Mina, a orc, a cat-tribe orc, had been hungry for three days.
Since being captured and thrown into the dungeon a day ago, she knew what fate awaited her: either death or being toyed with by humans. And today, the moment of her destiny had arrived.
She was filled with reluctance. She shouldn't have trusted those hypocritical humans, actually believing they would give her food. She never expected that a noble cat-tribe warrior like herself would be captured by humans, even though she had been hungry for two days and had little strength to fight.
She was sold to a disgusting noble for the price of a silver coin and then confined in this sour, cold, and damp dungeon.
Today, on the third day, she heard the voice of a human again.
She struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall, moving so slowly that she seemed to fall at any moment. But eventually, she stood up completely and staggered from the corner to the human's presence.
In front of her appeared a person holding a tool that emitted a strong light. She strained to widen her eyes and held her head high, refusing to yield to the human.
Although the human before her was quite handsome and young, with a faint, refreshing fragrance that lacked the sweaty odor of other humans.
Such a human, three days ago, she could have defeated ten of them, but now she struggled even to stand. The figure before her seemed to double, no, quadruple...
Bang!!!
Liu Feng's mouth twitched as he looked at the cat-eared girl who had passed out in the dungeon. He sighed and smashed the ancient lock again, deciding to bring some new locks next time.
He approached the cat-eared girl and, after checking, found that she was still alive. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his space and fed her a little, then carried her out of the dungeon...
.............
Warmth, that was the only feeling Mina had now. It was much better than that cold, damp dungeon, feeling like being in her mother's embrace.
Huh? Wait, the dungeon?
Mina suddenly opened her eyes to a stranger's ceiling. She tried to get up but found herself weak and powerless, her eyes sharply scanning the surroundings.
This was a strange room. She was lying on a bed, covered by a soft quilt that was really warm. No... wait...
Mina abruptly pulled off the quilt and glanced inside. It was still the same set of clothes. She patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"Creak..."
The sound of the door opening immediately put Mina on alert.
Liu Feng came in with a tray of congee, smiling at the cat-eared girl and saying, "Awake?"
"Mm!" Mina nodded seriously. Her tense face and constantly trembling ears indicated her nervousness.
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, surprised that she responded to him, as he had thought she wouldn't.
"Come and eat something. You probably haven't eaten for days," Liu Feng said, placing the congee on the table.
"I won't..." Mina started to refuse, but her stomach growled.
"Growl."
This instantly sound made Mina blush. She shouted in her heart, "A great cat-tribe warrior won't accept charity from humans."
Moreover, those hypocritical humans would surely put something in the food to drug her. Even though this one didn't have that disgusting fishy smell, he would still play tricks.
"Not eating?" Liu Feng looked at the cat-eared girl oddly, shrugged, picked up one of the bowls, and started eating. The inviting congee emitted a pure rice aroma.
"No..."
"Growl."
Her stomach growled again, making Mina's face even redder, and her upright cat ears flattened.
"Really not eating?" Liu Feng asked, scooping white congee into his mouth, his eyes sparkling with amusement. This cat-eared girl was even shy.
"Really, no..."
"Growl."
The sound of her hungry stomach growled again. Saliva filled Mina's mouth as she stared intently at the congee in Liu Feng's bowl.
Liu Feng shook his head, picked up the congee, walked over to the cat-eared girl, and handed her the bowl, smiling, "Eat. In this life, you can have nothing, but you can't go hungry."
"Growl."
Before Mina could refuse, her stomach growled again.
The next moment, a spoonful of white congee was stuffed into Mina's mouth, making her eyes widen and her light blue eyes tremble.
Refined rice congee, she tasted it. She had forgotten how many years it had been since she last ate congee made from refined rice, and now she was eating it here...
Liu Feng looked at the stunned cat-eared girl, silently smiled, and quietly left.
When Mina reacted, she scanned the room but didn't see that handsome human. She swallowed, hugged the big bowl, and started eating the white congee vigorously.
"Delicious, so delicious..."
Mina spooned the congee into her mouth one after another. Her light blue eyes misted up. The sensation on her tongue and the mouthful of rice aroma made her indulge in it.
She remembered that this refined rice congee was something only the wealthy nobles of humans could afford. She had only eaten it once before, by accident, and instantly fell in love with it.
In a few bites, Mina finished the bowl of congee. She turned her head to stare at the congee on the table, sneaked a glance at the door, then at the empty bowl in her hand, and her heart struggled.
"I've already eaten one bowl. Why not eat another?"
"No, just because this bowl is fine doesn't mean the next one will be. Have you forgotten how humans deceived you?"
Mina felt like there was an angelic Mina and a demonic Mina arguing in her head, fighting over eating just one more bowl of congee.
"Ridiculous. If they wanted to harm Mina, they would have done it already..."
Ultimately, the demonic Mina won...
