Chapter 397: Targeting

The man peered at the pot for a long time, but he could not figure out what was cooking inside it. He could only raise his head and turn his attention to the young mer, who had ordered a bowl from the big bear tribe. He could only hope that the big bear tribe was messing around, or else he and the rest of the members of the tribe who followed Wang Ruoqiu would be in for a tough time.

However, the man’s hopes were doomed to be dashed. With Ruan Chanchan taking care of everything, the chances of anything going wrong were close to nil.

Lu Ye also sensed that there were many gazes looking at him, and he could not help but be speechless. What was going on? He was just eating something. Why was everyone looking at him as if he were doing some kind of miraculous thing? Suddenly, he could not help but feel a bit troubled. However, now that he was up on the stage, there was nothing he could do. He could only grit his teeth and take a bite of the instant noodles.

Boom!

As soon as he took a bite, Lu Ye felt an explosion of flavours and warmth in his mouth. He, who had only eaten raw meat throughout his life, felt like he was eating something ethereal. If not for the fact that he was eating the instant noodles, he would have never believed that there was such a delicious thing in this world. Instinctively, his pace increased, and he started to eat the instant noodles faster than ever.

"Hey, it looks like this thing is really good."

"Are you sure? I don’t think there could be anything good in the big bear tribe."

"Yeah, last year they stole the idea of the black snake tribe."

"But looking at it...it seems like the thing that they are selling is not something that I have seen."

Listening to the comments of the people, Ruan Chanchan curled her lips. She covered her mouth and shouted, "Come and try! Instant noodles! A speciality of the big bear tribe. If you miss it this time around, who knows? You might have to wait for another year before you can try it again. Take advantage of the free samples and decide whether you want to eat or not. They are completely free! Free! Free!"

Ruan Chanchan used the inner energy that she had collected after meditating and cultivating for months. Though she could only make her voice loud, it was still better than nothing.

As soon as Ruan Chanchan finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers looked at one another and then rushed to the stall. If it were free, then they might as well try it! Ruan Zeqiu, who was in charge of handing out the samples, was speechless. It was a good thing that he was a totem warrior, or else these people would have stomped him into bits. He pushed and fought before coming back inside the stall.

"You go." He handed the tray to Ye Qian Qian. "I cannot handle this crowd." He was going to get snapped in two if he continued to stay with them.

Ye Qian Qian: "..."

She was speechless.

Since when did Ruan Zeqiu become so delicate? He actually stepped down so easily? However, when she thought of how this mer was the object of her desire, Ye Qian Qian smiled at once and nodded. "Alright, I will deal with them."

When she stepped out of the stall, she was filled with confidence, and that only lasted until she turned and looked at the crowd that was looking at her as if they were a bunch of hyenas and she was just a little rabbit.

Ye Qian Qian: "...." Mommy.

Now she understood why Ruan Zeqiu handed her this job instead. She cursed the mer for being sly but still tried to smile at the customers. "Alright, come one by one—AHHHH! RUAN ZEQIU!"

Ruan Zeqiu, who was being remembered, hid behind Aunt Ye and sipped on the soup of the instant noodles. He had gone through this torment the entire morning; Ye Qian Qian could suffer a little as well.

Aunt Ye looked at the little mer and then turned her attention to her daughter, who was almost being ripped apart. Suddenly, she had a feeling that her daughter was going to be fooled by this little minx all her life, and she could not help but mourn for her stupid daughter. This girl, she really did not know what was good for her.

Ruan Chanchan also knew what was going on, but she was so busy dealing with the customers that she had no time to worry about the one at the back end. She could only smile and greet the customers with a smile on her face and hope for the best.

On the other side, the man who had finished a bowl of instant noodles burped satisfactorily and returned to the stall set up by the black snake tribe.

"So? Did you have fun?" Wang Ruoqiu had been waiting for a while, but the man never returned. Seeing the greasy mouth, what else could she not understand? While she was sitting on thorns here, this man was eating a lavish meal!

"Ahem!" The man was stunned, and it was only when he saw his chief that he recalled the task that was given to him. He flushed red in the face and then said to his chief, "Chief, it’s not that I was having fun. In fact, I infiltrated deep into the enemy base and finally found out what they are selling."

"What? What is it?" Though Wang Ruoqiu was dissatisfied with the man, he was the only one who knew the answer to her question.

"Instant noodles."

Instant...noodles?

Wang Ruoqiu frowned. She had never heard of such a thing before. Was this some kind of special beast that was hunted down?

"What is it?"

"That ...I don’t know."
