Chapter 297 - Lin Mu's Condition
Hei Wen soon collected her wits and composed herself. She immediately thought of the possibilities that arose from Lin Mu’s question. Even if he had asked for beast meat, it still depended on the type that he would ask for.
For example, if Lin Mu asked for just normal beast meat, then it was no problem even if he asked for ten years’ worth of it, not to mention just a year. But if it was something like nascent soul realm beast meant, then it would be a problem coming up with even a single beast.
"Umm, what kind of beast meat do you want though?" Hei Wen asked.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"Optimally I would like spirit beast meat, but if it is just normal beasts that would work too. But the quantity would need to be increased. I would need four normal beasts in the equivalent of a single spirit beast’s meat." Lin Mu answered.
~Phew~
Hei Wen got relieved after hearing this. They should be able to get plenty of spirit beast meat even if it would not be a year’s worth. They could compensate the reaming with the normal beast meat, anyway.
"That is acceptable, I’ll inform the lord." Hei Wen replied.
"Though... why do you need so much meat?" Hei Wen curiously asked.
"I’ll be going in seclusion for about a year... away from here. So I just want to be prepared." Lin Mu answered.
He had already discussed this with Senior Xukong in his mind, thus knew what to say if he was asked this.
"A year of seclusion? When?" Hei Wen asked, feeling a bit worried.
His guess turned out to be true as the meat that Little shrubby was cooking was fully charred. There was fire lit on the other meat that was kept to the side as well. Evidently Little shrubby had lost control there, and the fire had spread to the other things.
Still, Lin Mu was not worried about it much. Unlike the rest of the buildings in the courtyard, the kitchen was made fully from stone and brick. The kitchen was also separate from the house, and there was enough gap between the buildings so that the fire could not spread there.
A lot of the courtyards in the Town were made with a similar design in mind as this helped prevent fires from burning down homes.
Lin Mu saw little shrubby panicking and not knowing what to do. While the beast was smart enough to know how to light something, it had still not learned how to put it out. Lin Mu had even put buckets of water nearby so that little shrubby could use them, but the beast seemed to have a dislike of water and refused to go near it unless it was thirsty.
Lin Mu picked up the bucket of water and splashed the water onto the fire, dousing it instantly.
~Sizzle~
The sound of embers dying out and the hot stone sizzling due to the water was heard.
"You really need to get over your dislike of water, little Shrubby." Lin Mu chided,
~Mewo~
The beast acted coy and pretend to be innocent. It rubbed against Lin Mu’s legs and showed its affection while purring lightly.
~Sigh~
Lin Mu petted its head and began to clean the mess that had been made. While doing this, a thought came to his mind.
"Hmm, what will I do with him, when I’m in seclusion?"
