Hehe~

Zhao Lu smiled without saying a word.

The group watched for a while, but the two boars showed no signs of stopping, nor did they change their posture.

“Boring!” Zhao Lu said.

"Then let's not waste time here. Go and gather the essence of herbs and plants for me," Ye Li said.

So, the group left the pigpen and headed towards the direction of the plant essence they had planted earlier.

Before leaving, Ye Li took out two portions of meat and two pieces of herbal essence from his spatial ring and placed them in the pigpen as a reward for the two breeding pigs after their hard work.

Collecting the essence of plants is a bit like pulling up carrots.

The group spent half a day pulling out all the essence of the plants they had planted.

Some of the plant essences were even larger than those found in resource boxes.

"With so much essence from plants, it would last a long time even if we ate it all as food," Zhao Lu said.

"Eat it as food? Be careful, or you won't be able to sleep at night because of the swelling!" Ye Li said.

Zhao Lu grinned and said, "That's a man's business, it has nothing to do with us."

"......"

"Master, dinner's ready!"

At the entrance to the nurturing space, Xiao Ai, wearing an apron, shouted loudly.

"Have a meal!"

Ye Li stored all the plant essences he had picked into his spatial ring, and then walked towards the outside carriage.

Zhao Lu, Li Qingge, and Bai Yuekui continued to follow behind.

When the group arrived at the carriage, Jianjian, Xiaoshihou, and Jiji had already set dinner on the table.

Meat rolls, insect meat rolls.

There were also several kinds of green vegetables.

The hot pot in the middle is steaming.

Zhao Lu's eyes lit up as she looked at the dinner prepared on the table. She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, it's been so long since I've had hot pot!"

Ye Li took out six bottles of fruit wine from the refrigerator and said, "Hot pot goes well with wine, the more you eat, the better!"

However, Zhao Lu suddenly turned her head, gave Ye Li a deep look, and a hint of ambiguity appeared on her face. She teased, "Oh, is someone planning to get all three of us drunk and then do something naughty?"

Ye Li immediately retorted, "I'm not that kind of person."

Zhao Lu continued teasingly, "Oh right, you're not human when you're... you know."

After saying that, he winked playfully at Ye Li.

"......"

Ye Li sat back down in his seat and poured all the meat from the plate into the pot.

The meat slices were cut very thinly, and they were fully cooked after just a quick blanch.

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately scooped a spoonful of meat from the hot pot into his bowl and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Zhao Lu silently swallowed, and sighed with envy, "I'm so envious of Yue Kui's appetite!"

However, Bai Yuekui was engrossed in his meal and paid no attention to what others were saying. His mouth was full of food, and he mumbled indistinctly, "~%ji?…,#li*☆&℃gu(╹ڡ╹ )lu$︿★?~"
