Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 87: Chapter 81: A Bit Cute

”Don’t drink it, this is something that malicious female deliberately left here. Who knows if she secretly poisoned it?” A little tiger cub patted a cowardly wolf cub with its paw, scolding in a childish voice.

”Yeah, that malicious female has bad intentions, she must have poisoned it, trying to kill us!”

”We won’t be tempted by her!”

”If we drink it, we’ll die!”

”But... I’m so hungry, I’m almost starving...” A skinny cub said pitifully.

Anyway, it’s going to die, so even if it dies, it wanted to die full!

So it ignored the other cubs’ obstruction, plunged into the meat soup, and gulped it down, as if having the last meal of its life, trying to stuff itself to death.

The soup splashed everywhere, even wetting its head, but it still mumbled, ”Delicious, so delicious, even if I die it’s worth it!”

The other cubs were dumbfounded.

Seeing that this wolf cub almost finished half the pot of soup and wasn’t poisoned to death, they reacted and quickly crowded over to snatch the food.

In just a few minutes, the big pot of meat soup was all gone, and they still licked their lips, wanting more.

The initial tiger cub was stunned.

Could it be that the malicious female didn’t poison it?

It didn’t even get a sip of soup and could only lick the pot’s edge, feeling extremely regretful.

Shen Tang, using the system map, took in all the cubs’ amusing reactions and laughed until tears came out.

Lu Xiao came over and also saw the little cubs gathered at the door.

He turned to see Shen Tang’s beaming smile and was momentarily dazed.

In all the time he’d known Shen Tang, he’d never seen her smile so happily, making even the rundown house appear brighter.

”Did you give them that pot of food at the door?” Lu Xiao asked.

”Yeah, those little cubs are really smart. Every time I approach them, they run away before I even get close, so I simply left the food at the door for them to eat if they wanted... haha, they claim I poisoned it, but ended up eating it all.”

Saying this, Shen Tang waved at Lu Xiao with a mischievous smile, ”Help me with something tomorrow.”

Seeing her mischievous look, Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, finding her unexpectedly... cute.

By lunchtime the next day.

Shen Tang found the house too stuffy, so she had Xiao Jin specially buy a large dining table and six benches to set up an outdoor dining area in the yard.

Shen Tang and Lu Xiao worked all morning to prepare a table full of delicious dishes, with appealing color, aroma, and taste.

The enticing smell of food had already attracted cubs from miles around.

Despite their fear, they hovered at the yard’s entrance, unable to move away, their paws disobedient.

Shen Tang glanced at the door, took a bite of a crispy chicken leg, and exaggeratedly exclaimed, ”Wow, the fried chicken is so delicious, crispy on the outside and tender inside, juice flowing everywhere!”

”This beast meat stew is also very tender, the broth is milky and rich, leaving a fragrant taste, the best I’ve ever had,” commented Lu Xiao.

Xiao Jin grabbed a rib and swallowed it whole, his golden eyes sparkling; he never thought that this chubby girl’s cooking skills had improved again, making her food increasingly delicious.

He used to think about how to get rid of her every day, but now he was reluctant to leave.

The little cubs at the door watched the three of them eating so joyously, drooling profusely.

Soon, a cub couldn’t resist.

A scrawny little wolf cub quietly crossed the doorway into the yard.

Xiao Jin glanced at it and casually tossed a meat pie.

The little wolf cub’s eyes lit up, grabbing it and ran outside.

The other cubs were envious of the wolf cub receiving food.

Several cubs wiped the drool from their mouths, entering the yard, but only dared to linger near the entrance.

Lu Xiao also threw over a few ribs for them.

The cubs scrambled to snatch them.

Some of the weaker cubs couldn’t grab any food, gazing longingly at the table, torn between fear and desire.

Looking quite pitiful.

Shen Tang tossed some meat pies to them.

Seeing the food thrown by Shen Tang, they hesitated for a few seconds before rushing forward to grab the pies and run away.

Shen Tang smiled wryly.

A few days later.

The number of cubs gathering at the door increased, roughly counting, there were thirty or forty of them.

Shen Tang specifically asked Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao to take turns hunting an extra wild beast outside the city and promised to cook them new dishes in return.

The two realized that this little chubby girl wanted to feed those stray cubs but didn’t expose her. Anyway, hunting an extra wild beast was easy for them, so they readily agreed.

The cubs in the city didn’t really hate Shen Tang much, after all, they were still young, and hadn’t directly antagonized her. They only heard about her past ”great deeds” from others, instinctively resenting her.

After being fed delicious food for a few days, the cubs’ aversion to Shen Tang almost disappeared, and although they instinctively wanted to run when seeing her, they already dared to roam around the yard.

The food Shen Tang fed them was eaten clean, and at night, when curling up in piles of rags to sleep, they would smack their lips dreaming about what delicious food the malicious female might make the next day.

In four or five days, the deadline given by the City Lord approached.

Shen Li and the others still hadn’t returned.

Shen Tang was anxious.

Fortunately, on the last night, Shen Li and Jia Lan returned.

They were in the same room on the day the ship crashed, landing close to each other. After meeting, they hurried to Greenfield City.

”Why did you arrive so late?” Shen Tang walked over and asked, ”There’s some leftover lunch in the fridge, if you’re hungry you can heat it up first.”

Shen Li’s face was surprised, didn’t expect her to save them food, chuckling lightly, ”We encountered some trouble on the road, all resolved.”

As he spoke, his deep eyes lingered on Shen Tang’s face for a moment, surprised at how she seemed more beautiful after only a few days.

”You just got here, take a break, I’ll heat up the food for you.” Shen Tang hurriedly averted her gaze from the fox’s probing look, turning to Jia Lan.

This sharp-tongued mermaid was unusually quiet today, not bickering with her. Maybe it was an illusion, but Shen Tang felt his face looked pale, and he wasn’t in good condition.

”Are you injured?” Shen Tang sniffed, seeming to catch a faint scent of blood.

Did they encounter an attack on the road?

”Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Let me see?” Shen Tang approached, reaching out to check his wound.

Jia Lan’s face changed slightly, retreating two steps, ”Don’t touch me!”

Shen Tang almost forgot how much he hated her touch, awkwardly retracting her hand, pursing her lips anxiously, ”I didn’t mean anything else, just wanted to see if you’re hurt.”

Jia Lan glanced at her with a strange expression, pursing his lips and leaving with a ”I’m fine.”

Then he turned and went to the room.
