Simmer the juice over a low flame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the process wasn’t difficult, Jin Ling didn’t offer to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m thinking of heading up the mountain today to see if I can catch any prey. You all stay in the tribe and don’t wander off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi found it a little funny how he was admonishing her as if she were a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we won’t go anywhere. You be careful too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Jin Ling checked the fence one more time. Only after confirming there were no issues did he exit the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished eating, Qiaoqiao sat down next to Qiao Xixi and helped her tend the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie picked up their wooden buckets, ready to head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bathed every day and used a lot of water, so they had to fetch more daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them about to leave, Qiao Xixi felt a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother will go with you in a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang refused without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need! If anyone dares to bully us, I’ll beat them to a pulp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi thought about the few white cat cubs who had brought gifts yesterday and didn’t stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, be careful. If a bucket falls in the water, just leave it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard gate closed, and Qiao Xixi returned to the stove to continue slicing the Grass Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, what are you going to do with this Grass Fruit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiaoqiao stirred the clear juice in the pot. She sniffed it several times but couldn’t detect any scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother is extracting Salt Crystals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiaoqiao tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what Salt Crystals were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a type of seasoning. If you add it to food, it makes it taste even better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the three words \"tastes even better\" were the only thing Qiaoqiao heard, and she began to stir with even more vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The method recorded in the booklet for refining Grass Fruit into salt was very simple: just heat the juice over a low flame until it completely evaporated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To test if this method really worked, Qiao Xixi didn’t put too much juice in the stone pot at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time—long enough for Qiaoqiao’s little hands to grow tired—the juice finally began to bubble vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi leaned in for a look and could already see clear particles of Salt Crystal at the bottom of the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re tired, let Mother take over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiaoqiao shook her head. \"Qiaoqiao’s not tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another long while of stirring, the juice completely evaporated, leaving a layer of Salt Crystal as thick as a fingernail on the stone pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi used a spoon to scrape the Salt Crystals into a bowl, then pinched a little to taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really tastes like salt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was overjoyed. She turned, grabbed a leftover Yellow Earth Fruit from breakfast on the table, and sliced it in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she sprinkled the salt granules inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiaoqiao, quick, try it and tell me what it tastes like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Qiaoqiao took a bite and began to chew slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she ate, the brighter her large, turquoise eyes became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, it really does taste better! I want more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi prepared a few more for her and let her eat them slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just done a quick calculation. She had used over a hundred Grass Fruits to produce only a few dozen grams of Salt Crystal. The yield was still a bit too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yao, how many seasons a year do Grass Fruits grow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host, Grass Fruit matures once every three years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi exclaimed, \"They only mature once every three years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt that the patch of Grass Fruit on the back mountain wasn’t much at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do the beastmen here refine salt? Surely they don’t just rely on Grass Fruit. That wouldn’t be nearly enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, Host. The Beast World has salt flats too, but they’re in the coastal areas. We’re very far from there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then what was the point of even bringing it up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However~ the Host can transplant the Grass Fruit into your space to cultivate them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi frowned. \"Didn’t you say my body’s foundation was desolate and my space was just a wasteland?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was before! After the Host became a Priest and absorbed the beastmen’s energy, a small patch of your body’s foundation has been activated. You can plant things there, and the Grass Fruit will mature twice a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiao Xixi quickly entered her space with her consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately spotted a patch of land in the middle of the wasteland that looked exceptionally nourished and moist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Xixi could finish, she saw something that looked like a Ginsengfruit doll fly over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, Host! This is it. When you absorb external energy, your body’s foundation will be activated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’m already a Priest. Are there any other ways to absorb external energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yao’s small, pale face blushed, and its pervy, large eyes glanced at Qiao Xixi with a mix of shyness and coyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is. The Host can mate with powerful males. They are inherently strong, and after you couple, you can also absorb the power of their body’s foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hah.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, Host?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi stared at its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have any of your previous hosts ever told you that your face looks like a butt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yao’s chubby face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host, that’s a personal attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi sneered, \"You’re a piece of code. What ’person’ do you even have to attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just telling the truth. I think that Golden Tiger Beast is a good choice...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi withdrew from her space, ignoring Xiao Yao’s incessant babbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small patch of land that had been activated wasn’t large, but it was better than nothing. She could indeed transplant some of the Grass Fruit trees into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qiao Xixi was lost in thought, a noise came from outside the courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who? Who’s out there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked cautiously to the gate and peeked through a gap in the fence, but she didn’t see anyone outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s out there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still no sound from outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi frowned, tightening her grip on her bone knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after that one sound, there was nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be some young cubs playing a prank?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while longer and confirming no one was outside, she returned to the stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to try and extract all the remaining Salt Crystals today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiao Xixi get busy again, Qiaoqiao obediently went forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard gate was knocked on again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Qiao Xixi walked to the gate again and heard Hong Xi’s voice from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest, we’ve brought back all the Grass Fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Xixi heard it was Hong Xi, she opened the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Hong Xi were several male beastmen, each carrying a large bag of Grass Fruit as they walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just put them over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xi wiped the sweat from his brow and said, \"Priest, this is all the Grass Fruit from the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi saw that the Grass Fruit they brought back nearly filled the courtyard. She should be able to refine a good amount of Salt Crystal from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. Once the Salt Crystals from this Grass Fruit are extracted, I’ll share them with everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Salt Crystals? Priest, are you saying Salt Crystals can be extracted from this Grass Fruit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi nodded. Hong Xi was the one who had led her to the Grass Fruit in the first place, so she didn’t plan to keep it a secret. She would give a portion of the Salt Crystals to the beastmen who helped as a thank-you gift.\u003C\u002Fp>",1360,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","bbeec9134adc638f904843c15480c85a71c18d4e63e6f4e7304c1ad33c0ef405","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-37","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-35",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
