Chapter 147: Chapter 149: Su Luoluo’s Pregnancy Daily Life (2)

Luan Ting took the eggs from Fu Feng, cracked a few into a pottery basin, and mixed them thoroughly with the flour.

He then drizzled some lard into an earthenware pot. Using a clay ladle, he scooped up some batter and poured it in. Soon, Luan Ting had griddled a glistening, golden egg pancake.

Seeing Luan Ting perfectly replicate Su Luoluo’s recipe, Fu Feng exclaimed, "Luan Ting, you’re amazing! This egg pancake looks exactly like the ones Su Luoluo makes."

Luan Ting looked at the respectable-looking pancake in the pot, a faint smile gracing his lips. "It’s my first try. I have no idea if it’ll taste any good."

He had made the pancake relying entirely on his memory of watching Su Luoluo cook them before.

’He had no idea if it would actually taste good, but it should be edible, at least.’

’When Su Luoluo wakes up, she can eat the breakfast he made for her right away.’

Su Luoluo, who was watching from nearby, was quite surprised.

’I can’t believe Luan Ting is such a fast learner. He picked it up just by watching me make them a few times.’

Just as she was about to walk over, Nantu appeared out of nowhere. He held several silvery-white fish, which he passed to Luan Ting. "Here. The females in the tribe say that anyone pregnant with a cub should drink lots of fish soup."

Luan Ting glanced at the fish, which had already been gutted and cleaned, and nodded. "Set them over there for now. I’ll make it later."

Hearing this, Nantu nodded, took a pottery bowl from the cupboard, and placed the fish inside it.

Xi Yi emerged from the jungle, yawning as he carried several pheasants. Seeing everyone busy in the outdoor kitchen, he said with a grin, "So lively? Quite the gathering we have here."

Though he spoke with a smile, no one paid him any mind.

He wasn’t annoyed by the lack of a response. After casually hanging the chickens on a nearby tree branch, he leaned against a pavilion pillar to watch Luan Ting cook. "Making those for Luoluo? Why don’t I take them to her for you?"

At this, Mo Xuan snorted. "Why should you get to play the hero with the pancakes we made? If you want to give her something, go make it yourself."

’That Xi Yi really has some nerve. He’s so shameless.’

Xi Yi rubbed his chin and chuckled. "I’m just trying to keep you all from fighting. There are so many of you, and who knows whose cub Luoluo is carrying? But me, I’m different. My relationship with Luoluo is completely innocent. If I take it to her, then none of you have to fight over who gets to do it."

"Hmph, what a lame excuse! Even if that were true, it still wouldn’t be your place," Fu Feng, who had been listening from the side, scoffed.

’This devious Lizard is one of my rivals, too.’

’I absolutely cannot be the last one this time.’

Xi Yi said languidly, "What lame excuse? We don’t even know when Luoluo is getting up. These pancakes won’t be any good once they’re cold. It’d be better to just let me take them to her."

As he spoke, Xi Yi glanced at the others busy around the stove. "Or are you all just planning to wait here for Luoluo to come to you?"

They all knew Xi Yi was just trying to stir up trouble and sow discord among them, but his words still hit home.

’Never mind anything else, Su Luoluo is carrying their cub. They should be the ones bringing things to her!’

’Besides, their opportunities to get intimate with her would be even rarer during the pregnancy.’

’If any of them wanted to spend more time alone with Su Luoluo, they had to keep her happy.’

On the surface, none of them let anything show, but inwardly, they were all itching to make a move.

Xi Yi glanced at the posers in front of him and rolled his eyes. ’What are they putting on a show for?’

’They’ll just end up sneaking off to see her in private later anyway.’

Watching from afar, Su Luoluo had initially thought it was a nice scene. Without her around, the men were able to fend for themselves; they had even picked up some of her cooking skills.

But that was until Xi Yi showed up. She couldn’t help but purse her lips.

’That Xi Yi is really something else...’

’There’s never a moment’s peace with him around.’

’It’s like he’s not happy unless the world is in chaos.’

Remembering that the system had said his identity was unusual, Su Luoluo couldn’t help but be wary of Xi Yi’s words.

’Never mind the others, but with Mo Xuan’s temperament, he really might take the food to her.’

Hearing this, Su Luoluo decided it was time to intervene. She deliberately made her footsteps louder as she approached. "What are you all doing? Have you eaten yet, crowding around here like this?"

Although she had woken up late, Su Luoluo felt no shame, nor did she feel the least bit guilty for not having cooked for them.

She had always believed that her relationship with these Beastmen did not obligate her to cook for them.

She would cook if she felt like it and wouldn’t if she didn’t. Her own feelings were her top priority.

Therefore, she approached them with complete confidence, having already decided how she would react if they got angry.

But as she drew near, the Beastmen just stopped what they were doing and looked at her for a long moment. Not one of them uttered a word of blame.

In fact, Mo Xuan thoughtfully handed her a pair of chopsticks. "You must be hungry. We made some egg pancakes."

Luan Ting then passed her a pancake, smiling as he looked at her. "I wonder how the taste compares to yours?"

Su Luoluo stared at the golden, crispy egg pancake before her, slightly taken aback.

Even though she had watched Luan Ting make it, seeing it up close surprised her all over again. The pancake was truly perfect. If she didn’t know for a fact that he had never cooked one before, Su Luoluo would never have believed this was his first attempt.

Su Luoluo picked one up with her chopsticks and took a bite. A savory, crispy texture instantly filled her mouth. The flavor was every bit as good as when she made them.

Luan Ting’s eyes crinkled in a smile as he watched her. "How is it?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "It’s delicious. No different from when I make them."

Hearing this, the smile in Luan Ting’s eyes deepened.

Seeing that Su Luoluo only had eyes for Luan Ting, Mo Xuan hurriedly chimed in to claim credit, "I picked the wild onions."

Fu Feng was quick to add, "And I was the one who washed and chopped them."

Su Luoluo watched the two of them vying for credit like children and shot them an amused glance. "You both did a great job."

Xiao Ye walked past them carrying some corn. He looked at Su Luoluo and said, "The corn is roasted. Come eat some!"

At his words, Su Luoluo walked over to the round table and sat down.

Seeing Su Luoluo sit down at the table, Nantu placed some wild fruits he had picked to the side. "These are sweetfruits. They’re very sweet, not sour at all."

Su Luoluo nodded. "I see."

Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Luan Ting brought the rest of the egg pancakes to the table.

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast spread before her, Su Luoluo was filled with emotion.

’I never thought I’d see the day when someone else would make breakfast for me.’

Xi Yi sauntered over and sat down, pointing to the pheasants in the tree. "I can’t cook, so I hunted a few pheasants for you. I hear they’re very nourishing for a female carrying a cub."

Nantu quickly added, "I brought some fish, too. A soup would be very good for you."

And just like that, Su Luoluo’s peaceful meal was shattered by those two.

She had been enjoying a relaxing morning, happy to eat a breakfast she didn’t have to cook. But now, several pairs of eyes were staring straight at her.

Su Luoluo glanced at the six men around the table. "What are you all looking at me for? Eat!"

Fu Feng had been agonizing all night. After thinking it over and over, he decided he had to ask Su Luoluo for a clear answer. He looked at her and said, "Just tell me the truth. Are you really pregnant with a cub or not?"
