StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 96 [096] Gradually Sinking...

"It's alright, you are our honored guests, it's just some ingredients."

"With me here, just wash it clean again and marinate it again."

Not wanting the ingredients to go to waste, Mu Xingyue rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen. She and the beastmen began washing the ingredients that were placed in a basin and then reapplied the marinade.

Then, she skillfully sliced ​​the mutton and beef, marinated them for a while, and then skewered the meat with fine steel skewers.

Lei Ting and his men were stunned; their eyes simply couldn't keep up with the sight.

I never imagined that someone could make such delicious food so visually appealing.

Xia Lanling, Pei Yi, and the other beastmen were busy working around Mu Xingyue.

The lights shone on them, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.

Each person's movements were so skillful and elegant, and their coordination with each other was perfect.

Xia Lanling held her tools, focusing intently on processing the materials in her hands.

Pei Yi stood to the side, occasionally handing over the necessary items and assisting the Holy Mother in preparing the ingredients.

Xia Lanling and the Holy Mother worked together seamlessly, quickly reprocessing the ingredients they had declared unsuccessful.

The other animal handlers also had clear divisions of labor, some carrying heavy objects, others meticulously carving details, and everything seemed to be in an orderly manner.

Mu Xingyue was surrounded by stars, sitting in the center. Her beautiful face was filled with a happy smile, her bright eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, and she exuded a unique charm with her calm and composed demeanor.

With everyone working together, every action and every exchange was filled with warmth and harmony.

The scene was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. Even Lei Ting and the others, who were not far away, couldn't help but feel a sense of envy when they saw it.

They gazed quietly at the heartwarming scene in the kitchen, feeling an overwhelming sense of love permeating the space, as if just a glance was enough to feel that warmth.

However, at this moment, Thunder was filled with resentment.

He didn't know when it started, but he had become deeply attracted to that beautiful woman, Mu Xingyue.

Her every smile, every gesture, was like a spell, etched into his heart.

He watched helplessly as she and her beastly husbands built their happy home together, while he could only observe from afar as a bystander. This feeling caused him immense pain.

His once peaceful heart gradually sank into despair without him even realizing it...

Lu Zhan, Tantai Huang, Lian Chengjin, and Helian Cheng, who were standing to the side, also had very complicated feelings, just like Lei Ting. They couldn't bring themselves to give up the Holy Mother right now.

Over the years, the Holy Mother is the first and only being to have captivated their hearts and minds.

The Holy Mother herself is so powerful that she is definitely the greatest help to the Beastman.

The current strength of Xia Lanling, Pei Yi, Feng Jue, and other beast husbands who have successfully paired with the Holy Female has increased so rapidly that even they cannot keep up.

They were convinced that all of this was related to the Virgin Mary, but for the Virgin Mary's safety, they did not tell anyone other than themselves.

Just as Mu Xingyue and her family were enjoying a lively and festive time, she and her beast husbands were preparing delicious food.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Qingluan was being punished by her mother by being forced to kneel. This was because one of her dishes didn't look appetizing, so her mother punished her by not letting her eat dinner and locking her in a dark room to kneel as punishment.

The surroundings seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate this thick inky blackness. Dongfang Qingluan found herself in this suffocating darkness, and fear surged into her heart like a tide, drowning her in the abyss of despair.

Her petite body was curled up in the cold corner, her hands tightly wrapped around her head, as if trying to protect her already broken heart.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, soaking her clothes and cheeks.

That silent weeping was more heartbreaking than any loud wailing.

She bit her lip tightly, afraid of making even the slightest sound.

Because she knew that if her mother heard her crying, she would face even crueler torment and punishment.

She couldn't understand it at all. Her mother always treated her with great care and affection in front of her father, and the deep love in her eyes never made her doubt it.

However, everything changes whenever Father is too busy with official duties to come home.

At that time, her mother seemed to have become a completely different person, cold-hearted, ruthless, and fierce.

She would always find all sorts of excuses to make things difficult for Dongfang Qingluan, and sometimes even just because of her normal breathing, it would become a reason for her mother to fly into a rage.

This sudden change left the young Dongfang Qingluan feeling incredibly confused and pained. She didn't know what she had done wrong or why she had to suffer such heartless treatment from her mother.

When Dongfang Qingluan could no longer endure the various evil deeds inflicted upon her by her cruel mother, her anger and grievances finally erupted like a volcano.

She decided to break her silence and tell her beloved father the truth about everything.

However, just as she was about to take this crucial step, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, her mother knelt down before her, tears streaming down her face, her hands tightly gripping Dongfang Qingluan's skirt. Sobbing, she pleaded, "Qingluan, my good daughter, please, please don't tell your father about these things."

"If you tell your father, your mother will really die!"

The mournful cries echoed in the room, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

Faced with this situation, Dongfang Qingluan's heart softened instantly.

Looking at her mother, whose face was streaked with tears and who looked haggard, she was filled with conflict and struggle.

On the one hand, the pain she had suffered was still vivid in her mind, making her want to expose her mother's true colors immediately.

On the other hand, her mother's tears and pleas for mercy were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the softest part of her heart.

It was always the same. Whenever Dongfang Qingluan made up her mind to tell the truth, her mother would always stop her in this way.

She was always moved by her mother's tears and pleas, and in the end, she would silently shed tears and then helplessly compromise time and time again.

She couldn't bear to see her beloved father live an unhappy life because of this.

After all, in this world, her father was the only one who consistently loved and cared for her.

When Dongfang Yinxiao returned home exhausted after a long day, he didn't see his daughter and wife waiting for him in the living room; only his wife was there.

A warmth filled his heart, and he quickly stepped forward, affectionately embracing Qu Wan'er's delicate body, his brows furrowing slightly: "Wan'er, where is Luan'er? She wouldn't be asleep so early, would she?"
