Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

"Cut~"

……

The atmosphere was lively at dinner time.

A large round table was laden with dishes that looked and smelled delicious.

"Wow! Brother Xiao Ze is amazing!" Ning Rongrong was the first to rush to the table, her big, glassy eyes sparkling.

"Why are you calling Xiao Ze 'brother' now? Xiao Ze is actually a few months younger than you," Dugu Yan asked.

"I just think that calling Xiao Ze 'brother' sounds pretty good, and since they're so much older than him and they can call him that, so can I."

Xiao Ze didn't mind, but he hoped that Rongrong would call him "Dad" when they were in bed together in the future.

Shui Bing'er sat quietly in the corner, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

She carefully opened her notebook and prepared her pen.

"Let's eat!" As soon as Xiao Ze finished speaking, a group of girls eagerly stretched out their chopsticks.

Xiao Ze watched the women eat, his smile never stopping.

As a chef, I really hope that my culinary skills can bring happiness to others.

Huo Wu and Shui Yue'er almost got into a fight over the last piece of pork rib, but Meng Yiran snatched it away with her chopsticks first.

Ye Lingling ate slowly and carefully, but the food in her bowl had already piled up into a small mountain.

Ning Rongrong kept putting food into Xiao Ze's bowl while eating, displaying the proper demeanor of a mature woman.

Shui Bing'er's eating habits are quite unique.

Each time she tasted a dish, she would close her eyes and savor it carefully, then quickly jot it down in her notebook.

"Jade shrimp, made primarily with fresh river shrimp, marinated with a little egg white and starch...cooked to 70% doneness, seasoned with salt, a pinch of sugar, and...is this Shaoxing wine?"

Xiao Ze glanced at her notes casually, then was immediately surprised.

This seemingly clumsy girl actually possesses an exceptionally keen sense of taste, able to discern the contents of the dishes. It seems she has a natural talent, though her brain and hands aren't quite coordinated.

This is probably what they mean by "the brain says I can, but the hands say I didn't."

A culinary genius with perfect theoretical knowledge but zero practical skills.

Chapter 208: They're all top-notch girls!

By the end of dinner, Shui Bing'er's notebook was filled with various cooking tips.

She closed the notebook with satisfaction, looked up and met Xiao Ze's smiling gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

Huo Wu keenly noticed the subtle expression on her face and immediately said sourly, "Some people just eat, why are they taking notes?"

Shui Yue'er immediately defended her sister: "My sister is just eager to learn! Unlike someone else, who only knows how to steal food!"

Seeing that a new round of war was about to break out, Xiao Ze quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, would you like to try some dessert? I made almond tofu."

"Yes!" all the girls answered in unison, even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

Night fell, and the stars shone like diamonds.

Xiao Ze stood alone on the villa's terrace, gazing up at the vast, boundless night sky.

At this moment, all was quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, with countless stars twinkling within it.

Xiao Ze really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the feeling of looking at the stars.

He sat in a long rocking chair, gazing at the sky and cracking sunflower seeds.

"So beautiful."

Soft footsteps came from behind.

Shuiyue'er had also arrived at the terrace at some point, her long hair shimmering softly in the moonlight.

She tilted her delicate face up, her aquamarine eyes reflecting the entire starry sky.

Xiao Ze slightly turned to make room for her: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Because it was too late, Shuiyue'er and the other two stayed here and would go to the competition together the next day.

Shui Yue'er sat gracefully beside Xiao Ze.

She casually shifted her body until her shoulder gently touched Xiao Ze's arm.

A night breeze blew by, and a few strands of her long hair playfully draped over Xiao Ze's shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Brother Xiao Ze~~ Won't there be any problems if you give us those precious foods?" Shui Yue'er was a little stunned after learning that the crops she was eating actually had special effects, and very strong ones at that.

This was the first time in her life she had ever known about such a crop.

Amazing.

“Those crops were grown by my martial spirit, and I trust you.”

Shuiyue'er suddenly felt her heart pounding wildly, like a deer running around in the air.

She moved a little closer. Her slender fingers pretended to adjust her skirt, but in reality, they had already touched the hem of Xiao Ze's clothes.

