Chapter 336: What A Stupid Teammate!

The welcome banquet was set up on the first floor of the Divine Wood Temple. There were tables and chairs made of wood, as well as cups and plates made of grass and petals. The place and set-up had a refreshing aura.
As Bai Di and Xuan Wei did not like to eat vegetables, they did not look forward to the welcome banquet of the Divine Wood clan.
But when the dishes were served, they were surprised to find meat!
It was sliced into slices. They were white and did not have any seasoning. They looked very light, but compared to the fruits and vegetables, it was obviously more to Bai Di and Xuan Wei’s taste.
Bai Di tried to eat it, but to his surprise, it wasn’t meat!
It tasted very soft in his mouth. It did taste a little like fatty meat, but it was not as greasy as meat. It had a faint fragrance in his mouth.
Noticing Bai Di’s puzzled expression, Xue Hui took the initiative to explain, “These are dishes made of Moonlight Mushrooms. These mushrooms are soft and delicious. They’re very similar to the meat dishes you carnivores like, so I specially got someone to prepare these for you.”
Hearing this, Huanhuan was curious and tried a Moonlight Mushroom.
It was unexpectedly delicious.
She whispered to Bai Di, “When we get home, we’ll plant some mushrooms too.”
Mushrooms were especially nice when used to make soup. They were also delicious when stir-fried with vegetables and cooked in hotpot!
Thinking of the various ways to eat mushrooms, Huanhuan couldn’t help but swallow again.
Bai Di knew exactly what she was thinking when he saw her gluttony. He smiled indulgently. “Okay.”
In order to welcome Huanhuan, Bi Huan personally attended the welcome banquet. He got someone to bring five cups of fruit dew to Huanhuan and Xuan Wei.
The fruit dew was in wooden cups. Huanhuan peeked around and realized that the contents in all five cups were different colors.
The contents of the glass in front of her were pink and looked especially cute.
The contents of Bai Di’s cup were golden, Xue Ling’s was orange-red, and Xuan Wei’s was light green.
Bi Huan smiled. “I made the fruit dew myself. I hope you like it.”
Xue Hui looked at the five of them enviously. “Not only does the high priest make yummy fruit dew, but it also has all kinds of magical effects. For example, Huanhuan’s cup of pink fruit dew has the effect of beautifying one’s face. I’ve only drunk it once in the past, and the high priest has never made it for me again.”
Huanhuan blinked. “I can give you half of mine.”
Xue Hui cheered up at this and was about to agree when she was stopped by Bi Huan’s cough.
Bi Huan coughed twice and said, “If you want to drink it, I’ll make it for you later. This glass of fruit dew is specially for Huanhuan. Don’t snatch her things.”
Huanhuan quickly said, “It’s fine even if I don’t drink it…”
“No, these are the rules. You can’t mess around.”
Seeing Bi Huan’s serious expression, Huanhuan could not say anything else. She looked at Xue Hui apologetically.
Xue Hui smiled. “Don’t look at me like that. The high priest has already said that he’ll make more fruit dew for me. I’m looking forward to it. Hurry up and drink your fruit dew. If you leave it for too long, it won’t taste fresh.”
Huanhuan replied, “Okay.”
She picked up the cup and took a small sip. It was sour and sweet with a refreshing fruity fragrance. It was indeed delicious.
Huanhuan took another big sip.
Bi Huan asked, “How does it taste?”
“It’s delicious!” Huanhuan praised sincerely.
“I’m glad you like it.” Bi Huan was very relieved. “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll make you a few more cups of fruit dew.”
Huanhuan was flattered and quickly waved her hand. “You’re so busy. I’m very satisfied that you found the time to make me a cup of fruit dew. You don’t have to waste your time on me.”
Bi Huan looked at her obedient and cute appearance and couldn’t help but sigh.
“You’re a good child. If only my son was as obedient and sensible as you.”
At this, he looked around and realized that there was no sign of Ah Gui at the table. He turned to look at the sled. “Where’s Ah Gui?”
Xue Hui thought for a moment before saying, “His stomach hurt just now. He probably went to the bathroom.”
She had just finished talking when Ah Gui appeared.
When Bi Huan saw him, he asked, “Didn’t I inform you yesterday that there was a welcome banquet today? Where did you go just now? Why did you only come now?”
Ah Gui did not see Xue Hui mouthing at him. He opened his mouth and randomly lied, “I accidentally fell when I went out just now and dirtied my clothes. I just went back to change.”
Xue Hui covered her forehead. What a stupid teammate!
Bi Huan turned to look at Xue Hui. “Didn’t you just say his stomach hurt?”
Xue Hui had nothing to say. She could only lower her head and accept the scolding.
Bi Huan sneered. “It’s fine if he’s fooling around, but you’re covering for him. The two of you complement each other very well!”
Xue Hui would always be willing to admit her mistake. She quickly nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Bi Huan: “…”
Ah Gui said stiffly, “Come at me if you have anything to say. Don’t get angry at Sister Xue Hui.”
Xue Hui quickly shot him a look to stop him from adding fuel to the fire.
Bi Huan frowned. “What’s with your attitude? You’re the one who did something wrong. Can’t I even say a few words?”
“What did I do wrong?” he asked reasonably.
“I told you yesterday that this welcome banquet is very important. Why are you late? Did you ignore what I said?!”
“So what if I’m late? It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not!”
“You!”
Bi Huan frowned in anger, his green eyes turning dark green.
Ah Gui felt a little weak under his glare, but then he puffed out his chest and glared back at him, showing that he was not afraid of him at all.
The originally happy atmosphere instantly quietened down.
Xue Hui quickly got up and pulled Ah Gui aside. She whispered, “There are guests present today. Don’t say too much. Do me a favor, okay?”
Ah Gui was still angry, but he gave Xue Hui face and replied angrily, “Alright.”
Xue Hui pulled him to a seat. Bi Huan glanced at him. Although he was unhappy, he didn’t say anything else.
Xue Hui smiled and said a few words to ease the atmosphere before suppressing the awkward atmosphere.
After eating and drinking, Bai Di carried Huanhuan back.
Huanhuan instructed, “We have to teach the children well in the future. We can’t be fierce to them for no reason. Don’t let them become as awkward as Ah Gui.”
It was really tiring to raise a brat!
Bai Di smiled. “Big White and Little White are very obedient.”
Speaking of the tiger babies, Huanhuan couldn’t help but sigh. She hoped that these messy things would pass quickly. She missed the children.
Upon returning to their residence, Huanhuan yawned.
Bai Di saw that she was sleepy, so he put her to bed and covered her with a blanket.
Huanhuan closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
She had a lot of dreams that night.
