But this time, she was still caught by Fu Hua. She did not suspect that her luck had worsened; after all, even her luck had its limits.
Being able to survive in Fu Hua's hands without becoming roasted rabbit was probably her luck at work.
"I don't want the gold. I'll prepare the ingredients myself. You stay honestly at home..."
After glaring at Inaba Ten'i a few times, Fu Hua did not question her further. She gave her a warning... then, once Inaba Ten'i obediently returned to her room, Fu Hua turned and left.
At breakfast, Inaba Ten'i sat kneeling at the low table with Kaguya and Cang Xiaoxuan, looking at the delicious food laid out before her. It was not just Japan—even Great Tang had no stools at this time. Everyone sat kneeling.
It was not until the Song dynasty several centuries later that stools appeared.
Inaba Ten'i stared at the fragrant, lavish spread before her. This was the first time she had ever seen so much food placed on a single table.
She had lived for a long time and was quite familiar with human society. Even noble and royal households did not have meals this extravagant. There was meat, vegetables, and seafood alike.
Not only that, each person had a bowl of... fragrant milk beside them. Apparently, it was some kind of fruit juice milk. She had never heard of it before... She knew milk, but it did not actually taste very good. It was not even as good as goat's milk.
But neither was something ordinary people could afford.
Though she was only a pet, this woman had not given her any less than the others. Everyone had the same portions and ingredients.
Without any unnecessary words, everyone began to eat.
