Chapter 175: Who Do You Think You Are?

The Young Ladies played in the water for two hours. Many Young Master felt itchy in their hearts, completely enticed.
Young Master Rong and some men were building a fire and trying to roast some meat. They fiddle with it in a hurry-scurry for one hour. Still, nothing came out. The deer was half cooked and half raw. The skin was burnt and the meat was raw. They couldn’t eat it.
They were Young Masters that had been enjoying comfortable lives. Could they even cook? After Bai Xiashuang, Bai Qiuxue and the other Young Ladies came back, they were expecting a fine dinner. They all rolled their eyes when they saw Young Master Rong and others devastated and covered in ashes and the burnt deer.
Bai Qiuxue looked to Lu Li, only to find that he was asleep. Her eyebrows knitted together. Bai Xiashuang glanced over to him as well. Her eyes sparkled as she realized something. She walked over in strides, then she kicked Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, get up."
Lu Li opened his eyes, feeling drowsy. What he saw was a pretty girl with wet hair. She was fresh out of bath. Her cheeks was rosy and very inviting. Her delicate nose was beautiful, and her eyes were sparkling. All in all, she was astonishing. He lost himself for a moment.
"Dork!"
Bai Xiashuang stared at him. She kicked him again and said, "Get up. Do you know how to roast meat?"
Lu Li recognized it was Bai Xiashuang’s voice. He became sober right away. He looked at her, turned back to his sleep and said, "No. You are so good, right? Do it yourself."
"You…"
Bai Xiashuang stomped on the ground. She turned back and left in a fit of anger. She clenched her teeth, grabbed a rabbit and wanted to roast it. However, she didn’t know where to start. The fur was not removed. She thought about it and directly threw the rabbit into the fire…
"Ha, ha."
Bai Qiuxue walked over to Lu Li. She bowed to him and said, "Island Owner Lu, Shuang-er is not behaving properly. Don’t mind her. Well… everyone has been eating prepared food for several days. Our bellies are on a riot. You are broad-minded, Island Owner Lu. Please help us."
Lu Li could grill. Bai Qiuxue was sure of it. She once read information about Lu Li. She knew he could go to the mountains when he was young, so his abilities while living in the wildness should be strong.
Lu Li had recovered since he had been napping for some time. The good attitude of Bai Qiuxue made it difficult for him to be angry to someone who smiled. He stood up and said, "Then you will help me with it, Lady Qiuxue."
Bai Qiuxue was stunned for a bit. Then she nodded with a smile and left with Lu Li. He walked over, waved his hand and said, "Leave this area. It will suffice with Lady Qiuxue’s help."
The others looked at each other speechlessly. Lu Li wanted Bai Qiuxue to help him?
Many Young Masters were burning with envy seeing Bai Qiuxue standing on the side in a well-mannered way. It just so happened that they couldn’t do the stuff of grilling, so they had to step to the side.
Lu Li carried a deer directly to the pond. Bai Qiuxue followed him. After he got to the bank, Lu Li reached out his hand and said, "Give me a knife or a dagger."
Bai Qiuxue’s ring kindled as she took out a dagger. Lu Li took over it and tried out the sharpness. Then he cut it into the skin of the deer. After some actions of cutting here and there and pulling that the others couldn’t see clearly, he skinned the deer easily.
Lu Li then gutted the deer. Afterwards, he stuck a sharp wood into the deer and came back with Bai Qiuxue.
Lu Li built two racks to hold the deer. He asked Bai Qiuxue to help rotate the deer, roasting it with gentle fire. Lu Li took out some bottles and shakers from his Interspatial Ring. Surprisingly, he had some oil, salt and cumin.
Bai Xiashuang walked over with curiosity, and so did the other Young Ladies. Lu Li ignored them. Every now and then, he would have Bai Qiuxue to add some wood, lower the rack, or raise it. He himself was applying sesame oil, salt and all kinds of strange powder.
