over all the roasted meat on the iron plate from left to right, and sure enough, two slices already had edges that had turned black.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou haven\u2019t brushed on the sauce yet,\u201d Ali reminded lazily.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang picked up a small brush and turned to look at the five or six kinds of sauces he had just brought over. He had no idea how Chen Qi managed to come up with so many different flavors\u2014salty, sweet, sour, spicy\u2014enough to satisfy everyone\u2019s tastes. After hesitating for a bit, Azhang asked, \u201cWhat flavor do you want today?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali rested his chin in his hand, tilting his head thoughtfully, as though facing a tough decision. Finally, he said tentatively, \u201cI want to try all of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThen I\u2019ll make one with each for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlright.\u201d Ali smiled as he watched Azhang carefully brush sauce over each piece of meat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, most of what Azhang grilled turned out either burnt and tough or unevenly seasoned\u2014too strong or too bland\u2014but Ali still ate every bit of it without leaving a crumb.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajing sat on a short wooden stool in the corner, holding a wooden plate filled with food that Chen Qi had grilled for him\u2014some meat, some vegetables\u2014all giving off an appetizing aroma. Yet he didn\u2019t start eating right away. Instead, he sat quietly, as if waiting for something.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beside him, on another short stool, sat a second wooden plate, also full of food. There was more meat than vegetables, and the grilled fish had been carefully deboned. Though the plating wasn\u2019t exactly neat, it was clear that whoever prepared it had put some thought and care into it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few minutes later, the little wolf cub trotted through the crowd, a wooden food box clamped in its mouth. Ajing set down his plate, smoothly took the box, and opened the lid\u2014inside were two steaming baked sweet potatoes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou want to eat this first?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awoo.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Only then did he pick up his own plate and begin eating.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little wolf cub tilted its head, took a few steps forward, and tugged at Ajing\u2019s trouser leg. Ajing looked up, questioning it with his eyes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little wolf cub glanced at the sweet potatoes in front of it, then back at Ajing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajing bent down, moved one peeled sweet potato onto his own plate. The cub blinked, gave a soft \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">awoo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d and finally began to eat, occasionally looking up at Ajing between bites. Its ears twitched, alert to the sounds around them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAke, bring Ayao over,\u201d Ka Luo called out to Ake from afar as he prepared food for the little one.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ayao wasn\u2019t even a year old yet, so he couldn\u2019t eat grilled food. Ka Luo had to make porridge for him by adding mashed meat and finely chopped vegetables to rice berries. Chen Qi\u2019s cake, however, was fine\u2014Ayao loved it. After finishing a big piece and filling his little belly, he ran wildly around the courtyard. At first, Ka Luo worried he might fall or bump into something and chased after him closely. But the boy was too full of energy and darted around so fast that Ka Luo couldn\u2019t keep up. In the end, he could only hand Ayao over to Ake and hurry off to prepare food for the two of them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ake was holding Ayao in place by the collar on the back of his clothes with just one finger, letting the little one flail and bounce without actually going anywhere. Ayao\u2019s big eyes began to glisten with unshed tears.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His gaze darted around until it landed on a familiar sight nearby\u2014a person and a wolf quietly eating together. His eyes lit up, and he waved his little arms excitedly, calling out in a soft, sticky voice, \u201cWolf wolf! Wolf wolf! Jing Jing!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little wolf cub perked up at the sound of Ayao\u2019s voice, bared its teeth in his direction, and Ayao froze mid-movement. The tears that had threatened earlier welled up for real this time, and his lips trembled. When the little wolf cub saw that he had stopped calling their names, it happily lowered its head again to continue eating.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing Ka Luo\u2019s call, Ake turned Ayao\u2019s face toward him by the collar. Seeing the moisture gathering in the boy\u2019s eyes, he frowned, raised his hand, and gave Ayao\u2019s forehead a light flick. With a serious face, he said, \u201cYou\u2019re a female\u2014how can you cry so easily?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Startled by Ake\u2019s stern look, Ayao\u2019s small body trembled, and he dared not make a sound. But the moment Ake let him go, he burst into tears and ran toward Ka Luo, crying \u201cFather! Father!\u201d as if a whole pack of hyena-drakes were chasing him from behind.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ake could only watch, dark lines of exasperation forming on his forehead, as his son darted nimbly through the crowd and dove straight into Ka Luo\u2019s arms. He turned back to glare at the little wolf cub, while Ajing stuck out his tongue at Ake apologetically, then tapped the cub lightly on the head in token punishment. As a result, this time it was the little wolf cub\u2019s turn to droop his ears, his tail hung low in grievance, and he refused to eat, lying pitifully on the ground. In the end, Ajing had to feed him spoon by spoon before the little guy finally perked up again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After returning to his partner\u2019s side, Ake rolled up his sleeves and took the things from Ka Luo\u2019s hands. \u201cI\u2019ll take care of the rest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

