Beast World Food Stall: Feeding My Cubs and Taming My Beast Husbands

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: The Whereabouts of Ao Wu and Fuzai

Unable to refuse her serpent’s advances, Yu An felt like a piece of fish being pan-fried, done on one side and then flipped to the other.

When the sound of the shower started up again in the bathroom, their night of passion finally came to a close.

Yu An didn’t want to move an inch, lying limp in Mo Yan’s arms and letting him clean her up.

Back in the warmth of their bed, it was still early. Yu An rested her head on Mo Yan’s arm, her finger idly tracing circles on his chest.

"Mo Yan, let me tell you something..."

Having been apart for so long, the couple had endless things to say to each other. Yu An told him about the Pseudo Beast God and everything that had happened in Winter City, losing all track of time as she spoke. By the time she realized it, the first light of dawn was breaking outside.

Mo Yan listened intently, offering his own opinions from time to time. When he saw Yu An let out an involuntary yawn, he pulled the blanket up higher around her.

"An’an, we can talk about the rest later. You should get some sleep."

He glanced at the time. "It’s already light out. Let me out, and I’ll go make breakfast for the zaizais."

"Let’s sleep together," Yu An said, rubbing her eyes. "You stayed up all night with me. If we don’t go out, Fourth Brother will take the zaizais to get food."

"Alright, let’s sleep together."

Mo Yan wasn’t sleepy, but with his soft, warm wife in his arms, he was more than happy to spend a little more time with Yu An.

The two of them slept soundly. Outside, after waiting a long time for their Female Mother and Beast Father to emerge, Little Serpent and Little Wolf went and knocked expertly on Ao Si’s door.

"Who is it..."

Ao Si opened the door, his eyes bleary with sleep. "Oh, it’s the two young masters. Is something wrong?"

They had been traveling through the night for the past few days. He didn’t have to drive, but the journey had been so bumpy that no one could get any sleep. So, if nothing came up today, he had planned to sleep all day.

Little Serpent looked up at him. "Fourth Uncle... I mean, Hall Master Uncle, our Female Mother and Beast Father aren’t awake yet, but my brother and I are hungry. We want breakfast."

Ao Si shook his head to clear it. "Breakfast, huh? Let’s go, Fourth Uncle will take you to get some... Wait a minute!"

’The two young masters politely called me "Uncle," so why am I calling myself "Uncle" too?’

’I must still be half-asleep. I should go wash my face to wake up.’

After washing up, Ao Si heated up some milk and the leftover buns from the previous night. He even tossed together a small side dish.

His culinary skills were limited, but the zaizais weren’t picky eaters. They each ate five of the buns, which were as big as an adult’s fist.

Just like the previous evening, Ao Si was worried they would eat so much they’d get sick, but the two little ones were perfectly fine.

He himself was full after just two buns. For a moment, he wondered which of them were the adults and which were the children.

’Also, Little Wolf was supposed to be in Winter City. Why did he show up here for dinner last night?’

Ao Si puzzled over it for a moment, but when he couldn’t figure it out, he gave up. ’Ah, well. It must have been the Hall Master’s doing. No point in overthinking it. I could be doing something better with my time.’

When Mo Yan got out of bed, she found that Little Serpent and Little Wolf had already finished eating and were in the courtyard, practicing their martial arts with impressive form.

Yu An and Mo Yan didn’t wake up until noon. Fortunately, Han Fengyun knew how to cook, and some of the guards were also skilled in the kitchen. Otherwise, Ao Si would have had to heat up buns again.

Yu An hadn’t told Mo Yan the truth yesterday, and when she discussed it with her husband that night, he also advised her against revealing the real situation.

They didn’t know when Han Li would recover, and telling Mo Yan would only make one more person worry needlessly.

The day after Yu An’s group left Winter City, the messenger sent by Ao Er arrived, having just missed them.

The messenger heard Yu An had gone to Qing City and immediately changed direction to head there. But Yu An’s group was moving too quickly, and for all his haste, he couldn’t catch them.

"The only ones left to find are Ao Wu and Fuzai. Oh, and Little Wolf was able to leave the confines of Winter City. I suspect it’s because of the Divine Stone in his body. You and Little Serpent should try to see if you can leave Qing City."

The Divine Stone was the only new variable. Yu An took Mo Yan and Little Serpent to the city gate to test her theory, and sure enough, the father and son were also able to leave.

Mo Yan’s face lit up. "An’an, when are we leaving?"

Yu An mulled it over for a moment. "I’ve heard from Second Brother. He’s sending a messenger to Winter City, so why don’t we go there?"

"If we find Ao Wu and Fuzai, we can all return together. If we can’t find them... Fuzai also has a piece of the Divine Stone in him. We can resume the search after we meet up with Feng Xuan and Lan Ying."

There was also the matter of the Divine Mountain. Before she left, Yu An told Lu Lu to find a chance to move the Blood Crystals from the warehouse to another location.

Although for now they couldn’t change the people who had become Blood Crystals back to normal, they at least had to prevent the crystals from being transported to the Upper Realm.

Mo Yan had no objections. After they returned, he had their things packed, ready to set out for Winter City the next day.

The messenger rushed nonstop and finally reached Qing City on the third day. But after asking around the city for a long time, he found no trace of Yu An or her party.

It wasn’t until he inquired at the Qing City branch of the Beast God Hall that he learned Yu An’s group had left long ago. As for where they went...

"They were headed in the direction of Winter City. The Hall Master and her group must have gone to Winter City."

The messenger: "..."

Fearing he would delay important business, he hadn’t dared to rest for even a moment. Luckily, Yu An’s group traveled more slowly on their return to Winter City, allowing him to finally catch up to them on the road.

"Flew away? What do you mean?"

Yu An was completely baffled after reading Ao Er’s letter. Once the messenger had caught his breath, he personally described the scene to her.

"So, you saw a golden dragon fly away with the zaizai?"

"Yes," the messenger said hurriedly. "The Hall Master gave chase, but the dragon was too fast. None of us got a clear look at which direction it flew before it vanished."

Yu An asked for more details about the dragon, and the messenger answered every question. She estimated that the dragon had to be Ao Wu.

Based on the messenger’s description, something seemed off about Ao Wu. Logically, he should have recognized Ao Er on sight.

Yu An immediately ordered them to change course for Fei City. The city was already in an uproar. The Fei City branch hall had mobilized all of its personnel, practically turning the city upside down in the search!

Bounty Orders were posted in every street and alley, the reward money listed on them tantalizingly high. Any household with free time formed groups of three or five to search every corner of Fei City.

After all, if someone managed to find the person on the Bounty Order, it would be no different than becoming rich overnight.

When Yu An’s party arrived in Fei City, they were greeted by this lively scene. One moment, she was wondering if some kind of festival was going on; the next, she saw the Bounty Order.

When Ao Er hurried over, he quickly explained everything to her.

Ao Er’s description was much the same as the messenger’s. Yu An and Mo Yan each took one of the zaizais and began to search, hoping the Divine Stone would react if they got close enough.

But they spent three days combing through every part of Fei City, and the Divine Stone never detected the other fragment.

Yu An sat in a chair, her head tilted back as she stared blankly at a white cloud in the sky.

The weather was pleasant today, with a few clouds drifting by. She’d heard Ao Wu and Fuzai had vanished in mid-air, so she had dispatched the Cloud Beasts to search the skies at first light.

Unfortunately, they too had found nothing.

’Disappeared from the sky.’

She had learned from Tian Shu that the passage to the Upper Realm was also in the sky.

’Could there be a connection between the two?’
