Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Wen Dabao Heroically Saves Her Mother

Her heart went cold. Before she could even react, a hand clamped over her mouth, and she was dragged deeper into the alley.

Kong Ji, his arms full of food, watched her disappear right before his eyes. He hurriedly released his spiritual power, conducting a blanket search, but found nothing.

As Bai Su struggled, she was just about to pull out an item she had redeemed from the system to escape.

Suddenly, a small figure dropped from the sky and, with one kick, blew apart the head of the person behind her.

Bai Su froze. The little one was fully armed and wrapped up from head to toe, leaving only their eyes visible.

The only other things exposed were two red fox ears and a fluffy fox tail.

’A little fox Beastman?’

With clean and efficient movements, the little one drove off the person who had restrained her.

Strangely enough, the assailant, who had been so fierce just moments ago, gave up with surprising haste and simply ran off.

The little one didn’t give chase, just turned to look at Bai Su. "Are you okay?"

Their voice, muffled by a mask, was low and raspy, like that of a little boy with a hoarse throat.

Bai Su shook her head. "I’m fine. Are... are you okay?"

The little one shook their head.

Bai Su said, "Thank you for saving me just now. You’re amazing."

The little one suddenly said, "I know you. Your cooking is delicious."

Bai Su paused, then smiled and nodded. "Yes, that’s right. Would you like to come to my place for a meal? It would be a good chance for me to thank you for your help today."

The little one shook their head, then nodded. After a long moment of indecision, they looked up at her. "If you want to thank me, could you give me one of your homemade puddings? A strawberry-flavored one."

Bai Su smiled and nodded. "Of course!"

She took the little one’s hand and led them out of the alley, meeting up with a frantic Kong Ji not far away.

「In the depths of the alley.」

The figure hidden in the shadows had a slender, graceful build—it was, surprisingly, the very person who had just tried to abduct Bai Su.

A subordinate standing nearby trembled. "Boss, you failed the mission?"

This was their department’s second-in-command, the strongest after Leia, and she had never failed a mission before.

The mysterious person hummed. "Mhm, I failed."

The subordinate’s expression turned strange. "But you’ve never failed before. This..."

The mysterious person glanced at him. "Tsk... you have a point."

She stroked her chin, her eyes lighting up. "If I kill you, then no one will know I failed!"

The subordinate’s face drained of color. He dropped to his knees to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

The shadow of a scorpion tail, like that of a colossal monster, fell over the subordinate, engulfing him.

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the alley, followed by the dull thud of a body hitting the ground.

The mysterious person stepped out of the shadows and slowly removed her mask, revealing none other than Li Yue from the Lanton Research Room.

Unlike her usual ice-cold demeanor at the research lab, her face now held a careless smile, her red lips curved slightly.

"Tsk... Don’t say I didn’t warn you that danger is approaching, little Susu."

’The food she feeds me every day is so delicious. If she really dies at the hands of that little psycho Leia, I’ll be heartbroken.’

Bai Su led the little fox, who was wrapped up like a little mummy, back home.

No one was home at the moment. Lu Tingyan and Yelias must have gone to work.

The three little ones weren’t home either.

Hua Hua was there, but it was probably sleeping.

Without disturbing anyone else, Bai Su led the little one to the kitchen and lifted them onto the counter to sit.

The little one seemed a bit uncomfortable. "You... don’t hold me."

Bai Su let out a little laugh. "Okay, I’m sorry. You’re just too cute, I couldn’t resist."

’Who could say no to a fluffy little benefactor?’

She then asked, "Have you had breakfast? Want to eat something together?"
