The sudden opening of the courtyard gate startled a group of orcs who had come drawn by the fragrance, causing them to open their eyes and take a step back.
"I, I didn't mean to do it in front of your house."
"It smelled so good, I couldn't resist coming here!"
"What are you eating? I... I... could I trade you some animal hides for some?"
“My partner won’t eat when he smells this.”
A group of red-faced men forced themselves to speak.
Wolf King stood silently beside Sheng Xia, looking at her with a faint smile.
In the height of summer, a plan came to mind, and as she looked up, she met the wolf king's affectionate gaze.
She momentarily forgot what she was going to say.
The moment she looked up and met his gaze, her eyes sparkled with joy, as if two hearts had met.
"What's that smell? It smells so good." Xiong Huahua's sweet and gentle voice came from outside, pulling Sheng Xia back to reality.
Sheng Xia's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of cleverness and intelligence: "I have no shortage of animal hides or food. If you want to know, you can trade me a pottery jar."
When Xiong Huahua saw Sheng Xia, her eyes lit up, her clear eyes blinking: "Can I exchange your clothes for this earthenware pot?"
She loves this dress so much!
"I won't change my clothes!"
"Food can be exchanged! We'll trade you new food for earthenware pots. If you need any, you can go home and get your own pots." Sheng Xia smiled gently, her beautiful eyes sparkling and innocent.
The streambank was covered with water celery, which looked like it had never been picked by any animals, making it a new food for them.
Everyone knows how valuable the new food in the Beast World is. Exchanging one new food for some pottery jars is a good deal.
The pottery tribe has no shortage of pottery jars.
The group of males were overjoyed and started chattering amongst themselves about which jars they would use to exchange for the jars.
In the height of summer, she thought of something and added, "I want a new, unused earthenware jar, not a used one."
"good!"
"Don't worry, every store has plenty of new ones, they won't try to fool you with used ones!"
………
Shengxia felt relieved. Orcs are simple-minded and straightforward, without many hidden agendas. If they promised to give a new one, they wouldn't use a used one to make up the difference.
Xiong Huahua snorted coldly: "What's so great about it? It just smells good, but it might taste terrible. I don't want it!"
After saying that, she turned and left, and her companions quickly followed.
Everyone happily went back to get their jars, and the large group of orcs vanished in the blink of an eye.
Sheng Xia smiled gently, her glass-like eyes shining brightly.
Pottery will inevitably suffer wear and tear during use, and with ample space, the more pottery jars the better.
"Alright, let's eat first, leave the rest to me." Wolf King led Sheng Xia into the house.
The food has already been served and placed on the table.
The cold water celery salad was visually appealing, and the stir-fried water celery with meat emitted a rich aroma. The steaming heat wafted to her nose, making her mouth water.
Shengxia swallowed hard and grabbed Wolf King, who was turning around.
She placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, revealing a sweet smile: "Let's eat together, it'll get cold soon."
His heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes to hide the throbbing in his chest. He felt that the beauty of midsummer was breathtaking.
"Eat quickly!" She looked up and smiled.
Her clear eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, exuded a mysterious and alluring charm.
The wolf king's eyes churned with emotions. Suddenly, he leaned down, raised his hand to lift her chin, pinned her against the table, and gently kissed her lips.
In the sweltering summer heat, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace. Her heart raced, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck, responding to his passionate kiss.
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Wolf King was very patient, restraining himself and taking care of Shengxia's feelings wholeheartedly.
Only when she was in a state of extreme joy did he breathe a sigh of relief and begin his.
He couldn't help but sigh, his heart overflowing with happiness.
He didn't quite understand why seeing Sheng Xia happy and cheerful seemed to make him feel more satisfied than if he were comfortable himself.
They sensed that he was making a comeback.
In the height of summer! Red ears! Chi, protecting her younger sister, said in a slightly hoarse yet charming voice: "Just, just once, no more than that, they'll be here to deliver the pottery jars soon."
"Okay." Wolf King's voice was extremely hoarse, but he quickly restrained himself.
He would never force himself on Shengxia if she said she didn't want it, even if it was incredibly painful.
Use the warm water in the room to quickly clean up the sweltering summer heat.
After cleaning up, he carried Shengxia to the table and sat her down. He then used his supernatural ability to heat the food to a perfect temperature for eating: "Sweetie, eat quickly."
Sheng Xia's cheeks flushed, and she gave him a reproachful look.
She lowered her head and eagerly picked up a mouthful of cold water celery salad. It was sour, spicy, and refreshing, with a unique fragrance that made it irresistible.
It tastes just like I remember!
Another bite of rice neutralized the spiciness in my mouth, making me feel incredibly happy.
In the sweltering summer, a bite of vegetables followed by a bite of rice—they ate with great relish.
Food tastes especially good after exercising!
After the meal, the orcs who came to exchange the pottery jars gradually arrived.
They were very considerate, giving Shengxia and the others enough time to eat, and deliberately arrived a little later.
After all, it's already impolite to come and disturb someone during mealtimes.
In the height of summer, she sat in the house, watching the wolf king stand tall and elegant in the yard, explaining the details to the beastmen who came to exchange for new food in a gentle voice.
"It's easy to tell them apart: poison hemlock stalks are covered with fine hairs, while water celery stalks are smooth..."
Her eyes were upturned, and her pupils seemed to sparkle with starlight, revealing a radiant smile.
As Shengxia watched, she suddenly felt thirsty. Without disturbing the Wolf King, she used her mind to retrieve a bowl of spiritual spring water and drank it directly.
It has a refreshing taste, and after drinking it, you feel warm all over, with a warm current flowing from your lower abdomen to your limbs and bones.
In the height of summer, I clearly felt my body lighten and become full of energy.
As if sensing something, she raised her hand, and a green leaf on her wrist turned into two, becoming much more vivid, which made the skin next to her look as white as jade.
It was all worth it for her to use the spiritual spring water for skincare every day! Seeing her skin becoming smoother and fairer day by day, Shengxia was overjoyed.
She looked up into the distance, her gaze resolute yet warm, as if she could see through time and perceive the possibilities of the future.
Just then, Wolf King turned around, and she gave him a bright smile.
"The earthenware pots have all been replaced, and they've all gone to the stream to pick water celery. Do you still want to go?" Wolf King walked over with a smile.
"No, three large baskets are enough for us to eat. Come here, look." Shengxia's eyes shone brightly as she stretched out her wrist in front of Wolf King, revealing two leaves.
!!
Wolf King's pupils dilated in shock. He looked at Sheng Xia and then down at the two leaves, confirming, "Your superpower has been upgraded."
"Hmm! I was thirsty just now, so I drank a bowl of spiritual spring water and that's how I feel." Sheng Xia smiled, her eyes full of cunning as she looked at Wolf King.
"How about that? Isn't it amazing? You're not even going to praise me~" Sheng Xia said softly, clinging to his arm.
