Chapter 502 (1/2)

“You just need to cover the chicken with mud. If you don’t like the mud touching your chicken, you can wrap it in lotus leaves first,” said Li Yue. This was what Ye Lang taught her.

“Where’s the chicken?” Zhao Yarou realised she didn’t have the main ingredient despite having received instructions. Ye Lang seemed to have said he’d provide her with a chicken.

However, Ye Lang said something that made everyone want to slap him.

“Hunt your own.”

“...”

“Didn’t you say you’d give me one just now?” asked Zhao Yarou.

“That was just now. I’ve changed my mind,” said Ye Lang. I wouldn’t have said that if I’d known it was you.

“Fine, if that’s what you say. Get me a chicken.” Looks like Zhao Yarou was in an exceptionally good mood today to be tolerating such rudeness from Ye Lang.

Many people were surprised. Why was she so calm today? They were shocked at how well she was taking the rude kid’s remarks.

However, everyone was already treating the kid like he was already dead. His death was certain.

She was in a good mood now but that could change at any moment.

He should prepare to meet Death soon.

The most important thing now was to go get her a chicken or they’d be meeting Death too…

“This is delicious, who thought of cooking chicken this way?” asked Zhao Yarou when she finished her chicken. She thought it had a very unique taste.

This was a whole chicken Zhao Yarou cooked for herself! Today was a special day! Everyone stared at her fair, soft hands splotched with mud, oddly emotional.

Once he saw her finish, he immediately said, “Since you’re done, then we should get going. Farewell, Your Majesty. Oh, and help us extinguish that fire. Li Yue, let’s go…”

Zhao Yarou was stunned and before she could speak, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw him carry Li Yue. Based on her understanding of Li Yue, she would never let anyone carry her, especially not a man.

“Captain Li Yue, are you really that weak?” asked Zhao Yarou. She could sense Li Yue was indeed quite weak, this wasn’t a display of intimacy.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine in a few days.” Li Yue nodded, her face turning red with embarrassment. She hadn’t expected Ye Lang to pick her up in front of everyone.

At that moment, she hadn’t said anything either because she’d gotten too used to it.

In a swift motion, he placed her on the back of the horse then guided it with its reins. They walked slowly towards a valley.

Zhao Yarou thought this looked as beautiful as a painting. Li Yue’s sickly weakness had instead added beauty to the scene, she almost envied the girl who had someone caring for her like this.

Not just Zhao Yarou, everyone had the same feeling. It was touching to see them like this.

Just a little bit though. How often does one feel shaken to their core in their lifetime anyway? Even feeling a little shaken or touched was enough.

“I see you care for her well. You like her?” asked Zhao Yarou. She’d walked up to walk with him, shoulder to shoulder.
