"Put the stir-fried, no, the cooked snails in a bowl, add some wine to marinate them, slice the scallions and ginger into strips, mince the garlic, add chili peppers..." Sheng Xia's eyes sparkled.
With them around, Sheng Xia didn't even have the chance to feel the bone with a scalpel; she only needed to talk to them.
Yang Yun was in charge of cooking, with Wolf King assisting.
With a sizzling sound, a unique fragrance wafted over, and Sheng Xia squinted, inhaling the scent in the air with a look of pure enjoyment.
Soon, a large pot of stir-fried mountain snails was ready.
Everyone was full of anticipation. The aroma was so enticing that it could kill any beast. Each beast had a full bowl in front of them, and there was still plenty left in the pot!
"Alright, let's eat!" Sheng Xia said without looking up from the delicious food in front of her, her eyes shining.
She picked one up and eagerly put it in her mouth. Just as she was about to suck, a crunching sound rang out in the quiet room.
Sheng Xia looked up in confusion and saw Yang Yun putting the whole snail into his mouth and chewing it with a crunching sound. She was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing?"
With such a hard shell, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?
Yang Yun's clear eyes were filled with worry: "It's so hard, can you eat it?"
It tastes good, but it's a bit hard and scratches your throat.
Shengxia burst out laughing, her stomach hurting: "Hahaha, you idiot, I have bad teeth, I don't eat the shells."
Yang Yun: ...I'm neither stupid nor an egg!
Looking at Shengxia laughing and falling into Wolf King's arms, Yang Yun felt like his brain couldn't work. He knew each word individually, so why couldn't he understand it when they were put together?
What is she saying?
Shengxia watched him swallow the shell clean and said with a smile, "See, that's how I always eat it. Just suck it in hard and the meat will be in your mouth."
Yang Yun: It seems like I was scolded, but it also seems like I wasn't.
He imitated the female's manner, took a sip, and the smooth flesh was in his mouth. Looking at Sheng Xia, his eyes widened instantly.
Summer tilted her head and winked mischievously: "Is it delicious?"
Hahaha, I guess I kicked a nut!
Yang Yun smacked his lips and nodded.
It was more delicious than any food he had ever eaten!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's eat!" Shengxia took the lead, slurping the snails with great relish.
The wolf king then took a slurp, its eyes widening instantly, and began eating faster and faster.
Delicious! Delicious beyond words!
Crisp and tender, spicy yet refreshing, it's a pity there's no beer. On a sweltering summer day, a jar of wine appeared on the table.
Yang Yun deftly took out three bamboo cups, poured the wine, and sat down.
Take a bite of the spicy and savory snail, then a sip of wine—that taste is something even the God of Beasts wouldn't trade!
After the sun sets, the temperature drops sharply.
Under a bright moon and sparse stars, inside a thatched hut, two beasts stared at the only wooden bed, their eyes wide open.
Unaware of their subtle rivalry, Sheng Xia rubbed her icy arms as a cold wind blew by.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her body and turned around to see the wolf king draping a soft animal skin over her shoulders.
"You sleep on the bed tonight, we can sleep on the floor. I'll watch over Yang Yun, so you can sleep peacefully," Wolf King said gently, stroking her hair.
It seems we need to build the house as soon as possible.
"Wouldn't it be too cold to sleep on the floor?" Sheng Xia hesitated.
“It’s not cold when you’re in beast form,” Yang Yun said softly.
midsummer:………
Hearing a single sentence is like hearing a whole conversation.
You idiot, in this cramped room, you can barely stand up even in your beast form, right?
Wolf King chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his bright eyes.
Summer is so hot and humid!
In the end, Wolf King slept in the bed with Shengxia, while Sheep Cloud slept in the space.
I slept without any dreams.
The next morning.
Even though the sun is not visible, the space is bright and warm, like springtime.
Yang Yun opened her eyes groggily, frowned, and scratched her back repeatedly.
He was woken up by an itch.
After a long while, the bulge on his back suddenly moved, and he instantly woke up!
Is it about to mutate?
His clear eyes were filled with disbelief. Had it mutated so quickly? He could no longer stay by Sheng Xia's side.
The crisp, melodious chirping of birds woke Shengxia from her slumber. She stretched and got up feeling refreshed.
A world without dwarf birds is a wonderful one!
We have to celebrate!
In the height of summer, she decided that today's task was to pick soybeans and make tofu, and she wanted to eat tofu pudding! Salty, no less!
Let's make a small batch to try. It doesn't need to be too many soybeans; she can manage on her own.
Hearing faint sounds outside the thatched hut, like someone cooking, Shengxia hurried out and saw Wolf King in the yard.
He said with a smile, "Wolf King, let's eat something different today! Don't cook."
"Remember the soybeans we planted before? They're ready to eat now." Sheng Xia was beaming, her eyes and brows full of smiles.
Wolf King smiled slightly and handed Sheng Xia his long, beautiful hand: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to take me into the space, and we'll pick beans together."
Those glassy brown eyes seemed to hold stars.
A sudden flutter in her heart during the height of summer; in that moment, she seemed to see his vibrant and lively youth, and his free and unrestrained soul.
"Okay." She agreed without really thinking and took him into the space.
She realized her mistake and felt a pang of regret. She had picked those few beans with just a few mental strokes, and letting him in would have wasted so much of his time.
Whether or not we'll get tofu pudding for breakfast is still uncertain!
Beauty is alluring!
Yang Yun was in low spirits, his feet idly stepping on something; he hadn't yet figured out how to say goodbye to Sheng Xia.
Why don't we wait until she finds another partner before she leaves?
No, no, his back is getting itchier and itchier. I don't know how long he can hold out. I have to leave as soon as possible.
Just as she was struggling with this decision, Shengxia and Wolf King suddenly appeared.
"Yang Yun! What are you doing? Don't move, whatever you do, don't move!" As soon as Sheng Xia arrived, she saw the rose seedling that Yang Yun was stepping on.
Heaven knows why there are roses in the beast world!
When Shengxia saw it, she was extremely surprised and carefully planted the palm-sized rose seedling, roots and all, into the space.
She planted it specially next to the Spirit Spring Pool, giving it unique favor, but now Yang Yun is treating it like a weed and trampling it under his feet!
Yang Yun dared not move, her eyes lowered and she remained silent, her thick, long eyelashes clearly visible.
midsummer:……
Good heavens, a honey trap!
"It's alright, don't step on that little seedling, it's very important to me." Sheng Xia lowered her voice and comforted her with a gentle laugh.
Yang Yun quickly moved away, glanced at Sheng Xia with a blank look in her eyes, revealing her inner unease and vulnerability.
In the height of summer, a knot of emotions tugged at my heartstrings.
She quickly stepped forward and gave Yang Yun a hug: "Okay, I wasn't mean to you. I like you the most. I'm going to make tofu. Can you help me pick the soybeans?"
"Okay." The gloom in her heart inexplicably disappeared, and Yang Yun revealed a stunning smile.
Shengxia turned around and looked at Wolf King, who had gone to pick soybeans as soon as he entered the space. She pulled Yangyun over and joined the team.
If Yang Yun and Lang Jun knew a word, they would definitely say, "Picking beans is so damn stress-relieving."
The family of three was having a great time picking beans.
Suddenly, Yang Yun felt an itch on his back. He reached out to touch it and could clearly feel something about to burst through his skin!
