He Jiaojiao smiled. She probably knew that the strange smell in Mo Ran and the others' mouths was the smell of mutton. In the animal world, there was no ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, so it would naturally be a bit muttony. But if it was blanched in water, it should be much better.

In her previous life, if she had not been very successful in the entertainment industry, He Jiaojiao might have chosen to be a cook. She really liked the feeling of busying herself in the kitchen and seeing all the food she made being eaten up.

"I want to try it!"

Since He Jiaojiao had spoken, Mo Ran and Zi Yi had no choice but to do as they were told. So Mo Ran stayed and cut the goat meat into small pieces according to He Jiaojiao's requirements, while Zi Yi went out to find a larger stone, hollowed out the stone with his sharp claws, and made a stone pot.

When Ziyi brought back the cleaned stone pot, Mo Ran's mutton had already been sorted and cut.

He Jiaojiao originally wanted to do it herself, but Ziyi was worried she might get burned, so he asked her to direct while he did the cooking. As for Mo Ran, he had already picked up a leg of lamb and was roasting it.

There were already people grilling the meat and making the soup, so He Jiaojiao had no choice but to sit aside and watch, occasionally giving instructions.

Following He Jiaojiao's instructions, Ziyi filled the stone pot with water, then placed the meat directly in and brought it to a boil. After a while, he took the meat out, poured out the water from the stone pot, and then returned the meat to the stone pot, stir-frying it a few times before adding water and starting to boil again. Although Ziyi didn't understand, he still obeyed without a single complaint.

It was much simpler for Mo Ran. He pierced the lamb legs with branches and roasted them by the fire, turning them over from time to time. When they were almost cooked, he would sprinkle some salt on them.

The stone pot is thicker than the iron pot, and it takes a lot of time to boil the soup. But after the soup boiled for a while, the color of the soup slowly began to turn white, which made Mo Ran and Zi Yi open their mouths in surprise.

When they cooked this kind of soup before, it never turned out this color.

What surprised them even more was that He Jiaojiao, a female, could actually cook. After all, females were so precious, and dangerous tasks like cooking were basically done by males.

After a while, the mutton soup in the pot gave off an enticing aroma, and even Mo Ran and Zi Yi couldn't help but swallow their saliva. However, if you want the mutton to be soft and delicious, you need to stew it for a longer time.

While waiting for the soup, Ziyi was not idle. He went to the stream where he had washed the goats before and found some stones of suitable size to make a few stone bowls. He also broke off some branches to use as chopsticks.

When Ziyi came back, the soup in the stone pot was almost done.

Zi Yi filled a bowl, then wrapped the outer surface of the stone bowl with animal skin before handing it to He Jiaojiao. When He Jiaojiao took it, she was obviously stunned for a moment, then she met those purple eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He Jiaojiao sniffed the fragrant mutton soup and took a sip. The milky white mutton soup instantly filled her mouth with its aroma. Then she took a bite of the mutton, which had been stewed for so long that it was soft and tender, with a particularly sweet flavor.

"very nice!"

He Jiaojiao squinted her eyes in satisfaction. She had never thought that her appetite would be unexpectedly satisfied in the animal world.

Seeing He Jiaojiao eating so happily, Zi Yi and Mo Ran also became happy.

He Jiaojiao had a small appetite, and after slowly drinking a bowl of mutton soup, she felt bloated. Seeing that He Jiaojiao didn't want to eat anymore, Mo Ran and Zi Yi finished the rest.

After eating and drinking, He Jiaojiao asked Mo Ran to bring a big stone to the entrance of the cave. She sat on it with her eyes squinted, watching the setting sun.

At that time, the sun had turned into a beautiful fiery red, and the western sky was also dyed orange, which was so beautiful.

In her previous life, He Jiaojiao was always busy with work, busy making her favorite music, or on the way to an announcement, and she almost never had a chance to watch the sunset.

"Stop working, both of you!"

He Jiaojiao looked at the two people who were still packing, waved at them, and motioned them to sit with her for a while.

The orange-red sunset cast a shadow on He Jiaojiao, as if she were covered in a layer of light. Facing the light, He Jiaojiao smiled freely, like a goddess who made it impossible to look away.

"Look!"

Looking in the direction He Jiaojiao pointed, Mo Ran curled his lips slightly but said nothing. He had been busy all these years, afraid that if he stopped, he would be disliked by the tribe. It had been a long time since he stopped to look at the sky like this.

Zi Yi, on the other hand, looked confused and had no idea what He Jiaojiao wanted him to look at.

Looking at Zi Yi's confused face, He Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, and Mo Ran was also amused by this young man.

He Jiaojiao didn't stretch until the sun had completely set, and then she stood up. Just as she was about to return to the cave, she suddenly heard the howling of wolves in the woods.

He Jiaojiao, who had always lived in the city, had never heard such a horrible sound. She subconsciously glanced at the forest and felt a little scared.

"Don't be afraid!"

Mo Ran stepped forward and hugged He Jiaojiao in his arms, then looked at Zi Yi. However, Zi Yi had already rushed out the moment He Jiaojiao was hugged tightly in his arms.

After a while, a deafening tiger roar was heard in the woods.

Hearing the tiger's roar, He Jiaojiao blinked and looked at Mo Ran, as if to confirm. Mo Ran smiled and nodded, confirming He Jiaojiao's idea.

He Jiaojiao's eyes widened instantly. She had never imagined that Zi Yi, who usually seemed gentle and kind, could roar so fiercely that it shook the entire forest. He Jiaojiao felt very proud at the thought that such a brave tiger belonged to her.

Just as He Jiaojiao was thinking that she would praise the big tiger when he came back, she saw Ziyi's figure walking out from the shade of the trees in the dense forest.

At that time, the moon had come out and the moonlight was very bright, so He Jiaojiao saw Zi Yi at a glance and rushed over quickly.

"Ziyi, you are amazing. You drove away the wolves so quickly."

Listening to He Jiaojiao's generous praise, Ziyi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and his golden hair was scratched into a mess like a chicken coop.

In the animal world, it is taken for granted for males to do things for females. There are almost no males who would praise them like He Jiaojiao, because other females think it is their duty and don't think anything of it.

Zi Yi was indeed happy, but Mo Ran next to him was jealous, especially when he saw He Jiaojiao staring at Zi Yi with sparkling eyes. He wanted to rush up and hit Zi Yi away with his tail.

But at this moment, He Jiaojiao didn't notice anything strange about Mo Ran. She smiled and talked and laughed with Zi Yi, and then they entered the cave together.

When He Jiaojiao reacted and reached out to pull Mo Ran, she found that he was still standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Moran!"

He Jiaojiao called out sweetly.

The frost on his face just now disappeared the moment he heard He Jiaojiao calling him. The moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his face again, and he walked towards He Jiaojiao.
