Ah Li saw it all from the side, and she said to He Jiaojiao with some envy, "Jiaojiao, your partner and I are getting along so well!"

He Jiaojiao curled her lips and said, "Of course not!"

"Your partner is not bad either!" Out of politeness, He Jiaojiao naturally had to praise the other person.

As a result, when these words fell into the ears of Chiyan Zhutian and Zhuxiong, they began to reflect on themselves. Could it be that because they had just done nothing, Jiaojiao disliked them?

So, almost at the same time, all three of them stood up.

Zhutian flapped his wings with Hongyi, preparing to catch some small animals. Chiyan quickly came to He Jiaojiao and led her to the grass covered with animal skins.

"Jiaojiao, you must be tired. Do you want to take a rest first?"

As he spoke, Chi Yan turned into a fiery red fox with eight tails raised, then motioned He Jiaojiao to lean on him, and even stuffed his tail into He Jiaojiao's hand like a servile person, letting her play with it.

Zhuxiong turned around in place and didn't find anywhere he was needed, so he simply ran over to help Ziyi.

Ali on the side was completely stunned. What happened?

"Ah Li, your fur skirt is wet. Do you have a change of clothes?" He Jiaojiao said, pretending to rummage through the fur bag next to her, but actually taking out a set of clothes from her space. "I have another set here. Do you want to change?"

Ahri's expression changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hand, "No need!"

Seeing Ahri's expression change, He Jiaojiao was puzzled. Fortunately, Chi Yan quickly helped her understand. It turned out that in the animal world, females were not allowed to wear animal skins sewn by other males, otherwise people would misunderstand their relationship. Although Ahri and He Jiaojiao had a good relationship now, there were some things that could not be shared.

"But you're wet, what should I do?"

He Jiaojiao was a little worried. After all, it was said that females in the animal world were very fragile. She hoped they wouldn't get sick.

"Ah Li, I brought it to you." Rui Ze, who was helping Zi Yi watch the fire, hurried over and said to He Jiaojiao, "I'll take her to the nearby woods to change."

He Jiaojiao nodded, but her eyes fell on Rui Ze's empty hands in confusion.

After a while, Ali came back, and she was wearing a fur skirt, which made He Jiaojiao even more curious.

Perhaps seeing He Jiaojiao's confusion, Ali took the initiative to explain, "Ruize's ability is a space, so when he goes out on weekdays, many things are placed in his space."

This was the first time He Jiaojiao encountered an orc with spatial abilities after coming to the Beast World for so long. If she wasn't afraid that Ahri would misunderstand her, she would have wanted to go over and have a good chat with Rui Ze.

"Jiaojiao, what are you wearing on your feet?"

Ali sat down and her eyes fell on the "straw sandals" that He Jiaojiao took off and put aside. This was her improved version. Not only was the upper made of cut animal skins, but the soles were also made of two thick layers of animal skins. This made the shoes much more comfortable than the straw sandals in the animal world, and they were also very durable.

He Jiaojiao immediately picked up the shoes and introduced them to Ali, explaining in detail how they were made and what materials were used.

"Thank you Jiaojiao, I'll let Amu try it when I get back."

Ali had long disliked her straw sandals. They were rough and uncomfortable, and they were also not durable. She had to weave a new pair every once in a while, which was a real hassle. But she always just complained about the hassle, never considering using other materials.

Seeing that Ali seemed to take it for granted that she was leaving all the work to the male, He Jiaojiao actually wanted to remind her. After all, she felt that being together was a mutual thing, and she shouldn't just rely on the male.

After a while, most of the males who had gone out came back. Zhutian and Amu brought back some small animals, and Mo Ran also found a lot of ginger. Not only that, he also saw a nest of bird eggs not far away and brought them back as well.

Ziyi moved quickly, directing Rui Ze to clean the small beast. Then, he cut off the fattest part and began to boil the oil. Worried that He Jiaojiao would be hungry while waiting, he boiled a little oil and put the fish into the pan. After frying both sides until golden brown, he was about to add water when He Jiaojiao stopped him.

"Ayi, this egg can also be fried and then cooked in the fish soup."

Ziyi only half understood what was going on, but he still stopped pouring water and pushed the fish to one side of the stone pot. Then he picked up the bird's egg and was about to put it in the pot. He Jiaojiao hurried over, took the egg from Ziyi's hand, cracked it, and poured it into the pot. After frying it until one side was set, she instructed Ziyi to flip it over and continue frying until both sides were golden brown. Only then did she let Ziyi quickly pour in the water.

"Alright, just wait until the fish soup boils and cook for a while!"

He Jiaojiao said this and returned to sit down on the animal skin mat.

"Jiaojiao, how can a female like you cook food yourself? What if you get hurt?"

From birth until now, in Ahri's cognition, these rough jobs were all done by males. When she didn't have a partner, it was her mother's partners, her fathers, who did the work. When she had a partner, she naturally let her partner do it.

"Ah Li, the relationship between animals is mutual. I think I'm no worse than the males, and I'm healthy. Why should I let them do it?" He Jiaojiao said, glancing at her partner. "Besides, they're exhausted taking care of me. Going hunting is really hard work."

Although Mo Ran and the others also feel that taking good care of He Jiaojiao is what they should do, it does not mean that they do not need He Jiaojiao's understanding and care.

When Ali saw the interaction between He Jiaojiao and her partner, she felt vaguely that this seemed to be the correct way to get along with a partner.

After a while, the fish soup was ready. Ziyi naturally gave the first bowl to He Jiaojiao and put three fried bird eggs in the soup.

He Jiaojiao took a look in the pot and found that there were not many bird eggs, so she didn't rush to eat them.

Rui Ze was not to be outdone and also brought the first bowl of soup to Ali. Ali had been feeling hungry for a long time and immediately started eating without paying any attention to Amu and Rui Ze who were sitting next to her.

He Jiaojiao sighed slightly when she saw this, but she was not in a hurry to educate Ali. Instead, she waited silently until her companions had served their soup and sat down before she slowly spoke.

"Ayi, why is there no egg in your bowl?" He Jiaojiao took a quick look and found that there was an egg in the bowls of other companions, but Ziyi's bowl only had soup but no egg.

Ziyi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I don't need to eat, Jiaojiao, go eat!"

He Jiaojiao took a look at the stone pot. There was still some soup and two eggs in it. She thought that they were left by Ziyi for Ali's two companions, so she had no room to eat.

"How can that be!" He Jiaojiao took an egg from her bowl and put it in Ziyi's bowl without saying anything. "I can't finish all of this either. Please help me share one!"

Zi Yi suddenly grinned and hummed heavily.
