Chapter 344 - I’ll Pester You!
Restless Continent? Could it be that the Restless Continent was rather famous, seeing how confident they were?
“We’re from the Yilin Continent.” Wei Zi Qi answered.
“Yilin Continent?” Guo Pei Pei and group looked at Wei Zi Qi and the rest, surprised. “Are you guys really from the Yilin Continent?”
“That’s right, what’s the matter?” Sima You Yue could not understand the reason for their shock.
“From when the Little Realm appeared, we have never come across anyone from the Yilin Continent.” Guo Pei Pei smiled, saying. “You guys are probably the first in a few ten thousands of years to come to the Little Realm! So we’re a little flabbergasted, please don’t be offended.”
Sima You Yue nodded at them. Indeed, they had never been to the Little Realm.
“What are your names?” Guo Pei Pei asked.
“I’m Wei Zi Qi.” He introduced himself, and then went one round to introduce Sima You Yue and the rest. Guo Pei Pei also introduced her people to them. The chubby one who was drooling at the sight of the cooked food was called Guo Liang, and he was Guo Pei Pei’s beloved younger brother. Guo Pei Pei looked at Guo Liang’s behaviours, and knocked him lightly on the head.
“Why did you hit me, Sister?” Guo Liang rubbed his head, staring at Guo Pei Pei.
Guo Pei Pei frowned, yelling, “Swallow your saliva, you’re embarrassing me!”
Guo Liang was displeased, but he held back his unhappiness and turned to smile affectionately at the people who were cooking, saying, “You Yue, this, this…”
Sima You Yue looked at him and smiled, asking, “You wish to eat some?”
Guo Liang nodded fiercely, unable to take his eyes off the roasted meat.
Guo Pei Pei held unto Guo Liang, saying, “This brother of mine really loves eating, please don’t mind him.”
“That’s alright, we all love to eat.” Wei Zi Qi said.
“We do have some food that’s in excess, you all can join us, but if you want more, you will have to make it on your own.” Sima You Yue said.
So it was normal after all! She used to think that her appetite was out of the ordinary, but the more she interacted with others, the more she realised that most people also enjoyed eating.
“Alright, alright! The way you have roasted this meat is rather particular! Can you teach me?” Guo Liang ran over to ask Sima You Yue upon hearing what she had said.
“Sure.” Sima You Yue nodded as she proceeded to put the meat that was already roasted into the pot, and waited for Guo Liang to come to her place so that he could watch Beigong Tang roast the meat, while she pointed out to him what condiments to add, or when to flip over the meat. Guo Liang was definitely good with food, because this skill was not easy to pick up, but he was able to catch the skills naturally and familiarise himself with them quickly. It was almost comparable with Fatty Qu’s talent. When Sima You Yue noted that he had learnt most of the skills, she moved to the side to continue eating her roasted meets, and also passed the plate of roasted meat around to the others.
Guo Pei Pei was initially a little hesitant, but after she had a bite of the roasted meat, all of her hesitations disappeared and she ate heartily. The rest of the members of the Guo family followed her lead also proceeded to partake of the roasted meat.
“At times like this, how can we not have some good wine?” Fatty Qu said and took out flasks and flasks of wine, and each person took a flask and started to drink some wine.
Beigong Tang glanced over at Sima You Yue, who was standing idly at the side enjoying her meal. My, can this punk slack off.
Guo Lang saw that everyone was eating happily and shouted out, “Leave me some too! I haven’t had any yet!”
Wei Qi Zi laughed, and put down her flask to come by Guo Liang’s side, saying, “Let me take over.”
“Alright.” Guo Liang passed the meat he was roasting to Wei Zi Qi, and went back to his previous seat continued to drink from the flask Wei Zi Qi had previously drank from, not caring that Wei Zi Qi had previously taken some wine from it.
Ouyang Fei also stood up, coming to Beigong Tang’s meat rack, saying, “You go rest, I’ll do it.”
“Alright.” Beigong Tang did not really wish to continue roasting meat, so he left his position to Ouyang Fei, and joined the group.
“You Yue, I do wish to eat some meat porridge.” Beigong Tang said, unhappy that Sima You Yue had left first.
Sima You Yue put the meat she was holding down, and took out the cooking equipment to start making porridge. Because they had been eating meat so much of late, she was also getting sick of it, and they were only eating meat today because the three large men had expressed a desire to have meat.
Guo Liang saw that Sima You Yue had such equipment, and said, “These are all spirit instruments, if you use them for cooking they would definitely make the food taste even better! Why hadn’t I thought of that sooner?”
Guo Pei Pei looked at him incredulously, saying, “When have you ever seen Alchemy masters use such equipment before?”
“You’re right..” Guo Liang scratched his head saying. “Those Armament Masters have all gone up, if I wanted them to alchemise these kinds of things, it would be like speaking into the void. Unless the Armament Masters in the Yilin Continent are able to buy and sell such things… You Yue, where did you get your spirit equipment?”
“Our Armament Masters are the same, how could they create these things?” Sima You Yue said.
“Then where did you get these from?” Guo Liang asked.
“Fatty Qu made them.” Sima You Yue replied. “It’s all because he is a glutton, so he becomes extremely enthusiastic when it comes to the making of these things.”
Everyone laughed at Sima You Yue’s remarks, saying, “I guess Fatty Qu is an Armament Master with little resolve.”
Fatty Qu said, unbothered and still having his wine, said, “This is called applying what you have learnt, and this is what You Yue taught me.”
“Then Fatty Qu, you should make some for me too!” Guo Liang said. “Don’t worry, I will definitely make it up to you!”
“Wait till I’m less busy, then.” Fatty Qu said, not rejecting his request. But they were here on a mission to look for opportunities, where would they find the time, really?
“Fatty Qu, what about all the things you made last time?” Wei Zi Qi asked.
“In the past? Those aren’t worth mentioning at all.” Fatty Qu replied.
He was still a very principled person. How could one parade around things that were not made to an acceptable standard?
“So you have more stuff, Fatty Qu!” Guo Liang looked at Fatty Qu, saying. “Since you have some inventory, sell me some! Just in case you don’t have the time to make something for me, I can’t just miss out on things made by an Armament Master!”
Fatty Qu was pestered by Guo Liang for a long time before he took out some equipment. All of which were meant for cooking, such as meat racks and the like. All those things were items he had made for Sima You Yue, but because they weren’t great, he made new ones when he had refined his skills to make better equipment. For this to happen, Sima You Yue and the rest would always joke about whether or not they would finally see a day where they would be able to use his equipment to feed them all. When Guo Liang saw all the equipment, he got extremely excited, touching and admiring everything, his mouth hanging loose in admiration.
“Fatty Qu, I want them all, how much will you sell them for?”
Fatty Qu shook his head, saying, “But I’m not selling these.”
The moment he said that, Guo Liang became extremely anxious. “Fatty Qu, how could you not sell them! No, if you won’t sell them to me, then I will pester you until you do! From you eating, drinking, sleeping and even any single move, I will pester you endlessly all the way!”
