OCTOBER’S EXTRA CHAPTER. Enjoy~

The three walked all the way back to the small house without uttering another word. After entering, Yang QiQi asked Xu ‘to feel free to do anything he wished for’ while she rushed to the bathroom.

When she came out all fresh and clean, her food was already prepared and served on the table: golden egg fried rice and a big bowl of fresh vegetable soup. In such a short period, he could only come up with some simple dishes. However, since it came from Ling Yue’s hands, everything was looked, smelled and obviously, tasted great.

“Lord Xu, you don’t need to be formal. Please try our Ling Yue’s craftsmanship.” Yang QiQi sat down and immediately began eating. She was indeed very hungry. The duel with Bei Qing had consumed a lot of her energy.

“From now on, just call me Xu.”

“En en.” At this moment, Yang QiQi’s mouth was fully stuffed with food, so she could only make some indistinct noises to indicate her acceptance.

Xu grabbed a spoon and scooped up some rice. He opened his mouth quite gracefully and put it in. After chewing twice, his eyes lit up and he glanced at the silently eating Ling Yue with admiration.

Sure enough, his cooking skills were really good. People would be fortunate to have such a person by their side.

Ling Yue ate very slowly. His head was lowered all the time as if someone had sucked out all his energy. His state was similar to a prisoner waiting for trial.

When she was almost full, Yang QiQi’s eating speed also slowed down and she finally had time to pay attention to Ling Yue.

“Ling Yue, what exactly happened today? Is it okay to tell us?”

Although she had seen what happened, she preferred to listen to his side of the story before making a decision.

“I and Female Warrior Zong Ping’s Guardian Beasts were actually a part of the same team. Two years ago, we intended to accept the olive branch thrown by Female Warrior Zong Ping as her Guardian Beasts. However, a Yellow-Ranked Female Warrior (1) came to the Saintess Hall for some official business. She took a dancy to a little male beastman in my team.” When Ling Yue raised his head to look at Yang QiQi at this time, his eyes were hurt, frustrated, and also indignant. “Even though she was a high-ranking Female Warrior, she was already 57 years old while the little male she was interested in had only turned 10 that year. She got furious at me when I couldn’t control myself and pleaded with her to let go of that little male.”

‘This Sister hates this type of old female beastmen who rely on their identity to take advantage of the children.’ Hearing Ling Yue encountering this kind of thing, she thought of the scene she saw on the road [ T/N: Refer to chapter 40.1 if you forgot :3] when they came to this Saintess Hall. She immediately frowned and asked, “What happened after that?”

Ling Yue tried to recall before speaking again: “After that, she took that little male away with her and prompted some male beasts to beat me up. I knew that I had offended a high-ranked Female Warrior so I took the initiative to leave the team in fear of implicating the other members. Later, Zong Ping also drew a clear line with me. Thus, we had no time to form any connection.”

“As for what happened today… A member of that old team came to me saying that he wanted to discuss something with me. It was only after he led me into the orchard did I realize that it was actually Zong Ping who wanted to speak with me.” Ling Yue set his eyes on Yang QiQi’s face and continued. : “She wants me to reconsider being her Guardian Beast. She said that she had still reserved the position of the team leader for me.”

Team leader huh… That was the one who was led her Guardian Beasts. This position was the same as the position of a man’s main wife under the polygamous practice in the feudal society, wasn’t it? This proposal should be very attractive to a male beastman.

“Then what do you want? Do you want to go to her side?”

Ling Yue’s complexion immediately turned deathly pale when he heard her question. He stared at her and said in a heavy voice, “I, Ling Yue, am your, Yang QiQi’s Guardian Beast. Perhaps you only see us as your ‘collaborators’, but in my heart, we are not.” Seeing her frown, he spoke up before she could even open her mouth: “You don’t have to push me or drive me away. I won’t do anything like this in the future not would I involve you with my feelings.”

Saying this, he got up and dashed out.

“Hey! What did you mean by that ah?” Yang QiQi looked at the door, her mind filled with questions.

Xu calmly drank the soup and sighed with satisfaction: “I think, after he entered the orchard, he understood what that Zong Ping was going to do. However, instead of leaving immediately, he just followed her lead. It is quite possible that he wanted to check his position in your heart. He beat her in her own game. Zong Ping wanted to use him to embarrass you but he used Zong Ping to probe your feelings for him.”

Ling Yue, I have spoken so much for you after eating the food you cooked. This should be considered as my repayment. Xu announced in his heart.

Yang QiQi: ‘This Sister has said it countless times. Does he still need to verify it?!’

“Ling Yue is gone ah. Who will clean up the table now?” She blinked her limpid eyes and looked at the handsome Xu expectantly.

Xu narrowly escaped spraying out the soup in his mouth on the table after he heard her words. He could only yell in his heart: ‘Ling Yue, you don’t need to sound out her feeling for you anymore. Your position in her heart is very important, you are her indispensable cook + male servant…’
