The beastmen had a heightened sense of smell. With the unique aroma of the fish steamboat spreading throughout the village, very quickly beastmen came to surround their house.

“My goodness. What’s this? Fish medicine?”

“Parker, is your female sick? Is this the medicine Harvey prescribed for her?”

The beastmen surrounded the steamboat, and a lively discussion ensued with everybody trying to get a word in.

Bai Qingqing, who was adding salt into the pot, smiled at everyone. “I’m not sick. I’m cooking food, not medicine. Do you guys want to try this?”

Feeling curious, plus the smell was indeed too alluring, everyone couldn’t resist swallowing their saliva, the word “desire” clearly evident in their eyes.

Protective of his food, Parker let out a threatening growl, and his black eyes turned into long slits. The male beastman felt their hearts quiver and instantly retreated several steps to make clear their stands that they weren’t going to vie for the food.

What a joke. Although Parker was quite young, his battle prowess was absolutely number one in the tribe—the two animal stripes on his face were solid evidence of this.

Seeing this, Bai Qingqing said nothing. After all, the food wasn’t hers, so she naturally didn’t have the right to treat others to it.

Eudora also walked over with her mate following the trace of the smell. Seeing Bai Qingqing put heaps upon heaps of salt into the stone pot, she instantly reprimanded her. “What a prodigal female. Never mind that you’re adding food, you’re even using so much salt. Do you know how much meat has to be exchanged for all this salt? Everyone only receives a jar of salt every year. I’ll bet Parker won’t have enough salt to eat this year.”

Bai Qingqing’s hand halted. Ignoring Eudora, she looked towards Parker apologetically. “Is salt very expensive?”

Parker hadn’t many feelings towards Eudora initially, but now, he was growing to detest her more and more. He made a tsk sound and said, “Ignore her. Your male can well afford to exchange for salt!”
