"You're quite the all-rounder, kid. It's a real waste keeping you in the village!"
Accepting the food with a smile, Su Mo offered the compliment before taking a massive bite.
SSSS...
The chicken, roasted over a wood fire, had its exterior fat completely seared into the meat. With the very first bite, the tender, juicy meat mixed with the rich aroma of the fat, instantly overwhelming his senses. Another bite brought the sharp kick of the chili powder sprinkled on the crispy skin. It added a fiery heat to the already savory roast chicken, sending a wave of warmth through his entire body.
Roast chicken might not have been particularly tempting on a normal day, but out in the freezing night, it was so captivating that they could focus on nothing else. Making short work of their meal, the three of them devoured the chicken in under five minutes before flattening themselves back against the cold ground.
