Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Home Was Stolen

*

「The next day.」

Bai Su had a full night’s sleep. She pulled open the bed curtains and took a breath of fresh air.

She had made her plans last night. Her main task now was to take care of herself and the little cubs.

This body of hers was too fat, and it was infertile.

This was what she found strangest.

In the original owner’s memories, she had been fertile.

But after arriving here, her fertility had suddenly vanished.

The original owner stayed here, surrounded by a few children, and so she ended up opening a mountaintop orphanage...

There seemed to be a few months of memory missing in the middle of it all.

She would never believe there wasn’t something fishy going on.

The system told her that her Healing Ability could cure her infertility, but it would take a certain amount of time.

Coincidentally, the little wolf cub needed food to recover his health as well.

So, she decided to go down the mountain first thing in the morning to buy fresh food.

In the Interstellar Beast World, fresh, unprocessed food was very cheap.

In contrast, various types of canned food and nutritional supplements were more expensive.

The price difference was like that between a rough gemstone and a finished piece of jewelry.

This worked out perfectly for her.

The original owner had little money, only receiving a 3,000-credit subsidy from the Federation each month to get by.

This was also the reason the original owner had sold off several children before.

What Bai Su didn’t expect was that no sooner had she left the mountaintop orphanage to buy supplies in the city, than trouble came knocking.

A rowdy group of people came up another mountain path, just missing Bai Su.

With a loud BANG, the gate to the mountaintop orphanage was kicked open.

Several ferocious-looking Beastmen stormed in, clubs in hand. "Bai Su! Get your damn ass out here!"

The Beastmen all appeared to be of an ape or monkey type. They were nearly two meters tall, their bodies rippling with muscle. The hair on their heads stood on end, and their arms were covered in fine, dense fur.

One of the Beastmen swung his club lightly, and with a casual smash, he cracked the stone dining table nearby.

Hearing the commotion, the little wolf cub calmly ran downstairs, his eyes exceptionally cool. "Who are you looking for?"

"Who’re we looking for?" The lead Beastman sneered, grabbing him by the collar. "Get that bitch Bai Su out here! She still owes me gambling money. Where does she think she can run?"

The little wolf cub frowned. "She left first thing this morning. If you want to find her, come back later."

To the Beastmen, his composed and calm expression was undoubtedly a provocation.

The Beastman immediately hoisted him high and slammed him onto the ground like a sandbag.

The little wolf cub let out a muffled grunt. He felt as if his insides had been smashed to a pulp, and the suffocating pain made his vision go black.

The lead Beastman swept a hostile gaze over the surroundings. "Search the place! Take anything valuable, and smash what’s not! Let that bitch know who she’s messing with!"

Hearing this, the other Beastmen grew even more excited. "Alright!"

Like bandits, they kicked aside the little wolf cub who was curled up in a ball and began to ransack the orphanage.

Upstairs, a few of the little ones wanted to rush down, but a single look from the little wolf cub stopped them.

But they were just children, after all. Their thinking was too simple.

After they finished looting and smashing the first floor, the vicious Beastmen quickly went up to the second.

The little tiger cub and the two little cat cubs didn’t escape. They were dragged downstairs, dangling by the collars of their shirts.

The little wolf cub’s face was deathly pale as he staggered and struggled to stand up.
