Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1299 Opportunity for long-term cooperation

The leg meat roasted on the Nevernight Fire was cooked to just the right temperature.

The skin is slightly charred, and the honey marinade brushed on it combines with the original skin of the leg meat to form a crispy and light shell.

The quality of the leg meat itself can be called top-notch, with three parts fat and seven parts lean, and delicate fat lines like snowflakes embedded in the tight muscles. After being roasted over fire, the fat has soaked into the muscle fibers, and the smoky flavor of the fruit wood from the charcoal fire has also been infused into the juicy leg meat.

What was even more wonderful was that the three of them were now sitting around a stone stove where the flames had been extinguished. Huo Ming used a short knife to cut off slices of meat that had been roasted to perfection and placed them on a plate. The heat from the charcoal fire had not yet dissipated much before the meat could go directly into the mouths of the three of them.

The remaining leg meat was still placed on the still warm charcoal fire, smoking the newly exposed and slightly tender part.

The food here is so delicious that even Lin Yu, who has tasted Hannah's cooking and Ka's cooking, couldn't help but praise it.

“Really good meat, really good cooking.”

As an information life form, Fu Luo, after the upgrade that Buye Tian Yonglian added to the [Ancient Notes], now has a body that is almost no different from a normal body and has five senses. Naturally, he can also taste it and eat it with a lot of oil.

"Oh my goodness, it smells so good!"

"Master Huo Ming, your cooking skills have not been in vain, and the quality of this meat is no waste of your skills!"

Huo Ming of Buyetian was praised by the two people. She picked up a piece of meat with a knife and put it into her mouth. She felt the juice mixed with spices and smoky fruit wood flavors bursting in her mouth as she chewed, and the mellow meat aroma also made her feel sincerely satisfied.

"You both missed one point. The quality of the meat and my cooking skills may have contributed to it, but the most important thing is this charcoal."

"This is the 'fragrant wood' of the Great Wilderness, and it's aged charcoal made from this century-old fragrant wood... Using this charcoal to grill meat creates a unique flavor compared to ordinary charcoal."

As Buyetian Huo Ming explained, Fu Luo immediately joined in.

"I see. I didn't expect you to be involved in this area."

This time, in response to Fu Luo's support, Huo Ming of Buyetian gladly accepted it.

"After all, there's not much to do in the Great Wilderness, so I can only study its specialties."

As she spoke, she did not forget the conversation she had just had with Lin Yu.

After eating a few pieces of barbecue, Buye Tianhuo Ming saw that Lin Yu really started to enjoy the barbecue and did not mention what happened just now. Naturally, he could not hold back and took the initiative to start the topic again.

"So, Director Arthur... let me ask you this question. Was my mother deliberately trying to pressure me by sending you and Forbolto to the wasteland this time?"

Huo Ming's tone became more cautious than before.

after all……

It doesn't matter whether Director Arthur and Forbolo are from the Nevernight Fire Music or Nevernight Fire Tree.

Although she did not have the status of Buyetian Huo Le and Buyetian Huo Shu in the family, before those two really took over as the head of the family, there was indeed no actual difference in status among the three of them, and they were all direct descendants of royal noble families.

Naturally, the subordinates of the two of them pose no threat to Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky.

But... if these two people are really the head of the Buye Tian family and his mother's confidants, and they came with his mother's orders, then it would be completely different.

In fact, there is no need to consider any status difference.

His own mother only considered her abilities and skills, and was also a person that Huo Ming feared.

So now, when Lin Yu brought out some secret information, making Buye Tianhuo clearly believe that this mysterious "Director Arthur" might really have come with his mother's will, and even that this trip to the Great Wilderness might be some kind of assessment...

Naturally, she was a little flustered.

If you panic, you will fall into a passive position.

Lin Yu also ate a piece of barbecue slowly, looked at Buyetian Huoming, and spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, although the head of the family knows what you did, she intends to turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened."

"Don't take it too seriously, Your Excellency Huo Ming—you are her daughter after all."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Huo Ming of Buyetian shook his head.

"Blood ties don't give me peace of mind."

After all, Huo Ming of Buyetian knew very well that when his mother came to power, she must have killed many of her direct blood relatives.

Lin Yu whispered, "I'm not talking about blood relationship. What I'm emphasizing is your value."

"Don't forget, Lord Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky... your current position in the Great Wilderness is irreplaceable."

"Mr. Forboluo and I went to the Great Wilderness to work for the Patriarch. The first thing the Patriarch thought of was to ask you to help us."

"Even putting aside our blood relationship, you are the most trustworthy pillar of the Truth Company and the Buyetian Family in the Great Wilderness. Add to that the blood relationship, and you are naturally irreplaceable."

"Whether you felt you were 'exiled' or 'sent' to the Great Wilderness, the fact is... the Patriarch truly appreciates your achievements."

As Lin Yu spoke, Huo Ming of Buyetian calmed down a little.

"That being said...if Mother truly believed I had second thoughts, she would probably be determined to cut it off and save the world..."

As Buyetian Huo Ming said this, Lin Yu laughed.

He expected the other party to have this idea.

From the beginning, he has already taken the initiative in the entire negotiation.

So now...

He has already achieved his goal.

"Don't worry, although the head of the family knows about your previous plan, she doesn't think you have any second thoughts."

As Lin Yu spoke, Huo Ming of Buyetian was confused.

"what do you mean?"

She asked as she cut new leg meat.

Lin Yu didn't keep the secret and spoke directly: "Because although the master of the family knows about your actions, he only knows about that one action of yours."

"Regarding your further movements and secret contacts with other nobles from other families who share similar circumstances as you... the Patriarch hasn't noticed yet."

"I found that out."

Huo Ming looked at Lin Yu and placed the plate full of barbecue in front of him: "So... you are hiding this from me? You are so brave!"

Lin Yu picked up a piece of fresh, still hot, barbecued meat with his knife, shook it, and said, "After all, it's not easy for small people like us to survive... and it's even harder to climb up."

"Master Huo Ming of the Nightless Heaven, let me be frank. This operation is not a test by the Patriarch. It is simply a normal operation for you to escort us to the Great Wilderness for an investigation."

"But... for both of us, this may be an opportunity to find more long-term partners."
