I Have a Pocket Dimension to Raise Beastmen Husbands, and the Fierce Female Became a Group Favorite chapter 34

Chapter 34: Intentions

Su Muyao’s expression remained calm. “Alright, if he doesn’t want to eat, then he doesn’t have to!”

She couldn’t very well force someone to eat if they didn’t want to.

Besides, wheat was scarce right now. They had only ground a limited amount of flour, so one less person eating meant they could save a little more.

Hua Linye didn’t want to see Su Muyao looking upset, so he spoke up. “Don’t be sad, Wife Master. If he won’t eat it, I will. We can’t let your kind intentions go to waste.”

Although he didn’t know what these shuijiao (dumplings) tasted like, he couldn’t bear to waste food made by his Wife Master’s own hands.

Even if they tasted terrible, he would eat every last one.

Wen Nanxi gently stroked Su Muyao’s hair. “It’s okay. You still have us.”

Su Muyao explained, “I’m not sad. If we can’t finish them, I can pan-fry them in oil tomorrow morning. They’ll smell even better then.”

She had wrapped enough dumplings based on everyone’s appetite.

Since there was an extra plate now, it would be perfect for frying the next morning.

To Su Muyao, as long as Mei Qingchen didn’t attack her, he could do whatever he pleased.

It was actually better if he didn’t eat her food; it saved her the trouble.

Su Muyao hadn’t moved her chopsticks yet, so no one else moved theirs either.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she said, “Everyone, eat while it’s hot. It won’t taste as good if it gets cold.”

Saying this, she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

She nodded inwardly; the flavor was just right, and the salt level was perfect.

Only after seeing her eat did the others pick up their chopsticks.

The moment they tasted the dumplings, they finally understood just how delicious they were.

A look of astonishment filled Hua Linye’s foxy eyes. “This is too delicious!”

“I have never eaten such wonderful food.”

“Wife Master, you are amazing to be able to make such a delicacy.”

Hearing Hua Linye’s praise, a smile spread across Su Muyao’s face. “I’m glad you like it.”

As she spoke, she looked at Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan.

The expression on Xiao Jihan’s face shifted as well, and he didn’t hold back his praise. “It is indeed delicious. Even the Imperial Chefs in the Beast Imperial City couldn’t make food like this.”

The key was that no one else had discovered wheat as a food source.

Wen Nanxi’s eyes also shimmered with a gentle light. He looked at Su Muyao with a smile in his eyes and said softly, “It’s very delicious. It’s just been hard on you, Wife Master.”

Su Muyao felt a sense of accomplishment seeing her food being appreciated.

“Actually, the most important thing is the flour. You can make many delicacies with flour.”

“Not just dumplings, but also noodles, steamed buns, wontons, and meat pies. I’ll make them all for you one by one later.”

She planned to plant more wheat in her dimension’s fields so they would continue to have flour.

Of course, she could also clear a plot of land near the tribe to grow some wheat.

However, the crops in her dimension grew faster and could be harvested much sooner.

As she spoke, Su Muyao ate her dumplings one by one, her cheeks puffing out like a little hamster.

Watching her, Wen Nanxi thought she looked incredibly cute.

“If you need to make anything in the future, tell me. I’ll do it with you.”

Making meals for so many people all by herself was hard work.

These were chores they should be doing.

“Okay, I understand.”

Hua Linye couldn’t be bothered to say anything else; he was completely focused on devouring the dumplings on his plate.

They were truly too delicious.

Xiao Jihan ate methodically. occasionally glancing at Su Muyao, his gaze growing deeper and more profound.

He was finding it harder and harder to read her.

Wen Nanxi ate with his usual elegance, looking at Su Muyao from time to time.

Seeing the peaceful smile on her face, his expression softened even more.

…

In the courtyard, Mei Qingchen was diligently repairing the wall with stones.

He would take responsibility for fixing the wall damaged during the fight.

But trusting Su Muyao? That, he could not do.

