Reborn into A Slash Game Chapter 21 - Give Me Food!

Chapter 21 - Give Me Food!

The interspatial bag had a lot of s.p.a.ce. Suo Fei had already sorted the things inside into different categories and arranged them properly.

He originally intended to put the beast core of the Frostflame Beast into a case, but because he was rus.h.i.+ng, he conveniently threw it towards the meat of the Frostflame Beast. He didn’t have time to properly store it and only remembered it now. When he took it out, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry from what he saw.

The beast core was enclosed by the beast meat. The blue and red colours of the beast core had stopped circulating. It became fixed like a yin-yang symbol, fiery red on one side and ice blue on the other.

Half of the beast meat that was in contact with the ice blue side was covered with a layer of frost, emitting cold air. The other half that touched the fiery red side was the exact opposite. It had been roasted for a long time so it was now well done, sweetly drizzling in oil and releasing an enticing smell.

The Frostflame Beast meat was known for its deliciousness. It had been roasting for a good while so the aroma was overflowing. Suo Fei’s mouth watered at the smell even though he was already full after eating dinner. Suo Fei tore a piece of the roasted meat’s crispy skin. It was surprisingly not hot but was nice and warm instead.

He ate it in one bite and suddenly pictured the little cub whining. It was so delicious that his tongue felt like melting.

He couldn’t refrain himself from tearing off another large piece. When he brought it out, the drowsy little cub who had been dozing off was stirred up by the smell and jumped up. Its fluffy little head was still covered with a quilt and its eyes were a little confused but its nose was already sniffing like a piglet.

Suo Fei sneered at the chowhound. He took this opportunity to touch it a few times before tearing off a small piece of the roasted meat and stuffing it into the cub’s mouth. Then, the little cub suddenly howled loudly. Suo Fei was frightened and hurriedly covered its mouth. It was already in the middle of the night. Did it want to frighten someone to death?

The little cub whose mouth was covered was still seething, letting out loud roars.

Although Suo Fei didn’t understand beast language, he knew that this thing still wanted to eat. Even if the little cub thought that the roasted meat was not delicious, the aroma was still extremely tantalizing. Hence, it was inevitable for this purebred chowhound to be awfully gluttonous. Therefore, he had to tear off another piece for the little cub. Its manner of eating was simply like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit.

Suo Fei then recalled that the little cub had eaten almost the entire Frostflame Beast. With its stomach capacity, it would be too costly for it to eat until it was completely satisfied so he decided to ignore it.

The little cub had lived for nearly a thousand years. All these years, it had been eating raw meat and had never eaten such delicious meat. The meat’s taste awoke its ravenous appet.i.te. It felt that everything it had eaten before was nothing compared to the roast meat. However, Suo Fei had resolved himself not to give the little cub any more food. It anxiously walked round and round until it finally was unable to endure. It roared at Suo Fei.

If Samael or anyone who could understand beast language were here, it would be impossible for Suo Fei to miss the golden opportunity that the cub offered. The translation of what the little cub said was: Give me food! Give me food! If you do, I will take you to Salvag’s treasury!

Unfortunately, Suo Fei could not understand what the little cub had impulsively said. Just as the little cub finished saying those words, it immediately calmed down. Cold sweat flowed through its fur as it scolded itself for being so foolish.

Fortunately, Suo Fei did not understand the beast language. The little cub heaved a sigh of relief. It then recalled the roasted beast meat which was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Its mouth could not help but water at the thought. It forcefully swallowed and dared not howl anymore.

Seeing the little cub behaving, Suo Fei felt soft-hearted. He thought that there was still a big heap of roasted beast meat inside the interspatial bag. If he kept it for a long time, then it wouldn’t be as warm and delicious as it was at that moment. So, he straight away tore off another palm-sized piece.

He placed it on his palm for the little cub to eat and chided it, “You kiddo, eat slowly. I won’t care anymore if you’re not able to taste it properly.” The little cub was still scared after the slip-up earlier. Hence, it was stunned when Suo Fei unexpectedly gave him another piece. It slowly climbed towards Suo Fei. It savoured its food with tears streaming down its face. It thought, ‘It’s so delicious. So delicious that I can’t help—I can’t help but want to tell him the secret. d.a.m.n servant. Stop giving me food! You’re baiting this divine beast!’

Suo Fei didn’t understand the beast language so his mind was on the beast core. From what he knew so far, it was a rare beast core that had two skills. It was even a fire-type skill and an ice-type skill which were extremely opposing of each other. At the moment, it seemed to function only as an oven and a freezer but he could discover more of its functions later on.

He happily kept the beast core enclosed by the beast meat before going to sleep.

Early next morning, Aryan warmly served breakfast. Even though the breakfast was unreasonably sumptuous, Suo Fei was somewhat preoccupied. Manzy wanted to bring him back to Valinor so he didn’t have to go after Aryan in order to go back. Although it saved him some troubles, he was uncertain about Manzy’s intentions.

Is it really because of love? Does Manzy truly regard Sofey Evans as important to reach this point?He valued Sofey so much that after such a heaven-shaking rebellion, he could still let bygones be bygones? Suo Fei thought, I’m not a little girl who loves to dream. Do you think I’d believe this? What a joke.

Manzy must be scheming something. He wasn’t sure what it was, but he planned to beat him at his own game. As long as he could meet Vixanne, he would have a way to bring her away. It was much better than now where he was running around like a headless chicken. However, he had to ensure his safety. He looked at the ultimate gong at his side, then he silently clenched his fist. He wanted to bring Samael if he could. With such a cheat character, his safety factor would be much higher.

