The Wind Whisper Forest 5

Once things started, they quickly spun out of control. Only now did Leng Feng finally understand what true delicacies were. No wonder Hen Quexi had always worn such a bitter expression in the past, complaining that their food was fit only for pigs.

Leng Feng smiled awkwardly, opening his mouth to offer Hen Quexi a troubled explanation: "I'm sorry, Quexi! I... I simply couldn't help myself..." As he apologized, a delicate flush crept across his handsome face.

Yet, despite the beauty sitting right before him, nothing could rival Hen Quexi's ravenous hunger. With a sideways glance, she seized the moment while Leng Feng was apologizing to launch into swift action. Like a sparrow skimming the water's surface like a dragonfly, she took flight and snatched away piece after piece of chicken.

By the time Leng Feng snapped back to reality, an entire plate of braised chicken had been decimated, and several pieces of the fried chicken were already gone as well. Realizing he had been tricked, Leng Feng said no more and immediately joined the fierce battle for the remaining food.

"I'm so stuffed!" In the end, both of them ate until their bellies bulged visibly. Dropping their chopsticks, they collapsed backward onto the grass, gently patting their stomachs and letting out sighs of satisfaction.

"What are you looking at?" Lying on the grass just like Hen Quexi, and having finally grasped the true meaning of life under her guidance, Leng Feng noticed out of the corner of his eye that Hen Quexi's eyes were practically glowing. Her intense gaze made his guilty conscience flare up as she stared intently at him!

Leng Feng touched his handsome face, wondering if he had eaten too fast and gotten food smeared across his skin. But after feeling all over, there was nothing there. Feeling somewhat uneasy, he couldn't help but ask Hen Quexi what was wrong.

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that when you were apologizing earlier, your pink cheeks looked so wonderfully handsome. Now that I'm completely full, why don't you apologize to me one more time so I can look at your flushed face again? Won't you?"

Hen Quexi wore a mischievous grin, brimming with playful teasing. She even reached out a hand, intending to stroke Leng Feng's cheek. Frightened, Leng Feng hurriedly ducked out of the way.

"Ah, Quexi—I mean, didn't you bury some other chicken in the dirt earlier? Shouldn't we hurry up and dig it up to see if it's done yet?" As he spoke, Leng Feng quickly sat up and looked toward the dying campfire.

"There it is, that exact shade of pink! Suddenly, I find you so adorable, Leng Feng! Hehe, if we stuck a few chicken feathers on your head, you'd instantly turn into a colorful chicken prince!"

Turn into a colorful chicken prince? Wouldn't that make him a beast? Was she dropping hints that she wanted him to become a beast? Was that it?

"However, there's one major flaw with you as this colorful chicken prince! Your appetite is simply too huge. If you were to marry me, I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to feed you! Such a pity for that giant colorful chicken—you practically devoured the whole thing in one go!"

Seeing Hen Quexi's deadpan, serious expression, the corners of Leng Feng's mouth twitched. Following her profound gaze, he looked over and discovered that right where they had been eating, there was now one large pile of bones and one small pile. The larger pile happened to correspond directly to his side.

At this sight, Leng Feng's eyes widened in sheer astonishment. "Did... did I really eat all of this?" He had absolutely no memory of it in his mind. All he remembered was eating a plate of chicken gizzards with green peppers and then fighting Hen Quexi for the fried chicken chunks!

Still, it shouldn't have been this much, right? Naturally, Hen Quexi would never tell Leng Feng that as she ate, she had continuously tossed her own chicken bones over to his side.

Watching Leng Feng's expression shift through a kaleidoscope of changes, Hen Quexi chuckled inwardly, finding it endlessly amusing. She cackled devilishly in her heart: That'll teach you to steal my food! Let's see if you dare try to grab my Beggar's Chicken later! Hehe!
