Xiao Li looked at the sky; the sun was indeed quite strong. Their baskets were already full of fruit, and it was about time to head back.

"Okay, let's go back now."

The group carried baskets and hampers on their backs and walked back, quickly returning to their tribe.

After putting everything into the shady cave in the tribe where food was stored, Xiaoli returned home, having completed her gathering task for the day.

Bai Ling walked into the cave that the tribe had assigned to her. It was empty except for a few animal skins.

It was only because the clan chief saw that she had nothing and had nothing to sleep on that he took pity on her and gave her some.

Exhausted, she collapsed onto the animal hide.

The lightning strike had really frightened her. She hadn't expected that 007, who was usually so cute, could be so ruthless when punishing people; it was simply unbearable for anyone.

"Waaah... I want to go home, I don't want to be here anymore."

It took 007 a while to recover; it needs energy to punish its host, you know.

"Host, don't cry. As long as you conquer the entire continent, I can take you home."

Bai Ling's crying stopped abruptly. Was this really true?

"Of course it's true. I don't have enough energy right now to take you across. Once you gain the faith points of the entire continent, we'll have enough energy to cross over."

Bai Ling had just been punished and still harbored some resentment towards 007. She remained silent, a silent form of protest.

"Alright, host, don't be angry. You just broke my rules, so I punished you. You need to trust me wholeheartedly from now on so that we can cooperate smoothly."

Bai Ling was helpless against 007. She had been transported to this world alone and had no one to rely on but to trust him.

"Host, I have some good news for you. Those primitive people's faith points didn't just increase for nothing. I've already extracted some of them."

Bai Ling had been itching to try it ever since 007 told her that faith points could be exchanged for things. Now that she heard that she could use a little faith point, she immediately became interested.

"Really? What can I exchange it for?"

007 opened the online store, which contained food and household items—all daily necessities.

"But that's all, because your faith points are too low."

Bai Ling's eyes lit up at the sight of all the food. She had been here for several days and hadn't had a proper meal of rice yet. She was really craving her braised chicken rice.

"I want to redeem this braised chicken rice. I need to eat it first; I'm starving."

007 sighed inwardly, looking at his spineless host. This glutton, how come she doesn't starve to death?

In the end, 007 gave in and helped her redeem ten servings of braised chicken rice.

Bai Ling ate two meals before she fully recovered; she was alive again.

“Host, your cave is very close to Bai Li’s cave. Why don’t you give her this braised chicken rice? It will also please her.”

Bai Ling was a little reluctant, but since she had only eaten two portions, the remaining eight portions were not as tempting.

She generously picked up the two boxes of food and then walked towards Bai Li's cave.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the cave, so she had to take the food back.

Xiao Li went to the clan chief, where she handed him a comb and mirror set.

"Chief, I think this comb is very useful. It's perfect for combing hair."

The chieftain picked it up and combed its fur; it felt quite comfortable, though it was a bit small.

"Chief, it would be even better if we made it bigger using trees, just like this one."

The clan chief's eyes lit up. "That's right!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it. You're great. You can take an extra piece of meat tonight."

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Thank you, Clan Chief."

She emerged from the cave; it was nearly dusk, and the hunting party should be returning soon.

She walked toward the square, where the tribe members would go to collect their food.

The campfire was already lit. Xiao Li's arrival did not alert anyone. The food distribution was handled by a group of elderly people who did not have much physical strength and were responsible for the tribe's food preparation.

"Li, you're here. Come here quickly."

Bai Qing's loud shouts and commotion were actually quite cute; her beastly form was represented by her nose, which didn't look strange at all. Rather, her personality was cheerful and lively, not fierce at all.

Xiao Li moved closer without making a sound. The original owner's three suitors were also in the crowd, but they all turned their heads away and didn't look at her.

Very good. Xiao Li hates this kind of emotional entanglement. The original owner handled it very well.

"Li, don't be sad. All three of them were rejected by Ling. It's really satisfying, isn't it?"

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Just don't come looking for her."

"Everyone gather around and share the food."

Xiao Li and the others waited together. The warriors went first; they were there to hunt and protect the tribe, and they received the most meat.

Next are the women, who have to harvest and maintain the tribe's household chores, which is also very hard work. Finally, there are the elderly and children, who receive the least.

Xiao Li received two pieces of meat today. She gave one piece to the original owner's mother, and she also brought a young child with her, who was the original owner's younger brother.

"Li, how have you been lately?"

Yan Shui was a little worried. Her daughter had just been rejected by her suitor. Would she be sad and angry?

She was from the neighboring Flame Lion tribe, and she only came to the White Tiger tribe when the two tribes intermarried.

"Mom, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Seeing that her daughter didn't seem sad, Yan Shui nodded and carried the child back to the cave.

Xiao Li was walking back with the meat when she ran into Bai Ling, who was carrying a lunchbox.

"Li, I've been looking for you for ages. Look what I brought you!"

When Xiao Li looked at it, she saw that the lunchbox had the words "Braised Chicken Rice" written on it in big letters.

Are you taking advantage of her because she can't read?

Seeing that Xiaoli didn't speak, Bailing stuffed the lunchbox into her arms and ran away.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Xiao Li took a sniff and it did smell quite fragrant. However, she had a top-notch kitchen, which contained a complete Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

She couldn't waste the food, so she headed towards her mother's cave. Her mother was still breastfeeding, and eating more would be good for the baby.

Bai Ling looked at the three warriors standing at the cave entrance and felt a surge of pride. Although she hadn't blended in with the women today, the men really liked her.

"Ling, we brought you meat, why didn't you go and get it?"

Bai Ling only took two red fruits; she didn't want the flesh, finding it too fishy and unpalatable.

Bai Ye was overjoyed. Did Ling have feelings for him? She even gave him meat.

Bai Ling thought for a moment, then went into the cave and took out three meals from the system space.

"This is for you. Thank you for helping me deliver the meat. Please have this."

All three of them looked delighted. Bai Ye was annoyed for a moment, but then he smelled the fragrance and felt relieved. Ling was just too kind.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The three of them obediently opened the package and started eating.

"Wow~ What delicious food is this? It's so good!"
