The wind and snow outside were particularly heavy. In order to train Bai Ze, Tian Wu did not take Bai Ze flying with him, but instead had him transform into his beast form and run in the snow.

Soon the two arrived near the river, where the surface was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Tianwu: "Try chiseling it with your claws and see how your recent training has paid off."

A small white tiger was seen frantically scratching at the ice with its sharp claws, sending ice shards flying and quickly creating a small hole.

Bai Ze gradually lost his strength and collapsed.

Tianwu: "Go rest over there, watch me!"

Then Tianwu revealed its true form, slapping the ice surface with its front paws, and in a few strokes, it carved a large hole in the ice.

Both of them transformed back into human form and waited near the ice hole.

Before long, the fish in the river began to jump onto the ice.

Bai Ze jumped up excitedly: "Master is right, the fish really did jump out."

Tianwu handed Bai Ze a leather pouch: "Go and put all the big fish into the pouch."

He then took a wooden bucket to the ice hole, channeled water into it, and threw some small fish into the bucket.

The two quickly reaped a considerable harvest.

Tianwu: "Let's go back first and let your mother see if these little fish are the spiny creatures she mentioned."

Bai Ze had rested enough, so he transformed into his beast form and ran towards the Misty Forest.

Tianwu, carrying an animal skin bag and a wooden bucket, flew up behind Bai Ze.

Back in the cave, Bai Ze excitedly called out to Sang Yu, who was sitting on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), "Mother, come and see! Are these the same small fish you used to eat?"

Sang Yu put Jia Liu down from her arms and walked to the wooden tub.

Sang Yu: "That's right, that's it. I'll go make soup for my master right now."

After Sang Yu finished cooking the fish soup, Tian Wu served Lu Yao a large bowl of it.

Lu Yao leaned against Xiang Liu's chest as Tian Wu fed her fish soup.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained a crucian carp. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Lu Yao drank her soup while looking at the illustrations of crucian carp.

Unexpectedly, crucian carp is also a medicinal material that can treat weak spleen and stomach, poor appetite and weakness, dysentery, bloody stools, edema, gonorrhea, carbuncles and ulcers.

After finishing a bowl of fish soup, Lu Yao asked Tian Wu, "Are there any live crucian carp left?"

Tianwu: "There are many. Should I bring them in for you now?"

Lu Yao: "Okay!"

Tianwu went out and brought the wooden bucket in, placing it next to the heated brick bed.

Lu Yao: "Put the fish in my hand, I want to raise it."

Xiang Liu: "Is there something special about this fish?"

Lu Yao: "This crucian carp is also a kind of medicinal material, which can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness."

Tianwu placed a fish in Lu Yao's hand. The fish was indeed as described in the illustrated guide: "It has an oval-shaped body, is laterally compressed, and is the highest point of the body at the origin of the dorsal fin. The ventral margin is narrow and has no dermal ridges. The eyes are located in the middle of the side, and the posterior margin is relatively close to the snout."

Lu Yao released six crucian carp into the pond in succession, and the system issued an alarm.

System: "The pond space is insufficient. Please expand the pond as soon as possible."

Lu Yao quickly purchased two pond expansion vouchers from the online store.

After using the expansion voucher, the pond's area reached 15 square meters, and the system finally stopped alarming. However, Lu Yao had very few gold coins left and needed to find a way to accumulate more, otherwise it would be difficult to expand her space.

That evening, Lu Yao didn't eat dinner, but only drank a large bowl of fish soup.

Not long after drinking the fish soup, Lu Yao's breast milk finally came in.

Lu Yao said excitedly, "Xiang Liu, quickly bring Jia Liu in, I have breast milk now."

Xiang Liu brought his daughter in and placed her in Lu Yao's arms.

Seeing Xiang Liu staring intently at her, Lu Yao said uncomfortably, "Turn your back!"

Xiang Liu: "You're a mother now, why are you still so shy?"

After saying that, he turned away helplessly.

Although it was Jia Liu's first time drinking breast milk, she loved it. Unfortunately, Lu Yao's milk supply was not plentiful, and Jia Liu ran out before she was full.

Lu Yao regretfully handed Jia Liu to Xiang Liu: "It seems we'll have to drink more crucian carp soup tomorrow, there's simply not enough breast milk for Jia Liu!"

Xiang Liu: "You should just enjoy your barbecue and not torture yourself. Jia Liu can have bone broth if she's hungry."

Jia Liu seemed to understand Xiang Liu's words and smiled at him.

Xiang Liu was overjoyed: "Yao Yao, look, she smiled at me. She understood what I said and is responding to me!"
