Chương 220: Chapter 218 Jealous Auspicious Beast_1

```

On the small island at the center of the lake, there was a limited area, but aside from a delicate pavilion, there was plenty of open space.

Wang Qiu'er chewed slowly on a big piece of Soul Beast Meat she held in her mouth, then watched Xiaowu unhappily. Xiaowu was setting up a barbecue at the time, and the aroma of the meat tantalized her taste buds, making her drool uncontrollably.

In The Soul Beast Realm, it was rare for soul beasts to eat cooked food.

Even though many spices and other things had been brought over from the human world to make food more delicious, as a ferocious beast, doing such things was somewhat beneath its dignity.

And since ancient times, soul beasts had always eaten in that manner: hunt their prey and then eat it directly, simple and straightforward. Even she, as an Auspicious Beast, at most would use Beast Fire to cook the meat before consuming it.

At that moment, Wang Qiu'er lay on the ground, her four beast claws digging into the soil beneath her, clearly showing her unhappiness.

After all, to learn that in this world there was another Auspicious Beast and to know that it was of the opposite and thus complementary gender.

Two complementary Auspicious Beasts could cover each other's strengths and weaknesses, achieving perfection.

But now, Xiaowu stood between the pair who ought to have each other, and naturally, Qiu'er felt unhappy.

However, she also knew that if she treated Xiaowu poorly, Xu Ran would become unhappy, and then he would treat her badly...

"Ah, it smells so good. Sister Qiu'er, would you like to try my cooking?" Xiaowu, as a woman, could naturally sense Wang Qiu'er's mood. She didn't want to offend an Auspicious Beast, and becoming sisters would be the best outcome.

It was inevitable that Wang Qiu'er, as an Auspicious Beast, would mate with Xu Ran.

They were a natural pair.

"I won't eat it," Wang Qiu'er said, pouting at Xiaowu, then taking big bites of the Soul Beast Meat in her mouth. However, the roasted meat seasoned with various spices was unexpectedly tempting.

Xiaowu might not be skilled in cooking, but with the right combination of spices and simply adding them to the roasted meat, the flavor was quite acceptable.

"You really won't try it? It's very delicious, you know?" Xiaowu tempted her, watching Wang Qiu'er. She wore a pink dress and white long stockings, only they were somewhat tarnished with wood charcoal due to the barbecuing, but it didn't affect her appearance in the slightest. If anything, it added a touch of earthly charm, making her look like the cute and capricious girl next door.

"I won't eat it. When I say I won't, I mean it," Wang Qiu'er turned her head away from Xiaowu. However, her drool betrayed her as it dripped down from the corner of her mouth, wetting her golden fur and looking quite comical.

Seeing this, Xiaowu felt a bit helpless.

What could she do in the face of an Auspicious Beast acting like a tipped-over jar of vinegar?

"Who is it that's made my Qiu'er so upset?" Xu Ran approached, seeing this scene and could not help but smile. Auspicious Beasts are usually born alone in an era. Now that Xu Ran appeared like a glitch, Wang Qiu'er naturally developed special feelings for him.

Furthermore, both their beast forms were similar; the difference being Xu Ran was a Kylin, and she was a Three-eyed Golden Lion, with other attributes in common like Light, Holy, Flame, and strong spiritual power.

"Xu Ran, you're back?" Hearing Xu Ran's voice, Wang Qiu'er immediately got up from the ground, blinking her big eyes at him.

"Is my Qiu'er jealous? Why so unhappy?" Xu Ran smiled, walking over to stroke Wang Qiu'er's soft golden fur, and she squinted her eyes, enjoying the touch.

Auspicious Beasts were generally extremely proud.

They disdained close contact with other soul beasts, and for this reason, Xu Ran, the Auspicious Beast she could be close to, was held in high regard by her.

"Of course not, I am an Auspicious Beast, how could I be jealous?" Wang Qiu'er claimed, lifting her golden head proudly, though her gaze was fixed on Xiaowu.

```

The meaning seemed to say, "The Auspicious Beast is one of the most noble soul beasts in the world; no other soul beast can compare. Xiaowu, as a common member of the Soft-boned Rabbit Clan, is even more so."

"Still claiming you're not jealous?" Xu Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, as anyone could detect the jealousy in Wang Qiu'er's words.

"Hmm? What a nice fragrance, is that barbecue?" Xu Ran said with a smile, taking a piece of grilled meat from the rack, as the rich aroma of the meat filled his nostrils. This was clearly Soul Beast Meat that had reached its "Cultivation Level" after tens of thousands of years.

The meat was tender and juicy, and a single bite released a very rich and savory taste of meat, along with hints of seasoning. Xiaowu's cooking skills were not great, but the quality of the ingredients made up for her poor cooking.

"Want a bite?" Xu Ran casually brought a skewer of grilled meat to Wang Qiu'er's mouth.

"I don't want it, I'm not eating anything she's grilled," Wang Qiu'er pouted and muttered.

"Hey, then let me grill it for you. It's a good chance also to show off my cooking skills," Xu Ran said helplessly, glancing at Wang Qiu'er in front of him.

Currently, Wang Qiu'er had not yet formed a correct view of love. In the world of soul beasts, to love is to possess. This view of love is extremely wrong.

How could true love be so selfish?

To love someone is to accept everything about them.

And love must learn to share, to learn to share this love with good friends.

That's the essence of love.

But clearly, Wang Qiu'er had not yet grasped the true meaning of love.

However, fortunately, Xu Ran had plenty of time to teach her, to help her change, to learn how to love someone.

After all, he was going to stay in the Aquipeia Forest for another month to help Gu Yuena recover from her injuries, no rush!

"Sure." Hearing this, both Wang Qiu'er and Xiaowu looked at Xu Ran curiously.

Could someone like Xu Ran actually know how to cook?

With a swift gesture, Xu Ran sliced off the most tender pieces from a large lump of Soul Beast Meat, threaded them onto a metal skewer, and placed them onto the grill. He brushed on aromatic oil, then quickly seasoned the meat with various condiments to perfection, releasing waves of rich aroma that tantalized Xiaowu and Wang Qiu'er's taste buds.

However, at this moment, they weren't focused on the delicious food, but were staring blankly at Xu Ran.

They say a man is at his most handsome when he's serious.

This saying was exemplified to the fullest in Xu Ran's case.

Xu Ran was already exceptionally handsome, his deep and profound eyes seemed to shine when he was focused. Even when engaged in a simple task, he exuded a different charm.

"What are you looking at? Catch this, the barbecue I make isn't something just anyone gets to try," Xu Ran looked over, handing the grilled meat to the lady and the beast.

"Wow, it smells so good." Wang Qiu'er used her paws to take the grilled meat Xu Ran passed to her, nibbling on it bit by bit. Given her auspicious beast's size, this wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth, but in front of Xu Ran, she had to pretend to be ladylike~

"Delicious." Xiaowu also ate with relish, her face oily, as she stared at Xu Ran with stars in her eyes. Xu Ran's grilled meat was slightly greasy, but it tasted indescribably good.

In her eyes, Xu Ran was simply the most perfect person in the whole world. Apart from not being able to give birth, what else was there that Xu Ran couldn't do?
