Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Cooperation
"The Ice Jade Spirit Cat is an Array Spirit, besides me, you are the first person Iāve seen it get close to!" An Lan exclaimed, "Although I donāt know what in you attracts the Ice Jade Spirit Cat, I can feel that you definitely can help our Snowman Tribe!"
Ling Feng wryly smiled, "Arenāt you being a bit too rash? I must tell you, my time is running out!"
"Itās okay, two days is enough!" An Lan said calmly, "You are the only variable in my plan, and the only variable in this desperate situation. I hope you can help me get through this. Just hold on for another two days and I will send you off; our Snowman Tribe will go all out to help you find the Origin Power. How about that?"
Of course, thatās bad! Ling Feng thought to himself; he had a feeling that if he continued to stay, he would definitely get wrapped up in a super troublesome matter.
But thinking about his current situation, and seeing An Lanās clear eyes devoid of any impurity, Ling Feng sighed and said with a wry smile, "Do you think I have any other choice?"
An Lan spoke with a hint of apology, "Iām sorry, but this is critical; I canāt afford to take it lightly! But rest assured, you are a valued guest among our Snowman Tribe, we wonāt mistreat you in any way!"
As she spoke, An Lan placed the Ice Jade Spirit Cat in Ling Fengās hands and said, "The Ice Jade Spirit Cat is sentient; since it likes to be around you, it shows that you have no ill intentions towards it. Let it stay by your side for now!"
...
After his conversation with An Lan, Ling Fengās doubts only deepened! From An Lanās hesitant demeanor, he knew that she was definitely holding back something, but Ling Feng believed that her reservations werenāt aimed at scheming against him!
Remembering those clear eyes, Ling Feng couldnāt help but choose to trust An Lan!
"Ah, I must be crazy!" Ling Feng sat on the mountain stone atop the Snowman Tribeās village, watching the busy Snowman below, and couldnāt help but wryly smile.
Although Snowmen are naturally tall and robust, apart from their thick fur, they look pretty much like ordinary people! Some of the younger Snowmen, with not much fur, looked almost like normal children!
"The Snowman Tribe is guarded by a Guardian Formation, and Array Spirits maintain its Barrier!" Ling Feng muttered to himself, "The only solution to the Snowman Tribeās problems is to strengthen the Formation, but what will An Lan do? What does she really want?"
Ling Feng knew far too little about the Snowman Tribe, aside from what An Lan had told him. He had no other way to understand them; he couldnāt even understand the language of the Snowman Tribe, much less communicate!
The Ice Jade Spirit Cat, in contrast, was cheerfully rolling around on Ling Fengās body, continuously biting his right hand and licking the palm, as if it found his right hand particularly interesting.
"Stop it!" Ling Feng gently patted the forehead of the Ice Jade Spirit Cat.
"Letās go, itās time to eat, you must be hungry by now!" An Lanās ethereal voice came over, "Today Anla has made a special meal for you, I hope you like it!"
Ling Feng looked up at An Lan and asked with confusion, "An Lan, what is your relationship with Anda and Anla? I see that the people of the Snowman Tribe respect you a lot."
An Lan spoke softly, "Anla is my sister-in-law, Anda is my brother."
"What?" Ling Feng almost fell over. The difference in size was just too extreme! Ling Feng had never expected that An Lan was Andaās sister!
Following An Lan, they arrived at Andaās house, which was very tall; entering gave Ling Feng a particularly spacious feeling.
Anda, seeing Ling Feng, flashed an unfriendly look, Ling Feng also felt helpless; it seemed as if from the beginning Anda had been hostile towards him.
Soon, a tall female Snowman walked in, carrying two young Snowmen on her back and holding two large steaming pots of meat!
One pot was snake soup, and the other was wild boar meat!
The female Snowman called Anla looked toward Ling Feng with a kind expression. She warmly served Ling Feng a big bowl of snake meat soup and two large pieces of wild boar meat.
Looking at the mountain of wild boar meat in front of him, Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Isnāt this a bit too much? Even a big eater couldnāt eat this much, right?"
An Lan said with a smile, "Try Anlaās cooking, although it may not look as appealing as whatās outside, the taste is absolutely fantastic!"
Ling Feng gave another wry smile, "Iām not that particular about food, but this is a bit too much for me. I canāt eat so much!"
Humph! At this time, Anda gave Ling Feng a disdainful look, mumbling something under his breath.
An Lan laughed and said, "Anda said the more you eat, the braver you are proven to be. If you canāt eat this much, he will look down on you!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, to be despised by a snowman! This was something he could tolerate, but his aunt couldnāt!
Ling Feng snorted coldly, "I was just being polite. Iām worried that if I really start eating freely, you might not have enough!"
With a slap on the table, Anda chattered away in a rush.
An Lan translated, "Anda said if you can eat more than him, he will acknowledge you as a true warrior."
Ling Feng rolled his eyes. A warrior of the Snowman Tribe was really this cheap, judged by how much they could eat?
Anda grabbed a wild boar leg, opened his mouth wide, and started tearing at it, looking quite fierce and heroic.
Ling Feng also picked up a piece of wild boar meat, took a bite, and although he initially thought it would taste awful, he was surprised to find it didnāt have any off-putting gamy flavor but was instead very tender and full of rich fragrance that filled his mouth.
"Tastes good, right?" An Lan smiled with squinted eyes, "Anlaās cooking is the best in the entire Snowman Tribe! It took Anda quite the effort to marry Anla!"
When Anda heard An Lan sharing his personal affairs, he couldnāt help but defend himself, his face showing a shy expression.
Ling Fengās expression slightly changed. He could feel the pure kinship among Anda, An Lan, and Anla. Although Ling Feng didnāt know why there was such a size difference between An Lan and Anda, it was clear that it didnāt interfere with their relationship.
Such kinship also moved and made Ling Feng envious!
Soon, the large chunk of meat in front of Ling Feng was gone, which surprised Anda, not expecting Ling Fengās slender body could consume such a large amount of meat!
After finishing a large chunk of meat, Ling Feng drank a sip of snake soup, which was delicious and silky. The snake meat slid down his stomach, bringing a warm and cozy feeling.
Ling Feng couldnāt help but look toward Anla, this tall snowman, whose cooking skills were indeed not inferior to those of a five-star chef from outside!
Suddenly, a horn sounded from outside. Andaās expression changed. He dropped the wild boar leg he was holding, swiftly picked up the huge Bone Spear beside him, and dashed out.
"What happened?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled, "Whatās going on outside?"
An Lan looked a bit troubled, "Itās nothing serious, just some petty thieves taking the chance to harass the Snowman Tribe. Iāll go out and take a look!"
As he said this, An Lan also stood up and left.
With the hosts gone, Ling Feng naturally wouldnāt stay and continue to eat and drink; he followed them outside. By this time, the warriors of the Snowman Tribe had already engaged in battle with the enemies.
