The sun was already high in the sky.
Yue Chan awoke. Recalling last night's frenzy and feeling the marks still left on her body, she blushed and narrowed her eyes again.
"Get up if you're awake. I made you some chicken and mushroom stew. Nourish yourself properly so you'll have the strength to keep going tonight." Lin Fan smiled.
"Ah... again?"
"Weren't you the one who said you wanted children? In that case, the more days we try, the better our chances."
Yue Chan shuddered, a little frightened and a little regretful. She had been too rash last night.
"Silly, I'm teasing you. We have plenty of days ahead. There's no need to rush. Right now, we should focus on cultivating."
"But I still want to sleep a little longer..." Yue Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and she slept soundly.
After all, ever since leaving the Three Thousand Provinces, she had struggled to adjust. Everything here was so unfamiliar.
Here at the Immortal Academy in the Nine Heavens, her junior brother was the only person she could depend on. That was why she had taken such initiative last night.
Lin Fan looked at her, wondering whether he had spoiled her rotten. Was this still the fairy he remembered, whose heart had been set solely on the Dao?
"Yueyue, please pull yourself together."
Yue Chan: "..."
Cooking smoke curled into the air, and the aroma of meat filled their noses.
Golden light blazed within the Great Cauldron, which gushed endless essence accompanied by wisps of immortal radiance, shimmering with color.
The fragrance was incredibly rich. Besides meat, there were translucent, glistening Lion's Mane Mushrooms Lin Fan had picked among the cliffs, along with some spirit medicines.
A mere whiff made their mouths water, leaving them eager to dig in.
