Mayne rented a large, spacious shop in the business district on the first floor and set it up as the chamber of commerce’s branch on the rock mountain.
He had chosen a good location. It was next to Huanhuan’s shop.
As Huanhuan’s family business had always been good, Mayne’s chamber of commerce also benefited a little and attracted some customers.
Sang Ye took out many fish from the pond, and Bai Di cooked them for a huge hotpot meal.
Hence, tonight’s dinner was hotpot.
Xue Ling also came to freeload.

He seemed to have made up his mind to stay in the attic for a long time. He had no intention of returning to the feather tribe.
However, seeing that he had helped a lot along the way, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye did not object to his freeloading. They tacitly agreed to him staying.

Bai Di first picked out the most tender fish, picked out the bones, and placed the fish into Huanhuan’s bowl. Then, he distributed a few fish to the four wolf cubs.
After taking care of the females and cubs, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye started eating.
Xue Ling ate very carefully, but he was also very fast. He didn’t even spit out the fish bones and chewed them all.
Huanhuan heard the sound of bones being chewed and looked at him in horror. “Why don’t you even spit out the fish bones? Aren’t you afraid of them getting stuck in your throat?”
Xue Ling swallowed the fish bones in his mouth and said reluctantly, “As long as I chew them, they won’t get stuck.”
The large pot of fish meat and soup was devoured.
After eating and drinking, Shuang Yun touched his stomach and said, “I’ll cook for you tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Sang Ye and the wolf cubs immediately stopped.
The wolf cubs howled and cried.
“Howl, howl, howl!”
Huanhuan quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sang Ye felt sad. “They must have heard that Shuang Yun was going to cook and were so frightened that they cried.”
“Is his cooking really that bad?”
Sang Ye’s expression was really indescribable.

Shuang Yun jumped up and said, “In the month you were away, I’ve been practicing my cooking diligently. My culinary skills have improved greatly. I’ll cook for you tomorrow. It won’t taste any worse than Bai Di’s!”
Lin Huanhuan was skeptical. “Really?”
“It’s true!”
Xue Ling was a foodie, so he had never rejected delicacies. When he heard Shuang Yun’s guarantee, he immediately became interested. “Then I’ll leave tomorrow’s breakfast to you.”
Shuang Yun patted his chest and promised, “No problem!”
The wolf cubs were roaring!
That night, Shuang Yun was the first to recommend himself to Huanhuan, but he was rejected again.
She said, “I’m sleeping with Sang Ye tonight.”
Shuang Yun was very unhappy. “You slept with Sang Ye the last night before you left, and now you want to sleep with Sang Ye again. Is he the only one in your heart? Just because he has two penises?!”

Huanhuan held her forehead. “Shut up.”
Shuang Yun carried her into his bedroom and said shamelessly, “I don’t care. I want to sleep with you tonight!”

“I have something to tell Sang Ye. I’ll sleep with you tomorrow night, okay?”
Shuang Yun was still indignant. “What do you have to say that you need the entire night?”
Huanhuan had no choice but to use her ultimate killing move. She hugged his neck and kissed him.
The little female’s lips were soft and sweet. Shuang Yun couldn’t stop kissing her.
It was only when they were both panting that Huanhuan moved back. Her lips were red, and her eyes were sparkling. Her voice was soft. “Let me sleep with Sang Ye tonight, okay?”
Shuang Yun’s heart was in a puddle now. He couldn’t bear to refuse the little female’s request, so he could only compromise helplessly. “Okay.”
Huanhuan kissed him loudly on the cheek again. “I like you so much!”
The tips of Shuang Yun’s ears turned red.
He looked away. “Hmph.”
Huanhuan walked out of Shuang Yun’s bedroom and quietly walked into Sang Ye’s bedroom.
Sang Ye was slightly startled to see Huanhuan enter. “Why are you here? I thought you’d sleep with Shuang Yun tonight.”
Huanhuan walked over and hugged his arm. “Shall I stay with you tonight?”
Sang Ye picked her up and placed her on his lap. “Of course.”
Huanhuan looked at him and realized that his skin was pale no matter what. Even his skin felt cold to the touch.
She took out the black crystal essence from her interspatial ring. “This is for you.”
Sang Ye had seen crystal essence before, but they were only the essence of green crystals or blue crystals. Moreover, they were only the size of a fingernail.
Such a large piece of black crystal essence was really a rare treasure!
He took the essence and immediately felt the powerful force contained in the crystal.
That power was perfectly compatible with his beast soul.
Before he could even prepare, his body had already begun to automatically absorb the dark attribute energy in the crystal essence.
Sang Ye suddenly revealed his beast form. A huge python filled the entire bedroom and was slowly squeezed to the door.
Huanhuan saw that the python’s body was glowing with a faint black luster. The black crystal essence was wrapped around the snake beast, and the light was getting brighter.

“Sang Ye!” Huanhuan called out worriedly. “What’s wrong?”
The python looked up at her in the doorway. He extended his tongue and swept it across her cheek. “Don’t worry,” he said hoarsely. “I’m fine.”
Bai Di and Shuang Yun heard the commotion and came out of their rooms.
Shuang Yun looked surprised to see the python in the bedroom. “What happened to you?”
Sang Ye said, “I’m absorbing the energy in the crystal essence.”
Bai Di saw the crystal essence that he had wrapped around and frowned. “The dark attribute power contained in this crystal essence is very huge. You should be sufficiently prepared before absorbing it. If you don’t digest it well, your body will explode from the energy.”
Sang Ye sighed. “I just touched the crystal essence, but my body involuntarily began to absorb it. I couldn’t control my body.”
There was no other way.
Bai Di said, “Slow down. The process might be a little uncomfortable. You just have to get through it. If you really can’t, let us know. We’ll help you think of a way. Don’t force yourself.”
“I understand.”
The energy contained in the crystal essence far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
It took Sang Ye an entire day and night to absorb all the energy.
Even after the matter with Sang Ye, Shuang Yun insisted on cooking breakfast himself the next day.
As for the taste of breakfast…

Huanhuan felt that if she disliked anyone in the future, she would invite them to her house and let Shuang Yun cook for them!
