But An Jin wasn’t satisfied with this and had Ling Hong bring over the spice jars.
As the at skewers were nearly done, she took two more thick, aty legs, scored them with a few cuts, and placed them on the fire to roast.
She sprinkled so coarse salt over them, turning them slowly to help the salt lt and absorb into the surface of the at.
Next, An Jin unsealed the chili sauce she had prepared earlier. Just as she was about to spread it on the sizzling, greasy at legs, Ling Hong grabbed her hand and stopped her.
He eyed the dangerously colored red chili sauce warily, his handso brows furrowing slightly. "What is this? Why are you spreading it on the at?"
’Isn’t it poisonous?’
An Jin waved her hand to reassure him. "It’s a kind of seasoning. It’s not poisonous. A little bit on cooked at makes it taste even better."
Given her track record, Ling Hong relaxed, but he still took the leg of at from her hand and took a small bite to try it first.
His expression flickered. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled to swallow the piece of at.
A tingling, numbing sensation spread through his mouth. It burned his tongue and felt very strange, but the feeling was surprisingly addictive.
’This... it’s really not poison, is it??’
Ling Hong still couldn’t bring himself to trust the bright red chili sauce. In the eyes of the Beastn, anything that looked so gaudy was bound to be poisonous!
That’s why he had to test it for the little female first. His body was strong, after all. A little poison wouldn’t be a big deal.
As Ling Hong had this very serious thought, he couldn’t stop himself from taking another two bites. A few mouthfuls later, and—great. All that was left of the at leg was a bone.
An Jin watched him, her face completely blank. "..."
When a certain wolf finally realized that the little female, who had been toiling away at the grill, hadn’t eaten a single bite, he gave a light cough. The tips of his ears turned red as he tore off the most tender part of another leg of at, blew on it to cool it down, and placed it in her mouth.
The two of them ate as they grilled, and soon the aroma of roasting at filled the air. A Beastman’s sense of sll is incredibly sharp, and many of them were drawn over by the irresistible scent.
So of the young, unmated males were stunned when they saw the little female next to Ling Hong.
They had never seen a female next to Lord Ling Hong before.
They had no idea who this female was.
’The little female is so pretty and clean, and she looks so gentle. Her scent is amazing... Huh? Is she from our tribe? She looks kind of familiar, but I can’t recall any female who slled this good.’
’How co she looks a bit like Little Black Mud?’
’That’s weird. Was Little Black Mud ever this good-looking??’
The young males whispered among themselves, exchanging glances. Still, the attraction of a female who slled so nice was quite strong.
Just as they were planning to go over and strike up a conversation, a chilling gaze from Ling Hong shot in their direction.
The Beastn shuddered, their legs nearly giving out from under them.
’Lord Ling Hong is terrifying. He really is the tribe’s number one warrior.’
"Uh, we were drawn by the sll of the roasted at. It’s so fragrant! Could you teach us how to make it?" one of the males asked, rubbing his nose. They had already co all this way; it would be too humiliating to just leave now.
Besides, the little female slled so clean and wonderful. For unmated males like them, their legs were practically rooted to the spot.
Ling Hong shot them a cool glance. "Fine. I know how, too. Why don’t I teach you?"
The males fell silent. "..."
They just wanted to chat her up; why was Lord Ling Hong getting involved? Still, the roasted at was genuinely fragrant, and they were practically drooling. So, they brazenly and cheerfully went up to learn.
