We headed north.
The Law Beasts stopped fighting, and the world gradually returned to normal.
Since Mu was injured, everyone moved very slowly.
Fortunately, the girl who specialized in healing had fully recovered her strength. She treated Mu once every hour.
In just half a day, Mu's injuries had begun to improve.
"Thank you, Little Qi Ruo," Mu said gratefully.
"It's nothing. I hope you get better soon," the girl said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Her name was Qi Ruo, and she was the youngest of the six.
The six of them—
Rod, Mu, Atley, Reneedol, Qi Ruo, and Chi Hu.
Three boys and three girls.
Of the three girls, Reneedol was the strongest, Qi Ruo excelled at healing, and Chi Hu was good at combat support.
Around noon.
The six youngsters stopped and found a shady spot beneath some trees to rest.
"I'll make us something to eat," Gu Qingshan said.
Rod was a pretty good cook, so no one objected.
Reneedol seemed lost in thought. She stood up and said, "Why don't I help, too?"
It seemed she knew a thing or two about cooking—and was quite skilled at it.
Gu Qingshan said cheerfully, "Sure. I'll go catch a cute little deer. When I get back, I'll skin it, and you can gut it."
A cute little deer.
Gut... it...
Reneedol pictured the scene and silently gave up on cooking.
Cooking is boring anyway. Why should I waste my precious time and energy on it?
She said with a perfectly composed expression, "Rod, you should do it after all. I think I should focus on taking good care of Mu."
Gu Qingshan paused, then said, "True. Mu's safety is the most important thing. Keep an eye on him while I go hunting."
