Chapter 16 The Aggrieved Three-Eyed Golden Lion
Dinner was sumptuous, with six dishes, but in Yunze's eyes, these so-called dishes were actually just frozen meat, or simply raw meat torn off pieces.
Hmm, thankfully he's still young and doesn't need to eat anything else for now.
Otherwise, making him eat raw meat...
Yunze suddenly felt that his current status as a child wasn't so bad after all.
This meal was naturally prepared specifically for the two guests, Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. As a spirit of heaven and earth, the Snow Empress only needed to cultivate to replenish her energy, or refine some ice-attribute natural treasures.
Yunze and the little ice fox, being still breastfeeding, naturally didn't need any other food.
Although the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox could eat both meat and vegetables, perhaps influenced by the Snow Empress and the little guy, she now obtained energy through cultivation all day long. However, being a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she also didn't need to eat.
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox didn't know whether Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would eat, but after all, they were guests; what if they wanted to eat? So
she simply prepared herself. As expected,
the final outcome was similar to her prediction. Di Tian didn't lift a finger; with his cultivation and experience, he naturally didn't need to be polite to the people before him. He sat beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion the entire time, barely uttering a word.
The Snow Empress was the same, sitting there like an ice sculpture, her gaze occasionally falling on Yun Ze, then blankly staring into space.
The Ice Empress, meanwhile, stared intently at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opposite her, her pink cheeks puffed out like a wronged child.
Yun Ze and the little ice fox were held in the arms of the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, one on each side, happily eating.
Only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up at the food on the ice table, grabbing some and chewing. The crisp meat and rich, oily aroma exploded in its mouth, causing its eyes to narrow in enjoyment.
Of course, this food had only undergone basic processing; soul beasts were, after all, soul beasts, and couldn't possibly possess the sophisticated cooking skills of humans.
However, for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, good ingredients meant deliciousness.
Although the food before them all came from the far north, it wasn't hunted specifically by the Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
While the far north was slightly more peaceful in terms of relationships between spirit beasts than the Star Dou Great Forest, inter-species conflicts still occurred from time to time. The Snow Empress and the others naturally encouraged such behavior; as long as it didn't lead to the extinction of a clan, minor skirmishes and the occasional death of a few spirit beasts were harmless.
The various types of meat on the ice table actually came from only two types of spirit beasts.
After all, spirit beasts were generally quite large, and different parts of their meat had different textures and flavors. Two spirit beasts should be enough for a dinner.
The dinner ended in a somewhat quiet atmosphere. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was truly full, contentedly rubbing its little belly as it moved closer to the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, looking curiously at Yun Ze eating in its arms.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face flushed slightly.
Ice Empress glared coldly at him and walked to the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's side. "Give him to me."
"Ah, but it seems His Highness hasn't eaten enough yet~" The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox looked at Yunze in her arms with some difficulty.
"Alright, we can't let little Ze suffer." Although she couldn't hold Yunze immediately, Ice Empress only felt a little regretful. She wasn't the kind of bad woman who would reduce Yunze's food intake just to hold him more.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion originally wanted to tell the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox to give him the little guy, but upon hearing Ice Empress's words, it decisively chose to shut up.
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, both of them doted on His Highness and wanted to maintain the best impression in front of him. Otherwise, given her status, she couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Of course, she didn't want to enjoy spending more time with Yunze. She treated Yunze more like her own child, so she just wanted Yunze to eat better and sleep better.
Ice Emperor and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't leave either, just stood there watching longingly.
After Yunze had eaten and drunk his fill and let out a satisfied little burp, he beckoned to the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, who quickly lowered her pretty face. Yunze leaned out and kissed the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox on the cheek.
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox immediately smiled, looking at the little guy with doting eyes.
"Auntie, I'm going to play with Sister Bing'er and everyone else. Put me down now," Yunze called out. The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox nodded gently and placed him on the outstretched hands of the Ice Emperor. Seeing
this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes immediately revealed a hint of resentment.
The sharp-eyed Yunze naturally noticed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's expression and waved to it, "Everyone, Sister Bing'er is the patriarch of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. She's always very busy. It's not easy for her to see me. I'll stay with her for a while."
"Oh,"
Hearing Yunze's words, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lowered its head slightly, trying its best not to appear so disappointed.
But why do I feel so wronged?
I want to stay with the little guy forever!
Just then, Yunze's voice rang out again, "So, I've decided not to sleep with Sister Xue'er tonight. Everyone, can you stay with me tonight?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised its head, its eyes lighting up, "Can, is that okay?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Well, okay then, but you can't stay with her for too long. I'll be bored without you~"
Watching Bingdi carry Yunze away, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still a little disappointed, but when it thought of what Yunze had said to it, it quickly forgot about that disappointment.
After playing with Bingdi and the little ice fox for two or three hours, Yunze was carried back to his room by Bingdi.
Xuedi was sitting on the ice bed, her beautiful eyes looking at Yunze with a gentle expression.
She pointed to the ground next to her, where a thick animal carpet was laid out, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was lying on it, looking at her expectantly.
After glancing at Xue Di, who nodded slightly, Bing Di placed Yun Ze beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then sat down on the edge of Xue Di's bed, holding the little ice fox.
"Aren't you going to the guest room?" Xue Di asked Bing Di.
"Xue'er, it's been so long since you brought Xiao Ze back to raise him after he was born~" Bing Di murmured, her eyes glazed over. Xue Di looked
at Xue Di with a hint of helplessness. "There haven't been many times to begin with, and every time it's you who insists... Xiao Ze is still here, how can the two of us..."
Yun Ze's eyes widened.
Holy crap!
He hadn't expected the aloof and noble Xue'er and the proud and adorable Bing'er to actually
... Wait a minute...
What if they're together?
Thinking this, Yun Ze panicked!
"Ugh, little guy, don't move around~ Ah, no!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had just been holding Yun Ze and was about to go to sleep, suddenly felt a movement in its arms.
The three-eyed golden lion's pretty face immediately turned red.
Little rascal, you're naughty!
