As the group returned to the training camp through the secret passage, Ziyan, feeling inspired by the early hour, decided to try her hand at mounted archery.
Mounted archery was not unfamiliar to her. Back in Hengfeng County, deep in the vast mountains, she often practiced countless times alongside her Demonically Charming Man and her master, Qin Ming.
However, since leaving her hometown of Hengfeng County, she had not attempted it again.
There was no time like the present! With lunchtime approaching, the forest on the back mountain was filled with various wild delicacies.
Ziyan decided to venture into the woods herself to hunt for some wild rabbits and pheasants, while also refreshing her mounted archery skills.
With this thought in mind, Ziyan shared her plan with everyone, and immediately received enthusiastic support from all present.
Without further ado, they each got a good horse and slung a bow over their shoulders before setting off.
Ziyan aimed to prepare a meal for her brothers that they had never experienced before—something truly fresh and exquisite as a reward for them.
Of course, before making the delicious meal, they needed to gather ingredients—hunting some raw materials first was essential.
Salt would definitely be available here. She could find spices in the forest, and everyone would help with the meat. What a beautiful and delightful endeavor!
Thus, Ziyan rode her previous Western Extreme Pegasus, galloping towards the vast fields in the east.
As she ran forward, she scanned the ground for any signs of movement or sound in the grass.
The pounding hooves of her horse startled all the beasts around, sending them scattering in every direction.
In the blink of an eye, several plump white rabbits leaped out from a thicket ahead.
At the same time, several plump and tender wild chickens took flight from the ground. Soon after, more exotic beasts of different varieties emerged from another direction.
Ziyan felt an indescribable beauty in her heart—at that moment, it was beyond calculation or description.
When she set her sights on a particular animal again, she quickly unstrung her bow from her shoulder and retrieved an arrow from the leather quiver hanging on the right side of her horse.
She nocked the arrow onto the bowstring and effortlessly aimed at a large white rabbit that was running and fleeing not far in front of her, then shot.
In the blink of an eye, everyone noticed that the large white rabbit in front of Ziyan had collapsed to the ground, motionless. An arrow had pierced through its back and into its abdomen.
"Good—" Lu Yuan shouted, and the morale of the crowd surged.
Ziyan paid no attention to the praises and continued to shoot three more arrows in quick succession, all hitting their targets—this was what was known as 'never missing a shot.'
Each arrow struck a target, hitting wild chickens, large white rabbits, and tender field mice.
In an instant, the sounds of whistling, cheers, and galloping hooves merged together in the wilderness, creating a breathtaking symphony.
Everyone's hearts were already boiling with excitement; they had thought their New Sect Leader was just a delicate and beautiful young girl.
Yet no one had expected that she was actually a genius girl who excelled at nearly everything.
"Brothers, warriors, let's go! Today, whoever hunts the most prey will be rewarded with my personally roasted delicious meat. Are you confident?"
Ziyan announced loudly to the riders behind and beside her while tightly gripping the reins in her hands.
"Yes—" A deafening chorus of responses echoed around them, resonating through the mountains.
"Then charge forth, dear warriors—" With Ziyan's command, everyone spurred their steeds forward, racing off into the distance while searching for more prey.
Ziyan looked at their backs, filled with passion and a strong sense of mission and responsibility rising within her.
Once they had all rushed off into the distance, scattering to pursue their prey, Ziyan urged her Western Extreme Pegasus toward the direction of the place she had visited for the first time, where she had discovered many Star Anise and Lemongrass.
At this moment, she needed to pick some Lemongrass along with aged Star Anise.
This year's new Star Anise was definitely not available for picking, but she remembered that some of the old Star Anise still hung on the Star Anise Trees, remnants that had not completely fallen off from last year to this year.
As for Wild Onion and Wild Ginger, they were everywhere in the forest; however, not many people recognized Wild Ginger. In the southern regions, Wild Ginger could actually be harvested year-round.
As long as she gathered these few items, she would be able to prepare the most delicious roasted meat for her loyal guards.
Finally, it wasn't long before she and Ling Yuxuan arrived at the grove of Star Anise Trees they had visited last time. Sure enough, they saw that all the Star Anise Trees still had some scattered Star Anise hanging on them.
The two quickly picked a bag of fragrant Star Anise.
Then they continued toward the nearby riverbank and harvested a bundle of Lemongrass.
Next, they searched for some Wild Onion and Wild Ginger. Finally, they made their way back to the camp.
Upon returning to the camp, Ziyan had someone bring her a mortar made of natural stone. She first crushed the Star Anise into a powdery form, then added an appropriate amount of Lemongrass and continued to grind.
She ground until green juice was extracted, discarding any fibrous stems that could not be crushed. Finally, she added Wild Ginger and ground it all into a paste before adding some salt.
After mixing it well, she stored it in a jar for later use.
Ziyan couldn't help but lean in close to sniff the large jar; the aroma was incredibly fresh and rich.
When they dipped their roasted meat into this mixture, it would surely leave her subordinates craving more.
Ziyan thought and thought in her heart, and naturally felt a bloom of joy within.
Looking at the drooling expression of Demonically Charming Man, Ziyan reached out a finger, dipped it in the fragrant lemongrass sauce, and then directly offered it to his mouth.
