Chapter 118: The Deeply-Rooted Gender Discrimination
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ha! The gender discrimination in this Beast World was really deeply rooted. Looking behind Collin, Gu Mengmeng saw a bunch of males who were all nodding their heads profusely to express their greatest approval and she did not know whether to cry or laugh. She dusted her hands and stood up, raising her head up high before saying, “Although the yellow gravy is precious, it’s not something rare. As long as all of you can help me find the nest of the yellow needle insects, I assure you that the yellow gravy in Saint Nazaire would have an endless supply. But there’s one important point, that is you can eat as much as you want, but don’t waste it.”
If it was in the past, the males would treat Gu Mengmeng’s words as a little female speaking nonsense and they just had to go along and agree with her. Then, even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they had to live up to their promise.
But now, it was the other way round. This lean and petite female felt like she was emitting such an enormous strength that nobody could resist. Her words convinced people and did not allow a single iota of suspicion to occur.
Males are allowed to eat yellow gravy too?
Such a precious thing… in endless supply?
Everyone stared at Gu Mengmeng and felt an upsurge of emotions. They had to be stronger or else how could such a tiny female bear the burden of making Saint Nazaire more prosperous? She was too delicate and should be protected and taken care of!
Gu Mengmeng clearly was not aware that her words made the males act as if they had consumed stimulants and it was those that were effective throughout the year. From today onwards, the males in Saint Nazaire put in more effort to cultivate themselves and regardless whether it was hunting or protecting their territories, they had a drive they never experienced before. They wanted to become stronger, so strong until they could protect Gu Mengmeng.
Of course, that is a story for another time, let’s not talk about it for the time being.
Although Collin felt his heart ache at the yellow gravy, since it was what Gu Mengmeng ordered him to do, he would accomplish it.
But the males kept the yellow gravy carefully in the leaves, just in case when the females did not have not enough yellow gravy to eat, they would give theirs up to them.
Gu Mengmeng also did not force them anymore as this type of perception that was deeply ingrained in them was hard to remove. Besides… taking care of females was not a bad thing, why should she persist to change it?
Gu Mengmeng took the tail of a wolf that a male was planning to throw away and washed it clean with stream water before soaking it with honey and brushing it evenly on the surface of the roasted fish. Then, she slowly turned the fish over until the honey was roasted to a golden brown and the air was filled with a sweet, slightly burned smell. Gu Mengmeng then took the roasted fish down from the frame. She tore a small piece and sent it into her mouth to try the taste. Sure enough, roasted fish with honey was so much more delicious than the roasted rabbit that had no taste at all.
Gu Mengmeng was not a petty person, and she split the fish into two, giving one half to Sandy and the other half to Elvis.
Sandy was already salivating for such a long time and as expected, she burned her tongue when she bit her first bite down. She pitifully stuck out her pink tongue and gasped for air. The extremely adorable scene made Gu Mengmeng chuckle, and she took the fish and handed it to Bode, instructing him to blow it first before giving it to Sandy. Then, she folded the leaf into a conical shape, scooped it with water and gave it to Sandy for her to cool down her tongue.
Once Sandy had something to eat, she did not bother talking to Gu Mengmeng anymore and pounced into Bode’s embrace, her large eyes revolving around the roasted fish in Bode’s hands.
Gu Mengmeng also did not bother dissing Sandy neglecting her friend after seeing food. She returned to Elvis and sat down next to him obediently before preparing to roast another fish for herself.
But she did not even touch the second fish yet when Elvis sent a small piece of fish meat to her mouth, “I’ve blown on it already, it has cooled down.”