Suddenly feeling a soft touch on his arm, Xiao Ze realized that Shui Yue'er had leaned almost entirely against him.

Xiao Ze was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't distance himself from the situation.

Since others have already offered it to him for free, and he's become more emotionally intelligent, he naturally wouldn't do that.

Furthermore, he liked all three women quite a bit; they all had great personalities.

Huo Wu has a fiery exterior, but she is easily shy, making her a woman with a contrasting personality.

Shuiyue is lively, cute, very proactive, and easily provides emotional value to others.

Shui Bing'er appears aloof, but like Huo Wu, she is easily shy, though she leans more towards social anxiety.

They're all amazing girls.

Seeing that Xiao Ze did not refuse, Shui Yue'er smiled and her eyes crinkled, her left hand quietly moving towards Xiao Ze's hand.

"Shui! Yue! Er!" Huo Wu's angry roar came from behind.

This startled both Shui Yue'er and Xiao Ze.

It feels like being caught cheating.

The red-haired girl charged over aggressively, yelling, "Get away from him!"

Instead of dodging, Shui Yue'er clung even tighter to Xiao Ze's arm, sticking her tongue out at Huo Wu: "No way~ come and hit me if you dare~"

Xiao Ze was having a bit of a headache; these two girls really were sworn enemies.

Xiao Ze suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Wu's wrist.

"Ah!" Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise. Before she could react, she was gently pulled into Xiao Ze's arms.

She instinctively braced herself against Xiao Ze's chest, raising her head to meet his eyes.

"What...what are you doing?" Huo Wu's voice trailed off, her cheeks flushing red.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red hair fell into Xiao Ze's arms.

"Isn't this what you wanted? I've always been a person of equality, so you don't need to argue with Yue'er anymore," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"I...I didn't," Huo Wu said, but she made no attempt to break free.

Shuiyue puffed out her cheeks beside her, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

But soon, this quirky girl adjusted her mood, gave a soft hum, and leaned her head on Xiao Ze's other shoulder.

"You got off easy," she muttered softly, but couldn't hide the sweet smile on her lips.

Xiao Ze gently wrapped his arms around the two girls with very different styles, feeling their completely different temperatures.

On one side is the warmth emanating from Huo Wu, and on the other side is the coolness unique to Shui Yue'er, a Soul Master with ice and water attributes.

The night breeze carried the subtle fragrance of their hair, making people unconsciously relax.

A little further away, the other girls couldn't help but look towards this heartwarming scene.

Shui Bing'er sat down with her knees wrapped around her arms, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head.

She has no chance today.

"Go if you want to." Dugu Yan appeared behind her at some point and mischievously poked her shoulder.

Shui Bing'er trembled like a startled deer and quickly shook her head: "No...no need."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood side by side, one with a gossipy look on her face and the other expressionless, but their eyes kept glancing towards Xiao Ze.

"Tsk tsk, he's got two women on his arms, he's really enjoying himself," Ning Rongrong muttered to herself.

"Isn't it always like this? I remember you were the most enthusiastic person every day." Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled up slightly.

"Hmph, I just didn't want Xiao Ze to be sad alone, so I wanted to keep him company." Hmph, Ning Rongrong made her appearance again.

As the night deepened, the starlight shone even brighter.

The two girls in Xiao Ze's arms gradually relaxed, leaning closer to him and comfortably squinting their eyes.

At this moment, all the noise faded away, leaving only starlight, a gentle breeze, and the sound of each other's heartbeats.

Shui Bing'er gazed at this heartwarming scene and sighed softly, yet secretly she felt a sense of anticipation.

Maybe tomorrow... or the day after... I'll have my chance.

Brave Bing'er, don't be afraid of difficulties, keep it up!

at the same time.

Inside a hotel in Tiandou City.

Shui Yiyao and Huo Wushuang looked at each other, both seeing the deep helplessness in the other's eyes.

"It looks like Third Brother and his daughter won't be coming back today," Shui Yiyao sighed softly.

"That Xiao Ze is really despicable! They only met today, and he took them back and isn't even going to send them back! What if something happens..."
