150: The Law of True Fragrance

*Swish!*

Unfortunately, it didn't hit.

Lu Fan froze in embarrassment for a moment, then immediately turned and ran. His powerful physical attributes allowed him to quickly leave them behind, shouting as he ran.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late! Just wait until I go back and eat your children, then I'll come back to settle the score with you!"

The livestream room instantly exploded.

"Top-tier movement combined with the awareness of a sneaky player."

"fried wasp larvae, just thinking about it makes me hungry."

"Ugh, those are bugs! How can you guys eat that?"

"When the wasps come back, the sky is going to fall."

Lu Fan ran all the way back to the Shelter. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he slumped to the ground, panting heavily, but his face was beaming with the joy of victory, looking much like a returning hero.

Hearing the commotion, An Lan hurried out of the house. Seeing Lu Fan's disheveled state, she felt both distressed and helpless: "You really make people worry. You're not allowed to take such risks next time."

Lu Fan gave a silly grin and showed the wasp nest in the basket to An Lan: "Look, this is my trophy. We'll be eating fried wasp larvae soon! Today we'll have a fried wasp larvae feast, and I'll let you taste my cooking."

Full of joy, Lu Fan steadily placed the basket full of wasp nests on the ground, a brilliant winner's smile on his face.

A sumptuous feast of fried wasp larvae already appeared in his mind; the image seemed so close it made his mouth water.

But before his excitement had completely faded, he remembered his 'teammate' who had dropped the ball at the critical moment—Dahei.

This silly dog had run faster than a rabbit just now, and who knows which corner he was hiding in now.

"Dahei! You coward, get out here right now!"

Lu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs around the Shelter. His voice was like a great bell, echoing through the woods and startling a flock of birds that took flight toward the sky.

As he shouted, he searched carefully through the nearby grass and bushes, his eyes wide like copper bells, not missing any corner where Dahei might be hiding.

After searching for a long time without even seeing Dahei's shadow, Lu Fan was so angry his mouth twisted. He kept muttering: "This silly dog only knows how to eat and play; he's useless at the critical moment. Just wait until I find you, see how I deal with you!"

Despite his words, even as he complained, he was secretly a bit worried about whether Dahei had encountered any danger.

Just when Lu Fan was so anxious he was scratching his head and didn't know what to do, a familiar 'woof-woof' sound came from the distance.

He looked closely and saw Dahei trotting toward him happily, carrying a plump rabbit in his mouth.

His tail was wagging like a rattle, as if proudly saying: 'Master, look at the delicious treat I brought you!'

"You rascal, so you ran off to catch a rabbit! I thought you'd been carried off by the wasps!"

Lu Fan was both annoyed and amused as he reached out to pat Dahei's head.

Dahei proudly placed the rabbit at Lu Fan's feet and wagged his tail with an expression full of expectation for praise, looking very much like a child waiting to be complimented.

"Fine, since you caught a rabbit, I won't hold it against you this time."

Lu Fan picked up the rabbit and patted Dahei's back. "Come on, let's go back. We're in for a treat today!"

Back at the Shelter, Lu Fan couldn't wait to start processing his 'trophies.'

He carefully picked the wasp pupae out of the wasp nest one by one; they were white and plump.

They were wriggling hard inside the wasp nest, like little warriors who refused to give up.

They shimmered under the sunlight like smooth pearls, making one's mouth water just looking at them.

An Lan watched from the side, her brow slightly furrowed and her face full of disgust: "Can this thing really be eaten? It looks so gross, just like bugs."

"Don't underestimate these wasp pupae; they're a rare delicacy!"

Lu Fan said as he skillfully washed the wasp pupae, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

"Once they're fried, they'll be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They'll be so fragrant you'll practically swallow your tongue. Don't go fighting me for them later."

After speaking, Lu Fan set up a pot and scooped a dollop of oil into it.

As the oil temperature gradually rose, he carefully poured the wasp pupae into the pot. Instantly, the pot made a 'sizzling' sound.

It was the beautiful melody of hot oil meeting the wasp pupae, and an enticing aroma spread, quickly filling the entire Shelter.

An Lan couldn't help but sniff. The disgust on her face lessened slightly, but she was still hesitant: "Is it really as good as you say? I find it hard to believe."

"Just you wait and see!"

Lu Fan said with full confidence, his eyes showing an unquestionable determination, as if he were about to create the most delicious food in the world.

While frying the wasp pupae, he also began to process the rabbit.

He used his sharp dagger to skillfully clean the rabbit, his technique nimble and showing the style of an old hand.

Then, he evenly rubbed salt, chili pepper flakes, and some carefully gathered wild spices onto the rabbit before placing it over the fire to roast.

The flames playfully licked the rabbit meat. Before long, the surface turned golden and crispy, and beads of oil 'sizzled' as they dripped down, releasing bursts of rich fragrance.

That aroma seemed to have magic, making the hunger in one's stomach surge up.

An Lan's stomach also began to growl. She smiled sheepishly: "I didn't expect this rabbit to smell so good while roasting."

"Of course. Don't you trust my skills?"

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows proudly and continued to turn the rabbit meat, ensuring every part was heated evenly to bring out the best flavor.

Soon, both the fried wasp larvae and the roasted rabbit were finished.

Lu Fan placed the golden fried wasp larvae on an exquisite plate and brought the roasted rabbit, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, to the table. He didn't forget to sprinkle some emerald-green Mint leaves on top.

Instantly, the entire Shelter was filled with an enticing aroma—a blend of the fresh fragrance of the wasp pupae, the richness of the rabbit, and the freshness of the Mint leaves, making one feel intoxicated.

"Come, try my cooking."

Lu Fan warmly invited An Lan, taking a fried wasp pupa and putting it in his own mouth first.

With a 'crunch,' a satisfied expression appeared on his face, a sense of fulfillment that seemed to tell the world this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten.

"Mmm~ so delicious! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and incredibly fragrant!"

An Lan looked at the wasp pupae on the plate, still a bit hesitant. She carefully picked one up, sniffed it, and frowned.

"This smell... can it really be eaten?"

"Just take a bold bite. If it's not good, I'll eat the plate!"

Lu Fan promised, thumping his chest. His confident look was hard not to laugh at.

An Lan gritted her teeth, put the wasp pupa in her mouth, and took a gentle bite.
