“What are you talking about? I’m not making you eat mud. The meat’s inside,” Nyx said, unable to hold back. She ruffled their clueless heads one by one before crouching down and cracking open a mud shell in a few quick moves.

They had just eaten roasted meat and drunk meat soup, so everyone was about seventy to eighty percent full. They thought they wouldn’t be tempted by any more delicious smells.

But the moment the mud shell cracked open, an irresistible fragrance filled the air, making them all instinctively show blissful expressions.

It smelled amazing.

Their hunger resurfaced, their stomachs growling as their cravings kicked in.

Unfortunately, there were only a few chickens in the tribe, so everyone could only have a single bite to taste it.

The chicken, wrapped in leaves, was fully cooked–the meat tender and falling off the bone, with juices overflowing.

For people who had spent their entire lives eating only roasted or boiled meat with a little salt, this was a game–changer.

The chieftain licked the meat juices off his fingers and smacked his lips, savoring the taste.

‘Good thing I gave out that punishment, or those three would’ve hogged all this delicious food for themselves!‘ he thought.

Behind him, three fluffy figures stared at him with resentment.

“Can you make me another one tomorrow?” Lila buried herself in Nyx’s arms, using her cute face and fluffy belly to act pitiful. She whimpered, “I only got a little bit of chicken breast… I didn’t have enough.”

Lila thought that whole chicken should’ve been hers.

Before Nyx could answer, Zayne rejected the request without hesitation. “No.”

He pulled Nyx into his arms, ruthlessly squeezing the tabby cat to the side. “Why don’t you cook for yourself?”

He wouldn’t even let Nyx cook for herself, so there was no way he’d allow some clingy tabby cat to make extra demands on her.

If Nyx agreed, Gina and Beau definitely wouldn’t want to be left out either. The tribe was full of people–if one asked today and another asked tomorrow, she’d never get any rest.

The tabby cat lowered her head in embarrassment, her face turning slightly red. She belatedly realized she really had been troubling Nyx. She actually knew how to cook–she could’ve just made it herself. “Nyx, can you teach me how to make baked chicken?” she asked.

She had already learned how to make meat soup, but when Nyx was cooking the baked chicken earlier, she had been busy getting scolded by everyone and missed the whole process.

It wasn’t just Lila–no one else had seen it either. Now, they all regretted it, sneaking glances at Nyx’s expression.

“Sure,” Nyx said generously with a nod. “In a couple of days, I’ll take you to gather the seasonings first.”

For now, though, everyone was probably more eager to learn pottery–making.

Nyx tapped the hardened mud shell of the baked chicken. “Actually, making pottery is pretty similar to this. Special types of mud become solid when exposed to high heat.”

Everyone froze on the spot, their understanding of the world shattered. It was a huge shock. They had always thought pottery was made of some special kind of stone. It turned out to be just burned mud.

“To be precise, it’s clay,” Nyx cleared her throat and reminded them to snap out of it. “You can usually dig it up by the river.
