Jiang Xue looked at the wolves lying scattered on the ground, thinking that these furs and meat shouldn’t go to waste. The furs could be tanned for warmth, and the meat could be processed into Poison Meat Powder, which could then be used to feed more dangerous animals, like the snakes she was raising.

After fighting all night, Shui Yixuan was visibly exhausted. Seeing his condition, Jiang Xue said.

"You should go rest in the shed, I’ll prepare today’s lunch. Wolf meat is edible, but we need to take detoxification medicine first. I can handle it, you haven’t slept all night, go rest."

However, his entire body was sticky and soaked, stained with lots of animal blood, which was definitely a challenge for a neat freak. He thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but not long after he lay down, his consciousness began to blur. To ensure he slept well and wouldn’t be disturbed while she processed the animal carcasses, she quietly sprinkled some sedatives around him, enough for him to sleep until nightfall.

As Shui Yixuan’s consciousness began to fade, Jiang Xue took the dagger he had given her and started skinning the wolves, pulling out their tendons, gutting them. She toiled until the sun was about to set before finishing the tasks. Then she used a watering can to rinse the meat clean, leaving enough to eat and stored the rest in space.

Finally, she dug a large pit in the ground, which was especially soft and sticky from a landslide. After the pit was dug, she buried the bones and internal organs deep in it.

After everything was cleaned up, she then sat down to start a fire and grill meat. As the meat was almost done, Shui Yixuan gradually woke up. Sitting across from him, Jiang Xue handed him a grilled wolf leg, "Here, try my cooking skills. This is wolf leg, I’ve sprinkled detoxifying medicine on it, it’s safe to eat directly."

He scanned the area, surprised not to see the wolves. Jiang Xue calmly explained.

"I buried them, keeping them would be a disaster. I dug a large pit, burned them for a while, and buried them right there. Only saved this one."

He felt a bit embarrassed, "I can’t believe I slept so long, why didn’t you wake me? It’s so hard for you to do it all by yourself."

"It’s fine, I didn’t feel tired. How’s your strength recovery?"

Shui Yixuan nodded, "I’m fine now, you eat and then sleep, your attack with poison bees is really powerful."

"We’ve grown up being bitten by venomous snakes and stung by bees. Just the few of us, now we’re practically immune to snake venom and bee venom. We have antibodies, common poisons no longer affect us because we’ve been exposed to them too many times and made it through. Even though none of us practice martial arts or Qinggong, we all have the ability to protect ourselves. It wasn’t for nothing when I took them home to be long-term workers, they’ve never disappointed me!"

"You look so young, but you’re remarkable, how did you achieve this?"

Jiang Xue smiled, "I’ve told you before, didn’t I? After being seriously ill, I woke up with lots of memories I never had before, as if I was born to know these skills. I’m the type to pick up things naturally. However, since I lack Qinggong and Inner Strength cultivation methods, I can’t do those. I’m telling the truth, don’t doubt me, though it’s normal if you do since this kind of weird situation is indeed hard to believe!"

Though he was skeptical before, now he couldn’t help but believe her, "I believe you."

Jiang Xue gave an awkward smile, while he extended his long arms and made an inviting gesture.

"Come on, if you’re not too picky, you can keep lying here. This smell, my nose has stopped functioning."

Jiang Xue pouted, "It’s like I’m not smelling either."

Without reservation, Jiang Xue lay back on his legs. Whether because she was full, as soon as she lay down she completely relaxed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

That night, with Shui Yixuan energized keeping watch, no danger occurred, perhaps the bloody atmosphere from the day scared away the nearby animals.

As dawn approached, Shui Yixuan held Jiang Xue, the two leaned together in the shed and fell asleep.

Jiang Xue woke before Shui Yixuan, initially she was lying on his legs, but ended up being enveloped by his long arms, nestled in his embrace. This posture seemed like only husband and wife sharing a bed would have. Her face uncontrollably blushed, and she tried to move a little, but he held her tighter. Eventually, she gave up struggling and simply closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

Little did she know, the man above her head had already awoken when her breathing became uneven, too reluctant to let go of this position. So the two awkwardly held each other until the sun rose, and Jiang Xue was awakened by Shui Yixuan after sleeping another round.
