Beastman Forcefully Raising a Wife

Chapter 10: Spiritual Snake Feared Fire

The meat had a dense, smokey flavour, as if the black smoke above the fire had been absorbed by the meat. The meat was also tough and firm, and had no seasoning at all. Shu Jintian was afraid of the meat not being cooked thoroughly and so, purposely roasted it a while longer, leading to certain areas becoming scorched.

Shu Jintian did his best to chew it but couldn’t chew through the meat that was tough as wood chips. Hence, he chose to directly swallow it whole instead.

“Hanyu, do you want to come and have some? You have never eaten roasted meat I presume. Try it ba!”

Shu Jintian took up the other piece of meat that had been roasted even blacker and smiled evilly. However, he suddenly discovered that not only wasn’t the big snake not wrapped around him, he was even far, far away.

So the big snake turned out to be scared of fire!

Shu Hanyu tilted his head and hesitantly looked at the meat being offered. With a swaying body, he slowly approached the female. Then, he extended his forked tongue and touched the piece tentatively, and instantly withdrew his tongue as if he had been electrocuted.

Shu Jintian smiled and put the meat Shu Hanyu licked at the side, then took another piece of meat to eat.

“You’re afraid of getting scalded, right? I’ll put it here for it to cool a little, then you can eat it after a while.”

Shu Hanyu nodded and uneasily twisted his body. Being too close to the fire made his skin feel a little dry.

Shu Hanyu directly turned into a human, and became a lot more at ease. He encircled the female from behind, obstructing the open fire’s drying heat with the other’s body. Shu Hanyu extended a hand to poke at the meat the female had placed at the side. Feeling that it could be held, he summoned his courage to knead it in his hand.

Warm, like the female’s body temperature. Shu Hanyu expressionlessly placed the meat in his mouth.

Shu Jintian stopped eating and turned back to watch Shu Hanyu eat with a smile spreading across his face. Such an unpalatable thing. Being able to share it with the big snake was too fortunate, don’t you think so?!

Shu Hanyu shoved the entire piece in his mouth and with puffed up cheeks, chewed, then expressionlessly swallowed it.

Shu Jintian’s cheerful expression froze. …Just like that? He really didn’t give him any sense of achievement.

“If you like it, then eat more ba.”

Shu Jintian took out even more meat and put it beside Shu Hanyu, but Shu Hanyu shook his head in refusal.

“You eat!”

He only had to confirm whether the thing the female ate was edible. However, he found his preference to be really strange. He won’t eat perfectly good food as it was and must turn it into something like this to eat.

Shu Jintian mechanically finished the rest of the meat. In any case, at least he filled his stomach. After that, he was reluctant to put out the open fire. He only had just that one lighter and it couldn’t last for long. He should conserve where he can.

He used green branches and leaves to cover the fire in order to avoid causing a forest fire. Then, he scattered a layer of soil atop and left several holes on top to ventilate it.

The two of them drank water by the riverside and cleaned up. Later, Shu Jintian indolently lay on the turf by the river, gazing up at the starry sky.

The blue and psychedelic starry sky was filled with endlessly twinkling stars. The peaceful night sky was large and bright, coated with a layer of faint blue light.
