Chapter 161 What is Spicy?
Chapter 161 What is Spicy?
Miler patted the rice ball that was acting cute towards her, her eyes relaxing.
"That's great. My rice ball isn't anything special anymore, so I can take him out without worry."
"Eeya~" As if it could understand Miler's words, the rice ball smiled, its round eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, and happily circled around Miler.
Yufei, Lei Jun, and the others exchanged glances. They recognized giant pandas, that was true, but they weren't from this world. It seemed that besides Fantuan, there were very likely no other giant pandas in this world.
If their knowledge of giant pandas leads Miler to develop any incorrect perceptions, then they will be in grave danger.
"Milo, we also heard about giant pandas when we happened to pass by this place. Based on the description, this rice ball looks a lot like you."
"But as far as I know, this animal is very likely extinct, so yours might be the only one in the world." Yufei looked at Miler sympathetically and told him this white lie.
The main reason is that I don't want Miler and Rice Ball to be in danger because of them.
"Eeya~" After hearing Yufei's words, Rice Ball stopped spinning around and came to Miler. It placed one front paw on Miler's knee and looked at Miler sincerely.
As if afraid that Mi Le would be upset again if she heard Yu Fei's words, Mi Le absentmindedly stroked the rice ball for a few minutes, and then her cheerful smile returned to her face.
"I've made up my mind! I'm going to take Rice Ball out to meet people. Rice Ball is right, hiding like this forever isn't a solution. I'm not only taking it to meet people, I'm also taking it to the Pet Battle Cup."
Only by participating in the Pet Battle Cup will those who have designs on it dare not act rashly. I also have to trust Rice Ball; Rice Ball said it's much stronger than that Moon Elf."
"Huh? It can talk?" Yufei looked at the rice ball in surprise.
"Any summoned beast can communicate with you telepathically and talk to you. Rice Ball can definitely talk to me. Rice Ball told me before that I don't need to be afraid of it being captured because it's very strong. But I don't dare to take that risk. Rice Ball is my only family in this world."
Miler's energetic face dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal, and Rice Ball rubbed its chubby little face against Miler.
"Okay, I'm fine! Thanks for comforting me, Rice Ball." Miler patted Rice Ball's head and then looked at Yufei.
"By the way, Sister Yufei, where's your summoned beast? I haven't seen you release it in so long. Is it very aloof? Doesn't it always talk to you?"
Miler looked curiously towards Yufei's side, and at the same time, she realized that it seemed that apart from Sister Yufei, none of her companions had summoned beasts.
This was even more astonishing than her summoning of rice balls. Since her birth, everyone except those who hadn't reached the age to complete the summoning ritual had their own summoned beasts.
As if struck by a thought, she remembered that Yufei had just told her sister on the pedestrian street that it was their first time visiting this city. Could it be...?
"Sister Yufei, is there something wrong with the summoning circle you have?"
Miler believed she had the truth and confidently asked...
Yufei was brainstorming how to answer her question, but unexpectedly, Miler provided her own explanation.
She also went along with it, perfecting their identities as best she could, figuring she'd keep it a secret for as long as possible, and deal with the consequences when it became undeniable.
"We come from a small mountain village. None of the people in our village have summoned beasts. We've only heard our priestess say that when she was young, there were warriors like you."
Later, we encountered a problem. For some reason, no one was able to summon animals anymore. Now that I think about it, it must have been a problem with the formation we used to summon the animals.
Later, one day, the shrine maiden told me to come out and broaden my horizons. Then she selected Lei and the others from the clan to protect me, and kicked us out to train.
Yufei smiled shyly at Miler, who, with an "I know, I know" look on her face, took over the topic.
"Snoring...hehehe," Miler covered her stomach and chuckled sheepishly.
"Excuse me! I'm hungry!"
"It's our fault. We promised to treat you, but we haven't let you eat yet. Brother Lei, Sister Juan, we need to hurry up and prepare something."
After Yufei finished speaking, she took out self-heating rice from her dimensional pocket through her backpack, and the others quickly moved the stools to the dining table.
Lei also took out 11 bottles of mineral water and a large bottle of Coca-Cola from his backpack into his dimensional pocket.
"Milo, do you eat spicy food or not?" Yufei took out a portion of each flavor of self-heating rice, intending to share them with them, when she suddenly realized she didn't know if Milo could handle spicy food, so she asked.
"What's spicy?" Miler looked at Yufei with curiosity. Oh! She probably can't eat spicy food. Yufei thought for a moment and took out a self-heating meal of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Skillfully unpacking the package, pouring out rice, layering it with a vegetable packet containing scrambled eggs and tomatoes, then adding water to the bottom, stacking the layers neatly, closing the lid, and placing it next to Miler.
"Wait ten minutes," Yufei instructed Miler, telling her not to touch anything in front of her for ten minutes.
Mi Le was taken aback by Yu Fei's serious expression. She swallowed hard and nodded.
Once she realized what was happening, Chao Yufei asked again, "Sister Yufei, you still haven't told me what spicy is!"
Miler pouted, using this gesture to express her dissatisfaction with Yufei's neglect.
"Spicy~ It's a feeling, I'll let you experience it later." Yufei didn't seem to be able to explain what spiciness meant to Miler for the time being, as she was busy serving self-heating rice to the others.
While I was thinking about how to explain what spicy food meant to her, I also wanted her to experience it for herself so she could have a direct understanding of what spicy food is.
Yufei portioned herself spicy and sour chicken giblets. She had tried this self-heating rice at the wetland park base during the summer, and it was very spicy.
Although it's not as delicious as the stir-fried spicy and sour chicken giblets, it's definitely much better than the spicy and sour chicken giblets with self-heating rice from my previous life.
Waiting for the food to cook while hungry was an agonizing process. To distract herself, Miler went back to her shed, retrieved the rice ball's bowl, and prepared its lunch, which was somewhat similar to dog food.
"This is what it eats?" Gangzi, a native of Sichuan and Chongqing, looked disapprovingly at the rice ball that looked exactly like his giant panda suffering like this.
He ran up to Lei Jun.
"Boss! Get me some winter bamboo shoots, it should like them," Gangzi whispered to Lei Jun. Lei Jun would try his best to satisfy his brother's needs as long as it didn't violate any principles. He picked out two suitable bamboo shoots from the refrigerator and gave them to Gangzi.
"This is the best food I bought for Fantuan at the pet store," Miler grumbled, disgruntled, after hearing Gangzi complain about Fantuan's lunch.
Then, to her surprise, the person who had questioned her produced two strange items. The rice ball began to stir restlessly after he took out those items.
It looked just like the sycophantic little dog at Grandma Li's house next door when it was begging for food, whining and whining around that annoying person.
Fortunately, the person didn't make her rice ball wait too long; they washed the thing several times and gave it to the rice ball.
Miler had never seen a rice ball eat with such happiness and enjoyment, as if it was born to eat this.
"Dinner's ready! Let's eat!" Yufei glanced at her timed watch, called to everyone, and got ready to eat.
