Chapter 9 Pepper Fruit



It was almost noon, and the barbecue from the morning had been consumed during work. Yu Wanwan's stomach rumbled, making her feel embarrassed.

Hearing this voice, Bai Jing quickly took out the dried fruits he had baked and said, "I just made this this morning. Try it."

Bai Jing knew that Yu Wanwan didn't like barbecue, but the dried fruits from yesterday whetted her appetite, so he got up before dawn and went to the forest to pick fresh fruits and bake them into dried fruits.

Yu Wanwan was really moved by Bai Jing again, feeling both happy and scared.

If she can't find her way home again, she will definitely fall deeply in love with Bo Jing!

With this uneasy and contradictory mood, Yu Wanwan picked up a piece of red dried fruit and put it into her mouth.

The next second, the spicy and stimulating taste filled Yu Wanwan's taste buds. Because she ate too much in one breath, her entire skull was almost smoking!

“Cough cough cough!”

The little female's face turned red and she kept coughing, which almost scared Bai Jing. He was so anxious that his face turned pale.

"Wanwan, Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't scare me. I'll take you to see a witch doctor right now. You will be fine!"

His hands were shaking, his speech was incoherent, and there were tears in his eyes, which made Yu Wanwan think that he was going to die young.

"Water, water..." Yu Wanwan waved her hands for water. Bai Jing picked her up and took her to the river. He watched Yu Wanwan drink several gulps of water before she calmed down.

"Wanwan, how do you feel?"

Yu Wanwan waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'll take you to see a witch doctor right now!"

Yu Wanwan struggled to hold his hand, thus avoiding the fate of seeing a doctor.

"I'm really fine, I just ate too spicy food."

"It's all my fault. Seeing that kind of fruit being eaten by animals, I thought you could eat it too..."

Bai Jing was a pure carnivorous beastman, so it was normal for him not to recognize plants. Yu Wanwan didn't blame him at all: "I'm fine, I just choked. Look at me, I'm fine."

In order to prove that she was really fine, Yu Wanwan opened her arms and turned around in front of Bai Jing, trying to prove that she was very healthy.

The two returned to the tree, and when Bai Jing saw the fruit that caused Yu Wanwan to cough, he wanted to throw it away.

Yu Wanwan quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I still want to eat this fruit."

Bai Jing was puzzled: "This fruit is not delicious. I'm looking for another one for you."

Yu Wanwan grabbed Bai Jing's arm and saved the fruit: "I want to use it to grill meat, shall we try it?"

"Barbecue?"

After a while, Yu Wanwan was drooling at the spicy barbecue.

Just now she thought that this fruit tastes spicy and numb, just like chili peppers, so maybe it can be used as chili peppers.

Park King grilled three kinds of meat: fruit, seed, and mixed flavors.

After the meat was grilled, Yu Wanwan couldn't wait to try it, but was stopped by Bai Jing: "Let me try it first, it's okay, then you can eat it."

Of course there is no problem with the fruit. Yu Wanwan is not worried. What she is worried about is the spiciness of the fruit and whether Bai Jing can withstand it.

Bai Jing tore off a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth. It was not as unpalatable or poisonous as he had expected. The taste of the fruit completely stimulated the aroma of the barbecue.

It was completely different from the barbecue that was only seasoned with rock salt before. This was a taste that Bai Jing had never experienced before. The tip of his tongue seemed to hurt a little, but it didn't seem to hurt at all. It was as if the fruit had used a small sharp knife to poke countless small holes in his tongue, and then injected its own flavor into it. The taste was just unique and delicious.

Bai Jing quickly ate two other types of barbecue, and both of them amazed him.

Looking at Bai Jing's intoxicated expression, Yu Wanwan knew that the taste was right. Her mouth was watering and she couldn't wait to try it.

Bai Jing tore the barbecue into pieces and placed them on the leaves for Yu Wanwan to eat.

When Yu Wanwan took a bite of the barbecue, the familiar spicy taste almost made her cry.

I'm so touched! Woohoo!

Yu Wanwan ate with relish, and Bai Jing took out a bunch of meat to grill. Both of them ate so much that they burped.

Yu Wanwan picked up the remaining dried fruits.

She found that the flesh of this fruit was spicy and the seeds were numb. One could be used as a chili pepper and the other as a peppercorn.

With the seasoning, Yu Wanwan was very satisfied: "Bai Jing, what kind of fruit is this? Let's go find some more tomorrow, okay?"

"I don't know what kind of fruit this is. It's on the shady side of the forest. There are quite a lot of them, and they're still growing in winter. I'll pick some when I get back from the Elephant Tribe."

Since it is an unknown fruit, Yu Wanwan plans to call it chili fruit for convenience.

"Where is the elephant tribe?"

After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them slowly walked home carrying a pile of rattan bags and dried fruits.

"That's the herbivorous orc tribe closest to the White Tiger Tribe. I plan to go there and ask if they have the plants you want, and by the way, ask which plants are edible."

"So when are you going? Can I go with you?"

Yu Wanwan is still thinking about going home and hopes to go out and find the way home.

Unexpectedly, the always indulgent Bai Jing shook his head and said, "It will take at least two days to get to the Elephant Tribe and back. The journey is not safe, and it's so cold now. Just wait for me in the cave."

Generally, male orcs will not take females with them when they go out. Firstly, most females have multiple partners and are safer at home. Secondly, females are delicate and traveling will make them tired and dissatisfied.
