The Guardian's Sword

Due to the late hour, there were not many people on the street, but the food stalls
on both sides of the street were still open for business.

"There're many street foods here that are unique to Crosac's culture. You must
have never tasted them before!" Lisha confidently said.

Sean nodded with a smile. He was not particularly interested in food, even the
delicacies of Dragon Kingdom did not appeal to him, let alone the cuisine of the
City-State Union.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a food stall where the barbecue is really, really
delicious!"

After finishing speaking, Lisha pulled Sean's arm and headed towards the end of
the food street.

"What kind of barbecue are you talking about?" Sean asked, feeling slightly
curious.

Lisha, as the eldest daughter of the mayor in Crosac, Claremento Crosac, had
grown up with a rich and luxurious lifestyle.

The food that she regards as delicious must be exceptional...

This was Sean's assumption.

However, Lisha replied very unusually, "Barbecued bullfrog!"

"Bullfrog?" Sean felt his scalp tingling.

Although the supermarkets in Dragon Kingdom also sold bullfrogs, and some
night markets would even make barbecued or sautéed bullfrogs on the spot,
Sean had never eaten bullfrogs before.

Just thinking about the slimy skin of the bullfrog made him shudder.

Sean had even eaten mice before. During times of war, his unit experienced
shortages of supplies due to enemy pursuit and sieges. They had to eat
whatever they could find. Mice were already considered very good food because
they had a relatively high amount of meat.

Some soldiers were so hungry that they had to eat insects, grassroots, and
leaves. However, mice were mammals, while bullfrogs were amphibians.

Sean could accept eating mammals, but he simply could not bear to eat
amphibians.

Therefore, when he heard the word "bullfrog", he felt very uncomfortable deep
down.

However, Lisha looked so excited, so Sean could not refuse her kindness.

Soon, Lisha led Sean to the end of the food street. As they reached the end,
there were fewer food stalls and food carts on both sides, and only one large
food stall was present in the area in a radius of several dozen

meters.

"Uncle, give us four... No, six barbeque bullfrogs!" Lisha pulled Sean to sit on a
small stool and said cheerfully.

The stall owner glanced at Lisha and then greeted her with a smile, "Miss, it's
you again. You often come here to eat bullfrogs, and I remember you... Oh, is this
your boyfriend? He doesn't seem like a citizen of our city."

When Lisha heard the word "boyfriend", her cheeks blushed slightly, but she did
not explain anything.

Sean was also too lazy to explain. After all, the more he explained, the more
awkward it would become. Hence, pretending not to hear anything was the best
way to respond.

While barbequing the bullfrogs, the stall owner said, "I'm not bragging, but my
bullfrogs are the biggest on this street. One bullfrog can weigh more than half a
pound, and the biggest one is almost one pound. Can you two finish six
bullfrogs?"

"Of course we can. He has a big appetite!" Lisha laughed and said while looking
at Sean.

In fact, when Sean saw the bullfrogs barbequed on sticks, he already felt
uncomfortable in his chest. However, he still nodded.

"It's a good thing to have a big appetite. When I was young, I could eat more than
you!"

The stall owner was very enthusiastic and chatted for a while. Finally, he finished
barbequing the bullfrogs and placed them on the table in front of Lisha and Sean.
