The live broadcast was in full swing.
Dai Xiaomei, holding Ao Yuan, entered the kitchen. She clumsily chopped the ingredients into pieces.
Then, she added oil to the pan, poured in the ingredients, and stir-fried them over high heat.
Her movements were fervent.
"Guys, take a good look! I'll show you what a culinary god is in a bit!"
While stir-frying, Dai Xiaomei couldn't resist boasting to the viewers in the live stream.
Ao Yuan looked at Dai Xiaomei with surprise in his eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected Dai Xiaomei to know how to cook.
The viewers in the live stream also looked surprised that Dai Xiaomei could cook.
"I've watched this old woman for years, and I never expected this."
"Hahaha, even if I don't know Dai Xiaomei's cooking skills, her confidence alone is enough to make me believe it'll be tastier than what the National Guardian Beast cooks."
"Isn't that normal? No matter how foolish the old woman is, she must know how to add seasonings, right?"
"Holy crap, holy crap, is this what cooking looks like? I've learned something new."
The live broadcast was ongoing.
However, less than a minute after putting in the ingredients, Dai Xiaomei's facade began to crumble.
"Oh no, why is it sticking to the pan so quickly?"
"What seasoning should I add now?"
"Should I add water now?"
As Dai Xiaomei let out a few gasps, the faces of the viewers in the live stream froze.
Alright, they took back what they just said.
It seemed that what Dai Xiaomei was making might not even be as good as what Ao Yuan cooked.
Finally, after a moment of waiting and some coaxing, Dai Xiaomei managed to make a plate of stir-fried chicken.
However, the appearance was truly unbearable, burnt black.
If they didn't know it was chicken, no one would have recognized it as such.
It had to be said that being able to turn chicken into this state was also a skill.
"Guys, let me tell you," Dai Xiaomei said as she brought the dish down, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "Don't think this dish doesn't look good."
"But I guarantee that the taste will meet Little Dragon's requirements."
After she finished speaking, the comments section erupted in mockery.
"Old woman, you shouldn't go into the kitchen anymore."
"If I hadn't watched the live stream just now, I would have fallen for your tricks."
"Want to bet? I think the National Guardian Beast definitely won't like it."
...
"Then you just watch!" Dai Xiaomei's expression stiffened. Pouting, she brought the dish to Ao Yuan and said softly, "Little Dragon, come to big sister's arms, big sister will feed you."
Ao Yuan glanced at the dark plate of food and then at Dai Xiaomei's gentle smile.
His body trembled, and a scene immediately flashed in his mind.
"Come... Da Lang, it's time for your medicine."
The thought of this scene sent a shiver down Ao Yuan's spine.
He quickly turned his head away, giving off a "don't touch me" expression.
"Pfft, guys, I'm dying of laughter."
"Is the old woman being rejected by the National Guardian Beast?"
"I just arrived, is this a bickering couple?"
"Um..." Glancing at the comments, seeing that they were all mocking her, Dai Xiaomei's face flushed red, and she tried to defend herself, "Little Dragon is probably full."
"Yes, he's full, that's why he doesn't..."
Before Dai Xiaomei could finish speaking, Ao Yuan was already using his claws to pick up a piece of meat and roast it again with his breath.
Dai Xiaomei's face froze, and the words stuck in her throat.
The viewers in the live stream, seeing this scene, covered their stomachs and burst into laughter.
"So he doesn't what? Old woman?"
"Old woman, does your face hurt?"
"You demon, what other explanation do you have?"
"Hahaha, look at the old woman, she's about to break down."
Looking at the comments, Dai Xiaomei knew she was in the wrong but still wanted to prove herself. "I have confidence in my cooking skills."
"You guys just watch!"
Saying this, Dai Xiaomei picked up a piece of the black meat, closed her eyes, and took a bite.
*Gag*
As soon as it touched her tongue, Dai Xiaomei couldn't help but spit it out.
What on earth was this!
It was completely inedible.
Ao Yuan glanced indifferently at Dai Xiaomei, then subtly distanced himself from her.
"Little Dragon, what do you mean by that?" Dai Xiaomei gritted her teeth.
Ao Yuan ignored her, simply glanced at the plate of food, and then tilted his head back slightly.
It was as if he was saying, 'Don't you already know what I mean?'
"Dai Xiaomei!"
Just as Dai Xiaomei was about to get angry, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
This distinctive voice instantly made many viewers immersed in the online world know who had arrived.
At this moment, a beautiful girl with fair skin, wearing a short skirt and a white t-shirt, walked in from outside.
"Mozi!"
Upon seeing the person, Dai Xiaomei immediately went to greet her.
Ao Yuan also stopped what he was doing and looked down.
It had to be said that Mozi, having debuted as a member of a girl group, was quite good-looking.
At least, she was to Ao Yuan's taste. Of course, this wasn't to say Mozi was prettier than Dai Xiaomei.
Rather, Ao Yuan felt that the 'pillows' Mozi could provide were far better and softer than Dai Xiaomei's.
This alone was enough to crush Dai Xiaomei in Ao Yuan's eyes.
"Dai Xiaomei, is this Little Dragon?" Mozi, after exchanging pleasantries with Dai Xiaomei, was immediately captivated by Ao Yuan.
"Yes," Dai Xiaomei said with a smile. "He's the one I found on the street and hatched after a month."
"Little Dragon, hello," Mozi said with a smile after hearing this, then squatted down in front of Ao Yuan and smiled charmingly.
"Ao~"
Ao Yuan looked up at Mozi and extended his front claw towards her.
"Oh ho!"
Mozi was startled. Looking at the adorable Ao Yuan, she felt her heart being captured.
"Little Dragon, can I hold you?" Mozi asked cautiously.
"Ao~"
Ao Yuan naturally granted Mozi's small request. He climbed into her arms, rested his head on the soft 'pillows,' and sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from Mozi. Ao Yuan was instantly captivated.
This was completely different from being held by Dai Xiaomei.
It was like everyone wanted to cross mountains and rivers; no one would choose to cross a plain.
"This... Mozi, Little Dragon seems to like you a lot."
Dai Xiaomei, thinking of Ao Yuan struggling in her arms, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
She honestly felt she wasn't inferior to Mozi in any way.
Even though her chest wasn't as large as Mozi's, they both had their own unique charms.
"Perhaps he's close to me because he likes my scent?" Mozi hesitated for a moment.
"Little Dragon, come here quickly," Dai Xiaomei said, unwilling to admit defeat.
To her surprise, Ao Yuan didn't even acknowledge her, instead rubbing affectionately against Mozi.
He looked incredibly happy.
"Hahaha, who is this person? I want to ask if her name is Socks?"
"Are these two old women fighting over the National Guardian Beast?"
"Hahaha, look at Dai Xiaomei's eyes, it's hilarious."
"I really like this little guy, the National Guardian Beast."
"I have to say, the National Guardian Beast is very much to my liking. I'll be a fan from now on."

...
Looking at the comments, Dai Xiaomei twitched the corner of her mouth, completely at a loss for words.
Finally, she changed the subject and asked, "Mozi, can you cook?"
After saying this, Dai Xiaomei felt a sense of smugness. She and Mozi had been good friends for many years, and she knew full well that Mozi couldn't cook at all.
She was determined to regain her dignity here.
