Chapter 265 A Life Alone

"Don't worry, Ningning. He's probably out hunting like Xuanlin and the others."

Xuanmo said, "After all, the cold season is approaching, and the orcs need to go out hunting."

“Yes, Ningning, don’t worry about him,” Mo Li said. “Xuanmo and I also need to prepare for the upcoming cold season.”

Hearing their words, Shu Ning felt relieved and asked, "Are you busy today?"

“Yes, I also need to go back to the Black Serpent Clan,” Xuanmo replied, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. “Ningning, do you want to come along?”

“The Black Serpent Clan is too far away. Ningning has only been back for a short time and now she has to travel with you again. Ningning, let’s not go,” Mo Li said. “You’re so busy as soon as you get back, how will you have time to think about it?”

"Xuanmo, I won't be going to the Black Serpent Clan. If you're busy, go back first. Don't worry about me," Shu Ning said.

“Alright then,” Xuanmo came over, cupped her cheeks in his hands, and leaned down to kiss her lips.

He released her after a moment, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait for me to come back."

"Okay." Shu Ning looked up at his cold and stern face and said.

Xuanmo smiled slightly, gently stroked her head, then turned and transformed back into his original form to leave.

Several Black Serpent Clan subordinates who were guarding not far from the entrance to the Wolf Clan also followed Xuan Mo.

"goodbye……"

Shu Ning watched his retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions, and said softly, "Xuan Mo."

A cool autumn breeze blew by, ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead and the hem of her skirt.

The wind lingered, leaving behind a desolate and melancholic feeling.

"Ningning," Mo Li said, gently patting her back to comfort her as she looked at her reluctant expression.

Shu Ning looked up at him, "Hmm?"

"I also want to go back to the Jiao Clan."

Shu Ning frowned slightly and asked, "Is Mo Li going back too?"

"Don't worry," Mo Li tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, "I'll be back soon."

Looking at her, he smiled slightly and said, "Unlike them, they all have their own tribal affairs to deal with."

"Take care of yourself," he said, gently kissing her forehead before standing up. "I'm leaving."

She pursed her lips and said, "Mm."

"Be careful," Shu Ning said, waving as she watched his retreating figure.

Shu Ning watched their retreating figures for a moment before turning around and walking back to the wolf clan.

Back in the cave, she looked at the fur coats that the Nightmare Sent had brought, tidied them up, and put them into her spatial storage.

Wear it when it gets cold.

After tidying up, I sat on the bed, closed my eyes, and went into the space to look at the plants I had planted before. Some of them had already started to bear fruit.

She cleared a new plot of land, intending to grow some staple foods.

A lot of soil and river water were brought over. The climate in the wolf tribe is suitable for growing rice. After sowing some rice seeds, they prepared to plant some other things.

The seed bank in the space contains many different kinds of seeds.

We can't waste it; I wonder if it will spoil if left for too long.

So they moved some more silt over, intending to plant some fruits and vegetables.

"Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, green peppers..."

"They even have mushroom spores!" she exclaimed in surprise, quickly counting the names on the packaging: "Enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, seafood mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms..."

The climate of this space can be adjusted according to her wishes, and it can also be separated to create different seasonal climates.

Each small space is independent of the others.

The wheat that was sown earlier is almost ripe.

The climate in the adjacent space, where rice, vegetables, and fruits are grown, is like spring, with temperature and humidity that can be mimicked.

"These are practically natural greenhouse vegetables!" Shu Ning exclaimed excitedly, looking at the seeds she had sown.

The seed bank has fruit tree seeds, and although she has scattered quite a few, their growth cycle is relatively long, so she doesn't expect them to bear fruit this winter.

Although it is possible to accelerate plant growth and maturation by regulating the climate.

After sowing a large patch of seeds, she wanted to plant some seasonings: scallions, green onions, cilantro, and chili peppers...

After scattering the seeds she wanted to plant on the mud, Shu Ning came out again and opened her eyes to see that it was almost dark outside.

Although all she had to do was put the materials she needed in the right place, and she didn't grow them herself, she was still busy all day and felt a little tired.

I wonder if these seeds will be of any use in the coming winter.

“However…” she stretched and said, “It’s really nice to have such space and abilities without having to fight monsters and level up.”

"Gurgle..." My stomach growled.

She got up and went to the cave entrance, intending to make some handmade noodles.

After kneading the flour into a dough, take out a knife from the storage space and cut it into strips.

Then, the pot was placed on a stand, and the fire was lit to boil water.

Seeing that many of the wolf clan beastmen had returned and were laughing and chatting with their families in the distance, Shu Ning sat up and propped her chin up.

With a slight smile, she said, "It feels so good to have a home."

"Splash splash splash..."

Shu Ning snapped out of her daze at the sound of boiling water.

Put the noodles into the pot, and add some salt and Sichuan peppercorns.

Suddenly remembering she was out of oil, she took another piece of meat, cut off the fatty part, fried it in another pot to render the oil, and then poured it in.

"Let's leave it at that for now. There's no need to be so particular when you're eating alone."

After covering the pot again, she decided to plant some peanuts tomorrow.

"Maybe I could raise some animals," she muttered to herself, "pheasants, wild boars, fish..."

Speaking of fish, the water needs to be oxygenated, so we first took river water, along with the plants from the riverbed, and created a pond in the space.

"That's fine."

There were quite a few fish in the river, but they weren't small fish; there were only a few large ones.

"The handmade noodles are ready!" she said, opening the pot and releasing a wonderful aroma. "They smell so good!"

After scooping out the noodles, she cut a piece of honeydew melon and arranged it on the plate.

By this time it was completely dark, which didn't affect the meal, but it wasn't very enjoyable.

She retrieved a string of lights from her storage space and wrapped them around the trees in front of the hole, which had already lost many leaves.

Below is a wooden table. The cooked noodles and sliced ​​melon are placed on the wooden table, and then a wooden stool is moved over.

Once everything was ready, the noodles weren't so hot anymore.

"Finally, we can start eating." Shu Ning sat down and ate her noodles.

"Not bad," she boasted. "This melon is sweet too."

With the food grown in her space, she won't have to worry about hunting this winter.

They were all preparing for winter. Although they had plenty of items in their storage space, they still needed to make plans for themselves in advance.

A crescent moon hung overhead, and under the tree in front of the cave, a string of lanterns illuminated Shu Ning as she ate noodles.

Suddenly a cool breeze blew by.

"Ha...choo!"

Shu Ning got goosebumps all over. She took out a piece of animal skin coat from her spatial storage and put it on before continuing to eat.

“Winter…” She looked up at the withered leaves falling from the trees, landing right on the table.

"It'll definitely be very cold in the river then," she said, taking a bite of a melon. "What will we do for a bath then?"

In the Beast World, almost no Beastman takes a bath in winter.

They don't need to worry about that, but she wants to take a bath.

How can we solve this problem?
