After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 15 Bonfire Carnival

When the two returned to the convoy, Mo had already led his men to light a campfire.

"You're back, Xinyao. Come and have a taste. My grilling skills are just as good as my grilled fish."

As Chu Xinyao approached, Mo saw her clearly under the flickering firelight and froze for a moment. A look of amazement flashed in his eyes. Although he had already been deeply impressed by Chu Xinyao's beauty before, she possessed a different kind of captivating charm tonight.

Bathed in the glow of the campfire, Chu Xinyao's cheeks seemed to be gilded with a soft golden light, her eyes sparkling like the brightest star in the night sky. Her slightly damp hair cascaded down her back, emphasizing her delicate features. Her light, damp clothes outlined her graceful figure, and as the firelight flickered, it seemed to paint a captivating picture on her body.

Mo's heart raced involuntarily, and he felt a tightness in his throat, momentarily at a loss for words.

Chu Xinyao suddenly smiled playfully, turned her head, and looked at him. "Is it good? Master Barbecue?"

Her eyes sparkled with mischief, and her slightly teasing words made Mo blush. He stammered, "So...so beautiful, Xinyao. Tonight, you are truly breathtaking."

Chu Xinyao chuckled softly, her laughter clear and melodious, like the tinkling of a mountain spring, making those who heard it smile involuntarily. "Mo, you're so kind, how can you be so good with words?"

Mo stared into her eyes and smiled, saying, "Xinyao, your beauty is like this campfire, warm and bright. It's also like the spring water in a deep pool, making me want to drown in it."

Chu Xinyao gently shook her head, her smile growing even brighter: "Mo, your sweet words are warmer than this campfire. But it's your grilling skills that truly captivate me."

"That would be my honor." Mo smiled smugly, picked up a perfectly grilled skewer of meat, and handed it to Chu Xinyao. "Come on, let my grilled meat completely conquer your stomach!"

Chu Xinyao took the meat skewer, took a small bite, and the delicious juices and perfect cooking time brought a look of surprise to her eyes. "Mo, what will I do if I leave you later!"

[Hey, hey, hey, please don't do that again, or...]

"Then don't leave. Come with me and travel everywhere, eating all the delicious food on the continent." Mo handed over a skewer of meat that was said to be the tenderest meat from the Fat Beast.

Chu Xinyao accepted the suggestion and said, "Hmm, your suggestion is very good," before ending the conversation.

[Don't worry, Sister Ting, I know what I'm doing. Don't let Mo's talkative nature fool you; his face and ears have already given him away. If I really agreed to go with him, he'd probably run away tonight.]

She explained to Long Tingting in her heart, knowing she was worried about her. But she could see right through Mo. Although he appeared carefree on the surface, every little movement and every glance he gave her didn't escape her notice. He was just an innocent young man; wouldn't she easily manipulate him?

Chu Xinyao's lips curled up slightly; dealing with men was one of her strengths.

Long Tingting doesn't have much romantic experience, and her relationships with other men are mostly partnerships. She's not as good as Chu Xinyao at playing these kinds of ambiguous games.

[Okay, you'd better keep things under control, don't let things go wrong.]

[I have plenty of experience like this, don't worry.]

The two sat by the campfire, their shadows elongated and intertwined in the flickering flames.

Mo's gaze softened as he looked at Chu Xinyao, his affectionate eyes making Chu Xinyao's heart flutter. "By the way, where are Xiaohua and her brother?" She turned to look to the side; six cars were parked quietly nearby, and she didn't see anyone else.

Mo picked up a stick and gently poked at the campfire, making the flames burn brighter. "They have big appetites, so I let them go hunting on their own."

How old are they?

She almost blurted out those words, but Chu Xinyao stopped herself in time. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "My tribe is far from here and is a bit different from this place."

Mo looked at her with interest and said, "The Beast God Continent is vast. I've spent six years exploring only a small part of it. Actually, when you asked about the Hidden Insects, I roughly guessed that your tribe was far from here. Every tribe has its own unique culture and traditions. Is there anything special about your tribe?"

