Ji Nuan clenched her hands nervously and lit the crude stove. As the flame burned, the green mud was slowly dried, and the green mud mixed with sticky grass emitted a deep blue color.

"There's smoke coming out of Ji Nuan's house. Is it on fire?"

The beastmen’s cries of surprise could be heard outside, but Ji Nuan was still adding firewood carefully.

"Ji Nuanzi? Are you in there?" The witch doctor's voice was a little anxious.

Chief Ge Xing led the beastmen into the house, only to see Ji Nuan squatting in front of a table, burning a fire like a little cat.

He walked over with some confusion: "Ji Nuan, why is there smoke coming out of your house? Is it on fire?"

After adding a few more pieces of firewood, Ji Nuan walked out with Chief Ge Xing: "This is not a fire, it's related to the thing I mentioned about keeping warm in the cold season."

"You've already done it?" Ge Xing's eyes sparkled.

Ji Nuan nodded: "I was just testing it, and I don't know if it was successful yet."

"Nuannuan!" An urgent and cold voice came from outside the yard. Before Ji Nuan could react, she was locked in an embrace filled with blood.

Ji Nuan blinked innocently. What was going on?

After checking the little female cub in his arms from head to toe and making sure it had no injuries, Xiu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. His sword-like brows knitted slightly. "I heard from the beastmen that the house was on fire. Are you okay?"

Ji Nuan, who was shocked by his actions, finally came back to her senses, her face slightly red: "It's okay, it's not a fire, it's the stove that was lit, and the smoke came out of the chimney."

Then he selectively ignored the teasing looks from Ge Xing and the other beasts, took Xiu Yan's hand and walked in: "Madam witch doctor, you guys come in and take a look too!"

The fire in the stove was burning fiercely. Ji Nuan led everyone to the bedroom inside and placed her hands on the kang with trembling hands.

The warm feeling almost made Ji Nuan's eyes red. She pulled Xiu Yan's hand and placed it on the kang.

Ji Nuan swore that this was the first time she saw the stern silver wolf beastman's expression collapse.

The wolf eyes, which were always deep and round, were exactly the same as when he turned into a fat cub. The sparkling light was like stars in the night sky, so beautiful.

The beastmen were all impatient people. Seeing the two men's shocked expressions, they were extremely anxious.

They all rushed to the kang, imitating Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan's actions and carefully placed their palms on it. The hot touch made the beastmen all dumbfounded.

Uncle Ge Xing's eyes widened: "This, this is hot!!!"

Ji Nuan nodded with a smile: "Yes, I will light a fire on the stove outside, and the kang inside will be warm. In the cold season, we will lie on the kang, and we don't have to worry about the females, cubs and old beastmen getting frostbite."

Ji Nuan thought that the people in the society would be very happy about this kind of news, but unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the air was very silent.

Gradually, the sound of a female sobbing could be heard in the house. The beastmen all had red eyes, and Uncle Ge Xing even quietly wiped his tears.

Thinking of the tribesmen who had died from the cold in the past, everyone was filled with sadness.

Seeing Ji Nuan looking somewhat at a loss, the witch doctor mother stepped forward and touched her little head: "Good kid, we are just... just too happy. Thank you... thank you for everything you have done for the tribe."

The beastmen and females wiped away the tears in their eyes and gave Ji Nuan their most sincere smiles and gratitude.
