Chapter 455: Chapter 456: Can’t Stop
Wen Jue was half-convinced, half-doubtful.
He remembered the time back in Tiger Valley when Ye Qiao had first found chili peppers and excitedly said she wanted to make hotpot.
Thinking of the taste back then, Wen Jue couldn’t help but shudder!
At that time, nobody in the clan knew what hotpot was. Everyone wanted to eat it together, but many people were unwilling to have another bite after the first one due to the burning sensation on their tongues.
But what did Ye Qiao say?
She said, "Eat it, eat it. The thing about hotpot is, the more you eat, the richer the flavor, the better it gets!"
After one meal of hotpot, the whole White Tiger Clan suffered from diarrhea for three full days! Most pitifully, there wasn’t even a doctor in their tribe.
Now, looking at the hotpot in front of him, he felt somewhat resistant, but seeing everyone else eating with such relish and knowing that the taste was indeed different from Ye Qiao’s, he felt a nascent urge to join in.
Su Tang picked up a slice of meat from the red soup hotpot with chopsticks and handed it to Gaiyin, smiling at him, "Try the charm of chili."
All at once, everyone at the table, except for Ye Qiao, turned their attention to Gaiyin.
After all, Wen Jue was not the only one who wanted to, yet dared not eat. Now that there was a guinea pig, everyone was quite happy to watch.
Gaiyin, shouldering the great responsibility, didn’t hesitate to put the slice of meat into his mouth, chewed a few times, and then suddenly paused.
His complexion visibly reddened. If he could be given a special effect at this time, he’d definitely have steam shooting out from his ears and nostrils.
Wen Jue instantly pulled back his eager hand. He looked at Gaiyin, his face filled with alarm, and asked with great concern, "Are you alright?"
Gaiyin didn’t answer him.
All that could be seen was Gaiyin’s face growing redder and redder, almost to the point of bleeding.
Sweat beads were forming on the tip of his nose and his forehead. His mouth moved again, chewing faster and faster.
When he finally swallowed the meat, Su Tang hurriedly handed him a cup of warm water, laughing, "How did it feel? Do you want to eat another bite?"
Gaiyin waved his hand, rejecting the water, and immediately picked up another slice of meat and put it into his mouth. There was no hesitation this time. Even though his face was still flush, his speed of eating the meat had greatly increased.
And so, there was another person at the table who was wolfing down the red soup hotpot.
Seeing this situation, could the others not understand?
Immediately they all reached out with their chopsticks towards the red soup hotpot. Seeing this, Ye Qiao ate even faster!
Su Tang turned her gaze towards Hai Qin. She said with a mischievous tone, "Chief of the Sea Tribe, you should probably refrain from eating. Your body has only just started to recover and spicy food is not suitable."
Hai Qin had just taken a bite. He had experienced the explosive and refreshing sensation for the first time, and now someone was telling him that he couldn’t eat anymore?
Hai Qin looked regretful as he asked, "Really? I can’t eat anymore? Not even a single mouthful?"
Su Tang shook her head firmly, "Not suitable. It’s not good for the body for someone who just recovered from a serious illness or an injury to eat spicy food. But if you really want to eat it, I won’t stop you. This is just a suggestion."
Hanna, seated next to Hai Qin, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, does that mean I can’t eat it either? I’m also injured..."
Su Tang’s smile froze a bit.
In reality, there wasn’t anything stopping Hai Qin from eating spicy food. Su Tang had said that on purpose.
She knew in her heart that Hai Qin’s previous discomfort was due to poison, but she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
