Upon entering White Eagle City, Ming Yan had people exchange beast pelts for some temporary resting places within the city.
Si Yan and the cubs chose a quiet and secluded spot. The cubs found some wood, and Dongchi took it to Ming Yan, who lit it for him.
Dongchi was no longer afraid of fire. Holding the burning wood, he ignited Si Yan's firewood.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji dug up some yellow earth fruits nearby, and Si Yan's eyes lit up at the sight.
"After eating flavorless meat for so many days, I'll cook something tasty for you today," Si Yan said with a smile.
She made a fresh stone pot from some rocks and cleaned it. Then, she placed sliced yellow earth fruits on the bottom layer, added freshly cut pork belly on top, and finally sprinkled it with salt.
After adding freshly filtered water, she covered it with a stone lid and let it stew.
Before long, the intermingling aroma of the yellow earth fruits and pork belly wafted out.
