"Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you." At this moment, Cheng Mo was holding a bowl of seafood porridge, scooping up a spoonful and bringing it to Si Lu's lips.
Si Lu glanced at Tata across from her and blushed slightly.
There were still others around, after all.
She felt a little embarrassed.
Just looking at it, she felt a little shy, a little awkward.
But to Tata and the others, this was the most normal thing in the world.
After all, females were supposed to be meticulously cared for by male beastmen!
Of course, Tata noticed Si Lu's shyness and laughed.
"Don't be embarrassed; it's totally fine! Look at me."
"Ka Yi, I want you to peel shrimp and crab for me too," Tata said with a sweet smile, looking at her mate Ka Yi.
"Mhm, I'll peel them for you." Ka Yi looked at Tata with affection and began peeling a large shrimp.
Si Lu blinked a couple times, then opened her mouth and drank the seafood porridge that Cheng Mo fed her.
The moment Si Lu swallowed it, her eyes instantly lit up.
This seafood porridge was amazing! So fresh and flavorful! It was made with rice, of course, with added shrimp and clam meat. There were also chopped scallions to get rid of any fishy smell. Honestly, it tasted absolutely fantastic!
"You guys should try this seafood porridge too. It's really delicious! As expected, the ocean is truly nature's gift!"
"Thank you, nature, for your bounty!" Si Lu said sincerely.
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and bowed respectfully toward the ocean.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Then, Tata also bowed toward the ocean, mimicking Si Lu's gesture.
Soon, everyone else followed and bowed as well.
Si Lu watched them with a smile.
This really was...
Too funny!
Of course, she was genuinely grateful for nature's gifts!
Everyone ate the seafood feast, each person full of pleasant surprise.
They hadn't expected it to taste this good.
"Lu Lu, this crab and shrimp are just too delicious. And the porridge—it's honestly the best thing I've ever eaten!"
"Wuwuwu, it's just too good…" Tata was eating while crying.
Her green eyes were misty with tears as she continued eating.
Si Lu was completely stunned! Not just Si Lu—even her mates were utterly shocked.
What was going on here?! It was just a nice meal—how did it end up like this?! It was delicious, sure, but this was a bit much!
Of course, the most flustered one was Tata's mate, Ka Yi.
Watching his beloved female cry as she ate, his heart was breaking.
At the same time, Ka Yi also blamed himself deep down.
He hadn't taken good enough care of his little female.
That's why—just by tasting something good—she was moved to tears.
"Don't cry. If you want to eat this again next time, I'll try to make it for you. Of course, I'll need to ask Si Lu and her mates for help then."
"Don't cry, Tata." Ka Yi gently comforted her, wiping her tears away.
Si Lu looked at Heiyao beside her, then at Cheng Mo and the rest of her mates.
She saw confusion in their eyes, as well as…
Okay, fine!
"Don't cry. If you like it so much, you can come over to my place for meals anytime. We can even let your mate learn from mine, so you can eat yummy food all the time!" Si Lu said with a smile.
"Mhm mhm, Lu Lu, you're the best." Tata beamed after hearing that.
Ka Yi was instantly speechless.
He'd been comforting her for ages, and it didn't work.
But the moment Si Lu spoke, Tata stopped crying and even started smiling.
She was way too obedient.
Ka Yi glanced at Si Lu, then looked back at Tata beside him.
"Alright then, if you like it, eat more." Si Lu smiled. At that moment, Heiyao had just finished peeling a second large shrimp and held it out for Si Lu.
Si Lu grinned and took a big bite, her cheeks puffing up full like a little hamster—utterly adorable.
Everyone around them burst into laughter.
"Eat slowly," Heiyao said gently as he looked at her.
"Delish, really delish!" Si Lu mumbled with a mouthful.
Just the thought of achieving seafood freedom made her incredibly happy.
Cheng Mo silently wiped her mouth.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this meal.
Si Lu ate until she was completely stuffed.
What could she do? It was just too tasty.
Tata was the same—also stuffed.
In the end, Ka Yi had to help her walk away.
The two little crocodiles followed slowly behind them, crawling back.
Without her playmates, little Cheng Yu clung to Si Lu nonstop.
Cheng Mo went off to prepare milk for the baby beast.
Meanwhile, Bai Di, Nansi, and the others cleaned up the mess.
Of course, this meal was a thoroughly satisfying one for everyone.
Si Lu leaned against Heiyao's shoulder, holding the little cub in her arms, occasionally stroking its head and back.
She was beyond content.
"Lu Lu, since you love seafood so much, we'll go catch some more later. It's still early. Heiyao and the cub can stay with you." Cheng Mo said with a smile.
He even passed her some sunflower seeds.
He didn't understand.
What was so good about these so-called sunflower seeds? But the little female loved them to death.
She munched on them like an addiction!
To be honest, the actual meat inside was so small, and you had to spit out the shells—not tasty at all.
But alas, the little female liked them!
As long as she enjoyed it, that's all that mattered.
Besides, none of them had seen this kind of snack before.
Of course, anything they hadn't seen before must've come from the little female's mysterious space.
Si Lu glanced at Cheng Mo and grabbed a handful of seeds, cracking them open again.
Indeed, sunflower seeds were the soul of snacking!
Cheng Mo then led a few of the others to the beach to gather more seafood.
Naturally, he didn't call Bai Di.
Because in this household, Bai Di was the only witch doctor, and they felt much more at ease with him watching over Si Lu.
Si Lu munched her snacks as she rested by the fire—it was pure bliss.
This kind of life felt so peaceful.
Si Lu leaned against Heiyao's shoulder, watching as the sky gradually darkened, and even a few stars began to appear.
Little Cheng Yu had fallen asleep in her arms.
Just then, Bai Di noticed and gently carried the baby cub inside the cave to sleep.
"Lu Lu, I'm worried you'll get hungry later. I've kept the seafood porridge warm. If you're hungry, you can have some." Bai Di said warmly to Si Lu.
He knew that since she'd just given birth, her body was still weak and it was easy for her to get hungry, so he had made sure to be prepared.
"Mhm mhm, Ah Di, you're so thoughtful," Si Lu said with a smile.
These people were just so kind to her! She really—cried to death!
"How come Ah Mo and the others aren't back yet? It's already dark." Si Lu said as she sat by the fire, starting to worry.
Exactly.
Even though they were strong and had great night vision, she couldn't help but worry.
