The three of them were walking towards the meeting place and as they were about to reach, Sima You Yue said to the two of them: “Please keep the matters about Murong Xi affairs a secret for me.”
She didn’t know the identities of Gongzi Yuan and Xiao Ruo Bai before, so she didn’t manage to get much information and she didn’t expect Gongzi Yuan to divulge so much. Now, many of those people were locals from Eternal Brilliance City, and there may be collusion with others. So the less people who knew about this, the better.
“Alright.” Gongzi Yuan’s face turned red, annoyed by his previous behavior.
Xiao Ruo Bai also nodded, which was not a big deal to her.
By the time they arrived, Cao Cheng An and the rest had already reached the meeting place and set up camp. The group was sitting around the campfire and grilling food as they walked over. When Cao Cheng An saw the three of them, he waved his hands and said, “You guys are really late. No gains at all?”
“Alright, let’s just speak less.” Mu Kai En poked him, fearing that Gongzi Yuan would be upset.
“Ha ha, Little An Kid, we’ve yet to determine who is the victor!” Gongzi Yuan walked over with a smile, grabbed the barbecued meat from Cao Cheng An’s hand, and took a bite by himself.
“Really? Then shall we compete?”
“Let’s do it!”
Sima You Yue and Xiao Ruo Bai did not go with Gongzi Yuan, they were not interested in the result.
“Here.” Mu Kai En shared the barbecue in his hands with Xiao Ruo Bai and her.
Sima You Yue was startled, Mu Kai En was not friendly to her before so she did not expect him to share with her his barbecued meat this time round.
“Thank you.” She took the barbecue from him. She did not eat anything today and she did feel a little hungry.
But the taste of this barbecue was really lacking. On the contrary, Xiao Ruo Bai seemed to be used to it as she was munching it down with big bites.
Seeing that she had only taken a bite and putting it down straight after, Xiao Ruo Bai turned to look at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Sima You Yue touched her belly, and then looked at the unpalatable barbecue in her hand. Seeing that there was still unprocessed meat from the beast at the side, she decided not to wrong her belly.
She put down the barbecue in her hand, got up and went to the carcass of the underworld beast, and asked, “Can you give this to me?”
“Yes.” Mu Kai En nodded.
Sima You Yue cut off a piece of meat, found the creek at the foot of the mountain and washed it before she took out various items. She then used the knife and cut the meat into thin slices, before she took out various seasonings to marinate it, and then skewered it with an iron skewer.
She then took out her barbecue grill, burned the charcoal, and when the temperature was about right, she took the meat and grilled it.
When she smelled the familiar aroma, she felt very grateful. Fortunately! She didn’t put this in the Treasury Pavilion, so she could still use it, otherwise she would have wronged her poor stomach.
At first, the people around were talking and laughing, when suddenly, all was quiet. She raised her head and saw everyone staring at her in shock.
“What is it?”
“Murong Xi, when did you learn to barbecue?” Cao Cheng An then took in a deep whiff of the barbecue and started drooling uncontrollably. He could no longer hold back and ran over, looking at the barbecue before him with an undisguised greedy gleam in his eyes.
“Xi’er, when will this be ready?! It smells really good!” Xiao Ruo Bai also leaned to her side and asked.
“It still needs a while more.” Sima You Yue took out the spice and brushed it on the meat with a special brush. The aroma was even more enticing.
“Xi’er, I want the first batch!” Gongzi Yuan demanded.
“Alright.”
Sima You Yue grilled the first batch and placed them on a plate and kept a few skewers for herself. She shared it with them, and started grilling the next batch while eating.
With such an enticing aroma wafting in the air, the taste would naturally not be bad, so Gongzi Yuan, Xiao Ruo Bai, Cao Cheng An and Mu Kai En divided the skewers on the plate, and the others didn’t even after any bits left. All they could do was to watch Sima You Yue eagerly at what was being roasted in her hands.
It’s a pity that Sima You Yue holds a grudge and she remembers clearly how these people treated her before. Therefore, this barbecue naturally did not have their share.
If they were to blame, they could only blame that they did not have the identity of Cao Cheng An nor did they establish a relationship like Gongzi Yuan.
Mu Kai En took a bite and instantly understood why Sima You Yue had only taken a bite and wasn’t able to eat what he gave her. This was a world of difference!
But they became even more puzzled. When did this Young Miss have such good barbecue skills?
Sima You Yue didn’t intend to continue cooking more after she made this last batch. Gongzi Yuan and the four ate a lot, but they still had some left. For the others, only in the last batch, each person finally got to taste them. They were still in a daze and savouring their treasured skewer, as if they had tasted the world’s best delicacy, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Sima You Yue watched them all looking at her, eating the last bit, and then began to clean up. Now that Little Spirit wasn’t around, these had to be cleaned before they were placed back.
She was now the Young Miss of the City Lord Manor, and she has no obligation to feed them. They also understand this truth, so they could only look at her wryly.
When she came back from the stream, the group of people still had that expression. She ignored it, took out the tent and started to set up.
“Xi’er, I’ll help you.” After the delectable barbeque, Cao Cheng An directly changed the manner he called her .
Gongzi Yuan came over and glanced at him contemptuously, “Oh, Little Kid An, now you know how to flatter Xi’er. Well,I’m telling you, too late!”
“Tsk tsk, I’m here to help her in earnest.”
“Just you? Do you even know how to?”
“Why can’t I?”
“Look at you, all rough and crude like a brute.”
“You...”
Sima You Yue picked up the tent and set it up by herself when the two were fighting.
“Let me help you.” Xiao Ruo Bai said.
“Alright.”
After the tent was set up, she thanked Xiao Ruo Bai, then got into the tent and did not come out.
Spending the night in cultivation and continuing on the road the next day. Needless to say, Xiao Ruo Bai was naturally going to be with them, but as they were about to leave, Mu Kai En ran over to beg them to bring him along, and tossed Cao Cheng An aside, euphemistically stating the reason that they had too few people.
“Tsk tsk, your mind is just filled with Xi’er’s delicious food, right?” Gongzi Yuan mercilessly pierced through his facade.
“That’s nothing shameful.” Mu Kai En didn’t deny it.
Gongzi Yuan looked at Sima You Yue and asked her for advice. Sima You Yue shrugged, meaning that didn’t care about it.
Cao Cheng An was envious of seeing them leave like this. But he was the one who had no right to follow them, otherwise the competition would not be possible.
Fortunately, everyone will meet at night so he could still enjoy it a bit.
Gongzi Yuan had Sima You Yue who could help him attract the Underworld Beast while Cao Cheng An had many people on his team. After a few days, there was not much difference between the results of the two, and they also worked hard to find the medicinal materials and Underworld Beasts.
Xiao Ruo Bai and the others also gradually headed to the central region.
They came to a valley, Sima You Yue stopped suddenly and looked around with some doubts.
“Xi’er, what’s the matter?” Gongzi Yuan was beside her, and immediately noticed her strangeness.
