Chapter 358: The Fire Tribe wanted to surprise the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Fighting has never been an easy task, whether it's fairies or humans.
After a fight, the best way to recover strength is by sleeping, followed by eating some food.
Since sleeping wasn't an option, they had to rely on eating to replenish their energy.
The Fire Tribe had good hunting abilities and caught a lot of meat. They generously gave most of it to Han Cheng and his group.
The Fire Tribe acted this way partly because of their leader's orders and gratitude towards Han Cheng's tribe for bringing them the valuable remedy. Another reason was the personal preferences of the women of the Fire Tribe.
Additionally, they wanted to see the surprised expressions on the faces of the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe when they ate the food.
This psychological satisfaction sometimes surpasses physical satisfaction, which is why many people choose to endure hardships. However, the Fire Tribe was disappointed because the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe didn't react as they expected.
The people from the Green Sparrow Tribe, accustomed to salted food, found it difficult to eat unsalted meat. Some even struggled to eat it.
Seeing this, some hot-tempered members of the Fire Tribe expressed their dissatisfaction, feeling offended that their hospitality wasn't appreciated.
They couldn't understand why the Green Sparrow Tribe members weren't impressed, thinking they must be used to feasting delicious food daily.
To demonstrate the taste of their food, some Fire Tribe members intentionally exaggerated their chewing movements.
However, the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe remained calm and unaffected. They were accustomed to a higher standard of living, especially when it came to food. They believed that they would be truly excited only when the Divine Child used his magical cooking skills.
"Divine Child..." Shang and the others spoke up, seeking permission.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
Han Cheng nodded, signaling for them to go ahead.
Shang led half the group to the riverside boat to fetch their food.
Han Cheng instructed them to bring the food he had prepared for the Fire Tribe.
Even the most skilled stone craftsmen in their tribe couldn't produce perfectly round stone balls. The difficulty level of creating these objects from stone was undoubtedly higher than making stone balls.
Watching the Fire Tribe members cautiously touch the pottery, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff in exasperation.
He wanted them to appreciate the food inside the jars. Yet, they were so captivated by the jars themselves that they ignored the food.
Encountering a situation like this, akin to throwing pearls to swine, might not have happened for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
What idiom would emerge if this were to be recorded as an amusing anecdote?
"Treasure in the trash"?
"Surprised by simplicity"?
Han Cheng chuckled at the thought.
Suddenly, a commotion and loud shouts from the Fire Tribe members interrupted his thoughts.
What's happening now?
That was his immediate thought.
He quickly focused his gaze to see a water-filled pottery jar overturned near the fire, spilling its contents and wetting a large patch of ground. The water was flowing downhill, carrying some bits of dry straw on its surface.
A pile of extinguished fire emitting white smoke was not far from the jar.
Standing nearby were Tie Tou and a few others, along with several bewildered members of the Fire Tribe.
What's going on here?
