The color of the dim sky gradually faded, leaving only the scorching temperature in the air.
Bai Xia was wearing a simple black vest and sitting cross-legged by the campfire. He held a white towel in his hand, wiping his wet hair while turning the hunted game over and over.
The pickled venison leg made a sizzling sound in the hot oil, and golden oil droplets flowed down the venison leg meat, slightly falling into the fire below, causing the red flame to surge a few points instantly, and then recover in an instant, swaying back and forth.
The rich and spicy aroma of the roasted venison, accompanied by the rise and fall of the flames, keeps rolling outward, penetrating into the nasal cavity, stimulating the taste buds and making one's mouth water.
"Every time I came here for exams, I felt like the days were passing by like years. During the half month before the final exams last semester, I really didn't dare to eat even a little cooked meat, for fear that some smell would attract strange beasts. Every day, I was like a rabbit, either gnawing on wild fruits or eating raw vegetables. I almost went home with green eyes! It was so miserable for me. Especially this damn place called K-0218, where there are 32 hours in a day, which is even more unbearable than on ordinary planets!" Bai Xia complained while smiling as he turned the barbecue over and brushed a layer of special barbecue seasoning on it.
The roasted venison, which already had a strong aroma, exploded instantly with the special seasoning that Bai Xia brushed on it, as if an activation button had been pressed. The person who was hit in the face was covered in it, and could hardly open his eyes. He just wanted to drool and wolf down the whole roasted leg of lamb into his stomach.
This fragrance is absolutely amazing!
"Hehehe, but now, just smelling this, I'm hoping this exam will last longer and longer! These undeveloped, primitive planets are completely pollution-free. Even ordinary wild deer can be cooked to a fantastic taste. This is so much better than the beef and mutton we used to order from livestock planets!"
Smelling this wonderful aroma, Bai Xia's expression became more and more happy and intoxicated. He stared at the barbecue in front of him without blinking, trying hard to suppress the swallowing.
However, when Pan Mu saw this expression with shining eyes, he twitched his eyes and turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it. However, Pan Mu's breathing frequency was obviously a little faster than before. The aroma of the barbecue was really too good. As a canine orc, Pan Mu's pursuit of meat was even far higher than that of a rodent orc like Bai Xia.
Pan Mu swallowed calmly and sternly admonished, "Bai Xia, as a soldier, you should learn to endure hardships. Isn't it normal to eat wild fruits and vegetables in the wild? What's there to complain about? Besides, I remember I cooked food twice during my last combat assessment."
"Just adding a little salt to the boiled meat, does that count as eating it?!" Bai Xia opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
"Well, why doesn't it count? Aren't they all cooked?"
Pan Mu coughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject, "No matter what, we have to thank Mr. Ye this time. If it weren't for Mr. Ye, I'm afraid we would have died here today."
"Of course! That's why I specially made a delicious meal to repay my lifesaver... Hmm? But Old Pan, why didn't I see Classmate Ye?" Bai Xia turned the barbecue over again, sniffing the fragrant aroma, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I remember Classmate Ye was still refining a potion over there just now..."
Not far away, the place where Ye Wenya used to refine the potion was no longer occupied.
Pan Mu rolled his eyes. "By the time you know it, the barbecue is already cold... Miss Ye took her cat to get a bath. There's no telling how many germs and parasites this wild animal might harbor. It should be properly washed, lest it bring them back to the capital and be detained by port inspectors."
The Orc Empire has a vast territory, with hundreds of life-bearing planets. Each planet has a different living environment, so anything that is found to be potentially harmful to local species will be detained at the port, and wild animals and plants are the most strictly controlled of these.
"Yes, that's right. We need to give the black cat a good wash. I saw blood scabs on its body. It must not have had a bath for a long time... And it's not a very clean cat. It can't even lick its fur. It's such a failure as a cat!" Bai Xia's face was full of sighs, and he looked at her with an expression of why this cat is so lazy, which looked particularly funny.
…
At this time on the other side.
Ye Wenya was holding the cat in one hand and a torch in the other, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She was going to find a slightly secluded place to take a bath with the black cat.
When someone grabbed his two front paws and held him in his arms, the black cat instinctively wanted to struggle and resist. How could a grown man like him take a bath with a girl?
But when Ye Wenya saw the black cat's actions, she immediately hugged the cat tighter and locked it tightly.
You know, cats hate taking a bath the most. Even her magical pet, the black panther, avoids taking a bath as much as possible. It will only reluctantly take a bath unless she drags it down by the tail and does it herself. With her experience in dealing with black panthers, Ye Wenya will not let go at this time.
"Xiao Hei, I tell you not to move. Even if you want to run away, I won't give you the chance... You must wash yourself clean today before you can sleep in the tent with me. Otherwise, I will never let you into the tent. Who knows if you have fleas or other parasites on your body." Ye Wenya said earnestly as she walked.
However, the struggling black cat suddenly felt two soft and plump breasts pressed against its back. The black cat was so frightened that its whole body tensed up, its eyes were filled with horror, and it meowed miserably.
“Meow!——”
The black cat's voice was frightened and panicked, and its round eyes were full of fear. Coupled with its trembling appearance, it looked so pitiful!
"Puchi——" Seeing this, Ye Wenya couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her cat is indeed a gentlemanly and reserved little cutie!
Xiao Chen was trembling in his heart at this moment, and his whiskers were shaking instinctively. His limbs were stiff, his tail was straight, and the tips of his ears and cheeks were almost burning with blood.
Who, who wants to be in the same tent with you?
No, that's not right... He doesn't have fleas.
The girl's delicate fragrance, accompanied by a gentle breeze, brushed against Xiao Chen's nose. Xiao Chen felt a crisp sound in his mind, as if something was breaking...
