After picking the blue berries, Hu Qing led her to a place where clusters of pretty little round berries grew.

"This is it. Females like to wear it in bunches, but you can't break it, because the juice inside will sting if it gets on your skin."

Ye examined the colorful fruits, smelling the faint, pungent aroma in the air: "Are they poisonous?"

"No, if the juice gets on your body, just wash it off a few times with water."

"Do I mean it's poisonous if you eat it?"

"Eat?" Hu Qing almost couldn't keep up with her jumping thoughts: "No, it's not poisonous, it just hurts your tongue and throat for a while, but drinking more water will make it better."

Ye reached out and picked a red fruit about the size of her thumb. She squeezed it, but the fruit didn't change at all. She squeezed it with both hands, and the fruit flattened a little, but the skin still didn't break. She took out a small knife from her space and used some force to cut open the skin of the fruit, getting some juice on it.

"Cough cough cough." This body was not familiar with this spicy taste, and the slight spiciness on the tip of the tongue caused it to cough repeatedly.

"Hey, Ye, let's go get some water." Hu Qing watched her series of actions with wide eyes. Normally, drinking a little juice wouldn't be a problem, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so strong. He couldn't leave the female here and go find water himself, so he had no choice but to take the female to the river.

Ye, who had already been picked up, said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just choked a little. We think we've found something good."

Chili peppers not only enhance the flavor of food, but also help to dispel dampness and cold.

"What? This doesn't taste good. If you want to eat fruit, I know some that taste better. Let's go pick some."

"Wait a minute, let me try this first." Ye didn't rule out the possibility, as she didn't know if chili peppers in this world could still be used as a condiment.

The green and yellow ones taste like green peppers.

The purple and orange ones taste like wasabi.

The red series has the flavor of bird's eye chili.

On one plant, fruits with different flavors have grown. How amazing! The most amazing thing is that its leaves are actually a bit salty. If you use them to stir-fry vegetables, you probably won't need to add any salt.

"Help me pull it out." Ye not only wanted the fruit, but also some plants, which would be useful whether planted in her living area or taken to other worlds.

Although Hu Qing still felt it was inedible, he pulled it off because his female wanted to. It didn't take much effort anyway, and he could just throw it out after she was done playing with it.

After pulling up dozens of plants, she stopped. That was enough. She would wait until the fruit dried up before saving some seeds.

That evening, while grilling meat at the entrance of Hu Qing's original cave, she personally marinated the sliced ​​meat with salt, chili sauce, and a rather sour fruit. She then had Hu Qing make a flat, thin stone slab with his claws, heat it up, and first put the fatty meat on it to render the oil before placing the marinated meat slices on it.

"Let me do it." The falcon hunter, who had already transformed into human form, took over the task of grilling the meat. After following her around for a few days, he had become proficient in using chopsticks and had also learned how to stir-fry meat on this unique stone slab.

The meat slices were cut very thin and cooked quickly. When Ye Xiang wanted to eat first, Hu Qing stopped him, saying, "I'll eat first. I'm male, so I'm stronger than females and recover faster. If you can't eat the meat cooked from this fruit, then you shouldn't eat it."

Ye knew that he wanted to help him "test the poison", so he simply accepted his kindness and handed over the roasted meat that he had already picked up. Hu Qing pinched the meat slice with his hand, took a deep breath, and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm, hiss," chewing, "um, it seems, cough cough, a bit delicious, cough cough, and very tender."

Eagle Hunter silently handed over a stone bowl filled with water, then picked up a piece of meat and ate it himself. His reaction was much calmer than Tiger Green's; he only hissed twice without coughing. After finishing a piece of meat, he picked up another stone bowl and gave all the roasted meat slices to Ye, then he started roasting the second batch.

Ye carefully savored her first spicy barbecue in this world, holding the stone bowl. Her body wasn't quite used to the spiciness yet, so she took a bite of barbecue and a sip of water.

Hu Qing has already started marinating a pot of meat slices, just like she does.

"Take another large stone bowl, put less chili in one and more chili in the other, because we can both handle spicy food," Ye instructed.

"chili?"

"It's that little red round fruit, that's the name I came up with on the spot." Ye was so happy while eating that she blurted out the old name.

"Oh." Hu Qing had no objection. She was the one who discovered that the fruit was edible, so it was normal for her to give it a name.

"Use the red one."

"Okay, don't the other colors taste good?"

"I don't like other flavors, but I think it's edible. It depends on personal taste." Ye doesn't like the taste of wasabi, nor does she particularly like the taste of green peppers.

"Then I'll try them all." Hu Qing brought out the heavy stone bowls from the cave and marinated a bowl of meat slices for each color separately.

After Ye finished eating, she sat to the side and watched the two orcs eat. Today, in order to test the taste of chili peppers, she specifically suggested that the meat be grilled at the entrance of the cave, rather than at the place where the tiger clan gathered to grill meat, because she was worried that the spiciness would be too strong and would choke the tiger clan orcs.

"Ye, why do I feel hot? It's not the heat from sitting by a fire; it's starting from inside my stomach."

"Spicy things will make your body feel warm. Consider this a message for you. Go tell your shaman, but this stuff is quite stimulating, so those who are weak or have just given birth should be careful." Ye said generously in a good mood. There are many benefits to being on good terms with a top hunting tribe. As for how the tribe preserves those round chili peppers until the cold season, that's their business.

"Ye is so nice." Hu Qing nuzzled her with his two tiger ears, stood up and ran away quickly, his back view revealing a hint of joy.

Ye watched his retreating figure, then turned to Eagle Hunter and said, "Are you going back to the Eagle Clan tribe? This news can also be given to you."

She was very fair and equal to both of them, showing no romantic feelings whatsoever, treating them both equally.

Eagle Hunter approached her, spreading his wings to shield her from the chilly night wind, and shook his head: "Let's talk about it another time when we pass through the Eagle Clan tribe. I'm not comfortable with Tiger Green protecting you alone."

He was different from Hu Qing. Hu Qing had experienced a lot of warmth in the tribe, but he only experienced years of indifference and neglect in the Eagle Tribe. He did not have deep feelings for the Eagle Tribe.

Ye expressed his understanding, saying that everyone's circumstances, personality, and thoughts are different.

She was thinking about something else entirely. The "crippled" Tiger Green had deep feelings for the tribe. Apart from not being able to form a bond, he lived a fairly good life in the tribe. There was definitely a Tiger Clan shaman protecting him. Would that junior he was protecting suddenly be given to a female of unknown origin? Tiger Green didn't even object, as if he was certain that the shaman wouldn't harm him.

So, what message did the totem spirit they worshipped give them regarding their otherworldly souls?
