Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 184: Snakes Also Have Two Faces

Bai Xiaolang yawned and nudged Bai Xiao Zhu beside him with his foot. "Is it time yet?"

Bai Xiao Zhu didn’t even turn his head. "Not yet."

Bai Xiaolang raised his hand to glance at his smart device and pulled the little rabbit to his side. "Let’s go. Kindergarten should be getting out now. We’ll walk you home."

Wen Xiaobao reluctantly hugged Bai Xiaolang’s arm. "Aww..."

’She really liked these three big brothers. They were so nice, and they would patiently take turns playing with her.’

’They even protected her at school.’

’If only they were her real brothers.’

’Then she could even score a pretty auntie for a mom.’

The little one sighed wistfully.

Bai Xiaolang patted her little head. "Do you want to learn how to fight? I can teach you."

Wen Xiaobao shook her head. "My sister won’t let me learn..."

Bai Xiaolang was surprised. "You have a sister?"

A flash of panic crossed Wen Xiaobao’s little face. "Oh... no, I mean, a big sister in my neighborhood. My dad won’t let me learn, either."

Bai Xiaolang didn’t press the issue. ’After all, such a cute little female would be a deeply cherished treasure in any family. It’s only natural they wouldn’t want her learning how to fight.’

The group walked Wen Xiaobao home, only to discover her house was right across the street from Bai Su’s restaurant.

Wen Xiaobao saw the second-floor curtains were drawn and knew someone was home.

She quickly turned to the three big brothers and said, "I... I’m home now. Thank you, big brothers. I can go in by myself."

Bai Xiaolang nodded, watching the little one go inside.

「The next day.」

Unwilling to accept defeat, the Mermaid Princess returned to stir up trouble.

She came to the restaurant in person, demanding to see Bai Su by name.

Bai Su was in the middle of a cooking livestream and completely ignored her.

Yan Qingya gave Bai Su a troubled look. "What should we do? She’s stormed right into the restaurant. As a princess and a female, it’s not like we can just throw her out."

Bai Su said, "If she orders something, serve her like any other customer. If she doesn’t, kick her out. Don’t be afraid to be firm; it’ll be fine."

Yan Qingya was a little hesitant. "Can we really do that?"

’She is a foreign guest, after all. If she’s treated rudely in our restaurant, won’t it really affect relations between our two countries?’

Bai Su nodded. "Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal."

’She might be the Mermaid Princess, but I’m the Duke of Snow Country.’

’Accepting her previous challenge was already more than polite of me.’

’If she goes too far, there’s no need for me to be a pushover and embarrass Lu Tingyan.’

’It’s not like I don’t have powerful backing myself.’

The Mermaid Princess sat at the counter and tapped impatiently on the surface. "Well? Where is she?"

Diners all around couldn’t help but be captivated by her ethereal beauty, discreetly keeping an eye on the situation.

After all, who doesn’t enjoy looking at a beautiful woman?

A nearby server hurried over. "Hello, how may I help you?"

Rosa Meiya stared at the server in disbelief. "You, a female, are waiting tables in a restaurant? You bring shame to all females!"

The smile on the server’s face froze.

Yan Qingya stepped forward at the right moment, dismissing the server and approaching the princess herself. "Is there something I can help you with?"

Rosa Meiya sized up her refined, expensive-looking clothes and guessed she was no ordinary person. Her arrogant expression softened slightly. "I’m here to see your boss."

Yan Qingya smiled slightly. "I am the boss."

Rosa Meiya frowned, displeased. "I’m looking for your boss, Bai Su. Not you."

’She really disliked Yan Qingya’s fake smile.’

Females are especially sensitive to hostility from one another.

She asked, somewhat annoyed, "Who are you? And why aren’t you bowing to this princess?"

Yan Qingya took a deep breath. ’With her old fiery temper, she would have already rolled up her sleeves and started a fight.’

’But after managing the restaurant for so many days, her temper had been worn down considerably.’

Yan Qingya put on a professional-looking fake smile. "My apologies, but this is Snow Country. According to international convention, when you Sea Clan People are on Snow Country soil, you are expected to abide by our nation’s laws."

"As you are aware, Snow Country has advanced by leaps and bounds under the leadership of our Leader. Those kinds of feudalistic, ritualistic systems were abolished long ago."

"After all, none of us are feudal relics or savages from some remote mountain, are we?"

Rosa Meiya’s expression instantly darkened. "Are you insinuating my country is full of mountain savages?"

Yan Qingya looked at her in mock surprise. "Of course not! Why would you ever think that? The whole world knows you’re fish, not savages."

Furious, Rosa Meiya slammed her hand on the table. "State your name! You insolent commoner!"

Yan Qingya proudly puffed out her chest. "Yan Qingya, daughter of the leader of the Lion Beastman branch. You’re welcome to visit our tribe anytime."
