Chapter 114 The Hard Pink Fruit of Dream Peak

"Alright everyone, eat up! There will be more if you're still hungry."

Without Lezhi saying anything more, the crowd, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately started a food-grabbing frenzy as soon as Lezhi put down his chopsticks.

As the head chef, Lezhi had already prepared a meal of boiled fish and had just finished cooking, so he had no appetite and simply stopped feeding the furballs so that Lei Xiu could concentrate on eating.

With a bite of fish ball, a bite of fried fish chunks, and then a bite of stewed meat, Qingze ate with great relish. Although the taste of the spicy dry pot fish chunks that Lezhi mentioned was indeed a bit pungent at first, after the slight discomfort, Qingze found himself actually savoring the peculiar flavor.

Qingping was the same; her taste buds, conquered by boiled fish, naturally accepted dry pot. After eating too much heavy-flavored meat and fish, everyone finally discovered the wonder of steamed buns.

"Lezhi, um, is this the fruit that the bird and beast told us about before that gave you?" Leyou was amazed by the texture of the steamed bun before he could even swallow the food in his mouth.

Having never heard this story before, Le Ting, Qing Ze, and Qing Ping looked at Le Zhi and Le You curiously, their meal not preventing them from listening to the gossip.

"Yes, I grew some later and tried it out. I think it goes very well with strongly flavored dishes. By the way, I call it 'Mantou Fruit'. What do you guys think?" Lezhi looked at everyone expectantly, her eyes filled with the hope of gaining approval.

"I think it's perfect." As the number one fan of Lezhi Crafts, Leyou can always provide the most timely and abundant emotional value. "Although this steamed bun fruit itself has a light taste, after eating a lot of meat and fish, eating it together makes you feel completely different. Your stomach feels much more comfortable, right?"

Not content with praising himself, Leyou sought validation from fellow enthusiasts. Le Ting and Qingze nodded in agreement, and even Qingping, who rarely spoke to him, couldn't help but chime in.

"Leyou is right. I don't know why, but after eating this steamed bun fruit, I didn't feel greasy even after eating so much meat. It's amazing."

Having experienced the power of staple foods for the first time, everyone was quite surprised. Seeing their completely genuine reactions, Lezhi smiled with satisfaction. He had thought to himself, there must be a reason why rice and steamed buns have long held the top position among staple foods.

"I'm glad you like it. Sigh, it's a pity we only managed to get this much this time. The rest are still at home and haven't ripened yet. We'll have to plan how to eat them." She pouted. If it weren't for recommending it to them, Lezhi would have actually kept these steamed buns for herself to eat slowly.

It's alright, judging from how much Leyou and Qingze liked it, they'll probably pay more attention to these things in the future. We didn't find the Steamed Bun Fruit in the Spirit Feather Clan, but maybe we can find it in the Windwalker Clan.

Perhaps Lezhi was truly favored by the mother tree. He had just considered this possibility when Qingze fell into deep thought, staring at the stomata in the middle of the steamed bun fruit.

After pondering for a while, Qingze finally asked, "Lezhi, what does this steamed bun fruit look like? Can you let me see it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that," Lezhi nodded immediately upon hearing this, and then took out an unpeeled steamed bun from her spatial storage and handed it to Qingze. "Here, this is it."

"what?"

"Hmm, I knew that looked familiar."

It was Qingping who exclaimed in surprise. Qingze glanced at Qingping, a smile in his eyes, "You recognized me too, didn't you?"

The two exchanged a knowing glance, then turned to the puzzled Lezhi and the others, revealing the answer: "This thing is called Hard Powder Fruit. In the territory we are stationed in, there is a place that is difficult for outsiders to reach, called Illusion Dream Peak, where this fruit grows."

Qingze tossed the dark brown fruit in his hand, somewhat amused and exasperated. "We've tried collecting this before, but the fruit has no moisture. Only a few birds and beasts store some before winter arrives; we don't eat it ourselves."

"Who would have thought that it wasn't that it didn't taste good, but that we just hadn't found the right way to eat it?" Qingping nodded in agreement and sighed. He couldn't help but wonder how many delicious foods they had missed before, and for a moment he questioned his life.

When Qingze asked him for the fruit, Lezhi had already anticipated it, but when he actually got the answer, he couldn't hide his joy. He grabbed Lei Xiu's arm tightly and asked, suppressing his excitement, "Really? Qingze, are you sure?"

"I'm absolutely certain. Although not many people recognize the Hard Powder Fruit, I've personally picked it before, so I can't be mistaken," Qingze said confidently.

"Then..." Seeing the excited looks in Le You and Le Ting's eyes, Le Zhi hesitated, unsure how to begin, "You said before that it's difficult for outsiders to reach Illusion Dream Peak, so can we go there?"

As if they had already guessed that Lezhi would make such a request, Qingze and Qingping looked at each other and sighed, "If possible, I don't want to disappoint you either, but Lezhi, it is an objective fact that Illusionary Dream Peak is difficult to reach. That mountain peak is towering into the clouds and is the highest mountain in Jormungand without exception. At high altitudes, the air becomes thin, and even we cannot stay there for long."

"The hard powder fruit grows on the rocky cliffs of the mountain. We used to pick these things for the sake of fighting. Even wild birds and beasts rarely go there. It is quite a challenge for them, since there is no place to land in mid-air and there are strong air currents from time to time."

The more Qingze spoke, the lower Leyou and Leting's heads drooped, and Lezhi seemed even more desperate. Given the high difficulty level, Lezhi, without wings, was excluded from the game from the start, and Leyou and Leting, even with wings, weren't much better off.

Besides Qingze and Qingping, the only others present who could still give it a try were Maoqiu and Leixiu. But Lezhi simply couldn't bring herself to ask them to take such a risk just for a bite to eat.

"But the fact that you can say that means that although picking this hard, powdery fruit is difficult for your people, it is still achievable, right?" Seeing Lezhi's dejection, Lei Xiu pointed out what Qingze hadn't said.

Upon hearing Lei Xiu's words, Le Zhi's head lit up with excitement. "That's right, Qing Ze, you've only been saying how difficult it was for us to go, but you haven't mentioned your own experience going there."

With puffed-out cheeks, Lezhi's eyes were piercing, as if she wanted to see through Qingze's little thoughts.

Caught off guard, Qingze quickly raised his hand to defend himself, "Hey, don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to not say it. You were just asking if you could go, and I was just telling the truth. Qingping, stop smirking and say something!"

"Alright, alright, Lezhi, don't blame Qingze. What he said is indeed true." Qingping put away her smile and explained, "It is indeed very difficult for outsiders to enter Huanmeng Peak due to various restrictions, but for us Windwalker Clan members, as long as we are trained, it is still very easy to go in."

Based on Lezhi's long-standing understanding of the Tree Spirits, the training they were referring to should be their daily routine training. So Lezhi's eyes immediately lit up. "So that means any member of the Windwalker Clan who has reached adolescence can harvest Hard Powder Fruit, right?"

Seeing Qingping nod, Lezhi finally smiled with joy. Shaking hands with Leyou and Leting, Lezhi was so excited she was almost incoherent, "Leyou, Leting, we have to do our best at our stall! Whether we have enough steamed buns to eat next time depends on this!"

"Mmm." "I'll do my best." "Chirp chirp~"

Lezhi's mood brightened, which also affected the fur ball beside her. Although it didn't understand why Lezhi was suddenly excited, it didn't stop it from cheering for Lezhi.
