Ayra ignored their curiosity and smiled at her creation. "It’s not as perfect as the ones I have, but I’ll make do," she said as she happily took a bite.

It melted into her mouth, sending a satisfying sensation down her throat. She smiled at the feeling as she nodded. "Now that’s food."

The beastmen watched her eat, taking one bite after another. They stared as though they hadn’t seen a female eat before, but this time their eyes lingered around the meat. It smelled so good and looked ten times more delicious.

It was clear that they wanted a bite! But these men were clearly too proud to speak—especially since it was from Ayra.

But Ayra happily enjoyed her meal in their midst. Soon, she turned to Commander Lynn, who was eagerly staring at her.

"Want some?" She smiled at him. But he kept a cold face.

"Not hungry," Commander Lynn insisted, but his stomach said otherwise. It groaned loudly. Ayra smiled, shaking her head. She continued eating.

"How can she make something that looks this delicious?" they were surprised. "Didn’t they say she was basically useless?"

"Don’t be fooled, guys. It might be one of her tricks," another said.

Just then, a youth beastman who had been staring for long approached Ayra. Everyone stared in shock as the young male bear beast walked up to her.

He said nothing, but stood there staring at her meat.

"What’s that stupid one doing? Doesn’t he know of the heartless F-rank female?! He should come out if he doesn’t want to get harmed by her!" someone said.

But Ayra rather gave the youth a warm smile. "Hungry?"

The youth nodded profusely. Ayra smiled as she handed him a portion of meat. "Enjoy."

"...!"

"Am I seeing things? Did the heartless female actually share? Did she really give away her food?" They only recalled her for snatching their meal without giving!

They stared in shock as the youth happily accepted it and took a bite.

"Maybe it’s not that good after all," a lion concluded, folding his arms.

But the youth’s expression lit up as soon as he had a taste. It rang through his brain as he smiled at Ayra. "This is the best meat I’ve tasted in my life! How did you make it??"

She smiled. "Easy thing." The youth happily sat down beside her to enjoy the meat.

"..."

"!!!"

Everyone was speechless. They never thought someone would enjoy the meat. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as they said! But how was that possible?

Now they all stared at her but were still too proud and unwilling to ask for some, even though their stomachs clearly groaned for it!

Ayra shook her head as she ate. Soon, she turned to Commander Lynn. He was still sitting there and staring at her, his cold predator eyes lingering all over her. She shivered. She couldn’t tell if he was just hungry or horny. Was he still thinking about what happened earlier?

She smiled as she got up and approached him. "Here, have some."

"No, I’m not—"

She didn’t let him finish his sentence but shoved the meat down his mouth.

"!!!"

"Is she crazy?!"

"This female is quite audacious! Does she not value her life?!"

"How dare she attack the commander? Now she really is asking for death! He will take her life now!"

They stared curiously, but Commander Lynn calmly took the meat from her hand and stared up at her. His eyes were cold and ruthless—he had thoughts of ending her. But he recalled that this female could actually soothe him. Something extremely impossible for anyone, and so he remained calm.

He took a bite of the meat instead.

"!!!"

"He actually ate it?"

"The cold Commander actually ate her meat and didn’t kill her?!"

Everyone was going insane at this new development! They couldn’t believe their eyes at all.

But Ayra smiled. She could see the gleamer in his eyes—he was clearly in awe of the meat. The exciting new taste lingered down his tongue and exploded into a million fragments of joyful flavor.

But he kept a cold face. "It’s just okay."

Ayra scoffed. "Hard to please," she muttered.

Ayra raised an eyebrow at the notifications. So he really was moved by that. Maybe this won’t be so difficult.

She sat down and continued enjoying her meat while the other beastmen stared in shock. Ayra smiled. "If anyone wants a taste, they can come and have some. It’s not like I’m hoarding it all."

"..."

They stared at her suspiciously. It was too good to be true. So no one approached. But the taste and fragrance of the meat was too attractive to look away from.

Soon, a fox beastman mustered up the courage and approached her. All gasped as they watched him stare at the meat. She smiled and handed him some.

The fox ate and immediately got pulled in. A smile flashed onto his face as he happily took the meat and went to sit down with his peers. His peers got curious and asked for a small portion. He shared, and everyone was pulled in.

And like that, more people gave in and started approaching for a share of meat. Ayra didn’t have enough, so she requested a large portion of raw meat.

Commander Lynn granted it as everyone watched her go through the same procedure in producing them all. When she was done, everyone around took their portion.

"This tastes... amazing... Better than expected!"

"I can’t believe the female made this. How can she make such a different tasting meat which tastes so much better??"

"This is extremely good. I wish I could have this all day!"

The beastmen were impressed. Ayra simply smiled as she watched them enjoy it. She guessed food was indeed a way to get to a man’s heart. Perhaps their love for the meal was stronger than their hatred for her.

While everyone enjoyed the meat, some beastmen closely beside Ayra were casually discussing something that had caught her attention. She couldn’t help but concentrate and listen.

"... I heard the tribe leader is back," one said.

"Yes, yes. After being out for days, they’re finally back. But since they haven’t come out, do you think something happened?"

"I think so. Given that they went out for a dangerous task, something must have happened. Maybe they met a high-rank beast monster? What if they’ve gone berserk now?"

"I doubt it. Even if they do, they should have some pills from the upper tribe to soothe them."

They simply shrugged. No one knew the details, so they didn’t bother speaking much about it.

Ayra simply listened. Tribe leader? She wondered who that was. But at the moment, she wasn’t really interested to know. She was planning on leaving here. Maybe she’d have nothing to do with that.

She casually shook her head at the thought as she continued her meat.

Just then, the tiger beastman approached Commander Lynn. Ayra recognized him as his subordinate from earlier. Ayra casually stared as the two of them spoke.

"Have you informed the tribe leader about the female around?" Commander Lynn inquired.

The tiger hesitated and then nodded. "Yes."

"What did they say?" Commander Lynn inquired.

Now Ayra was curious. She guessed they reported her presence before the tribe leader, and now she was curious to know her fate.

"Kill her off. Immediately."

"..."
