"Captain, is there sothing wrong?" Lancer chuckled. "It’s just Celestial Capital, nothing could go wrong."
"Oh, it’s nothing, just thinking about so things," Simmons smiled, "We’ll be hosted by the Celestial Capital Canon Law School tonight, everyone can relax a bit and enjoy the exotic atmosphere."
"Haha, Captain, you have no idea how popular we are here. But I still think the girls of Moncalleta are prettier," Bucklera laughed.
All the team mbers nodded in agreent. The Moncalleta people love to travel and know how to enjoy life. Bucklera had an exceptionally strong build and brimming with masculine charm. There truly wasn’t an unattractive Moncalleta person.
This delegation from the Saint Grace Canon Law School consisted of nearly twenty people, with six of them being Spiritual Warriors: Simmons, Lancer, Bucklera, Aisenlock, Salana, and kro, all comrades who had fought with Simmons. The others were personnel from Hex-Tech and other fields. The team was led by Simmons. This trip to Celestial Capital wasn’t part of the original plan, but the conditions offered by the opponents were too tempting, and Simmons himself had so needs, so why not?
"Don’t get too complacent, I’ve discovered sothing. It’s not confird yet, but it might not be as easy as it seems this ti. Without ntioning others, we must give our all against Ironblood." Simmons said. If they encountered Ironblood, both he and Kazi would fight desperately. Whoever won would claim the honor; there’s no room for negotiations. He didn’t want to make wedding dresses for soone else, especially not for the Black teor people.
Everyone nodded in agreent. With other opponents, they could be laid-back, as the Moncalleta people are broad-minded and don’t take things too seriously, especially with such invitational tournants. As long as the host’s conditions were t, even acting wasn’t impossible.
But involving the Black teor people was a different story. The Moncalleta people and the Black teor people would never bow to each other when they t.
Simmons and the others changed into formal evening wear. The Moncalleta people were big on rituals, and before the arrival of the Black teor and the promoted Tess, he could explore a bit - that’s why he ca early. Being cautious in everything and understanding the situation in advance will always yield results, like this ti.
Luo Xue... It felt like she was hiding sothing. She probably saw Li Xin as a secret weapon, but from her attitude, it didn’t seem like she knew Li Xin’s situation.
Whether it was his delusion or sothing else, he had to find a chance to test it. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be a fool?
...
Li Xin slipped out of the city in the afternoon. It had been a long ti since he went hunting. Life in the Underground City was indeed difficult and chaotic at first, but after figuring out hunting strategies, life beca quite bearable.
The wild ga was indeed terribly hard to eat, and sotis poisonous. You could encounter all sorts of bizarre things, but he figured it out eventually. So of the tastes couldn’t even be compared to fresh beef. The so-called aristocratic style of eating, to be honest, didn’t impress him much, but Aunt Fei liked it, though she never said so, Li Xin could still tell.
Since coming to the city, he used up all his previous stock. He ought to show appreciation to his generous uncle, and also think of his distant aunt, who had helped him a lot since coming to the city. He couldn’t treat her as a fool; she was willing to help because she liked him. He shouldn’t take advantage and act ungrateful. His intentions are his intentions; he should express gratitude when needed.
Valuable things were out of the question; she didn’t lack any, and he had no money. But with wild ga, which he excelled at, he hadn’t had it for a while and missed it dearly. Now with a yard, inviting Kathy for a barbecue at ho would be great. Luo Jin was naturally invited, though whether Kathy could co wasn’t up to him.
Li Xin found the black cat and asked Qi Badao to have soone deliver the barbecue tools to his ho. Dammit, this black cat was as stingy as its master. They insisted on charging him a Lira to get the job done, refusing to accept anything else. Forget it, nothing could be lacking for a wild ga barbecue. He had seen the tools at the market; they were pricey. Savings could still be made wherever possible.
He hadn’t been to the outskirts in a long ti, and it felt really refreshing and free. He was familiar with this whole area, like it was his own territory. He had deliberately left behind a few wild ga spots and nests; the best tasting, of course, were the Charming Ear Rabbits and Pompoms. Especially the hind legs of the Pompoms, whether for barbecue or making ham, they were a true delicacy.
Thinking about it, Li Xin started craving them. His stock at ho was long gone. Arriving at a few Pompon nests, Li Xin’s pupils turned pale, and after a while, they reverted to normal.
Darn it, none were ho. They must be out showing off. No rush, this ti he planned to take them all. He would roast two in the evening, and with the cool weather, it was perfect to air-dry the rest to make smoked at. This season’s Pompoms were particularly rich in fat and tasted delicious.
The burrowing expert, with a blade of grass in his mouth, humd a tune, waiting for dinner to appear, hoping they’d return soon. He also had to go back to the city to buy so cumin and other seasonings. Celestial Capital’s culinary culture was quite impressive, possibly refined by Luthor, very complex and mixed.
