Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef

Bai Su didn’t feel like talking anymore. She just lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to absorb spiritual power.

Now that she knew the children were her own cubs, at least she wasn’t completely in the dark.

In the original story, the children and their mother went to their graves without ever knowing they were related by blood.

This was progress, at least.

Even if she could never redeem herself in the cubs’ eyes, perhaps this connection would be enough to save her life one day.

Besides, all of her children’s golden points were being credited to her account, which was basically a freebie for her.

She just hadn’t expected to get so many golden points in her account just from ’activating’ two of her children, the wolf cub and the snake cub!

It was enough to exchange for a Skill.

Bai Su wasn’t in a hurry to make the exchange. She planned to first absorb the power Lu Tingyan had given her.

She took a quick look and noticed there were plenty of Attack Skills, as well as various others like Instant Teleportation, Clone, and Invisibility.

She just didn’t know what the range of the Instant Teleportation was.

If it could cross entire countries, it would actually be a pretty good value.

She could use the Instant Teleportation Skill to cross countries and pursue different targets at the same time.

Her consciousness delved into her body. Having been through this once before...

She could feel a warm fluid spreading from her lower abdomen through her entire body, mending it everywhere. More impurities were expelled from within her.

She broke through to Level 4.

Her brood pouch was mended a little more.

System: "Congratulations, Host!!"

Bai Su asked, surprised, ’Isn’t leveling up a little too easy? We just do *that* and I level up?’

System: "The higher your Level, the harder it will be to upgrade later."

Bai Su nodded at that and got up to take a shower.

System: "Host, are you really going to marry Male Lead #1 and become his wife?"

Bai Su: ’What else? We’ve already slept together. It’s not too much to give him the status of my official husband, is it?’

’After all, he did help me level up twice in a row.’

’Besides, he’s a handsome man with outstanding abilities, high status, and immense power... and he’s completely devoted to me.’

’How could I not be tempted?’

When she woke up again, it was the next day.

When Bai Su came out of her room, the little ones were squatting by her door, staring at her with wide, expectant eyes.

She froze, then slapped her forehead.

’How did I never realize I get so love-struck? I completely forgot about the children.’

She quickly scooped up Bai Xiaolang, Bai Xiaoshe, and the other little ones. "I’m so sorry, it was my fault. I forgot all about you. You haven’t eaten yet, have you?"

Bai Xiaoshe snorted. "That Lu guy prepared some canned food for us... Mmph."

Quick as a flash, Bai Xiaolang clamped a hand over his mouth. "But we didn’t eat it! Mama, we’re hungry. We want to eat your cooking..."

Bai Su was instantly wracked with guilt. "Okay, okay, I’ll go make you something right now. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

Bai Xiaolang winked at Bai Xiaoshe. Behind them, the little cat cubs and Little Tiger snickered.

Holding the children, Bai Su hurried to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and started preparing their food.

Bai Xiaoshe watched her bustling figure from behind. He opened his mouth to speak several times, but always ended up silently closing it.

Watching from the side, Bai Xiaolang covered his mouth to stifle a laugh and called out to Bai Su, "Mama, Little Snake wants those hot and sour quail eggs you made last time! He loves all kinds of eggs!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A flash of embarrassment crossed Bai Xiaoshe’s face. He quickly blurted out, "I do not!"

He shot an angry glare at Bai Xiaolang before looking back at Bai Su, as if trying to salvage the situation. "Make it or don’t, I don’t care. Anyway, I... I can just eat the canned food!"

Bai Su couldn’t help but laugh. "Alright then, I won’t make the quail eggs. We’re out of eggs anyway."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Bai Xiaoshe’s eyes, but he forced a calm expression and turned his head to the side to sulk.

Bai Su brought mouth-watering chicken, lemon shrimp balls, and sweet and sour pork ribs to the table. They were mostly Bai Xiaolang’s favorites, and she had made generous portions of each, serving them in large bowls.

Standing to the side, Bai Xiaoshe couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

Bai Su suddenly leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Look, what’s this?"

She placed a bowl of prepared hot and sour quail eggs on the table, right in front of him.

"Wow!" Bai Xiaoshe’s mood brightened instantly. His eyes sparkled as he stared at the big bowl of quail eggs, his face beaming with excitement.

When he noticed Bai Xiaolang and Bai Su watching him, his face flushed red. He forced himself to sit down calmly. "Hmph... I-It’s not like I care about them."

Bai Su said, "But I made so many. It’ll be such a waste if you don’t eat them. Could you help me eat a few, please?"

Bai Xiaoshe barely managed to suppress the smile tugging at his lips. "Well, fine," he said, feigning reluctance.

The little cat cubs and Little Tiger also washed their hands and got to the table. They sat excitedly in their chairs, waving their arms and legs, looking just like baby birds in a nest, chirping to be fed.

Bai Su then brought out the rest of the dishes: steamed fish with scallion oil, curry beef brisket, lotus leaf chicken, and soy-marinated beef.

Suddenly, a small scratch on Bai Xiaolang’s neck caught her eye.

Bai Su leaned in closer, her brow furrowed slightly. "Little Wolf, what happened to your neck? Did something scratch you?"

A guilty look flashed in Bai Xiaolang’s eyes as he quickly covered his neck. "Oh... probably a mosquito bite. I must have scratched it by accident."

Bai Xiaoshe glanced at him, but when Bai Xiaolang shot him a sharp, warning look, he silently shut his mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Su’s heart ached even more. "This is all my fault. I’ve been so neglectful of you. Tonight, I’ll bring some incense to your room. Burn some of it to repel the mosquitoes."

Bai Xiaolang nodded obediently. "Thank you, Mama."

Bai Su ruffled his hair. "My little cubs are still so small and frail. You need your mama to look after you."

Just as they were all about to dig in, a knock suddenly came from the door.

Bai Su froze for a second, then got up to open the door. She saw Bai Ruxin standing there with a Lion Beastman.

They did not look friendly.

’Strictly speaking, Bai Ruxin was her aunt.’

’It’s just that everyone in the family favored Bai Xue, who had a higher Level and stronger fertility.’

’She’d been exiled for several years and had long since grown distant from her family.’

Bai Su didn’t invite them in, simply leaning against the doorframe. "What can I do for you?"

Bai Ruxin looked at her, frowning slightly. "Hello, I’m looking for Bai Su. Is she here?"

The corner of Bai Su’s mouth twitched. "I am Bai Su. Has your eyesight gotten that bad in your old age, Aunt, that you don’t recognize me?"

Bai Ruxin froze, completely stunned. "You’re Bai Su?!"

She looked Bai Su up and down, her gaze finally landing on her face. "How did you get so thin?"

In her memory, Bai Su was a huge, fat girl who struggled just to walk. Her thighs had been thicker than Bai Ruxin’s waist, her features were squashed by rolls of fat, and her chin was so thick she resembled a Hippo Beastman.

But the female before her had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, skin whiter than snow, and lips as red as cherries. The way her eyes moved held an alluring charm she seemed completely unaware of. She was a completely different person from the one in Bai Ruxin’s memory.

Aside from her voice, there was almost no resemblance whatsoever!
