Free Web NovelChapter 123: Chapter 103: It’s Them Again
’Control, I have to control myself. This food is for the Master of the Undead. If I eat it, the Undead will roast me!’
’But if I don’t eat, I’ll starve to death.’
A little angel and a little demon appeared in the Little Cat Girl’s mind.
The Little Demon said, "Eat! Even if you die, you should die on a full stomach!"
The Angel said, "The Little Demon is right."
’I’ve held back and held back, but I can’t take it anymore. I’ll just... test if the meat is cooked for the Master of the Undead.’
Her sharp claws, like little knives, sliced at the roasted meat, easily carving off a piece. As the meat was cut, it released an even richer, more fragrant aroma.
She stole a glance at Li Ziyu and saw him talking to the other Humans. With lightning speed, the Little Cat Girl popped the small piece of roasted meat into her mouth.
’Mmph, hot, hot, hot.’
Even though it burned her mouth, the starving Little Cat Girl had no intention of spitting it out. Instead, she clamped her hands over her mouth and chewed with all her might.
’It really is so fragrant! And so delicious! These Undead are amazing at roasting meat!’
’Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor!’
She might have been able to resist if she hadn’t eaten, but after that first bite, the Little Cat Girl couldn’t hold back at all. She glanced toward Li Ziyu again. He didn’t seem to have noticed. Her little hand shot out, and she boldly snatched the entire piece of roasted meat. Ignoring the heat, she started stuffing it directly into her mouth.
Unfortunately, her mouth was too small. Trying to stuff the whole thing in at once was impossible. She could only shove and chew at the same time, her cheeks puffing out until the Little Cat Girl looked more like a little hamster.
"Are you not afraid of getting burned?" Just as the Little Cat Girl had her full attention on tackling the roasted meat, Li Ziyu appeared in front of her. He squatted down and watched her with curiosity as he asked.
Little Cat Girl: Σ(°△°|||)
’I’ve... I’ve been caught!’
It was as if she’d been hit by a Body Fixing Technique; the Little Cat Girl, caught stealing the roasted meat, froze instantly.
A large hand rested on her head and ruffled her hair. Then she heard the Master of the Undead’s gentle voice. "Eat slowly. It’s all yours."
Little Cat Girl: [・_・?]
She looked up to see a smiling face.
"Mine?" After managing to pull the meat out of her mouth, the Little Cat Girl stared blankly at Li Ziyu and asked.
"Yes, yours. I had this roasted meat prepared for you. Finish it before you go. There’s no rush," Li Ziyu said kindly, a gentle smile still on his face.
The Little Cat Girl was stunned. She looked at the roasted meat in her hands, then back at Li Ziyu. She slowly brought the meat to her mouth, her pace much slower this time, as tears welled up in her eyes again.
Her Tribe was very small, and there was never enough food. For a parentless child like her, who depended on her older sister to survive, it was even worse. Even the adult Catman were constantly starving, never knowing where their next meal would come from.
She wouldn’t have left the Tribe if she hadn’t been desperate with hunger. After all, the Wasteland was an incredibly dangerous place for a child like her.
She was so young, she couldn’t understand why the Master of the Undead was being so kind to her. In her memory, the only person who would give her food was her sister.
Li Ziyu had just spoken with Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing, sending them to gather intelligence on the Alliance Army. Mumu and Tas Tuling had also been sent away. With nothing else to do, he simply sat on his White Bone Throne and watched the Little Cat Girl eat.
The Little Cat Girl must have been very hungry. Though she was eating slower than before, she was still wolfing down the food, occasionally shivering when the hot meat burned her. After finishing the first piece, her gaze shifted to the remaining one. She turned her head to look at Li Ziyu, who just smiled and nodded, giving her permission to keep eating.
She reached out and grabbed the other piece of meat. But just as she was about to bring it to her mouth, the Little Cat Girl suddenly paused. Instead of eating it, she asked in a small voice, "Can I take this with me?"
