

"Yes, my father just sent over some fresh venison yesterday." With that, he pushed open the door and went out.

It was sent by the chief again; it's been two months now.

Since the old man visited once, Fat Orange has never gone out hunting again. Even when the chief came to find him for an important mission, he refused.

Not only did they refuse to go out, but they also ate the chief's prey.

It's unbelievable how far they've gone from relying on their fathers to this point.

Even Nuan Nuan came to persuade him many times about this, but after being persuaded so many times, he even started avoiding seeing Nuan Nuan.

"Fat Orange, you can go hunting with your old man." Since officially becoming partners with Fat Orange, he has started calling the chief by Fat Orange's name in private, sometimes "Dad" and sometimes "Grandpa".

But in front of outsiders, he is still respectfully addressed as Chief.

Hearing Xixi's words, Fatty Orange didn't react, continuing what he was doing, even forcing a smile, "You've been waiting impatiently, haven't you? It'll be ready soon!"

"Fat Orange, you're going hunting with your dad!" Xixi repeated, her tone slightly more forceful. In the small kitchen, Xixi was certain that Fat Orange had heard her.

He paused only for a moment, then continued grilling the meat as if nothing had happened, muttering to himself, "My grilling skills are getting better and better, all thanks to Xixi's excellent training!"

"Fat Orange, I'm talking to you!" This time, Xixi squatted down directly, looked the other person in the eye, and even reached out to pull him.

Fat Orange remained silent, lost in thought. Even his grilling motions stopped, large drops of oil sliding down the meat slices and rolling into the flames.

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, shooting high into the air. Xixi had never expected this and screamed in terror.

Fat Orange suddenly snapped back to reality and pounced on her, causing the grill to flip over. The meat that was already cooked and almost cooked fell into the flames, making the fire even bigger.

Fortunately, Fatty Orange was quick enough to carry Xixi away from the kitchen before the flames burned her.

However, the fire that was so hard to put out yesterday has finally reignited.

The kitchen, which we managed to save with great difficulty, ultimately couldn't be saved.

"Xixi, how are you? Are you hurt?" More than a kitchen, Fatty Orange was concerned about his wife, Xixi.

Xixi shook her head, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me when I'm talking to you?"

"I..." Looking at Xixi's earnest yet puzzled face, Fatty Orange was speechless. After pausing several times, he finally choked out, "I don't want to leave you. I want... I want to take care of you forever..."

"Who says an eighth-level warrior has to go hunting? I can also take care of household chores. I can cook for you. Don't you love my roasted meat the most? I can heat your bathwater every day, knead animal hides to make clothes for you, and decorate your home... I... although I'm not very good at it, I'm improving, aren't I?"

"Xixi, please, don't send me away, I really don't want to leave you!"

"If...if one day you grow tired of me, please don't abandon me, don't let others take care of me. I only wish to die in your hands, and I am willing to die in your hands!"

While saying the previous sentences, Fatty Orange kept his head down, looking around or with a wandering gaze. But when he said the last sentence, his eyes were red, yet he stared intently at Xixi with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.

This was the second time Fatty Orange had mentioned "death," and compared to his trembling fear yesterday, he seemed quite calm now, with a hint of wistful satisfaction.

Subconsciously, Xixi felt that perhaps Pangju had misunderstood something, but what exactly was it?

Before Xixi could think it through, the kind-hearted lynx-strewn crowd rushed over and expertly began extinguishing the fire. A particularly helpful older woman approached Xixi, offering words of advice: "It's alright for newlyweds to be a little reckless. I'm an experienced woman, but even though it's like dry tinder and a raging fire, we can't let it really burn. These houses are all next to each other; if the fire spreads, I'm afraid no one will escape!"

"We adults are fine, but there are still some little ones who haven't taken human form yet. When the time comes... right? Don't think I'm being a nag. Young people can have other forms of entertainment together!"

These words, coupled with the aunt's knowing look, made Xixi's face turn bright red, and she felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone!

Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word. Fortunately, Fatty Orange came to her rescue in time, "It's not what you think. I was grilling meat and lost focus for a moment, causing the brazier to tip over. It has nothing to do with Xixi."

The woman didn't refute, but the look in her eyes clearly said, "I don't believe a single word you're saying!"

Xi Xi sighed softly, feeling that this matter was truly inexplicable.

Fortunately, these people didn't stay long. After putting out the fire, they left in a hurry. But as they left, they kept winking at them, and it was unclear what they were trying to say.
