Fox Snow easily pulled the big guy to the side of the raft, lifted him up, and placed him on the raft.

The fish was too big, and the raft rocked violently, but Yang Yun quickly steadied it.

Shengxia smiled happily and walked over step by step, curiously squatting down next to the big fish.

"Such a white fish, is it edible?"

It was pure white, with beautiful, translucent butterfly fins that fluttered incessantly.

"You can eat it!" Fox Snow grinned and leaned over, planting a kiss on Sheng Xia's rosy lips.

He picked those out on purpose; they were tender and looked good.

I ate a whole fish for breakfast.

After finishing our meal, we continued our journey.

In the height of summer, she was held in Jiao Su's arms, sitting in the strong crook of his arms.

Having just finished eating, everyone was a bit down, so they had time to appreciate the surrounding scenery. In the height of summer, her bright almond-shaped eyes curiously looked around.

Suddenly, a bright yellow hue caught her eye amidst the emerald green, and Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.

Looking at the huge plant, which resembled a yellow bell pepper, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she patted Jiao Su's arm.

"Susu, go take a look over there."

If it's true, then it's a yellow bell pepper the size of a palm!

It's much bigger than modern ones!

Jiao Su raised her hand and placed it on Sheng Xia's soft black hair, gently stroking it. Her cool and aloof voice carried a hint of indulgence.

"Okay, I'll go take a look now."

After saying that, she tightened her grip on Shengxia's hand, transformed her fishtail into legs, and took long strides across the ground the instant she landed.

Seeing Shengxia's reaction, Yangyun and Huxue knew that their partner had made a new discovery, so they went over and put out the insect repellent first.

In a good mood, she looked at the plant in front of her, which was taller than her, covered with bright yellow, smooth-skinned fruits that looked like lanterns.

She tiptoed, leaned forward, and sniffed a chili pepper. The unique aroma wafted over, and Shengxia's lips curved into a wide smile.

It's definitely a yellow bell pepper!

I checked with my special abilities, and it's not poisonous!

During my university years, I had a roommate from Hainan. Her mother made yellow lantern chili sauce and brought some to everyone.

I've been eating it for a long time, it's so delicious!

She even consulted her roommate's mother about how to make it and tried it herself several times.

Thinking of this, she involuntarily swallowed.

"Can I eat this?" Yang Yun looked at Sheng Xia in surprise, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with delight.

Shengxia snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly, "Delicious!"

Yellow lantern peppers are so spicy they'll make you question your existence, but they're really delicious—fragrant and spicy. You can eat them with steamed buns or mix them with noodles; they're amazing.

Seeing her greedy expression, Hu Xue raised an eyebrow in a good mood, picked a chili pepper, and stuffed it into her mouth, intending to test if it was poisonous.

He thought to himself, "Such a beautiful, big fruit shouldn't be too sour, since I don't like sour foods."

Suddenly, a "click" sounded!

Sheng Xia looked up in surprise and saw Hu Xue eating yellow lantern peppers with his bare mouth. She was stunned for a moment until she saw his narrow fox eyes turn red.

Then its nose turned red, and a tear slid down its eyelid, making it look pitiful and endearing.

Subconsciously, Sheng Xia took out a black ball fruit from her spatial storage and handed it to Jiao Su next to her, speaking very quickly.

"Su Su, quick! Open it and feed it to Hu Xue!"

Yellow bell pepper! He took such a big bite.

Jiao Su deftly broke open the black fruit and handed it to the disheveled Hu Xue, watching him struggle to swallow the food, his eyes growing increasingly red.

"At this point, don't worry about wasting food, just spit it out."

Upon hearing this, Shengxia realized what was happening, looked up at Huxue, and said seriously, "This is chili pepper. Eating it like this will hurt your stomach. Spit it out quickly."

Finally, Fox Snow sat pitifully to one side, holding a black fruit and slowly eating it to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth.

It felt like I had swallowed a sharp thorn; my mouth was sore and my throat was burning.

Shengxia glanced at the beasts picking chili peppers, then turned to look at Huxue, and took out a cup of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.

"Fox, are you still feeling unwell? Try drinking some water."

Fox Snow's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she wearily lifted her eyelids, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I don't feel bad anymore, don't worry, sister."

Her feigned strength made Sheng Xia's heart ache. She pouted slightly and gave Hu Xue a coquettish look.

"How can I not worry? Don't do this again."

No matter how precious the food is, it can't compare to the health of an orc.

"Alright, alright." Fox Snow nodded with a gentle smile, her eyes sparkling.

Before Shengxia could speak, Jiaosu's face loomed large in front of her, and the next second, she was enveloped in a cool embrace.

In the height of summer, his teeth hit his mouth, and it hurt a lot.

"Xia, we've picked them all, and even dug up half of them with the roots still attached. Should we plant them now?"

Shengxia looked up in surprise upon hearing this. How long has it been?

She turned her head to look at a huge patch of yellow bell peppers, which had been picked clean, with not a single bright yellow one left.

A patch of overturned land stood out starkly nearby...

Looking at the plants with roots scattered on the ground, Shengxia's lips twitched. She had looked at them countless times, but she still couldn't remain calm.

They work incredibly fast!

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Crab Red with a fawning expression and Mermaid Xi quietly tidying up the lantern peppers, and Sheng Xia was surprised for a moment.

She curled her lips into a friendly smile at Crab Red: "Let's take a day off today and make something delicious~"

Bell peppers don't keep well; there are so many that they've almost piled up into two small mountains. It would be such a waste if they went bad.

Making chili sauce doesn't take long and won't delay things too much.

Crab Red was thrilled to receive Summer's kindness and wanted nothing more than to serve her. Upon hearing her suggestion, she was the first to agree.

"Alright! I'll rest today! Just tell me what you need!"

This is their entire hope for the future!

Along the way, having come to know Shengxia's character and witnessed her powerful dual-elemental abilities, Xie Hong silently kept her in his heart.

They received the same treatment as the Beast God's messenger.

Crab Red is no longer the arrogant and calculating person it once was.

Seeing Xie Hong's eager expression, the mermaid Xi frowned, her expression hard to describe.

Is Father overestimating Doctor Xia?

A gentle breeze carries the warm, salty, and humid scent of the air.

In the height of summer, she looked up with a light smile at the beautiful view where the sea and sky met in the distance, then quickly looked away.

"Little lamb, you feed the animals, the other animals help Yangyun, and we'll make the chili sauce."

After saying that, she glanced at the mountain of chili peppers that stretched as far as the eye could see, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said...

"So much stuff, how long will it take to wash it all?"

I should have brought Tie Bai along...
