Qin Qiu blinked – his eyes were a little dry from staring at Xiong Ying for so long.
Ye Nianzhen stood on tiptoe and tapped his head: "Two hours!"
Qin Qiu didn't really understand.
Yeh Nien-chen had explained the concept of "time" to him, but the flow of time in his world seemed to be different from that of others.
A leopard lying on a hill, watching the sun rise and set every day, could never understand the human sense of urgency regarding time.
But he could sense Ye Nianzhen's worry, so he nodded: "I will be careful."
Qin Qiu's situation is indeed special. If it weren't for this unknown environment, Ye Nianzhen wouldn't have interfered too much.
It seems that besides clothes, he also needs a watch.
"Alright, we should go back now, everyone will be worried."
"But..." Qin Qiu seemed to have something to say.
Ye Nianzhen looked up at him and realized that the guy was empty-handed and had not brought any prey.
She looked down at the eggs in her hand; they were only a few ostrich eggs, not enough to fill her stomach.
She sighed and put the eggs in the car.
It seems they'll have to hunt for themselves, but luckily they have "coolies."
Ye Nianzhen took out the mirror ball from her spatial storage and released Mu Guang.
This had happened several times during the journey. After Mu Guang came out, he vomited as if it were a familiar routine, wiped his mouth, and looked at Ye Nianzhen with a gloomy expression.
His originally fair cheeks appeared slightly sallow, making him look like an employee exploited by a ruthless company.
"What are you up to this time?" he asked menacingly.
—The first time was when I asked him to pull a car that was stuck in a crack in the ground.
The second task was to have him dig through the road that had been buried by a landslide.
The third time, he was asked to dissect the foul-smelling, mutated bison.
The most despicable thing is! The most despicable thing is!
They feed him the tenderest and most flavorful cuts of pork tenderloin, and even give him beef hooves!
Is that thing edible?!
The key point is that he actually ate it; otherwise, he would have starved to death.
This woman really went to any lengths to torment him!
He had always thought that the woman must have some purpose in keeping him alive and wouldn't let him die easily.
But now, he was 100% uncertain, because the woman's gaze clearly conveyed: use her if she can, kill her if she can't.
It's like looking at a useless dog!
Ignoring Mu Guang's resentful gaze, Ye Nianzhen pointed at the eagle circling in the sky.
"Take it back to eat."
Concise and to the point, with clear expression.
Mu Guang glanced at the distance and rolled his eyes.
"What do you take me for, an arrow of the God of Light? How could I possibly reach you from that far away!"
Moreover, he was constantly going hungry and was tortured by being locked inside a mirror.
Ye Nianzhen took out a crossbow and pointed it at his throat: "Go, or you'll become a ghost under the arrow right now."
Mu Guang gritted his teeth; he knew this woman's purpose.
Each time, they would weaken his power to the point of being unable to resist, then force him to transform into the form of light and trap him inside the mirror sphere.
This cycle continued, tormenting his body and mind.
But he was helpless; the woman always kept that illogically strong man by her side, and he couldn't fight back.
If he tries to escape, the woman activates the mirror ball.
The distinctive metallic sound of the doors opening and closing made his teeth ache, and the memory of the terrifying feeling of being locked inside made him feel weak all over.
They couldn't win in a fight, and they couldn't escape either.
What else can we do?
He spat out the blood and foam that had come out of his mouth from excessive vomiting and mustered all his strength.
Suddenly, his figure transformed into an arrow that pierced the sky, piercing the throat of the bear-eagle in the air with a single strike.
The eagle's corpse plummeted down, and Mu Guang, exhausted, reverted to human form and followed it down.
Just as he was about to crash heavily to the ground, Ye Nianzhen finally said to Qin Qiu as if it were a favor, "Don't let him die."
Qin Qiu's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a small wisp of dust.
When they reappeared, they had caught the falling person and brought him back to Ye Nianzhen's side.
Qin Qiu has never shown any pity for men, and simply threw Mu Guang to the ground.
Mu Guang's eyes were tightly closed; he appeared to have fainted.
To be on the safe side, Ye Nianzhen kicked the person on the ground a few times with her toes, but the person on the ground did not react.
Judging by appearance alone, no one would think that Mu Guang is a person with a wicked heart.
Even his slightly youthful features and soft, slightly curly beige hair made him look like an innocent puppy.
It can easily arouse affection.
Who would have guessed that a demon resided inside the puppy's eyes when it opened them?
*
Mu Guang had a terrible dream.
In his dream, he fell straight down from a great height, crashing to the ground and turning into a lump of "tomato sauce".
The woman with the sinister smile scooped him up and put him in a stew pot, where she made a very fragrant soup.
...
Wait, it really does smell delicious.
He struggled to break free from the dream, and when he opened his eyes, Ye Nianzhen shoved a bowl of soup in front of him.
"Still alive?"
Mu Guang gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Thanks to you."
"Drink it while you're alive, bear paw soup, it's very nourishing."
Mu Guangcai didn't believe the woman was genuinely kind enough to give him bear paws; it was probably just some scraps he couldn't finish.
When the ridiculously large bowl was brought over, there really was a whole bear paw inside.
This time, he thought it must be because the bear paw was hard to eat, and he was smug about it.
He would pretend to take a bite so as not to fall for the woman's trick.
When he tasted it, the meat was soft and tender, with a perfect balance of lean and fat, so delicious that he almost bit his tongue.
He looked up at the woman with suspicion.
