Xiao Jinsheng swaggered into the main seat, her gaze sweeping across the five n: "Go cook."
She turned her head to Su Ye: "Didn’t you say you were hungry? Go cook then, are you waiting for to do it?"
"I cook often, I’ll go," Huaiqing, who usually spoke little, offered as he got up to head to the kitchen.
Xiao Jinsheng stopped him directly: "You don’t need to handle kitchen affairs."
She had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of the five butchers.
So Xiao Jinsheng had her own plan.
In her plan, people were divided into two categories: persuadable and non-persuadable.
Clearly, Que Zelian and Huaiqing, who seed gentle and had a good temperant, were the two persuadable ones.
"I call the shots in this house," Xiao Jinsheng said sternly, pointing at Su Ye: "You’ll be responsible for three als a day from now on."
"Alright," Su Ye confidently agreed.
Xiao Jinsheng looked at Mo Jiao.
Truth be told, Mo Jiao was the first to stab her in her nightmare.
Even though Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t really afraid of snakes, facing Mo Jiao made her nervous.
"You’ll be responsible for washing dishes in the future," Xiao Jinsheng assigned the task to Mo Jiao without refusal.
"Washing dishes?" Mo Jiao murmured.
"Yes, you’ll be responsible for washing dishes," Xiao Jinsheng emphasized, and added: "The other four are heavily beastified, furry or feathered, they don’t like water."
"You’re the only one who’s a beastified snake, capable of handling water."
"What if I’m afraid of water?" Mo Jiao raised his chin slightly and countered.
"I’m informing you, not negotiating," Xiao Jinsheng intensified her tone.
Mo Jiao leaned back against the sofa, his purple eyes smiling, watching Xiao Jinsheng with an obscure look.
Yet he didn’t oppose her further.
"Que Zelian and Yu Yunxiao, you’ll be responsible for hunting outside from now on," Xiao Jinsheng assigned tasks to others after Su Ye confidently headed to the kitchen.
She then looked at Que Zelian: "You just..."
Faced with Que Zelian’s confused gaze, Xiao Jinsheng stumbled.
She wanted Que Zelian to stay by her side to protect her.
But then rembered, he’s one of the five butchers after all.
Xiao Jinsheng changed course and told Que Zelian: "You’ll handle the household cleaning for now."
"Just clean the first floor," she added, worried Que Zelian might go to the second floor.
The rooms of the five beast husbands, and terminals were allocated on the second floor.
But Xiao Jinsheng didn’t want the five butchers sleeping on the sa floor as her.
Fortunately, there was a room on the first floor; she planned to let them sleep there.
"You sure you want to hunt outside?" Yu Yunxiao was shocked, thinking Xiao Jinsheng didn’t understand him, introduced himself again while pointing at himself: ", Yu Yunxiao, Healing Superpower Three Stars, no destructive power."
"So what?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.
Her doubtful gaze fell on Yu Yunxiao, and disdainful words were spoken with a long drawl: "Little kitty, are you incompetent?"
"Don’t you know there’s a saying that a cat who doesn’t want to be a combat-crazy beast isn’t a good healing Beastman."
"Is that really a saying?" Yu Yunxiao shook his head: "I haven’t heard it."
"It’s because you lack knowledge," Xiao Jinsheng snorted.
While coaxing Yu Yunxiao, Xiao Jinsheng was entirely unashad.
Because she noticed Yu Yunxiao retreating aside deep in thought, even his cat ears twitching.
Making Xiao Jinsheng want to reach out and pinch them.
But rembering this cute kitty would eventually beco one of the butchers who killed her, Xiao Jinsheng imdiately abandoned the idea of petting the cat.
For the first al at ho, Su Ye was very enthusiastic about cooking.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jinsheng didn’t cook, only ate pre-prepared als from the terminal.
There weren’t many ingredients left in the fridge.
But Su Ye managed to use the limited ingredients to prepare a full table of green dishes.
Green with oil, glowing green.
Green enough to reflect a layer of green on Xiao Jinsheng’s face.
She curiously picked up a bright green strip with chopsticks and asked: "What’s this?"
"Jade Cold Jade," Su Ye nad the dish.
"What’s this, does my house have such a dish?" Xiao Jinsheng studied the bright green strip.
Only when it was clear that Su Ye had handled it, only the clearest and most refined part remained cut.
Unable to recognize it, she asked Su Ye to try it first before daring to taste.
Upon tasting, her face twisted instantly.
"This stuff is so bitter!" Xiao Jinsheng painfully closed her eyes.
"Bitter lon," Su Ye honestly answered.
He had deliberately chosen the bitterest one from a pile of mutated bitter lons.
Seeing Xiao Jinsheng with high temper, having so bitter lon would clear her heat.
As a result, Xiao Jinsheng’s temper flared even higher.
She hurriedly grabbed a peeled orange segnt to cleanse the bitterness.
The bitterness hadn’t dissipated when sourness flooded her face.
Unconvinced, Xiao Jinsheng tried every dish on the table.
If not bitter, they were even bitterer.
If not bitterer, they were downright sour.
She slamd down her chopsticks with a ’clap’ sound and teeth gritted at Su Ye: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"Which dish on this table is edible?"
"Should I go make sothing else?" Huaiqing politely suggested, trying to smooth things over.
"No, I want him to do it!" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.
She gulped down a glass of water, yet the sour-bitter taste in her mouth persisted.
Xiao Jinsheng glared at Su Ye: "You’re new here, we just t."
"But no matter what, we’re going to be family from now on."
"If we can’t agree on als, we won’t have a reason to stay together."
"I’ll give you another chance."
"Make a dessert. If it works, you can stay; if not, we’ll part on good terms."
"Considering we don’t have feelings yet, you can go ho."
"Are you saying you want to terminate the terminal binding with ?" Su Ye frowned, asking.
"Yes, also called divorce," Xiao Jinsheng explained, "because our tastes differ, forcing us together might cause future resentnt."
Su Ye and Mo Jiao, at this mont in Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes, were two beast husbands who couldn’t be persuaded.
But in dealing with Su Ye, she thought of a thod.
Different tastes, unsuited to be one family.
Even if she proposed separating, she thought Su Ye wouldn’t hold a grudge against her.
It’s his cooking that didn’t suit her tastes.
"Dessert? I got it ready," Surprisingly, Su Ye’s attitude seed like he had no intention of parting.
He got up and returned to the kitchen, soon bringing out a strawberry cake, placing it before Xiao Jinsheng.
"This surely isn’t bitter," Su Ye remarked.
Slling the sweet fragrance of the cake before her, Xiao Jinsheng, whose mouth was numbly bitter, quickly grabbed a spoon and tasted it.
The taste was a bit overly sweet.
Even for Xiao Jinsheng’s usual preference, it was overly cloying.
But having just had bitter lon, she needed sothing sweet to tone down the taste.
Unable to resist, she soon devoured the small cake entirely.
As Xiao Jinsheng took a napkin to wipe her mouth, she heard Su Ye laughingly ask: "You liked this sweetness? You ate it all, so I guess we have the sa taste, right?"
"Cough cough." Xiao Jinsheng’s face reddened, too embarrassed to et Su Ye’s gaze.
She hadn’t anticipated that her just-executed plan would backfire on her.
And it backfired so quickly.
