Their lips met, but unlike before, they didn't part after a single kiss.

Instead, they stayed a little longer.

They just separated.

She said earnestly

You can always be the same as before.

Hua Wu listened intently, his body stiffening, and looked up at her.

Then, after making eye contact with her, I silently looked away again.

Yan Yan would never have kissed him like this before.

Yes, that's fine too.

That's what he was thinking.

A voice came from outside the door.

"Master, young lady, I have already booked a room for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them stepped down from the carriage, one after the other.

Ying glanced at it furtively.

Their own sect leader was being led by this Miss Su Yan.

I don't know what happened in the carriage, but the leader not only looked to be in good health, but also seemed to be in a good mood.

Ying felt a little relieved.

As long as the cult leader doesn't get into trouble, everything else is negotiable.

Upon entering the inn, we did not go directly to our room.

Instead, he found a table by the window and sat down.

Su Yan asked

What would you like to eat?

Hua Wuqing

"Meat buns".

Su Yan looked at the menu for a while.

I looked up at the shadow standing next to me.

Speak

What do you think, Shadow?

"I think it's best to keep it light, and black chicken soup, which is good for replenishing the body after a long journey, is also acceptable."

Su Yan nodded

Looking at the waiter standing beside him, he said...

"Give me a plate of stir-fried greens, two bowls of plain noodles, and some stewed black chicken soup."

As she spoke, she looked up at the shadow.

"you······"

Ying hurriedly said

"I have already used it on the way, so you don't need to bother, young lady."

Su Yan nodded.

Looking at the waiter

That's all.

In contrast, Hua Wuqing seemed to have little enthusiasm for these things.

Su Yan asked

Plain noodles or millet porridge?

Hua Wuqing thought about it carefully for a while.

"Yangchun noodles".

Neither of them taste as good as meat buns.

It doesn't matter which one you eat.

Su Yan reached out and took Hua Wuqing's hand.

Hua Wuqing seemed to be in a better mood.

Then, he stood up and sat down next to Su Yan.

Yes, I feel much better now.

Sure enough, I only feel good when I'm with Yanyan.

The food arrived quickly.

Before the meal, Su Yan first ladled a bowl of black chicken soup for him.

Then, he served himself a bowl as well.

Fortunately, he wasn't picky.

They'll eat whatever they're given.

He quickly finished the bowl of black chicken soup.

He then picked up his chopsticks and began eating his bowl of plain noodles.

He's still not very skilled at using chopsticks.

Especially when picking up noodles, the noodles always slip down.

This happened several times, and then I heard a snap.

Hua Wuqing's noodle bowl was shattered into pieces, lying there upright like a flower in bloom.

Su Yan noticed his rather depressed expression.

She said

"Want some vegetarian steamed buns?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuqing raised her head.

"eat"

Although vegetarian buns are not as delicious as meat buns.

But it tastes much better than these noodles.

That's what he was thinking.

The evening's meal ended with Hua Wuqing enjoying her vegetarian steamed buns in a pleasant mood.

When they went to sleep at night, Su Yan and Hua Wuqing each had their own room.

This time, Hua Wuqing surprisingly didn't insist on sharing a room with Su Yan.

Su Yan woke up several times while sleeping that night.

I guess it's because I've gotten used to sleeping with him and now that he doesn't come over, I feel a little uncomfortable.

It takes half a month to travel from the demonic cult's stronghold to the small village.

The shadow drove the carriage slowly.

So much so that by the time they were almost there, it had already been a month.

The sun shone brightly that day.

A bustling market street.

They stopped in front of an inn.

Shadows and Sounds

"Master, young lady, if you go south after leaving this town, you'll reach that small village."
