The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 368 Banquet
Inside the reception hall, orcs had already prepared hot tea.

When Su Lie led the tribal leaders inside, they were once again utterly stunned.

The hall was furnished with neat wooden tables and chairs, with ceramic cups and pots on the tables.

Several animal skin paintings also hung on the wall. Although the paintings were crude, they were considered works of art in this primitive animal world.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Su Lie looked at the tribal leaders and gestured for them to proceed.

They then took their seats first in the main seat.

The sons-in-law, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and Xuan Yuan Ming, also sat down in turn.

They naturally had to be present on such an important occasion.

Su Xiyue sat next to Su Lie.

The seven beastmen sat opposite him.

She glanced at Qingzhu, who had been hiding for a while, and glared at her secretly.

That look seemed to say: Go ahead and hide, keep hiding if you dare, and we'll see how we deal with you when we get back.

Just thinking about how this brooding man tormented me to the point of near death last night makes me furious.

God knows, her back is still aching right now.

Qingzhu received Su Xiyue's gaze, and a hint of guilt flashed in her emerald eyes.

He was really angered by Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi and the others in the dense forest yesterday, so they tormented him quite a bit.

But you can't entirely blame him. It's his own fault for being so seductive without realizing it. Don't let her serious demeanor during the day fool you; she blushes easily.

But once in bed at night, she was extremely bold, her alluring appearance making it impossible to resist, and one could almost die on her.

Qingzhu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as she thought about certain scenes from last night.

Then, looking back with a self-righteous air, he used telepathy to say in her mind, "Didn't Yue'er enjoy it last night? She was moaning like a cat in heat."

Su Xiyue almost choked on her tea. This reserved man was very innocent before he had his first sexual experience, and he would blush easily.

But ever since he broke his vows, he's completely changed, always secretly taking advantage of her.

Especially in private, he would spout lewd remarks one after another, always making her blush and wish she could shut him up.

Yet in public, she always presents a cold and aloof demeanor.

She glared at Qingzhu secretly, then pretended to drink her tea.

A hint of a smile flashed in Qingzhu's emerald green eyes, but he didn't continue teasing her.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the other tribal leaders, his face regaining its usual indifference.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just been flirting with Su Xiyue.

He can switch between two personas with ease.

The exchange of glances between the two did not escape the notice of Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Feng Su, and Xuan Yuanming.

Several pairs of eyes shot towards Qingzhu, wishing they could poke holes in him.

Qingzhu calmly picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip of tea. Her emerald green eyes were faintly visible through the mist, and the corners of her mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Please try this tea."

Bai Qi broke the silence at the right moment, gently pushing the teacup with his slender fingers, "It's refreshing and helps to cut through the greasiness."

Li Yan stared at the leaves floating in the cup and, imitating Bai Qi, took a big gulp.

He was so overwhelmed by the bitter taste that he couldn't open his mouth, his face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum: "Cough cough... This leaf juice tastes worse than medicine."

"puff…"

Xuanming burst out laughing, only to be hit on the forehead by Feng Su's fan.

Su Lie smiled awkwardly: "This... should be taken in small sips."

"Father."

Su Xiyue interrupted, suppressing a laugh, "Let's start the banquet right away. The leaders must be hungry from their journey."

She realized that these people simply didn't have the inclination to drink tea, nor did they understand any tea culture.

They might even be secretly looking down on the wolf tribe, thinking, "What are they trying to prove by using leaves to attract customers?"

It has to be said that she guessed very accurately; those tribal chiefs really thought the same thing, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Seeing that no one was interested in the tea, Su Lie laughed heartily and then clapped his hands: "Then let's start the banquet!"

As his words fell.

The female members of the wolf tribe filed in, each carrying a different kind of pottery.

When the fragrant stews, stir-fries, grilled fish, and all sorts of other delicacies were placed on the table, the eyes of the tribal chiefs widened in amazement.

In addition to a variety of delicious foods, each person also had a jar of wine in front of them.

This is fruit wine brewed by Su Xiyue; it has a sweet and refreshing taste.

Although it can't compare to the alcohol content of rice wine, it's a rare find in this extremely backward ancient beast world.

Ye Ling's gaze slowly swept across the entire area, and she was slightly taken aback when she did not spot the Golden Silkworm King.

He beckoned to Xuanfeng beside him and said in a low voice, "Go and call the Golden Silkworm King over."

Although he disliked the Golden Silkworm King, the Golden Silkworm King was a major contributor to the fight against the plague, and he naturally couldn't be absent from such an important occasion.

I don't know if the leader forgot, or if there's some other reason.

It's highly likely they don't remember.

"Okay, I'll call him over right away."

Xuanfeng nodded slightly, then quickly got up and left the banquet hall to call for the Golden Silkworm King.

Su Xiyue naturally noticed Ye Ling's little movements, but didn't pay attention when Xuan Feng left, guessing that he had something to do.

Over here, Su Lie, who was sitting in the main seat, grabbed a jar of wine and broke the clay seal: "Everyone, please."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down several large mouthfuls of liquor, which dripped down his chin and soaked the animal skin on his chest.

They didn't even use a bowl; they drank directly from the jar.

