Chapter 146 - 146: The Problem Was Solved By A Chicken Butt?
Robert saw a little Marshal coming toward them and immediately became alert. What will happen next?
Although he was thinking hard his hands did not stop as he continued to bake the chicken that the Bird Emperor found.
As there were no condiments he looked for supporting ingredients in the surroundings but sadly he did not find anything that's why he could only bake chicken like this.
Although the taste would not be good it's still alright. At Least it's better than uncooked raw food.
When Little Marshal was near them he greeted him with a smile, "You are here! Since we were waiting I thought it was better to cook something and fill up the stomach. Would you like to join us?"
The Little Marshal outrightly wanted to reject this offer. Joke! Why would he eat their food?
But when he was near them he smelled a delicious aroma from the baked chicken. It's the type of aroma he has never smelled before thus his original decision was shaken.
Well, it wouldn't hurt if I tried the food, Right? It can be treated as compensation for their rude behavior, Right? I can take revenge after eating their food that would be more humiliating, Right?
Not only did I give them a rubbish reward but I also ate their food! It would be perfect. The little marshal thought to himself and felt that this idea was feasible.
"Well… alright." The Little Marshal agreed to their offer with a reluctant expression.
"Okay then." Robert was overjoyed after he heard Little Marshal. The fish- No the crocodile is hooked!
He thought that he needed to persuade him to eat food but it was easier than he expected. Which saved him a lot of trouble.
He glanced at the Bird Emperor and saw him looking at the roasted chicken. Seeing this he was relieved, At least he will not mess things up.
He took out a piece of the leaf which he collected from nearby trees and placed the whole chicken on it. Since there was no knife he toured the chicken with his hands.
He knew that the taste of the chicken would not be that good. That's why he took a small section for himself and gave a slightly bigger section to Bird Emperor and then he gave the remaining chicken to Little Marshal.
The Little Marshal was overjoyed seeing this and he looked at Robert with appreciation. You are sensible.
Although this was an unequal distribution he was not affected by it. Rather he likes this very much though it would be more good if there was no share for that stupid bird.
The Bird Emperor looked at his share and then at the share of the Crocodile and was dissatisfied but he did not raise any objection and ate his share obediently.
Robert was even more relieved seeing that the Bird Emperor did not make any fuss. As long as the unpleasantness between them is solved then all the efforts would not go to the drain.
Since everything is alright he decided to start with his share. Although it might not taste good, it's not a good habit to waste food.
But when he glanced down his expression stiffened. Previously in hurry, he did not pay any attention to his share but now after looking carefully, he realized that his share is nothing but…
..chicken but? Does he need to eat this stuff? Robert was very resistant to this idea. It's not that he is picky but he never liked to eat this part. In a previous life, some enthusiasts liked to eat this part but he is not one of them.
'So what should I do?' Robert thought to himself in confusion. He can't just throw the food right? It's best not to waste the food.
He raised his head and looked at two guys munching at their share happily and had an idea.
'They look so hungry! I should give them my share. By rating my share they could at least fill up their stomach.' Robert thought to himself as he placed the chicken but in the Emperor's share.
Out of the two, the Bird Emperor was the best choice.
The Bird Emperor was surprised to see Robert's action and looked at him with inquiry in his eyes.
All he saw was Robert looking at him with enthusiasm and encouragement. Suddenly he realized something and nodded in understanding.
Robert was surprised and happy at the same time. Looks like Bird Emperor is still reliable at the critical juncture, As he is willing to eat his share.
But Robert was not happy for long as in front of his stunned gaze The Bird Emperor picked up the chicken and gave it to Little Marshal.
"Little guy! Take this, Previously I teased you so take this as compensation." The Bird Emperor looked at the Little Marshal with a sincere expression and said this. He realized Robert's intention. He should take this chance to apologize to Little Marshal and ease their conflict.
The Little Marshal was unhappy because he was interrupted by a Stupid bird but when he heard his sentence and looked at the extra piece of chicken in front of him all unhappiness disappeared.
He looked at the chicken piece and then at Bird Emperor's sincere expression and didn't know what to say.
In the end, he replied stiffly, "Well… it's okay!"
Although there was some unhappiness between them before, since he is sincerely apologizing then there is no need to make any fuss. And he is getting more chicken too! Which makes him happier!
Therefore he ate the chicken piece given to him by the Bird Emperor.
"Good! You are straightforward and I like that. Come on, take some more.'" The Bird emperor was overjoyed seeing this as he knew that plan had worked and their relationship was most likely eased. But to show his sincerity he painfully gave another piece of chicken from his share.
"No! It's alright. I have enough.'' The Little Marshal said in embarrassment. He has the biggest share among the three of them so he felt embarrassed to take more.
"Don't be shy. Take it as compensation. I like your personality so we can be friends in the future.'" The Bird Emperor said magnanimously which moved Little Marshal so he accepted another part of the chicken.
If he declines again then it would appear hypocritical. The Bird Emperor was satisfied seeing the result as he looked at Robert with a proud expression.
'Look I did great, right?'
Robert sat there with an unnatural expression as he saw the whole process.
How to say… Although it appeared weird at least their purpose was achieved.
Looking at the Bird Emperor's proud expression Robert didn't know what to say. Although the process was different the result was the same as they removed the hostility of the other party.
All he can say is that Little Marshal has a weird taste.
"Hmm, Although I have eaten many good things, this was something special." After he finished his share the Little Marshal said in satisfaction.
"My father said that many humans use Fire to cook their food. Though most spiritual beasts did not adopt the same practice and wanted raw food. Thinking that raw food tastes better than cooked food."
"But today this changed my mind. Cooked food has its own merits. It's warm and makes food crispy and juicy. It adds another special taste to it."
"But its shortcomings is that it can only be used to refresh the taste bud. It has no major effect on cultivation.
For example, The Meat of Parrie Yak contains a lot of spiritual energy and it's very soft and tastes good. If the meat of parrie Yak is cooked then the taste would be better but the spiritual energy would be lost which is a major drawback.'
"This is the main reason why most of the spiritual creatures eat raw food. As it's very helpful in cultivation, I have from my father that in the alliance many people know how to cook food but it's not that popular and most Spiritual beasts ignore it!"
"I have also heard that humans have a way to cook food while retaining its spiritual energy though it can't be used by Spiritual creatures as it is very tedious and the spiritual creatures are unwilling to adopt human methods….Tsk I wanted to try that method." The Little Marshal said regretfully
On the other hand, Robert and the Bird Emperor were stunned. Weren't we eating? Why did you start giving reviews about the food?
Robert now understands that this Little Crocodile is a chatterbox and is a curious spirit.
From his words, he understands many things and he got a lot of information….
Cooked food can't be used for cultivation? Isn't this their selling point? Their food has a supporting effect on cultivation!
Is it possible to attract this guy based on this? Robert was tempted just thinking about this. After All this guy is at least at Spirit Realm….
But it depends on how they draw him towards their side….
Robert looked at the Bird Emperor and later understood his intentions.
"What are you talking about? Why can't cooked food help in cultivation?"
"Others can't but Taotie Restaurant can!"
So another round of flickering was started….
