Chapter 21 I Want You to Stay

Wen Li was silent for a moment before looking at him, "Then...?"

Zhu Yan said, "I understand, I won't tell him."

The most urgent task is to help Xin Yuan break the curse of the stray beasts.

Wen Li breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard him agree.

However, Zhu Yan added, "But you have to promise me you'll come back with me later."

Ultimately, Zhu Yan still didn't trust Wen Li. He needed to keep Wen Li under his watchful eye to feel a little more at ease.

If Wen Li continues to stay with Xin Yuan, who knows, she might try the same old tricks again?
Zhu Yan's trust in Wen Li has been destroyed by her own hands, and it won't be easy to rebuild it.

Wen Li could easily guess what Zhu Yan was thinking at this moment. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "I understand."

Fearing that Zhu Yan might change his mind, Wen Li dared not refuse him directly.

After discussing it, the two returned to Xin Yuan's location one after the other.

"Is the negotiation over?" Xin Yuan asked.

He could clearly sense that the atmosphere between Wen Li and Zhu Yan had cooled down from its initial tense state.

It seems the two have reached a reconciliation.

Zhu Yan hummed in agreement, and then her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

The scene became quite awkward. Zhu Yan, expressionless, lifted her foot and left, saying, "I'm leaving."

Zhu Yan hadn't eaten yet, and upon learning that Wen Li was with Xin Yuan, he rushed over.

He had been searching for Wen Li all day and was starving. The aroma of roast chicken wafted into his nostrils, making it hard for his stomach not to rumble.

Xin Yuan called out to Zhu Yan, "Brother Zhu Yan, why don't you stay and eat with us?"

Zhu Yan wanted to refuse, but when her gaze inadvertently swept over the roast chicken and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the words stuck in her throat.

The rich aroma emanating from both wafted directly into Zhu Yan's nostrils, causing him to salivate incessantly.

It looks delicious.

However, these were food for Wen Li and Xin Yuan, and Zhu Yan shook her head, refusing, "No need."

Wen Li also spoke up, "Let's eat together."

She had finally managed to improve her relationship with Zhu Yan, and now was the perfect opportunity to win him over; she had to do something to show her appreciation.

Zhu Yan looked over in surprise when he heard her speak.

Wen Li avoided his gaze and lowered her head to re-distribute the roast chicken, saying, "Try my cooking."

Xin Yuan chimed in, "Brother Zhu Yan, you should try it. Wen Li's cooking is delicious."

Xin Yuan, intending to speak up for Wen Li, picked out a roasted chicken leg and handed it to Zhu Yan, "Want to try some?"

A fragrant roasted chicken leg was placed in front of Zhu Yan, with a crispy, golden-brown skin and tender, plump meat inside.

Zhu Yan had been busy all day and hadn't eaten much at noon. The tempting aroma of the chicken leg in front of him was irresistible.

Zhu Yan finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food and accepted the chicken leg that Xin Yuan handed over.

He took a bite, and his pupils dilated in shock.

Zhu Yan is usually a ruthless person who eats raw meat directly, adhering to the principle of just being full and never caring about the taste.

This was the first time he had ever eaten such delicious meat; it was worlds apart from the stuff he had eaten before.

When did Wen Li's cooking skills become so good?
No, it should be "when did Wen Li learn to cook!"
The females do not need to go into the kitchen; one of the male animals will be responsible for the family's three meals a day.

As the wife, all I have to do is wait for them to finish cooking before I eat.

As the wife, Zhu Yan never wronged Wen Li in this respect.

He usually cooked it and brought it to her to eat. Although the taste was just average, it was still edible.

This was the first time Zhu Yan had eaten a dish made by Wen Li.

"Is it delicious?" Xin Yuan asked.

Zhu Yan chewed a few times, swallowed quickly, and praised, "Not bad."

Xin Yuan also picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, and his eyes instantly brightened.

God knows how long he had been holding back. He had been waiting here the whole time the two of them were talking, resisting the urge to eat.

The salty-sweet taste upon first bite amazed him, someone who hadn't tasted many seasonings. Xin Yuan looked at Wen Li, his eyes filled with even more astonishment: "Wen Li, you're amazing." Wen Li smiled and said, "I'll try some too."

She also took out one of the chicken legs and put it in her mouth.

It tasted almost exactly as she had imagined, or even better, though she didn't know if it was due to the natural ingredients or the seasonings.

Having tasted the delicious food, the three of them forgot about talking and quickly began to eat.

"Try this again."

Seeing that Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan were so engrossed in eating the roast chicken that they forgot about the scrambled eggs with tomatoes she had made, Wen Li reminded them.

Xin Yuan belatedly realized that the roast chicken was so delicious that he had almost forgotten about it.

Xin Yuan took a bite as soon as it was made, and the sour and salty taste was really addictive.

Remembering that Zhu Yan hadn't tried it yet, Xin Yuan gestured for him to have a taste as well.

"Brother, try this. It's made by Wen Li with hawthorn berries. It's delicious."

"Red fruit?"

Zhu Yan was somewhat skeptical of Xin Yuan's words: "Can things made with red fruit taste good?"

There were a bunch of those things growing by the roadside, but he didn't even bother to look at them.

The main problem is that it tastes too sour, and the beastmen don't like the taste.

On a whim, Zhu Yan took a bite.

The sour and salty flavor spreads between the lips and teeth, which is refreshing and very appetizing.

Zhu Yan glanced at Wen Li in surprise, never realizing before that she was such a good cook.

It was all swept away in a whirlwind.

Apart from Wen Li, Xin Yuan and Zhu Yan didn't eat much.

The meal was originally prepared for Wen Li and Xin Yuan, but with Zhu Yan added, there wasn't enough to go around.

Zhu Yan ate a free meal here, and afterwards, she offered to help Xin Yuan clean up.

After cleaning everything up, it was already quite late.

Zhu Yan looked at Wen Li and said calmly, "Let's go."

As agreed upon by the two not long ago, Zhu Yan and Wen Li went back together.

Zhu Yan was worried that she would take advantage of his absence to harm Xin Yuan.

Wen Li patted her bottom, got up and followed Zhu Yan, "I understand."

Wen Li sighed; plans really do never keep up with changes.

She thought the curse would allow her to stay by Xin Yuan's side for seven days to increase her favorability.

Little did they know that Zhu Yan would come knocking on their door so quickly.

With Zhu Yan interfering, it's probably going to be tough for her to get close to Xin Yuan.

We can only see each other during bloodletting each day?

Xin Yuan noticed the two were about to leave and called out to Wen Li, "Wen Li, where are you going?"

Wen Li paused, turned to look at Xin Yuan, and explained, "I went back with Zhu Yan."

“Go back? What about the curse?” Xin Yuan asked.

Wen Li said, "I will come over tomorrow at the scheduled time to give you bloodletting."

At this very moment, Xin Yuan's mind was working very quickly.

Wen Li is gone, so he won't be able to eat her cooking tomorrow!

He had finally managed to eat such delicious food, and now Xin Yuan was being asked to eat all of his old stuff again... Just thinking about it made Xin Yuan feel a surge of resistance.

He strode forward and grabbed Wen Li, "Can't you stay here any longer?"

Wen Li was taken aback.

Zhu Yan looked over when she heard this.
