A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 408: Shock

For the entity, he hasn’t been able to eat something made by the humans. He only eats what is usually present in the forest for him to take. But with the scarcity of everything in the forest for him to eat, he has no choice but to eat food made by the humans. For the others, it is a disgrace and a shame to their kind to consume food that humans have made as it is a sign that they are already submitting to humans. But for him, it doesn’t matter anymore. As long as he can fill up his empty stomach with food, then even if it breaks the custom that his kind believes in, it doesn’t matter as long as he won’t die from hunger as a result.

Since the time he was born, he was taught that the food that humans made are disgusting, vile and something that destroys what makes an ingredient taste good. It is also a sign of disrespect to the nature as they have to put it into fire just for it to be edible even though most things can be eaten as it is. And because of these teachings, his hands shook as he held the bowl given to him by the woman who seemed to be the owner of place he was standing in.

He is getting dizzy and although the smell is enticing, according to what he knows, these should taste disgusting. And so, he grab a spoonful of fried rice and stares at it for a few seconds. He inhaled and exhaled for a bit, trying to calm himself before steeling himself for the revolting taste that he will soon experience.

However, his expectations was immediately betrayed. At first, he thought he was just imagining it, but as he started chewing, the food started to taste much better and tastier. He can tell there are some vegetables included but he likes that there were the familiar taste of eggs in it. What makes it more interesting for him is that he can also taste the meat on the food, though only bits and not big chunks like what he was used to.

"What the? Why is this tasty?!" releasing all his restraints, he began wolfing down the food. The hunger he is feeling is slowly being filled and he couldn’t help but cry in happiness. So this is how it feels to eat something great after not eating anything.

"If you want more, I can give you a bit more if you want. We have plenty to go by."

"I...I can still have more?" he swallows a bit and was surprised by what Elaina said.

"Of course. Make sure to properly chew, otherwise, you might choke if you eat like that. Savor the food, there’s plenty in the wok for everyone and that includes you."

"Thank you! Thank you very much!"

He immediately rid of his doubt after realizing this. It doesn’t matter anymore whether he will be seen as some sort of traitor or anything. He won’t even mind submitting to this woman if it meant being able to eat food like this everyday. All of those words and lessons he was taught back when he was a child is immediately thrown into trash. Forget lying, they straight up cooked up fake information just so they can deter from eating human food. Yes, they might be using food differently, but that exact difference made food more tasty than the usual bland food he eats in the forest.

He only has one regret. And that is not being able to eat the food much earlier than he should have and believing all the lies he was meant to believe.

As for Elaina who was observing the entity before her, she can only smile and continue eating. There were actually more creatures that she have not encountered before and it seems this entity is another one of those creatures that lives deep in the forest. He looks like a regular deer that walks like a human and has some unique clothes that he covers his body with. One thing is for sure, he might look like a monster, but he was a gentle soul that only seeks food.

For the entity, he stopped eating after consuming worth five bowls of fried rice. After he has consumed that much in quick succession, his body is oddly energetic and it seems that his body is being boosted by some unknown power. It was like he has suddenly entered a berserk state...but he didn’t berserk and went wild. He is still sane, but his power has increased quite a lot that he is a bit confused on what is happening.

As he sat there resting after his meal, that’s when the entity finally got a good look around his surroundings. He was so desperate for food back then that he literally not care about his surroundings at all until the end of his meal. Now that he is done eating, he looked around and noticed a few things that he wasn’t expecting.

First, monsters are naturally coexisting around humans. He recognize the Hencluckle grazing around the place, and he was quite sure that these chicken-like monsters should be calling monsters left and right with their crows of distress once they saw humans nearby but for them to be around freely grazing and acting like a regular livestock, he wasn’t even expecting that.

Then there’s the bees. He have seen these bees before and although he has no idea what those bees are, he was always steering clear from them as they can fight toe to toe against bears if it means protecting their home and their honey. But here, they are freely flying and collecting nectar from the flowers that was planted and growing on the field.

As he was still not fully grasping everything, he then spotted the fairies flying around the farm like a natural thing. He wasn’t just mistaken earlier, those things that helped the farmer convinced on giving him food was the fairies themselves. He have heard about their extinction back then and he was sure that they have died out, and yet and he is seeing plenty of them around the place that there is no way that they have gone extinct, more like they have only gone to hiding and is happily remains in peace.

He also spotted a few entities that are more similar to fairies but they are much bigger and has no wings. They are currently tending on the farm and seems happy enough. They seemed to be doing it voluntarily instead of being forced to do so, which means they aren’t slaves but just regular workers.

Many things came to him and he is not sure about the situation anymore. Perhaps the farm was nothing to be trifled to begin with.

While he is still digesting everything he has seen so far, he was shocked when he detects a powerful presence not too far from him. His eyes went wide and he couldn’t believe his eyes. He was a hundred percent sure about it as he have felt the presence of this individual before.

"No way...the former Beast Lord...was actually alive?"
