”Little Rabbit, do you know why the old man secluded himself alone like that?” Feng Xue asked Rong Hua curiously.

”Nope. Not a clue. Although we shared a home, he wasn't a talkative type of guy. Whenever I brought out the topic, he always shrugged it off and lazed around again. He always tried to be mysterious, that old fogey.” Rong Hua replied.

”I also still don't know who he is even though I had already checked all of my records. He is very elusive,” said Snowy as she shooked her head.

”Maybe the old man doesn't want to be found out and disturbed,” guessed Feng Xue.

”Perhaps.”

To be honest, Snowy still curious about his identity, but there was no point in Snowy pondering over it more than this. If the old man had no intention to let people knew about him, with his power, nobody could do anything about it. Snowy decided to focus on the matter of Nine-Petal Lotus first.

After several hours the trio returned to the lake. Rong Hua proposed to make the place a rendezvous point because, in the night when the Nine-Petal Lotus would bloom, The Lotus needed to absorb much moonlight.

Snowy and Feng Xue agreed to Rong Hua's proposal, and then they split to make their preparation. Later the night, Rong Hua came back and informed them that the Lotus would move to their place when the night fell on the third day.

Snowy and Feng Xue had already finished moving their temporary shelter closer to the lake. Snowy also had gathered some fishes, spirit herbs and fruits, and firewood to prepare their dinner.

”Growl...” a rumbling voice echoed in the forests while the owner of the voice covered her blushing face with her hand.

”Xue, Don't worry. I'll prepare the dinner in a second,” said Snowy gently.

Meanwhile, Rong Hua was laughing her rabbit's ass on the floor, made Feng Xue wanted to find a hole to hide in embarrassment.

Snowy quickly took out her kitchen utensil, they were given to her by Madam Feng before Feng Xue, and she departed to Blackwood Forest. Even inexperienced people could guess that the quality of the tools was very high.

”Is she good at cooking too?” Rong Hua finally stopped laughing and threw a question at Feng Xue.

”Just watch. You won't be disappointed,” replied Feng Xue with a smug smile.

While everyone was watching her, Snowy reached out his hand and suddenly pulled the fish out of the water basin. She effortlessly picked the fish up with chopsticks skillfully clamping onto its sides.

The fish was struggling but could not break free as if it was caught in a vise grip.

Snowy sifted through the fish. To be frank, the fish was indeed very plump and meaty. Her eyes slightly lit up, and her satisfaction toward the ingredient rose.
