Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 225: The Little Female’s Suspicion
The rejected beastmen all looked at Yuan Lang as if he were some conniving bastard.
’No wonder this guy ignored the big game today and went through all that trouble to catch a Two legged Beast. He must have found out what the little female likes. So devious!’
Ignoring the envious and jealous stares from all around, Yuan Lang led Wu Yue straight to his cooking station.
Seeing only a pot of boiling water on the cooking station, Wu Yue looked at him in confusion. "Where’s the food?"
Yuan Lang chuckled and squatted down, pulling two mud clumps out from within the stove. "Right here."
Wu Yue was internally shocked. ’What the hell? Could this be the legendary beggar’s chicken?’
Her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile played on her lips. "Aren’t these just two clumps of mud?"
Having weathered years of court politics to become the National Guardian General, Yuan Lang easily saw the suspicion in the young female’s eyes. He chuckled lightly. "I learned this from a tribe very close to the sea, back when we were out trading for salt.
"Their tribe was too small and couldn’t afford to trade for salt, so they’d wrap their prey in mud soaked with seawater before roasting it. That way, it would have a salty flavor." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He silently applauded his own cleverness. ’I’m a genius.’
Wu Yue was taken aback, her thoughts instantly drawn to his talk of the Sea Side Tribe. "Even tribes living by the sea don’t have salt?"
Yuan Lang smiled and glanced at her. "Because of salt, the competition between Sea Side Tribes is brutal.
"Things like several tribes helping one another, the way we do, simply don’t happen there.
"Fights often break out there—over hunting territories, and over the salt-producing lands by the sea."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue couldn’t help but feel fortunate. ’It seems the Beast God of this world has been pretty good to me after all, not throwing me into that chaotic world by the sea.’
As she was lost in thought, an incredibly alluring aroma drifted to her nose. Wu Yue could feel her mouth instantly start to water. "It smells amazing."
She looked at Yuan Lang in amazement. "I never would have imagined you knew how to make something so delicious."
The beastman raised his eyebrows, looking pleased with himself. "But of course. It took me a long time to learn."
’It was because his two Deputy Generals had cooking skills that were absolute crap. In order to avoid starving to death or dying from some unknown food poisoning, he, a grand National Guardian General, had been forced to learn how to roast meat himself.’
He tore off a plump, tender thigh and handed it to Wu Yue. "Try some?"
Wu Yue chuckled as she took it and, without a moment’s hesitation, took a big bite.
The meat was tender, easy to chew, and carried a hint of sweetness and fruity fragrance. It was so delicious her eyes narrowed in delight.
"I could smell this irresistible aroma from a distance. I never expected that not only is the young female a powerful healer, but the food she makes is this delicious too."
The unfamiliar, aged voice came from nearby. Gnawing on the meat, Wu Yue turned her head to see the witch and the clan leader of the Black Wolf Tribe.
Although the Black Wolf Witch stared intensely at the food in Wu Yue’s hand, their expression remained relatively composed.
The Black Wolf Tribe Leader beside them was another story entirely. His drool was threatening to soak the Beast Skin Skirt around his waist.
The desire in his eyes was so palpable it was as if it could form a pair of hooks and snatch the rest of the prey right out of Yuan Lang’s hands.
Wu Yue quickly finished gnawing the thigh in her hand. Yuan Lang, cooperating perfectly, tore off the other one and passed it to her.
Only then did he turn to the two of them with a warm smile. "Witch, Clan Leader, haven’t you eaten yet? How about you join us!"
