Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 171: Scamming?

Before, when he was in the village, Chen Mo saw that Snow Emperor City was recruiting people to form a team to venture into the Snow Sea Forest in search of the Snow Sea Spirit.

Unexpectedly, he encountered them here.

"Lady Snow Woman."

Hiding within the Heart of the Sea, Bing Ling’er also stepped out, addressing her with respect.

Her mother’s village had always been under the protection of Snow Emperor City, which would send Spirit Masters to rescue the surrounding villages whenever a monster tide struck or a blizzard shut in the village.

Although she and her mother had moved to Luoxue Village to live with her father at a young age, she still felt grateful to the Spirit Masters of Snow Emperor City.

"Just call me Snow Woman! What are you eating? It smells so good!"

After entering the cave, Snow Woman quickly smelled the food’s aroma and couldn’t help but speak.

"We just made some food."

Soon, the people from Snow Emperor City saw what Chen Mo meant by making "just some food."

Honey roasted chicken, double-cooked pork slices, Mapo tofu, fish-flavored pork shreds...

Even though all were leftovers, they still made many people involuntarily swallow their saliva, looking at the two with rosy faces full of envy.

The team from Snow Emperor City had set off almost at the same time as Chen Mo and had been trekking deep in the Snow Sea Forest for a week.

During that time, they had eaten dry food or boiled meat slices, stayed in tents, and even encountered powerful Spiritual Beasts and blizzards, so everyone looked weather-beaten and haggard.

"Are you a Spirit Chef?"

Joy sparkled in the ice-blue eyes of Snow Woman.

Spirit Chefs in the Yulong Mountain Range are rare, so their status is also very high.

She hadn’t expected to be so lucky as to encounter such a young and handsome Spirit Master in a cave.

"Sort of!"

Chen Mo nodded.

"Could you help make some food that warms up the body?"

Snow Woman requested.

Her team hadn’t had a warm meal in a long time.

The blizzard was too strong, ordinary flames simply couldn’t stay lit.

Although there was a Fire Based Spirit Master in the team, his Spiritual Beast was only at Extraordinary Ninth Rank, and to keep a flame burning for over an hour in a blizzard was nearly impossible.

So when they discovered this cave, it was quite a surprise, as they could find shelter from the wind and even manage to eat some warm food.

Now that there was even a Spirit Chef inside the cave, it felt like a dream.

"Sure, just pay for it."

Chen Mo didn’t refuse.

"Of course."

Snow Woman smiled.

She then took out many ingredients from her Space Ring, including some rare and even treasured-grade spiritual materials.

They were not lacking in ingredients; what they lacked was someone to prepare them.

"Half of these ingredients are yours."

The fee for a Spirit Chef to make a meal in the Yulong Snow Mountain is very high, sometimes the labor cost is even more expensive than the food itself.

This price was also reasonable.

"Just a moment."

Chen Mo accepted the ingredients and then returned to the Heart of the Sea.

The shy Tuantuan certainly wouldn’t want to cook in front of so many people, so he would have to finish cooking inside the Heart of the Sea before bringing the food out.

"Ying!"

Tuantuan unleashed the full Power of Food Spirit.

Soon, the food given by Snow Woman was transformed into fragrant dishes, which were then delivered to the people of Snow Emperor City.

"Holy crap! This chicken is too delicious!?"

"This snow rabbit meat is incredible! It tastes even better than what I had at Drunken Immortal Restaurant last time!"

"This plum wine is also good. Although it’s not strong, the flavor is very pure. Refreshing!"

"I feel so warm, the cold has been driven away."

"Dang, how come you’re breathing fire?"

...

...

Soon, the cave was filled with the sounds of hearty meat-eating and enthusiastic drinking.

After equipping the [Sichuan Cuisine Spirit Chef], every dish Tuantuan made came with a magical effect.

[Fire Breathing][Warmth][Joy of Body and Mind][Spiritual Excitement]

These are the four different effects Chen Mo has discovered so far.

After expressing her gratitude to Chen Mo again, the Snow Woman also started to enjoy the food.

Her face then also revealed an expression of blissful joy.

"Umm... umm... delicious!"

While eating, the Snow Woman gave two thumbs up, saying the words delicious a bit unclearly.

Her way of eating wasn’t rude but it certainly couldn’t be described as elegant either; she belonged to the "uninhibited type."

Anyhow, it was quite unlike the image of a fairy.

"Little Ice Phoenix, do you want to eat something too?"

Chen Mo noticed the little blue bird staring intently at the food, so he asked.

"Chirp!" (Lord Bing Feng has already eaten her fill.)

The little blue bird held her head high, speaking with a reserved tone.

As a noble phoenix, she must always maintain her elegance.

"Wow! What a cute little blue bird, is this your Spiritual Beast?"

The Snow Woman found the little blue bird’s haughty demeanor amusing and couldn’t help but ask.

"Chirp!" (Yes!)

Before Chen Mo could reply, the little blue bird was the first to nod its head,

Deciding to bluff first in order not to be discovered.

Watching this scene, Chen Mo had a strange expression on his face.

Since when did you become my Spiritual Beast? Trying to falsely claim connection, huh?

However, after rethinking it, Chen Mo found this little blue bird quite intelligent and thought it wouldn’t be too bad to have it as a Spiritual Beast...

After all, he never chose bonded Spiritual Beasts based on strength but rather on fate.

So Chen Mo didn’t expose the act but instead gently stroked the little blue bird’s feathers, pretending to be a kind and doting master.

"Chirp!?"

The little blue bird got goosebumps all over, looking at Chen Mo’s "gentle" gaze, it suddenly felt a bit panicked.

------------------

A certain great person once said—food is the best bond for bringing people closer together.

While enjoying fine food in Snow Emperor City, Chen Mo equipped the [Socialite], taking the initiative to chat with everyone.

Soon he had a preliminary understanding of the strength and structure of the team from Snow Emperor City.

The four women Spirit Masters in white armors beside the Snow Woman were her personal guards from Snow Emperor City. The strongest among them, Liu Yan, was at the level of a Quasi-Master, a commander in the Spirit Army of Snow Emperor City, specifically in charge of the Snow Woman’s safety this time. The Spiritual Beasts of the other three personal guards were also at the level of Commander Seventh Rank and above.

Besides, there were another 8 Spirit Masters from Snow Emperor City in the team.

The remaining dozen or so Spirit Masters were temporary "mercenaries" with varying strengths in their Spiritual Beasts, ranging from Extraordinary Ninth Rank to Commander Eighth Rank.

But such a team could indeed be called elite.

"Brother Chen Mo, where are you guys from? Are you also here to seek the Snow Sea Spirit?"

After answering many of Chen Mo’s questions, Liu Yan, the personal guard beside the Snow Woman, asked in return.

"We are from Luoxue Town. As for the purpose of our journey, it was originally to seek the Snow Sea Spirit, but maybe we don’t have enough fate; we haven’t encountered it so far. So now, it has turned into a trip."

Chen Mo answered.

"Luoxue Town!?"

Hearing these three words, the Snow Woman’s eyes brightened, and then she smiled:

"My father also comes from Luoxue Town, so we are townfolks then."
