"How do you feel now? Try talking to the little Chimeras again."
The little Chimeras stared at Yan Huan with their wide eyes.
"..."
"Have you eaten?" Yan Huan asked.
"Idiot..." the green Chimera cursed disdainfully.
"?"
"Shh~ Keep it down. Even if you have complaints, hold them in for now. What if this guy becomes our administrator?"
"Him? He looks like his brain isn't working right... I'd be better off managing him." The red Chimera narrowed its eyes.
Listening to their discussion, Feng Jin smiled and said to Yan Huan:
"Hahaha, I told you they were smart. They're just a little naughty sometimes, so don't take it personally."
"And the little Chimeras are very capable, too."
"Hasn't Okhema been rather unsettled lately? Everything's been a mess."
"Thanks to these little ones helping everyone with their work, many problems have been resolved. We should thank them properly."
"Is that so..." Yan Huan stared at the tiny creatures and could not help asking, "Can they be eaten?"
"!!!"
At his words, all the little Chimeras around them held their breath, then looked at one another.
"What does he mean? Is he going to eat us?"
"That's obviously what he means..."
"We work so diligently, only to get eaten in the end?"
"So sad. I don't want to live anymore..."
"Should we kill him?"
"Good idea."
"Oh, oh, no!" Feng Jin hurriedly turned around and explained,
"Huan Bao was asking whether you had appetites, not what you thought he meant."
"Right, Huan Bao? Say something!"
"Uh, yeah. Have you eaten?" Yan Huan scratched his head and returned to the same topic.
"We have," one little Chimera answered.
"With how much work we do every day, it'd be nice if the food could improve," another little Chimera complained.
"Thank you all so much."
