The orcs who were shouting outside rushed towards the cave immediately after hearing Nanzhou's voice. At the same time, a strong voice was heard: "Yes, we are looking for a little wolf cub. We are coming right over!"

Soon, a group of more than 20 people, both male and female, of different ages, appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Amu~Amu~"

The little cub stood at the entrance of the cave and kept shouting, his tone full of joy, holding a piece of roasted sweet potato in his hand that had been squeezed into a sticky state.

After hearing his shout, a female who was smaller than Lan Qingling suddenly rushed out from the team.

She rushed to the cub and held him in her arms, crying, "Ah... Ah Mu's Ah Mu, who told you to run away? You scared Ah Mu to death!"

Little Ah Xi didn't quite understand what his mother said, but he just happily raised the roasted sweet potato in his hand and kept putting it into his mother's mouth: "Eat, give it to mother, it's delicious!"

"Snapped--"

A burly male with a beard rushed out of the team. He stretched out his hand and knocked the roasted sweet potato out of Ah Xi's hand. He said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Do you know how long your mother, I, and everyone in the tribe have been looking for you?"

"Wow--"

Ah Xi looked at the roasted sweet potato that fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Bad father! Bad father! I don't like father anymore~"

Hu, who was holding Ah Xi, also looked at the male in front of him with dissatisfaction and shouted angrily: "Qing!"

When Qing heard Xi's voice, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly: "I just want him to know that he can't run around. Hehe, he won't dare to do it next time~"

Xi rolled her eyes at him, then carried the still sobbing Ah Xi to Lan Qingling and Nanzhou, and kept thanking them: "Thank you, if you hadn't been so kind to take him in, he would have been killed by the wild beasts outside..."

When Xi said this, she choked up again. Lan Qingling waved her hands and said, "You're welcome. You're welcome."

After saying the two “you’re welcome”, Lan Qingling didn’t know what to say. She cried for help in her heart. She was really not good at comforting people!

Nanzhou saw Lan Qingling's dilemma at a glance, and immediately pulled her behind him, then said to Xi and Qing: "It's not safe outside anymore, you should return to the tribe as soon as possible."

Xi nodded quickly. She also knew that it was easy to get into danger if she stayed outside so late. If it was just her family, it would be fine, but there were many tribesmen following them who came out to look for Asi.

After thanking him profusely again, Xi took Asi, Qing and the orcs behind him back.

Lan Qingling heaved a sigh of relief only after watching them all leave. This kind of scene where you thank someone and I respond with politeness always reminds her of receiving New Year's money during the Chinese New Year. It was really stressful!

"Let's go! Let's continue eating!"

Lan Qingling turned around and sat back by the fire. Nanzhou naturally followed her without any doubt and sat back by the fire. He peeled all the remaining sweet potatoes and placed them in front of Lan Qingling.

After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Nanzhou took out some pork from the animal skin bag and asked Lan Qingling if she wanted to eat some barbecue. Lan Qingling patted her round belly in an unruly manner, then shook her head, indicating that she had finished her meal for today.

Nanzhou's stomach was still empty, so he sat next to Lan Qingling, took out a piece of raw meat and ate it bite by bite.

Lan Qingling looked at it curiously and couldn't help asking Nanzhou: "Nanzhou, is this raw meat really that delicious?"

"It's delicious. Tu'er, do you want to try it?" Nanzhou tore off a small piece and handed it to Lan Qingling, trying to sell her raw meat again.

Lan Qingling was really curious, so she took it. She put the meat under her nose and smelled it. Hmm... the smell was not bad, at least much better than the raw pork she had smelled before. Could it be that... the raw pork on the Longxuan Continent was different from the one on Earth?

Lan Qingling couldn't help but lower her head and take a bite.

"vomit--"

As soon as the meat entered her mouth, Lan Qingling gagged and quickly spat out the meat in her mouth.

Nanzhou was startled by Lan Qingling's reaction. He patted her on the back and handed her the warm water so that she could rinse her mouth.

After rinsing her mouth, Lan Qingling felt that the disgusting greasy taste was gone.

She couldn't help but look at Nanzhou with admiration in her eyes, and sighed in her heart: It's true that the local environment shapes the local people! Such unpalatable things turned out to be delicious in Nanzhou's mouth!

Until going to bed, Lan Qingling was still thinking about this matter.

Even in his dreams, he could see Nanzhou eating mouthfuls of raw meat.

The next morning, Lan Qingling got up on her own initiative under the dual temptations of barbecue and roasted sweet potatoes.

Just when they were halfway through their meal, they heard noisy voices outside the cave. Lan Qingling looked outside and found that it was Xi and Qing from yesterday. Little Asi was not there.

"This is our thank-you gift!" As soon as Xi entered the cave, she handed the thing in her hand to Lan Qingling, then said that Asi was still waiting at home, and hurriedly pulled Qinghuo away, as if she was afraid that Lan Qingling would not accept her thank-you gift.

Lan Qingling twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head and opened the small animal skin bag in her hand, only to see a piece of whitish animal meat inside.

Lan Qingling was dumbfounded and asked Nanzhou in confusion: "What kind of meat is this?"

Nanzhou took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then said: "It's white beetle meat."

As he spoke, Nanzhou stretched out his hand and gestured to Lan Qingling about the appearance of a white beetle. After seeing it, Lan Qingling discovered that the so-called white beetle was actually a snake.

Lan Qingling couldn't help but shudder, threw the white beetle meat into Nanzhou's hand and said: "You eat it, I won't eat it!"

Nanzhou wrapped up the meat and said, "Clams are common, but white crabs are not. I'll save this for you to eat at noon."

Lan Qingling shook her head so hard that an afterimage was left: "Eat, eat, eat now!"

When Nanzhou was about to say something, Lan Qingling suddenly patted her leg and said with a very serious expression: "Eat it for me!"

Nanzhou immediately took out the piece of white shrimp meat from the animal skin bag, and then ate it all while Lan Qingling had an indescribable expression on her face.

Lan Qingling heaved a sigh of relief only after she saw Nanzhou finish eating the white shrimp meat. God knows, she was most afraid of mollusks like snakes.

After eating and drinking, Nanzhou packed up his things again and set off again with Lan Qingling.

"Nanzhou, which do you think tastes better: grilled meat, boiled meat, or raw meat?" Lan Qingling asked while sitting on Nanzhou's arm and shaking her calves.

"Raw meat~" Nanzhou answered without hesitation.

After hearing this answer, Lan Qingling's shaking legs couldn't help but pause. She thought of the delicious food she had eaten before, which were all seasoned with various condiments such as pepper, aniseed, oil, and light soy sauce, but they only had salt now.

Lan Qingling felt that it must be because there were too few seasonings available that Nanzhou was unable to experience the charm of cooked food.

So, in the following days, Lan Qingling's figure kept shuttling through forests, plains and mountains. She wanted to find out the seasonings that she could recognize on the Longxuan Continent, and then make a delicious meal for Nanzhou to let him know the charm of real food!
