StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 138 [138] Mouthwatering

Xia Lanling's narrow and sharp eyes flashed with undisguised anger as she glared fiercely at Pei Yi and the others, as if she wanted to tear them to pieces with her gaze.

However, the moment his gaze met Mu Xingyue's, all his fierceness vanished like ice melting away, replaced by an incredibly sweet and doting smile.

He whispered to Mu Xingyue, "My little darling, whatever you want, even the stars and the moon in the sky, as long as I can have it, I will deliver it to you without hesitation and make your every wish come true!"

After saying that, he glanced at Pei Yi and the others with a hint of reproach, and continued, "As for these guys, humph, they only got such benefits because of you, my darling. Otherwise, how could they have gotten such good deals? It's too good for them!"

At this moment, Xia Lanling felt extremely frustrated.

It turned out that he had been secretly hiding those precious treasures, intending to give them to Mu Xingyue as a special surprise after she successfully gave birth to her cub.

Who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere—this guy Pei Yi actually set his sights on those fine wines, and even incited Mu Xingyue's other beast husbands to respond to his proposal.

This infuriated Xia Lanling, who cursed these tactless fellows inwardly, feeling that they had gone too far!
But in front of his precious child, he would never let him down. If the fine wine was gone, he could simply order someone to store more.

But if the little one gets angry or unhappy, then he/she will be in big trouble.

Mu Xingyue tried hard to suppress her laughter, but her crescent-shaped eyes had already revealed her inner joy.

She nodded cheerfully and said in a clear voice, "Ah Ling, they want to have a drink together, that's great news!"

After saying that, he winked mischievously.

Immediately afterwards, as if suddenly remembering something, Mu Xingyue looked at Xia Lanling expectantly and said in a sweet voice, "To be honest, even I am a little craving a drink right now."

As soon as she spoke, she seemed to realize something and quickly turned to look at Huo Yunting, her eyes filled with a hint of caution and inquiry. She asked softly, "Ah Ting, um... I'm pregnant now, so can I have a little bit of alcohol?"

Just then, as if the mere mention of the word "alcohol" caused Mu Xingyue's mouth to automatically produce saliva, she couldn't help but swallow, and even felt that the tempting wine was about to flow down from the corner of her mouth.

She herself found it strange. She had never had such a strong urge to drink before. Why did she become so impatient and eager to drink as soon as someone suggested it today?
Huo Yunting stared in astonishment at his beloved, charming little female before him. His deep, pool-like eyes flickered with surprise: "Yue'er, normally, you should never touch this wine."

However, when he saw the little female's greedy expression, he couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.

"However, seeing how greedy you are, if you can't even taste a sip of wine, it might seriously affect your mood, and that wouldn't be good."

Huo Yunting sighed softly, then said, "How about this, Yue'er, when you drink later, try to control your intake a little bit, okay?"

Because he knew all too well that when someone longed for a certain food or drink but couldn't have it, the feeling of being torn apart and unable to get it was worse than death.

Therefore, Huo Yunting really couldn't bear to treat his beloved little female so cruelly, after all, she was the precious darling of their whole family, cherished and protected in the palm of their hands!

Presumably, the other beastmen wouldn't have any objections to this either.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's settled then, Ah Ting!"

Mu Xingyue said with a face full of joy, her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkling with excitement. "However, if anything else happens to my body, hehe, anyway, with you here, I should be fine."

She winked playfully at Huo Yunting, secretly relieved.

Heaven knows how worried she was that Huo Yunting would forbid her from drinking alcohol without any mercy!
If that were the case, it would feel like the end of the world to her, who was really craving a drink at that moment. It would definitely leave her with an immense and irreparable regret in her life.

After all, the taste of this fine wine is irresistible.

However, although Mu Xingyue appeared to be in high spirits, she actually harbored a faint worry deep down.

Because she is currently pregnant with two adorable babies, and two little lives are slowly growing inside her.

As a mother, she naturally wanted to give her baby the best care and attention, so she was somewhat conflicted and uneasy about drinking alcohol.

Fortunately, Huo Yunting was by her side. He always gave her a sense of security, as if all problems could be solved as long as he was there.

Xia Lanling trembled with rage, feeling a surge of anger rush from the soles of her feet to her head, as if it were about to set the whole world ablaze.

His deep eyes were now wide with rage, staring intently at Huo Yunting in front of him. His gaze was so intense it seemed to spit fire. If looks could kill, Huo Yunting would have been torn to pieces long ago!
He clenched his teeth, his cheeks puffed out slightly from the exertion, looking like an enraged lion ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing this, Mu Xingyue felt a sense of foreboding and quickly reached out to gently place her hand on Xia Lanling's shoulder, trying to calm him down.

“Ah Ling, this really can’t be blamed on Ah Ting. I forced him to do it.”

Mu Xingyue looked guilty and stared straight at Xia Lanling as she spoke.

However, Xia Lanling was not listening to any of this. He gently pushed Mu Xingyue's hand away and roared, "Baby, don't speak up for him! This isn't over yet!"

Mu Xingyue did not back down because of Xia Lanling's attitude. She took a deep breath and continued to explain, "Ling, listen to me."

"You know I'm pregnant now. After you get pregnant, a woman's tastes become really strange."

"Sometimes I suddenly have a strong craving for a certain food or drink, and if I can't eat or drink it right away, it feels like I'm living a life worse than death!"

"So...that's why I asked Ah Ting if I could drink. It's really not his fault."

After saying this, Mu Xingyue put on a pitiful look and blinked her big eyes at Xia Lanling.

Actually, what she said was somewhat exaggerated, but she just wanted to test how this man who loved her as much as his own life would react to her willful request, and whether he would give in.
