Nan Qing: "..??"
What does that mean?
A tough guy acting cute?
Great, she likes it very much!
Nan Qing felt that her hobby was somewhat niche; she liked it when he acted coquettishly towards her with a cold face, or when he looked weak and helpless.
She raised her hand, cupped his face, leaned closer, blew a few breaths onto his lips, and blinked as she asked:
"Want more?"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Mo Ye felt like he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't hear what the little female had just said. All he could see was her bright red little mouth opening and closing—so cute, so...
His nose was filled with the fragrance of the little female; the sweet, soft scent clung to his breath, like a silent seduction.
Mo Ye's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, his voice still carrying a hint of hoarseness from the spiciness of the chili peppers.
"It still hurts."
He spoke softly, his gaze fixed on her pretty little mouth, as if that was the true source of his burning pain.
Nan Qing tilted her head, a smile flashing in her eyes, and rubbed her thumb against his lips, her tone innocent yet alluring.
"Then... blow on it again?"
Mo Ye nodded honestly, lowered his head and moved closer, his hot breath almost touching her lips—
"Qingqing, blow it again."
Nan Qing chuckled softly, her eyebrows curving upwards, looking incredibly beautiful.
Just as she was about to tease the adorable big black wolf again, she suddenly heard Bai Ya calling her over.
Nan Qing turned her head and responded, then tapped his lips with her fingertip and teased:
"Okay, if it still hurts, then go wash it off in the stream~~"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards Bai Ya, leaving Mo Ye behind with a pair of wolf eyes that were three parts aggrieved, three parts burning, and four parts wild.
The cold season is almost here, and the little females are so tiny and soft; they're definitely afraid of the cold. They'll need a male to warm their nest...
Mo Ye quickly figured out how to climb into the little female's den and walked towards Nan Qing.
The males who came with me today kept staring at his little female; I can't give them that chance!
For lunch, several males went to the nearby forest to hunt a few cattle and beasts. They quickly separated the bones and meat, some roasting the meat, some digging for gourds, and others were assigned by Bai Ya to pick chili peppers.
Although many orcs couldn't understand it at first, since the red fruit had always been considered a poisonous substance that should not be touched.
But Baiya was highly respected by the orcs in the tribe, so even though they were afraid, no orc dared to contradict him.
However, Bai Ya still ate another bite of chili pepper in front of all the orcs and told them how she felt. Several male orcs followed her and ate a bite of chili pepper, and their reactions were all different.
Some orcs who couldn't handle the spiciness were so spicy that they stuck out their tongues and howled as they rushed to the stream to drink water.
But some orcs' eyes lit up as they savored the thrill they had never experienced before, some even licking their lips in excitement.
Whether you like the food or not, you'll experience that warm feeling all over your body and the urge to sweat that Bai Ya described. If you had that, wouldn't you be less afraid of the cold during the cold season?
So many orcs immediately volunteered to search for it, and several orcs said they had seen many such red-fruited trees elsewhere.
And just like that, the red fruit tree, which used to be something people wanted to uproot, instantly became a precious chili pepper in the hearts of the wolf beastmen.
As for Nanqing, seeing that the beast they had hunted at noon was a cow, he asked Moye to find a thin stone slab and then had him build a simple stove with a few stones.
The tribe's beef is always grilled in large chunks. It's not that it's bad, but it's a bit tough and dry, lacking the tender flavor that beef should have. So she thought, why not just slice it thinly and grill it on a stone slab? That would definitely taste better!
"Moye, cut some more small pieces, the kind that are square, about the size of your thumb."
She just found some cilantro by the stream; she'll also make some beef skewers and beef rolls with cilantro later~~~
Bai Ya had been watching Nan Qing's actions closely. When she saw Nan Qing pull up a handful of wild grass from the stream and ask Mo Ye to cut the beef meat into such small pieces, she immediately thought of the other cooking methods Nan Qing had mentioned to her.
"Nanqing, is this what you meant by 'stir-fried'...stir-fried dishes?"
Hearing the voice, Nan Qing looked up and saw it was Bai Ya. She smiled and said:
"It's not stir-frying, it's still grilling meat, just a different way of cooking it to make the beef meat more tender and tastier."
Bai Ya was very interested in the other way of grilling meat that Nan Qing mentioned, and immediately said gently:
"May I try some?"
Nan Qing immediately took out a few large green leaves from her basket and placed them aside: "Of course, neither Mo Ye nor I are really good at grilling meat. I only know how to grill. It would be great if Bai Ya could join us~~"
It's true, she knows all the steps, but it seems that these little things always taste a little different from what she predicts when she gets them...
Nanqing taught Bai Ya how to wrap cilantro inside slices of beef that Mo Ye had cut, and then skewer them with clean twigs. She even wrapped chili peppers in beef and skewered them into two skewers.
Bai Ya has exceptional hands-on skills and comprehension. Nan Qing only explained the process to her, and she understood it all. So, in the end, Bai Ya was the one in charge of grilling the skewers.
After heating the stone slab, Nanqing first moistened it with a piece of butter, and then used the freshly made twig chopsticks to place a slice of beef that had been marinated with salt, fruit and chili peppers on it.
"Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle-"
As soon as the slices of meat touched the hot stones, they emitted an enticing sound and aroma. The deep red meat slices shrank rapidly under the high temperature, the edges curled up slightly, and the surface gradually developed golden brown char marks. The aroma of chili mixed with the meat attracted the attention of other orcs around, including those who were roasting large chunks of beef and beast meat.
Seeing that the beef had changed color, Nan Qing picked it up, placed it on a green leaf, and handed it to Bai Ya beside her.
Bai Ya looked at the thin slice of meat, and without being polite to Nan Qing, took it from her hand. Somewhat awkwardly, she used the chopsticks that Nan Qing had mentioned to put the meat into her mouth.
The meat is still the same meat, but the texture is indeed tender, and you don't need to chew it for long. Moreover, the meat has a hint of chili flavor, which blends perfectly with the salted fruit.
Nan Qing hardly needed to ask her if the taste was good enough; she could tell from her expression that it was definitely delicious. So she sped up and put several more pieces on the stone slab. The slices of meat were very thin and could be eaten in just a few seconds. When she took her first bite of beef, she squinted her eyes and enjoyed the delicious taste on her tongue.
The beef from the Beast World doesn't have the fishy smell of beef from other worlds. Instead, it has a milky aroma, is very fresh, and has a hint of wildness, but it's not unpleasant. In fact, it has a unique flavor.
