Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 52: Tastes Pretty Good

Wu Yue was also a bit embarrassed. Who could have guessed that boiling the dried bitter greens would result in a thick paste instead of a soup? Even she didn’t have the slightest appetite for it.

"Um... it might not look like much, but it actually tastes pretty good."

She wasn’t lying; it really did taste great. She had traded some of her leftover fresh bitter greens with other tribe members for some fruit, which she then added to the soup.

To her surprise, besides the fresh fragrance of the bitter greens, the soup also had a hint of sweetness.

She scooped up a spoonful and offered it to Qinghua. "Qinghua, have a taste."

Refusal was written all over Qinghua’s eyes, but she couldn’t bear to disappoint Wu Yue’s hopeful gaze. She stiffly extended her arm and took the spoon, much to Qingcao’s admiration.

Gritting her teeth, she lowered her head and stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick it...

Wu Yue: "..."

’I know it’s not nice to think this, but why do I feel like I’m forcing Qinghua to eat shit?’

"How does it taste?" Wu Yue asked expectantly.

Qinghua was a little shocked that it didn’t taste nearly as bad as she’d expected. She passed the spoon to her younger sister beside her. "Qingcao, you try it. It’s actually pretty good."

In the end, under Qinghua and Qingcao’s still-disapproving gazes, Wu Yue expressionlessly hugged her crude little stone pot and followed them toward the communal dining area.

Yuan Lang and his two companions stared at the large, bloody slab of beast meat before them, their faces stiffening.

’Eating raw meat... once in a while is one thing, but who can stand eating it every day?’ 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

’Most importantly, they wanted to eat something—anything—besides meat. Was it a luxury to be sick of the sight of it?’

"Yuanlang Warrior." A slightly hoarse female voice spoke up in front of them. Yuan Lang put down the stick in his hand and looked up.

It was three females from the tribe, including the one who had asked for their help with fishing that afternoon.

When they saw Wu Yue, all three of their gazes lit up. ’Did she really come to bring us fish soup?’

Noticing that Yuan Lang and his companions were all staring at the stone pot in her hands, Wu Yue sensibly stepped forward and placed it in front of Yuan Lang.

"Yuanlang Warrior, I originally wanted to make you fish soup, but I heard from the tribe that those Grass Carp are poisonous, so I made this vegetable paste for you instead."

As she spoke, she lifted the large leaf covering the pot.

Yuan Lang’s gaze faltered. He looked at the young female before him and thought back for a moment.

’Okay, I’m sure of it. The body’s original owner didn’t know this young female. Is this another admirer?’

He replied coolly, "Mm."

’I don’t want to give the young female any false hope,’ he thought, ’but I do want to eat that vegetable paste.’

Wu Yue took out three borrowed stone bowls, ladled the paste into them, and handed them over. Her expression was a little awkward. "It isn’t pretty, but it tastes pretty good."

Teng Qian and Teng Kun craned their necks to look at the unidentifiable green paste in the pot, their own eyes practically glowing green. "Is this really made from vegetables?"

Wu Yue nodded. "I made it from dried bitter greens. I was trying to make soup, but it turned into a paste instead."

Yuan Lang brought the stone bowl to his lips and took a small sip. It was surprisingly light and sweet. Though it was called a bitter green paste, there wasn’t a trace of bitterness. He nodded, satisfied. "Not bad."

As soon as Teng Qian and Teng Kun heard that, they raised their bowls and started gulping it down. ’If the General says it’s good, then it can’t be bad!’

Watching the Beastman Warriors devour every last bit of the bitter green paste while their own large slab of meat sat untouched, Qinghua and Qingcao gulped. They suddenly began to question everything they knew about the world.

’Do Beastman Warriors like eating vegetables now?’
