The familiar feeling was tinged with heartache, stirring a desire to cry within Mo Wen. He sighed inwardly, realizing he was unwell.
Suppressing that feeling, he chatted casually with Zi Lan by the campfire. From their conversation, Mo Wen learned that Zi Lan had come out to train alongside h Elder Er s. However, shortly after entering the forest, an incident occurred in Cloud Mist Swamp. The elder who was supposed to protect them had been sent by the family to investigate the situation in Cloud Mist Swamp, and anoth Elder Er who remained with them had gone missing during a skirmish with another exploration team. As a result, the younger generation was scattered, and she had accidentally ended up by Yan Luo River. She had fainted there after mistakenly entering the territory of a Demon Beast. After a fierce battle, she sought a place to rest but encountered a Chimera instead. Unable to defeat it after a prolonged struggle, she had no choice but to flee, not realizing that the Chimera had no intention of letting her go.
As they talked, their relationship gradually warmed up, and it was then that Mo Wen realized that the girl's modesty was all an act. Although he had prepared porridge and roasted meat for two, he was surprised to find that Zi Lan could eat far more than he expected. Most of the porridge and meat disappeared into her stomach, and her initially graceful manner of eating was soon abandoned. At that moment, Zi Lan devoured her food as if she hadn’t eaten in years, with grease smeared all over her mouth. After finishing, she wiped her lips with her sleeve, completely shedding any semblance of restraint.
Watching this transformation from a gentle and reserved girl to a wild one in less than a meal left Mo Wen's jaw nearly on the ground; he momentarily forgot about the meat in his hand.
“Brother Dog, I’m sorry! I was just so hungry…” Seeing Mo Wen’s astonished expression made Zi Lan blush instantly, though her eyes remained fixed on the meat in his hand.
“It’s no problem; cultivators should be straightforward and open-minded.”
“So… if you’re not going to eat that meat… could you give it to me?”
“…”
The two stayed in the cave for seven or eight days. Aside from his injuries on Shen Hun, Mo Wen was otherwise unscathed. After drinking Shuangsheng Lianye Zhou, he fully recovered overnight. Just as he expected, Lotus Leaf indeed had healing properties comparable to Lian Zi. Zi Lan’s injuries were more severe; she had been focusing on recovery during these days while Mo Wen naturally took on the role of Cook. Over these few days together, Mo Wen discovered that Zi Lan wasn’t just hungry; she could really eat! She constantly pestered him for food and managed to consume large amounts each time.
“Zi Gu Niang, how is your recovery coming along?”
“Thank you for your concern, Brother Dog. I’m almost fully recovered; just a day or two more should suffice,” Zi Lan replied while gnawing on some meat by the fire without looking up.
“That’s good to hear. Once you’re healed, we should leave this place; it’s not safe to linger here.”
“Why? I think it’s quite nice here! Every day you make me delicious food; I don’t want to leave!” Zi Lan seemed puzzled at the thought of departing.
“We’ve been here for some time now. The longer we stay, the easier it is for others to find us. Do you understand now?”
“I still don’t get it. If someone finds us, we can just follow them! Isn’t that great?”
