264: Chapter 223 264: Chapter 223 Jiang Tang could tell from the Enchantment Spell cast by Yun Duoduo, who was making eye contact with him, that she was truly a talented girl from Spirit Sect.
In Jiang Tang’s mind, there were two avatars in his sea of consciousness, one of which he had sent out to protect the Jiang Family Head.
Another reason why Yun Duoduo’s illusions were ineffective against him was that the avatar in his mind had neutralized her Enchantment Spell.
At that moment, Dugu Yan’er’s parents and brothers brought in the meal, the rice was made from a special Spirit Plant sorghum specially cultivated by their stockade, turning it into their unique exotic feast.
When everyone saw the dishes, they all smelled fragrant, yet each one was made of insects.
Except for Dugu Yan’er, who was not afraid of insects as she used Worm techniques, even Tang Yanhong, who used poison, was scared of the bug dishes.
Facing the host family’s invitation to eat their insect dishes, they looked on with trepidation, wondering if eating these dishes would poison them to death.
Jiang Tang also saw such a variety of insect dishes for the first time; each dish looked very fragrant, but each was made from different insects, including a pot of snake soup and golden fried scorpions.
Some of the insects he did not recognize, and it wasn’t just the girls who would be scared by such bugs, Jiang Tang himself was also taken aback by the sight of so many insect dishes.
Dugu Yan’er’s parents spoke a few words to them in a language they couldn’t understand.
Dugu Yan’er’s brothers also spoke to them in some language, and seeing that they didn’t understand, they asked Dugu Yan’er to translate.
“Jiang Tang, and all of you, my parents and brothers have prepared a table full of delicacies for you, all in the style we use to treat honored guests.
We have made our insect feast for you, I guarantee that after you’ve tasted such delicious food, you’ll never want to eat Demon Beast Meat again and would rather have the insect feast,” Dugu Yan’er said with a proud expression.
Her family nodded, indicating that what Dugu Yan’er said was correct, and they were sincerely entertaining their guests.
“Dugu Yan’er, this insect feast is really terrifying!
I’ll just have this instead,” Su Feifei said fearfully, taking some food made from sorghum and tasting it in her mouth.
It was very fragrant and even had a bit of a meaty flavor.
“Mmm, this is delicious.”
“Scorpions, actually, after being processed, can be medicinal.
Some of these insects look poisonous, but many of them are delicious once their venom glands are removed or their venom is cleared.
But I dare not eat them either,” Hua Xian’er gave her opinion and also took some sorghum food to eat.
Each person made some comments, more or less, and Jiang Tang, like the other girls, also picked up the sorghum food to eat.
Dugu Yan’er just smiled at their remarks and said, “It’s such delicious food, it’s a pity you guys aren’t eating.
My parents and brothers’ craftsmanship can’t be found outside.”
After Dugu Yan’er finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating those fragrant fried insects.
They seemed very crispy and fragrant, and her parents and brothers also ate the insects with a smile, pouring their homemade insect wine for the guests.
Jiang Tang and the others didn’t dare to drink this kind of wine.
Being reborn in the Cultivation World didn’t grant him the courage to eat insects.
After so many dangers, he wasn’t afraid of enemies, but at this moment, he was somewhat apprehensive about drinking wine brewed from insects.
“Jiang Tang, this wine smells great, and it’s a waste not to drink it.
If you don’t try this wine, you’ll regret it.
This wine is very nourishing,” Dugu Yan’er urged Jiang Tang with a mysterious gleam in her eyes.
“I’d better not.
I can drink a little of the snake wine, but can you tell me what kind of insects this wine is brewed from?”
“Maybe I shouldn’t say.
These are insects we breed in our stockade, and the words and preparation all follow our special formula.
I dare to drink it, Jiang Tang, aren’t you not afraid of poison?
Besides, our techniques don’t work on you, so what are you afraid of?” Dugu Yan’er said with an air of mystery.
Hearing Dugu Yan’er’s words, Jiang Tang felt a bit unwilling to be told by a woman that he was afraid and that he didn’t dare, when they could all eat it, why couldn’t he?
Just as Dugu Yan’er said, he wasn’t afraid of her tricks and Worm Insects posed no threat to him.
Jiang Tang reached for the cup of wine to drink, but his hand was caught by Xuanyuan Mengting.
“Jiang Tang, do you really want to drink?” Xuanyuan Mengting asked, worried that Jiang Tang might fall for a trick.
“It’s fine, don’t worry!”
Having heard Jiang Tang’s words, Xuanyuan Mengting let him be, though she remained vigilant of Dugu Yan’er.
“You all try these insects!
They’re really tasty,” Dugu Yan’er said to the other girls.
Jiang Tang took a sip of the wine poured by Dugu Yan’er’s family.
It was strong and had an herbal fragrance, likely infused with some medicinal herbs.
After trying the wine, Jiang Tang thought of the many Spirit Plants in his space and some other fruits he had; he could also brew wine.
With that idea in mind, he commanded his avatar to start the process and also urged the two Spiritual Pets in his space to become active.
Eryao, commanded by his master, complained, “Master, you haven’t spent time with us for so long because of these women.
They are too bad, always clinging to you.
Wait until I get out and kill them.”
“No, Eryao.
Master, I have many things to do, and these women are just pawns of their families.
Besides, Dad, I will also need to take a wife in the future, and you will have many mothers.”
“I don’t want that.
I want to find my real mother.
I don’t want these stepmothers; they will definitely mistreat me.”
