Chapter 55 – But now, she felt that being able to eat artificial meat was also a kind of happiness (3)
Perhaps, he had insisted on maintaining his human form out in the snow, so that he could steadily hold onto these trophies.
Seeing that the meat in the pot was almost ready to eat, Ruan Qiuqiu, who was sitting on the stone bed, could only softly call out, “Mr. Food Reserve.”
As soon as she said these words, she could see the fur moving on Mr. Gray Wolf’s intact ear as if he had heard her words.
Ruan Qiuqiu’s heart slightly moved. She called out again, “Mr. Food Reserve… Husband, can you open your hands?”
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t know if he had heard her, but when she tried to open his hand again, the gray wolf seemed to have given up on resisting. He had relaxed his grip.
Ruan Qiuqiu’s heart softened. After she pried open his hands, which were much bigger than hers, all the way, she could clearly see the trophies from his fight.
A fiend bone that was as sharp as claws, a patch of very pretty red fur, and a light blue… crystal core?
Ruan Qiuqiu thought that she must be mistaken. She picked the crystal up and examined it several times before confidently confirming that although this light blue crystal was very similar to the crystal cores from the post-apocalyptic mutant creatures, it wasn’t exactly the same. The crystal core that Mr. Gray Wolf brought back had over ten times more energy.
Ruan Qiuqiu guessed that this must be the fiend core from the fiend that Mr. Gray Wolf had fought.
Why didn’t he absorb this fiend core?
Was it because he didn’t have a water ability? Or was it because… he wanted to give it to her?
Under the fire light, Ruan Qiuqiu looked at the blood-stained crystal-clear fiend core. She couldn’t put into words what she was feeling.
Before she had married him, she had heard that the former chief of the Fire Wolf Tribe was a twisted gray wolf, who had committed all kinds of atrocities. Those demons had said he would kill anyone just for looking at him, that he didn’t have a heart, and would kill at the drop of a hat.
But during the time that she had spent with him, except for their first meeting when he had looked quite terrifying, other than lying in bed, he had only fought to defend them.
She hadn’t seen any signs of him being brutal or vicious.
Ruan Qiuqiu held the fiend core in her hand and gradually made a decision.
It didn’t take long for the meat to finish cooking. Ruan Qiuqiu fished the meat out and mushed it up with the meat soup to make Mr. Gray Wolf’s food.
When she tried to feed the wolf this time, Mr. Food Reserve was very uncooperative. It took a long time for Ruan Qiuqiu to feed him that bowl of fragrant meat.
Perhaps, it was because he had eaten meat. His complexion looked a bit better.
After that, Ruan Qiuqiu added tuber power to the soup. As she ate the tuber powder soup that had the flavor of meat, she felt quite miserable.
In the past, she had earned contribution points by selling water in the post-apocalyptic world and exchanged those points for artificial meat. Back then, she had felt that artificial meat tasted extremely bad and didn’t taste like meat.
But now, she felt that being able to eat artificial meat was also a kind of happiness.
It was snowing heavily outside, and Ruan Qiuqiu was exhausted, but she didn’t dare to fall asleep like last night.
While waiting for the night to pass, she got a solid wooden stick from the storage room and planned on making a weapon using the sharp claw-like bone that Mr. Gray Wolf had brought back.
Ruan Qiuqiu had made the right decision in not going to sleep. By the time she was half-done assembling her weapon and dawn had just broken on the horizon, Mr. Gray Wolf started getting feverish.