[Yes, I didn't give myself away.]

[......]

Chu Xinyao smiled and said, "It's alright. There may be many similar things, but the names are different. However, none of the beastmen in our tribe have your skills. Your roasting is absolutely superb."

She understood the principle that the more she said, the more mistakes she made, so she carefully chose her topics, trying her best to avoid anything that might arouse suspicion.

"And you? You said you spent six years exploring, what interesting things have you seen?"

Just then, the others returned. Xiaohua and her brother came over carrying an animal that looked somewhat like a rabbit. "Sister Xinyao, my brother caught a bouncy beast. Its hide is the softest. After the hot season, I'll make you a little hat. It'll definitely look nice."

Chu Xinyao: "Okay, thank you Xiaohua, and..." She looked at Xiaohua's brother; she didn't even know his name yet.

“His name is Big Tree,” Mo said at this moment. “He is a half-orc brother and sister whom I found in the Minotaur tribe three years ago.”

Half-orcs? What are half-orcs? Chu Xinyao was puzzled, but seeing that Mo didn't explain, she didn't ask any further.

"Big Tree, thank you. You're really amazing to catch such a big bouncy beast." Chu Xinyao smiled and nodded at Big Tree, looking at the bouncy beast in his arms. It did look a lot like a rabbit, but it was much bigger and had a single horn on its head.

Da Shu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a simple smile, "Hehe, it's nothing, Sister Xin Yao. The bouncy meat is also very delicious. I'll have the boss grill some for you later."

Xiao Hua jumped up excitedly: "Sister Xin Yao, you don't know how fast the Bouncy Beast runs! If it weren't for my brother's skill, we really wouldn't have been able to catch it!"

"Sister Xinyao, besides the bouncy beast, I also picked some fruit for you." Xiaohua took out a few green fruits from her bosom.

"Sister Xinyao, have some, it's very sweet. I washed it by the stream." Xiaohua handed the fruit to Chu Xinyao.

Chu Xinyao took the fruit, gently bit into the skin, and a burst of sweet juice immediately filled her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Mmm, it's really sweet, Xiaohua, the fruit you picked is so delicious!"

Xiaohua smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons when she heard the praise: "I'm glad you like it, Sister Xinyao. I always keep an eye out when I go hunting with my brother, and I pick the good fruit when I see it."

Chu Xinyao gently patted Xiaohua's head: "Xiaohua, you and your brother are both amazing. In just a short while, you've found so much food."

"Xinyao, do you want to eat this bouncy beast? I'll grill it for you." In just a short while, the tree had already separated the animal's skin and flesh.

"Oh dear, brother, why did you kill it here? You've made a mess of blood everywhere. Don't get Xin Yao's dress dirty." Xiao Hua gave all the fruit to Chu Xin Yao and helped her brother, Da Shu, take the bouncy beast a little further away to deal with it.

“That beastman Da Shu is just like that, stubborn and inflexible. We used to kill and roast animals on the spot, and he never thought that it would get your clothes dirty. Don’t blame him…” Mo looked at the two drops of blood that had been accidentally splattered on her feet.

“Niu…Big Tree?” Chu Xinyao couldn’t help but laugh. Niu Big Tree, Niu Little Flower, good heavens, who came up with these names?

Her attention wasn't on the stain on her skirt at all; instead, she found the naming conventions of the Beast God Continent quite interesting.

Mo looked at her with some confusion, not quite understanding why she was laughing.

"Cough cough, no, nothing," Chu Xinyao suppressed a laugh, and through the firelight she saw those red eyes. Could this human-beast form be a rabbit? Just like that bouncy beast, it must be super cute!

"Mo, you still haven't told me? Six years, you must have traveled to many places. What interesting things happened?" Chu Xinyao looked at Mo, her bright eyes full of curiosity.

“There are too many. Do you know why so many male orcs go missing from the Spider Tribe every year? I happened to see it when I went there four years ago…”