A few hundred ters away, two big Pompoms, followed by four little ones, were hopping along rrily, looking very well-fed, headed back to their nest. Li Xin, from a tree, had spotted these little cuties, ready to nab them.
Soon, the Pompoms were hanging from a pole. Li Xin chopped so wood, these burn well with little smoke and are great for making charcoal. They used to burn this in the Underground City, but now in the city, they had better coals.
However, for barbecuing, the aromatic wood was still the best.
Roast the small Pompoms, and the big ones could be air-dried to make smoked ats. He also got two Charming Ear Rabbits. These things were exceptional. Though different worlds had different breeds, their taste was always supre. Charming Ear Rabbits were a favorite among the aristocracy, fetching very high market prices.
When he ca ho loaded with his catch, Aunt Fei had already prepared the side dishes, and Kathy widened her eyes at Li Xin’s haul.
"Did you go rob a house?"
"Wow, such cute little rabbits!" Xueyin joyfully exclaid, seeing the rabbits again.
Kathy’s eyes sparkled, "They are indeed adorable."
Li Xin was montarily stunned. Perhaps he should have prepared them before bringing them back to avoid affecting their appetite.
"Sister Kathy, these, these, are super delicious!" Lin Xueyin said excitedly. Compared to Pompon at, Charming Ear Rabbit was more flavorful and sweet.
Li Xin thought he might be in trouble; Kathy, a young lady like her, might not handle this.
"Really, I’ve always heard they are delicious. I must try so today!" Kathy laughed, then shot a glance at Li Xin, "What are you looking at? I told you, I’m a Night Patrol, a proper Night Patrol mber. I prefer mature bodies over any fascinating souls!"
"I like them too, sis. I’ll handle it imdiately." Li Xin gave a thumbs up, finding Sister Casey rather bold.
For so reason, Aunt Fei’s face flushed, and her long legs trembled slightly.
Kids growing up in the Underground City weren’t fussy. Charming Ear Rabbit was the best-tasting at Xueyin had ever eaten. It was fortunate that he hadn’t been there for a while; these creatures had let their guard down a bit.
Lin Fei, adept in her culinary preparations, skillfully got ready various side dishes and spices. Her back exuded maturity, while Kathy and Lin Xueyin took charge of setting up the barbecue tools. Li Xin went to the back to handle the wild ga, sothing he was very skilled at.
Soon, the Pompoms were prepared, segnted by parts. They definitely couldn’t eat them all today, so so had to be stored.
Then ca the lively barbecue party, "Will Uncle Luo co?"
"He hasn’t finished his work, and I have to return to the office after I’m done eating," Kathy pursed her lips. Luo Jin truly was always aloof. The last visit there was really a special occasion. Kathy thought he might bend the rules again, but no luck this ti. After eating, she planned to have a drink at the bar.
Li Xin nodded and began to arrange things. The courtyard was filled with laughter and cheer, the aroma of the food attracting the neighbors. But seeing Kathy, they didn’t dare disturb. Lin Fei gestured for Li Xin to grill so for the neighbors. They had plenty of at anyway.
Li Xin wasn’t familiar with them, but Lin Fei knew everyone well. Plates of delicately charred Pompom at were packed up, and the neighbors were very warm and polite, although Li Xin felt the old ladies were glancing at him strangely. So were even inquiring about Kathy. They all were quite gossipy.
The courtyard was filled with joyous laughter, and before long, Echo had stuffed her little belly round and full. In the city, the little girl’s complexion improved, and her skinny fra was gradually becoming normal, no longer akin to a scrawny orphan.
After Kathy finished eating, she left, saying she had to go back to work.
Li Xin and Lin Fei exchanged knowing glances and did not try to persuade her. Just as relieved, Xueyin quickly wilted again, as Lin Fei took her away for study. According to the teacher, this little girl was clever but not using her smarts in the right way, always aiming to be a leader instead of focusing on learning.
After tidying things up, Li Xin returned to his room. During the al, Kathy ntioned the city guard had begun their investigation. The stolen goods, once tracked, are never hard to find. It depends if the city guard wants to seek them out. Investigating and cracking down on such theft is done through usual channels, although if certain matters are rather serious, they’d have to take so asures, both forced and coaxing.
Due to Luo Jin’s involvent, Kathy was very serious, though she didn’t know much about Hex-Tech. Indeed, most people only used Hex-Tech and were not interested in its principles or structures.
The room had already been tidied up by Aunt Fei, carrying a faint fragrance. The blanket slled of sunlight, and Li Xin leisurely flipped through a book about Luthor.
This person held high esteem in Cerulean Dragon. Innovators like him were often purged from history after leaving. However, Luthor maintained significant prestige in Cerulean Dragon.
