Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 160: Weya’s Tribe

“Nicole, what’s for dinner today?” Mina’s eyes were filled with anticipation. She missed Nicole’s food. While she did love fish, after having eaten fish for 3 days in a row, she wanted to eat something else.

“It’s food that I researched and made by following the recipe that Young Master gave,” Nicole said softly.

“What food? Is it a new flavor of polished rice porridge?” Mina asked expectantly.

“No,” Nicole shook her head.

“A new type of egg-fried tomatoes? With soy eggs?” Anri asked, her hands on the table and her eyes shining brightly.

Nicole lightly slapped Anri on the head. “Just using a different type of egg doesn’t make it a new type of food.”

“Is there a new type of buns?” There were stars in Weya’s eyes.

“No buns for lunch,” Nicole sighed. She knew the favorite food of the beastkins in the City Lord’s Mansion. Anri loved egg-fried tomatoes, but she liked to add strange things to it. Mina loved polished rice porridge, and would blissfully enjoy even a simple porridge without anything else in it. Weya loved buns. She loved all kinds of buns. She had them for breakfast every day, and she had learned to make her own buns. Whenever she had the time, she would stay in the kitchen to experiment with new types of buns.

Previously, Weya had used lollipops as fillings for buns. Anri had excitedly tried the buns, and then… well, there was no and then.

The only thing Nicole knew was that Anri hadn’t touched lollipops that day afterward at all. She had also heard that Weya had gone to the bun store to get advice on new bun flavors, which confused Nicole a bit as she was the one who had taught the people in the bun stores how to make the buns.

Nicole glanced at Tess and looked at her breasts for a few seconds before turning her head away. How did her breasts grow so large?… Cough cough… Wait, what am I thinking? I’m supposed to be wondering what her favorite food would be.

“What’s wrong?” Tess asked, feeling Nicole’s gaze.

“No, it’s nothing,” Nicole shook her head.

“Alright, bring the food up. I’m also curious what today’s lunch is,” Liu Feng said, resting his chin on his palm.

“Huh? You don’t know either, Young Master?” Anri asked, surprised. “Weren’t you the one who taught Nicole?”

“Young Master gave me too many things, so I could only test the dishes one by one,” Nicole said.

Anri’s brown eyes flashed with curiosity. She wanted to see the recipes that Nicole had. To allow Nicole to make so many delicious foods, these recipes must also be divine artifacts.

Clap clap! Nicole clapped her hands, and the maids who were waiting outside the door walked in, each carrying a wooden tray, and they gently placed the wooden trays on the table.

“Oh, it’s pizza!” Liu Feng was surprised. “Nicole, you even managed to make this. Looks like you’re going to be the number one chef in West Sun City.”

“Don’t tease me, Young Master. I still have a long way to go,” Nicole said, embarrassed.

Liu Feng just smiled. Considering the food in this world, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the number one chef in this world.

“Woah! What a big cake!” Anri was about to drool just from looking at the pizza. She was staring at the pizza that had tomatoes and eggs as toppings.

“Let’s eat! It won’t taste good if it gets cold,” Liu Feng said, grabbing a slice of pizza and taking a big bite of it. He was surprised. This pizza is so much better than I expected, better than the pizza from the pizza stores on Earth.

“Wow! So much meat!” Tess took a whole pizza and started eating. The pizza she ate was full of meat, and she was so happy from eating that her eyes narrowed.

“Yum!” Weya stuffed pizza into her mouth one after another with her hands as if she were fighting someone for it.

“Hey! Mina, that’s my tomato and egg pizza!” Anri yelled angrily.

“I know it’s yours.” Mina held down Anri’s head with one hand and shoved the pizza into her mouth with her other hand. “That’s why I’m eating it.”

“Damn it!” Anri broke away from Mina’s hand and looked at Liu Feng pitifully. “Young Master, Mina took my food again.”

“Oh?” Liu Feng smiled lightly, stuffed the half-eaten pizza into Anli’s mouth, and said gently, “Then I’ll give you mine.”

“Mmm…” Anri dumbfoundedly nodded her head. She covered her mouth with both of her hands and looked around vigilantly at the girls.

Mina glanced at Anri and ate her pizza slowly. I’ve already kissed Young Master, so I don’t care about something like that.

…

Everyone had their fill eating pizza, and now, all of them were sitting relaxed on their chairs, patting their bulging stomachs. They had all eaten too much.

“Weya, can we talk about your matter?” Liu Feng asked suddenly. He was quite curious about her past. If all of the experiences of the beastgirls present were written, then it could make for an amazing new heartbreaking drama.

“Mhmm!” Weya sat up straight, her red eyes out of focus as she narrated her story.

The extremely cold snowstorm known as the Wraith of the Goddess of Ice and Snow that destroyed many countries and homes also affected Weya’s family. Her family was forced to move away from the beastkin kingdom, and after 3 years of hardships, they were finally able to settle in the Forbidden Mountain Range with their family members and some beastkin that had joined them along the way. They set up a tribe, with Weya’s parents as the chief of the tribe.

During their first year in the Forbidden Mountain range, it went well at the beginning. They could gather wild fruits and hunt small animals for food, but when winter came, the snow locked off the mountains, and many animals went into hibernation or migrated away from the mountains to other warmer places for food.

This caused Weya’s tribe to go through their first- food shortage- and about one-third of the beatskins in the tribe starved to death.

Winter was soon approaching this year. However, Weya’s parents had died at the hands of slave traders, so the tribe lost their leaders. The tribe ad 2 choices moving forward.

The first choice was for the tribe to dissolve. The beastkins in the tribe would each go their own ways, and the unlucky ones would be captured as slaves or starve to death. The lucky ones would find new tribes and join them, though very few tribes accepted stray beastkins into their tribes.

The second choice was to select a new chief and lead the beastkins in the tribe through the challenges. Weya was the daughter of the previous chiefs, so it made sense for her to become the new chief of the tribe. That was why her parents asked her to lead the tribe to the South.

However, Weya no longer wanted to go to the South, as she had found the “South” in the Western Lands.
