Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

Lu Yao emptied the plum blossoms from the animal skin bag onto the ground, carefully selected her favorites, and then placed them in the wooden bucket.

Bai Ze lay on the edge of the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), playing with Niannian and Jialiu.

Bai Ze often played with Nian Nian and Jia Liu in his beast form, so no one paid much attention to him.

Even after dinner was prepared, Bai Ze still refused to transform back into human form, which made everyone feel a little strange.

Sang Yu: "What's wrong with you, kid? It's almost time to eat, why don't you quickly turn back into human form and sit down properly!"

Bai Ze: "I...I'm not hungry yet!"

Lu Yao carefully observed Bai Ze and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Would you like some spiritual spring water?"

Bai Ze quickly shook his head: "No... I'm not feeling unwell!"

Tianwu laughed and said, "Just turn back into human form, no one will laugh at you!"

Bai Ze transformed back into human form. Sang Yu noticed that his nose was red and swollen and asked, "What happened to this?"

Bai Ze explained awkwardly, "When I was picking plum blossoms from the tree, I was bitten by a small yellow bug, and that's how it turned out."

Lu Yao asked excitedly, "Does that little bug also have black stripes on its body?"

Bai Ze: "That's right, how did Master know?"

Lu Yao: "That's a bee, which feeds solely on nectar. It has a stinger at the end of its abdomen, and if you get stung, it will cause redness and swelling!"

Niannian: "What is nectar? Is it delicious?"

Lu Yao: "It's sweet and especially delicious."

Niannian: "Niannian wants to eat too!"

Lu Yao: "If you want to eat honey, you must first find a beehive."

Tianwu: "Yaoyao, you can tell me what to do. I'll go out and look for it tomorrow."

Bai Ze: "I want to go too!"

Lu Yao: "Let's ease the swelling on your nose first!"

Lu Yao took out a fresh mint from her spatial storage and handed it to Bai Ze: "Chew the mint leaves and apply them to your nose; it will make you feel much better."

Bai Ze picked a few mint leaves, chewed them up, and applied them to his nose: "It's so cool and refreshing!"

Lu Yao: "Eat first, and after you finish eating I'll give you a few more. Just apply them when you feel pain, and you'll feel better soon!"

Bai Ze happily ate dinner with everyone. After dinner, Lu Yao brought out a few mint plants for Bai Ze.

Bai Ze: "That's too much!"

Lu Yao: "It's alright, I have plenty more here, you can keep them!"

Tianwu said to Bai Ze, "Keep it safe. We're going out tomorrow, aren't we? You might need it if you get stung again!"

Bai Ze: "How do we find the beehive?"

Lu Yao: "Pay attention to the flight path of the bees. They will return to the hive after collecting honey. Bees are afraid of smoke, so you can light a fire under the hive. Lighting damp wood will produce a lot of smoke."

"Make sure all the bees have been driven away before removing the hive, and be careful not to get stung!"

Tianwu: "Are bees afraid of water?"

Lu Yao: "I'm also afraid. If we hide in the water, the bees won't be able to sting us."

Tianwu: "That makes things easier. I can use water to create a barrier to protect myself while smoking out the bees, and they definitely won't sting me or Bai Ze!"

The next morning, Tianwu took Bai Ze to the plum grove again.

As expected, the two returned in the evening carrying a beehive.

Niannian curiously lay down next to the beehive and looked at it for a long time.

Lu Yao took out a wooden bucket: "Open the beehive and put the honey into the bucket!"

Tianwu opened the beehive: "What are these white insects?"

Lu Yao: "They're bee larvae!"

Niannian: "I'll take it to feed the chickens!"

Lu Yao: "This is very nutritious, and it tastes delicious after being deep-fried!"

Niannian: "Then let's eat it ourselves!"

Bai Ze brought over a large bowl, picked out all the bee larvae, and put them into the bowl.

Lu Yao used a bone knife to cut off a small piece of honeycomb and put it into Niannian's mouth.

Niannian: "So sweet!"

Lu Yao: "What you can't chew is beeswax, you have to spit it out!"

Lu Yao continued cutting the food, letting everyone try a piece.

Finally, he put one piece into his mouth.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained beeswax and honey, and are rewarded with two gold coins."

Besides the roasted meat that Sang Yu made for dinner, Tian Wu also fried a large bowl of bee larvae.

Everyone sat around the kang table and enjoyed the fried larvae.

Lu Yao: "The Tianwu fried dough is cooked to perfection, it's so delicious!"

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

Tianwu: "If Yaoyao likes it, that's good. I'll go out and look for more tomorrow!"

Lu Yao: "No need, just taste it. After the cold season, all kinds of flowers will bloom one after another, and it will be easy to find a beehive!"
