The legendary 'hard outside and soft inside'

Bai Yue plopped herself down on the cold, hard ground next to Zheng Fei and took out a second stick of dried meat. She started chewing on it.

It was bland without any spice to enhance the taste.

Nonetheless, it still tasted better than her poor attempt at recreating a river ghoul as a meal the night before.

"It should be beef, right?" she wondered out loud and tilted her head to the side. With only the silence to keep her company, she added in a low voice, "Or duck."

"Are you stupid?" Zheng Fei shot back with a disdainful grimace, obviously thinking she was a disappointment. "Duck tastes completely different."

The texture was also different.
