Chapter 52: Not Bad

Wu Yue felt a bit embarrassed; who would have thought that boiling dried bitter greens would produce not soup but a thick paste? Even she herself, looking at it, had no appetite at all.

Um, although it doesn't look great, the taste is still not bad when you eat it.

She wasn't lying; the taste of this thing is really not bad. She exchanged some of the remaining fresh bitter greens with other tribespeople for some fruit, which she added to the bitter greens soup.

Unexpectedly, besides the fresh aroma of the bitter greens, the soup also had a hint of sweetness.

She scooped a spoonful and handed it to Qing Hua: "Qing Hua Sis, try a taste."

Qing Hua's eyes were full of refusal, but seeing Wu Yue's hopeful gaze, she felt a bit reluctant, so she stiffly extended her arm and took it amid Qingcao's admiring gaze.

She gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and licked the tip of her tongue.

Wu Yue: "."

Although thinking this way isn't good, why do I feel like I'm forcing Qing Hua to eat shit?

"How does it taste?" Wu Yue asked, somewhat expectantly.

Qing Hua was slightly shocked because the mouthfeel wasn't too bad, and she handed the spoon to her younger sister beside her: "Qingcao, try it; the taste really is not bad."

Finally, under the still-unsupportive gazes of Qing Hua and Qingcao, Wu Yue expressionlessly clung to her rough little stone pot and followed the two toward the gathering clearing.

Yuan Lang and the two others stared at the bloody slab of beast meat before them, their faces stiffening.

Eating raw meat and such—once in a while is bearable, but every day? Can they stand it?

Most importantly, they wanted to eat something besides meat; getting annoyed at the sight of meat—is that a bit indulgent?

"Yuan Lang Warrior." A slightly hoarse female voice sounded before the three, and Yuan Lang lowered the wooden stick in his hand and looked ahead.

They were three tribal females, one of whom had asked them that afternoon to help catch fish.

Seeing Wu Yue, the three's eyes gleamed a little; could she really have come to bring them fish soup?

Noticing that Yuan Lang and the two were looking at the stone pot in her hand, Wu Yue naturally stepped forward and placed the pot before Yuan Lang.

"Yuan Lang Warrior, I originally wanted to make fish soup for you, but I heard from the tribespeople that the grass fish is poisonous and inedible, so I cooked wild vegetable paste for you."

Saying that, she lifted the large leaf covering the pot.

Yuan Lang's gaze paused, he looked at the young female before him, and pondered for a moment.

After confirming that the original owner indeed did not know this young female, he wondered if this was yet another admirer.

He responded somewhat coolly: "Hmm."

Although he didn't want to give the young female hope, he indicated he wanted to eat this pot of wild vegetable paste.

Wu Yue took out three borrowed stone bowls, filled three bowls of the paste, and handed them over, her expression a little embarrassed: "Although it doesn't look good, the taste is still not bad."

Teng Qian and Teng Kun craned their necks to look at the green, gooey, unidentified substance in the pot, their eyes turning somewhat green: "Is this really made from wild vegetables?"

Wu Yue nodded: "I simmered dried bitter greens; I originally wanted to make bitter greens soup, but it turned out into paste."

Yuan Lang brought the stone bowl to his lips and took a light sip; it was surprisingly fresh and sweet, said to be bitter greens paste yet had no bitterness, and he nodded satisfied: "Not bad."

Hearing that, Teng Qian and Teng Kun raised their stone bowls and gulped it down; since the general said the taste was not bad, it definitely wasn't dark cuisine.

Watching the beastman warriors wipe out the bitter greens paste while a large slab of beast meat sat untouched before them, Qing Hua and Qingcao swallowed, suddenly doubting life.

Do beastman warriors nowadays like eating wild vegetables?
