The welcome banquet was set up on the first floor of the Divine Wood Temple. There were tables and chairs made of wood, as well as cups and plates made of grass and petals. The place and set-up had a refreshing aura.
As Bai Di and Xuan Wei did not like to eat vegetables, they did not look forward to the welcome banquet of the Divine Wood clan.
But when the dishes were served, they were surprised to find meat!
It was sliced into slices. They were white and did not have any seasoning. They looked very light, but compared to the fruits and vegetables, it was obviously more to Bai Di and Xuan Weiâs taste.
Bai Di tried to eat it, but to his surprise, it wasnât meat!
It tasted very soft in his mouth. It did taste a little like fatty meat, but it was not as greasy as meat. It had a faint fragrance in his mouth.
Noticing Bai Diâs puzzled expression, Xue Hui took the initiative to explain, âThese are dishes made of Moonlight Mushrooms. These mushrooms are soft and delicious. Theyâre very similar to the meat dishes you carnivores like, so I specially got someone to prepare these for you.â
Hearing this, Huanhuan was curious and tried a Moonlight Mushroom.
It was unexpectedly delicious.
She whispered to Bai Di, âWhen we get home, weâll plant some mushrooms too.â
Mushrooms were especially nice when used to make soup. They were also delicious when stir-fried with vegetables and cooked in hotpot!
Thinking of the various ways to eat mushrooms, Huanhuan couldnât help but swallow again.
Bai Di knew exactly what she was thinking when he saw her gluttony. He smiled indulgently. âOkay.â
In order to welcome Huanhuan, Bi Huan personally attended the welcome banquet. He got someone to bring five cups of fruit dew to Huanhuan and Xuan Wei.
The fruit dew was in wooden cups. Huanhuan peeked around and realized that the contents in all five cups were different colors.
The contents of the glass in front of her were pink and looked especially cute.
The contents of Bai Diâs cup were golden, Xue Lingâs was orange-red, and Xuan Weiâs was light green.
Bi Huan smiled. âI made the fruit dew myself. I hope you like it.â
Xue Hui looked at the five of them enviously. âNot only does the high priest make yummy fruit dew, but it also has all kinds of magical effects. For example, Huanhuanâs cup of pink fruit dew has the effect of beautifying oneâs face. Iâve only drunk it once in the past, and the high priest has never made it for me again.â
Huanhuan blinked. âI can give you half of mine.â
Xue Hui cheered up at this and was about to agree when she was stopped by Bi Huanâs cough.
Bi Huan coughed twice and said, âIf you want to drink it, Iâll make it for you later. This glass of fruit dew is specially for Huanhuan. Donât snatch her things.â
Huanhuan quickly said, âItâs fine even if I donât drink itâ¦â
âNo, these are the rules. You canât mess around.â
Seeing Bi Huanâs serious expression, Huanhuan could not say anything else. She looked at Xue Hui apologetically.
Xue Hui smiled. âDonât look at me like that. The high priest has already said that heâll make more fruit dew for me. Iâm looking forward to it. Hurry up and drink your fruit dew. If you leave it for too long, it wonât taste fresh.â
Huanhuan replied, âOkay.â
She picked up the cup and took a small sip. It was sour and sweet with a refreshing fruity fragrance. It was indeed delicious.
Huanhuan took another big sip.
Bi Huan asked, âHow does it taste?â
âItâs delicious!â Huanhuan praised sincerely.
âIâm glad you like it.â Bi Huan was very relieved. âIf thereâs a chance in the future, Iâll make you a few more cups of fruit dew.â
Huanhuan was flattered and quickly waved her hand. âYouâre so busy. Iâm very satisfied that you found the time to make me a cup of fruit dew. You donât have to waste your time on me.â
Bi Huan looked at her obedient and cute appearance and couldnât help but sigh.
âYouâre a good child. If only my son was as obedient and sensible as you.â
At this, he looked around and realized that there was no sign of Ah Gui at the table. He turned to look at the sled. âWhereâs Ah Gui?â
Xue Hui thought for a moment before saying, âHis stomach hurt just now. He probably went to the bathroom.â
She had just finished talking when Ah Gui appeared.
When Bi Huan saw him, he asked, âDidnât I inform you yesterday that there was a welcome banquet today? Where did you go just now? Why did you only come now?â
Ah Gui did not see Xue Hui mouthing at him. He opened his mouth and randomly lied, âI accidentally fell when I went out just now and dirtied my clothes. I just went back to change.â
Xue Hui covered her forehead. What a stupid teammate!
Bi Huan turned to look at Xue Hui. âDidnât you just say his stomach hurt?â
Xue Hui had nothing to say. She could only lower her head and accept the scolding.
Bi Huan sneered. âItâs fine if heâs fooling around, but youâre covering for him. The two of you complement each other very well!â
Xue Hui would always be willing to admit her mistake. She quickly nodded and said, âYouâre right.â
Bi Huan: ââ¦â
Ah Gui said stiffly, âCome at me if you have anything to say. Donât get angry at Sister Xue Hui.â
Xue Hui quickly shot him a look to stop him from adding fuel to the fire.
Bi Huan frowned. âWhatâs with your attitude? Youâre the one who did something wrong. Canât I even say a few words?â
âWhat did I do wrong?â he asked reasonably.
âI told you yesterday that this welcome banquet is very important. Why are you late? Did you ignore what I said?!â
âSo what if Iâm late? It doesnât matter whether Iâm here or not!â
âYou!â
Bi Huan frowned in anger, his green eyes turning dark green.
Ah Gui felt a little weak under his glare, but then he puffed out his chest and glared back at him, showing that he was not afraid of him at all.
The originally happy atmosphere instantly quietened down.
Xue Hui quickly got up and pulled Ah Gui aside. She whispered, âThere are guests present today. Donât say too much. Do me a favor, okay?â
Ah Gui was still angry, but he gave Xue Hui face and replied angrily, âAlright.â
Xue Hui pulled him to a seat. Bi Huan glanced at him. Although he was unhappy, he didnât say anything else.
Xue Hui smiled and said a few words to ease the atmosphere before suppressing the awkward atmosphere.
After eating and drinking, Bai Di carried Huanhuan back.
Huanhuan instructed, âWe have to teach the children well in the future. We canât be fierce to them for no reason. Donât let them become as awkward as Ah Gui.â
It was really tiring to raise a brat!
Bai Di smiled. âBig White and Little White are very obedient.â
Speaking of the tiger babies, Huanhuan couldnât help but sigh. She hoped that these messy things would pass quickly. She missed the children.
Upon returning to their residence, Huanhuan yawned.
Bai Di saw that she was sleepy, so he put her to bed and covered her with a blanket.
Huanhuan closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
She had a lot of dreams that night.