Drinking from a bowl is too much trouble; you have to keep refilling it after you're done. Drinking like this is much more enjoyable. It gives you a feeling of complete satisfaction.

Su Lie's bold drinking style instantly ignited the atmosphere.

Li Yan laughed heartily and was the first to slam his fist on the table and stand up: "Good! That's a real man!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine jar, tilted his head back, and drank it down, the wine dripping down his golden beard.

Other leaders followed suit upon seeing this.

For a moment, the reception hall was filled with a series of "thumping" sounds.

It felt like a drinking contest.

The old priest of the deer tribe was getting on in years and wasn't very good at drinking. After taking a couple of sips, he was drawn to the dazzling array of food in front of him.

"What... what kind of practice is this?"

The old priest of the deer tribe stared at the bright red braised pork on the plate in front of him. Its color was enticing, and the aroma wafted into his nose. He swallowed hard.

He knew, of course, that it was meat, but he had never seen it prepared this way before.

In his past memories, the only way to cook meat was by roasting.

He's old and his teeth aren't good, so he can't chew the hard, tough pieces of roasted meat at all; he can only eat the tenderest parts.

Bai Qi sat in his seat, and upon hearing the words of the old priest of the deer tribe, he immediately looked over, glanced at the bowl of braised pork, and explained with a smile: "Old priest, you may not know this, but this is a new way of eating that Yue'er invented. It's called braised pork. It's tender and delicious, fatty but not greasy, and it's especially suitable for old beastmen with bad teeth and cubs."

Upon hearing this, the old priest of the deer tribe became interested and, imitating Bai Qi, picked up his chopsticks to try and pick up the braised pork. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use them and couldn't manage to pick it up after trying for a long time.

Frustrated and embarrassed, he simply threw down his chopsticks, grabbed the braised pork from the plate, and popped it into his mouth.

Although it's a bit embarrassing.

As the braised pork enters the mouth.

Just as Bai Qi had said, the braised pork melted in the mouth, and the rich aroma of the sauce exploded on the tip of the tongue. It was fatty but not greasy, and lean but not dry.

"This this"

He was so excited that his beard trembled. "By the God of Beasts, I have never eaten such delicious meat."

He wanted to ask how to make the braised pork, but then he remembered that it was a technique from the wolf tribe, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

Upon hearing this, the other leaders all dropped their wine jars and rushed to grab the food.

No, it's grabbing vegetables, the kind you do directly with your hands.

As for the chopsticks placed to the side, they were completely ignored by everyone.

Su Xiyue's lips twitched as she watched, but upon further reflection, she understood.

The orcs of the Beast World continent are accustomed to eating with their hands, so chopsticks are indeed too complicated for them.

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, Xuan Yuan Ming and the others thought that they had also eaten like this before, directly grabbing food with their hands, and a few embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces.

I didn't think much of it before, but looking back now, it's a real black mark on my past.

"Cough cough..."

Feng Su coughed lightly, breaking the silence, "Um... actually, using chopsticks is quite good, it's cleaner."

Xuan Yuanming nodded in agreement, "It is indeed clean, and it won't burn your hands."

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, and the others chimed in, saying that using chopsticks was a good idea.

I'm also glad that we each ate our own food, with one table for each person.

Su Xiyue: "..."

Tribal chiefs, priests, and elders: "..."

Everyone looked at their greasy hands, which seemed a bit rough, unhygienic, and indeed rather unsightly.

The tribal leaders exchanged glances and then picked up their chopsticks, mimicking how they picked up food.

Unfortunately, the chopsticks in their hands were like two slippery eels, completely unresponsive.

After several attempts, the group still couldn't add the dishes together, and they all got so angry that they threw down their chopsticks.

"This thing is so hard to use."

"Exactly, it's not as convenient as just grabbing it with your hands."

Su Lie instantly felt like he had found a kindred spirit. He had never been used to using chopsticks, but in order not to be looked down upon by his daughter, he had no choice but to use chopsticks to eat.

Fortunately, I gradually got used to it.

What is this green thing?

The leopard tribe leader, Tu Ci, pointed to the stir-fried vegetables and asked.

"Wild vegetables."

Mo Lin answered coldly, and casually picked up a piece of meat for Su Xiyue, saying, "Yue'er said that eating only meat can easily cause constipation."

The tribal leaders, priests, and elders all suddenly realized what was going on.

Constipation is a problem that exists in almost every tribe of orcs, but it is particularly severe among orcs.

Because orcs like to eat meat.

Moreover, the food in the ancient beast world was limited in variety and the only cooking method was roasting. Eating roasted meat every day would not only cause constipation but also easily lead to internal heat.

It's common to go a week without pooping, and sometimes it takes even longer.

This kind of pain can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

Afterwards, they all grabbed the vegetables with their hands and ate them, finding that they tasted quite good.

Just then, the Golden Silkworm King appeared with a head of dazzling golden hair, followed by Xuanfeng, who looked utterly helpless.

"Sorry for being late."

The Golden Silkworm King casually tossed his long hair, his golden eyes scanning the hall. He noticed that everyone was eating with their hands, which wasn't strange at all.

Having spent so much time with Su Xiyue, seeing this scene made him feel nauseous.

Suddenly I feel full.
