They stayed at the beach for three days before finally setting off to go home.

Bai Jing's medication had long since worn off. Knowing that Yu Wanwan had gone to the seaside, he immediately transformed into his beast form to find her.

Fei Han didn't want to get involved, but thinking of the task the little female had assigned him before she left and her pleading eyes, she still tried to persuade Bai Jing not to go over there, and told him the reason why Yu Wanwan had decided to take this risk.

Through the bond between partners, Bai Jing knew she was safe. After being persuaded by Fei Han, he sat at the cave entrance every day like a Buddha, waiting for her to return with a blank expression.

Yu Wanwan was held in Mo Zhou's arms. From afar, she saw Fei Han flying over to greet them, and Bai Jing sitting motionless at the entrance of the cave for some unknown reason.

Fei Han folded its wings and landed in front of Yu Wanwan. It picked her up from Mo Zhou and held her tightly in its arms, refusing to let go: "Wanwan, Wanwan, you're finally back. I thought Mo Zhou had run away with you and didn't want me anymore."

"How could I not want you?" Yu Wanwan chuckled. "I like you the most."

Sitting next to him, Mo Zhou frowned and said coolly, "Isn't I the one you like the most?"

Yu Wanwan's scalp tingled as she realized she had said the wrong thing. She quickly fawned over Mo Zhou and tried to make amends: "I like every single one of you. You are all my favorite people."

Mo Zhou: "Hmph~" A woman's words are deceitful.

Yu Wanwan: Oh no, we've crashed and burned.

Fei Han was reunited with her after a long separation. She stood there for a while before realizing that they must be tired after being away for so many days and needed to rest.

Fei Han carried Yu Wanwan toward the cave, and Mo Zhou thoughtfully didn't try to take it from him, but followed behind with the things.

The closer Yu Wanwan got to the cave, the clearer she saw Bai Jing sitting at the entrance, and his handsome, expressionless face.

Yu Wanwan's joyful smile vanished, and she struggled twice in Fei Han's arms to get him to put her down.

It's more important to quickly appease them and admit your mistake!

"Bai Jing, I miss you so much." Yu Wanwan ran over and hugged Bai Jing's neck.

Bai Jing didn't say anything, but reached out and patted Yu Wanwan's head. In that instant, Yu Wanwan felt as if he had patted her heart.

Stepping back slightly from his embrace, Yu Wanwan clasped her hands together in front of her, cautiously observing Bai Jing's expression.

Did you have fun going out?

"I'm not happy." Yu Wanwan shook her head.

Bai Jing twitched the corner of his mouth: "Weren't you very happy just now?"

Yu Wanwan, with her strong will to survive: "I'm happy because I saw you guys. I'm so tired out here, and I just want to go home every day."

Bai Jing looked at her intently, his dark eyes filled with unreadable emotions. Just as Yu Wanwan sensed that he was about to get angry, Bai Jing suddenly sighed and pulled Yu Wanwan into his arms again: "I just want you to come back safe and sound."

These words immediately broke Yu Wanwan's defenses. Her nose tingled, and she struggled to suppress the bitterness welling up in her heart.

"Wanwan, promise me you'll never take any risks for me again."

As a male, his greatest responsibility is to protect his mate and provide her with the best life. However, he was inadequate and caused the little female to risk her life for him, even running into the territory of the cold-blooded beastmen.

Bai Jing couldn't get angry at Yu Wanwan because he knew the little female was doing it for him. He was only angry that his abilities were not enough, and he couldn't even give Yu Wanwan the salt crystal.

...

The news that the tribe had brought back salt crystals spread quickly, and the orcs gathered in the square to see the salt crystals they had brought back.

These salt crystals were different from the previous ones; they were whiter and crisper. One of the orcs took a bite and found them to have a strange salty taste.

This puzzled him greatly: "Can this salt crystal be used?"

“Of course not.” Yu Wanwan followed Bai Jing to the square: “This is just the initial extraction of salt crystals. It needs to be filtered several times to remove impurities and then purified to become the final product.”

The beastmen couldn't understand anything about the filtration and purification that Yu Wanwan was talking about, so Yu Wanwan quickly demonstrated it to them.

She had someone bring clean water to dissolve the salt crystals, filter out the impurities, and then put them back on the fire to boil.

In order to filter the water cleanly, she even sacrificed her last piece of cloth, adding cotton, sand, gravel, and other materials to make a simple water filter.

After repeating this process several times, the salt, which was previously not pure enough and looked like burnt rice, finally became snow-white and delicate.

Yu Wanwan picked up a bit and tasted it. The strange taste from before had disappeared, leaving only a normal salty taste, which was much saltier than the salt crystals from before.

After watching her work, the orcs realized that the salt crystals were even more different from before. Although the color was beautiful, they weren't sure if they were edible.

Feeling that it was about time, Yu Wanwan put the finished salt into a bamboo bottle. Although it couldn't compare to modern refined table salt, it was still much better than the rock salt she had before.

"Bai Jing, can you cook me a dish?"

Yu Wanwan knew that the beastmen had never tried this kind of salt before, so instead of going through a lot of trouble to explain it, she might as well just cook a dish for them to try.

Bai Jing set up a wok, blanched the raw meat, sliced ​​it, and stir-fried it with chili peppers and other side dishes.

The aroma wafted through the air, and the beastmen craned their necks to watch their chieftain cook.

When he was adding salt, he instinctively grabbed a handful and was about to pour it in when Yu Wanwan quickly stopped him: "You don't need to add so much, this salt is much saltier than before."

"How much should we put in?"

Yu Wanwan picked up a small handful, estimated that it was about right, and put it in: "This should be enough."
