Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 468 - 375: A Gentle Smile_2

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest proudly, looking extremely pleased with himself.

Wu Yue was speechless. ’You ditched your good buddies to eat alone, and you have the nerve to be smug about it?’

The Snow Tiger Witch was naturally unaware of Wu Yue’s inner thoughts. He waved his hand, signaling the two Half beastman Warriors to place the baskets they were carrying on the ground. "These are the dirt clods allocated to me. I don’t know how to cook them, so it’s perfect. You can make them into something delicious, and we can eat together."

The thick-skinned Snow Tiger Witch beamed at Wu Yue, looking at her as if to say it was all perfectly fair—he was providing the food, and she was providing the labor.

Well, potatoes weren’t hard to make into a delicious meal. Besides, Wu Yue had an idea of her own, so she naturally agreed to the Snow Tiger Witch’s proposal.

However, she added one condition: this time, the cooking of the dirt clods had to be done in the main square of the trading grounds.

The Snow Tiger Witch’s old face immediately darkened. He had just managed to shake off those clingy old geezers. If Wu Yue cooked in the open trading area, wouldn’t those old guys find out too?

"Can’t we just make the delicious food at home? Why do we have to go to the trading grounds to cook!"

Could the Snow Tiger Witch admit that he wanted to eat it all himself?

Of course, he wouldn’t admit it, but the look in his eyes clearly gave him away.

Wu Yue found it amusing. "Don’t you worry. I’ll bring some dirt clods with me when we go. But before we go... hehe..."

Seeing the cunning little smile on the young female’s face, the Snow Tiger Witch had a very bad feeling...

A while later, sitting on a small stool and washing the dirt clods, the Snow Tiger Witch found himself questioning his life choices.

’I, the great Witch of the Snow Tiger Tribe, am actually being ordered around by a young female!’

But then he looked at the two Half beastman Warriors peeling the dirt clods and Wu Yue dicing them into small cubes, and his little heart felt a bit more balanced. ’At least my job is the easiest.’

After all the necessary dirt clods and side ingredients were washed and cut, and the meat was sliced into evenly thin pieces, the group headed to the trading grounds, carrying the pots and bowls.

They found a relatively spacious spot where the two Half beastman Warriors set up a simple stove. They also moved a large wooden table next to it and placed many stone bowls on top.

Seeing this series of strange actions, the Beastman Warriors from the surrounding tribes gathered around, curious.

"What’s the Snow Tiger Tribe doing?"

"I don’t know, but it looks like they’re getting ready to cook."

Speaking of food, everyone couldn’t help but think of the delicious meal they ate during the Priest’s ceremony at the trade meet—a flavor so good you wanted to swallow your own tongue. They hadn’t tasted anything like it since the ceremony.

It had gotten to the point where the food people had been eating at the trade meet these past few days all seemed tasteless in comparison.

Now, seeing Wu Yue and her group setting up the stone pot, a glimmer of anticipation rose in their hearts.

The large stone pot heated up over the flames. Wu Yue tossed in the chopped fatty meat. The moment the red-and-white marbled pieces hit the pot, a sharp SIZZLE echoed out, and the aroma of frying meat instantly filled the open space.

The eyes of the surrounding tribespeople seemed glued to the stone pot as they swallowed hard.

They had clearly eaten just this morning, but now they felt like they could devour the entire pot’s contents.

The fatty meat tumbled in the stone pot, slowly rendering its clear oil. Wu Yue pointed to the sliced meat on the side, signaling a Half beastman Warrior to pour it in.

The oil seared the meat slices, and the sizzling sound grew louder.

After stir-frying for a moment, she began to add the prepared side ingredients into the stone pot. As they cooked with the meat, an even richer aroma wafted out.

Finally, Wu Yue waved her hand again. The Half beastman Warrior, who had already swallowed hard many times, then poured half a basket full of dirt clods into the stone pot.

The peeled dirt clods were a faint yellow. After being poured into the stone pot, they mixed with the meat slices and the seasoned side ingredients, creating a beautiful sight.

After stir-frying for another moment, Wu Yue looked at the Half beastman Warrior. "Pour in the water."

An entire wooden bucket of water was poured into the stone pot, just enough to be level with the food inside. Wu Yue placed the wooden lid on top, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and grinned at the Snow Tiger Witch. "Alright, now we just have to wait."

As the water in the pot came to a boil, the contents began to stew, and wave after wave of an exceptionally tempting aroma drifted across the open ground.
