So cute! I want to pet it!
I wonder if there’ll be a chance later?
Snapping back to reality, Zhou Bai nodded, "That’s possible, but it’ll be slightly slower."
With Zhou Bai’s response, Jervis and Al Su also shifted their attention to her.
At a glance, they had already seen through Zhou Bai’s level and got a slight understanding of her strength.
On normal days, they wouldn’t pay any attention to Zhou Bai, but who could bla them when, at this mont, Zhou Bai was under the "protection" of Philaya from the Dragon Clan!
From Philaya’s inquiry about Zhou Bai’s opinion, it was clear that Philaya was at least considering Zhou Bai.
As such, they couldn’t ignore Zhou Bai any longer.
When sitting down, the two also politely said "Thank you for the trouble" to Zhou Bai.
Seeing this, Zhou Bai also responded with an easy smile and then continued using the fire magic elent to start grilling the seafood.
Jervis and Al Su also subconsciously watched, showing a bit of surprise at how precisely Zhou Bai could control the intensity of the fire.
From the specific one can infer the general; it’s entirely obvious that Zhou Bai’s talent in magic was not at all weak—in fact, it could be said to be very strong.
Especially given how young Zhou Bai appeared.
Towards professionals with potential, Jervis and Al Su were indeed very appreciative.
While they were observing, Zhou Bai had already finished preparing the spicy squid; instead of piling it all onto one plate as before, Zhou Bai brought out two additional plates, dividing the spicy squid into three servings.
Of course, Philaya’s portion was the most generous, while the portions on Jervis’s and Al Su’s plates were pitifully small, clearly just enough for a taste.
Philaya, watching this unfold, was very satisfied with Zhou Bai; she truly found this human to be to her taste—oh, and not in the sense of eating.
Imdiately, Philaya swiftly took her portion of food.
Jervis and Al Su also noted this scene and had no objections; they too just wanted a taste... nothing more.
The last word was swallowed right back down the mont the food entered their mouths.
The flavor was indeed good; it was just too bad there was so little that it was gone before they could fully savor it.
In this mont, their look towards Zhou Bai had changed, wondering whether, with these cooking skills, Zhou Bai would be able to live comfortably in any territory, right?
The next mont, after watching Zhou Bai allocate the garlic shrimp, leaving only one for each of them, Jervis couldn’t help but tap on his own bowl, then stared straight at Zhou Bai, the aning quite clear.
Seeing this, Zhou Bai paused, then divided another shrimp between them.
Although it was still a far cry from Philaya’s share, Jervis and Al Su were satisfied.
"Don’t snatch food from the jaws of a dragon," that’s saying enough with subtlety.
Watching the two heartily enjoy the food, a trace of a smile passed through Zhou Bai’s eyes.
Being able to make food that others enjoy is, indeed, a source of satisfaction.
Of course, for the current Zhou Bai, she realized sothing else through this small detail.
That is, these two Saint-level professionals hadn’t stayed in the Royal Capital recently, or perhaps, they weren’t from the Royal Capital at all.
Baron Charlotte cos from the Royal Capital, but it doesn’t an his people are from there. Perhaps Jervis and Al Su were Saint-level professionals maintained by Baron Charlotte’s family?
With that thought, Zhou Bai directly asked, "Are you two gentlen dispatched by Baron Charlotte?"
Hearing the five words "Baron Charlotte," Jervis and Al Su’s expressions froze, and they shot sharp glances towards Zhou Bai.
They had never ntioned to anyone that they were sent by Baron Charlotte.
Who is this person? How would she know that?
"I am the Hope Village Chief," Zhou Bai stated his identity directly, "Baron Charlotte sent you here to reach so cooperation with Hope Village. I’ve been paying attention, so naturally, I’m aware of the two lords’ talents."
With the introduction of the Hope Village Chief, Jervis and Al Su imdiately knew.
This was the Hope Village Chief Zhou Bai ntioned in the Baron’s letter!
No wonder he was so unique.
"It really is a coincidence!" Jervis said, his attitude much friendlier than before.
After all, he was a partner of their Baron, and the Baron had very high praise for Zhou Bai. They were naturally willing to show this respect.
Zhou Bai smiled and continued, "Baron Charlotte has had a shop in the Royal Capital for a long ti, selling things that are the sa as now."
"Barbecue?" Jervis caught on in an instant.
They had heard of it, of course, and had thought of treating themselves to the highly praised delicacy after completing their task.
They had received the letter and co here straight after leaving their retreat and had missed the chance to taste the gourt food.
They didn’t expect to enjoy it here first.
"Yes, the two have their similarities, just different ingredients," Zhou Bai said candidly.
"What different ingredients are there?" In the midst of their conversation, Philaya, hearing about another delicious food, was instantly energized.
Could ingredients other than seafood be used?
"There are many, Demon Beast at and various vegetables are all possible," Zhou Bai replied. "Everything can be barbecued, but that’s just barbecue, our Hope Village’s cuisine is not just this..."
While speaking, Zhou Bai gave a simple introduction.
The eight major cuisines, hamburgers and fries, fried chicken and wings, fruit and vegetable beverages, desserts and sweets, delicious bread, all kinds of snacks... just ntioning a few was enough to tickle one’s fancy.
"I want to eat! Do you have any? Let have a taste." Just listening simply, Philaya felt like her mouth was watering as if in a waterfall.
Too tempting!
Is there anything in this world that rivals or even surpasses barbecue in flavor?
Listening to this, Zhou Bai directly took out jerky and dried fruits and other convenient snacks from his backpack, "The others aren’t convenient to carry, and their natural flavors are better. Try these for now."
The mont he took them out, Philaya couldn’t wait to start eating.
When the flavors, completely different from barbecue, hit her tongue, Philaya felt indescribably happy.
For a mont, she felt as if all the years she had lived before were wasted, consuming tasteless things, she wondered how she had endured it.
It didn’t take long for Zhou Bai’s modest stash to be completely devoured by Philaya, Jervis, and Al Su.
Jervis and Al Su were now of the sa mind as Philaya.
Eat, eat, eat!
And after they were done, Philaya thought again of the delicacies Zhou Bai had ntioned but hadn’t brought to the scene.
She felt an impulse.
She wanted to taste them.
Thinking this, Philaya eagerly spoke to Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, take to your territory to have a look!"
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere onsite instantly quieted down.
Zhou Bai: "..."
—What? What did she hear???
