The next morning.
The sunlight shone softly, and the humid air became refreshing.
In the height of summer, she was excitedly selecting a basket to carry. There should be many females in the picking team today, as she also wanted to pick mushrooms!
Since they learned how to preserve mushrooms, a large group of orcs would go to pick them after every rain, and the females would also join the picking team.
It was still early, and it wasn't time for the picking team to gather yet.
After washing up in the sweltering summer heat, I used my mind to draw water from the spiritual spring and splashed it on my face, giving myself a wonderful hydrating spa treatment.
The Spirit Spring Water is unbeatable!
Touching her increasingly smooth skin, she was in a great mood. Turning to look at Yang Yun, who was cooking next to her, she winked mischievously and asked, "How's my skin today?"
Yang Yun went from being surprised at first to taking it for granted now. Her partner said that doing skincare products can make her skin better.
He thought Shengxia's skin had always been great, and he couldn't see where it was any better. However, he was a good man and wouldn't say anything that would spoil the mood.
"Hmm, the skin is very smooth."
In a great mood, Sheng Xia leaned over and gave Yang Yun a quick kiss on the cheek: "I'll give you a kiss, remember to return the favor~"
Yang Yun paused for a moment, her clear eyes fixed on Sheng Xia, seemingly not understanding what she was saying.
Shengxia realized what was happening and said coquettishly, "Why don't you kiss me quickly? If I kiss you, you have to return the favor~"
A vast chasm! Remember, never use idioms again!
Yang Yun smiled lightly, her glassy brown eyes suddenly brightening. She leaned down and kissed Sheng Xia, her lips tingling with sweetness, as if she had eaten jam.
After breakfast, Yang Yun took Sheng Xia to the square to meet the gathering team.
Chengguo saw Shengxia from afar and waved excitedly at her: "Shengxia, over here! Over here!"
She ate a big bowl of jam this morning, bubbling with happiness. She loves summer so much; how can someone make something so delicious and keep it for so long!
However, she hadn't picked enough fruit; they were almost all gone, so she planned to exchange some with Shengxia.
As summer approached, Chengguo couldn't wait to ask, "Can you finish your jam? Can you give me some more? I'm almost out."
midsummer:……
If I remember correctly, this woman's partner made a whole vat of jam, and they've already eaten it all? That's a week's worth for one female!
"You've finished eating? We can switch, but you can't eat too much of that, or your teeth will rot," Sheng Xia said with a smile.
Looking at Cheng Guo's big white teeth, it suddenly dawned on me that even if beasts don't brush their teeth, they don't seem to have bad teeth?
An earth-shattering joy!
"Great! I'll have Xiong Qi deliver the honey later." Cheng Guo was very happy and turned to give Xiong Qi instructions.
She automatically ignored whether her teeth were bad or not.
Luckily, her son Xiong Qi got a piece of honey, which she could exchange with Sheng Xia.
In the Beast World, barter is the norm. You need to exchange something of equal value for what you want—animal hides, herbs, fruits, dried meat, and anything else.
"Okay, you can give it to Yang Yun later."
Shengxia had no intention of being a saint. She taught people how to preserve food, but it wasn't her invention. She was happy to improve everyone's living standards just by talking.
Food is precious in the Beast World. She and Orange Fruit are close, so she can give it to them for free a few times, but it wouldn't be appropriate to do it any more than that.
The picking team set off not long after.
A thin morning mist drifted through the dense forest, and glistening dewdrops slid down the leaves. There was no urban hustle and bustle, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Enjoying the rare tranquility of midsummer, she was still captivated by the lush and mysterious forest of the beast world, even after seeing it so many times.
Suddenly, a long, slender hand reached out from in front of me. The knuckles were distinct and strong, and the berries in the hand were plump and full, clearly carefully selected.
"This fruit is very sweet, here you go."
Looking up in the sweltering summer heat, she saw Aoki, the team leader and her bodyguard for the day.
"You eat, I ate this morning, I'm not hungry." Sheng Xia quickly refused; she didn't want to take in another male.
Aoki was very perceptive. Sensing Shengxia's resistance, he immediately retreated to a safe distance, his eyes darkening.
We need to work harder!
Near the tree roots, many fungi sprouted from under the damp fallen leaves.
It tastes delicious, and all the females who have tried it love it.
They gathered in twos and threes, playing and picking mushrooms. Because the mushrooms were big, they filled their baskets with little bending over.
The warriors responsible for protecting the females, seeing that the females were no longer interested in picking mushrooms, used whatever materials they could find to weave an extra-large basket and picked all the mushrooms they could see.
Not a single grain of food should be wasted!
Aoki was too perceptive. Shengxia didn't dare to sneak into the space under his nose. She filled a basket and sat down to the side, eating melon.
"My new partner's beep code is ~, and it feels pretty good~"
"I also have a partner who is like that, and they hit that spot right away!"
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look at my next partner, the kind I don't have yet." Yan'er's tone was slightly regretful.
She and Cao'er had already found suitable partners and were very happy in the Yafatu tribe.
The single warriors who had been listening intently, in perfect unison, lifted their animal-skin skirts, and after confirming their suspicions, some of the males instantly straightened their backs.
Aoki was no exception. He looked at his own and smiled slightly. "Shengxia will like it, right?"
midsummer:……
She often seemed out of place because she wasn't eccentric enough.
Pleasant times always pass quickly; when the sun was high in the sky, everyone gathered and returned to the tribe.
Shengxia didn't go to the square today; she went straight home.
Whether or not the females hand over their harvest is up to them; throughout the entire orc continent, the rules are designed to restrict the males.
Life in the Beast World moves at a slow pace. After finishing her meal, Shengxia had nothing to do, so she lay listlessly on her bed.
She sighed inwardly, finding herself completely bored with the same food, and began to think about making some snacks.
The female, wearing a fur-lined dress and propping her face up with her hands, lay languidly on the bed, with a soft, white fur mattress beneath her.
Yang Yun entered the room and saw this scene. His heart skipped a beat, and all the hard work and fighting in the jungle seemed to have meaning.
His animal form is that of a sheep, but he has no sharp claws, making it much more difficult for him to kill prey than beasts with claws.
Sheng Xia turned around and saw Yang Yun standing at the door, looking refreshed. Her eyes lit up: "Yang Yun, you're back?"
With the invention of the method of smoking cured meat, everyone has been hunting frantically lately. The males don't even rest during breaks in the hunting party, hunting desperately to smoke the meat.
The wolf king has been away on the hunt for six days. Happy days always pass quickly, and the hunting party should be back soon.
Yang Yun pursed her lips. Wolf King was about to go home, and he could no longer monopolize the height of summer.
"Alright, why the long face?" Sheng Xia said cheerfully, her eyes crinkling.
Yang Yun was stunned for a moment. He even raised his arm to smell it, and after confirming that there was no smell, he solemnly replied, "I don't smell bad!"
Sheng Xia suppressed her laughter, her face contorted, but she finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you, you're killing me with laughter."
Yang Yun's heart tightened, and she frowned as she held Sheng Xia's hand, asking, "How could you laugh yourself to death?"
