Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

After finishing breakfast, Xiang Liu began to busy himself with expanding the outer cave.

To speed things up, Xiangliu conjured up its tail and lashed it against the cave wall. Soon, a small hole was carved into the wall, and cold air kept pouring in.

Sang Yu had never seen a cave expanded only to break through it. Worried, she asked, "What should we do? Let's plug the hole quickly."

Lu Yao: "Don't worry, Xiang Liu deliberately broke through the cave wall so that he could build a heated kang bed."

Sang Yu: "Won't the cold wind blow directly onto the kang (heated brick bed)?"

Lu Yao: "No, we'll only leave a small hole for ventilation; the rest will be sealed off."

Tianwu: "It's too cold here, Yaoyao, let's go back to the stone chamber!"

Lu Yao: "Everyone, go to the stone chamber to rest for a while. We'll come out after they've set up the heated kang."

Granny Wu: "Master, go and rest. Let Sang Yu bring the two children to my stone chamber for a while."

Sang Yu arrived at the witch's stone chamber and was astonished to see the firelight from the stove on the heated brick bed.

Niannian and Bai Ze lay down on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Bai Ze: "It's so warm. Mother, come and sit on it."

Granny Wu: "Let the four of us squeeze in here tonight. Tomorrow night, once everything is tidied up outside, you can take Bai Ze to stay outside."

Sang Yu nodded: "Okay! Thank you, Granny Wu."

Not long after Lu Yao returned to the stone chamber, the system sounded an alarm.

System: "The pond capacity is insufficient. Please expand it as soon as possible."

When Lu Yao arrived at the pond, she saw that it was covered with lotus flowers. River shrimp were jumping up and down, some of them crashing heavily onto the lotus leaves.

Lu Yao used her consciousness to pluck a few lotus flowers and leaves, and then harvested a bucket of river shrimp and a few crabs.

Then I asked the system, "Do we not need to expand the capacity now?"

System: "There are too many lotus roots, the host still needs to expand its capacity."

Lu Yao: "I can't see it. Can the system help me get some lotus roots?"

Unexpectedly, the system actually produced a large lotus root and placed it directly into Lu Yao's hand.

Lu Yao quickly moved these things out of the space and then came to the outer cave.

Only Tianwu was inside the cave; it seems Xiangliu went outside to build a chimney.

Tianwu: "Yaoyao, is there anything you need?"

Lu Yao: "I took some things out of my space. Come with me and move them out."

Tianwu saw a pile of things on the ground and asked in surprise, "Did all of these grow in the pond?"

Lu Yao: "That's right, let's have grilled shrimp for lunch today."

Tianwu: "No problem."

Lu Yao pointed to the lotus root and said to Tian Wu, "This is a lotus root. Peel off the thin outer layer of skin, cut it into chunks, and cook it in bone broth. It's especially delicious."

Tianwu: "I'll take these things out now and cook them for you for lunch. But what should we do with the flowers and leaves?"

Lu Yao: "Let's put it in this wooden bucket first. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water in the bucket, this flower should be able to bloom for a few more days."

Tianwu: "Leave everything to me. Xiangliu's progress is very fast. Once we've fixed the extra loopholes, we'll start making lunch."

"You rest here. It's too cold outside, so don't come out. I'll come in and call you when the food is ready."

Lu Yao: "I understand, you go ahead and get busy."

After Tianwu left, Lu Yao asked the system, "Does the pond still need to be expanded?"

System: "The organisms in the pond are growing rapidly. We recommend that the host continue to expand the pond."

Having no other choice, Lu Yao spent four gold coins to buy two pond expansion vouchers from the shop.

After using the expansion voucher, the pond's area reached 13 square meters. Although the change wasn't huge, it could at least last for two more days.

Gold coins are too important to Lu Yao. It seems she needs to save up more gold coins before expanding the pond.

After Wu finished cooking, he immediately came over to call Lu Yao.

This was the first time Sang Yu and Bai Ze had ever eaten river shrimp and crabs raised with spiritual spring water.

Bai Ze: "This is so delicious! It's just like spirit beast meat, full of energy."

Sang Yu ate one shrimp and dared not eat any more.

Lu Yao: "Eat as much as you want, it's okay, there are still plenty of shrimp. Crabs aren't good for the baby, so I can't eat them either. You can all share them."

Sang Yu looked at the table full of grilled shrimp and crabs, then at the wooden bucket that had appeared in the corner. The flowers and leaves were still so fresh; they shouldn't be things that appear in the cold season.

Sang Yu instantly understood that Lu Yao might be the real goddess, because only a space could preserve food.

Since Lu Yao didn't say anything, Sang Yu didn't say anything either, but she felt even more awe for Lu Yao.

Lu Yao realized that Sang Yu had seen through her scheme but didn't say anything, so she decided there was no need to deliberately hide the fact that she had a spatial ability anymore. After all, they had both sworn an oath to the Beast God, and from now on they were all on her side.
