CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 102 HAVE YOU TRIED THE TASTE OF A HUG?_1

The three-year-old adorable milk bun in front of him had a big, round face like an apple, rosy cheeks, and large eyes, yet her expression remained dazed.

After hesitating for a moment, the snake Beastman cub still left this earthen hovel.

Three days later, when the snake Beastman cub was desperately hungry again, he chose to enter this earthen hovel once more.

Upon entering, he saw a small plate of food and, without a second thought, quickly ate it.

If he didn’t eat, he would starve to death; he had no choice in the matter.

After finishing the food and looking back, the adorable milk bun was still sitting there, watching him.

In her large, clear black-and-white eyes, however, there was hardly any spirit.

After the snake Beastman cub licked the plate clean, he walked over to sit opposite her.

Looking at this silly, adorable milk bun, his young, tender voice filled the air, "They say you’re the Second Young Miss of Myriad Beasts City."

The adorable milk bun stared at him with her big eyes.

"The Second Young Miss of Myriad Beasts City lives in the best house in Myriad Beasts City and eats the best meat in Myriad Beasts City. Yet, no one takes care of you. Where is your father beast?"

The adorable milk bun didn’t speak.

"I’ve been watching you for a few days. Besides someone bringing you food, no one takes care of you. You look well-cared for and bright, but you’re actually just as pitiful as I am."

The snake Beastman cub reached out his slender hand and poked her soft cheek.

"Little fool, they think you’re stupid and look down on you, right?"

Her cheek was soft and felt incredibly good to his touch.

Looking at the pure, innocent little fool before him, a hint of malice arose in the snake Beastman cub’s heart. He said,

"Unlucky little fool, I’ve eaten all your food, and no one has noticed. You don’t speak. You don’t know how to complain. If I eat your meat every day like this, will you starve to death?"

The adorable milk bun still didn’t speak.

The snake Beastman cub withdrew his hand.

He looked at the little milk bun in front of him, who didn’t know how to resist. His eyes sparkled with a joy he had never shown before. "Little fool, have you ever experienced a hug?"

A hint of confusion appeared in the adorable milk bun’s eyes.

The snake Beastman cub said, "Seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll let you experience it once. I’ve only been hugged once myself."

With that, not caring whether the adorable milk bun minded or not, he reached out his arms and picked up the three-year-old milk bun.

A six-year-old cub holding a three-year-old milk bun.

At that moment, the world seemed to slow down for the snake Beastman cub.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally set the milk bun down, feeling a little dazed.

She’s just a fool. What would she know about hugs?

He was just too bored.

He sat her back down on the bed and looked at her once more.

It was as if he were looking at another version of himself.

"Little fool, you look so pitiful. You don’t even have anyone to talk to."

Wang, you look so pitiful, with no one to talk to.

"How about this: I’ll teach you to speak. You call me ’Brother,’ and as long as you call me ’Brother,’ I’ll protect you from now on."

Let’s do this: I’ll keep you company, you keep me company, and I’ll protect you.

The adorable milk bun looked at him blankly, not fully understanding.

The snake Beastman cub slowly came back to his senses. Looking at the adorable milk bun, a warmth he had never felt before appeared in his eyes.

He said patiently, "Little fool, say... ’Brother.’ Copy me: Bro... ther."

The adorable milk bun, perhaps not understanding, pursed her lips.

"’Brother.’ Say ’Brother.’"

"Yan... Yan," the adorable milk bun said in her soft, childish voice, opening her mouth.

Hearing her speak, the snake Beastman cub was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, open your mouth and copy me. Bro... ther."

"Yan... Yan," the adorable milk bun opened her mouth again. "Yan Yan."

"..."

Si Yan watched the exchange between the snake Beastman cub and the adorable milk bun. It was the first time she had witnessed patience and joy in the eyes of the cold-blooded Beastman.

Although it felt a bit like a chicken talking to a duck.

The gecko stretched out its small claws and playfully scratched her neck, smiling. "Grandson, does seeing this remind you of anything?"

"What should it remind me of?" Si Yan asked, puzzled. "Are you saying this is... me? The original host?"

The sky here was very bright, and even the air was fresh.

That proved the Great Demon King held this memory dear.

I always thought... he didn’t know the original host.

The gecko lay down lazily.

The scene before them continued.

After starting to interact with the adorable milk bun, the snake Beastman cub stayed in the hovel.

The hovel provided shelter from wind and rain, and someone even delivered food regularly.

It felt incredibly good.

Young Si Yan was small and had a small appetite. The Beastmen of Myriad Beasts City, who didn’t care if she lived or died, were unaware of the extra mouth in her hovel.

So, not much meat was delivered each day.

The meat-stealing snake Beastman cub, just as malicious, didn’t care if she went hungry.

He would gobble up all her meat in one go, leaving the adorable milk bun to starve.

And so, the snake Beastman cub starved her for two days.

This three-year-old adorable milk bun couldn’t speak, nor did she know how to cry or call out for help.

The malicious snake Beastman cub not only starved her but sometimes also scared her.

The adorable milk bun had probably been starving for three days when the snake Beastman cub began to act menacingly in front of her.

In an instant, he transformed into his snake form; his purple, vertical pupils suddenly materializing. A relatively small snake head appeared before the adorable milk bun.

The adorable milk bun was instantly petrified.

For the first time in a long time, an expression of pure terror crossed her face.

She immediately burst into tears, wailing loudly.

Thirsty, hungry, and terrified.

"Little fool, so you’re afraid of snakes, huh?" the snake Beastman cub taunted without a hint of guilt.

The adorable milk bun’s crying grew even more intense.

The little milk bun cried and cried, and the snake Beastman cub suddenly grew anxious.

"Hey, hey, don’t cry." The cold-blooded snake Beastman cub flicked his forked tongue.

His attempts to comfort her were useless; little Si Yan cried even harder.

This alarmed the cold-blooded snake Beastman cub. He quickly approached, saw her crying with a flushed face, and placed a hand on her head.

Why is she so hot?

"Little fool, you’re sick."

Little Wang’s first instinct was to call someone to treat her.

He threw stones in front of the Beastman delivering food, trying to signal him to go inside.

However, the Beastman merely glanced disdainfully at the hovel before turning and leaving.

He then went into Myriad Beasts City to find a Witch Doctor for her.

But when they heard it was the Second Young Miss of Myriad Beasts City, not one was willing to come.

It turned out that even as the Second Young Miss of Myriad Beasts City, no one would treat her.

Defeated, he returned to the hovel to find the adorable milk bun wailing.

He sighed deeply, sat on her bed, and gently pulled her into his embrace from behind.

"Let me tell you," the snake Beastman cub murmured, "little fool, no one is willing to save you now. I can’t treat illnesses either, so there’s no medicine. You can only rely on yourself to pull through.

"If you feel hot, burrow into my arms; my body is cold. Right now, I can’t do anything else but stay with you. Whether you live or die is up to you."

After speaking, he sighed deeply once more.

"You have to get better, understand? From now on, Brother won’t steal your meat anymore."
