Hearing Black Emperor's greeting and seeing his sidelong gaze, Xu Yue smiled in pleasant surprise.
"You guys really did it. Where did you find such a fat dog demon? Have you got the hotpot seasonings ready? It's time to show off my skills."
Hearing Xu Yue's words, Black Emperor flew into a rage.
Yet before he could retort, he suddenly discovered in horror that a fleeting trace of hesitation had appeared on Ye Fan's face.
Though Ye Fan ultimately refused in righteous terms, you definitely hesitated just now, didn't you?!
You hesitated, didn't you?!
You actually hesitated over whether to eat me?!
I misjudged you! You beast!
"That wouldn't be right. Black Emperor and I are friends, and this Black Dog has helped me a lot. I'll get the seasonings ready for you in no time. I'll go buy another dog."
After rejecting Xu Yue, Ye Fan suggested that he go buy a meat dog instead.
This was Yan Capital, a mortal nation. Ingredients were rather easy to find.
The only reason he had hesitated was instinct. Instinctively, he had recalled Xu Yue's cooking back on Zhuo Peak.
Whenever he remembered that taste, he could not help drooling.
It was only natural for him to pause. In that brief moment, an image of Black Emperor becoming dog-meat hotpot had flashed through his mind. That was understandable, wasn't it?
Even now, when he looked at Black Emperor, he seemed to smell Sichuan peppercorns on him. That was purely instinctive too.
There was absolutely no ill intent. After all, he was a friend Ye Fan acknowledged!
"Ye Fan! What do you mean?! You're actually planning to specifically buy a dog!"
"Who are you putting on this act for?!"
"I'm telling you, if you don't throw him out today, it's him or me!
