The next morning

Iron-white, with snow-white hair, stood in the wheat field, harvesting wheat at a leisurely pace, seemingly relaxed and carefree, before he had collected a huge pile of wheat.

Her light pink eyes held a smug smile, and she would occasionally glance back at the small house in the center, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Wolf King was pruning tomato seedlings in the vegetable garden. With a nimble swipe of his sharp claws, he also picked some vegetables that he would eat that summer.

When Shengxia came to her senses, she thought about what happened last night, bit her lower lip, and gave a sweet, cloying smile. She raised her hand and pulled the blanket over her head.

He rolled around in the blanket, laughing foolishly.

They're so... good at having fun...

Ahhhhh, it's so delicious!

As the summer sun shrouded itself in its blankets, the two men's eyes lit up, and they stood up simultaneously, washed their hands, and headed towards the small bedroom.

This bedroom was made from leftover rosewood wood used when Qingmu was growing dragon fruit.

The room was tiny, with a door and a carved window; the bedroom contained only a huge bed.

Simple yet comfortable.

Two males met at the door, looked at each other with smiles at the teeth-cleaning branches in the other's hands, and pushed the door open to go inside.

Just then, Shengxia, who was hiding under the covers, froze when she heard the door open. Like an ostrich, half of her bottom was outside the covers and her head was inside, and she didn't move.

The wolf king looked at the female on the bed with gentle eyes, and stroked her head through the blanket with a look of doting affection.

"Xia, are you hungry? Get up."

His voice always had a calming effect on beasts, and Sheng Xia felt a sweet warmth in her heart, shifting uncomfortably.

He was thinking to himself, "Did they not see her rolling around?"

With her pink eyes slightly curved, Tie Bai sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his long and strong hand and patted her pert buttocks affectionately, teasing her.

"Are you not planning to get up?"

Feeling the warmth on her buttocks, Shengxia twisted in bed, bit her lip, pulled the blanket down, and gave Tiebai a shy, reproachful look.

The wolf king saw her embarrassment clearly, gently picked her up, tidied her hair, and smiled indulgently.

His iron-white eyes widened slightly, and he lowered his head thoughtfully. Then he looked up and chuckled, gently ruffling her hair.

"Okay, let's go out."

I'm so easily embarrassed!

Shengxia nodded slightly, and with a thought, the three beasts appeared at the dining table at the cave entrance.

Faced with a dazzling array of delicious food, Shengxia forgot her earlier embarrassment and stared at the cold lamb's quarters salad on the table with bright, almond-shaped eyes.

"Where did you pick them? Are there any more? Are there many?"

It's so rare to find fresh lamb's quarters after such a long drought.

Blanching lamb's quarters and then making a cold salad is delicious and goes well with rice. If you have a lot, you can store some on hand.

His fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the suggestive marks on her neck. His gaze softened, and he looked at Sheng Xia with a captivating charm.

"There are many on the other side of this mountain."

It was a vast expanse; he had never seen so many before.

Sheng Xia's eyes lit up. The back mountain? Isn't that very close?

"We can collect more and plant them in the space," she said happily as she stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his chin.

"After we finish eating, we'll pick some more, dry them, and eat them during the snowy season."

When Aoki saw Shengxia standing on tiptoe, he shook his head and clicked his tongue, offering a very considerate reminder.

"Fox, Xia kisses you, you have to lower your head, she's short... she'll get tired if she kisses you like this."

Aoki covered his mouth guiltily, his clear eyes darting around. He'd almost blurted out that Natsu was short…

He deserves to die, that mouth of his!

The fox paused for a moment, then nodded to Aoki, silently saying thank you.

Summer: "..." Since you're all being so considerate, I'll just pretend I don't know.

Chengguo's family has learned about many edible plants during the height of summer, and there's a cold salad of lamb's quarters on the table right now.

Cheng Guo pointed with her index finger, and with a flick of her chopsticks, the gray amaranth went into her mouth.

She chewed it, her eyes widening in surprise, then turned to look at Sheng Xia and called out loudly.

"It's so delicious! Xiaxia, can we eat plants?"

If all plants tasted this good, she couldn't imagine how happy this beast world would be.

Meeting her bright, clear eyes, Sheng Xia chuckled, shook her head slightly, and called out loudly.

"No, there are also many things that cannot be eaten."

However, she didn't mention that some things that shouldn't be eaten were made into traditional Chinese medicine and consumed.

In Chinese folklore, plants only come in a few forms: those that are inedible are called building materials, those that are delicious are food ingredients, and those that are not delicious are medicinal herbs...

She couldn't care less about the medicinal herbs of midsummer; at this moment, she was overjoyed, with large patches of broom grass growing in the sunny spot in front of her.

It's so tender and looks so fresh and delicious.

She was deeply moved by the sight of the nearly two-kilometer-long expanse of broom grass, a vibrant green that would lift any animal's spirits.

I came to pick lamb's quarters, but I never expected to have such a pleasant surprise.

When I was a child, broomcorn shoots were everywhere along the banks of ditches and riverbanks, but now they are rarely seen. In the height of summer, I only remember that they were delicious when steamed.

"Broom grass! Come and see!"

Broom broom seedlings are a treasure from head to toe

Sheng Xia walked over excitedly, reached out and pinched a handful. It broke easily, extremely tender. She nodded in satisfaction.

"Look, like this, pinch off the tender tips, wash them clean, add some oil and mix them, then add flour, put them in a pot to steam, and after steaming, stir-fry them in oil."

Pair it with some of that signature garlic sauce, and it's absolutely amazing!

"Xia, wait for me, I'll go pick the best one right away!"

It sounds delicious. Aoki smiled brightly and moved to another spot to start picking out the best pieces.

His deep, magnetic voice, tinged with a pleasant lilt, made my ears itch in the sweltering summer heat.

She blinked her bright eyes, and with a thought, took out several large baskets from her spatial storage, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"Let's bring our baskets and pick more, this is especially delicious!"

"good."

The two "special" signs were enough to prove how much Xia loved this food. Yang Yun's peach blossom eyes sparkled as she reached out and grabbed a basket.

Wolf King was picking asparagus with his three cubs, while Iron White, Fox Snow, and the male from Orange Fruit's family went hunting.

Everyone got to work in an orderly fashion.

Shengxia glanced at the oranges being happily pinched and said with a light laugh, "Guoguo, have your male make a big steamer. This is the best way to steam them."

She would call it the best steamed dish.

Kochia scoparia, also known as broom shoots, has the effect of clearing heat and promoting diuresis. When it is young, it can be eaten, and when it is old, it can be used to make brooms. The seeds can be used as medicine.

Every part of it is valuable!

Looking at the baskets full of broom seedlings, Sheng Xia couldn't stop smiling. Her almond-shaped eyes curved into beautiful arcs as she turned her head and chuckled softly.

"Guoguo~ Tell your partner to pick more, blanch them later and let Wolf King dry them together, so we can eat them during the snow season."

"Okay, okay, Xiaxia, you're so nice!"

A glint of light flashed in her clear eyes, and Chengguo grinned, revealing her clean, white teeth.

She didn't stand on ceremony with Sheng Xia and turned to instruct Kong Ming.

"Kongming, go and tell them not to worry about not being able to finish it. Pick more of the edible lamb's quarters and broom shoots, and give half to Xiaxia."

Xiaxia felt sorry for her and was good to her, so she couldn't let Xiaxia's male work for nothing. It was just a little bit of vegetables; her family had many animals.
