The three of them were walking towards the meeting place and as they were about to reach, Sima You Yue said to the two of them: “Please keep the matters about Murong Xi affairs a secret for me.”

She didn’t know the identities of Gongzi Yuan and Xiao Ruo Bai before, so she didn’t manage to get much information and she didn’t expect Gongzi Yuan to divulge so much. Now, many of those people were locals from Eternal Brilliance City, and there may be collusion with others. So the less people who knew about this, the better.

“Alright.” Gongzi Yuan’s face turned red, annoyed by his previous behavior.

Xiao Ruo Bai also nodded, which was not a big deal to her.

By the time they arrived, Cao Cheng An and the rest had already reached the meeting place and set up camp. The group was sitting around the campfire and grilling food as they walked over. When Cao Cheng An saw the three of them, he waved his hands and said, “You guys are really late. No gains at all?”

“Alright, let’s just speak less.” Mu Kai En poked him, fearing that Gongzi Yuan would be upset.

“Ha ha, Little An Kid, we’ve yet to determine who is the victor!” Gongzi Yuan walked over with a smile, grabbed the barbecued meat from Cao Cheng An’s hand, and took a bite by himself.

“Really? Then shall we compete?”

“Let’s do it!”

Sima You Yue and Xiao Ruo Bai did not go with Gongzi Yuan, they were not interested in the result.

“Here.” Mu Kai En shared the barbecue in his hands with Xiao Ruo Bai and her.

Sima You Yue was startled, Mu Kai En was not friendly to her before so she did not expect him to share with her his barbecued meat this time round.

“Thank you.” She took the barbecue from him. She did not eat anything today and she did feel a little hungry.

But the taste of this barbecue was really lacking. On the contrary, Xiao Ruo Bai seemed to be used to it as she was munching it down with big bites.

Seeing that she had only taken a bite and putting it down straight after, Xiao Ruo Bai turned to look at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Sima You Yue touched her belly, and then looked at the unpalatable barbecue in her hand. Seeing that there was still unprocessed meat from the beast at the side, she decided not to wrong her belly.

She put down the barbecue in her hand, got up and went to the carcass of the underworld beast, and asked, “Can you give this to me?”

“Yes.” Mu Kai En nodded.

Sima You Yue cut off a piece of meat, found the creek at the foot of the mountain and washed it before she took out various items. She then used the knife and cut the meat into thin slices, before she took out various seasonings to marinate it, and then skewered it with an iron skewer.

She then took out her barbecue grill, burned the charcoal, and when the temperature was about right, she took the meat and grilled it.

When she smelled the familiar aroma, she felt very grateful. Fortunately! She didn’t put this in the Treasury Pavilion, so she could still use it, otherwise she would have wronged her poor stomach.

At first, the people around were talking and laughing, when suddenly, all was quiet. She raised her head and saw everyone staring at her in shock.

“What is it?”

“Murong Xi, when did you learn to barbecue?” Cao Cheng An then took in a deep whiff of the barbecue and started drooling uncontrollably. He could no longer hold back and ran over, looking at the barbecue before him with an undisguised greedy gleam in his eyes.

“Xi’er, when will this be ready?! It smells really good!” Xiao Ruo Bai also leaned to her side and asked.

“It still needs a while more.” Sima You Yue took out the spice and brushed it on the meat with a special brush. The aroma was even more enticing.

“Xi’er, I want the first batch!” Gongzi Yuan demanded.

“Alright.”

Sima You Yue grilled the first batch and placed them on a plate and kept a few skewers for herself. She shared it with them, and started grilling the next batch while eating.
