As Qian Renxue listened to Bi Zihan's words, two blushes appeared on her face. She lowered her head to eat the grilled fish in her hand, occasionally glancing at Bi Zihan with a faint smile in her eyes.
"You eat slowly first, I'll rest for a while. Wake me up in the middle of the night so I can take the night watch. That way we can be safer and avoid any unexpected situations that we wouldn't know about." Bi Zihan stretched, lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a bit.
"Okay, you go and rest first, I'll keep watch." Qian Renxue nodded lightly and agreed without much thought.
Watching Bi Zihan fall into a deep sleep, Qian Renxue's lips curled into a faint smile. She reached out and lifted the wooden plank blocking the tree hole, glanced at the sky outside, and quickly rearranged the plank.
After finishing the grilled fish in her hand, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and began to recover her Soul Power.
As her Soul Power gradually recovered, her complexion improved significantly. Although one could still see some weakness and fatigue in her face, it was noticeably rosier than before.
It wasn't until late at night that Qian Renxue opened her eyes, yawned, walked over to Bi Zihan, nudged him, and said, "Get up, it's your turn to keep watch. I need to rest for a while."
"Okay, you go and rest, I'll keep watch." Bi Zihan stretched, sat up from the ground, looked at the campfire that was almost extinguished, picked up a branch from the side and added it to the campfire to make it burn brighter.
"Then I'll go rest. If anything happens, remember to wake me up. I've recovered some of my Soul Power, so I have a little ability to protect myself now." Qian Renxue instructed, then leaned against the wall of the tree hole and closed her eyes.
Bi Zihan sat cross-legged, recovering his Soul Power. However, because his Soul Power was very pure, the recovery was somewhat slow.
It took him several hours to recover about one-tenth of his Soul Power. Although the recovered Soul Power was not much, it was enough to release his Martial Soul and have some ability to protect himself.
Reaching out to lift the wooden plank blocking the tree hole, Bi Zihan realized it was already early morning. He removed the plank, cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and finding no danger, walked out of the tree hole and headed towards the stream.
To avoid a repeat of last night's events, he deliberately caught several large fish this time, intending to return to the tree hollow to make grilled fish and fill his stomach.
In this situation, consuming the meat of some Soul Beast can better nourish the body. It's important to know that the meat of some powerful Soul Beast contains energy, and long-term consumption can be very beneficial to the body.
However, Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue's current situation, it's clear they can't defeat the Soul Beast in the forest, so they have no choice but to settle for these natural fish.
After finishing the grilled fish, Bi Zihan glanced at Qian Renxue, who was fast asleep. He didn't wake her, but instead turned down the fire a little, left some of the grilled fish, and started eating by himself.
Qian Renxue, who was fast asleep, twitched her little nose a few times, rubbed her eyes, sat up from the ground, looked at Bi Zihan who was eating grilled fish, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "You bastard, you actually ate all by yourself without even calling me."
Upon hearing this, Bi Zihan pointed to the grilled fish on the campfire and said, "Didn't I leave this for you? I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
"That's more like it." Qian Renxue glanced at the grilled fish on the campfire, and without any hesitation, reached out and picked up a grilled fish, taking small bites to eat.
Bi Zihan stared at Qian Renxue, who was eating grilled fish, and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought. Qian Renxue's movements were very elegant, and coupled with her peerless beauty, she looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
When Qian Renxue noticed Bi Zihan's gaze, she blinked and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
"I don't have anything, but looking at you, a word suddenly came to mind." Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bi Zihan immediately snapped out of his reverie.
"Words? What words?" Qian Renxue put down the grilled fish in her hand, looked at Bi Zihan, and looked at him with a little confusion in her eyes.
"It looks delicious!" Bi Zihan smiled and lowered his head to eat the grilled fish in his hand.
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment when she heard his words, but she quickly came back to her senses and continued to eat the grilled fish as if nothing had happened, but a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Soon after finishing their grilled fish, the two sat cross-legged to recover their Soul Power. Neither of them mentioned what had just happened, as if it had never occurred.
Peaceful and leisurely times are always short-lived; it seems like only a blink of an eye, and half a month has quietly passed.
In the past two weeks, Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue have adjusted themselves to their peak condition, and the period of weakness caused by using skills has passed.
Moreover, they had a very peaceful two weeks, and the occasional playful bickering added a lot of fun to their lives.
Perhaps they were very lucky, or perhaps for other reasons, they did not encounter a single Soul Beast in the course of half a month.
In the early morning, Qian Renxue got up somewhat lazily, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and asked, "What are we having for breakfast? We're not having fish again, are we? We're tired of eating fish every day."
"I'm not eating fish anymore. I made you a soup with chives. Would you like to try some?" Bi Zihan chuckled, leaning against the wall of the tree hollow.
"Nine dishes and one soup? In this situation, you can actually make nine dishes and one soup?" Qian Renxue put down her hand that was rubbing her eyes and glanced around. Apart from the roasted rabbit on the campfire, there was no sign of nine dishes and one soup.
"Yes, a soup with chives. Do you want this roasted rabbit or the soup with chives?" A smile appeared in Bi Zihan's eyes.
"This roast rabbit is yours. Bring out the nine dishes and one soup so I can take a look." Qian Renxue blinked. Although she said that, she was already prepared to snatch the roast rabbit.
Under these circumstances, she didn't believe that Bi Zihan could prepare nine dishes and a soup.
Upon hearing this, Bi Zihan took out a simple wooden basin and a fresh leek from behind his back, placed them in front of Qian Renxue, and said in a joking tone, "Here, this is the leek soup you ordered. It's all fresh. The roasted rabbit is mine."
