“Gather some capable people here,” he instructed his personal guard. “Doesn’t he like burning food? I’ll burn them for him!”
“Yes, Your Highness,” the personal guard replied and left.
“Zhan Beiye, if you dare to touch my food supplies, don’t even think about keeping your own. I want your food supplies too!” Ming Fucheng said sinisterly as he watched his guard leave.
Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue did not know what was going on between Ming Fucheng and Zhan Beiye.
Two days later, they arrived at the Scorching Rock Peak that Zhan Beiye had mentioned. It was a very tall mountain range. Standing outside, they could already hear the roars of demonic beasts.
“There should be many demonic beasts here. It should be a good place to train.” An Jiuyue stroked her chin and clicked her tongue.
“Do you want to go up straight or rest here for a while?” Qian Jiyun walked to her side and pulled her into his arms.
Regardless of how many demonic beasts there were, he only wanted An Jiuyue to be safe. He had heard from Zhan Beiye that the demonic beasts on Scorching Rock Peak were of lower levels. An Jiuyue could handle them.
However, he frowned secretly when he arrived.
The demonic beasts were low-leveled, but he could tell from the sounds that there were many of them. He was not sure how much rest they would have after entering.
“Shall we rest here for a while and eat something to replenish our strength before entering?
“Alright.” An Jiuyue nodded.
She frowned when she heard the roars, muttering to herself that it was too dangerous.
“Let’s find a clean place. I’ll cook and set aside some extra food. Judging by
these roars, it seems like we won’t be able to rest once we enter.”
“I’ll hunt a few small beasts. We can roast and eat them,” Qian Jiyun suggested.
“Okay!” An Jiuyue nodded.
They divided the work—she started a fire while Qian Jiyun hunted and gutted the small beasts.
In less than two hours, several small beasts were roasted over a fire. The fragrance spread, causing the demonic beasts around them to roar even louder.
However, the demonic beasts here were probably used to staying in the forest. Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were in the plains, so the demonic beasts did not disturb them.
However, the absence of demonic beasts did not imply the absence of other entities; humans, for instance, were still present.
Just as they were about to set aside the roasted little beasts and keep only a small portion to eat, they heard footsteps nearby.
They looked up and saw a crowd rushing towards them. There were men and women in gorgeous clothes. They were obviously children of wealthy families and were accompanied by some guards.
“It smells so good!”
Smelling the aroma of the roasted meat, one of the girls sniffed adorably.
“Brother, Sister, are you here to hunt for demonic crystals? Is it just the two of you? Why didn’t you come with a few more people?”
Although the young lady was talking to them, her eyes were fixed on the roasted meat on the fire rack. It seemed like she was about to drool.
Qian Jiyun ignored the woman and did not even look up. On the other hand, An Jiuyue looked up at her.
“Mhm.”
Her soft reply expressed her intentions.
She did not want to engage with strangers outside, nor did she want to get into trouble..