Ling Yuxuan took a bite, savored it carefully, and immediately smacked his lips involuntarily.
He then nodded and sincerely praised, "Hmm, this flavor is great! Fresh and delicious, my Future Wife is just amazing."
"Hmph— I can make countless delicious dishes, it would probably take a lifetime for you to taste them all one by one. Just wait!"
Ziyan couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and joy.
"Well, that's wonderful. I will spend my whole life slowly accompanying my beloved Future Wife, savoring the best delicacies that my beloved Future Wife cooks for me."
Ling Yuxuan looked at the proud and ecstatic Beloved Child in front of him. He shook his head gently and affectionately reached out to pat her little head helplessly.
Just as Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan were exchanging affectionate glances, they simultaneously noticed that the guards who had previously gone out for Hunting, led by Lu Yuan and Qin Ming, were returning from afar.
When they got closer, Ziyan realized that almost none of them returned empty-handed. Each person was holding various birds and beasts of different sizes.
Finally, under Ziyan's personal supervision, one winner was chosen. It was a young man who looked decent, skilled, and remarkably handsome.
Of course, after a considerable amount of time spent working together in busy cooperation,
the animals were mostly cleaned up neatly. They were wrapped in Lotus Leaf Wrap picked from nearby, tied securely with vines, then several large holes were dug to burn firewood until the charcoal was ready before cooking the fresh meat.
Once the skin was crispy and the meat tender, these roasted animal meats were dug out from the charcoal. Everyone used their daggers to cut off pieces of meat and dip them in the fragrant lemongrass sauce she had made earlier.
Naturally, the first bite of deliciousness was taken by the previously mentioned winner, a piece of the most succulent rabbit leg that Ziyan personally cut.
Amidst the applause of the crowd, the brave warrior took a large, hearty bite of meat.
After a short while, everyone began to dig in as well.
In an instant, those gathered on the lawn savoring the delicious food all began to murmur in appreciation and cheer enthusiastically.
Listening to these various sounds of delight, each one expressing an insatiable love for food, Ziyan felt a surge of satisfaction and accomplishment within her.
...
A lavish feast began in the lively Mountain Valley and concluded in this beautiful Mountain Valley.
Ziyan knew that after today, having enjoyed such a leisurely half-day, she would need to muster her spirits again tomorrow to face another challenge.
That challenge would be to find every possible way to elevate Qingfeng Tower and its other businesses by at least one level, or even higher!
However, as someone who had crossed over from the Twenty-First Century, Ziyan felt quite confident.
When the feast ended, Ziyan and her companions left the back mountain on horseback and returned to their residence before the lanterns were lit.
All the servants in her courtyard came out to greet her. Ziyan nodded at each of them to acknowledge their presence and then dismissed her master Qin Ming and her Demonically Charming Man.
Next, she instructed her personal maid Yang Xiaodie and others who had hurried back from Drunken Immortal Residence to prepare for her bath and change of clothes.
From early morning until now, it had been quite an eventful day filled with surprises and fun; she had also enjoyed a wild feast in nature. Now she felt somewhat tired and weary.
All she wanted was to quickly bathe, change, and then go to bed.
Soon after finishing her bath and changing clothes, Ziyan lay down on her luxurious bed.
In a hazy and confused state, Ziyan woke up from her dreams and discovered that her own Demonically Charming Man had not yet removed his Golden Mask.
"You... you went out? Why aren't you resting yet?"
Ziyan blinked her eyes and asked.
"Um, I'll rest soon. I just sent Master out of the city," Ling Yuxuan smiled faintly at his Beloved One.
"Uh? Master left? Why didn't you notify me earlier so I could accompany you to see him off?"
Ziyan immediately lost all sleepiness and stared intently at Ling Yuxuan.
"It was Master who didn't want me to tell you; he was worried you would be tired," Ling Yuxuan explained with a smile.
"I'm not tired. Why didn't Master stay here for the night?"
Ziyan felt a sudden pang of disappointment in her heart.
"Hah! Silly, it’s okay. Sending someone off a thousand miles means parting ways eventually. Master won't blame you. On the contrary, he cares about you quite a bit," Ling Yuxuan gently brushed aside a stray lock of hair from Ziyan's face.
"Okay! Fine."
Ziyan could only softly respond, then reached out to remove the Golden Mask from her own Demonically Charming Man's face.
Then she grabbed one of his large hands and said, "Stay here and sleep with me, okay?"
As she spoke, Ziyan's small face, about the size of a palm, flushed with a deep red.
Ling Yuxuan looked at the alluring little demon-like Beloved Child in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He did not refuse, nor did he want to refuse. In fact, he had longed to be able to accompany this little person every night.
However, he was troubled by the fact that his great revenge had not yet been fulfilled, and that the Beloved Child's little body had not fully matured.
Everything was for the sake of planning for his Beloved Child. He feared that during the process of revenge, something might go wrong, and he was afraid it would cut off his Beloved Child's future.
If he were to lose his life during a failed revenge, then she—at least she would still be pure and could pursue another beautiful future—
But all of this, he did not tell Ziyan, and Ziyan was completely unaware of his concerns!
Just as Ling Yuxuan removed his outer garment and lay down beside Ziyan, she ambiguously turned over and kissed the sexy lips of her Demonically Charming Man beside her.