But after tasting Ake\u2019s cooking once, Ka Luo had firmly forbidden him from touching food again\u2014he simply couldn\u2019t bear to see a dish that could have been delicious suddenly drop two or three grades.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scratching his head awkwardly, Ake took his son and stood quietly to one side, waiting for his mate to finish and feed them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the females in Qi Ze City still only knew how to roast meat. Without families or mates, they usually ate alone, hastily settling their meals without bothering to explore more complex cooking methods.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the newly arrived beastmen, most of them had likely eaten nothing but bitter-tasting roasted meat before coming here. It was only after joining Qi Ze City that they realized how many different flavors could be made from the same ingredients. Since they no longer needed to go hunting, they spent much of their time learning new skills from the older females\u2014cooking being one of them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that moment, the newcomers watched the Qi Ze City females burning meat to a crisp, and it was unclear who lost patience first. One of them rushed forward to help, then others followed suit. By the time Chen Qi and Aze returned from the cellar carrying the jars of wine that had been aging for months, the courtyard was already lively and noisy, filled with beastmen gathered in small groups eating together.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now and then, a male would be surrounded by a group of females eagerly learning how to grill meat on an iron plate. The moment the meat hit the hot metal, it sizzled loudly, and when he brushed it with sauce, the rich aroma spread all around. Those watching couldn\u2019t help but swallow hungrily, eyes fixed on his every move, just waiting for a piece to be cooked so they could have a bite.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi opened the seals of two wine jars and placed them on the table. Ahxu, who couldn\u2019t handle more than one cup, didn\u2019t like drinking anyway. After finishing his meal, he packed a bamboo flask of wine and several boxes of grilled food and went to deliver supper to the guards on night duty at the watchtower by the city gate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing Ahxu would be staying on the wall and not come back, Aze gave him the two pieces of cake he had specially set aside earlier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ahxu smiled and patted Aze on the shoulder. \u201cHappy birthday.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other beastmen who enjoyed drinking didn\u2019t stand on ceremony\u2014Ale was the first to run over and pour a cup of wine for Ye Huo.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Chen Qi sat at the wooden table beneath the fig tree, while Aze came over carrying two large steaming dishes. Chen Qi accepted them with a smile. \u201cWhere did you get these? You came back so quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cKa Luo made them. Try it.\u201d Aze had originally planned to stop by Ali\u2019s place, but upon seeing Azhang at the stove, he immediately turned back instead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou took Ka Luo\u2019s food? Ake didn\u2019t catch you and start a fight?\u201d Chen Qi handed Aze a clean pair of chopsticks, teasingly shifting to make space for him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe can\u2019t beat me.\u201d Aze paused, then added, \u201cBesides, Ka Luo gave it to me on his own initiative.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He and Ake had fought countless times since they were young. In the beginning, their matches were even, but somewhere along the line, Ake stopped winning altogether. Though it had been years since their last fight, Aze still couldn\u2019t allow himself to lose\u2014especially in front of his mate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing the faintly smug expression between Aze\u2019s brows, Chen Qi couldn\u2019t help but laugh helplessly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Chen Qi had prepared a great deal of food, it was all gone within two hours. Everyone was in high spirits, and even after the meal, no one wanted to leave so soon. They gathered to chat, but the beastmen\u2019s lives were so monotonous that there was little new to talk about\u2014aside from the recent dragon attacks, which the whole tribe already knew about, so there was really nothing much else to say.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Chen Qi began to tell them the story of the Three Kingdoms. The tale stretched long, from the rise of young heroes to the time when three powers stood in balance. He was still speaking when something cold and damp fell onto his nose, and he paused.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that Chen Qi had stopped, Ka Luo couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cChen Qi, why aren\u2019t you continuing? What happened next?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi didn\u2019t answer. He lifted his head, watching another glimmering flake fall onto his face, and murmured, \u201cWinter has come.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone snapped out of the story and looked up. At the stroke of midnight, snow began to fall right on cue.