As he was pondering, an elf who seemed to be Manzy’s attendant came. He walked to Manzy’s side and whispered something. Suo Fei was next to him so he vaguely heard a few words spoken in Elvish, seeming to hear him mentioning the Holy Tree.

Manzy abruptly put the knife and fork down. The ringing sound of them hitting the plates sounded even more jarring in the silent dining hall. He squinted his eyes before saying to Aryan, “Thank you for your hospitality these past few days. I have some urgent matters to attend to so I would not trouble you any further.”

Aryan was stunned. He didn’t understand Elvish but he realised that something must have happened for Manzy to want to hastily leave. He recalled the information he received last night and was delighted that Manzy was leaving. However, he didn’t show it on his face. He merely offered some courtesies, “Your Highness, it is this humble one’s honour for you to come to Mauer City. I hope you will excuse us if we have been a poor host.”

Manzy responded to his courtesy with a slight nod. When he turned towards Suo Fei, his indifferent silver eyes softened and he gently said, “Fey, I can’t take you to Valinor now. Stay here and wait for me. I will come pick you up within three days.”

Suo Fei blinked. He had no idea what was happening but he knew that Manzy was intolerant of his opinions. Manzy looked at Aryan once more and said, “I hope that the city lord can look after my younger brother.” Aryan promised him. Then, Manzy left in a hurry. With his reaction, a major event must have happened in Valinor.

Suo Fei narrowed his eyes, bad thoughts filling his mind. It couldn’t be that the remaining Holy Tree was cut down too, right? Holy Tree, this old thing, who in the world did it provoke? Everyone wants to hack it down…

Because of Manzy’s request, Aryan treated Samael and Suo Fei with more enthusiasm.

After having breakfast, he offered to show them around Mauer City. Suo Fei was not in the mood. He was just about to postpone it, but he saw the look that Aryan cast towards Samael and had a sudden moment of realisation.

He had a feeling that the little cinnamon bun wanted to get into the ultimate gong’s bowl with a greater determination. He thought of his promise from before and felt that he had to give them a hand. Therefore, he solemnly nodded in agreement.

Mauer City was one of the three major cities of Humans. It was needless to say that they were rich. The issue was, Aryan, being a City Lord, unexpectedly didn’t bring his entourage, not even one bodyguard.

The three went out of the city lord’s residence. Aryan was dressed in a light equestrian outfit, with his blond hair and green eyes, smiling like a naïve teenager. He kept following Samael around. His lively and sweet voice was filled with unconcealed enthusiasm.

Samael was neither hot nor cold and seemed less than enthusiastic. Suo Fei, on the contrary, looked on worriedly. Ultimate gong, you should take the initiative ah. Your family’s Adonis is almost sticking on to you. If you do not know how to be romantic, then back off and let me do it!

The three people had different things in their mind so no one was in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Aryan led the way. It didn’t take long for them to leave the city. It wasn’t safe outside Mauer City because it was close to the Knuhl Forest. From time to time, ferocious beasts would go out for a walk. Because Humans were open to diplomacy, many from other races wandered outside the city. Most of them intended to explore the Knuhl Forest.

Suo Fei frowned. Why are they going farther and farther away? Their group had a human leader, a primeval demon and a half-baked pureblood elf so no one would dare to provoke their lineup. However, their aim was to see the scenery so what could they possibly see in the wilderness?

He looked at Aryan and then looked at Samael. An idea formed in his mind.

Could it be… Could it be that….

Aryan baobei wanted to seduce the ultimate gong in a desolate area?

F*ck. Baobei, don’t look down on this kilowatt-lightbulbgrandfather!

The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that his idea was correct. He couldn’t help but tug on Samael’s sleeve. Samael turned to him and asked, “Tired?”

Suo Fei was about to reply when Samael suddenly pulled him back and he fell into Samael’s arms. He was confused about what was happening. His head hit Samael’s chest, making him dizzy. He had just looked up when a heaven-shaking roar sounded in his ear which made his ears tingle. Then, a beast that was no less than five-meters tall suddenly came out of nowhere.

Suo Fei did not recognise the ferocious beast, but looking at its bearing, its grade was definitely higher than a fifth-grade ferocious beast. Aryan was next to Suo Fei, to his left. He was extremely pale, obviously caught unaware of the situation. However, as one of the leaders of the Humans, he was able to respond to the predicament very quickly. He swiftly took out his magic staff and attacked the ferocious beast with a fire-type magic spell.

The ferocious beast was filled with pain. It turned its attention to Aryan and its gigantic claws lashed out towards Aryan.

Suo Fei’s heart did a somersault. Aryan was a fire-type mage. They have very high magic damage but their drawbacks are also obvious. Their agility is very low therefore Suo Fei wasn’t sure whether Aryan would be able to avoid the beast’s attack. However, Suo Fei was unable to even fend for himself. He simply had no energy left to save Aryan.

Fortunately, Aryan’s hundreds of years’ worth of cultivation were not just for show. He didn’t hide away but instead, formed a st.u.r.dy fire s.h.i.+eld in front of him.

With these few seconds of leeway, Aryan ran away to avoid the ma.s.sive physical attack. The huge claw smashed to the ground and a cloud of dust rose up into the air. The instant he escaped, he turned to Samael and Suo Fei and shouted, “You two, run!”
