Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef
Chapter 123 - 122: They’re Coming to Blast You with a Cannon
Yelias glanced at him. "A little rabbit’s teeth require special care."
He gently stroked the little rabbit, his voice soft. "Susu, open your mouth."
Bai Su obediently opened her mouth, revealing a wet, pink tongue. She licked her little rabbit teeth a bit shyly.
Beside them, Lu Tingyan once again began to radiate spiritual power from his entire body.
Yelias shot him a dark look.
Lu Tingyan cleared his throat and reined in his spiritual power.
Yelias poured out a reagent and meticulously cleaned the inside of the little rabbit’s mouth, his movements gentle and precise.
It was so comfortable that Bai Su couldn’t help but start to doze off.
The two men were still meticulously examining her body.
Bai Su yawned. She really couldn’t stay awake any longer. Letting them do as they pleased, she closed her eyes, stuck out her little chubby rabbit belly, and brazenly went to sleep.

The Bai family residence.
In Rachel’s study, Bai Rongrong sat staring at the flickering information on the computer, her expression growing more and more shocked.
When she was leaving the detention center, Rachel had turned and said one thing to her, "Remember to water the flower on my study desk. Don’t let it wither."
But there were no fresh flowers on Rachel’s desk at all, only a flower wallpaper on the smart-brain’s holographic screen.
Following Rachel’s hint and entering the computer’s password, she saw it was filled with densely packed information.
The contents were shocking—it was all of Rachel and her daughter Bai Xue’s dealings with the Medical Alliance over the years.
No wonder...
No wonder that even though the Bai family was clearly the weakest of the Imperial City’s four great families, Bai Xue had been able to live a life even more lavish than the daughter of a tribal chief.
No wonder they had been able to befriend so many of the Imperial City’s nobles.
Bai Rongrong stared at the interface with the red button, the cold, flickering light of the holographic screen reflected in her eyes.
After a long moment, she finally reached out and pressed the button.
Her fingers trembled with excitement.
’If Rachel and her daughter die, won’t I be able to take their place and continue as the liaison with the Medical Alliance?’
’Then, everything Bai Xue and her mother had will be mine!’
Bai Rongrong’s heart pounded louder and louder. Trembling, she followed the address on the screen and sent her email pledging allegiance.
The other party replied quickly: "OK."
They agreed!
Bai Rongrong clapped a hand over her mouth, her entire body trembling with excitement.
’The Medical Alliance has so many resources at its command that even Lady Zhu Li has to do their bidding.’
’As long as I become one of them, I’ll be able to easily surpass not just Bai Xue, but even the Bai Su of today!’
She refreshed the interface again and again, staring at the two letters "OK." A silent, gleeful laugh spread across her face.
After her laughter subsided, she slumped onto the desk, burying her face in her arms.
"Mom, I’m going to make something of myself..."
A choked sob echoed in the study, so faint it was almost imperceptible.
While the upper floor of the Bai residence was silent, the ground floor was filled with clamor.
The three siblings—Bai Ruxin, Bai Jiayue, and Bai Ruyan—looked at Bai Junlan in baffled shock. "Why?!"
They couldn’t believe that Bai Junlan would actually give such a good marriage opportunity to Bai Rongrong.
A marriage alliance with the Yan Family’s eldest young master, Yan Tai, was a rare opportunity to climb the social ladder.
They had no chance with the Wolf Beastman Lu Family, and the Bear Beastman Bi Family only had one female, Bi Yue, who was currently imprisoned.
That only left the Lion Beastman Yan Family. Yan Tai and Yan Jiu were on relatively good terms with Lu Tingyan, and the Yan Family’s third daughter had brought them considerable leverage due to her pregnancy.
The reason the siblings were so agitated was that even without Bai Xue, their own main family branch still had outstanding females. Why on earth would they need to give such a golden opportunity to someone from a branch family?
Bai Junlan said, "Are you questioning my decision?"
Bai Ruyan was vexed. "Grandmother, Bai Xue is still rotting in jail. Aren’t we going to get her out?"
Bai Ruxin added, "Besides, Bai Su is the leader’s fiancée now. Once she marries him, our Bai Family’s status will rise with hers. The females in our family will naturally be able to forge even better connections."
Bai Jiayue rolled her eyes. "Her? Give me a break. That unfilial, heartless, ungrateful wretch."
A couple of days ago, she had given Bai Su an out, asking her to send over some food.
’While I can’t deny I wanted to see if the food could help restore my fertility, that brat completely ignored me and just told me to go wait in line at the restaurant.’
’I’m that damn girl’s aunt! Her own aunt!’
’Do I really need to line up like some common outsider? Wouldn’t I become a laughingstock?’
Bai Jiayue was absolutely livid. Now, just hearing Bai Su’s name made her furious.
