Under such circumstances, to be beckoned over by Yi Yun in front of so many people of the Lian tribal clan made Zhou Xiaoke extremely nervous.
Yi Yun laughed, “Xiaoke, come over. I have something for you.”
Zhou Xiaoke blankly looked at Yi Yun’s face. Zhou Xiaoke saw that familiar innocent smile that had been absent for a long time.
This smile made Zhou Xiaoke realize that Brother Yi Yun had not changed. He had never changed. Even after he had become a Kingdom Knight, he was still her favorite Brother Yi Yun.
“Oh!?” Zhou Xiaoke laughed. Dimples appeared at the corner of her mouth. She nodded and cheerfully ran towards Yi Yun, grabbing his hand.
“Brother Yi Yun!”
Beside Yi Yun, Zhou Xiaoke was not nervous. Yi Yun’s hands were smooth but strong. Zhou Xiaoke felt a sense of security, as if the cold and hunger was nothing with Yi Yun around.
“Xiaoke, this is for you.” Yi Yun took out a bag. It was a cloth bag that emitted hot steam.
Xiaoke was stunned and sluggishly took the cloth bag. She did not open it, but she could smell the fragrance of food from within.
“This…” Zhou Xiaoke was stunned.
“Open it up,” Yi Yun said with a smile. This was specially roasted by him for Zhou Xiaoke just before he reached the village. Although he had brought back a lot of food, he guessed that Aunt Wang’s family was starving. So it was better to cook the food first.
And in the vast wilderness which lacked food ingredients, Aunt Wang’s culinary skills was definitely not as good as his.
Zhou Xiaoke swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She opened the cloth bag carefully. Inside it was a bundle wrapped in a green lotus leaf. Opening up the lotus leaf, what greeted Zhou Xiaoke was red roasted meat. It weighed about three to four pounds.
This was leg of the Seven Colored Deer chosen specially by Yi Yun. The meat of the Seven Colored Deer was delicious. The marbling on the meat was of the utmost quality. Although it was all lean meat, it was rich in fat. It was very fragrant when baked.
Yi Yun had prepared and marinated the meat previously. When he roasted it, he had basted it with honey, making it extremely appetizing.
Beside the roasted meat, there were rice balls wrapped in green vegetables. The aroma assaulted the nostrils.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoke nearly swallowed her tongue. The surrounding people also stared!
Even the tribal elders were in a daze. They could not help but stare unblinkingly at the roasted meat in Zhou Xiaoke’s hands. Their saliva nearly flowed out.
