Chapter 172: Division (2)
Even though the Golden-Furred Bee King’s house seemed unusually noisy, I decided to deal with Hwayang first.
I carried him back to my quarters and set him down in the corner.
Since the Golden-Furred Bee King was extremely sensitive to intrusions, I needed to leave Hwayang behind before visiting.
Besides, I had to give him a stern warning.
With his bottomless appetite, if I didn’t put a stop to this now, he’d probably sneak into the kitchen at every meal to steal fire.
“Hwayang, you can’t just go to the kitchen and steal fire, okay? If you do that, other people won’t be able to eat. And eating toad flames every day isn’t good for your health.”
- Bii!
The moment I scolded him, his big, round eyes widened in disbelief, as if to say, What nonsense are you talking about?
I sighed, exasperated at how alert he was only when it came to food.
“I’m not saying this because I don’t want to feed you. I’m saying it because I care. If you keep eating too much, you might get sick. If this keeps up, I’ll only feed you every two days.”
- Biiiii!? Biiiii...
His whole body flinched in horror at first.
