The two had just slain a Demon Beast, and Mo Wen skillfully cleaned up the battlefield. Over the past few days, they had been making their way forward, facing battles every day as before. After each fight, Zi Lan showed no interest in the spoils, yet Mo Wen still extracted the Beast Core from every Demon Beast they hunted and offered it to her. At first, Zi Lan refused, prompting Mo Wen to explain that these Beast Cores were evidence of her kills and would serve as proof of her accomplishments when they returned home. The family's ranking for this training was based on the number and level of Demon Beasts killed. It wasn't that she didn't want them; it was just that "Dog Brother" always charged ahead in battle, and throughout their journey, he had been cooking while she simply enjoyed the meals. She felt it would be inconsiderate to take the Beast Cores for herself.
“Dog Brother, tell me about yourself; I don’t know anything about you,” she said.
“Alright, I entered the mountains with my master two years ago…” Mo Wen reluctantly spun a tale about himself, claiming he had an unreliable master who abandoned him in the forest and disappeared. However, his master would occasionally appear to check on him.
“Dog Brother, where did you learn to cook? The food you make is so delicious!” In a cave, Zi Lan was eating with grease dripping from her mouth. Ever since following "Dog Brother," she had tasted various dishes prepared in different ways, all of which were far superior to what she had at home.
“I rely on the mountains for food and the water for sustenance. My unreliable master left me nothing and ran off, so I had to catch whatever I could find to eat. Over time, I figured out these recipes myself,” Mo Wen replied while busy with his tasks. It seemed that this little girl was curious about everything, asking questions as they traveled.
“Dog Brother, you’re amazing.” Zi Lan's eyes sparkled with admiration.
“What’s so special about it? You’ll learn to figure things out too,” he encouraged.
“Oh, I don’t have such opportunities. You don’t know; before meeting you, I didn’t even realize there were such delicious foods in the world. Since childhood, my family never let me eat whatever I wanted, saying it would hinder my future cultivation. Every day I only ate what they prepared for me—pills and such…” As Zi Lan counted off on her fingers what she used to eat, Mo Wen listened in astonishment. This little girl had been raised on high-quality food that he hadn’t even had a chance to enjoy himself—except for that Shuang Sheng Lian.
“Dog Brother, look! I’ve gotten chubby.” She glanced at her chest and then patted her backside with a pout of feigned grievance.
“Ha ha! How could Lan'er be chubby? You’re not only not chubby but even prettier than before,” Mo Wen replied awkwardly; it was clear she hadn’t gained weight.
“Really?”
“Of course! Why would Dog Brother lie to you?”
“Yay! That’s good to hear.”
“Wow! I didn’t expect the sunset over this forest to be so beautiful from up here.” Sitting on a high tree branch, Zi Lan was filled with excitement as she gazed at the scenery.
“When night falls, it will be a different kind of beauty,” Mo Wen said as the sun gradually sank below the horizon and darkness enveloped them, with stars beginning to twinkle in the sky…
