Chapter 302 - Perfectly Safe (1/2)
Chapter 302 Perfectly SafeThe Son of God was not convinced that he was not powerful enough, so he wanted to refute it subconsciously. But Li Ye looked the same as usual with no intention of irony. The Son of God could say nothing because what Li Ye said was true.
Li Ye asked, “How many reinforcements is the demon clan going to send? What realm is their strength in?”
The Son of God curled his lips. “More people than I’ve taken, and more powerful than my men!”
The Son of God felt wronged and depressed, like a little girl who was being treated unfairly. Seeing his expression, Li Ye couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you, the son of the Great Sage Roc, a doormat in the demon clan?”
Surprisingly, the Son of God didn’t get angry and refute it but sighed with his head low. “I told you earlier that there are seven sages in the demon clan and that I’m not the only son of my father.”
Li Ye couldn’t bear to see the Son of God being dispirited, so he patted hard on the Son of God’s shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t worry. You have followed me for a long time. You are reliable, and I like you. When the people of the demon clan come, I will highly praise your merits and will not let anyone take your place. You are still the chief of the demon clan!”
The Son of God was happy. “Really?”
Li Ye said seriously, “Of course. In the present Tang Empire, whose words carry more weight than mine?”
The Son of God was overjoyed. “You really live up to the famous Prince An! It’s the Bull Demon King’s son that will come this time, and he is a master in the Immortal Realm… Haha. This guy is always arrogant and doesn’t take anyone seriously. This time, I will turn over and teach him a lesson!”
“The Bull Demon King’s son? A master in the Immortal Realm?” Li Ye interrupted the Son of God and asked seriously, “Is he the Red Boy?”
From the Son of God’s reaction, Li Ye could imagine that when he was in the demon clan, he must be suppressed by the other side and maybe, he was badly bullied. It was no wonder that the Son of God was depressed when talking about reinforcements.
The Son of God was a little stunned. “How do you know?”
Li Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully. “If so, he should indeed be the chief of the demon clan.”
The Son of God was stunned, and then he shouted immediately, “Li Ye! Are you going to eat your words?”
Li Ye said earnestly, “In general, I won’t eat my words, unless it’s necessary. After all, I’m Prince An of the Tang Empire.”
“You b*stard! Since you know you’re Prince An of the Tang Empire, how could you eat your words? This is how you be a big shot!”
“Well, you’re wrong. To be a big shot, you have to learn how to deny your words first.”
…
Out of the camp, Li Ye sat on the ground for a while. The sun was setting, and the wilderness was covered with smoke. He thought of the world before his transmigration and felt homesick. Suddenly, he wanted to eat something, so he went straight to the kitchen and planned to cook something delicious in his memory.
The kitchen for Li Ye was not big and there were not many people, but all the ingredients were available, and nothing was lacking even during the march. When Li Ye entered the kitchen, two cooks, an old one and a young one, were sitting at the door and picking up vegetables. A rich smell came from inside, as if the dish was almost ready.
Li Ye asked the cooks, who stood up and saluted, to leave. He walked into the kitchen and saw Su Emei. She was dressed in coarse clothes with a headscarf and an apron. Leaning forward her full and enchanting body, she opened the round wooden pot cover in front of the hearth. The smell of the dish rose with white steam and covered half of her body, which made her look like a real cook.
But Su Emei was indeed a real cook. When she was in Boji Mountain, she learned to cook at an early age and tidied up a vegetable garden. A woman who could cook was always attractive.
The unique smell of the dish made Li Ye’s eyes bright. “Braised pork?”
When Su Emei was aware of Li Ye’s arrival, she smiled at him gently, but she didn’t stop cooking. “It’ll be ready in a minute.”
Li Ye sat down in front of a small table nearby, waiting for the food to arrive. There was no braised pork in this era, and the dishes were usually stewed, broiled, steamed and boiled. Li Ye had some special hobbies for food. He previously mentioned braised pork to Su Emei, but he didn’t expect that she would put it in her heart.
And she seemed to spend a lot of time studying this dish. Otherwise, it wouldn’t smell so good. When she almost succeeded in making this dish today, Li Ye happened to run into it.
Before long, Su Emei brought up the dishes. Lowering her head slightly, she was careful not to break the plate. As the Yin Spiritual Master, of course, it was impossible for her to break the plate. She was being so careful because she was nervous and had no confidence in her own cooking.
She peeked at Li Ye. Seeing Li Ye smiling at her, Su Emei slowly put the dish on the table and closed her eyes directly. Out of sight, out of mind. She was waiting for Li Ye’s comment.
When she cooked, she did it smoothly with great confidence. She held the spatula like holding a fairy sword. Now when the dish was ready, she had no confidence instead. She was cute.
