My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 693 - 233 True Iron-eating Beast_3

"Xixi..." Du Xixi clearly intended to join the fight. Ke Lian lowered his voice, trying to persuade Du Xixi to return, but she easily blocked him with a simple statement, "You know my skills."

Ke Lian was at a loss for words. Du Xixi was personally trained by him, a genius with an S-Class Constitution, her skills surpassing the officers present. Yet, he still worried about Du Xixi, until he saw her casually fiddling with a kitchen knife. The ordinary knife gleamed in the sunlight, its blade flashing incessantly, looking as eager as its owner.

Ke Lian: ...

Ke Lian suddenly recalled Du Xixi’s unflinching demeanor when slaughtering a pig—the kitchen knife just grazed the pig a few times, and Du Xixi had already dismembered it into large pieces. The bloody scene with non-stop bleeding made Ke Lian’s brows twitch to this day.

Forget it, forget it. Ke Lian comforted himself, signaling 2569 to move closer to Du Xixi. He almost forgot that his wife was no pampered flower from a greenhouse. When she was vicious, she could be wilder than a warrior blinded by battle fervor on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Ke Lian couldn’t help but shake his head. He really was curious, wondering what kind of existence chefs on Blue Star comprised. Clearly, Du Xixi looked delicate and weak, but once she held a kitchen knife, he even thought a mammoth wasn’t her match.

While Ke Lian’s mind wandered, the sounds made by those two unknown creatures drew near. Everyone held their breath, tightly watching in that direction.

One second, two seconds, three seconds! Du Xixi silently counted to three in her mind. A massive paw parted the bush, making Du Xixi’s heart skip a beat. This paw looked familiar, and when its owner and another creature emerged, everyone inhaled sharply in disbelief.

spun its wheels, constantly scanning the bodies of the two familiar creatures in front, then a line of text appeared on the electronic screen: "According to scan, vital signs are normal, consistent with Iron-eating Beasts! Consistent with Iron-eating Beasts!"

"These are Iron-eating Beasts, right?" Mo Feng stood beside Du Xixi, looking at the two giant black and white lumps, and asked Du Xixi in disbelief, "So there are still Iron-eating Beasts in this world!"

"They should just be animals, different from Your Majesty the Iron-eating Beast." The Iron-eating Beasts like Your Majesty were more like humans in disguise, behaving and speaking quite similarly to humans, while these two Iron-eating Beasts were full of beastly nature, clearly lacking human-like thought processes.

This could be a good thing since they encountered somewhat familiar creatures in a strange world, but it was also bad news—a giant Iron-eating Beast without cognitive abilities, wielding a pair of thick, sharp claws, is extremely lethal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The hearts of Du Xixi and others were up, then down, and then up again, always restless. They all held their breath, ready to retaliate and protect themselves at any moment. However, the two Iron-eating Beasts just stood there without attacking, watching Du Xixi and the others curiously, occasionally growling as if trying to communicate.

Du Xixi felt a little stiff. Unsure if it was just her imagination, she thought the Iron-eating Beasts’ gaze seemed to focus more on her rather than the entire group!

She was particularly sensitive in this regard. The Iron-eating Beasts’ eyes lingered unusually on her, especially her hands, where the gaze paused more than anywhere else.

Why is this? Du Xixi didn’t know the reason, but she felt she wasn’t mistaken. Swallowing nervously, she tentatively took a small step towards Ke Lian.

Sure enough, when the two Iron-eating Beasts turned to look, their gaze followed her movement—so apparent that not only did Du Xixi notice, but everyone else could see something was off just by watching.

"This..." Du Xixi was a bit helpless. She couldn’t figure out why she attracted such attention from the Iron-eating Beasts. She never wore perfume, used colorless and odorless toiletries, and her camouflage sportswear was the same as Ke Lian and the others’ military uniform. Du Xixi truly couldn’t pinpoint the reason for the Iron-eating Beasts’ extra focus on her.

Could it be that these Iron-eating Beasts had "gender discrimination"? Recognizing her as female, thus being particularly "fond" of her?

Du Xixi: Thanks for the invitation, this "fondness" is something I really can’t bear!

Ke Lian’s brows furrowed tightly. Without needing him to say anything, everyone had already gathered around, shielding Du Xixi tightly from the Iron-eating Beasts’ gaze. But this act of protecting Du Xixi seemed to anger the Iron-eating Beasts, and growls of fury erupted from their throats.

Everyone’s hearts trembled more intensely. Yet, despite being scared, no one exposed Du Xixi, who was shielded in the center.
