Arc 5 Chapter 3 Part 1
Inside the cave.
The Snow-Toothed Beast curled into a ball. The fur on its body was dried by the fire burning in the cave and it became fluffy, like a snow-white woolen ball. Shen Jiayan slept in the middle, with his head resting on the belly of the Snow-Toothed Beast. In contrast with his palm-sized face, his eyes were dark and pure.
One person and one beast, they seemingly had an inconceivable harmony.
By the campfire, Mo slowly roasted the Long-Haired Mouse in his hand. From time to time, he would squeeze a bit of juice from a little green fruit on the mouse. The sweet and sour fragrance of roasted meat filled the entire cave.
Shen Jiayan pursed his lips and stared fixedly at the roasted meat in Mo’s hand.
Mo had sensed Shen Jiayan’s burning gaze long ago. But it happened that every time Mo turned his head, Shen Jiayan would also immediately bury his face into the fur of the Snow-Toothed Beast, making him think that he concealed it well.
Mo also pretended not to know about it and continued roasting the meat in his hands, like he was just minding his own business. He used a knife to cut through the flesh of the meat, turned it over, and squeezed the juice of the green fruit…… The actions were smooth, but the fragrance of the meat only became stronger.
Shen Jiayan couldn’t help but poke his head out again, he coincidentally met Mo’s smiling eyes, “Hungry?”
Shen Jiayan honestly nodded.
Mo handed over one of the two roasted mice in his hand. The roasted meat was brown, the skin was crispy and oozed a bit of oil. Just looking at it would make people salivate. Mo raised his hand, “Here you go.”
Shen Jiayan hesitantly took it. He carefully looked at Mo, then he lowered his head to look at the roasted mouse in his hand before he heartlessly took a bite.
Immediately, his mouth was filled with flavor!
The meat of the Long-Haired Mouse was originally tender and melts right into people’s mouths. On top of that, the firmness of the Long-Haired Mouse’s meat was so delicious that it was enough to make people swallow their tongues. The green fruit’s juice had permeated into the meat. The first aftertaste was sour but after the sourness, a faint sweetness could be tasted from the root of one’s tongue as the second aftertaste. It could be said that it left a rich aftertaste.
Shen Jiayan’s eyes suddenly brightened up. He gave him a thumbs up to vaguely praise him, but his mouth continued to chew on the Long-Haired Mouse without slowing down.
“The meat of the Long-Haired Mouse is characterized by its tenderness. It tastes better when paired with this Weiran Fruit.” Saying these, Mo changed the topic of discussion, “However, there is another kind of strange Beast that will taste even better with this fruit. Because its meat is a little firmer, it tastes a little more flavorful to chew on. If you air-dry it, squeeze a little bit of the Weiran fruit’s juice, then slowly roast it, it could really be said to have an overflowing fragrance.
As he expected, Shen Jiayan took the bait as soon as he heard it. He stretched out his pink tongue and linked his lower lip. He curiously asked, “What kind of strange Beast?”
Mo looked at the Snow-Toothed Beast curled up in the corner and his lips slowly curved, “There, that’s it. Don’t you want to try it? I can roast it for you to eat.”
Hearing what he said, Shen Jiayan’s eyes slightly widened, then he accelerated his chewing to swallow the last bite of the mouse meat in his mouth. He firmly refused, “Don’t wanna.”
Generally speaking, a person can tolerate the feeling of hunger when the person does not eat anything at all. Once a person opens their mouth to eat, the hunger that they felt would become more unbearable
Mo really did not expect that An Xin could still say “no” to him, even in this kind of situation.
Immediately, Mo grabbed the roasted mouse in Shen Jiayan’s hand at lightning speed, then he sneered, “So apparently, you’re still not hungry. Since you are not hungry, then you should not eat my roasted Mouse……”
Mo had not even finished talking yet when he was shocked to find that the roasted mouse he snatched back, only had its skeleton remaining intact. And the meat was gnawed cleanly, without a scrap of meat remaining.
Shen Jiayan blinked his eyes without feeling any guilt, then slipped back to the middle of the Snow-Toothed Beast, pulling the tail of the Snow-Toothed Beast to cover his face and only revealing a pair of round eyes.
At this time, Mo was unable to steal the Snow-Toothed Beast. On the contrary, his Long-Haired Mouse was eaten.
Mo suddenly became silent. He returned to the campfire and nibbled on the Long-Haired Mouse in his hand.
The Long-Haired Mouse was cleanly eaten by Mo, but he did not feel the slightest bit satiated. On the contrary, he felt hungrier and hungrier after eating a bit, like he had previously imagined.
Just as Mo was thinking about what to catch again, Shen Jiyan had already cautiously and solemnly gathered the bones of the two Long-Haired Mice on the ground, placing them in front of the Snow-Toothed Beast. “Food for you.”
The Snow-Toothed Beast licked Shen Jiayan’s palm before it lowered its head to completely gnaw on the pile of bones.
Mo looked at the scene in front of him without batting an eyelid. He inwardly thought, “Hm, it turns out that he not only raised this person in front of him, but raised his strange Beast together as well, isn’t it?”
“Since you have fed this Snow-Toothed Beast, you are its master. Then since I fed you as well, shouldn’t you call me Master?” Mo casted a sidelong glance at Shen Jiayan and opened his mouth to ask.
