Qiao Mo shook her head. She had yet to figure out how to explain her origins. Furthermore, she was a little afraid of these wild beasts from the wolf tribe. She was worried that if they found out that she was a human, they would…
Looking at the roasting antelope over the fire, Qiao Mo smiled unnaturally.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak much about it, Harry did not press further.
Qiao Mo ate another slice of potato. “This thing is very easy to grow. Oh right, it’s clearly winter now, so why are there fresh wild fruits in the forest?”
Harry looked at Qiao Mo in confusion. “Why can’t there be wild fruits in winter? But there are indeed fewer wild fruits in winter. Only the fruit trees in the depths of the forest would have fruits. They are all guarded by the nearby tribes.”
Qiao Mo was surprised. “You fought with the tribes near the fruit trees to pick fruits for me?”
Harry bit off a piece of venison without a care. “For my female’s sake, this injury is nothing. Even if you want the most precious golden fruit in the Beast God City, I will bring it over for you!”
Qiao Mo suddenly felt a little touched. Although the reason she had agreed to stay behind was mainly to recuperate and because she was afraid of the wolf tribe, Harry’s meticulous care truly warmed her heart.
This man seemed like he would satisfy all of her requests.
“What’s a golden fruit?” Qiao Mo asked curiously.
Harry explained, “It’s a kind of food. They are small, plump, golden, and very sweet. After eating a few, you won’t be hungry for an entire day.”
“That’s something that only the nobles of the Beast God City can enjoy. With it, one can avoid hunger and fatigue from not being able to hunt any prey. It’s a pity that only the royal family can plant it.”
Qiao Mo thought curiously. He couldn’t be describing corn, could he? She had a few fruit corns in her bag that were sweet and delicious. If this thing really was what they called the golden fruit, then only the royal family could grow them. Qiao Mo suddenly felt a little hesitant and wondered if she should take them out.
Harry’s gaze was firm. “I will definitely let you taste the freshest golden fruit.”
He stared at the sweet potato and added, “But I think your sweet potato is even more delicious than the golden fruit. I just don’t know if it’s as amazing as the golden fruit.”
Qiao Mo laughed dryly and shared half the sweet potato with Harry.
Qiao Mo realized that Harry could really eat a lot. He actually finished the entire antelope in one meal. She was already extremely full after eating half of its leg. Harry had finished the rest for her.
Recalling Harry’s massive body after his transformation, this appetite seemed reasonable.
In the afternoon, after Qiao Mo had her meal, she was called over by Elder Jessie’s mate because she had woken up.
Upon entering Elder Jessie’s house, Qiao Mo noticed that there were many brown, grainy ornamental items hung up. She knew these things.
“Hazelnuts?” Qiao Mo plucked one casually and peeled off the surface. She then crushed it with her teeth. It was hazelnut inside.
Harry said, “This kind of shell fruit is not delicious, so we mostly use it for decoration.”
Qiao Mo blinked. “Have you tried roasting it?” Of course raw hazelnuts were not delicious, but the cooked hazelnuts were very fragrant.
Harry was puzzled. “These can be roasted?”
Their conversation stopped here. They entered the innermost room and Elder Jessie was lying flat on the bed, turning her head sideways to look at Qiao Mo and Harry.
Jessie said weakly, “Harry, you’ve come? I’m thankful to your female. I heard that she was the one who had saved my life?”
Seeing that Elder Jessie had woken up and heard her praising Qiao Mo, Harry’s eyes flashed with pride. “Yes, Elder Jessie, it was indeed my mate who had saved you.”
Jessie immediately tried to get up.
Qiao Mo hurriedly took two steps forward and pressed her down. “Don’t get up. Your injuries aren’t light. The wounds have just been stitched up and haven’t fully healed yet. You need to rest quietly for this period of time.”
Jessie had the image of a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She had dark skin, looked a little plump, but was very muscular. Her cheeks were also very thin and she looked like an alien. Aisha must have taken after her.
However, Jessie’s mates all looked to be strong and handsome men in their twenties. They looked at Jessie with genuine concern and heartache in their gazes.
This scene made Qiao Mo feel extremely strange.
One of Jessie’s males said, “Thank you for saving Elder Jessie’s life. You are our benefactor. No matter what you need in the future, if my female consents to it, I’ll even be willing to die for you!”
The other two also clenched their fists and crossed their hands in front of their chests. All three of them bowed to Qiao Mo in unison.
Qiao Mo quickly said, “Don’t mention it. It’s nothing.”
Elder Jessie smiled warmly. “Not proud, not asking for credit. Harry, you’ve chosen quite a remarkable female. I trust she will treat you kindly.”
