Young man, do you cook?

"This..."

Danzhu looked at Xu Yanwu in surprise as he finished modifying the clay figurine.

After Xu Yanwu added an "indestructible" buff to the clay figurine, Danzhu couldn't help but snatch it over and examine it.

"Uncle Xu Yanwu, you made this?"

Danzhu looked at the rows of small characters on the base of the clay figurine in amazement: "What kind of writing is this? I've never seen it before."

"Huh?" Xu Yanwu was taken aback. "Lesser Seal Script, what's wrong?"

Xu Yanwu had originally planned to carve in simplified characters, but after some thought, he decided simplified characters lacked style, so he carved the clay figurine in Lesser Seal Script...

"Lesser Seal Script? Is there such a writing system?"

Although Danzhu was curious, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was an ancient script Xu Yanwu was using.

Xu Yanwu fell into thought. It seemed there were still some subtle differences between the previous civilization and this one...

"Take your time studying it. By the way, where are Chi Yuan, Ji Xuanyuan, and your sister?" Xu Yanwu rolled himself into a spring roll with his blanket and jumped out of bed.

"They..." Danzhu's expression was a little complicated. "They are leading the tribe back to collect the bodies. They left me to take care of you."

"..."

Xu Yanwu's mood also became a little low.

Although he knew it wasn't his fault, if Xu Yanwu had arrived sooner, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died.

Therefore, Xu Yanwu felt regret, and could only feel regret.

"Sniffle~ I'll go see them then..."

Xu Yanwu sniffled, intending to find something to do.

As Xu Yanwu walked along, he noticed that the atmosphere in the tribe was ultimately sorrowful.

Almost every family had lost loved ones, and there were many children who had lost their parents.

Xu Yanwu searched for a long time before spotting Ji Lin sitting high up with her knees hugged to her chest (since they had already met, Ji Lin would be used from now on, and Lianshan the same).

...Hmm... and Lianshan, hiding behind a tree and secretly watching Ji Lin.

The outwardly cool but inwardly passionate Shennong...

"Hey!" Xu Yanwu tiptoed behind Lianshan and clapped him on the shoulder. "Kid, what are you doing? Peeping?"

"Ah!"

Lianshan was startled by Xu Yanwu's sudden approach. He relaxed when he saw it was Xu Yanwu. "It's... Brother Xu. I..."

Only then did Lianshan realize what Xu Yanwu had just said, and his face instantly turned red. "I-I-I wasn't peeping. I just saw Ji Lin looked very sad, and I couldn't stop worrying, so..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Xu Yanwu clicked his tongue. "You're already calling her Ji Lin. Kid, you're something else. Yesterday, I saw you two holding hands when you faced me together. Not bad, really not bad..."

"That... I... it's not..."

Lianshan's words became choppy.

"Then I'll ask directly. Do you like her?"

Xu Yanwu smiled slyly.

Xu Yanwu quite liked the pair of Ji Lin and Lianshan. Shennong was indeed deeply in love with Ji Lin. In the Honkai world, after Ji Lin, Cang Xuan, Danzhu, and the others sealed Chi You, Lianshan waited for Ji Lin's return until he grew old and died, still waiting...

Xu Yanwu didn't mind helping them out. It would be even more fun if these two could have ten or eight children...

"You, what are you talking about..."

Lianshan felt a bit awkward and wanted to escape.

"I mean... you like Ji Lin, right?"

Xu Yanwu suddenly pinned Lianshan against a tree, blocking his escape route.

"I..."

"Don't play dumb with me! One sentence! Like her or not!"

"I like Ji Lin..."

"Ah... that's more like it..."

Xu Yanwu rubbed Lianshan's head with satisfaction. "Let's first think about how to comfort Ji Lin right now..."

Xu Yanwu's lips curved into a mischievous smile.

If he remembered correctly, Ji Lin had a trait of being a foodie, right?

Looking at Xu Yanwu's smile, Lianshan felt a shiver down his spine, as if he had been targeted by something formidable.

"Young man..."

Xu Yanwu's eyes gleamed as he looked at Lianshan. "Do you want to learn to cook with me?"

"No..."

"Hm?" Xu Yanwu let out a nasal sound, staring at Lianshan.

Instantly, Lianshan's powerful survival instinct kicked in.

"Um... I'm learning..."

--- Location where the two Honkai Beasts, Feng Bo and Yu Shi, are kept ---

"Lord Ying Long, Madam Jiang Zhu."

The two guards bowed to Lianshan and Xu Yanwu, whom Lianshan had brought along.

"You know me?"

Xu Yanwu asked with great interest.

"Lord Ying Long saved our tribe from dire straits yesterday. How could we not know you, Lord Ying Long?"

The guard inquired, "May I ask why Lord Ying Long has come here?"

"To cook!"

Xu Yanwu said cheerfully, "I want to get some ingredients from Feng Bo and Yu Shi..."

"Lord Ying Long, these two monsters are not edible!"

The guards were greatly alarmed. "In the past, some people tried to eat monster meat to survive, but those who ate the meat ended up turning into monsters themselves!"

Lianshan naturally knew about this, but he couldn't stop Xu Yanwu...

"It's alright, it's alright, Feng Bo and Yu Shi can be eaten now," Xu Yanwu said dismissively, waving his hand. "All the Honkai Energy in their bodies has been absorbed by me. Even ordinary people won't turn into Death Corpses if they eat it now."

As Xu Yanwu spoke, he had already walked to Feng Bo's corpse. "Well... Feng Bo and Yu Shi are quite large, I'll just take a part of them."

As he spoke, Xu Yanwu conjured a blade of energy in his hand and sliced at Feng Bo's right hind leg.

"Let me tell you, deer meat is very nutritious. Later, I'll cut some snake meat to make a stew, letting the whole tribe taste my cooking."

Xu Yanwu shouldered the huge deer leg he had cut off, showing no signs of fatigue.

Xu Yanwu didn't know what kind of strange training his body had undergone, but his physical strength was now terrifyingly great. Let alone a deer leg, he could even lift the entire Feng Bo.

His gaze then shifted to Yu Shi's corpse.

"Hehehehe... This shouldn't even be called snake meat anymore... It should be flood dragon meat..."

Xu Yanwu chuckled creepily. "Flood dragon meat soup... that sounds pretty good... And deer meat... it's most suitable for young newlyweds... Hehehehe..."
