Afraid that Huanhuan would starve, Bai Di had stuffed the space ring with food. There was a lot of prey that they had hunted before.
Huanhuan casually picked a pheasant.
This pheasant was a meter long and as heavy as a wild boar. The long feathers on its tail were colorful. She slowly couldnât help but pluck two.
âItâs quite nice!â
Xue Ling did not hide the disdain in his eyes. âIts feathers are so ugly. Itâs nowhere close to the feathers on my body!â
Huanhuan ignored him.
She plucked all the colorful feathers from the pheasant and set them neatly aside. She planned to make a large colorful feather fan and hang it on the wall of the living room for decoration.
Tonight, she was going to make beggarâs chicken.
She directed Xue Ling to find mud and lotus leaves.
The lotus leaves were easy to handle. Little Lotus had a lot of them. She could just tear off two pieces. However, mud was more difficult for Xue Ling.
He had no intention of getting his beautiful feather coat dirty.
In the end, the wolf cubs went down the mountain to dig up a large lump of mud and brought it back.
Huanhuan looked at Xue Ling in disdain. âYou canât even get some mud. What use do I have for you?â
Xue Ling raised his chin and said arrogantly, âWhen we male beasts of the feather tribe woo females, the more beautiful the feather coat we wear, the more it attracts the femaleâs attention. I still have to keep my feather coat to find a wife. I canât let mud dirty it.â
Huanhuan rolled her eyes. âWith that poisonous mouth of yours, youâll be alone forever.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âYouâre destined to die alone!â
Xue Ling was slightly startled. He thought of something, and his blood-red eyes suddenly dimmed a little. However, when Huanhuan looked over, his eyes returned to normal.
âI wonât die alone.â
It was unknown if he was saying this to others or to himself.
Huanhuan looked at him blankly. âWhat did you say?â
âI say, why did you have to get so much mud for dinner? Can mud be eaten?!â
Huanhuan smiled proudly. âYou donât understand, do you? Mud can be cooked. Iâll show you tonight!â
Xue Ling looked expectant.
Huanhuan cleaned the pheasantâs internal organs and stuffed sweet fruits and potatoes inside. Then, she wrapped it in big lotus leaves before covering that with a thick layer of mud.
The wolf pups had already dug a sizable pit under her direction.
Huanhuan buried the pheasant and lit a fire.
The wolf pups loved flames. As soon as they saw the fire, they leaned over and wagged their tails excitedly.
The skullcap was not interested in flames. It stayed on Huanhuanâs head and quietly pretended to be a wreath.
An iron pot was on the fire. Huanhuan placed the cut vegetables in it and added some dried meat to make a fragrant and rich hot soup.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When it was about time, Huanhuan found a hoe and dug out the pheasant from the ground. She knocked away the soil on the surface.
The rich fragrance immediately filled the air.
Not only were the wolf cubs drooling, but even Xue Ling couldnât help but pay attention.
The sweetness of the sweet fruits had seeped into the chicken, making it even more fresh and delicious. The potatoes had also been cooked. They were soft and tender. They melted in her mouth.
Huanhuan cut off the tender chicken breast, then the drumstick. She handed the pieces to the wolf cubs to eat.
The wolf pups ate with relish.
The rest of the chicken was almost completely wrapped in feathers.
Huanhuan only took a few bites before stopping. Although the chicken was delicious, she still felt a little sick of it. She preferred to eat the potatoes. The hot vegetable soup was amazing!
Xue Ling ate all the meat on the chicken head.
If Huanhuan hadnât been staring at him, he would have chewed the entire chicken head and swallowed it.
He watched longingly as Huanhuan swept those chicken bones away.
Actually, those bones tasted quite deliciousâ¦
Huanhuan couldnât stand his hungry appearance anymore. She casually grabbed a handful of stir-fried sunflower seeds for him. âYouâre welcome.â
With the fragrant stir-fried sunflower seeds, Xue Ling finally stopped looking at the chicken bones.
Huanhuan went to the kitchen to look for pheasant feathers. She planned to make a large colorful feather fan and hang it on the wall for decoration.
Unexpectedly, she searched the entire kitchen and could not find a single feather.
This was strange! She had clearly placed the pheasant feathers in the kitchen previously!
How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?!
She ran out of the kitchen and asked Xue Ling and the wolf cubs, âDid any of you see those pheasant feathers?â
The wolf cubs shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didnât know.
Xue Ling swallowed the sunflower seeds in his mouth and said slowly, âI threw those feathers away.â
Huanhuan was instantly angry. âWho are you to throw my things?!â
âThose ugly feathers are an eyesore.â
âNo matter how ugly they are, theyâre still mine. Donât touch them without my permission!â
Xue Ling took out two fiery red feathers with a look on his face that said, âThis is my compensation to you. Youâre welcome.â
Huanhuan could tell at a glance that they were his feathers. She said angrily, âI donât want your feathers!â
Then, she turned and ran out.
Xue Ling had been at home just now. The pheasant feathers must not have been thrown far. She searched around the house and quickly found the pheasant feathers scattered on the ground.
She took the feathers home and made a big colorful feather fan.
She had planned to hang it on the wall of the living room, but in light of her previous lesson, she was worried that the bird beast would not give up and throw away the pheasant feathers again, so she decided to hang the feather fan in her bedroom.
Huanhuan had just hung up the feather fan when she turned around and saw Xue Ling standing in the doorway. He stared at the feather fan with an unfriendly expression.
She immediately blocked his view and said warily, âItâs late. Go back to your room and sleep.â
Xue Ling sneered and stormed off.
In the middle of the night, Xue Ling quietly walked into the room while Huanhuan was asleep.
He first glanced at Huanhuan before reaching out to take down the colorful feather fan on the wall. His eyes were filled with disgust.
Such a vulgar color. He wondered what the little female liked so much about these feathers!
Flames shot out from Xue Lingâs fingertips as he burned the feather fan.
He made a fan out of the feathers on his body. The fiery color made it look like burning flames. The red was extremely bright and dazzling.
These were the most beautiful feathers!
Xue Ling hung the feather fan upright on the wall, then walked to the bed and lowered his head to kiss Huanhuanâs forehead. Only then did he leave while feeling satisfied.
The next morning, Huanhuan woke up to see the fiery red jade fan hanging on the wall.
As for the five-colored feather fan from before, it had long disappeared.
It must be that bird man Xue Ling!
Huanhuan rushed into the attic aggressively and threw the fiery red jade fan in front of Xue Ling. She said angrily, âWhereâs the feather fan I made? You took it, right? Give it back to me!â
Xue Ling looked like he was still half-asleep. His long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his collar was wide open, revealing a large area of his beautiful chest muscles. He looked like a demon who was capable of enthralling others.
He yawned. âYou mean that ugly feather fan? I burned it.â
âBastard! Who are you to burn my things?!â
