The next day, Nanqing opened her eyes to the aroma of roasted meat.

As soon as I stepped out of the stone house, I saw Mo Ye lighting a fire on the stone stove on the right side of the house, roasting a leg of some kind of wild animal.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Mo Ye took two large green leaves, placed them on the stone stool, and pulled her to sit down.

"This is a goat-like animal; the meat is very tender, you'll definitely like it."

Nan Qing noticed that although his grilling technique was a bit clumsy, it was clearly different from simply putting the meat directly on the fire before, and there were also several salted fruits with the juice squeezed out next to him.

In fact, Mo Ye had gone to his mother beast early in the morning to learn how to grill meat again.

Although the little female's food is delicious, he wants to be a useful male, one who can raise the little female to be even plumper and whiter.

Mo Ye carefully sliced ​​off a small piece of meat with his stone knife, held it between his fingertips, and brought it to her lips, saying with a hint of expectation:

"Qingqing, you should try it, it's sure to be delicious this time."

Nan Qing pushed him away, wrinkling her nose and leaning back.

"Wait, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

After saying that, he got up and walked away, filled a bamboo tube with water, and took out some sticky tree branches and leaves from the stone house.

This sticky tree is unique to the Beast World Continent. It is a tree whose branches ooze a sticky sap, and its leaves have a refreshing minty taste when bitten. The beastmen of this continent use the branches and leaves of this tree to clean their mouths.

She first put a few leaves in her mouth and chewed them up, then slowly cleaned her mouth with a twig.

The branches of the sticky tree are not hard; when you bite them, they feel soft and spongy, and won't hurt your gums at all. Moreover, the sap inside will slowly form very fine foam, sweeping away the stale air in your mouth.

After carefully washing up and washing her face, she sat back down next to Mo Ye and took a bite of the meat when he handed it to her again.

Hmm... it's not bad at all. Although it doesn't have the same culinary skills as his other small worlds, it's so much better than the meat he grilled last time.

"Delicious~~"

Nanqing's words made Moye's eyes light up, and he continued to use the sharp stone knife to cut off pieces of meat and carefully feed them to her.

Just as one of them was happily eating and the other was focused on feeding the other.

Suddenly, a long wolf howl was heard, echoing over the tribe. Soon, several responses came from all directions of the tribe, with howls rising and falling.

Nan Qing turned to look at Mo Ye curiously, her eyes asking him what he meant.

Mo Ye listened for a while and then explained:

"It's to deliver a message, telling the females responsible for picking today to gather at the tribe center, and we'll be setting off soon."

As he spoke, he used a leaf to wipe away the bits of grease that had gotten on Nanqing's lips, the action so natural.

Normally, picking teams don't set off this early during the hot season, but because they discovered new food yesterday, Bai Ya decided to leave earlier and continue to lead the team herself.

Upon hearing this, Nanqing urged Moye to hurry up. She wanted to continue looking for other things. It would be more fun to go outside and play than to be bored in the stone house and only be able to sleep. Besides, she really liked the smell of flowers and plants.

When Nanqing and Moye arrived, more than twenty females had already gathered in the open space of the tribe. Some of them were not recognized by Nanqing, but most of them had been in contact with or seen before. In addition, there were dozens of large baskets and hampers piled up in the open space.

Looks like today's harvest is going to be huge!

Nanqing probably forgot about the two sweet potatoes she had thrown into the fire to roast yesterday, but the other members of the tribe who had been given sweet potatoes did not forget. Some tried eating them raw, some roasted them until soft as Nanqing had instructed, and some boiled them in water.

Regardless of the method of preparation, the orcs who ate the stone melon all quite liked it, and even some male orcs thought it tasted good.

So today, not only did the females who were supposed to pick the fruit come today, but some who weren't supposed to also came on their own initiative, wanting to go together and bring back more delicious stone melons.

When Bai Ya saw Mo Ye and Nan Qing arrive, he walked towards them. Nan Qing patted Mo Ye on the shoulder, signaling him to put him down.

"Nanqing, we're going to dig up all the stone melons from the valley and let them dry in the sun, so you don't need to go."

Bai Ya's expression and tone were still so gentle, giving one the feeling of being caressed by a spring breeze.

However, Nanqing had no intention of continuing to dig for those stone melons; she just wanted to go along and have some fun.

"It's okay, I'm wearing a hat, and I want to go and see if I can find any other food besides the stone gourd."

As she spoke, she adjusted her hat, looking at the position of the sun above her head. It must be around ten o'clock now, and the sun was already quite strong. However, the brim of her hat was very large, covering her shoulders and arms completely.

Besides, those little stones aren't afraid of the sun!

Bai Ya glanced at the hat on her head, then at Mo Ye, whose eyes were practically glued to her. A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes, and she nodded in agreement. However, she still gave Mo Ye a word of advice:

"Moye, you don't need to go to the hunting team today. Instead, go with the gathering team and make sure to protect Nanqing."

"The female beast I know."

Even without Bai Ya saying anything, he would definitely go with Qingqing. The little female's legs are so thin, how could she walk such a long distance?

So, when Bai Ya blew the bone whistle to announce the departure, Mo Ye picked her up again without saying a word, letting her sit on his shoulders, and also took Nan Qing's little basket.

"Hold on tight."

He carried a basket in one hand and rested the other on his two thin legs that dangled in front of his chest, walking briskly forward with the picking team.

Because there were a lot of stone gourds to move today, in addition to the two males who were normally assigned to protect the picking team, Rock also arranged for five other males who were not participating in the hunting team today, including Lin Tian.

Seeing Mo Ye and Nan Qing's intimate posture, all the beastmen consciously refrained from approaching. Even Duo Ya stayed with the other females, glancing at her from time to time, and occasionally huddling together and laughing softly, clearly discussing Nan Qing and Mo Ye.

But Lin Tian was completely oblivious to this, and besides Mo Ye, he and Su Feng were the first to see Nan Qing. He considered himself to be quite familiar with this little female.

He excitedly approached Nan Qing and asked with a grin:

"Little female, do you remember me?"
