Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

That night, Xiang Liu hugged Lu Yao and said, "I plan to go to the inland tonight. If I haven't returned by tomorrow morning when you wake up, don't worry."

"I'll cook you a meal before I leave. You can just heat it up when you wake up. I'll also set up a barrier around the cave to ensure that no one will accidentally wander in again."

Lu Yao: "Let's go tomorrow. Traveling at night is too tiring."

Xiang Liu: "I want to spend more time with you during the day, and I'll leave after you fall asleep at night. I'll come back shortly after you wake up in the morning."

Lu Yao: "Then you should get some rest too!"

Xiang Liu: "Okay!"

The next morning, when Lu Yao woke up, Xiang Liu was indeed nowhere to be seen, and the fire inside the cave had been extinguished.

The coconut was half buried in the charcoal ash. Lu Yao touched it and found that it was still warm.

So Lu Yao opened the coconut lid, poured some soup into it, and then used chopsticks to pick out some kelp and clam meat, which she then brought to the table to eat.

Not long after the meal, Xiang Liu returned.

Xiang Liu: "Have you eaten yet?"

Lu Yao: "I've already eaten!"

Xiang Liu: "Today I found a misty forest in the inland. The mist is poisonous, so no orc dares to go in easily. We will move there in a few days."

Lu Yao: "It's poisonous, how can I live with it?"

Xiang Liu: "You've forgotten, after you become my partner you will be immune to all poisons. I found a large cave there, and inside there is a spiritual spring."

“We settled inside the cave, where the spring water is deep inside and won’t freeze during the cold season. This ensures our water supply.”

Lu Yao: "Then let's collect more supplies now. Don't you have a big appetite? Catch all the sea fish you like to eat, and I'll store them in my space for you."

Xiang Liu: "Your space is limited, so you should store more of the things you like to eat."

Lu Yao: "Don't worry, my space capacity isn't fixed; it can still grow."

Xiang Liu affectionately patted Lu Yao's head: "Okay!"

Xiang Liu: "I caught a flying beast for you in the Misty Forest today. I'll cook it for you to try at noon."

Lu Yao followed Xiang Liu to the cave entrance and saw a huge pheasant lying on the ground there.

Lu Yao: "Is it dead?"

Xiang Liu: "No, he was just knocked unconscious by the poison I gave him. I want you to eat something fresh."

Lu Yao: "This pheasant is huge, one leg is enough for me to eat."

Xiang Liu: "I'll go to the beach to take care of it, and then I'll take off my leg and roast it for you to eat."

Xiang Liu skewered the chicken legs together with a tree branch and roasted them over the fire.

Lu Yao took out some salt, crushed it, and sprinkled it evenly on the chicken leg: "Land prey doesn't taste very good, so we need to add some salt to make it taste better."

Xiang Liu: "I've got it."

Lu Yao: "Could you make me a plate to put the grilled meat on later?"

Xiang Liu: "Okay, what should we do?"

Lu Yao: "It's very simple. Just take a small piece of wood, sand it down, and make the inside slightly concave."

While the meat was being grilled, Xiang Liu made a large round plate and two small round plates for Lu Yao.

The meat was cooked, and Xiang Liu placed it on a plate on the table.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully made a plate and have earned one gold coin."

Xiang Liu tore off a small piece of meat, blew on it to cool it down, and then put it near Lu Yao's mouth.

Lu Yao took a bite: "It's especially delicious, you should try some too."

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully obtained the roasted chicken. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Xiang Liu: "I've eaten my fill in the woods, you should eat more."

Lu Yao only ate half a chicken leg before she couldn't eat anymore.

Lu Yao: "Xiang Liu, I'm full. Eat the rest while it's hot, don't waste it."

Xiang Liu: "Why are you eating so little? Is it not tasty?"

Lu Yao: "It's delicious, but I don't eat much to begin with. Besides, I like to eat vegetables and grains, and I didn't eat much meat before."

Xiang Liu: "What is grain?"

Lu Yao: "Rice, corn, sweet potatoes, and the like."

Xiang Liu: "What kinds are they? I'll go find them for you."

Lu Yao: "Those are all inland foods. I'll tell you once I find them inland."

Xiang Liu: "Then let's hurry up and go to the Misty Forest."

Lu Yao: "Don't rush. Let's get more salt to take with us. We'll get sick if we don't eat salt for a long time."

Xiang Liu: "Then this afternoon I'll boil salt and make a few more wooden barrels. Tomorrow I'll go hunting in the sea."

Lu Yao: "Those pearl oyster shells can also be used to hold things. If you have any smaller ones, you can bring them back too. I can use them to hold tableware."

Xiang Liu: "What are tableware?"

Lu Yao: "Plates, chopsticks, spoons and bowls used for eating are collectively called tableware."

Xiang Liu: "Teach me tomorrow, and I'll make you some spoons and bowls."

Lu Yao: "Okay!"
