As they approached the cave, they smelled the aroma of meat.
"It must be Song Zhan cooking," Si Lu gently patted Cheng Mo's back. The next second, Cheng Mo transformed into his human form, striding toward the cave while holding Si Lu in his arms.
"Aiya, I can walk by myself; you don't need to carry me," Si Lu said, feeling a little embarrassed.
This guy, isn't he tired? He's been busy all afternoon, dragging her along, and now he's carrying her again. He really seems to have endless energy!
"It's fine; I just like carrying you," Cheng Mo said, walking with her in a princess carry. He really enjoyed it.
"You're back. I've finished cooking. Come and eat," Song Zhan smiled as he saw the two return.
Heaven knows, ever since the little female mentioned the idea of bonding tonight, he had been floating all day. No matter what he did, the image of her smile kept appearing before him.
He really felt like he was dreaming.
At the same time, he prepared food for the little female. Typically, male beasts only eat once a day since they can eat enough in one meal to fill them up, even with a hundred-pound prey.
Of course, no matter how much they eat outside, they always accompany their beloved females for another meal. After all, it's only during this time that they can feel warmth.
"Wow, you're such a perfect housewife, Ah Zhan!" Si Lu said happily.
She could already smell the meat.
She was getting hungry too.
And to be honest, she was quite hungry.
"Look at you, you glutton. Come on, let's go," Cheng Mo teased, looking at the person in his arms affectionately.
When they arrived by the fire, Cheng Mo finally set her down. The two sat by the fire as Song Zhan handed them the roasted meat.
"It smells so good," Si Lu said happily as she ate. Of course, she also enjoyed being fed by Ah Zhan.
Cheng Mo sat quietly beside her, watching her eat. Watching her eat was a form of enjoyment for him.
He loved just sitting there quietly, looking at Si Lu.
"Mm, you eat first," Cheng Mo said with a smile.
Male beasts could eat anything. As long as they didn't starve, it was fine.
Besides, he had already eaten earlier today and wasn't hungry now.
If he was really going to eat, he would wait until the little female was full. Only then would they eat whatever was left.
After all, making sure their beloved was well-fed was the most important thing.
"That was delicious! Burp, Si Lu said after eating her fill, then burped, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Glad you're full. Your appetite has grown a bit, but still, compared to other females, you don't eat much. Other females can eat dozens of pounds of meat, but you've barely had a few bites before getting full," Cheng Mo said, feeling a bit troubled.
In their eyes, being able to eat and sleep well was a sign of good health and longevity.
So, he was always trying to find ways to get Si Lu to eat more, even if it was just one more bite.
"I've never eaten much to begin with. Ever since coming here, I've been eating more. Don't worry about me; my appetite is perfectly normal. I'm very healthy, and my body is in great shape," Si Lu said, clenching her fists and swinging them around to show her strength.
Her expression was fiercely adorable.
It was hard to describe how cute she looked.
Both Song Zhan and Cheng Mo were stunned for a moment, and the next second, they burst into laughter.
This little female was as cute as a little cub.
"Haha~"
"Look at me, aren't I strong?" Si Lu said, tilting her chin up proudly.
"You two eat; I'm really full," Si Lu said again.
"Alright, we'll eat," Cheng Mo and Song Zhan finished off the remaining roasted meat and meat soup. Of course, they always ate everything on the same day, not leaving anything for the next day, or it would spoil.
Si Lu watched them eat the food she couldn't finish, feeling warm inside.
They didn't mind eating her leftovers.
Especially when there was one skewer of roasted meat that she had taken a bite of but couldn't finish, Cheng Mo ate it.
And Song Zhan drank the meat soup she couldn't finish.
This indirect kiss made her feel a bit shy.
Oh, right, her farm.
As soon as the thought came to her, her spirit entered her farm. However, the plants she had previously thrown in were gone, and new vegetation had appeared, all of which she recognized.
There were even ripe apples and pears, all of them large and beautiful.
Could it be that this soil was especially fertile?
She never expected the space to work this way.
The plants outside were absorbed into the farm, and in return, plants she recognized grew. But she wasn't sure if it was absorbing the outside plants' life force to grow them or something else.
No matter; it was good news either way.
[Host, you're partially correct. The space farm requires energy and life force to grow. The plants that grow are controlled by the system to be ones the host recognizes.
The system's voice rang out, clarifying things for Si Lu.
Anyway, it was still a good thing.
She raised her hands, and two big, red apples appeared, looking especially beautiful.
Cheng Mo and Song Zhan were stunned, their eyes full of surprise.
What kind of fruit was this? It didn't look like anything they had ever seen before.
The bright red fruit looked beautiful.
"Try them. We did find something useful on our trip this afternoon," Si Lu smiled, handing each of them an apple.
"Well, I won't be polite then. Let's see how it tastes. This fruit looks much prettier than the wild fruits I know," Cheng Mo said.
He looked at the fruit in his hand and felt happy.
This was something the little female gave him.
"I've never seen it before either. It smells sweet," Song Zhan added, examining the fruit, which looked very peculiar.
"You guys give it a try. This is a fruit from my hometown. There's plenty more where that came from. You can try them all and see which one you like best," Si Lu said.
"Alright." Cheng Mo took a bite, and the fruit was sweet and crisp, tasting wonderful.
It was crunchy and sweet, really delightful! The first bite was enough to make his eyes light up.
"This is great. What's it called?" Cheng Mo asked curiously.
"Apple. Big and red, and it symbolizes peace," Si Lu smiled.
"Ah Zhan, you try it too. I have plenty more," Si Lu said with a smile.
"Mhm," Song Zhan took a bite, and the juice from the apple immediately filled his mouth. His handsome face lit up with surprise.
It was delicious! Crisp and refreshing, very nice! This fruit was really something special.
"It's very good," Song Zhan said with a smile.
"Hehe, of course. This is an apple from my hometown. I also have pears; give them a try," Si Lu said, taking out two more pears and handing them to the two of them, smiling as she watched.
Under Si Lu's watchful gaze, Cheng Mo and Song Zhan each took a bite and were once again pleasantly surprised.
"This is a bit more sour than the apple, but it's juicier. Also very nice," Cheng Mo commented.
