Chapter 297 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 25
Herren frowned slightly, turned to look at Wang Ma, and asked with a hint of reproach in his voice, "Wang Ma, what's wrong?"
Wang Ma was startled and quickly explained, "Young Master, it's nothing. I just accidentally bit my tongue."
Herren glanced at her, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't delve into it. He simply said, "Wang Ma, if you're tired, go and rest. I'll explain the rest to Chu Mo."
Although Wang Ma was unwilling, she dared not disobey He Lun's wishes and could only say, "Okay, young master, I'll take my leave now and go prepare dinner for you."
After saying that, she turned and left, her steps slightly hurried.
Shen Chumo looked at He Lun with a half-smile, "Young Master He, if I have a conflict with Wang Ma in this family in the future, should I listen to her, or should she listen to me?"
Herren chuckled lightly, "Are you trying to compete with the Queen for favor?"
Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow but didn't speak. Helen awkwardly touched his nose.
"Of course she'll listen to you, but let me remind you, Aunt Wang has worked in my family for over 30 years, and she has a lot of influence with my parents. If you go too far, she might tell my parents, and then things will get complicated."
Shen Chumo chuckled. Wasn't He Lun's meaning still to make her listen to Wang Ma? However, she wasn't too disappointed. He Lun's feelings for her were purely out of novelty, and it was already quite good that he had gone this far for her.
She dropped her ambiguous smile and adopted a calm expression.
"I understand. I'll be careful not to make things difficult for you."
When Herren saw Shen Chumo's sudden change in attitude, he secretly thought to himself that something was wrong and realized that his words might have caused her to misunderstand.
He quickly grasped Shen Chumo's hand and explained earnestly, "Chumo, don't misunderstand."
That's not what I meant. I was afraid that Wang Ma would exaggerate things in front of my parents and cause you unnecessary trouble.
Of course I want you to be comfortable and at ease in this home. If Aunt Wang really treats you badly, you must tell me, and I will definitely stand by your side.
Shen Chumo smiled slightly and squeezed He Lun's hand back. "I know, okay, I'm not that petty. I was just teasing you. I'll try my best to get along with Aunt Wang. If there are any problems I can't solve, I'll definitely come to you first."
She blinked, her eyes sparkling with playfulness.
Herren breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what was going on. He was the owner, and Shen Chumo, as the pet, should be trying to please him, but now it seemed like their positions had been reversed.
Now he had to watch Shen Chumo's expression, but, to be honest, Helen clicked his tongue. This feeling wasn't bad. After all, he liked Shen Chumo's personality. If Shen Chumo acted like a human pet, acting cute and coquettish, he wouldn't be used to it.
If Shen Chumo knew what He Lun was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes and curse, "This guy is just a jerk."
Herren put his arm around Shen Chumo's shoulder. "Let's go eat."
Shen Chumo nodded, and the two went to the restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Wang Ma began to serve the dishes. One after another, exquisite dishes were brought to the table, and the aroma filled the air.
Seeing that Shen Chumo dared to sit on the table so brazenly, Wang Ma couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen, mind your place. As a pet, you should stand next to your owner and serve them food."
You can eat the rest of the food after the owner has finished eating.
Shen Chumo ignored Wang Ma and turned to look at He Lun.
Herren took a deep breath. "Aunt Wang, from now on, Chu Mo will have the same status as me in this family. Whatever I can do, she can do too."
"How is this possible?"
Wang Ma's deeply ingrained beliefs, despite her long-held convictions, still compelled her to argue: "Young Master, since ancient times, humans have been considered inferior beings by us beastmen, and can be kept as pets. What you are doing is against the rules."
"What rules? Here, I am the rule."
Herren looked at Wang Ma, his tone icy and leaving no room for argument.
“But…” Wang Ma wanted to say something more, but was immediately interrupted impatiently by Herren, “Wang Ma, is it your rule to keep contradicting me?”
Wang Ma's face flushed red. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Herren's gaze, and stammered, "Young Master, I...I know I was wrong."
Shen Chumo gracefully picked up the cutlery, smiled at Wang Ma, and asked, "Wang Ma, can I eat now?"
“Of course.” Wang Ma tried to keep smiling, but her hands trembled slightly with anger and resentment.
Shen Chumo slowly began to eat. After a few bites, she frowned. Sure enough, she still couldn't get used to the food made by the orcs. Although it looked exquisite, the meat was not only dry but also had a fishy taste.
The vegetables also tasted strange, like they hadn't been washed properly and had an earthy smell.
Standing to the side, Wang Ma took in Shen Chumo's frowning expression. She couldn't help but sneer, "It seems Miss Shen isn't used to our beastmen's food. How about I prepare a special local dish for her?"
"Local cuisine" is the most common food eaten by humans in the world because it is cheap and filling. Gradually, the term "local cuisine" has become a word used to insult humans.
Shen Chumo put down her cutlery, raised her head, and looked directly into Wang Ma's eyes, her gaze revealing a hint of coldness.
"Wang Ma, did you cook these meals yourself?"
“Of course,” said Aunt Wang proudly. “Every dish here is carefully prepared by me.”
Shen Chumo chuckled and turned to look at Helen. "Helen, so you had such a miserable life before, that you grew up eating this kind of... stuff." She deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes filled with mockery and teasing.
After spending two days with Shen Chumo and eating Hu Le's cooking, He Lun naturally understood that Shen Chumo's words were not meant as mockery, but simply the truth.
He played along with Shen Chumo, revealing a helpless yet amused expression, "I didn't realize it before, but now that you mention it, it seems to be true."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ma's face turned pale and then red. She said angrily, "Miss Shen, these are all delicacies in the eyes of us orcs. I carefully prepared them according to the young master's usual tastes."
Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow, looked at Wang Ma, and said slowly, "Wang Ma, it seems you don't really understand Alan's tastes. This meat is tough and fishy, and the vegetables have an earthy taste. Are you sure you prepared this carefully? Could it be... on purpose?" As she finished speaking, her eyes became more scrutinizing.
Wang Ma was furious. She had served Young Master Herren for so many years, and her greatest pride was her cooking skills, but now she was being mocked by a human she looked down upon the most.
“Miss Shen, I advise you not to go too far! If it weren’t for the young master, a lowly human like you would never be able to eat the food I cook.”
