The sect leader was extremely efficient; in less than a day, he sent a cook to Qingyue Peak.

Mingyue and the new cook were speechless. If this brat became her cook, would she even have anything to eat?

The little girl crossed her arms, looked Mingyue up and down, and scoffed, "Nothing special."

"Alright, alright, today I'll show you the authority of a guardian."

Mingyue rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the little girl, her smile exceptionally bright.

"You! You can't hit me!"

The little girl's feet were fair and clean, with a red string tied around her ankle and a bell hanging from it. The bell jingled as she ran. Her big eyes widened in disbelief, clearly not believing that Mingyue was going to beat her up.

"No? There's nothing I can't do!"

Mingyue grabbed the little brat by the collar, letting him struggle desperately in her hands. She snorted coldly and laughed maliciously, "You little brat, you stole so many things from me, and you still dare to walk right into my trap!"

"I won't allow you to eat those things!"

It's disgusting and tastes awful!

As she spoke, the little girl turned her head and glared fiercely at Mingyue, "I don't want a guardian like you who willingly degenerates!"

Snap—

A crisp slap rang out, and the little girl froze for a second.

Snap snap snap—

A series of slaps landed on the little girl's bottom, and her big eyes instantly filled with tears. She burst into a heart-wrenching cry, "Waaah—you hit me! You actually hit me? You hit me for someone else!"

Bright Moon: ...

Mingyue tossed the little rabbit aside with a look of disgust. "Alright, what's your name?"

"I...I don't have a name..."

The little girl lay on the ground, pouting in grievance. Her guardian had violent tendencies, and her future looked bleak.

"Then you'll be called a brat."

"don't want!"

The little girl got up and glared at Mingyue accusingly, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've lost your memory. What's yours is mine. If you're not good to me now, I won't be good to you in the future!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"What?"

"I said, why should I be nice to you? What does it matter to you how you treat me in the future?"

Mingyue spoke gently, her gaze lingering on the little girl.

The little girl hadn't expected this answer, and her face flushed red. "You're my guardian, this is what you should do..."

"What's wrong with being a guardian? Does that mean you're entitled to be a guardian?"

Mingyue's shameless behavior infuriated the little girl, who remained silent for a long time, her chest heaving. It took her a while to calm down before she finally said, "A-Yue, from now on I'll be called A-Yue, and I'll follow you."

Mingyue: "Oh."

A-Yue was short, almost like a child, with a delicate face like a porcelain doll. Seeing that Mingyue had given in, she immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "You're not allowed to eat those things anymore."

Mingyue glanced at Ayue, her red lips curving slightly, "Have you lost some of your energy?"

A-Yue stiffened, her haughty expression vanishing.

"You know what the consequences of losing it are, right?"

Ah Yue's face turned even uglier. "I'll take it back!"

Mingyue shrugged, a faint tenderness in her eyes. "You've ousted my cook, remember to give me one back."

"...Can't you just not eat human food?"

What human food could possibly be worth eating?!

"What do you know? Think about how to clean up your mess."

Mingyue left Ayue behind and went straight to the tavern at the foot of the mountain, where she ordered a few dishes.

"Have you heard? Strange phenomena have appeared in the Red Fox Forest; it's likely that a treasure has appeared!"
