“Yes!” Liang Xiaole nodded in embarrassment, and delicately said, “I haven’t eaten all day.” The corner of her eyes could not help but light up as she glanced at the bonfire, where the finely cooked, golden magical beast meat was currently dripping with rich oils. She greedily inhaled its aroma, but the more she did this, the louder her stomach grumbled. Eventually, both Jian Chen and Tie Ta could only hear rumbling sounds in their ears.
Jian Chen smiled. He picked up the skewer with the magical meat on it, and unafraid of the heat, directly used his hand to tear off a large chunk of the meat. Handing it over to Liang Xiaole, he said, “Go on and eat this. Be careful it’s hot though.”
Liang Xiaole twisted her hands, and ripped the corners of her clothes to wipe clean the dirt on her hands. Tenderly, she reached over to receive the magical beast meat. Once it had cooled down, she directly ate it with large mouthfuls, not caring to keep up her appearance in the least.
Liang Xiaole was probably starving, because after she quickly finished that large piece of meat, she still gazed at the remaining piece with a wistful look in her eyes.
Jian Chen smiled, and ripped off another large chunk of magical beast meat. He handed it over to Liang Xiaole and said, “Go ahead and eat this.”
Seeing the piece of magical beast meat that had placed in front of her, Liang Xiaole hesitated for a bit, and in the end, still didn’t reach out to receive it. Instead, she gazed at Jian Chen and Tie Ta and softly asked, “If I finish it, what will you guys eat?”
Tie Ta laughed, “Don’t worry, we still have another one left. Look under that tree.” As he said this, Tie Ta extended a finger to point in the direction.
Liang Xiaole looked at where Tie Ta was pointing, and sure enough, she noticed that underneath a large tree nearby, an unknown magical beast had fallen to the ground. One of its legs had already disappeared, and the ground was covered with fresh blood marks.
Staring at the magical beast’s corpse, Liang Xiaole swallowed hard and said, “You guys are really formidable. To think that the two of you alone could kill a Class 1 Magical Beast.”
“Che….What does that mean?” Tie Ta said, completely unperturbed.
The time stealthily flew by. Jian Chen and Tie Ta had finished eating, and were now preparing to rest.
“Hey, where should i sleep?” Liang Xiaole asked with difficulty.
Jian Chen pointed at a large tree not too far away and said, “Go rest on top of that tree. That way, even if magical beasts try to attack in the middle of the night, you won’t be harmed.”
“Ah, magical beasts still attack during the night?” Liang Xiaole’s face turned ashen at these words. Her eyes were filled with fear, and her whole body began to tremble.
“Then what about you guys? Where would you guys go? You can’t just leave me behind alone, otherwise I’ll definitely be eaten by some savage magical beast,” Liang Xiaole asked in a panicked tone. She nervously glanced at Jian Chen and Tie Ta, as if afraid for her life if they ran away and abandoned her.
Jian Chen internally sighed. He really couldn’t do anything about the cowardly Liang Xiaole. People like her who had been born and raised in noble families as a precious little girl had never experienced the stormy sea. From birth, she had grown up into a sheltered environment, so encountering any danger drove her heart and mind into disarray.
“Don’t worry, we won’t go far. We’re just going to rest in the other tree over there,” Jian Chen said.
Liang Xiaole felt slightly comforted after hearing these words. However, traces of fear still remained in her heart, refusing to go away.
“That damned school, that damned headmaster! Why do they have to force everyone to attend this type of event for no reason at all? Isn’t this just deliberately trying to send us to our deaths?” Whenever she thought about how she had gotten into her current situation, Liang Xiaole could not help but start cursing in anger. Eventually her words gradually began to turn into sobs.
