Drinking Soup (1)

"Okay, I swear, I swear if I ever knew archery, may I be struck by lightning!" Ye Lang swore, confident in his words because he had never actually practiced it.

"You really haven't studied it?" Seeing Ye Lang swear, Li Yue began to waver.

"Okay!" Ye Lang nodded.

"Then you really are a genius among geniuses!" Li Yue said.

"Of course!" Ye Lang accepted the compliment without batting an eye.

"You're shameless! Alright, let's deal with this Dire Wolf first..." Li Yue stopped dwelling on those issues; the real problem was the Dire Wolf that had been hunted down. How to deal with it was another matter.

"It's very simple. Peel off its skin, then dig out its magic core. Next, remove its internal organs, and stew the meat," Ye Lang said, but he didn't actually intend to do anything.

"Okay!" Li Yue nodded, then looked at Ye Lang. At this moment, Ye Lang and Li Yue had already arrived at the side of the Dire Wolf.

"We hunted this wolf, so cooking its meat won't be considered breaking the rules, right?" Ye Lang said.

"No, any prey hunted during this period doesn't count!" Li Yue continued, looking at Ye Lang.

"That's for the best. This wolf meat will last us a long time. Hurry up and get started, don't waste your youth," Ye Lang said, staring at the Dire Wolf.

"Make a move? You mean you want me to make a move?" Li Yue asked Ye Lang.

"Nonsense, if it wasn't you, was it me? Hurry up, you're Li Yue, you're an expert on this." Ye Lang replied directly, seemingly oblivious to the underlying issue.

"You're asking me to do it, what about you?" Li Yue continued to look at Ye Lang.

"I'll watch you do it. If there are any problems, I'll tell you. Hurry up and get started!" Ye Lang said matter-of-factly.

"Are you pursuing me?" Li Yue looked at Ye Lang with a strange expression.

"Yes, I'm pursuing you!" Ye Lang was a little confused. What did this have to do with pursuing someone?

"Since you're pursuing me, you should be the one doing this. How can you let a girl do something like this? Even if you weren't pursuing me, you shouldn't be making me do this!" Li Yue said irritably. This guy was really something, making me do things while he just watched.

"Is there a problem with this? I'm not very familiar with this. It used to be done by other people, including some girls." Ye Lang was puzzled.

In the past, how could Young Master Ye Lang possibly do it himself? He had many subordinates, and Tiger Girl Zhen Xiaoyan and others would also help him handle things, so he wouldn't have the chance to do it himself.

"You silly boy, of course you should do this. You need to be a gentleman in front of girls." Cold-Blooded Fifth couldn't stand it anymore. If she could, she really wanted to jump out and hit Ye Lang.

"I'm not a gentleman! Little Five, I remember you were the one who did this kind of thing before. Why can you do it but she can't?" Ye Lang replied.

"Idiot, I am me, she is her, are we the same?" Cold-Blooded Fifth said irritably.

"It's different! You're one of us, she's an outsider, yeah, that should be it." Ye Lang nodded, seemingly understanding.

Seeing Ye Lang's words, Cold-Blooded Fifth felt a little more at peace. He realized that all his hard work was worthwhile, at least he was one of their own.

"Alright, let me do it!" Ye Lang had no choice but to take matters into his own hands at this point. He originally wanted to take out a tool from his Space Ring, but he seemed to realize that it would be troublesome if he took out the tool himself.

Because this tool was an alchemical tool he made himself, it could potentially cause some unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Ye Lang could only take out a very ordinary dagger. This dagger was indeed very ordinary, a standard type. Ye Lang had just bought it casually, and he had more than a dozen of them in his Space Ring.

However, although it is said to be ordinary and nothing special, the things that Ye Lang, Prodigal Son, buys are usually not too bad. The workmanship and materials of this dagger are first-class, and it looks very sharp with a cold gleam.

Ye Lang dragged the Dire Wolf to the stream, and then quickly dismembered the Dire Wolf, which was bigger than an ox!

"... Were you a butcher before?" Li Yue was stunned when she saw this.

"No!" Ye Lang naturally denied it. How could he possibly become a butcher? Even if he were willing, no one else would be.

"Have you done this kind of thing often before?" Li Yue asked again.

"No, it's the first time!" Ye Lang replied.

"Are you going to lie to me again?" Li Yue looked at her with a "I don't believe you" expression.

"I'm not lying to you, this is really my first time. I've always had others do it for me before, I don't need to lift a finger," Ye Lang replied, washing his hands, which made the stream turn a light red, but the stream quickly returned to its clear state.

Li Yue naturally believed Ye Lang's later words. How could a young master of a Lineage need to take action? But his earlier words were unbelievable. He was so skilled on his first try. Did he say he was a genius among geniuses?

"You're not going to say you're a genius again, are you?!"

"You could say that, but I've seen it so many times that I naturally know how! It's not like I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs being slaughtered..." Ye Lang said.

"... That's because you've never eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run around!" Li Yue corrected.

"Oh, that's about right, that's about it!" Ye Lang nodded.

"..." Li Yue felt that something was off about what he said, but she didn't investigate further because there was no need to.

Ye Lang set up a wooden frame, placed a large pot on it, and threw the wolf meat in to stew. He simply added some water, salt, and garlic; nothing else. This was Ye Lang's first time cooking in this world, although he had seen it done many times before and knew a little bit from his previous life.

Speaking of the large pot of salt and garlic, it was all prepared by Li Yue. She also prepared a lot of seasonings, but Ye Lang didn't use them because he didn't know how to use complicated seasonings; he only knew how to use simple ones.

Because of what was said before, Ye Lang felt that he should do this himself, so he didn't ask Li Yue to come!

Actually, although Li Yue wasn't very good at cooking, she knew a little bit, especially how to cook food outdoors, as she had received special training.

At least he's better!

Seeing Ye Lang's actions, Li Yue felt that she was probably no worse than Ye Lang.

How many points would you give this?

Ye Lang hummed a tune as he stewed the wolf meat, seemingly quite content. The tune was very ordinary, the kind popular on the mainland, and there was nothing strange about it to Li Yue.

"Dire Wolf, Level 7 Devil Beast, five points!" Li Yue replied.
