Gu Shuo picked it up, but for a moment, he couldn't recall where he had seen it before. He examined it over and over, and only after a long while did it hit him. "Isn't this the wild fruit that grows on the hills of the Barbarian Clan's lands? What is this thing good for?"
"Oh, they're quite the treasure. You can make food out of them."
"Eat? I seem to remember they aren't edible." As he spoke, Gu Shuo skeptically placed the fruit in his mouth. An intensely bitter taste immediately spread through his mouth. He frowned, and even after taking a few sips of tea, his tongue still tingled with bitterness.
"It's too bitter. Truly inedible."
Hiding a smile, Ye Qianning took an item from her storage space and handed it to him. "Here, try this instead."
Gu Shuo took it, hesitating as he looked at the dark-colored thing in his hand. He took a tentative bite. There was no bitterness. On the contrary, his mouth filled with a smooth, fragrant sweetness.
