She smiled brightly and specially picked up a piece of ham and some rock tripe.
"Try it, it'll taste even better if we eat it together!"
Her face was flushed red from the fire, her clear eyes sparkling as she looked at the Wolf King with anticipation.
The wolf king raised a slight brow, leaned down, and opened his mouth to take it in.
The rock tripe is infused with the aroma of oil and has a slight spiciness from the seasonings, making you want to eat more and more.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's delicious."
Shengxia was very happy. She ran back to the pot, took a bite herself, and then looked at the rice that had been steaming as soon as she came back.
The aroma of rice wafted over with the rising steam, and the pot lid was put on in the middle of summer.
Then he ladled the vegetables out, added water to the pot, and turned to Wolf King: "This water needs to be boiled."
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the water in the pot started bubbling and bubbling, eventually turning into large bubbles.
In the height of summer, put the rock tripe in.
Aoki looked at the pot with a puzzled expression; there was so little water.
"Little one, are you going to make rock tripe hotpot? Is there too little water?"
Shengxia blinked and explained with a light laugh, "No, I'm just making a soup. Rock tripe soup is very delicious; you only need to add salt."
With Wolf King's superpowers, the meal was quickly prepared.
Yang Yun walked towards the living room with the scalding hot soup in his hand. Aoki paused for a moment, then picked up the dish and followed closely behind.
Wolf King held a bowl of rice in one hand and held Summer's hand in the other.
"Let's go, little one."
At the dining table in the living room, Sheng Xia received a lot of praise. She smiled shyly and picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks.
"Let's eat!"
The three males moved very slowly, waiting until they had eaten their fill in the summer before they began to eat heartily.
After finishing the meal, I cleaned up the mess.
In the height of summer, I sat in a rocking chair, leisurely enjoying the breeze, while casually glancing at Yang Yun knitting a sweater.
Wolf King was outside tidying up the dried firewood, while Aoki assisted him.
The sunlight was bright, and the room was well-lit, making Yang Yun's shyness clearly visible.
He noticed his partner's gaze lingering on him and blushed involuntarily.
Having tasted success, she went out hunting for several days in a row during the height of summer. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and allowed her to go out for a stroll.
That morning, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was wide open.
After finishing the fruit in the height of summer, Sheng Xia took the warm towel that Yang Yun handed her and wiped her hands.
"Let's go out and hunt in the jungle!"
My partner spoke up, saying the weather's been nice lately, and they didn't disagree.
Yang Yun packed up the snacks, Wolf King brought the water, and Sheng Xia sat on the back of the majestic golden lion as they set off to hunt in the wild.
Deep in the dense forest, everything is golden.
A gentle breeze blows, leaves flutter down, and withered leaves cover the ground, instantly creating a sense of desolation.
In the height of summer, she bent down and hugged the lion's neck tightly, her gaze sweeping over every inch of the lion's body, leaving no spot unchecked.
"Hey, Yang Yun, why are you touching that sticky stuff?" Aoki suddenly shouted, his pupils dilating and his ears perking up.
He hated that stuff when he was a kid; it was sticky and disgusting.
Yang Yun's cool voice carried a hint of doubt.
"What's wrong? I'll pick a few to use for gluing."
Shengxia looked curiously at the thing in Yangyun's hand. What was that sticky thing that made Qingmu react so strongly?
Yang Yun's fair, slender fingers held an amber-colored stone with a slightly blackened surface, which looked rather unclean.
It's the size of a palm; she doesn't think she's ever seen one before.
What is this?
The wolf king stepped forward, lifted her off the lion's back, and smiled gently.
"The sticky bumps that grow on the trees are soft in the hot season, but they get hard after being exposed to the sun for a long time."
Shengxia listened to his strange description and walked over out of curiosity.
Seeing her interest, Yang Yun handed her the things in her hand: "Little one, do you want to play? There are many more on this tree, I'll go pick them."
Following the direction Yang Yun pointed, Sheng Xia looked up.
The towering tree, which five or six orcs could barely encircle, stretched into the clouds and seemed to have no end.
The tree was very large, with many branches, and one side of the branch was covered with dense... peach gum?
"Peach gum!"
It might not be peach gum. She wasn't even sure if it was a peach tree. The leaves were all yellow, and in the height of summer, you couldn't tell the tree species by the naked eye.
"Is this a fruit tree? Will it bear crisp, sweet fruit during the hot season?"
The wolf king and his men didn't think much of it. It was normal for the females not to recognize the fruit trees; this place was a bit far from the tribe, and the females had never been here before.
Yang Yun explained softly, "It's a crisp peach tree, which bears fruit in the hot season..."
Looking at his partner's dazed expression, Aoki found it incredibly cute. He couldn't resist lowering his head and quickly kissing her lips, sucking on them briefly before immediately letting go.
Shengxia gave him a reproachful look.
"Aoki, stop fooling around~"
"This is peach gum, it's delicious!" Sheng Xia stared at the tree full of peach gum with shining eyes.
Each one is about the size of a fist; some are crystal clear and beautiful like amber, while others are covered with black residue.
It looks hard, so it doesn't need to be sun-dried!
With a thought, several large animal hide bags appeared at his feet.
Aoki grabbed a bag first and excitedly said, "Pick them all off this tree!"
No one questioned Sheng Xia's words. She said that if she could eat it, she definitely could eat it. Even if she couldn't eat it, it didn't matter. As long as she was happy.
Yang Yun and Lang Jun each took a bag.
In the sweltering summer, my hands are itching to pick some.
The peach gum was quite tall; she jumped twice but couldn't touch it.
Aoki chuckled, put the bag down, and picked up Shengxia, hoisting her onto his shoulders.
“Little one, play now.”
Sheng Xia smiled and touched his face: "Thank you, Qingmu."
She held his head in one arm and reached out with the other to pick peach gum in front of her.
She tried to pull it but couldn't budge it; the peach gum remained firmly in place. So she put her other hand on it, grabbed the peach gum, and tried to pull it out.
It remained motionless.
midsummer:……
Yang Yun saw this, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly, a hint of a smile overflowing from her slender peach blossom eyes.
With a deft snap of his two fingers, he plucked the translucent peach gum: "Here you go."
Her interest in picking ended there.
Shengxia took the peach gum and patted Qingmu on the head.
"Put me down."
As soon as Aoki put her down, Wolf King laid out the animal hide, carefully sprinkled insect repellent around it, picked her up and placed her on the hide, his voice gentle.
"The little one is watching and playing from the side."
Yang Yun smiled, opened the bag of snacks, placed it in front of her, arranged it neatly, and then began picking peach gum.
Sheng Xia picked up the spicy ham in front of her and started eating.
No animals spoke; the silent forest gave the midsummer a sense of aimless loneliness, quiet and long.
They worked quickly, and in less than half an hour, they had completely stripped the tree bare.
I picked three large bags of peach gum, each bag as big as an orc.
"Alright, let's go back!" Aoki transformed into his beast form and excitedly tossed the three bags of peach gum onto his back.
There's so much more food now, little one is amazing!
"Okay, let's go back." Sheng Xia smiled broadly, looking at the three large bags of peach gum, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were bright and sparkling.
The wolf king transformed into beast form and gently placed Shengxia on its back, while Yangyun swept its tail.
Returning home laden with their spoils, all the beasts were delighted and walked back with light steps.
