Chapter 154 Reaching into the Fire
In comparison, hamsters are small and therefore smaller targets. With grass on her head and hidden in the forest, no one can find her!
But what she never expected was that she had only just started running, and hadn't even run a mile, when a large bird fell from the sky and snatched her in its beak!
Inside your mouth! Yes, inside your mouth!
Just keep it in your mouth!
Xixi looked utterly desperate. What was going on? On the Beast World Continent, the bird-beastmen no longer used their sharp claws to catch people; they used their beaks instead.
However, the bird's beak was not sharp, and it didn't bite very hard. It just carried her gently and flew over the forest.
I must say, the feeling of looking down at the earth from high above is truly breathtaking. If it weren't for this situation, she would have burst into song at the top of her lungs.
Just as Xixi was admiring the beautiful scenery, the large bird that was carrying her suddenly swooped down. When it got closer, Xixi realized that it was another pheasant.
Unlike the previous one, this pheasant was entirely white with a shorter tail, clearly indicating that it was a female.
What's going on? Is this powerful male deliberately picking a fight with this pheasant couple?
Why don't you kill them both? Or, why don't you take the two eggs next to them with you?
Perhaps her heartfelt words were deafening, because after her rant, the man actually packed up the two eggs and took them away, and now the whole family was indeed together.
On the way back, Xixi lost interest in appreciating the scenery. Looking at the pheasant that the other person was holding at his feet, he felt a sense of shared misfortune.
Sure enough, after being put down, Xixi looked at the other person and once again skillfully performed bloodletting, dissecting the abdomen, and removing the internal organs.
After doing all that, the other person presented him with a bloody chicken once again, saying, "Eat!"
The same steps, the same words, the same bloody raw chicken—for a moment, Xixi felt like she was stuck in a bug, but the fishy smell lingering in her nose quickly brought her back to her senses, making her discard those unrealistic thoughts.
However, her instinctive aversion to raw meat caused her to turn her head slightly to the side, and unsurprisingly, she began to gag again.
However, because her stomach was empty, she couldn't vomit anything anymore.
Once might be a coincidence, but what about twice? Even though Sikong Hongyu was rather slow to notice in this regard, he still discovered the anomaly in Xixi.
He carefully chose his words and tentatively asked, "Is it cold?"
Although it was killed on the spot, no matter how fast it was done, it would easily get cold when the autumn wind blew.
Seeing that Xixi did not respond, he assumed that was the case, so he put it on the fire rack to roast.
Xixi looked at the other person in surprise. Could it be that the chicken was really meant for her to eat, and not killed on purpose to show her?
Seeing Xixi's gaze, he assumed that she thought he was too slow, and that his wife must be very hungry since her stomach was empty.
So, he only briefly cooked it over the fire before handing the still-bloody chicken back to Xixi, saying, "Eat!"
The fishy smell lingered, and Xixi had to hold her breath to suppress her urge to vomit. She silently moved back to avoid it.
She realized that the other person didn't seem to have any intention of restraining her. No matter how much she moved, as long as she didn't leave his sight, he didn't seem to react. So, was the reason he tied her up just to keep her warm?
Moreover, she noticed that after she avoided him, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, like a child whose hopes had been dashed.
She mimicked the other person's manner of speaking and replied with a single word, "Stinky!"
To provide an explanation.
To Xixi's surprise, she only said one word, and it was a critical one at that, but the other person's melancholy eyes lit up instantly, and his face was filled with a happy smile, as if he were the silly son of a landlord!
Then, to her astonishment, the powerful male found a stick, skewered the chicken on it, and carefully roasted it over the fire.
He seemed to be doing this for the first time, his movements were stiff and somewhat flustered, and he would often be startled by a sudden burst of flame and quickly pick up the chicken.
Moreover, and most importantly, he didn't bring any salt at all; he just roasted it dry.
Fortunately, he was very quick to learn. After the initial chaos, he actually started to control the fire with wind. In this way, the chicken was roasted perfectly, without a single piece of skin broken!
After a while, the aroma of meat gradually filled the air, and Xixi's empty stomach began to rumble involuntarily.
The powerful male looked over in surprise, and then there was a flurry of activity as he reached into the fire and placed his hand on the chicken.
Xixi could clearly see that because of his dangerous actions, his fair and well-defined hands were immediately scalded and swollen, but he seemed oblivious to the pain and had no intention of retracting them.
After a moment, he looked at Xixi with a serious expression, "It's ripe!"
Xi Xi was astonished, then saw the other person actually take the chicken out of the fire with their bare hands and hand it to her, saying, "Eat!"
For a moment, Xixi couldn't describe her feelings. She didn't know whether to look at his swollen hands or at the chicken in front of her.
"Actually, you don't need to put your hands in the fire to tell if something is raw or cooked." After holding back for a while, Xixi couldn't help but say it.
She took the chicken and broke open the breast section. "Look, the meat here is white, which means the chicken is cooked. If it were red, it wouldn't be cooked."
If everyone puts their hands into a fire pit to judge whether something is cooked or not, then probably no one would dare to cook in their past lives. If you roast your hands like that every day, they'll burn them sooner or later!
Sikong Hongyu's eyes lit up. "Everyone's wife knows so much!"
He performed the pulse readings according to the method used on orcs, who had to touch their pulses with their hands. In his opinion, even if he was burned by the fire, it would be worth it to be able to make his wife's favorite food!
If his wife didn't say anything, he would willingly put his hand into the fire the next time, and the time after that, as long as his wife wanted to eat, even if it meant cutting off one of his own hands. He would just put his other hand into the fire as well. Being able to serve his wife and atone for the sin of losing her would be the greatest happiness of his life!
His wife actually felt sorry for him and told him that he didn't need to put his hands in the fire. She even told him how to tell if something was raw or cooked. His wife was simply a goddess!
In his view, his wife told him the solution out of pity for him; otherwise, she could have just watched him cut off his own hands and then cruelly abandoned him.
After all, in the Central Continent, the vast majority of females treat their beast husbands this way: teasing, abusing, abandoning... all are acceptable, and the beast husband can only silently endure it, and even while enduring it, he must do his best to serve his wife.
After all, the races in the Middle Continent are stronger, the males are more powerful, and the females are fewer!
If it weren't for the fact that males' lifespans had also increased after their combat strength was enhanced, most races would probably have gone extinct by now!
The so-called Holy Female Selection is an opportunity for the four continents, and an even greater opportunity for the Central Continent!
They can even fight each other over a single quota!
For a moment, Sikong Hongyu thought a lot and had a lot to say, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to say them. In the end, he only mumbled, "I know!"
