Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

After leaving the kitchen, Lu He and Lu Yan went to play with Bai Ye, while Meng Tong stayed in the kitchen making sweet potato pancakes.

Take the steamed sweet potatoes out and put them in a wooden bowl to slowly mash them into a paste. Meng Tong took some glutinous rice flour and white sugar from his space and put them in. After stirring evenly and there were no lumps, he kneaded it into a dough.

Fifteen minutes later, a smooth dough appeared before his eyes, and so far Meng Tong was quite satisfied.

Sprinkle some flour on the wooden table, then tear the dough into small pieces, knead them one by one into round cakes, making more than thirty in total before all the dough in the wooden basin is used up.

The next step is the final one: fry the sweet potato cakes in oil.

This step requires controlling the heat; it's best to fry the sweet potato cakes slowly over low heat until both sides are golden brown.

Meng Tong followed the instructions exactly as she had watched. Although she did burn some of the food at first, things got better and better as the process went on, and it even looked a bit like the results in the short videos.

After an hour of work, a plate of golden sweet potato pancakes was finally ready. The sweet and tempting aroma attracted the two sisters playing in the yard and Bai Ye.

Three heads peered at Meng Tong from the kitchen doorway, and Lu Yan's mouth was practically watering.

It smells so good.

"Mommy, what did you make? It smells so good! Can we eat it now?"

“It’s sweet potato pancakes,” Meng Tong replied. “He’er, come in and take them! They shouldn’t be too hot now.”

"Good~"

The little girl skipped in, carrying a wooden tray in both hands, and walked towards the living room, with Lu Yan and Bai Ye following behind.

After finishing up the kitchen work, Meng Tong followed.

"Try it and see if it's good. This is the first time Mommy has ever made it!"

As Meng Tong spoke, she took one for each of them and handed it to them. Bai Ye, who was lying on the ground watching longingly, was asked by Meng Tong after a moment's hesitation, "Can you eat it?"

Baiye nodded; it simply wanted to try it because of the aroma.

"Here, have one and see."

"Hooho~"

After happily eating the sweet potato pancake, Bai Ye's tail unconsciously started wagging.

"It's so delicious, Mommy, I love this... sweet potato pancake."

"Yes, it's sticky, sweet, and delicious."

The little girl chewed while praising Meng Tong, her mouth greasy with oil from the sweet potato cake.

Meng Tong sat down next to the two of them, wiped their mouths with a clean cloth from the table, and her eyes were full of joy.

"If you like it, have two more, but don't be greedy."

"Leave a few of the rest for your father to try, and save the rest for tomorrow, okay?"

"Good~"

The two obediently agreed.

Meng Tong only ate three; they contained glutinous rice, so eating too many would cause indigestion.

……

As evening fell and darkness descended, Lu Chuan, who had gone out hunting, had not yet returned.

The meal was ready in the living room, but the mother and her two daughters had no appetite and kept looking out into the yard.

"Mother, why hasn't Father come back yet?"

"It'll be quick. It's probably because there's a lot of prey that's hard to carry." Meng Tong patted the two sisters' heads reassuringly and then called over Bai Ye, who was resting outside the courtyard.

"You stay home and watch over those two sisters for me. I'm going to check on the cave."

"Hooho~"

Ok.

After giving Meng Tong a couple of light shouts, Bai Ye walked gracefully to Lu He and Lu Yan's side, rubbing his fluffy head against the sisters' legs.

In the past, Lu He and Lu Yan would have laughed happily, but now neither of them paid any attention to it. Their wet, worried eyes turned to Meng Tong, who was about to walk out of the courtyard.

"Mother~"

"Don't be afraid, Mother is just going to take a look. You all stay at home and wait for Mother and Father, okay?"

Meng Tong bent down slightly and rubbed Lu Yan, who was on the verge of tears, then looked at Lu He, who was still relatively calm, and said, "Keep a close eye on your sister, Mother will be back soon."

"Don't be afraid, Tiger is here with you."

"Ho ho ho~"

In an attempt to make his presence felt, Bai Ye roared so loudly it nearly blew the roof off, but surprisingly, it was very effective.

The two little ones calmed down; in their eyes, Bai Ye was still omnipotent.

Holding the luminous pearl in her hand, Meng Tong walked towards the cave, using her supernatural abilities to search for Lu Chuan's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of him within a ten-kilometer radius, and Meng Tong's expression turned somewhat grim.

Could it be that we encountered some large animal?!

……

Here, more than ten kilometers away in a dense forest, Lu Chuan, drenched in sweat, carried a bloodied figure on his back.

The man was in his forties, his face was obscured, and his black robe was completely ruined. His exposed skin was covered in wounds from being attacked and dragged by a bison, especially his left arm, where a hole had been gouged out by a bison's horn.

It was a bloody mess, it was terrifying to look at.

As the sky grew darker, a look of urgency flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes.

The ladies are probably going to be worried.

His steps quickened; Lu Chuan just wanted to get back to the valley as fast as possible.

Suddenly, a wild deer darted in front of Lu Chuan, blocking his way.

A bright white moon hung in the sky, and the man's deep, dark eyes became unfathomable, like a whirlpool at sea.

"roll."

He let out an angry shout, but the wild deer in front of him remained motionless, its innocent and clear eyes filled with anxiety.

What does it mean?

What is it anxious about?

Just as Lu Chuan was stunned, the wild deer leaped away and ran quite a distance, disappearing into the dim darkness and hissing at him.

A blurry voice echoed in his mind again, and Lu Chuan looked into the eyes of the wild deer.

It's saying, "Come with me."

With his thin lips pressed tightly together, the man hesitated for a moment before taking a step to follow the deer.

Lu Chuan, who had lost his way in the darkness, finally began to move in the right direction.

In less than half an hour, he entered the range covered by Meng Tong's supernatural abilities.

"Two people?"

Standing at the exit of the cave, Meng Tong opened his eyes and looked to the left.

Just eight or nine kilometers away, she sensed the presence of two people.

But Lu Chuan clearly went out alone?

Did they encounter other people on their hunting trip?

With doubts in his mind, Meng Tong took out a chair from his spatial storage and sat down at the entrance of the cave to wait.

If it really is Lu Chuan, then she'd like to see who he brought back.

If not… a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Meng Tong unconsciously tightened her grip on the chair; she wouldn't mind killing two more people.

Time passed slowly, and a bright moon hung overhead. Meng Tong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and shot a sharp, oppressive gaze at the wild deer hopping and leaping in the distance.

Then I saw two figures behind it.

Because Lu Chuan was carrying someone, and the shadow of the tree was quite large, Meng Tong couldn't tell who it was for a moment.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the strange energy in his palm continued to flow out continuously. A vine on the ground was already eager to fly away.

"it's me."
