Chapter 52 This Woman Can Really Eat
"What are you looking at? Haven't seen a woman before? Hurry up and leave!" Blake quickly sent away the men who were watching.
The seven or eight dissatisfied men left, but not far from the bonfire, they roasted clam meat while speculating about Ivy's background and occasionally stealing glances at her.
Ivy wanted to leave here, but as soon as she moved slightly, her left foot hurt terribly. She couldn't even take a step.
"Your foot is so badly injured. Let me take a look. I wanted to check it earlier, but you were sleeping so soundly that I was afraid of waking you up," said Blake as he went to examine Ivy's injury.
"It's quite serious..." Blake suspected that Ivy had suffered domestic violence and asked tentatively, "How did you get injured? It looks like it was caught in a door."
"It was caught by that river clam!" Ivy pointed angrily at the pile of broken shells.
"Oh?" Blake was very skeptical. "River clams usually live on the bottom of the water. How could it catch your foot? Did you go down to the bottom?"
"I...I like diving. Yesterday when I was diving, I accidentally invaded its territory, so it...it wanted to eat me!" Ivy didn't want to tell outsiders about secretly taking away the pearl from the river clam shell and casually found an excuse for explanation.
Blake couldn't believe his ears. "Did that river clam become sentient? It inexplicably wants to eat people and can chase them all the way ashore..."
"Yes! It became sentient! Look how big its body is; you can tell it has lived for many years!" Ivy pointed at the broken shells of river clams.
"Heheh...a single river clam becoming sentient..." Blake shook his head incredulously and went into the cabin to get disinfectant and gauze for Ivy.
Ivy ate clam meat while admiring the beautiful scenery by the river in the sunlight. Unexpectedly, those broken clam shells were shining with strange halos, exceptionally beautiful, like rare gems.
She believed that this stuff must be valuable. When she went back, she would definitely take all these clam shells away.
This river clam had lived in the dark abyss of the riverbed where no one could see it for hundreds of years; it was definitely extraordinary.
That pearl was no longer an ordinary object. Not only could it emit light and provide night vision but also allowed her to breathe and speak freely underwater.
If this river clam really cultivated itself and if that pearl was indeed its inner alchemy, then these clam shells and meat were certainly not ordinary either.
The taste of the clam meat was unbelievably delicious. Ivy ate while thinking whether or not it would be like Tang Monk's flesh which made people immortal after eating?
With such good things around, she couldn't just eat them herself; she had to bring some for the children too.
Thinking so, Ivy quickly waved at seven or eight men nearby. "Hey! Can you give me more meat?"
"No problem." One of them took another string of clams for Ivy and asked softly when handing them over: "Is this enough? Do you want more?"
"Yes! Give me six more strings!" Ivy said as she continued eating.
Whether or not this meat had any effect on immortality didn't matter; she treated it as if it did anyway - like Tang Monk's flesh!
"How can someone eat so much?" The man was a little surprised but still followed Ivy's request to get more strings of clams.
They used iron forks to roast their meats before skewering them with bamboo sticks once they're done cooking - each fork held exactly six pieces of meat.
When he brought out six strings at once saying that Ivy had requested them, the other men were all stunned and murmured: "This woman can really eat."
After finishing the clam meat in her hand, Ivy didn't continue eating but instead put the six strings of clam meat aside to cool. This scene made the men around her confused.
Blake brought over some bandages and asked Ivy while wrapping up her injury: "What's your name? Where do you live?"
"I...I'm Luna, an orphan!"
