I slept well all night.

Warm sunlight streamed through the tent, illuminating the soft couch. Golden rays fell upon Bei Yan's fluffy white cat, as if bathing it in a sacred and solemn golden light.

Jun Lin, who was training his celestial soldiers, had just stepped into the tent when he saw this scene, and his silver eyes warmed.

The little guy still shows no signs of waking up at this hour. He must be exhausted from being so noisy last night.

Alright, let the little one sleep well.

"Ah Lin, are you there?" The gentle female voice was Qing Yao's.

Bei Yan's whiskers trembled, and she groggily opened her sleepy cat eyes. Huh? It's already so bright.

Standing up straight, the cat looked up and saw Junlin with a slight frown. The words of greeting it wanted to utter suddenly caught in its throat.

This stinky man doesn't look too good; it's best not to provoke him to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Out of the corner of his eye, Junlin caught a glimpse of the little guy's retracted paws and averted eyes, and his brows furrowed even more, a wave of irritation washing over him.

Even his tone was several degrees colder than usual: "Come in!"

"Hiss." Bei Yan shivered. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that the air around her turned cold whenever that stinky man opened his mouth, and even the sunshine couldn't help.

Today, Qingyao wore a pale yellow dress, and the golden sunlight made her fair face look even more delicate and beautiful.

Looking again at the food box Qingyao was carrying, and the mouthwatering aroma of the food wafting from it, Bei Yan's eyes lit up. Suddenly, he felt that life was wonderful!

Qingyao gracefully walked towards Junlin with lotus-like steps, placed the food box on the table, and then took out the food from the box and arranged it.

The sweet and tempting pumpkin porridge, the steaming hot buns, and a few unnamed side dishes, but what attracted Bei Yan's attention the most were those three mouthwatering chicken drumsticks!

Qingyao smiled and said, "I got up early today and had nothing to do, so I made these. I hope they will suit Alin's taste."

Bei Yan stared at her, thinking, "This little beauty is beautiful inside and out! Making so many delicious things so early in the morning, she must be a fairy!"

Junlin's gaze swept over the food on the table, his silver eyes filled with a sinister intent.

"Qingyao, this is a battlefield, not a celestial palace." The voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Qingyao's body trembled as she understood the meaning of Junlin's words: he implied that she had been too extravagant and wasteful.

"Ah, Ah Lin, no, I'm just... just afraid of you..."

Qingyao tried to explain, but Junlin interrupted her: "Take everything away and distribute it to the soldiers. Don't make this mistake again."

"I...I understand. Yes, I'm sorry." Qingyao ran out of the tent with a choked voice, looking quite hurt.

Junlin was very unhappy. When he went on this expedition, Qingyao insisted on taking care of him and begged her father to allow her to come along.

Thinking back to the time I accidentally saw Qingyao and my second brother embracing, a scene full of tender affection,

Jun Lin's silver eyes were filled with endless icy coldness. If he liked his second brother, he should just say so.

I will certainly do what's best for her and call off my engagement. I'm afraid Qingyao might feel embarrassed, so I'll bring it up intentionally or unintentionally.

If there is someone you like, you won't force yourself. But this woman flatly denied it, saying that she was in love with him. Such behavior is truly disgusting.