"Smells so good…"
After nearly an hour, an attractive scent came off from the deer. The venison had become golden in color, and oil was coming out. Bai Xiashuang and the others were drooling.
"Bumpkin. Just grilling? Look how smug he is…"
"Right. He just knows some stuff done by servants and he is so arrogant. Who does think he is?"
"Such a bumpkin. How dare he to ask Lady Qiuxue to be his assistance?"
"…"
Some Young Masters were staying in a group, mumbling. Their eyes were filled with envy and hatred. Lu Li was surrounded by a group of Young Ladies, and he would have Bai Qiuxue do this or that every now and then. This bummed the Young Masters out.
Too bad they didn’t have what it took to grill. They were too shamed to move closer. The only thing for them to do was to stay far away, unable to help and swore in secret.
"Okay, let’s eat!"
After the time for an incense stick to burn, Lu Li cut off a piece of venison, put it on a stick and handed it over to Bai Qiuxue. He said to her with a smile, "Taste the venison you grilled yourself."
Bai Qiuxue’s eyes were sparkling. There was a big smile on her face. She took it over and had a bit. She felt like she had eaten the most delicious food in the world. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the taste, completely intoxicated…
"Lu Li, I want some!"
Seeing that, Bai Xiashuang shouted. She had been watching for a long time, and she was drooling.
Lu Li threw her a casual glance. Her eager eyes were just like Little White’s when it saw food. Lu Li smiled and cut her a piece. Bai Xiashuang bit half of the piece off. She was praising and smiling from ear to ear like a child.
The other Young Ladies nearby wanted some as well, but they were all reserved. Lu Li forced a smile and cut everyone a piece. Then he himself started eating as well. He didn’t call the Young Masters at the distance to come over though!
The Young Masters were dumbfounded.
They could smell the profound scent from there. They could see how much Bai Qiuxue and the other Young Ladies were enjoying the venison. That being said, the venison was cooked by Lu Li. They felt embarrassed to ask for some themselves without Lu Li inviting them.
After several days of eating prepared food, the stomachs of them were acting up. At this moment, they were yearning for the taste of cooked food, but none of them could lower themselves to go there. They came from wealthy families and they were filled with pride and arrogance.
"So good. Lu Li, your cooking skills are so good!"
After Bai Qiuxue finished a piece, she couldn’t help but praise. Steady and calm as she usually was, she couldn’t restrain herself now. She reached out her hand and said, "I want some more."
Lu Li cut her another chunk with a smile. Bai Xiashuang finished her piece quickly. She shouted, "Lu Li, give me another piece. You can grill venison better than the cook of our Bai Family. Don’t go back to be your small Island Owner. Go to the Bai Emperor Mountain and be our cook."
Lu Li broke into laughter. He had a better impression of Bai Xiashuang now. She was practically just a spoiled child, not unkind at all.
"Young Master Lu, can you give me another piece?" Xu Fangfei was longing for more. She looked at Lu Li with eager eyes.
The Young Masters were consumed with yearning. It was such a big deer, but in just a small moment, nearly half was eaten. If they stayed where they were, later on, there would only be bones left.
"Hmm~"
Bai Gu coughed lightly. Bai Qiuxue came to her senses and looked over. Instantly, the Young Masters turned away their heads, pretending to be enjoying the view…
"Ha~"
Bai Qiuxue laughed. She looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "Lu Li, can you give them some as well?"
Looking at the big smile on Bai Qiuxue’s face, his heart softened and he nodded yes. Bai Qiuxue waved her hand and said, "Come here Young Masters. Lu Li is quite the wizard in cooking."
"Really? I will have a try."
Bai Gu walked over with a smile. The other Young Masters let go of their restraint and gathered around. Soon, they divided the rest of the venison up.
"Just so-so. It’s not bad."
One of the Young Master’s mouth was covered with oil while he said with such indifference.
Lu Li coldly looked at him. That Young Master soon ran towards the distance for fear that Lu Li would take the venison away from him…