Bai Junlan said, "I will save Xue’er, you can rest assured."
"The lot of you need to broaden your horizons. Stop staring at your own little patch of dirt."
"No matter how much that girl Bai Su wants to sever ties, she is still a member of the Bai Family. Once she marries the leader, our family’s status will be in a completely different league. And with that girl Bai Xue on top of that..."
"In short, our Bai Family is about to rise to a whole new level. Putting that girl Rongrong forward to match with the Yan Family is perfectly suitable."
Seeing that Bai Ruyan was about to get agitated again...
Bai Junlan shot him a cold look. "Rest assured. Since we can give this piece of the pie—the Yan Family—to Rongrong, Xue’er’s situation will only be better than hers, not worse."
Hearing this, Bai Ruyan finally calmed down, a look of joy spreading across his face.
’As long as the matriarch is willing to act, that girl Xue’er can be saved!’

Bai Su’s heat cycle had passed, and all the preparations for the surgery were finally complete.
But since that morning, she’d had a strange, sinking feeling of unease in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
The mountaintop restaurant was completely closed for business.
Outside, only Lu Tingyan’s men stood guard in multiple layers, surrounding the restaurant so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. In the air above, Bird Beastmen were hidden in the nearby forest, patrolling.
To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, the guards outside were all hidden from sight, making the mountaintop appear unremarkable.
Yelias was in the operating room, making pre-op preparations.
Bai Su lay on the operating table, a little nervous.
She tried her best to look relaxed.
Yelias smiled and kissed her on the head. "Susu, don’t be nervous. Trust me. I would never joke with your life. I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t ninety percent sure of success."
Bai Su nodded obediently.
She couldn’t quite describe the feeling, but she was terribly apprehensive.
「Elsewhere.」
Lu Tingyan and Yodel were escorting Bai Xue from a secret prison in the city to the mountaintop.
To avoid attracting attention, the two of them were traveling just as they would on any other day.
Bai Xue had been given a heavy dose of sedatives and was sleeping soundly in the trunk.
The car had just left the Jing Suburb when Lu Tingyan’s keen senses picked up on something abnormal.
Yodel asked, "Leader?"
Lu Tingyan’s expression didn’t change. "It’s nothing. Just keep driving."
He sent a message on his smart-brain to the guards on the mountaintop, telling them to stay on high alert.
Just as he was about to put down his smart-brain, a message from Wen Lan popped up: "Bro, we’re screwed. My idiot subordinate messed up and sent in your complaint."
Lu Tingyan: "?"
Wen Lan: "Watch out. They’re bringing out the big guns to blow you up."
Lu Tingyan: "..."
After sending the message, Wen Lan put down his smart-brain, polished the exquisite antlers on his head, and preened in the mirror on his desk. "I’m so beautiful."
His subordinate immediately started sucking up. "Isn’t that the truth! Brother Lan, you’re the officially recognized beauty of our International Federation bureau!"
Wen Lan shot him a chilly glance. "Cut the damn flattery and pull up the video of my little tigress for me!"
"Right away, sir!" The subordinate nodded quickly and pulled up a surveillance feed on the holographic screen.
On the screen, a small, adorably goofy-looking lizard with short hair was wearing a cool camouflage military uniform, doing a mission on a training field with a group of adult males.
Whoever could get the chicken leg in the center of the field would win.
The little lizard’s tail was extremely long, long enough to be used as a whip.
The moment she turned, her little face was revealed to be a startlingly beautiful spitting image of Wen Lan.
The little one didn’t hold back in the slightest, whipping the group of males until they squealed and yelped.
Of the several hundred people on the field, not a single one could defeat the ferocious little lizard.
Wen Lan clutched his heart. "My daughter is so cute."
The subordinate next to him was utterly speechless.
Everyone in the bureau knew about Wen Lan’s twin daughters.
The older sister, the little lizard, was so belligerent and skilled at fighting she was practically a terrorist, and she could wreck a house better than a husky.
Their boss had gotten too lazy to take her to the boxing gym every day, so he’d just tossed her into the army to train for fun. The situation had quickly spiraled out of control. The men under him got beaten up daily, losing all face and dignity.
The younger sister, a little Dutch Rabbit, was obedient and adorable; everyone who saw her wanted to pet her. But her older sister, the little lizard, was so vicious that anyone who dared get near her sister would have their legs broken.
So, they could only stare with longing from a distance, satisfying their craving from afar.
Some males couldn’t produce a single female descendant for eight generations.
Meanwhile, their young boss had easily gotten a pair of twins, yet he was always in the bureau, complaining about nothing, saying how delicate his daughters were and how hard it was to raise kids.
If he wasn’t the boss, they all would have beaten him to a pulp long ago!
