Seeing his pleading gaze, Aoki blinked his clear, innocent eyes and couldn't help but reach out and take it.

"Okay, thank you."

He heard that this orc's abilities improved very quickly, always charging to the front in every hunt, and that he had broken through so rapidly through reckless fighting.

As a fellow male, he understood the look in his eyes and suddenly realized why this male was working so hard, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

Xiaxia is afraid of scorpions, so all he can do is offer her some grilled meat. Otherwise, it would be great if Xiaxia accepted him.

I heard it's some kind of lightning power, and it's very destructive.

Xingmu's eyes flickered. He knew that among Shengxia's family, Qingmu was the easiest to talk to.

"I should be thanking you."

The golden-brown roasted meat was steaming hot, with a wonderful aroma. Aoki smiled brightly and offered it to Shengxia, saying solicitously.

"Xiaxia, want to try some? It smells delicious."

Looking at the barbecue, Shengxia's stomach growled at an inopportune moment. Her cheeks flushed slightly, thankful that it was nighttime and she couldn't see it as clearly.

Little did she know, several males present saw her shy side, and their eyes darkened simultaneously, including Xing Mu's.

Shengxia didn't refuse again and opened her mouth to eat it.

One bite and the crispy outer layer breaks open, revealing the tender meat inside, and the juices burst forth, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked up at Xingmu.

This boy named Xingmu looks so young. His blue eyes look very pure, and his tall stature and broad shoulders give off a sense of security.

Standing there, the whole animal looked so cute and cuddly.

"Thank you for the barbecue, it was delicious!"

His cooking skills aren't as good as a lamb's, but compared to other males, it's quite delicious. No wonder his friend begged him to cook for him after hunting.

It's so delicious!

The little female's almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and when she praised someone, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she squinted her eyes with a satisfied look, which made Xingmu's heart flutter wildly.

He was flattered: "No...you're welcome!"

Seeing Sheng Xia's excited expression, Yang Yun felt a great sense of crisis. He pretended to turn his head casually and glanced at Xing Mu's barbecue grill.

It looks to be of moderate thickness, the stone is polished very smoothly, and it was cleaned up very well after grilling the meat. It's obvious that the person cooks often and is very clean.

Most importantly, Xiaxia praised his cooking!

I really want to try it. How does it taste compared to the food I make myself? Being able to cook has always been his proudest achievement.

Suddenly encountering someone who cooks just as well, and even receiving praise from Xiaxia, his confidence vanished instantly, replaced by a strong sense of crisis.

Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Xingmu smiled in a friendly manner.

"Shall I bake one for you to try? I've heard you're a great cook, could you please taste it and give me some feedback?"

He needs to maintain a good relationship with Shengxia's partner.

In the future, I might find myself able to look at her more often because of this.

He shouldn't have agreed, but for some inexplicable reason, Yang Yun nodded: "Okay."

After nodding, she instantly realized what was happening and turned sharply to look at Sheng Xia, afraid that she might mind.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sheng Xia tilted her head and chuckled.

A gust of wind blew in her face, and her messy hair blocked her eyes. Tie Bai lowered his head and tucked her hair behind her ear.

In the height of summer, almond-shaped eyes lit up as she tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on his cheek: "Ah Bai is so sweet~"

After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Yun.

He was slender and stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his black, smooth hair slightly disheveled by the wind.

A few mischievous ones stuck up, but surprisingly they were quite well-behaved.

Shengxia smiled wryly: "Little sheep~"

"Mm." Yang Yun lowered his head, his clear black eyes fixed on her.

Xiaxia has such great skin, a beautiful milky white, and even her nails are pink. She's so cute.

He loves it so much, he can't get enough of looking at it.

If the orc has an afterlife, he hopes that every new beginning can be with Xiaxia!

"You are wonderful, I like you very much. You are beautiful and your cooking is the best. In this beast world, no one can cook better than you. All the beasts' cooking skills combined cannot compare to yours."

Knowing that he was prone to low self-esteem and insecurity, Sheng Xia did her best to praise him without reservation.

Go as exaggerated as possible.

It's not really an exaggeration...

It's so delicious, unmatched by any animal.

Hearing her straightforward praise, which sounded like a confession, Yang Yun felt a lump in her throat and couldn't stop her heart from pounding.

Xiaxia figured it out!

Xiaxia not only noticed it, but she also comforted herself!

She loves herself so much, she shouldn't overthink things.

Yang Yun was deeply moved, feeling a tingling, itchy sensation in her heart, as if being gnawed by thousands of ants, and a touch of bitterness.

"Xiaxia, you're so good to me." He lowered his head, his fair and handsome face pressed against her forehead.

The beautiful peach blossoms sparkled, and up close, his peach blossom eyes were incredibly beautiful. In the height of summer, she tilted her head back and put her arm around his shoulder.

You deserve it.

Yang Yun felt dizzy. Staring at her red lips, he slowly leaned in and gently pressed them against hers.

Their lips touched briefly before parting.

The campfire crackled and popped as Xingmu deftly prepared the roasted meat and presented it to Yangyun, looking at him expectantly.

"Alright, want to try it?"

Looking at the barbecue, Yang Yun happily accepted it. With Sheng Xia's affirmation, he felt very secure and no longer wanted to eat it.

But seeing the expectation in his eyes, he took it, chewed it, and gave some sound advice.

"It has a slightly burnt flavor, so simmer it over low heat to reduce the sauce... add a little more... and finally coat it with fresh vegetables. This way, it tastes delicious and not greasy."

Xingmu nodded earnestly: "Yes, thank you!"
