After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 112 How Could It Be You?

In the stillness of the night, Chu Xinyao was awakened by a strong feeling of hunger.

Perhaps because the four babies were competing for nutrients, she got hungry exceptionally quickly. She lay in bed, her eyes wide open in the darkness, her thoughts drifting.

She didn't want to eat the ingredients she already had in her space. Instead, she thought about the roast meat for dinner on the ship tonight. Tender and juicy pieces of meat slowly turned over on the charcoal fire, dripping oil and making a sizzling sound. Accompanied by the aroma of chili peppers, it was mouthwatering.

Unable to bear it any longer, she got out of bed and tiptoed to the ship's kitchen.

She didn't knock on Yu Zijing's door next door, not wanting to disturb him while he was sleeping.

Upon entering the kitchen, although it was filled with various ingredients, she felt no interest in them whatsoever.

All she could think about was the delicious, spicy roasted meat.

The orcs on the ship had big appetites, and the roasted meat they had that night was completely devoured, leaving not a single piece.

Chu Xinyao was somewhat dissatisfied, but she didn't complain. Instead, she found some animal meat and prepared to cook it herself.

Aside from fish soup, Yu Zijing's other skills are not as good as hers, so over the past three months, her grilling skills have become more and more proficient.

The meat was cut into even chunks, marinated with spices, and they were preparing to open the ship's "oven" for roasting the meat. This oven was different from the others; it contained a special fuel that burned continuously.

A lazy voice suddenly rang out, "Aunt Yu'er?"

Yu Paopao gently pushed open the door and saw Chu Xinyao busy at work. She was somewhat surprised, not expecting to see her here at this time.

"It's Bubble!" Chu Xinyao couldn't help but laugh when she saw it was him.

Fish Bubble is much more serious now than before; he won't flirt with her intentionally or unintentionally anymore.

Seeing her reach for the oven handle, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and pulled her towards him. "Careful!"

The flames almost burned her hair. Chu Xinyao's face turned pale, and she hid in Yu Paopao's arms, looking terrified.

Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Yu Paopao gently pushed her away and comforted her, "It's alright, Aunt Yu'er. Do you want to eat barbecue? Let me help you!"

Chu Xinyao nodded. "Thank you. I'm a little hungry and would like some barbecue."

"I'll help you bake it; this oven is difficult to operate. You go back and rest first, and I'll bring it to you when it's done."

"No, no, no, there's no need to go to such trouble." Chu Xinyao felt really embarrassed to trouble him like that.

"Oh, no need to be so polite, we're family!"

Yu Paopao recalled what his father had told him before. Although he had refused, he understood the importance of Aunt Yu'er's status as a saintess.

Even if he doesn't want to be her beastly husband, he can still be her close family member.

"Aunt Yu'er, it's very foggy here, you should go back and rest."

"Can......"

"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at grilling meat."

Chu Xinyao was moved by Yu Paopao's persistence. "Alright then, Paopao, I'll leave it to you," she said softly, then turned and left the kitchen.

Standing outside the door, Chu Xinyao couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, listening to the "clinking" sounds inside, and slowly returned to her room.

The room was softly lit, and the moonlight from outside the window spilled onto the floor, creating patches of silver light.

Chu Xinyao's thoughts drifted away slowly, time passed unnoticed, her consciousness began to blur, and she gradually drifted into sleep.

Finally, the fish in the kitchen stopped what it was doing. It placed the meat pieces in a shell dish and sprinkled them with a little spicy spice.

Holding a plate, he knocked on Chu Xinyao's door.

"Aunt Yu'er, the barbecue is ready."

Chu Xinyao woke up from her dream, opened her eyes, and saw Yu Paopao standing at the door, holding a plate of fragrant roasted meat.

"Oh, quick, come in quickly."

Fish Bubble walked into the room and placed the plate on the table in front of Chu Xinyao.

She took the plate and sat down. But suddenly, she lost her appetite.

Seeing the expectant look in Bubble's eyes, she felt a little embarrassed. "Bubble, your barbecue smells so good."

"Then Aunt Yu'er, please have a taste!"

"Okay, you sit down and eat too." Chu Xinyao only took one bite and didn't want to eat anymore.

Yu Paopao looked puzzled; he could tell that Chu Xinyao seemed a little off.

"Aunt Yu'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Xinyao shook her head, not wanting Yu Paopao to worry. "It's okay, I just suddenly stopped feeling hungry. You eat first, I'll watch you eat."

"Ah, that's it."

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Fish Bubble, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, started eating as well.

After taking a few bites, he looked up and asked, "Aunt Yu'er, are you really not going to eat?"

Chu Xinyao shook her head, suddenly feeling that his way of addressing her made her feel strangely awkward.

She chuckled and said to Bubble, "Bubble, you shouldn't call me Aunt Yu'er anymore. It feels really awkward. Just call me what you used to call me."

Yu Paopao paused in her eating of the grilled meat, looking at her with some confusion.

Seeing him staring blankly, Chu Xinyao suddenly realized something and couldn't help but chuckle. "No way, Bubble, you didn't recognize me?" She pointed at herself, a mischievous look on her face.

"Do we...know each other?" Fish Bubble thought carefully. Did they know each other before?

Chu Xinyao's expression turned somewhat playful as she remembered that she had previously used Duoduo's appearance.

"Oh, right, I forgot, you've never seen my real face. I'm Chu Xinyao. You saved me during the storm on the ship. Have you forgotten?"

She tossed her long hair aside, her face changing instantly, transforming into the white-haired, red-eyed figure in Fish Bubble's mind. "How about this? Do you remember now?"

"Little female!"

Fish Bubble's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing this form of address, Chu Xinyao pursed her lips; such a form of address was rather strange.

"Little female," isn't that just like the "woman" that domineering CEOs call out?

Well, even a young woman is better than Aunt Yu'er.

"Well, it's me."

"How could it be you!" Yu Paopao's face was very ugly, and she gripped the dagger in her hand tightly.

"Hmm?" Chu Xinyao was a little unsure of what to do, so she reverted to her original appearance.

Thinking that Bubble was angry that she had lied to him, she quickly explained, "Bubble, don't be angry. I was doing this because," she carefully chose her words, "you can see that I look quite eye-catching, so I changed into someone else's appearance before. I didn't mean to lie to you, so don't be angry."

Fish Bubble lowered his head, his face dark and sullen, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.

Chu Xinyao looked at him, her heart pounding with anxiety. She didn't know why Yu Paopao was reacting this way. She gently walked to his side and said, "Paopao, I really didn't mean any harm. I just didn't want to attract too much attention."

Fish Bubble was silent for a while, then looked up, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I'm sorry, little female."

He turned and left, his departing figure appearing somewhat hurried, as if he were fleeing something. His steps were hurried, as if he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Bubble?"

Chu Xinyao stood there, watching Yu Paopao's figure disappear outside the door.
