The people around were still worried that Sidu might burn herself, so they wouldn't let her hold the food herself. But when they took it from her, it wasn't hot anymore.
Then they handed it to Sidu.
Sidu happily began eating the lettuce-wrapped meat.
"You guys should try this too; it's really delicious, not greasy at all. I feel like I could eat two pieces of grilled meat tonight," Sidu said joyfully.
The lettuce she picked was from the field, which had rich spiritual energy, so the plants grew really well and were more nutritious.
The lettuce was crisp and even a little sweet, which she really liked.
Wrapped around the meat, it was not greasy at all, and the taste was refreshing—it was really delicious.
She ate happily.
Seeing how much she enjoyed it, the others started wrapping their own.
Bai Di wrapped some meat in lettuce, and after taking a bite, his eyes lit up—it was indeed really good.
The lettuce was crispy and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness, and when paired with the meat, it was a perfect match!
Hei Yao and Cheng Mo, who were watching, also wrapped some meat and took a bite. The taste was indeed unique.
However, Hei Yao felt it wasn't particularly delicious, nor was it bad—it was just okay!
After all, as a meat-eating beastman, he naturally preferred pure meat, but he was willing to eat this grass-wrapped meat with the little female. Yeah, for him, it was just "grass-wrapped meat."
Cheng Mo, on the other hand, was used to eating plants and meat, so this new way of eating immediately appealed to him.
The big tiger, after taking a bite, couldn't help but frown. Could this even be eaten?
As a purely meat-eating beastman, he didn't like the lettuce that tasted like grass.
Wrapped around the meat, he wasn't sure if he was eating meat or grass.
Anyway, he didn't like it.
But seeing everyone eating so happily, he silently finished his own grass-wrapped meat without saying a word.
He figured that if he expressed his true thoughts, the little female would be upset, so he held it in and didn't speak.
Anyway, he wasn't having a second one.
Sidu continued eating happily, finishing several pieces of grilled meat until she felt a bit full, then put the rest aside.
She then summoned several large buckets filled with spiritual spring water, which smelled faintly fragrant.
"Alright, after you finish eating, make sure to drink some of this water. Of course, let me know when you're done, and I'll refill it for you."
"Before, Song Zhan and Cheng Mo really benefited a lot from drinking this water, and I also gained strength from it. You guys should try it too, especially Ah Di and Ah Yao; just drink it freely; I have plenty of this water."
"If you run out, I'll refill it for you." Sidu looked at Bai Di and Hei Yao.
"Of course, Ah Mo and Ah Zhan, you can continue drinking if you want."
They were about to head to the border sea, so it was only safer if their strength increased.
"Alright," Bai Di said, then transformed into a snow-white fox, its two tails swaying behind him. It was really adorable.
Sidu couldn't resist and walked over to pet the fox's head. Its fur was soft and fluffy, and it felt so nice to touch.
The big tiger beside them pouted a little in displeasure.
In the past, Sidu always liked to hug him and pet him, but now with the fox around…
He felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
"Let them drink first. We've had enough before. Even if we drink more, it probably won't increase our cultivation anymore. It will just strengthen our bodies," Cheng Mo said.
Right!
Drinking too much of something valuable would create resistance.
Anything precious, if over-consumed, would lose its effectiveness.
"It's fine; strengthening your bodies is also good. After they finish drinking, I'll prepare more for you," Sidu said with a smile.
"Mm, I like drinking it. I still want to drink more later," Song Zhan said.
"Okay, drink as much as you like," Sidu smiled.
"Alright, drink up!" Sidu stepped back, no longer petting Bai Di.
Hei Yao didn't transform into a beastman. He glanced at Sidu, nodded, and then picked up the big bucket to drink.
Bai Di didn't fall behind either and started drinking.
After taking a sip, their eyes lit up.
They both felt a warm current flow down their throats into their bodies. The feeling was truly pleasant.
The next moment, they both started drinking faster. Hei Yao was quicker and soon finished one bucket, then grabbed another wooden bucket filled with the spring water and started drinking again.
Sidu quickly refilled the bucket when he finished.
Bai Di also finished his bucket and grabbed another.
Sidu refilled the bucket Bai Di had finished.
She took out four buckets, and both Bai Di and Hei Yao took turns drinking from them.
They were drinking enthusiastically.
Sidu was really curious.
How come after drinking so much of the spring water, their stomachs didn't bulge?
When she, Cheng Mo, and Song Zhan drank, their bellies would have been swollen.
So…
Maybe, after the water entered their bodies, it immediately transformed into that warm current, flowing into all the meridians and cells.
It was the only explanation Sidu could come up with.
Anyway, seeing them drink so frantically reminded her of the time when she, Cheng Mo, and Song Zhan drank the water…
Hei Yao was finishing his 13th bucket, and Bai Di was almost done with his 9th.
They seemed like they still wanted more.
Sidu was refilling their buckets quickly, worried she couldn't keep up with them.
Her arms were starting to feel sore.
Cheng Mo, being considerate, walked over and let Sidu lean against him, offering her some comfort.
The big tiger, feeling like he missed an opportunity, thought to himself, If only I had reacted earlier, I could have had Sidu lean on me more. Now, it was too late.
He even wondered if he was really that dumb, so slow to realize.
Impossible!
Sidu never said anything bad about him.
But…
He also felt like maybe he was… a little slow?
It wasn't that he wasn't smart; they were just too crafty!
