A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 407: An Entity’s Hunger

"Hungry...so hungry..."

In the forest, a creature with two horns resembling a deer antler and a body resembling a deer walking upright, moans in pain as it wanders around the forest. For quite some time, it has been trying to find food but to no avail. He wasn’t sure why there was no food around the forest but ever since one of the Beast Lord Candidates had disappeared, the other creatures and monsters started to haul in loads of those resources and those who were slow in the uptake would end up not finding any food for themselves. And that is the current case for this creature as well.

"Anything, I needed to find something to eat..."

It’s been 20 days since he has last eaten something. He only eats greens and fruits, but he also eats meat. But he prefers to abstain from meat a lot. It’s not like he doesn’t want to eat it or he can’t eat meat, it’s just that he wanted to limit his consumption of it as he would have to hunt for other creatures if he wanted meat and because he doesn’t want to be attacked and wanted to be peaceful, he prefers berries, fruits, and wild vegetables around the forest to eat. He even eats mushrooms and other forageables as long as they can be eaten safely.

But now that he couldn’t find a single thing at all, even a single piece of meat would suffice for his trembling stomach.

As he continued to walk and search for food, an aroma that was unfamiliar to his nose, yet very enticing to the point that the stomach he was trying to suppress the desire to eat started to become out of control. However, the aroma he was smelling the moment he reached that area was so strong that even ignoring it would not work.

"That smell...I can smell it...that’s food...I can’t be wrong about this. It’s food!" freewebnøvel_com

There’s no need to hesitate. When your stomach is already begging to eat something, no one is strong enough to resist it.

He quickly followed the smell. It doesn’t matter where it is coming from, he needed to eat. Even if he needed to beg, he would be eating that day.

Yona who is currently eating with the others turned her head to the direction of the forest. She can detect an approaching entity that is not human. Although the barrier that was erected around the farm repels invaders with hostile intentions or anything that can harm the farm in any way, shape, or form, it doesn’t repel outsiders which is why it allows other people to enter the farm as long as they don’t intend to harm the farm.

The approaching entity just passed through the first barrier she set up. Normally, the first barrier is enough to block anything dangerous approaching but seeing this fast-approaching entity reach the farm, she can tell it wasn’t here to fight or attack anyone. However, she can’t discern why it is running and trying to get close to the farm.

So instead of getting alarmed, she decided to wait and see what this creature intended to do. She will ensure the farm will remain safe and if the approaching entity turns out to be a dangerous individual, she will use all her power to remove it from the farm and possibly dispose of it before it can do any harm.

The entity continues to approach rapidly, breaking through the second barrier. Now that it has passed the second barrier, Yona can use her ability to identify this creature approaching the farm. Focusing on her senses, she scans through the incoming entity to ensure that it isn’t dangerous.

As soon as she scanned the entity, her eyes went wide and before she could even say anything to Elaina, the entity entered the farm and revealed itself to everyone. The boys quickly ready their weapons and even Adelaide and Layla who were eating and were late on detecting the creature, went to battle stance, readying themselves to fight if necessary.

"Lower your weapons," Elaina said as she approached the entity before her.

"M-mom?!" Arthur was a bit confused about why Elaina would say that.

"Don’t worry, it isn’t a dangerous entity."

Elaina might have been taken aback by the entity’s sudden appearance, but she was certain that the entity wasn’t dangerous. However, she still needed to make sure that the entity wasn’t hostile. Yona is already ready to fight and is just waiting for her signal. And before they strike a completely innocent entity, she decides to question it.

"Who are you, and what are you doing on my farm?" Elaina asked, trying to gauge its intention.

Although the entity looks menacing at first, it slowly bowed its head and kneeled on the ground using its legs which look so similar to a deer’s leg.

"Please...give me food...I am starving..."

While the entity is kneeling and pleading, Pixie appears accompanied by the other fairies and approaches Elaina.

"We can vouch that this guy is safe, Miss Elaina. Can you please help him?" Pixie asked.

"Are you sure?" Elaina tilted her head.

"Yes. I don’t usually detect this entity much but they were very common back in the days when fairies like me are still scattered and numerous around the world."

Hearing this, Elaina nodded and handed her a bowl of fried rice that she hadn’t touched just yet.

"If that is the case, how about eating my cooking?"

As soon as the bowl of fried rice enters the field of view of the entity, he also smells the aroma he is following. He cannot be wrong, this food is the one that brought him here. At long last, even though it hasn’t been that long since the last time he has eaten, he can finally fill his stomach before he dies from starvation as a result.

"I humbly accept..."

Tears slowly fell from his eyes as he held the bowl of fried rice in his hands. The spoon on the bowl is something that humans use, but he is also capable of using it himself. He hasn’t had any opportunity to use something like that as it is not necessary for eating food harvested from trees or bushes, but for the first time, he can use this tool for himself.

Scooping a fried rice on the bowl, he put the fried rice on his mouth and started chewing. As soon as he begins chewing food, his eyes start to well up and tears flow out of his eyes as relishes the food in his mouth.

"Never in my life would I be so grateful for the first food I have eaten for a while, especially for a food that tastes so divine...
