Chapter 226 The Power of the Lantern Chili Pepper
Chapter 226 The Power of the Lantern Chili Pepper
Little Black was still struggling with the grass fibers, while Little Turtle diligently guarded the fishing rod.
Yufei darted through the nearby woods, a scene of perfect harmony.
Viewers felt like they were watching two shows.
Yufei is on a lifestyle program, while on the other side... several people have run into each other, and tensions are high, but none of them want to make the first move.
The third person benefited, and for a moment, a strange sense of balance formed among the others.
However, they didn't have it as easy as Yufei. They just grabbed whatever food they could find to fill their stomachs and didn't bother to build a place to sleep for the night.
They're probably just planning to find any random place and sleep alongside their summoned beasts.
"Little turtle, here I come! Thank you for your hard work!" Yufei patted the little turtle that was intently watching the fishing rod and thanked it.
At the same time, she released the Vermilion Bird and arranged the wood.
"Little sparrow, help me start a fire!"
"Chirp~"
(I'm not Little Sparrow, I'm the famous Vermilion Bird clone! Since you've asked me for a favor, I'll reluctantly help you!)
"Okay! Thank you, Little Sparrow!"
……
Zhuque rolled her eyes inwardly, then resignedly went to start a fire for Yufei with a speechless expression.
What should I do? I chose this owner myself, even if they have a terrible personality, I still have to love them!
Yufei lifted the fishing line and looked... Hmm, the fish food was all gone, and the fish was nowhere to be found. She'd lost everything!
With fishing hope fading, she went to the fish basket area to see if there were any fish there.
She added her own contraband when she put the insects she caught into the fish basket.
Yufei still had confidence in the things in the space.
She arrived at the first fish basket.
Sure enough, there's something there: two palm-sized spotted crabs and a silverfish the size of an arm, locked in combat with the spotted crabs.
The silverfish was covered in wounds, large and small, inflicted by crab claws, and the two spotted crabs each lost a claw in the fight.
Seeing this, Yufei quickly separated them; otherwise, she might not be able to eat the fish.
After finishing, she went to check the second fish basket and was delighted to find it contained snakes! She didn't even have time to tell if the snakes were poisonous.
Startled, she quickly threw it away, patted her chest with lingering fear, and after a long period of mental preparation, headed to the third fish basket.
Starting with the second fish basket, it was as if Yufei had stirred up a snake pit; the third and fourth baskets were full of snakes.
Some viewers watching from her perspective were absolutely amused.
"Yufei is so unlucky! She's stirred up a snake pit! How come there are so many snakes?"
"Although the basket was thrown away quickly, I saw several different kinds of venomous snakes in the basket that flashed by!"
"Upstairs, are you sure you saw the snake? My condolences to Yufei, how is she going to sleep tonight! I'm worried she'll get poisoned in her sleep and die before she can even withdraw from the competition!"
"I used to think Yufei was really lucky, staying away from the battlefield and living a leisurely life. But now I feel like she's a bit unlucky."
"Let us mourn for her"
"Mourning for Yufei"
"Mourning for her +2"
"Mourning for her +3"
……
"Mourning for her + "
So we put several fish baskets into the lake, but only the first basket had fish in it. We had no choice but to make do with that one basket for now!
Yufei cooked the wild vegetables she picked from the jungle and the silverfish into a fish soup in the stone pot that Xiaohei had made with its claws.
It contained ginger and scallions similar to those found on Blue Star, and two spotted crabs were simply placed near the fire to be roasted.
After Xiaojun checked all three items, Yufei knew they weren't poisonous, and they were ready to eat them.
Yufei took a sip of the fish soup, and she felt comforted in her empty stomach.
So fresh!
It rivals the quality of sea fish from Blue Star, boasting a delicate texture with few bones, and virtually no fishy taste; the freshness is complemented by a hint of sweetness.
It doesn't need much seasoning to decorate it; this river fish is the best she's ever eaten, bar none.
After finishing the pot of fish, Yufei was only about four-tenths full. Then she opened two spotted crabs; crabs don't keep well and might spoil overnight.
"We'll worry about tomorrow's food tomorrow!" With that thought in mind, Yufei finished off two more spotted crabs, both of which were female.
This season is also perfect for eating crabs. Opening one reveals a generous amount of crab roe; it would be even more perfect with a bowl of noodles.
Yufei ate while thinking with a hint of regret.
After finishing her dinner, Yufei fetched a stone pot of water from the lake to boil some for dinner.
Meanwhile, Yufei asked the little turtle and the little sparrow to watch over the fire, and she took Little Black and disappeared into the jungle.
She had considered the questions the audience might have thought of: how could so many snakes appear in just a random fish basket thrown into the lake?
Even if Yufei suspected that the snakes were attracted by the food in her spatial dimension, it still meant that there were definitely a lot of snakes in this place.
She didn't want to be bitten while she was sleeping; she wanted to search the jungle for herbs she was familiar with that could repel mosquitoes and snakes.
Yufei searched around for a while, but most of the plants and animals in this world were different from what she knew.
There might be some Chinese herbal medicines similar to those on Earth, but Yufei didn't recognize them; there were also some things that Yufei could identify.
For example, this tree!
It was covered with bright red lantern-like things.
This... isn't it a bell pepper?
However, this fruit had no spicy smell whatsoever, so even so, Yufei didn't dare to touch it easily.
She thought for a moment, then used a large leaf to scoop up a bowl of water. Taking advantage of a secluded corner, she quickly replaced the water from the lake with water from her spatial dimension.
I carefully picked the fruit that looked like a chili pepper.
Better safe than sorry. It's better to be safe than sorry. What if it's the same variety of chili pepper as Blue Star and Lantern Chili, or even spicier than Yunnan Lantern Chili? She's afraid she won't be able to handle it.
But since there was no guinea pig here to test the spiciness for her, she had to come alone. Yufei kept mentally preparing herself.
I'm a girl from Hunan, and I'm not afraid of spicy food!
Xiao Jun determined it wasn't poisonous, and as long as it wasn't poisonous, it was edible! Yu Fei closed her eyes and took a bite of the tip of the bell pepper-like fruit.
Immediately afterward, Yufei realized that spiciness was a form of pain, a pain that pierced the heart and was beyond words.
Her lips instantly became red and swollen. Sensing something was wrong, Yufei immediately drank a mouthful of her spatial spring water.
Even so, Yufei still felt that she had lost all feeling in her mouth.
Clear water kept flowing from her mouth. Yufei felt that if she hadn't drunk the space water in time, she might have been the first contestant to die from the spiciness.
She was so embarrassed back then that she even made a fool of herself in another world!
Little did she know that she had already embarrassed herself in another world.
If she could see the chat in her live stream, she would definitely see a screen full of "hahahahaha" subtitles.
"Hahaha! My daughter Yufei looks so adorable in this picture!"
"Hahahaha! Those lips are so sexy! Is this the legendary sausage lips?"
"Haha! It's not just her lips, but also her slightly red, teary eyes. I can't help but laugh whenever I look at her!"
"If I'm guilty, punish me in some other way, not by making me laugh to death! What am I doing? I can't stop laughing! How could she dare to try a Devil Fruit?!"
