Ch150 – Scheme

If soybeans were crushed into powder, added to water then boiled in a pot for a long time, it would result in soy milk.

Zhou Ji couldn’t make tofu and had never made tofu before, but he had made soy milk using a soy milk machine before, so he knew how to make it. He also knew that it had to be boiled several times.

Perhaps the soybeans had been crushed too finely, because there was no residue in the soy milk that he made. Only the strong scent of soybeans wafted out.

However, if it was cooked for too long, the taste would fade.

The pale, white soy milk was left in the pottery pot and looked very attractive. Xiong Ye spoke, “It’s the same color as nursing milk.”

Zhou Ji: “……” Xiong Ye really didn’t pay attention to decorum when he described things!

“Is it tasty to drink?” Xiong Ye continued. The food that Zhou Ji made was all delicious, but he didn’t know if it this thing would taste good when drunk…

“Yes.” Zhou Ji picked up a bowl and scooped up a bowl of soy milk. He added a spoonful of sugar into it before handing it to Xiong Ye to drink. Not very many people enjoyed drinking soy milk directly, but most people were able to adapt to the taste if sugar was added.

He believed that Xiong Ye who liked to eat sweet things, would definitely like it.

“Zhou Ji, let me try some.” Hai Feng came up and said, “Soybeans are obviously yellow, but they’ve turned into such a milky pale soup now… it looks really good.”

Zhou Ji gave Hai Feng a bowl of soy milk but without adding sugar.

The sugar he and Xiong Ye usually ate was extracted from the sweet cane. It required a lot of effort in order to obtain just a small amount… he didn’t give it out to others easily.

Hai Feng accepted the bowl and was full of expectations when he took a sip, but then he froze.

“Grandfather…” Xi Baobei leaned in.

Hai Feng handed the bowl of soy milk to Xi Baobei, “Baobei, have it.”

Xi Baobei also expectantly took a sip, then froze.

“Baobei…” The Rhinoceros Beast King glanced their way.

Xi Baobei gave the soymilk to his father and having learned from Hai Feng, said the same words, “Father, have it.”

The Rhinoceros Beast King was very happy to try all kinds of new and fresh food from the Big Bear Tribe and accepted the soy milk. He took a sip.

Hai Feng was waiting for him to show an expression of dislike, but unexpectedly, the Rhinoceros Beast King was pleasantly surprised, “The taste is not bad.”

The vegetable-loving Rhinoceros Beast King quite enjoyed the plain taste of soy milk.

“If the Rhinoceros Beast King likes it, have more.” Zhou Ji generously invited the Rhinoceros Beast King to drink with him.

He also didn’t mind the taste of plain soy milk, but others didn’t enjoy it. He and the Rhinoceros Beast King finished off the rest of the soy milk.

After the other Beast Kings had left, the Rhinoceros Beast King stayed behind again. It was obvious that he planned to live there.

It was impossible for him to go all the way back to investigate this matter now, but it was also impossible for those people to leave no trace after making a move against his son… The Rhinoceros Beast King had caught several people from the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe who were at the Beast God Temple and after interrogating them, he had learned some information.

For example, many people in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe were dissatisfied with his son.

They felt that since his son was a fool, he shouldn’t receive such good treatment and shouldn’t be able to enjoy so many benefits.

The Rhinoceros Beast King had found it funny when he heard about it.

The main reason why the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe could live so well now was because of him. Unlike the other Beast Kings who had sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters, he only had this one son… What was wrong with letting him enjoy himself more?

In fact, because his son was young and silly, he actually didn’t enjoy many things.

It might even be the case that the son of the tribal chief of their Giant Rhinoceros Tribe indulged in more of the pleasures of life than his own son––he had a whole pile of women.

Of course, this wasn’t the only reason why his son had almost died. If it was only due to dissatisfaction, those people certainly would have just waited until he was dead before treating his son badly or abandoning him.

These people made a move against his son because he’d been looking for a Beast God Fruit to give to his son to make his own child stronger.

It was unknown when it started, but there was a rumor in the tribe that he had already found a Beast God Fruit and would give it to his son when he grew stronger.

There was a ripple in the Rhinoceros Beast King’s heart when he heard about this rumor.

If they had only been dissatisfied with his son, those people would have no reason to make a move, but if there was this kind of rumor…

The current tribal chief of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had a degree of blood kinship with him. They had the same grandmother.

This kind of relationship was a little distant, but because his son’s situation was different from the rest, he took good care of the tribal chief and was also very good to his children. He hoped that they would take care of his son in turn.

Yet as a result, perhaps because he’d been too good to this person, he’d actually become greedy!

“He might be the one who made a move against Baobei!” The Rhinoceros Beast King’s expression was cold.

He often left the tribe to go looking for a Beast God Fruit. Every time when he went back, he would see that his son was still in good condition and would feel very grateful to the tribe. However, now he realized… his son might not have lived very well in the tribe.

The Rhinoceros Beast King was very indecisive. On one hand, he still had feelings for the tribe, and on the other hand, he really detested the tribe.

“What are you thinking of?” Zhou Ji asked.

“They took a lot of things from me. I plan to take it all back.” The Rhinoceros Beast King said.

“For example?”

“I want to take them to fight against someone else or something.” The Rhinoceros Beast King said, “For such a rumor to appear in the tribe, it must be related to the surrounding tribes as well. I’ll bring the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe to fight against them, and everyone will be done for by the end!”
