Crazy! Jiaojiao is loved by everyone in the beast world

Chapter 116: Hermione asks for a partner?

After intense preparations, the City of Hessen prepared a lot of supplies to survive the cold wave.

Eling also successfully made an earthen oven. Part of the prey that the warriors hunted was put into the oven and roasted into jerky, and part of it was made into pickled meat under Eling's guidance and stored in mud-sealed pottery jars. Those pottery jars were made by Eling herself in order to better preserve the pickled meat. Although they were ugly, they were practical.

Of course, dried meat alone was not enough. According to Eling's idea, Helmer had a large pond dug in the back mountain. He caught some fish and animals and put them in the pond. The fishing soldiers also brought back some wild animals and insect-like creatures. These things were not edible by default. Helmer wanted to ask people to feed them to the birds, but was stopped by Eling.

She told him that those wild animals were called crabs, and they were the fattest in this season, and that those insect-like things with soft shells were called prawns, and they were best tasted when blanched. Although Helmer didn't understand a word she said, he saw that she seemed to like them very much, so he kept them all according to her wishes.

The orcs who went out to dig potatoes also had some results. They brought back several baskets of strange-shaped fruits and vegetables. Two baskets were shaped like large pebbles. The shapes did look like potatoes, but the color was not right. The skin was blue-gray, and when cut open it was light yellow. Eling steamed two of them and found that the taste was exactly the same as potatoes. There was nothing unusual about eating them, so she kept all these green potatoes.

In addition to potatoes, she also found some purple sweet potatoes and yams, which were good things that could be stored for a long time. She asked the evil beast to make two more trips and dig up dozens of bags, which she piled up in the newly dug cellar for storage.

During this period, Mo Lin came back once and brought her some hard-to-find prey and fruits nearby. He carefully handled all the prey and gave them to E Ling as her personal winter supplies. He also specifically instructed E Ling to stay in the space so that the prey would not deteriorate and she could eat fresh meat at any time.

But although he said he was coming back, E Ling did not see him. Mo Lin placed the prey at the entrance of the Black Forest City and asked Xuan Ming to come out and get it.

After being separated for a while, Mo Lin missed E Ling very much, but he didn't dare to see her, for fear that she would not be willing to leave after seeing her.

But the cold season was approaching, and Mo Lin didn't have much time to be affectionate with her. Moreover, he had been feeling very sleepy recently and had to go to hibernation immediately.

Although E Ling was disappointed that she couldn't see Mo Lin, she could only understand him. With deep longing, she counted the days and looked forward to the arrival of the warm season.

Soon, the cold season arrived.

This year's cold season did come earlier than last year, and the temperature dropped drastically. The sun was shining brightly the day before, but the next day the grass and trees were covered with a layer of frost. The howling north wind hurt people's faces.

Fortunately, the city of Hessen was well prepared and had already distributed dried meat, pickled meat and salt to the females to help them get through the cold season. In view of the weaker physical constitution of females in the cold season, Helmer also asked the doctors to prepare windproof and cold-resistant soups and medicines early in the morning, which were distributed to the females every day to reduce the mortality rate of females.

Not only that, E Ling also mobilized several clever evil beasts to make potato vermicelli with the potatoes they had dug before. Taking advantage of the arrival of the cold season and the weather not being very cold, E Ling gathered all the females in the city and taught them how to eat these potato vermicelli.

E Ling's cooking skills are very good. All the females who have eaten boiled vermicelli praise it highly, and even some females who rely on meat as their main source of food like it very much.

In the end, each female was given a large bundle of vermicelli, which provided them with an additional source of staple food during the cold season.

The big fish that was caught earlier was not left behind. E Ling made the fish meat into fish balls or fish cakes, and ate them with potato flour. They were so delicious.

But not all females appreciated her kindness. There were always some indignant females who thought that E Ling was a bad female who colluded with the evil beasts. Not only did they not support her, they also talked behind her back. But E Ling was too lazy to bother with them.

Most of these females have suffered injustice and torture after arriving in the Black Forest City, so it is normal for them to feel resentful.

E Ling is not a savior. Although she sympathizes with these females, she cannot destroy the interests of the entire Black Forest City's evil beasts in order to save these poor females.

And to a certain extent, wasn't she also a female who was abducted and trapped here? It was just that she was a little luckier and met Xuanming who was kind to her, so her life was not so difficult.

As for the grievances of other females, they were not caused by her alone, so she didn't need to care too much. Helping these females with food and treatment was the best she could do.

Not long after, the cold wave came, the temperature dropped even more sharply, frost and snow fell heavily, and every blade of grass and tree in the Heisen City was embellished into a silver-white world.

It snowed heavily for several days. The thick snow was as deep as waist, making it difficult to walk.

The wind and snow were freezing, so E Ling rarely went out. Moreover, Xuan Ming had been weak since the beginning of the cold season. He even fell ill during the days when the temperature dropped the most. E Ling stayed in the palace and took care of Xuan Ming without taking off her clothes.

Fortunately, with her careful care, as the cold wave gradually passed and the temperature rose slightly, Xuanming's health also improved.

Perhaps it was the power of the spirit stone that she absorbed before that made E Ling's physique much better. Her body was fine this winter. What's more, she had collected a lot of beast crystals before. E Ling absorbed all of them and has advanced to a level 4 female. Her physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary females.

The long and boring winter season passed day by day. I don’t know when it started, the ice and snow began to melt slowly, and the old trees in the forest slowly sprouted new buds.

The cold season seems to be coming to an end, and the Hessian City begins to prepare for a grand bonfire party to celebrate the arrival of the warm season.

E Ling, who had been bored for a whole winter, wanted to show off her skills and have a good time at the party, so she offered to help them prepare for the party, but the evil beasts looked at her strangely.

"Beautiful female, please put it down. You are of noble status and cannot do such rough work anymore." An evil beast snatched the thing from her hand.

"Why are you still calling her a beautiful female? Isn't it time to change your words?" said another evil beast.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I should call you Queen!"

E Ling: "??? What are you talking about? Xuan Ming and I have been together for a long time, and you haven't changed your mind yet."

Seeing that the puzzled expression on her face did not seem fake, the evil beast said, "The king plans to woo you at the bonfire party. Don't you know about this?"

"Hermei? !! Courting me?!" Eling's voice changed and her face looked as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Yes, many brothers in the city know about it. We all see the king's feelings for you, and we thought you also knew the king's feelings a long time ago..."

The evil beast was originally speaking with great interest, but it was noticeable that something was not right with E Ling's expression, and its voice gradually weakened.

Damn it, how could she forget about Helmer!

When she was doing the beast crystal mission before, Helmai's attitude towards her was very strange, and he even wanted to give her the beast crystal. She felt something was wrong and insisted on refusing. Helmai did not force her to accept it. Later, because he was too busy with the affairs in the city, Helmai could not take care of her.

When the winter came, Eling never went out of the house, and Helmer seemed to be busy with something and was not in the city for a long time. Therefore, the two of them didn't see each other many times during this winter season, so Eling gradually forgot about Helmer's abnormality.

Then, when the winter was over, what did she hear? Helmer was going to ask her out?!

What kind of interstellar joke is this?!

She and Helmer are not compatible at all! What on earth made him fall for her?

No, she wants to ask Helmer for clarification!
