Bai Di was cooking porridge. When he saw Shuang Yun's flushed face, he knew that Huanhuan must have suffered a lot last night.
"Huanhuan is still asleep?"
Shuang Yun nodded as he ate. "Yes."
Bai Di said, "Huanhuan must be tired after such a long journey. You should have let her rest for two days."
"I want her to rest too, but I can't help it." Shuang Yun finished the bun in his hand in two or three bites. "You don't know what that kind of hunger is like. You can be with Huanhuan every day. You can be as intimate as you want. But I can't. I've been holding myself back for more than two months. Even in my dreams, I'm making out with her. If I hold it in for two more days, I might explode on the spot."
Bai Di smiled helplessly.
Although he stayed with Huanhuan every day, he had never actually mated with her in the past two months.
However, there was no need to tell Shuang Yun these things, lest he became even smugger.
Eggy flew into the kitchen and landed on the stove.
Shuang Yun tore open a meat bun and handed it to her.
She ate heartily.
Bai Di asked her, "How long did you play with Clement last night?"
Speaking of this, Eggy was very excited. "We played all night and only stopped just now. He's not very fast, but he's especially determined. He'll definitely be a powerful lackey in the future!"
At this moment, Clement had already slithered to the second floor.
He pushed open the door and slithered silently onto the bed.
At this moment, Huanhuan was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that a little black snake had crawled into her arms.
Clement rested his head on her chest and closed his eyes comfortably.
He had chased after that yellow furball all night last night. He was exhausted.
Although he still didn't succeed in catching the yellow furball, it didn't matter. When he was full of energy, he would catch her again. One day, he would catch her and eat her!
In the kitchen, Bai Di brought the freshly cooked meat porridge to the table.
The three of them gathered around the table and ate the buns and porridge with relish.
As he ate, Shuang Yun asked, "Why is that brat from the Blazing Dog Tribe with you?"
"Quan Rong?"
"Mhm."
Bai Di smiled meaningfully. "Because he wants a mate."
"A mate?" Shuang Yun was furious when he heard this. "That kid actually took a fancy to Huanhuan? Dream on!"
"Ahem, he doesn't like Huanhuan. He likes your daughter."
Shuang Yun was stunned. "Are you saying that he has taken a fancy to Big Goody?"
"Mhm."
Shuang Yun slammed the table. "That's even more impossible!"
Eggy glared at him unhappily. "Be gentle. Mom is still sleeping!"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Shuang Yun quickly lowered his voice.
He looked up at the door on the second floor. After confirming that Huanhuan was not awake, he was relieved.
Shuang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "That brat from the Blazing Dog Tribe is not worthy of my daughter at all! He's punching above his weight!"
Bai Di said, "But Huanhuan has a good impression of Quan Rong."
"That's useless! Huanhuan is innocent by nature. She's easily deceived."
"What if Huanhuan is willing to accept Quan Rong as our son-in-law? Are you going to go against Huanhuan?"
Shuang Yun hesitated. "Does Huanhuan really like him that much?"
Bai Di said, "I just want you to calm down. Don't be so quick to disregard him, or Huanhuan won't be happy later."
Shuang Yun put the half-eaten meat bun in his bowl with a worried expression.
The precious daughter he had painstakingly raised was about to be snatched away by someone else's brat.
The more Shuang Yun thought about it, the more indignant he felt!
Bai Di understood him.
No father could bear to give his precious daughter to others.
At this moment, Jiu Yuan suddenly knocked on the door.
Shuang Yun opened the door and invited him in.
"Have you had breakfast? Bai Di made steamed meat buns. Do you want to try them?"
Jiu Yuan was quite impressed with Bai Di's culinary skills. When he learned that there were fragrant meat buns, Jiu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the two steaming meat buns before eating them.
After he finished eating, he explained his intentions.
"Cang Yi came to see you. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
Shuang Yun turned to Bai Di in the kitchen. "Huanhuan must be tired from last night. Tell her to sleep more and wake her up for food later. I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Mhm."
After Shuang Yun went down the mountain, he saw Cang Yi at the foot of the mountain.
Ever since the misunderstanding was resolved, Shuang Yun and Cang Yi became friends.
Cang Yi smiled and greeted him. "Your Majesty, you look quite energetic today. You must have had a good night, right?"
Shuang Yun was quite pleased with himself. "Not bad."
"I don't like to beat about the bush. I came to His Majesty today only behalf of my brother to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage."
Marriage?!
The smile on Shuang Yun's face froze.
Just now, he was scolding Quan Rong for punching above one's weight. He didn't expect his brother to come looking for him in the blink of an eye.
Cang Yi actually wanted to propose marriage? Dream on!
His precious daughter was not that easy to marry!
Shuang Yun cursed Quan Rong in his heart, but he did not show any emotions on his face.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he said politely, "It's indeed rare for your Quan Rong to take a fancy to my Big Goody, but mating is not child's play. I have to obtain Big Goody's approval and the approval of our family before I can give an answer."
Seeing that he did not refuse directly, Cang Yi was already very happy.
After all, females were very rare these days. If one wanted to marry a female, one had to spend a lot of effort!
Cang Yi quickly said, "You can take your time to consider this matter. There's no hurry. I've already sent someone to prepare the betrothal gifts. As long as you agree, we'll immediately bring the betrothal gifts to your door."
Shuang Yun wanted to roll his eyes.
'I'll never agree!'
He smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with my family first. Forgive me for not sending you off. Goodbye."
After Shuang Yun left, Cang Yi returned to the relay station.
Quan Rong came forward and asked nervously, "What did Shuang Yun say?"
"He neither agreed nor refused. He said he wants to go back and discuss it with his family before making a decision."
"W-Will they agree?"
"That depends on your performance."
At the same time, Shuang Yun returned home.
Bai Di saw his anger and asked, "What happened to you? Who provoked you again?"
Shuang Yun gritted his teeth fiercely. "Cang Yi came to propose on behalf of his brother!"
