Su Qinglan ponders how to help Stove gain a human body, as her system is offline. She decides to bake cakes for the children using special golden seeds found in the Upper Domain. With Xuan Long's help, she grinds the seeds into flour and they prepare to bake.

After deciding to make cakes for the cubs, Su Qinglan and Xuan Long immediately began preparing everything they needed.

Since there was no proper oven in the Heavenly God’s State, Su Qinglan had to build one herself. Fortunately, there were many materials available here.

With Xuan Long’s help, they quickly prepared a large stone oven. They also made a simple baking tray, several bowls, and some other tools Su Qinglan needed.

Once everything was ready, Su Qinglan became busy. She mixed the strange flour with eggs, milk, honey, and crushed spiritual fruits.

Her hands moved quickly as she stirred the batter. "Hopefully, this works."

She looked at the smooth batter inside the bowl. It looked almost exactly like the batter she was familiar with. She carefully poured it into the baking bowls. Then she placed them inside the oven.

"Now we just have to wait." Su Qinglan wiped her forehead. Only then did she realize how hot she had become.

It was summer in the Upper Domain, and although the Heavenly God’s State had a pleasant spiritual environment, standing directly in front of a huge oven was another matter.

Her forehead was already covered in tiny beads of sweat. A few strands of her hair stuck to her cheeks. Even her arms were slightly damp from the heat.

Xuan Long looked at her. His brows immediately furrowed. "You are sweating."

Su Qinglan laughed. "Of course I am. Look at this oven." She pointed toward it. "It is so hot."

Xuan Long walked toward her. Then, without saying anything, he gently pulled her toward him. Su Qinglan blinked. "Xuan Long?"

"Come here." He sat down beside the oven and pulled her against his bare chest.

Su Qinglan immediately felt a cool sensation against her overheated skin. She sighed comfortably. "Ah..." His body was naturally cool. After all, he was a snake beast.

His body temperature was much lower than hers, making his chest feel like a piece of cool jade in the summer heat.

"Much better?" Xuan Long asked. Su Qinglan nodded immediately. "Very much." She leaned comfortably against him. "You’re like my personal air conditioner."

Xuan Long did not understand what an air conditioner was, but he did not ask. He simply wrapped his arms around her waist. His fingers gently brushed the sweat from her forehead.

Then he wiped the sweat from her arms. Su Qinglan closed her eyes. The coolness made her feel extremely comfortable.

"Don’t move." Xuan Long’s voice was low and gentle. "I’m wiping the sweat."

"Okay." She leaned even closer. The two of them quietly waited for the cakes to cook. The sweet fragrance slowly began spreading from inside the oven.

Su Qinglan’s nose twitched. "It smells good."

Xuan Long lowered his head slightly. "It does."

Su Qinglan smiled. "I can’t wait to see whether the cubs like them."

"They will."

"You are very confident."

"They like everything you make."

Su Qinglan laughed softly. "That’s because they’re my little foodies."

Xuan Long’s lips curved slightly. For a while, they simply stayed like that. Su Qinglan rested against his chest. His arms remained around her waist.

Every once in a while, he would gently wipe the sweat from her face. The peaceful moment made Su Qinglan feel incredibly relaxed.

Xuan Long lowered his head. He looked at her soft face. His gaze became warmer. He slowly leaned closer.

Su Qinglan immediately noticed. She turned her head. "Don’t."

Xuan Long paused. "Why?" "Little Yue is still here." She pushed his face away with one hand. "She must not see."

Xuan Long froze. He slowly turned his head. His gaze landed on the table beside them. A small basket was sitting there.

And from inside the basket... Two tiny eyes were secretly peeking out. Little Yue. She had been there the entire time.

She had been accompanying her mommy and father beast while they cooked. The little girl was extremely clingy.

Unlike the other cubs, who were happily playing in the garden, Little Yue practically followed Xuan Long everywhere. Wherever he went, she went too.

If he sat down, she wanted to sit nearby. If he walked somewhere, she followed. Even when Su Qinglan was cooking, Little Yue had refused to leave.

She had simply curled herself inside her little basket and watched everything. Now, after seeing her mommy leaning against her father beast, Little Yue’s tiny face became curious.

She poked her head farther out.

"Mmm"

She made a tiny sound. Xuan Long’s lips twitched. He could understand her perfectly. She was basically saying... I want to join too.

Xuan Long looked at his little daughter. His expression softened immediately. How could he refuse his precious daughter?

He reached over and picked up the basket. Su Qinglan looked at him. "She was watching us this whole time?" Xuan Long nodded.

Su Qinglan immediately became embarrassed. "Then she saw everything?" Xuan Long remained silent. His silence was enough of an answer.

Su Qinglan covered her face. "Oh no..." Little Yue looked at her mommy and giggled. Xuan Long carefully placed the basket in front of them. Then he reached inside and gently lifted Little Yue onto his palm. Her tiny body was soft and warm.

She sat comfortably on his large hand and immediately reached toward him. Xuan Long’s heart softened. "My little treasure." Little Yue smiled. He gently touched her tiny head with one finger. "You wanted to sit with us?" Little Yue nodded. "Then come."

He brought her closer. Little Yue immediately leaned against his chest.

Su Qinglan couldn’t help smiling. "You really are attached to your father beast." Little Yue turned her little face toward her. "Hiss!" Su Qinglan laughed. "Yes, yes. Mommy is here too."

She gently touched Little Yue’s head. Little Yue immediately reached toward her. Su Qinglan held it.

For a moment, the three of them sat together. Su Qinglan leaned against Xuan Long. Little Yue nestled between them. The warm fragrance of the cakes filled the room.

Su Qinglan’s eyes immediately widened. "The cakes!" She quickly sat up. "The cakes must be ready!" Xuan Long immediately stood up with her. Little Yue also raised her tiny head.
