When he saw Bora wake, he immediately flashed a bright stile Morning Dora”

en Elmer’s gaze crossed over Lioren in the fiddle and landed on Clive on the other side, his sleeping bag nearly touching Dora’s his smile instantly froze. His eyes turned wary and dispicased.

Lioren sat primly on the sleeping bag at Dora’s Neer, his tail swishing leisurely. He looked left at Clive, who was radiating downcast vibes, then right at Elmer, who was puffed up with indignation. A human-like, almost mocking, sly glint thickered through Loren’s amber eyes.

Amateurs, Lioren thought.

Dora looked left, then right, and finally down at Lioren on her lap, who was licking his paws without a care in the world, as if everything was under control

She stayed quiet for a moment, then said. “You guys are all up? Good. Hurry lip and get ready. Make breakfast. We’ve got a

beamer workload today.”

Dora got up with her usual expression, as if she hadn’t noticed the strange shift in sleeping bag positions or the invisible clash of gazes at all. Her tone was brisk and no-nonsense, instantly pulling the topic back to business.

Clive paused for a beat, then continued organizing. The coldness around him receded a little.

Elmer was immediately distracted. “Got it, Dora. I’ll start the fire right away.”

Lioren jumped off the sleeping bag and headed toward the tent entrance with an elegant catwalk, as if he hadn’t been the one who sparked the standoff in the first place.

A potential early-morning battlefield was deftly defused by Dora with the lightest of touches. But she knew perfectly well that each of these three was a master of sneaky moves.

As she packed up her sleeping bag. Dora silently mused. Only three of them, and I already have a headache. I still have to match with two more. Five men? What a sweet burden.

If I want to live like an empress. I’d better learn to balance them all starting now.

The air in the training zone that morning carried the crisp chill that settled overnight. The first faint light of the distant had appeared, brushing the desolate edge of the ice valley with a layer of pale gold.

Dora didn’t immediately join Elmer in starting the fire and making breakfast. Instead, she found a rock sheltered from the wind with a wide view. She leaned back against it, closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness into her Spatial Realm.

The essence spring was still gurgling steadily. Its milky white glow seemed a touch richer than yesterday. The three plots Dora had first sown already looked different.

The peanux plants had still been scattered with a few tiny yellow flowers yesterday. Now, several small bulges wrapped in sil could now be seen near the base of the stems.

Those were the peanut peds swelling up. The leaves were lush and green, growing exceptionally well

The potato plants were even more flourishing. Dora focused her mind and carefully peered beneath the soil

At the exads of several root systems, round, fist-sized tubers had already formed, their skins still a tender yellowish color. They weren’t very big, but there were more than she had expected, full of life.

The sweet potato vines had practically turned into invaders. Their reach had spread even further than yesterday. The

deaves were so thick and plump that they looked ready to burst with water.

Dora followed the vines underground. A few small spindle-shaped tubers Frad already formed near the main roots. They weren’t fully mature yet, but they were starting to take shape.

Happily, she picked some sweet potato leaves, planning to give them to Elmer later so everyone could have some greens with breakfast.

Over the past few days, everyone had clearly been filled with crystal energy from eating the food from her Spatial Realm. They were all full of vigor.

Even Lioren’s condition had visibly improved. His body size kept growing, too. He was now the size of an adult cat, and his fighting strength had turned fiercer.

At this growth rate in her Spatial Realm, perhaps the first harvest would be fully ripe in one more day.

After picking the sweet potato leaves, Dora put the extras into her storage Spatial Realm. She used her consciousness to guide the essence spring water and evenly replenished all three plots.
