Divine King of Honour-Chapter 516: Not Convinced

Xu Nian heard what Hua Gesang said and a bitter smile immediately appeared on his face.

He hadn't wanted to stir up trouble, but unexpectedly, a subconscious expression of his had brought about trouble.

Looking at Adam's expression, it seemed he was also beginning to feel dissatisfied with him.

There were still several days before they could walk out of the desert, and Xu Nian really didn't want to actually provoke Adam's displeasure.

"Your grilled meat does taste really good, but it's still a bit short of perfection. First of all, the heat control is inadequate, the timing of adding the seasoning is off, and the texture of the meat isn't even throughout, so your grilling technique could use some improvement," Xu Nian said to Hua Gesang.

Upon hearing this, Hua Gesang completely blew up.

Damn it.

Was this her servant?

He must be her lord!

She, a master, grilled meat for him to eat, and he actually had a heap of problems with it.

How could this not anger Hua Gesang?

Adam, on the other hand, started laughing, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

He didn't know this kid was so straightforward as to criticize Hua Gesang's grilling skills.

He knew Hua Gesang was the caravan's universally recognized top grilling expert.

"You say my grilling skills are no good. Could it be your grilling is better than mine?" Hua Gesang said with an unconvinced face.

The surrounding caravan members, upon hearing the commotion, also gathered around.

Each of them spoke out for Hua Gesang.

They had all tasted Hua Gesang's grilled meat; it was ten times better than theirs.

They had always wanted to eat Hua Gesang's grilled meat, and now that this kid had, he was still nitpicking.

It really made them feel resentful.

Xu Nian saw that he had aroused public anger but did not show a hint of panic on his face.

Everything was within his expectations.

"I do have some grilling skills. I used to grill often, and people in my village always said I was good at it," Xu Nian said.

"Pfft, your village," Hua Gesang said condescendingly.

In her view, just an ordinary mortal, how could he possibly have as strong an understanding of flame and temperature as she did?

No matter how talented he was, how good could he really be?

"Xu Nian, since you say you're good at grilling, why not show us what you've got?" Adam spoke up with interest, smiling.

For some reason, he always felt this kid had a kind of temperament others didn't possess.

Just now, faced with so many people's doubts, he could still remain unchanged in expression.

This sort of carefree demeanor, even he couldn't achieve.

So he was quite eager to see if this kid really had skills, or if he was just boasting.

"Dad, you're actually helping him. Be careful, or I'll never grill for you again," Hua Gesang saw her father not supporting her, but instead taking Xu Nian's side, and was immediately somewhat annoyed.

"Ge Sang, let him try. If he truly has the skill, that's fine. If it's just boasting, Dad will punish him for you," Adam said.

"Fine, if his grilling isn't as good as mine, I'll tie him to the back of a Big-footed Camel and have him sand-surf for a day," Hua Gesang said.

The so-called sand-surfing was sliding through the desert using tools.

And what Hua Gesang was talking about was probably dragging Xu Nian in the sand behind a Big-footed Camel.

A normal person dragged through the desert for a day would end up skinned and bruised.

"Ge Sang, isn't that a bit too cruel? He's just an ordinary person, and he's already injured," Adam frowned and said.

"Hmph, didn't he say he knew how to grill? What's there to fear about punishment? In any case, he must pay the price for his words and actions," Hua Gesang insisted.

Hearing her words, Adam had nothing more to say.

"What if my grilling tastes better than yours? Then what?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"If it tastes good, it'll just taste good. What else do you want? Besides, how could you possibly grill better than me?" Hua Gesang said with a look of scorn.

"If my grilled meat tastes better than yours, then how about you ride a Big-footed Camel with me?" Xu Nian suggested with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the people around them showed expressions of surprise.

Hua Gesang's eyes widened with anger.

Xu Nian actually wanted to take advantage of her?

Was this kid's courage made of leopard's gall?

Adam was also stunned; he had not expected Xu Nian to brazenly make such a condition in front of him.

"Fine, if your roast isn't as delicious as mine, I will not only make you sand-surf for a day, but I will also chop off your hands and gouge out your eyes," Hua Gesang angrily declared.

Xu Nian merely smiled gently.

He had made this request for the very purpose of agitating Hua Gesang, to make her admit defeat.

As for this girl, Xu Nian really didn't have many thoughts about her.

Although her looks and figure could be considered top-notch, Xu Nian truly had no interest in her.

Xu Nian did not pay any more attention to Hua Gesang but directly grabbed a raw leg of meat next to him and started roasting it.

One could see that he held the roast in his left hand, while his right hand wielded a dagger.

The dagger flickered swiftly over the meat.

The slices opened up, allowing the heat to penetrate deep inside the meat.

Soon, a rich aroma began to waft through the air.

"How can it smell so good; I've never smelled such delicious roast meat before," the people around them all revealed looks of surprise.

Looking at the roast meat in Xu Nian's hands, they showed a greedy desire on their faces.

"Hmph, what use is a good smell if it doesn't taste good," Hua Gesang said unconvinced.

Xu Nian smiled faintly, sprinkled some seasoning on the meat, and then announced the task complete.

"I'll have a taste!"

Adam said with a smile.

Xu Nian cut off a piece from the roast.

Adam first sniffed it, then, with a face full of bliss, popped the roast meat into his mouth.

Once the meat entered his mouth, Adam's expression changed.

His eyes bulged out roundly.

Everyone around him stared at Adam intently.

They were all eager to know the taste of the roast meat.

Hua Gesang also looked puzzled, not understanding her father's expression.

"Quick, give me another piece!" Adam stuffed the roast meat into his mouth frantically and directly spoke to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled slightly and cut Adam another piece.

Adam instantly devoured it ravenously, his face still full of ecstasy.

"Is it really that delicious? Let me have a taste," someone in the caravan said.

She stepped forward and cut off a piece.

"It's really... too delicious. You all must try it; this is definitely the most delicious roast meat I've ever eaten, no, the most delicious treat," said the merchant excitedly.

Hearing this, people around frantically rushed forward.

Xu Nian distributed pieces to them, one by one.

After everyone had a taste, their faces were filled with bliss.

Seeing this, Hua Gesang's face turned ashen.

"Hmph, I can't believe it's really that good," Hua Gesang scoffed coldly.

She strode forward, snatched the roast meat from Xu Nian's hand, and took a bite.

At the first bite,

Hua Gesang was stunned.

"How... How can it be so delicious?" Hua Gesang muttered to herself.

Looking at the roast in her hand, she started to take big bites.

"Quick, Ge Sang, save me a bite," Adam shouted from the side.

Xu Nian, however, crossed his arms over his chest, watching everyone scramble for that piece of roast meat, a teasing smile on his face.
