Chapter 185 - I Don’t Want This Privilege
Oakley was also shocked. He shook his head, “Of course not, you just need to preserve your own food.”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to ask, “Then why are you sending me the entire tribe’s food?”
Oakley chuckled, “You’re the First Beauty of our tribe, of course you have the priority to choose the food first. After you’re done selecting, it will be Nina, followed by Sandy and Maya.”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and gestured a hand motion to ask him to stop, “Why can Nina select the food first? Sandy and Maya are also females, they should also be protected and taken care of.”
Oakley blinked his eyes blankly and answered her, “Isn’t the sequence like this normally in the tribe? The First Beauty has the priority, then it will be complete females, followed by half-orc females and lastly cubs…”
Gu Mengmeng spat a ‘Tsk’ in dislike and then asked, “Does Saint Nazaire have cubs? Why didn’t I see any?”
Oakley’s head dropped as he said dejectedly, “We should originally have cubs but who knows what Nina was up to, she actually forced Quentin to smash her whole nest of eggs.”
Gu Mengmeng remembered this thing. Back then, Nina mentioned it before to Elvis and said that it was to prove that her fertility abilities were strong so she gave birth for Quentin. However, the former First Beauty of the tribe wanted to leave her first nest of babies for Elvis so she forced Quentin to smash her own nest of eggs himself.
Thinking about it, she was really quite psychotic. As the saying goes, even a monster would not hurt its own children, this Nina was really distorted.
Gu Mengmeng did not want to talk about Nina because she knew that her mouth would not say anything good about Nina and it was also not Gu Mengmeng’s style to badmouth one behind their backs. She would rather rebut them in their faces if there were any conflicts. Talking bad about someone behind their backs was really too low class.
Thus, Gu Mengmeng clapped her hands and said, “Since there are no cubs, single males can keep their own prey. Tomorrow, I’ll teach everyone how to preserve meat so that they can store them better. We should make use of the warm weather now to store more food so that we won’t go hungry in winter. As for the females, besides myself, the other three have their own males. They can ask their males to think of a solution for their food. Of course, I can’t control the pursuers of the females if they want to volunteer themselves to do everything the female pleases. But I don’t want this privilege.”
Barete and the two others looked at each other helplessly. All of them were so shocked by Gu Mengmeng’s words until they became speechless.
Taking care of the females in the tribe was originally a duty of males. Suddenly…
“I’ll be in charge of Xiaomeng’s food.” Elvis broke the silence at a suitable time as he scooped a bowl of meat and potatoes from the stone pot and gave it to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng received the food and start eating it in small bites. The potato was soft and smooth. The taste of it after adding salt was truly the best treasure on Earth.
Forgive her for living the past few days without salt. Her mouth was so f***ing bland and now as long as there was a bit of taste, they were all the best treasures on Earth.
Elvis tried a raw potato before and that taste was… yeah… very special.
He also tried the cooked one but he could only politely refuse to eat it again. He did not know why Xiaomeng liked such a weird thing but since the menu had an additional ingredient that could be stored and not easily go bad or rot for winter, it was still kind of great.
“Tomorrow, I’ll make a trip to the potato field with Collin to bring more potatoes for you,” Barete said.
At the same time, Collin was secretly trying to send an uncooked potato into his mouth and after being called on by Barete, he gave the potato in his hand to Gu Mengmeng with a red face. Then, he nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll go with Barete tomorrow.”
