Chapter 126 Going To Hunt Chapter 126 Going To Hunt What was up with her? She was eating like royalty. +10 Free Coins Sometimes Ardenia had a mischievous thought: forget feeding them-if she spat on the ground, these guys would probably scramble over each other just to lick the spot clean. So what if she treated them a little nicer? Leftovers? She could turn scraps into a feast. That was real talent. Joy stuck around when everyone gained something-that was just how the world ran.
Back home, she'd been branded the "unlucky daughter." After she went up the mountain, her parents even dragged her brother along to beg for help. Even family bonds could be that flimsy. In the end, everything bowed to benefit. Ardenia had understood that ages ago. She wanted happiness. A woman shouldn't lock herself away in a glass tower. She'd carved out a world of her own-knowing when to push forward and when to step back. She was unrestrained, fond of wealth and beauty, and still stood tall with a clear conscience. So did she blame Calder? Absolutely not.
She might call out a child in front of others, but with her husband, she saved the tough talks for when the door was closed. And if they took her words to heart, there was no reason to hold old mistakes over them. Calder was overjoyed. Breathing in her scent, he felt like the luckiest merfolk alive. "You're a fairy from the heavens, and I'm the fairy's little puppy." Ardenia ruffled his hair and burst out laughing, carefree and bright. "You can't be a puppy." Calder blinked, bewildered. "How come?" Ardenia only smiled as her mind went elsewhere.
Presently, she crouched down and gathered the tiny pearls scattered across the ground. Calder's ears burned red. Ardenia truly cherished him-she even treated his tears like treasure. So cherished. So blissful. Meanwhile, Ardenia's inner voice was practically singing, These are priceless! The color, the luster, the size- every one of them screams money! She kept collecting them while pulling a delicate little box from her stash. One by one, she placed the 1/3 14:23. Thu, Jan 8 D J Chapter 126 Going To Hunt pearls inside, careful as if they might crack. Calder's heart swelled even more.

He sniffled softly. He wanted to be her puppy-hers alone. 74 +10 Free Coins Once all the pearls were tucked away, Ardenia's spirits soared. A whole box filled to the brim-how could she not be delighted? But she had to hide it. Otherwise, she'd look a little too greedy. She couldn't stop grinning anyway. "Honey, what do you want for lunch?" She loved spoiling her man with food. She could kiss him, hug him, cling to him-what was there not to love? Halden had gone out to the fields. Lunch duty definitely wasn't his responsibility. He was her mate, not a beast of burden.
"I'm fine with anything, so long as you're the one cooking. Whatever you make, I'll love it." Ardenia paused to think. "Alright then. I'll just wing it this time." "Okay. I'll be your assistant." "Good boy." She rose on her toes and gave his soft cheek a light pinch. It was just a tiny squeeze, and his cheek instantly turned rosy. For a split second, her thoughts drifted somewhere darker. If she really went all out on him... what would that even look like? Maybe she'd been too gentle this whole time. She'd never truly, absolutely, completely devoured him.
"It hurts..." Calder's voice dragged out in a long whine. But when he caught the curve of her smile, something seemed to click in his head. His face flushed scarlet as he muttered shyly, "Ardenia... you like it rough, don't you?" "Huh? Rough?" Ardenia didn't catch his meaning right away. Calder's cheeks burned hotter, his voice dipping even lower. "If that's what you want, I don't mind. You don't have to be gentle with me. I heal fast. I can... be yours." Ardenia was at a loss for words. She already knew his thoughts weren't exactly pure. Now they'd gone completely off track.
So he's actually into pain? Out loud, she replied, firm and direct, "I don't like that." 2/3 14:23. Thu, Jan 8 Do Chapter 126 Going To Hunt Well. Maybe one day she'd think differently-who could say? Cooking. Focus on cooking! Food came first. Nothing was allowed to get between her and a meal. Food came first. Nothing was allowed to get between her and a meal. +10 Free Coins She still had plenty of flour stored up. Seeds were set aside, and the rest could stretch into several meals. Since it was still early, she planned to make mushroom chicken stew for lunch, with warm bread on the side.
Dipping bread into rich broth was absolute happiness. Over the past few days, she'd spotted quite a few wild chickens in the back mountain. She'd thought about keeping them, but she couldn't stand the mess they made. So, no thanks. She wouldn't raise them, but she would definitely eat them. "Stop thinking nonsense. Come with me to the mountain. We're having chicken for lunch." Ardenia patted Calder's sturdy chest, sneaked in another quick touch, then cheerfully pulled out a slingshot and tugged him toward the mountain trail. Ardenia wasn't short, but beside Calder, she still looked small.
She held his hand-one leading, one following-as they headed up the path together. He glanced at the tiny slingshot, unsure. Can that little thing really bring anything down? Eh... if it can't, I'll use my power to make those chickens faint on the spot. If Ardenia wanted them, then those birds were done for. The grove behind the mountain was quiet and still. Ardenia pressed a finger to her lips, signaling silence. Standing in place, she tilted her head and listened carefully to the sounds around them. Once she locked onto the direction, she gestured for Calder to toss a stone over. 14:24.
