Seeing this, Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we've taken care of this big guy."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, another brown bear appeared.

Zuo Qingya sighed, "Why are there so many brown bears? Did I accidentally disturb their den?"

Despite saying that, he still reacted, immediately placing a talisman on the brown bear.

Before the brown bear could even react, it felt the flames on its body and immediately collapsed to the ground, rolling around. Just like the brown bear in front of it, it was helpless and didn't even know what had happened until it died.

After dealing with the brown bear, Zuo Qingya felt that the two pieces of meat shouldn't be wasted, so she cleaned them up. There was so much meat that Zuo Qingya couldn't possibly eat it all by herself, so she put it into her bracelet space to eat when she got hungry. For now, she should deal with the rat meat in her hand first.

Seeing that Zuo Qingya had already dealt with the brown bear, Xiao Guaiguai slowly climbed down from the tree.

Zuo Qingya rolled her eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to come down here? You can't help at all, all you do is hide."

"Hehe, host, I was just afraid of making things worse. Even though I couldn't really help, I did buy you things, right? That counts as helping out, doesn't it?"

Zuo Qingya nodded helplessly, "Yes, yes, you're right about everything, except me, okay?"

Zuo Qingya ignored Xiao Guaiguai and started a fire to roast the rat meat.

The aroma filled the air, and the little one couldn't resist any longer, swallowing her saliva countless times.

"Host, are you done yet? I'm so hungry, this smells so good." He swallowed, feeling a bit of stomach cramps from hunger.

"Host, hurry up! I feel so hungry my stomach hurts. Hurry, hurry, I need to eat now. I feel dizzy."

"??? Hmm, medium-rare should be fine too, why don't you give it a try?"

"Whatever, whatever. I want to eat now. I don't care about anything else."

"Okay, then you can eat it. I don't have any objections." With that, Zuo Qingya took a skewer that wasn't fully cooked yet, the meat was probably only medium-rare or medium-well, and handed it to Xiao Guaiguai.

Little Guaiguai was like a wolf when it saw meat. As soon as it got its hands on the meat, it took a big bite without caring whether it was hot or not. It started eating the meat with gusto, thinking it was so delicious. The meat tasted so good in its mouth that it made its mouth water. But after eating a few pieces, Little Guaiguai felt it wasn't enough and continued to stare at the meat in Zuo Qingya's hand.

Zuo Qingya's eyes told her that she wanted more.

Zuo Qingya sighed helplessly, "Eat it if you want. It's about the same doneness as before, just a little bit more cooked."

"It's okay, host. I'm really hungry right now."

"If you have no objections, that's fine with me. Eat whatever you want."

"Thank you, host."

Zuo Qingya didn't even get to eat a single piece of the last bit of rat meat before Xiao Guaiguai devoured it all.

"??? The host is gone?"

Zuo Qingya shrugged. "What do you think? Is there anything else? I'm empty-handed right now."

"??? Okay then, but have you eaten, host?"

Zuo Qingya rolled her eyes. "What do you think? Anyway, it's all going into your stomach."

"Alright then, but doesn't the host still have brown bear meat? You should be able to eat that, right?"

"Hmm, can't you see I'm skewering meat?"

"Alright then, host, you can continue. I'll rest for now."

The fire crackled and popped. Zuo Qingya thought it was almost done roasting, so she took a bite. Well, how should I put it? It wasn't delicious, but it wasn't bad either. The taste was strange, unlike any meat she usually ate.

Just then, Zuo Qingya sensed something. Looking in that direction, she unexpectedly saw two black dots rushing towards her from afar.

Zuo Qingya picked up the little darling and hid.

The newcomers were a man and a woman, both carrying swords on their backs.

The woman crouched down to examine the fire that Zuo Qingya had just built and said, "Senior brother, the fire is still warm. It seems that the person has only been gone for a short time."

"Mmm, I can already smell the aroma of barbecue in the air, it smells really good." He licked his lips as he spoke.

The woman stamped her foot. "Senior brother, what time is it? You're still thinking about food."

At that moment, Zuo Qingya stepped on a tree branch, making a noise.

"Who's there?" The words had barely left her lips when the person appeared in front of Zuo Qingya.

Chenxuan was surprised to find a little girl in front of him.

Who are you?

Zuo Qingya held the little darling, looking somewhat innocent.

"I……"

Looking at Zuo Qingya's tattered appearance, Chen Xuan's mind began to fill in the blanks.

"You little beggar, aren't you afraid of death? You actually came to the outskirts of the Demon Realm Forest."

? ? ?

"Who is Senior Brother?" Before the words were even finished, he had already appeared in front of Zuo Qingya.

"Hey, senior brother, what's that little beggar doing here?"

Zuo Qingya didn't speak, but instead looked at the two people with a puzzled expression while holding her little darling.

"Hey, little beggar, did you see anyone camping out here just now?"

Zuo Qingya shook her head.

"I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering? Are you mute?"

Zuo Qingya continued to shake her head.

"If you're not mute, then speak up! Why are you just shaking your head?"

"I didn't see it."

"How did you get into the Demon Realm Forest?"

Zuo Qingya rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, I wanted to come in and find something to eat."

"You really aren't afraid of death." He said, tossing a money bag to Zuo Qingya.

"Here, this is for you. It should be enough for you to buy food, right?"

Zuo Qingya did not refuse, "Thank you."

"He's quite polite."

Just then, the brown bear's brother arrived.

Upon seeing a low-level demon beast approaching, the two immediately shielded Zuo Qingya behind them.

Sensing the presence of the two, the brown bear knew it was no match for them and slowly retreated, but it was too late.

"You think you can run away?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Zihan drew the sword from her back and attacked the brown bear directly.

The brown bear had no choice but to face the onslaught.

The brown bear was forced into retreat, with no chance of winning.

The battle ended only when he was cut down by a single sword strike.

Zuo Qingya witnessed the whole thing. She had worked so hard to kill the brown bear by throwing talismans, but this woman killed it with just two or three sword strikes. Zuo Qingya felt a little ashamed.

"It's alright, little sister."

Zuo Qingya did not answer, but stared at the brown bear's carcass.

Yu Zihan assumed Zuo Qingya was scared and didn't mind that Zuo Qingya was dirty. She patted Zuo Qingya on the back to comfort her.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's been resolved."
