Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Great Snake Flashes to Her Home

There was no sign of anyone chasing them from behind.

Bai Su ran for a good distance while carrying Bai Xiaoshe, but she eventually couldn’t run anymore and had to put him down.

Bai Xiaoshe looked at her with a complicated expression. "Why did you save me back there?"

It took Bai Su a long moment to catch her breath. She looked at him with a hint of helplessness. "You silly boy. You’re my child. It’s a mother’s instinct to protect her young. If I don’t protect you, who will?"

Bai Xiaoshe pressed his lips together, not knowing what to say.

Bai Su took his hand and they started walking slowly toward the restaurant. "Let’s hurry back. We’ll be safe once we’re home. That giant snake probably won’t dare to follow us there."

Bai Xiaoshe said, "That snake is at least Level 9. You almost died back there."

Thankfully, that Snake Beastman was injured. Plus, with the low temperature in the mountains, he seemed to be heavily affected, and his movements were much slower.

His gaze fell on her limping leg. "What’s wrong with your foot?"

Bai Su grimaced. "I don’t know. I think I twisted it. I’ll just take a look when we get back."

It wasn’t just her foot. When she fell, she had also scraped her forearm, leaving a cut. The scent of fresh blood is extremely alluring to ferocious beasts.

Bai Xiaoshe grew even more silent.

Suddenly, a pair of small hands wrapped around Bai Su’s thigh.

She froze for a moment, then looked down at the little guy beside her. "What’s wrong?"

Bai Xiaoshe said guiltily, "I’m sorry. You got hurt because I was selfish and ran off."

Bai Su bent down and soothingly kissed the crown of his head. "Sweetie, don’t feel guilty. Protecting you is what I’m supposed to do. Since I brought you into this world, it’s my duty to cherish and protect you until you’re grown."

Bai Xiaoshe reached out his small hands to support her. "Slow down. The cold is probably affecting that snake. He should be going into hibernation soon, so we don’t have to rush."

A wave of happiness washed over Bai Su’s heart.

Those were the kindest words Bai Xiaoshe had said to her since he’d returned.

The scent of blood soon attracted Bai Xiaolang.

He didn’t even stop to ask questions. The three of them met up and rushed back to the restaurant.

The restaurant had been renovated by Lu Tingyan and equipped with a security system, which could fend off intruders to a certain extent.

Bai Su had only dislocated her ankle. This sort of thing was practically routine for her; she just forcefully popped it back into place herself and didn’t even bother with any medicinal balm.

Seeing how little she cared for her own well-being, the two little ones couldn’t help but feel their hearts ache for her.

"Mom, are you sure we don’t need to get a doctor to look at it?" Bai Xiaolang asked, still worried.

Bai Xiaoshe stood to the side, his little face also scrunched up in a frown.

Bai Su looked at the two of them, amused. "Have you forgotten I have a Healing Ability? Don’t worry."

She was already Level 4, so her Healing Ability had advanced. Not only did the food she made have healing properties, but her own injuries would also slowly mend on their own.

When the two little ones saw that the cut on her arm was much smaller than before, they finally relaxed a little.

After reassuring the two boys, Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her room.

’Today was a blessing in disguise,’ she thought. ’At least Bai Xiaoshe has started to open up to me.’

A smile touched Bai Su’s lips, but the moment she pushed open her door, it froze on her face.

The giant snake from the forest was lying brazenly on her soft little bed!

Half of his tail was even draped over the windowsill, extending outside.

Something seemed to be wrong with his body. His eyelashes were covered in frost, and his movements were extremely slow.

Li Chenlin was staring at her gloomily, his golden eyes filled with a dangerous light.

Bai Su was dumbfounded. "How did you..."

Li Chenlin let out a sneer. "Why am I here, you ask?"
