C8 Part2

Translated by An Edited by An

Yang QiQi sniffed around the room as the smell of food wafted in the air. She wanted to walk towards the table, but Nian JiMo ran over and hugged her.

This was a standard princess hug!

“You’ll catch a cold.” He didn’t dare to look at her as he explained. He put her on the chair by the dining table and went to get the spoon.

Yang QiQi glanced at the unfurnished dining area, and raised her eyebrows.

Both the bowl and spoon were made of an unknown silver metal which was a bit heavy.

The food was in a shade of purple, with some white diced meat and some deep purple and blue pieces of fruit. The colour was really exotic. She didn’t know if this was the usual colour of food here or it was specially prepared for her. Most probably, it was the latter.

Taking a quick glance at Nian JiMo, who was sitting opposite her and waiting nervously for her evaluation, she blew on the food in the spoon and put it in her mouth seriously.

To be honest, the food was not to her taste as it was too sweet.

But this is what he earnestly cooked. Besides, she could make do as long as there was something to eat. She wasn’t a picky eater.

“It’s delicious. Thank you, JiMo.” She smiled at him slightly, thanking him sincerely for taking care of her.

“Don’t say thank you to me.” Nian JiMo carefully observed her expression. His heart felt relaxed after he noticed no sign of hatred disgust against him in her expression. Remembering her words, he felt that the ‘T-Union’ she mentioned before, was probably completely different from their continent. Maybe the customs and conditions there taught her to be independent and grateful.

He hoped to use her ignorance as a source to make her develop strong feelings for himself from a purely selfish point of view. However, he would definitely not be able to keep her oblivious forever. Sooner or later, she would come to know the rules. It’s better to explain their customs now so as not to make her hate him afterwards.

“QiQi, you are not from here, so you might not know the customs here.” Nian JiMo paused. “On this continent, the number of males are far more than that of females. Therefore, the females here, have been accustomed to protection and care of male beastmen since they were born. No female would say ‘thank you’ to a male beastman for the meal he made.”

Yang QiQi, who was chewing the food in her mouth, felt thousands of alpacas dancing above her head.

Male beastmen. Female beastmen.

Beastmen…

Yang QiQi was astounded. She raised her head and looked at Nian JiMo. His gray-blue eyes, the white fine scales on his forehead, and the unusual vibrant braid hanging behind his head…

“Are you the white python that I encountered in the forest?”

“It’s me.” Nian Ji Mo blinked. “I thought you had already recognized me.”

“…”

This is how I get to know that you are that huge white python! Okay?!

The taste of this different world was really heavy.

“It turns out you are that white python. Those three fruits were obviously poisonous. Why did you throw them towards me?” Yang QiQi reacted suddenly. It turned out that the culprit who had caused her that pain was exactly the ‘saviour’ in front of her.

“Saintess fruits are very rare. They are good for females and can be considered to be very precious.” Nian JiMo looked at the angry Yang QiQi. He said helplessly: “I never expected you to come from a faraway country. I also didn’t know you were unaware that this fruit should be eaten one at a time. It takes at least three days to digest one Saintess fruit. It is really painful to eat three at once. I didn’t mean to cause you any pain.”

“Is it not poisonous?”

Well, he might really have been kind at that time. Nevertheless, it was just an extremely painful misunderstanding.

“Not poisonous.”

“You said that fruit is precious. What effect does it have?”

A fruit that can be called very precious must have its own unique values.
