The Clan Leader’s mate jumped in surprise. "What’s wrong with you? Can’t you control your drooling, just like the tribe’s elders?"

The Clan Leader chuckled, wiping the moisture from the corner of his mouth. "Well, this food made from Sharp Horned Beast Eggs smells pretty amazing, huh?"

The Clan Leader’s mate tilted her chin up proudly. "Of course. Wu Yue was the one who discovered this recipe."

She then leaned close to the Clan Leader and whispered, "If I had known our tribe would have such an amazing young female, I wouldn’t have let our son get mated so early."

’Better not,’ the Clan Leader secretly pursed his lips. ’Let’s not let our son ruin a fine young female like her.’

But seeing the look on his mate’s face, the wise and mighty Clan Leader knew better and swallowed his unspoken complaints.

’Honestly, you have to pick your battles. Right now, the most important thing is to just agree with my mate.’

He immediately nodded along. "Of course, of course."

The Clan Leader’s mate nodded in satisfaction, then took a freshly baked small flatbread and tossed it to him.

The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader snatched it out of the air with his mouth. Just as he felt the urge to wag his tail a few times, the male Beastman, who stood over two meters tall, suddenly came to his senses...

’I’m a majestic and mighty Snow Tiger Beastman! Why am I acting like a Beastman from the Black Wolf Tribe gnawing on a bone?’

’This doesn’t suit my dignity as a Clan Leader at all.’ He quickly pulled the flatbread from his mouth and glanced around.

When he saw that his tribespeople were all busy baking the small flatbreads and no one had noticed him, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

He took a large bite of the yellow food in his hand, which they called a "flatbread." With the first bite came a crisp CRUNCH, and the flatbread’s aroma filled his mouth.

The flatbread, which had just been so crispy, softened in his mouth after a moment. The roasted flavor gave way to a wave of light sweetness.

He couldn’t help but take another bite, and then another. When it was all gone and he wanted to taste it again, all he could do was lick his fingers and stare eagerly at his mate.

Seeing his expression, the Clan Leader’s mate asked with a laugh, "It’s delicious, isn’t it?"

The Clan Leader nodded frantically. "This is so much better than meat!"

The Clan Leader’s mate coughed lightly. "Wu Yue said this is just one way to prepare the Sharp Horned Beast Eggs. When she has time, she’s going to teach us lots of other recipes for them, and they’re supposed to be even tastier."

The Clan Leader’s eyes lit up even more at her words. ’If the recipe for these flatbreads is already this good, I can’t even imagine the others.’

He was already drooling in anticipation.

On the other side, as expected, Grandma Hua Shu’s group won the group gathering competition again, so they got to keep all the food they collected.

Once Grandma Hua Shu had distributed the Sharp Horned Beast Eggs, Wu Yue led the slaves straight to the mountain behind the tribe.

The Half beastman Warriors guarding the mountain beamed when they saw her approach. "Yue! Here to store more food? We’ve dug a lot more cellars over the last few days."

Wu Yue smiled and nodded. "Didn’t I ask you to set aside two of the larger cellars for the slaves? I’ve brought them here to store their food."

The slaves behind her watched the Half beastman Warriors anxiously, worried they might give Wu Yue a hard time.

Instead, the Half beastman Warriors just grinned and turned to lead everyone toward the cellars. "They’ve been ready for a while now. You’re the only one kind enough to store food for slaves, Yue."

Wu Yue smiled. "They work hard and do a good job. It’s what they’ve earned."

Hearing her words, the slaves walking behind her couldn’t help but straighten their backs, which had been slightly stooped.

The servile expressions on their faces faded, and the way they looked at Wu Yue grew even more fervent.

Watching basket after basket of Sharp Horned Beast Eggs being carried into the cellar, the Half beastman Warriors looked completely baffled. "Yue, wasn’t the goal for the group gathering day those soft-earth greens?"

"You can’t eat these Sharp Horned Beast Eggs. Why did you all gather so many?"

Wu Yue smiled and turned to the slaves behind her. "These Half beastman Warriors dug the cellars for you. Why don’t you use these Sharp Horned Beast Eggs to make them a delicious meal as thanks?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The slaves nodded excitedly. Without even waiting to see the Half beastman Warriors’ reactions, they each grabbed a few Sharp Horned Beast Eggs and ran toward the river.

The rest of them quickly searched for stone slabs and began setting up a simple stove.
