The lamb is cooked.

Fu Luoyouqi took out a dagger, cut off a piece from the tenderest part of the mutton, and handed it to her.

"Eat quickly, then let's go!"

His tone was full of displeasure at being interrupted from his meal.

Li Yunyan glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes. She wasn't here to freeload!

However, looking at that piece of meat, its color was glossy and golden brown, and it exuded a freshly roasted aroma, making it look very delicious!

But she didn't have any utensils, and the meat was freshly grilled, so it must be scalding hot!

She didn't reach out to take it, but looked at him and said coquettishly, "It's so hot!"

Fu Luo Youqi gave it another disdainful look, put the branch in his hand on the shelf next to him, and then took a thin bamboo skewer and stuck it into the piece of meat.

Li Yunyan still shook her head, "The meat is too big, I can't chew it!"

Fu Luo took a deep breath, picked up the dagger again, made a few cuts on the piece of meat, and handed it to her again.

"Is it alright now, Your Highness?"

Li Yunyan blinked, wondering whether she should continue acting up, when she heard him say, "Eat it or not, it's up to you!"

"All right!"

Afraid of angering him, Li Yunyan quickly reached out and took it, her expression aggrieved.

She lowered her head and took a sniff.

It smells so good!

However, this piece of meat was as big as a plate. Even though Fu Luoyouqi had made several cuts on it, Princess Li Yunyan still couldn't bring her face close to it to take a bite.

She thought for a moment, then stretched out two slender white fingers, tentatively pinched a small corner of the meat, and gently tore off a small piece.

Then, delicately, stuff it into your mouth.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed instantly, "Mmm~~ So delicious!"

"It's crispy and fragrant when you bite into it, the meat is tender and smooth, and the saltiness is just right!"

"This is the best barbecue I've ever had!"

"Aqi, you're amazing!"

Li Yunyan gave him a thumbs up without hesitation, her eyes full of admiration.

Fu Luoyouqi's initially agitated mood instantly calmed down.

It's just a piece of roast meat. Look at her, she's never seen anything like this before!

He casually spread his legs, taking big bites of mutton, his jaw muscles clenching and unclenching with an indescribable air of nonchalance.

For Li Yunyan, the steps were much more complicated.

Each time she tore off a piece of mutton, it was so thin it was only the size of a few strands of hair. After every two bites, a maid would feed her a sip of tea, while another maid would wipe her mouth and use a clean white silk handkerchief to wipe away the oil stains on her fingers.

The noble princess seemed to get tired of eating meat. She swallowed the meat, rested for a couple of breaths, and then started tearing the meat apart with her hands again.

Fu Luoyou glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, full of confusion. If she was going to continue eating, why wipe her hands?

Women are such a hassle!

As he chewed on the meat, the image of those two alabaster fingers, stained with oil, kept flashing through his mind.

There's a strange feeling that these hands are not meant to get dirty.

He shook his head.

The leaves rustled slightly, and a gentle breeze stirred on the mountaintop in the evening.

Fu Luoyouqi sat downwind of Li Yunyan, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

It was her scent.

Li Yunyan had already bathed and was wearing a moon-white palace dress. The wide sleeves and hem of the dress fluttered in the night breeze, making her look ethereal and as if she might ride the wind away at any moment.

This was a woman's appearance that Fu Luo had never seen before.

Women on the grasslands are usually more free-spirited than gentle. But Li Yunyan is quite capable in every gesture, yet when she is silent, she is a gentle and beautiful woman.

And her smile, her face...

Fu Luo's heart skipped a beat.

While I was still in a daze, a small, fair hand appeared in front of me.

He was also holding a bamboo skewer in his hand.

Li Yunyan was trying her best to eat, but she had already eaten a meal before, so she only ate a third of the whole piece of meat.

She handed him the bamboo skewer. "This meat is clean. I didn't bite it; I tore it apart with my hands! We can't waste food. Can you eat it for me?"

She finished speaking quickly and, without waiting for his reaction, forcefully shoved the bamboo skewer into his hand and turned to leave.

As she walked, a maid held each of her hands, carefully wiping the dirt off her fingers.

What a noble princess!

Fu Luo sat lazily, eating the tender mutton in his hand while watching her back.

It smells so good!

*

The next day.

The sun is rising.

We need to get back on the road.

Li Yunyan had a good rest yesterday and is fully recovered today!

She stepped out of the tent, where people were busy packing their belongings. Occasionally, a few people from Beishuo would walk by and respectfully stop to greet her.

Yesterday, Li Yunyan was not humiliated in the main hall, and Fu Luo Youqi's attitude towards her was also quite good! The people under Bei Shuo Kingdom act according to their master's wishes and have not yet developed any contempt for her.

The Northern Shuo Kingdom is located outside the border of the Yuanxia Kingdom. If they continue at yesterday's pace, it will take them more than a month to reach it.

If she's on the road, Li Yunyan can occasionally write something, and that can take even longer.

She looked at Fu Luoyouqi's tall figure facing the valley. This long period of time should be enough for him to fall in love with her, right?

Once she got into the carriage, she wouldn't have a chance to get close to him! Not wanting to miss any spare moment, Li Yunyan lifted her skirt and walked up.

Sensing the movement behind him, Fu Luoyouqi knew it was her.

After all, the people of Beishuo Kingdom didn't have the guts to approach him without warning.
