When Parker and Bai Qingqing returned to the wooden house, the fire at the entrance had been extinguished, and a large part of the wolf meat had charred. After restarting the fire, Parker invited Bai Qingqing to eat the meat. “Quickly come over, some parts of it are ready to be eaten.”

Bai Qingqing, who was enthusiastically fiddling with the condiments, walked to the fire and asked with a slightly displeased look, “We’re going to eat it just like that?”

Parker cast a dubious look at Bai Qingqing. Then, he brought out a stone bowl containing white powder. “Of course we’re going to dip it in salt and eat. Why are you so stupid?”

Parker felt that she wasn’t merely stupid, but it also seemed like his female had a severe lack of common knowledge. She must have been reared in captivity by her tribe since young. It made sense though—she was so good looking, so she must have been cherished, and the food she ate was probably seasoned before being brought to her mouth.

Bai Qingqing stared at the salt bowl, stunned. Dip it in salt and eat… you think this is a dipping sauce?

Afraid Bai Qingqing didn’t understand what he was saying, Parker grabbed a slice of meat with his fingers that had sharp and tough nails. He dipped it in the salt, then brought it to Bai Qingqing’s mouth. “Here, eat it.”

Bai Qingqing swallowed her saliva and took a bite from it curiously.

Ugh, the meat was super dry. But even though Parker seemed to have dipped it in a lot of salt, the level of saltiness was actually just fine. Perhaps the purity of the salt wasn’t high. But the meat tasted better as she chewed it—there was a plant-like fragrance, not something you’d expect from meat.

“Why is there a fragrance to it?” Bai Qingqing didn’t believe that wolf meat itself carried a plant-like fragrance. Moreover, she had watched as Parker roasted the meat and hadn’t seen him add any seasonings to it.

Wait a minute. Parker had asked her what flavor she wanted. Could it be… that firewood?

Bai Qingqing looked at the fire, then glanced back at the firewood in the house.
