"It truly is," he said, "I've never seen such a beautiful sight." Looking up at the night sky, the bright moon hung high, and the stars sparkled brilliantly. The forest began to buzz with activity once more.
"What is that?"
"The light produced by the Chimeras fighting each other."
"Brother Dog, I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of? They won't come over here."
"But I'm still scared. Can you hold me?"
"..." Before he could respond, Zi Lan had already nestled into his arms like a little kitten.
"…Go to sleep." After saying this, Mo Wen closed his eyes to rest. This was his first time spending the night with Zi Lan in the Tree, and it was also the first time holding her. He couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Although he was trying to nurture his spirit, he didn't actually fall asleep; instead, he remained alert to his surroundings. When he opened his eyes again, he found that Zi Lan had already drifted off in his embrace. Looking at her from such a close distance, he didn't feel excitement; rather, a sense of sadness washed over him. He was surprised by this feeling of sorrow and wondered where it had come from.
…
"Brother Dog, wake up! You can't die! What will happen to Lan'er if you die? Wu Wu..." In a cave, Mo Wen lay on the ground, having sustained serious injuries this time.
"Cough! Silly girl, how could I die…"
"Ah! Brother Dog, you're finally awake!" Seeing Mo Wen regain consciousness, Zi Lan rushed over, her face that had been tear-streaked now blossoming into a joyful smile.
…
By a Lava Pool, Mo Wen was busy crafting tools. The tools he had made earlier were nearly worn out. He didn't shy away from Zi Lan; to him, it wasn't a secret. Besides, this carefree girl didn't require much caution. Meanwhile, Zi Lan was busy preparing food on the other side. Holding the freshly crafted dagger in hand, he wanted to test whether his crafting skills had improved.
"Brother Dog! Why did you try to kill yourself? Did Lan'er do something wrong?" Seeing Mo Wen holding one dagger while cutting into his other hand, Zi Lan rushed over and snatched the dagger away, looking at him with a hurt expression. Mo Wen could only shake his head in exasperation.
"I was just testing how sharp it is; I wasn't trying to kill myself."
"Even so, you can't cut your own hand! What if you accidentally hurt yourself? What will you make Lan'er do?"
"Uh... I won't. Just give me back the dagger; don't worry, I won't kill myself."
"No way! This dagger is mine now! Even if it was a gift from Brother Dog to Lan'er, you have to make me a sheath for it."
…
"What are you doing?" Zi Lan approached curiously as Mo Wen worked on making "clothes."
"Making clothes."
"Like what you're wearing?"
"That's right."
"Then you should make me a pair too."
"But you already have clothes to wear, don't you?"
"I don't care! Lan'er wants to wear the same clothes as Brother Dog."
"How about this? I'll make you a pair of boots instead. What do you think?"
"Great! You're the best, Brother Dog." In the end, Mo Wen carefully crafted a pair of women's boots for Zi Lan, using Beast Skin for the upper and melting Beast Tendon for the sole.
"Brother Dog, is this the pair of boots you made? They're so interesting! Why isn't the sole flat? With these boots on, I bet Lan'er won't even be able to walk." Zi Lan looked at the boots in front of her with wide-eyed curiosity.
"This is called a high heel. Lan'er will definitely look beautiful in them."
"Thank you, Brother Dog." Zi Lan made a playful face and then tucked the boots away.
