Chapter 127 - Giant Rhinoceros (1/2)

Ch127 - Giant Rhinoceros

The rice was already starting to cook. Only then did Zhou Ji look towards the youth.

The teenager wasn’t old, his gaze was clear, and his expression full of ignorance. He looked extremely simple.

Additionally, his skin was very pale, and he had no wounds on his hands. His hair was very clean, his teeth weren’t worn down… It could be seen from a glance that he’d been raised very well.

Zhou Ji looked like that and was therefore always seen as the young chief of a large tribe by others. In turn, he now also suspected that the youth in front of him had come from a large tribe.

The other party held no malice, and his background probably wasn’t simple. Zhou Ji naturally wouldn’t do anything to him and let him do as he liked. Yet as a result, he had just cracked the shell of an egg when the youth leaned over again, “Why do you need to break the egg shell?”

Zhou Ji: “……”

Zhou Ji hadn’t even said anything when Xiong Ye took the person away-this person was constantly leaning close to Zhou Ji, and Xiong Ye found it unpleasant to the eyes.

He and Zhou Ji hadn’t had a chance to exchange even a heated kiss ever since the time he and Zhou Ji had gotten intimate back at the Beach Tribe. These past few days, he had always felt an itch in his heart whenever he looked at Zhou Ji, wanting to hug Zhou Ji and kiss him a few times. Under such circumstances, how could he allow others to hover near Zhou Ji?

However, Xiong Ye had only just taken the youth away when Hai Feng leaned over, “Why do you need to break the egg shell?”

Zhou Ji: “……”

“Also, what exactly is that oil thing? I’ve always wanted to ask you!” Hai Feng went on. Zhou Ji had many things on hand that he’d never seen before. He’d originally felt too embarrassed to ask, but now that Zhou Ji had been so patient and answered the youth just now, he decided to ask as well.

Zhou Ji answered helplessly, “Oil is something that’s split into animal oil and vegetable oil.”

Zhou Ji had people bring out a piece of lard for him and heated it up in the pot.

The smell of oil spread out through the air, and before long, the lard had split into dregs and oil.

Hai Feng couldn’t keep himself from swallowing hard, and the youth that Xiong Ye had pulled away also ran back, saying to Zhou Ji, “I want to eat it.”

Hai Feng followed suit, “I want to eat it too!”

Zhou Ji took out the dregs, sprinkled a little salt on it, then handed it to Hai Feng, “This is for you. Take the child with you and watch over him.” The ‘child’ he was referring to was the youth.

Hai Feng agreed, then dragged the youth away with him.

Not long after, Hai Feng and the youth’s voices drifted over, “Zhou Ji gave this to me. It’s not for you.”

“I want to eat it.”

“I’ll eat two pieces and give you one piece.”

“I want to eat it.”

……

Hai Feng was very patient and was especially suited to looking after children.

While Zhou Ji was thinking about this, he noticed Xiong Ye looking at him with hidden bitterness.

Xiong Ye was really feeling quite bitter-Zhou Ji used to always give him the oil dregs and such to eat, but now he hadn’t even saved him a single piece!

Zhou Ji: “You’ll have something even tastier to eat in a bit.”

Xiong Ye grew happy again hearing this.

It took nearly an hour for the rice to finish cooking. When it was ready, Zhou Ji immediately opened up the lid of the pot and spread out the rice to let it cool with a wooden spatula.

Egg fried rice made with freshly cooked rice tended to stick together, but it would be fine as long as the rice cooled first. It was still spring, so it cooled down quite quickly.

It was already dark out, but Zhou Ji’s craving for egg fried rice hadn’t subsided at all. After the rice had cooled, he took out a shallow pan and first placed some chopped meat inside, stir-frying it slightly before adding eggs, then finally the rice…

The smell of fried rice immediately spread into the air.

Although the oil dregs were fragrant, it definitely couldn’t match up to this egg fried rice!

Xiong Ye finally understood why Zhou Ji hadn’t given him the oil dregs. There was so much tasty egg fried rice; why would he still want the oil dregs?

It was no wonder that Zhou Ji would use meat in exchange for this rice. It turned out that it was actually so tasty!

Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji began to eat happily, but the people of the Big Bear Tribe were all staring greedily at them. Even Hai Feng who had already eaten some oil dregs sidled close again.

However, Zhou Ji wasn’t as generous this time and didn’t share any with them. “You’ve all seen how egg fried rice is made. You can go and look for eggs, cook rice, and fry it up for yourself.”

He was willing to cook for himself and Xiong Ye, but everyone else should forget it. He had never been a very hardworking person.

After Zhou Ji finished eating, he no longer wanted to move.

Xiong Ye offered, “I’m going to wash the dishes… Zhou Ji, do you want to come with me?”

Zhou Ji stilled for a moment. In the past, Xiong Ye had always gone off to do things like wash dishes right away and had never asked him to come with him before… This time… Xiong Ye was asking him to go to the riverside? Zhou Ji immediately realized what was going on, “Alright”

Although he was lazy, he still very much looked forward to certain things and definitely wouldn’t find them troublesome!

He hadn’t done them before simply because he hadn’t found any opportunity to…

Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye found a river some distance away from the Grass Tribe and began to get intimate.

Grass Tribe.

The six giant crocodiles that had been brought back almost scared the people of the Grass Tribe into fainting, but they ultimately remained upright and conscious.

After determining that the crocodiles were dead, they even remembered that they needed to cut open the crocodiles’ bodies to remove the meat.

However, they couldn’t cut open the crocodiles. Their skin was too tough!

Fortunately, Zhu Zhan had gone over to help them cut up the skin. He had even started to chat with the tribal chief of the Grass Tribe, “We are from quite a long distance away and aren’t very clear on matters here. Can you tell me about what’s going on in the area?”

“Of course!” The tribal chief of the Grass Tribe didn’t hesitate to agree. He was quite short at one meter sixty while Zhu Zhan was over two meters tall… He was in awe of Zhu Zhan and was happy to talk to him.

Hai Feng had previously said that he was a Beast King, and although the people of the Grass Tribe had first been frightened, they had chosen not to believe it afterwards-Beast Kings were such noble existences; that Hai Feng absolutely couldn’t be a Beast King.

He guessed that Hai Feng must have only said that he was a Beast King because there was a problem with his brain.

However, even if he wasn’t a Beast King, he was at the very least still a medium level Beast Warrior. The person in front of him now was certainly one as well!
