Chapter 185: Horror Playground

"This is what you call a feature?!"

Peiji almost screamed. This long and large food court was selling all kinds of food made from insects, fried, steamed, boiled, roasted, braised, and pan-fried...

Even the cakes and desserts are made from all sorts of weird and disgusting looking bugs.

That’s fine, but even the milk tea is made from juice squeezed from insects. It’s colorful and looks really nice, but how can you possibly eat it?

Baiguo swallowed silently. It smelled good, but she found it hard to accept eating all kinds of hideous-looking insects and making them into delicacies.

"Dad Ji...are these the characteristics of this place?"

I don't want to try ginkgo at all, it smells really good...

"Yeah, don't be fooled by their ugly appearance; they're actually delicious." Ji Xingyao bought a large plate of freshly fried insects. Each one was plump and white, fried to a golden brown, and sprinkled with some seasoning, giving off an enticing aroma. "I like these little white insects the most. They're crispy on the outside, and they burst with juice when you put them in your mouth..."

"Exploding juice..."

Pu Hebi's face was a little purple, and he felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Seeing the unhappy expressions on their faces, Ji Xingyao also started to have a bad taste in his mouth. "The juice that burst out has a milky aroma and a hint of sweetness. Paired with the pepper and salt sprinkled on the outside, the taste is unique..."

Pu Hebi went to the side and started retching.

Peiji held it in, but her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

In front of Pei Ji and Bai Guo, Ji Xingyao picked up a fried little white worm and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound. After a while, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face. "The fried little white worms here are really authentic. They are fried to the perfect temperature, and the juice that bursts out is really unforgettable."

"vomit……"

Peggy also joined the retching queue.

Ji Xingyao's smile deepened when he saw the two of them like this. These two people are no good, they are just bugs.

He looked down at the still firm ginkgo.

"Dad Ji, is it really that delicious?"

There was a hint of desire and resistance on Baiguo's little face. She was actually reduced to eating insects. But as a tree, she had seen all kinds of insects, and in the end they would all become nutrients for her body. In other words, her body could grow so big thanks to the sacrifice of the insects.

So she was not afraid and wanted to give it a try.

Ji Xingyao squatted down, putting on a face that said his little one was the most knowledgeable. The other two timid ones didn't know what delicious food they had missed. He smiled and handed the bottle of fried white worms with salt and pepper to Bai Guo. "Try it, the taste will definitely not disappoint you."

Bai Guo swallowed the saliva and glanced at the sincere Ji Xingyao to make sure that this person was not lying. Then she carefully stretched out her chubby little hand, which was a little trembling. No, it was because the temperature here was too low that she was shaking. She was not afraid!

I picked the smallest one...

"The plump ones are the best. The one you picked will definitely have very little juice," Ji Xingyao pointed at another plump little bug. "This one looks the best. It must be delicious."

Bai Guo's hand changed direction and picked up the chubby worm recommended by Ji Xingyao. The outside was a little hard, and it made a cracking sound when a little force was applied. It was obviously very crispy. Then, right under the eyes of Pei Ji and Pu Hebi, he threw the fried little white worm into his mouth.

Snap, it really burst out with juice.

There is a milky taste in the mouth, sweet with a hint of saltiness. Ginkgo's eyes lit up. It is really delicious!

"Delicious, right?" Ji Xingyao smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Try eating a handful and see how it goes. It'll feel even better if you eat a few at once, as the juices overflow and fill your entire mouth!"

Bai Guo licked the corner of his mouth. Eating just one was not enough, so he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. The crunching sound and the burst of juice were really delicious!

She announced that she fell in love with the bug and had no idea that bugs could be so delicious!

"Pu Dad Pei Ji, do you want to try it? It's really delicious!"

Bai Guo couldn't stop eating, her face full of enjoyment. She wanted to share good things with others, and she enthusiastically invited her other two fathers to eat.

"They may not be able to enjoy such good things," Ji Xingyao narrowed his eyes and looked at the two pale-faced people with disdain. "Let's go, there are many delicious specialties, such as the drink that can be squeezed into juice to make milk tea. It's also very delicious. Those insects only eat fruit, and their bodies are full of juice. The taste..."

"vomit……"

Pu Hebi's face turned pale, and he leaned against the wall with one hand, retching. Tears streamed down his face. Why could such an unacceptable food be squeezed into juice? Why not...

"By the way," Ji Xingyao enthusiastically introduced the recipes here to Baiguo, "Those juice bugs can also be eaten raw. They will burst with juice when you bite them, but only when they are alive..."

"vomit……"

Pei Ji couldn't stand it anymore. Ji Xingyao definitely did it on purpose. She glanced at the worms crawling around in the glass cage with liquids of various colors in their bodies. She vomited again. Just imagining eating living worms caused her severe physical discomfort.

Even though those bugs looked beautiful, he still accepted his incompetence.

He even prayed that the enemies hiding here would come out. Instead of understanding the characteristics of this place, he wanted to have a fierce battle. How could anyone eat live insects? When he thought of the insects wriggling in his mouth, Peggy vomited even louder, almost vomiting bile.

Pu Hebi is even worse off than Pei Ji...

I'm also a bit confused about ginkgo nuts. Are they supposed to be eaten raw? That's too...

“Do different colors mean different flavors?”

Ji Xingyao nodded, and looked at the two competitors who were vomiting so much that they looked like unrecognizable people. He was in high spirits. What cowards they were. They were actually afraid of bugs. The bugs here were actually really delicious.

For example, they are afraid of various colorful insects, but when they bite them, they will find fresh juice, which they really cannot eat.

Baiguo was speechless as she watched Ji Xingyao throw the lively, red insects into his mouth and chew them. He looked so happy that she could hardly accept it. It would be better to eat the juice squeezed from them. At least they were not alive. Human food can be scary sometimes, like now.

Eat everything!

"Would you like to try it?" Ji Xingyao was holding a fat golden worm. It looked very cute. If you looked closely, you could see golden liquid flowing in its body. "The golden one has the flavor of quicksand fruit. It's a little different. It's more delicious than quicksand fruit. It has a very refreshing taste, sweet and crunchy..."

Bai Guo took a step back. Not wanting to swallow something raw, she chose freshly squeezed. This was truly unacceptable...

Ji Xingyao expressed regret, threw the golden bug directly into his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked happy.

As someone with a culinary master certificate, he would try all kinds of ingredients, and eating insects to test their taste was a common thing for him. At first, he couldn't accept it, but later... after eating more, he got used to it...
