Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Implicated in a Cub Trafficking Case

In the middle of the night.

Bai Xiaolang’s eyes shot open, and he sat up in bed.

He glanced at the other cubs, who were still sleeping, then tiptoed out of the room.

His frail figure headed down the mountain.

「The next day.」

It was only five or six in the morning, but the foot of the mountain was already buzzing with activity.

"Oh for god’s sake! Who the hell took a dump in my yard?!"

"My chickens! Who let my chickens out?"

"Damn it all! Who cut my power lines?! No wonder it was so hot last night—the AC went out!"

"Where did my clothes that were drying in the yard go?!"

The morning was utter chaos. The ones making all the noise were the very same people who, during yesterday’s commotion, had been gossiping and calling Bai Su a hussy who seduced men.

At that moment, Bai Su was in the kitchen, yawning as she washed rice.

Sleep comes in short supply during the summer.

The moment the four little ones heard her get up, they knew she was about to make something delicious. They were sitting in a neat row at the dining table, eagerly waiting to be fed.

As Bai Su washed the rice, she craned her neck to look outside. "Why is it so noisy down the mountain? Is it market day today?"

Bai Xiaolang replied without a change in expression, "I don’t know."

Little Tiger asked curiously, "Why did Pipi steal the rice from his house?"

Pipi is Xiao Mi’s son.

The little kitten cub whispered from the side, "I think it’s because his mom has gambling debts."

Bai Xiaolang frowned. "I heard about that too. It’s strange."

"The owner of the rice shop said she never sold her child, but Wang Biao’s men clearly showed up at her door with signed and fingerprinted documents to claim the kid."

Little Tiger shook his head. "I don’t get it."

Bai Su cheerfully washed the rice and started cooking. Only after the porridge was simmering on the stove did she have a free moment to gently pull back Bai Xiaolang’s eyelid. "Let me see. How’s your left eye? Can you see anything?"

Bai Xiaolang obediently tilted his head up. "I think I can see a little."

The scars over his eye had sealed it shut, making it impossible to open.

But after days of Bai Su’s relentless feeding, his eye had gradually healed. New flesh had grown, and the skin around it had completely recovered.

He had a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes, their shape fluid and delicate. You could already tell he would grow up to be a handsome man.

However, his eyeball was still regenerating, so his vision was blurry. It wasn’t fully healed yet.

Bai Su nodded in satisfaction. "What about your tail?"

Bai Xiaolang turned and stuck his tail out for her to inspect.

The severed part of his tail had fully reattached, but the fur hadn’t completely grown back yet. The upper half was covered in thick, soft, snow-white wolf fur, while the lower half was still sparse and patchy.

Bai Xiaolang said, "It’s almost better. The connection to my spiritual power has been restored."

He was a Level 5 Snow Wolf. Lately, he’d been feeling a strange, inexplicable restlessness, and he didn’t know where to channel the power building in his tail.

Bai Su nodded in satisfaction. "Very good."

Bai Xiaolang’s injuries were very similar to Lu Tingyan’s.

But Lu Tingyan was an adult, so he probably wasn’t healing as quickly as Bai Xiaolang. Still, he must be much better by now.

Bai Su wondered when she should go ask him. She couldn’t let him keep freeloading off her.

’But the man is so tight-lipped. The moment I mention his past, he puts on a deathly grimace and walks away, acting like I owe him a million bucks.’

Suddenly, another wave of shouting erupted from outside.
