When Shen Qi returned, she saw Ai Chu standing at the entrance of the cave, looking around. When he saw her, his eyes widened with joy.

She followed Shen Qi's words and didn't go out of the cave, but Qiqi hadn't come back for a long time, so she was a little worried and just stayed at the door to look for her sight.

Shen Qi walked over, holding a round animal skin in his hand.

Ai Chu saw it and asked, "Qiqi, what is this?"

"I don't want it." Shen Qi took out a lighter, threw the animal skin on the open ground, set it on fire, smoke billowed, and the burning object turned into ashes.

"By the way, Qiqi, that damn evil beast came looking for you just now. He left when you were not here."

"Hmm? Which one?"

"It's the evil beast that smiles maliciously and often disturbs you."

Shen Qi thought about it carefully and seemed to match Yan Di's number.

Just as I thought of this person, his impatient voice came from behind, "Xiao Qi, you are finally back!"

Shen Qi looked back and saw him grinning in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"Look at what you said, I came here just to ask you to do something!"

Shen Qi kept silent. Every time he came to her, he asked her for help.

Yan Di spread out his palm, revealing a third-level beast core.

When she saw it, she raised her eyebrows.

Yan Di looked at her with a sad expression, "You won't forget what I said last time, will you?"

"What?"

"You promised me to trade you a third-level beast core for some fragrant seasoning. Did you forget?!"

Yan Di's tone was a little excited. She wouldn't disagree to exchange with him, right? The taste of that seasoning really made him think about it day and night!

"You wait." If he hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten.

Shen Qi returned to the cave, bought a bottle of seasoning from the mall, took it out, and handed it to him.

Yan Di also gave him the third-level beast core. The moment the seasoning bottle was in his hand, he couldn't wait to open it and smell it. Hmm... it smelled really good, it was still that pungent yet charming fragrance.

"By the way, Xiao Qi, when I came here, the ape beast was cooking rice. I heard that some females like it. Do you want to let your female have a taste too?"

"Ape beast?" She remembered that apes could grow and cook rice, so the ape beast he was talking about should be from the ape tribe.

Seeing her interest, Yan Di smiled and said, "I can take you there."

It was also thanks to her trading the seasoning with him, otherwise he would not have had the free time to take her to watch the boring process of cooking rice.

"Okay, please lead the way."

The closer you get, the stronger the rice aroma becomes.

Shen Qi saw that several beastmen had started a fire with an iron pot on top. The lid of the pot was jumping up and down, and bubbles were appearing on the edge of the lid.

She walked over slowly and asked one of the apes, "Is there cooked rice in here?"

The ape-beast looked at her and replied, "Yes, we just harvested it yesterday and cooked it today."

Shen Qi didn't expect that there would be a gorilla beast that grows rice in the Evil Beast City.

I couldn't help but ask them, "Have you been growing rice since you came to Demonic Beast City?"

One of the apes added a handful of firewood and said, "Of course. We are all stray apes, unwanted orcs in our tribe. We have a place to grow crops here, and we can even use rice to please the females."

Seeing her deep in thought, Yan Di smiled and said, "They came in voluntarily. We didn't force them."

It seems the evil beast in the rumors is somewhat different from what we see...

The bubbling in the pot became slower and slower, and finally stopped. The ape beast lifted the lid of the pot with his bare hands, and found that it was filled with white rice grains.

"It's just cooked. Would you like to try it? And this beautiful female too." One of the apes looked at Ai Chu beside her.

It was the first time Ai Chu heard an orc call her beautiful. Her face turned red and she said, "Let me try it."

The ape scooped out a piece, placed it on a clean leaf, and handed it to her.

Ai Chu took it and moved it in front of Shen Qi, "Qi Qi, you eat first."

Seeing her actions, the ape beast smiled softly, "Just eat it yourself, he has a share too."

The ape beast prepared a larger rice ball for Shen Qi and handed it to her. After all, she was a male beast and had a bigger appetite.

Seeing him take another big spoonful, Yan Di refused first and shook his head, "I don't want to eat this, you guys eat it."

This thing tastes terrible, only females like to eat it.

After saying that, he warned Shen Qi, "Let me tell you, none of us male beasts like to eat this rice, so don't eat it and end up vomiting."

When Shen Qi saw the plump grains of rice, he thought it was delicious. However, it was difficult to satisfy everyone, and it was just that he himself did not like it.

She took a bite of the crystal clear rice. It was fragrant, had just the right amount of stickiness, and tasted great. It was even better than any rice she had eaten before.

He finished eating quickly and saw that Ai Chu had also finished eating, with a look of unsatisfied expression on his face.

"Qiqi, this rice is so delicious!"

“It’s really delicious.”

"No way, is this really that delicious?" Seeing that her appetite was even greater than before, Yan Di was a little bit unbelievable. He picked up a grain of rice and ate it.

The food was tasteless and hard to swallow. Yan Di frowned bitterly. It was not delicious!

Shen Qi had the rice she had been longing for, so she didn't miss this good opportunity and directly negotiated a deal with them, "Do you still have rice? I want to buy some."

"Buy?" A gorilla looked puzzled.

"I'm going to exchange it with you guys. I'll use a third-level beast core."

"Okay, okay." Hearing the word "beast core", they nodded hurriedly, very satisfied with the deal.

Although they have weak abilities, they have strong survival abilities and can cook the simplest meals. They are not used to eating raw food and only eat it after cooking.

Now, when they heard that she was going to exchange it with the beast core, they were stunned. This meant that there was a chance for their abilities to be improved.