He possessed an ability that gave him exceptional hearing, so he naturally heard what Hua Linye and the others were saying in the cookhouse.

He gave a cold, charming sneer, the corners of his mouth lifting in mockery.

Did they have to lie just to curry favor with such a vicious Wife Master?

Su Muyao was a famous good-for-nothing in the Beast Imperial City. She couldn’t even recognize vegetables, let alone cook.

Did they think he didn’t know that Wen Nanxi had helped her make dinner?

He even suspected those words were spoken deliberately for him to hear.

He wouldn’t believe it, and he certainly wouldn’t eat it.

…

Hua Linye and the others ate very well and were completely full.

After finishing his meal, Hua Linye looked at Su Muyao. The corners of his foxy eyes twitched, his gaze half-intoxicated and seemingly capable of stealing one’s soul.

Su Muyao couldn’t ignore his burning stare. She asked, “Are you still hungry?”

“If you haven’t had enough, there’s another plate here.”

Hua Linye shook his head. “I’m very full.”

“I just think Wife Master is wonderful.”

Su Muyao’s mouth twitched slightly. “You just want to say the dumplings I made are delicious, right?”

Hua Linye’s eyes rippled like water. “Wife Master is also wonderful.”

He sighed softly. “Ah, if I get used to eating the food Wife Master makes, what will I do if I don’t want to leave later?”

Su Muyao thought about it seriously. “How about you stop eating my cooking for now, like Mei Qingchen?”

“That way, in three months, you won’t have to struggle with that decision.”

Hua Linye had only been joking, but he hadn’t expected Su Muyao to take it seriously.

He deliberately put on a sorrowful expression. “Wife Master is truly cruel.”

“I can’t bear to give up the food Wife Master makes.”

As for whether he would want to leave when the time came, even he wasn’t sure of his own heart right now.

Wen Nanxi, seeing that everyone had finished eating, stood up to silently clear the table. Hearing Hua Linye’s words, he cast a cool glance at him with his picturesque eyes.

Hua Linye received Wen Nanxi’s warning.

Honestly, was he not allowed to make a verbal joke?

It was half-truth, half-lie; even he couldn’t distinguish his own feelings clearly.

Why did Wen Nanxi have to be so serious?

Regardless, he wouldn’t hurt the Wife Master.

After helping clean up, Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan went into the courtyard to help finish stacking the wall.

Seeming to remember something, Xiao Jihan said, “Mei Qingchen, according to the rules, tomorrow is your turn to guard Wife Master!”

Mei Qingchen curved his lips into a cold, charming smile, his eyes seeming to condense a layer of frost. “That is a rule you all set. I will not follow that rule, nor will I guard her.”

“From the moment she threw my natal sword into Death Valley, I said I would no longer risk my life to protect her.”

“So, whatever you all want to do is up to you, but don’t drag me into it.”

Pausing for a moment, Mei Qingchen’s smile turned more dark and dazzling. “Aren’t you afraid that if I guard her, instead of protecting her, I might find it convenient to get rid of her?”

Xiao Jihan’s brow was cool, his gaze peaceful. “Mei Qingchen, you are a man of your word.”

“You said you wouldn’t touch Wife Master, so you won’t touch her.”

Mei Qingchen turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to admit this point.

But indeed, he always did what he said he would do.

“But I never said I would protect her.”

Hua Linye smiled lazily. “That works out perfectly. I’ll guard Wife Master.”

“I don’t mind guarding her every day.”

Mei Qingchen looked at Hua Linye with suspicion. “Hua Linye, this really isn’t like you!”

“Have you forgotten so quickly how the Wife Master used to insult your father?”

Everyone knew that the death of Hua Linye’s father when he was young was a huge blow to him, and it remained a knot in his heart.

Any normal person knew this taboo and wouldn’t actively bring up his father.

But Su Muyao was truly no normal person; she used to insult Hua Linye’s father frequently.
