When Aleya opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a fire.
Then, she slled the scent of at.
Afterwards, she sensed that the clothes she wore were different. Her armor was removed, the blood-stained clothes were nowhere to be seen, and her current attire was a full, dry cotton outerwear.
Naturally, the one sitting in front of the fire barbecuing was . Seeing Aleya wake up, I grabbed a stick of barbequed bear at and placed it into her hand. Then, I shifted my seat right next to her side and took a bite of the barbequed bear paw in my own hands. Taking a bite ended up with my tongue being scalded by the still-hot at, so I desperately breathed in and out to cool the sensation.
Aleya didnt imdiately eat up the at skewer in her hands, instead apologizing:
Sorry, young master. I promised to make simr-fried bear paws for you.
I gave her so perfunctory words:
Barbequed is also quite delicious. Besides, I was just speaking casually. At the ti, my anger was soaring through the roof
After I said my part, I went to brush the hair on my head, but sadly the hair on top of my head was nowhere to be felt. Fortunately, the hair on the sides of my head were still as lush as ever and there was enough to provide assistance to the middle-top area. With a lowering of my head, the front hair covering the bald spot fell back down and my egg-in-a-birds-nest spot ca into full display. Aleya went pfft and giggled softly.
She caught herself shortly after, drew a taut face, and said:
It is Aleyas fault for being incompetent and unable to protect young master.
I bit into the bear paws at. The fragrance hidden within the crispy golden barbequed skin burst out. Though the at was a bit stiffer than I had expected, resembling jerky, its texture wasnt at all like wood bark, but rather more of a chewy jerky. It was fortunate that I had brought all sorts of condints with like scallion powder, ginger powder, cooking wine, white sugar, fine salt, cumin, and so on. Apart from the relatively-more-expensive chili powder, all the other condints were all on my person and was enough to season so mouth-watering food.
What youve achieved is already pretty good. Even if there were many flaws. However, I know very well in my heart how youve followed during those harsh years in Lingyun City, how hardworking you are and how many hardships youve gone through, as well as how youve cleaned up after my ssesthe amount of tis youve cleaned up after is too many to count. But if were talking about how many tis youve truly gone through life-or-die situations, then youve never gone through any. After all, there was only one thing that kept us safe at the ti; the two of us relied on my status as the Overlords son to act tyrannically and commit misdeeds. It was also due to this that not many people dared to confront us on our behavior.
This statent was indeed true.
The corners of Aleyas mouth raised ever-so-slightly as she responded:
Aleya has no guarantee that she can give young master that she will be able to beat her opponent next ti. But regardless of who wishes to harm young master, they must all tread over Aleyas corpse.
She took a small bite out of the barbequed bear at, her cheek bulging as she chewed.
I remarked:
Theres no need to eat so attentively. Look over there for example, doesnt do **** yet still eating with extre happiness.
After I finished speaking, I pointed a finger over at the Red-Mane Bears corpse.
Aleya looked over at where my finger pointed and imdiately saw a sli on the Red-Mane Bears stomach gorging itself. In my opinion, this slis face was really too thick. It didnt exert any strength when it ca to the fight, then pestered until no end to eat after the fight was over. I cut the Red-Mane Bears two paws and so tender at for skewers, then its semi-circle mane and put it away with the shining horn before finally throwing the remaining corpse at the sli.
The sli seed to apparently understand my complaint since it turned its body to biijii biijii at in what seed to be a protest.
After Aleya finished eating the at skewers in her hand, she suddenly whispered to :
Young master, my clothes
I replied without any unnaturalness:
Not a problem, I saw that it was dirty so I simply helped you change. I helped you wash that set of clothes clean, it should be dry soon.
Aleya lowered her head and mumbled in a low voice:
Young master
I patted Aleyas shoulder and consoled:
Dont worry, Aleya.
Aleya lifted up her head in confusion. I gave her a thumbs-up and exposed a clear and bright smile:
Even though it might not be sufficiently ample now, it will one day grow.
Aleya stared blankly at and slowly began showing a smile, but the corners of her lips seed to be trembling violently and it was clear as day that her false smile couldnt be maintained for long. I leaned my head upwards and gazed towards the sea of stars glittering in the sky. The only thought that ca into my mind was that the Big Dipper really resembled the lying down Aleya. Her fair figure when I was helping her change clothes erged in my mind. I held the small bamboo skewer in my mouth as I reclined onto the grassy lawn and couldnt help but remark:
But as far as Im concerned, you, accompanying my side, are beautiful regardless of what growth stage youre in.
I didnt go check up on Aleyas reaction nor did I tease her again.
But I could feel that the resentful and aggrieved aura by my side scattered.
Frankly, this place here is much more free than Lingyun City.
Theres no need to listen to my older brothers mocking and ridicule, no need to behave a certain way according to my dads complexion, no need to et people pointing fingers at every day.
The sea of the stars in the sky is pretty and the girl by my side is the one I like. Except for the hindrance known as the sli, theres basically nothing for to be fussy about.
But before long, I sensed sothing covering up my line of sight.
Several golden small balls circled in my eyes.
I sat up swiftly and then discovered that it was the little sli hopping over. After it finished eating the Red-Mane Bear, it had changed its appearance. Its pale golden body had sohow gone back to its colorless state for so unknown reason while the golden splendor condensed into 6 small spheres slowly rotating around its surroundings. It very much looked much like satellites orbiting an equator.
Biijii!
The sli called out. Two of the six spheres floated out, went over to grab the other bear paw that had been roasting by the bonfire, and passed it over into my hands. I reached out to accept it and the sli, upon seeing this, rotated its main body as if to show off to .
I patted its head and said:
Indeed youre very sensible. You knew that I still hadnt eaten my fill so you specially made so curry fishballs for .
After speaking, I reached out to grab the pale golden spheres by its body.
The little sli ran away in fright, shivering as it hid behind a tree.
