Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

"But Mom, didn't you pick the horses?"

Mary's question made Katherine's face blush a little, but she quickly brought the three away from the horses.

"Enough about horses. Can you three help me set up with the cooking utensils?"

"Okay!"

---

When Meiya and Luqing came back from their foraging, Katherine and the three kids had just finished setting up the campfire.

The two had gathered a bunch of firewood, along with a small boar that didn't seem to have any wound at all.

Katherine quickly directed the three kids and Meiya to start a fire while she and Luqing headed away from the camp with the boar.

"How did you guys catch this boar?" Katherine curiously asked as she pulled out a giant cutting board.

"Mom felt something underneath a tree stump, and she punched it real hard... Then this boar came out from the ground."

"Ah... Huh, but why does it have no wound?"

"She killed it with Qi."

"Really..? It can do that without cutting the skin... Luqing, help me hold this for a second."

With Luqing quickly grabbed onto its head, Katherine pulled out her butchering knife before casting some sort of spell.

Twenty minutes later...

When the two returned from the butchering, they were carrying a giant plate full of wild boar meat.

"Okay, time to get ready to cook this... You three want to learn a little magic trick when you're outside?"

All three of the kids immediately nodded in response.

"A lot of wild food isn't really safe to eat, even after it is cooked, right?"

All three of the kids nodded again, with Luqing and Meiya both looking a little curious about what Katherine was planning to do.

"That's where this magic spell comes in handy. Just listen to what I chant here."

As Katherine began chanting a short line, a slightly dim light appeared on the meat before it disappeared.

"Okay, that light shows that it doesn't have any toxic materials... Now to remove all the parasites."

Katherine once again began chanting a short line, which caused the meat to glow red for a second before it returned to normal.

"Okay, now the meat is safe to cook. You three got that?"

All three of them nodded, with Luqing's face suddenly seemingly a little jealous out of nowhere.

"Every day I feel magic is just superior every second... Who came up with all these spells?"

Meiya curiously asked as Katherine began to put a few slices of the meat onto the oiled pan. .net

"The goddess herself created them... Without her creation power, then we'll all be stuck with just elemental magic."

As Katherine explained, she began adding a few of the slices to the heated pot filled with water and seasoning.

"This is going to take forever to eat them all——"

"Don't worry, Luqing and I can eat all of them." Meiya immediately replied after noticing Katherine's intent to throw some away.

"Okay then."

Katherine quickly added more until the pan was full, then dumped the rest into the pot.

"Mom, why don't we just grill it over the fire like a barbecue?" Alex asked curiously.

"Good idea. But I forgot to bring sticks to pierce the meat. Maybe next time."

As the meat on the pan began to cook rapidly, the five watched Katherine quickly pull out several bottles of salt and seasoning.

After adding all of it onto the meat, she began flipping the meat back and forth like a steak as the five of them patiently waited.

However, the peacefully sizzling sound was eventually interrupted by Sophia's and Mary's stomach growling.

Even Alex and Katherine's stomach began to growling as well, but Luqing and Meiya were completely fine.

"Are you two not hungry?" Katherine curiously asked.

"We're super hungry. It's just that we eat a lot more food to store it over time," Meiya explained after noticing their confused looks.

The five of them waited in silence until Katherine finally removed the pan from its stand and took out several plates.

"Okay, the pan-grilled one is done... Luqing, can you pass out the plates?"

---

After everyone had eaten the grilled boar meat, they waited almost an hour for the boiled meat to finish.

When everything was done and finished, Meiya could barely move as she ate almost half of the meat alone.

"This is so good! That was the best outdoor meal I ever had in my entire life," Meiya commented as she rubbed her full belly.

"Thank you, thank you."

As Katherine gathered all the cooking utensils back into her pocket dimension, the three kids immediately began heading towards the tent.

However, they suddenly ran right into an invisible barrier, blocking them from going inside.

"You three had sweated too much today. I don't want my tent to be full of sweaty pigs."

"Mommm! Let us just sleep for today. We're so tired." Mary complained as she started banging on the invisible barrier.

"Mom, can we not just take a shower after we get to Ironpeak?" Sophia suggested.

"Nope. We are not going in until we take a shower."

As Katherine finished putting everything away, the three kids reluctantly walked all the way back to the campfire.

"How are we going to shower out here? There's no river or anything." Meiya curiously asked.

"Meiya, come on. How do you think I added water to that boiled boar soup?"

"Oh right, I'm such a dumbass..."

Meiya quickly facepalmed herself as she had completely forgotten about the water spells.

"Meiya, Luqing, you two don't mind taking a shower with us together, right?"

Both of them immediately nodded in agreement, but they looked over to Alex, who awkwardly looked to the side in silence.

"Ahem, Alex, can you go inside the tent? I'll——"

Before Katherine could finish talking, Alex had already run straight into the tent.

"Okay, that's out of the way... Time for a nice bath!"

"Bath?"

Meiya looked a little confused until Katherine suddenly pulled out a bathtub so big that they could stand and still be half submerged.

"God damn, Katherine, do you have an entire house inside your dimension thing?"

Meiya curiously asked as hot water began to fill the tub from Katherine's spell.

"Maybe... Anyway, let's start taking our clothes off. You can put it here."

Katherine quickly pulled out a small rack, allowing them to put their dirty clothes onto it.

None of them hesitated as they all began to undress before each other, not even bothering to have a towel over themselves.

"Woohoo!"

Mary was the first to jump into the water, submerging herself fully as the water level rose slightly.

"Stop jumping into the water like that."

Sophia lectured as she got into the bathtub and swam over to attempt to knock on her head.

"Ha! Take this!"

As Mary splashed the water towards Sophia, her face started to turn red as she splashed water right back at her.

"Okay, okay, no more playing around," Katherine warned as she got inside the bathtub along with Meiya and Luqing.

The two quickly stopped as they all leaned back to their side of the bathtub.

Sitting down on the small ledge, all of them were now half-submerged up to their chest, except for Sophia and Mary, who had to stand.

"Sister Luqing, your chest is so big." Mary suddenly commented as they examined each other's bodies for the first time.

Luqing only smiled back, not really knowing what to say back to Mary as her chest was almost as flat as an airstrip.

"Hey, don't call her your sister. If she's your sister, then what does that make me when we are both the same age?"

"Miss Luqing, are you happy?" As Mary grumpily fixed her mistake, Meiya decided to comment.

"Kate, just let the kids call whatever they want. If they feel like Luqing is like an older sister, I'm sure Luqing is more than happy to be it.

Besides, there's no outsider here. There's no need to show formality to me or Luqing."

Luqing's face immediately blushed a little, but she didn't say anything out loud about it.

"Fine... But I better see you two call them properly when we're outside." Katherine warned as she accepted Meiya's point.

"Yay! Sister Meiya! Sister Luqing!"

As Mary started celebrating her victory, Katherine began to regret permitting them.

"Sister Meiya, sorry if this sounds a little rude. But how do you keep up with such good skin?"

Sophia curiously asked as she noticed both Luqing and Meiya's skin looked perfectly smooth, just like them.

But considering Meiya's age was almost double what their mom was, it just seemed extremely impressive.

"Cultivators have their benefits. Every breakthrough we have actually changes how good our body looks."

"Really?" Katherine curiously asked this time, looking a little intrigued by Meiya's answer.

"Yes, really. Luqing is about to reach level 5 soon. You guys can see how much different she looks when she reaches that level."

"Mom..."

Luqing shyly voiced her complaint as she shook Meiya's arm a little, her face blushing red either from the embarrassment or the hot water.
