Lin Xuehan took the sachet Yunxi had made, her heart filled with warmth.
Her child had grown up—so filial, so well-behaved.
Seeing this, Yunxi was overjoyed too. "I'm glad you like it, Mother."
At that moment, Second Uncle's voice rang out from outside the Small Courtyard.
"Xiao Li, what's keeping you? The meat's almost done! Let's eat, let's eat!"
Li Fan couldn't help but pause. "Eat?"
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Master... We hunted a lot of prey this time, too!" Wu Dade said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with hunger. "There'll be more than enough to go around!"
Li Fan was surprised. They'd brought back another pile of game?
...This felt like he'd gone back to a life where people delivered food right to his door.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Li Fan asked. The villagers might have nearly finished cooking everything by now.
Wu Dade looked aggrieved. "Master, you were busy sewing just now."
Li Fan chuckled. "Then I was in the wrong. Come on, let's go eat first."
"The village hasn't had a lively gathering in ages."
Everyone was delighted.
"Time to eat! There's more delicious food!"
"Come on, let's go!"
"Beggar's chicken, I'm coming!"
The disciples clamored excitedly.
"Ah... I still wanted to make a sachet, but I really want meat, too." Yunxi was a little reluctant. She had only just learned to sew and was still basking in the joy of her success.
"You don't have to make one. Here, this one's for you." Li Fan smiled and handed her the sachet he'd just made.
It could be a reward for Yunxi's filial heart.
Yunxi happily took Li Fan's sachet and turned it over and over in her hands, beaming. "Well... all right, then. Thank you, Great Devil King! Let's go eat something delicious!"
