Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

That evening, while Lu Yao was resting in bed, she redeemed five expansion vouchers.

After using the expansion scroll, Lu Yao's space reached 33 square meters.

After waking up, the system started beeping again.

The system message reads: "Please expand the pond. The pond capacity is insufficient."

Lu Yao: "I didn't put anything in there!"

System: "The river shrimp farmed by the host have begun to reproduce in large numbers, resulting in insufficient pond space."

Lu Yao used her consciousness to observe the area around the pond, and sure enough, the pond was teeming with river shrimp of all sizes.

Lu Yao selected some of the larger ones, put them into the wooden barrel, and moved them out of the space.

Xiang Liu: "Why did you bring out so many shrimp? Are you planning to eat grilled shrimp?"

Lu Yao: "With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, these shrimp are growing too fast, and the pond can't hold them all. Let's have grilled shrimp for breakfast this morning."

Xiang Liu: "Okay, I'll go out and do it! I'll come and call you when it's done."

Lu Yao nodded obediently.

After Xiang Liu left, Lu Yao went to the mall to buy pond exchange coupons.

I spent 8 gold coins to buy four pond expansion vouchers.

After using the pond expansion voucher, Lu Yao's pond reached eight square meters.

After the meal was prepared, Tianwu returned from outside carrying his prey.

Tianwu: "What's that smell? It smells so good."

Lu Yao: "These are shrimp raised in the spiritual spring water. You can try them in a bit."

After Lu Yao finished eating the grilled shrimp and meat soup, she went to feed Niannian and Granny Wu.

The old witch can only drink soup, but Nian Nian can already eat shrimp.

After finishing the grilled shrimp and drinking the meat soup, Nian Nian said, "Master, I can feed Grandma now, you can go and rest!"

Lu Yao: "Niannian is such a good girl. You can feed her then. I'll go wash some fruit for you."

After Lu Yao came out of the small stone chamber, she saw Tian Wu and Xiang Liu childishly fighting over shrimp.

Lu Yao: "I have plenty more in my space. You can bake more if it's not enough."

Tianwu: "No need, I've already eaten my fill outside, but the shrimp raised in the spiritual spring water are just too delicious."

Xiang Liu: "I'm going out hunting. Is there anything Yao Yao wants me to bring back?"

Lu Yao: "Hasn't Tianwu already returned from the hunt?"

Xiang Liu: "Those are meant to be saved for the cold season, and they're not enough for one meal."

Lu Yao: "I've expanded the pond. Could you see if there's anything edible in the river and bring it back to me?"

Xiang Liu: "Okay, I'll take an extra wooden bucket and two bags with me. I'll bring back some good stuff for you."

After finishing his meal, Tianwu busied himself boiling salt and curing meat. Lu Yao stood guard at the cave entrance, sewing a sack while waiting for Xiangliu to return.

Xiang Liu didn't return at noon, so Tian Wu said, "I'll cook. I guess Xiang Liu went somewhere far away and won't be back until the afternoon."

Tianwu roasted the horse meat he had prepared the day before and gave it to Lu Yao.

After Lu Yao finished eating, Tian Wu said, "Go back and rest quickly. Xiang Liu will be back after you take a nap."

Lu Yao became increasingly prone to fatigue after becoming pregnant. She would feel incredibly sleepy after meals, return to the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), and quickly fall asleep.

Lu Yao slept until evening, and when she opened her eyes, she found Xiang Liu beside her.

Xiang Liu: "You're finally awake. I was worried you might be sick."

Lu Yao: "How long have I been asleep?"

Xiang Liu: "It's already evening."

Lu Yao: "That's strange, how come I slept for so long?"

Xiang Liu: "It's probably because there are cubs. Let's go out and see what good things I brought back for you."

When Lu Yao arrived at the cave entrance, she saw many river crabs in the wooden bucket. They were exceptionally large, about the same size as bread crabs.

Lu Yao: "This is crab. I want to eat boiled crab tonight, but crab is considered a cold food, so I'm worried it might not be good for the baby."

Xiang Liu: "Then just eat one bite to taste it. We'll raise the rest until they give birth to their young."

Lu Yao: "Okay!"

Xiang Liu opened two more large bags, which were full of lotus flowers and leaves, as if they had been uprooted by Xiang Liu. There were also a few lotus pods and some lotus roots.

Lu Yao: "How do you know these are all edible?"

Xiang Liu: "I don't know, I just think it looks really good. Maybe I can uproot it and transplant it into your pond."

Lu Yao selected two lotus flowers and placed them in the spiritual spring pond in her space, one white and one pink, which looked very beautiful.

Lu Yao pointed to a section of lotus root and said, "This is lotus root. Cut it into small pieces and cook it in bone broth. It's especially delicious."

Lu Yao checked the illustrated guide and said, "Lotus flowers can clear heat and relieve summer heat, and are suitable for summer fever, such as fever and thirst."

"Lotus leaves have the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and have a certain therapeutic effect on febrile diseases and hemorrhagic diseases."

"The lotus stem can clear heat and promote diuresis, and has a certain effect on improving symptoms such as edema and difficulty in urination."

"Lotus seeds have the effects of calming the mind and soothing the nerves, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea. They can improve symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and diarrhea due to spleen deficiency."

"Lotus root has a significant hemostatic effect and is effective in treating various bleeding disorders, such as epistaxis, nosebleeds, hemoptysis, and hematochezia."

Tianwu also came over and listened attentively. He couldn't help but praise, "Lu Yao truly lives up to her title of Goddess. Even ordinary flowers and plants become life-saving medicinal herbs in your eyes."

Lu Yao disassembled each part of the lotus flower and said, "Just sort them out according to my method, and dry and preserve them separately."

System notification: "Congratulations, host. You have obtained the medicinal herbs lotus flower, lotus leaf, lotus stem, lotus seed, and lotus root. You are rewarded with five gold coins."

Lu Yao asked Xiang Liu to keep a few crabs, and put the rest into the spatial pond.

The system prompted: "The space pond capacity is insufficient. Please expand it, host."

The gold coins I just got are about to be spent again.

Lu Yao took out six gold coins and went to the store to buy three pond expansion scrolls.

The pond reached a capacity of 11 square meters, and the system finally quieted down.
