Inspired by them, Nanqing also took some hay and huddled together with Duoya, learning how to weave straw hats.

Before long, a number of hats of various styles were woven in front of Nanqing.

There were the classic flat-brimmed straw hats, as well as hats she had woven in the style of British hats, and hats like the one she had worn before, with the brim scattered haphazardly, looking casual and free.

She said it herself, a simple hat, so easy to make!

She even wove several frogs, grasshoppers, butterflies, and other shapes out of hay. Although they seemed a little strange, the cubs loved them. A group of little wolves and soft little females surrounded her, lying at her feet and hugging her legs, asking her to make some more.

Bai Ya sat to one side, arranging the herbs while lovingly watching Nan Qing play with the cubs. She only rescued Nan Qing from the group of furry creatures when the sun was directly overhead.

Nanqing followed Baiya to their stone house. Luo Ke was not there; he had gone out with the hunting team. After Nanqing saw Baiya's method of grilling meat, she realized how outrageous Mo Ye was.

The problem isn't with the way the world grills meat; the problem is with the thing itself!!

Nan Qing watched with curiosity as Bai Ya poured a yellow fruit juice onto the piece of roasted meat.

"Bai Ya, what kind of fruit is this?"

Although Bai Ya was somewhat surprised that Nan Qing didn't even know this, she didn't show it. She showed her another fruit, a smooth, slightly soft yellow fruit, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

"This is salted fruit. If you spread this on the meat, it will taste better."

Nan Qing first used the system to explore.

Salted fruit

[Unique to the Beast World Continent, non-toxic, edible, providing orcs with the salt their bodies need]

Then she imitated Bai Ya, squeezing the juice onto the roasted meat with her fingers with a little force. The fruit was very juicy, and the skin broke with just a little pressure.

After it was baked, Nanqing tasted it and found that it was indeed salty, but the flavor was still bland and not as strong as the flavor brought by sea salt.

"Baiya, is our tribe far from the sea?"

Bai Ya stopped eating the barbecue, her eyes filled with confusion, seemingly not understanding what Nan Qing meant by "the sea area".

Upon seeing this, Nan Qing changed her description: "It's a very, very large lake, stretching as far as the eye can see, with no visible boundary. Moreover, the water tastes somewhat like salted fruit, very salty."

Bai Ya seemed to be thinking for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about the Endless Lake?"

Nan Qing's eyes lit up: "Endless Lake? Does the lake water there taste like salted fruit?"

Bai Ya nodded and continued, "Yes, if our tribe travels ten days south, there will be the Endless Lake. The water there tastes somewhat like salted fruit, but it's undrinkable; it will cause the orcs to die of thirst."

"Legend has it that those are the tears of the Beast God, and beastmen must not touch them."

Nan Qing paused for a moment, this....

The Beast World Continent has legends of Beast Gods. In large tribes, there are also priests. It is said that priests can communicate with Beast Gods and convey the instructions given by Beast Gods. This should be true. Then Beast Gods should be the Heavenly Dao of this world.

As for the Beast God's tears...

She suddenly remembered that in another small world, there was a country where people could eat anything that wasn't poisonous, cook anything that was slightly poisonous, and soak anything that was highly poisonous in alcohol—basically, they could eat anything!

She misses the days when she could eat all sorts of strange and cute snacks.

Speaking of which, I'm getting a little hungry... I'll treat myself to a nice meal when I get back!

However, since they are all "human" and mortals, why are humans so curious while beastmen are not curious at all? Haven't they ever wondered why the seawater is so salty? Why does it taste like salted fruit?

"Bai Ya, actually, seawater is edible, just like salted fruit. You can spread it on grilled meat, and it tastes better than salted fruit. It just requires other methods to extract the salt from the water."

Although Bai Ya had some doubts about Nan Qing's mention of "seawater" and "salt," she listened to everything and planned to ask the priest about it later.

"Nanqing, does your tribe only eat the salt you mentioned, and not salted fruit?"

Nan Qing nodded: "Salted fruit has a milder saltiness than sea salt. Moreover, salt can be used not only to season food but also to preserve it."

She also told Bai Ya a lot about food cooking. In fact, the original "she" came to the Beast World with the system. It was a collaboration between the Heavenly Dao of the Beast World and other Heavenly Daos that sent "her" to this world in order to spread more knowledge and promote the development of the Beast World civilization.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the Beast World was uncooperative and acted without restraint, throwing "her" directly from the sky, causing her to die as soon as she transmigrated.

Now that she's Nan Qing, she's not particularly interested in spreading civilization, but if the beastmen are interested and she doesn't have to do the hard work of being a beast of burden, she'd be quite happy to do it.

After all, there are countless small worlds in the human realm, and her coming to this small world can be considered a cause-and-effect relationship.

Bai Ya's eyes lit up as she listened, and her heart pounded. She realized there were so many ways to cook meat: frying, stir-frying, stewing, boiling, smoking, marinating...

In addition to leafy greens and meat, there are many other foods suitable for females to eat, and Nanqing's concept of planting and breeding also caught her eye.

Yes, those leafy vegetables and fruits also grow on this land, just not within the tribe.

However, if these things were transplanted to the vicinity of the tribe, their gathering would become much easier, and they would be able to store more food for the cold season.

White Adam immediately invited Nanqing to join the tribe's harvesting team. This seemingly fragile little female was actually too clever. If what she said could be implemented, she seemed to be able to foresee the changes that would happen to the tribe.

She even took Nanqing to the priest's stone house as soon as Nanqing finished eating the roasted meat in her hand.

All priests in the Beast World are female. Each generation of priests is chosen from among the tribes by the previous priest following the instructions of the Beast God.

The priestess before me was a white-haired female wolf, her long silver hair braided into countless fine braids, adorned with various bone bells. Her aged face was painted with mysterious totems and symbols in red paint, extending from her forehead to her neck.

Kneeling beside her was a young female, dressed in the same style of long animal skin robe. She was intently grinding some kind of herb, and was clearly the successor chosen by the old priest.

As Nan Qing was sizing her up, the priest's wise eyes were also looking at Nan Qing. She raised her hand to stop Bai Ya from saying what she was about to say.

"Bai Ya, you guys go out first..."
