Xue Huan decided to do the opposite and stay to find out what the zombies that appeared with the night fog were. Pei Ji had no specific purpose; he had come here to accompany her and spend more time with her, so he naturally let her do as she pleased.
As for Zong Quan, he had already made up his mind to follow the two of them, so he gritted his teeth and stayed.
Although as time passed, he felt more and more uneasy and wanted to leave the two of them and jump into a pool of water.
His luck wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad. He wouldn't choose a pool of water that was dangerous underneath, would he? Then, perhaps he'd get lucky and find some rare treasure.
But staying here is a dead end!
The light is dim at night, and with the thick fog, it is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. People are basically blind, and their movements are definitely greatly restricted.
But the zombies hiding in the fog are completely unhindered because they do not rely on their eyes to see, but on their keen sense of smell and hearing to search for prey.
There are three of them standing here, without even a place to hide. Aren't they just waiting to be eaten by zombies?
The more Zong Quan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he couldn't concentrate on his cultivation. He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Huan and Pei Ji, only to see that they were sitting there meditating and practicing very calmly and peacefully, not worried at all about the coming night.
If he was not focused, forcing himself to practice would only cause him to lose his breath and might even go astray. Zong Quan simply stopped, stood up, walked around, and silently calculated a safe direction with the compass in his hand.
If it really doesn't work, he will jump down.
He noted the location of the chosen pool of water and walked back.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji have finished their training and are setting up the formation together.
"What are you doing?" Zong Quan asked when he saw Pei Ji burying a piece of jade full of spiritual energy into the soil under Xue Huan's command.
Xue Huan handed Pei Ji another spirit stone and pointed to a location: "Bury it here."
Then he replied: "Set up the formation."
"Miss Mo, do you know how to set up a battle formation?"
"Yeah, I know a thing or two."
"Then what kind of formation did you set up?"
"The Spiritual Hidden Formation can block other people's perception and achieve the purpose of hiding."
Zong Quan was immediately excited. "I was wondering why you two were so calm. It turns out you had a backup plan in mind. With this formation, those zombies won't be able to find us, right? Haha, great! I was right to follow you!"
Xue Huan glanced at him with a half-smile, "Really?" She saw that he seemed to be a little regretful.
Zong Quan was annoyed and hid the compass in his hand behind his back. "Of course."
The formation was set up, and Xue Huan formed a hand seal to activate the formation. A semicircular spiritual energy shield enveloped the three people. This shield would protect the three people until the spiritual energy of the formation was exhausted.
The formation's area is about eight or nine square meters, more than enough to hide three people.
Xue Huan pulled Pei Ji's hand and carefully wiped his fingers clean of the dirt. Although a small cleaning spell could solve the problem, it was better not to use magic for such intimate interactions between lovers.
Besides, Pei Ji’s hands are so beautiful. Although she is not a hand control, she doesn’t mind taking the opportunity to touch them more, otherwise it would be such a waste.
Zong Quan looked at the affectionate couple and felt hurt as a single man. He quietly moved to the corner and hugged Luo Pan tightly in his arms.
Pei Ji looked at Xue Huan with a smile and asked her, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Xue Huan heard his tone and asked, "You want to cook for me?"
"Well, I learned a few dishes and wanted to make them for you to try."
Xue Huan knew that he didn't know how to cook, and he didn't need to know how to cook. Between the two of them, she already knew how to cook. But he didn't take it for granted that he had to be the one enjoying it all the time. Instead, he also wanted to give to her.
She couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, "Okay." Xiang Xiang added, "I'll help you."
It is a collaboration between lovers and it also prevents the dishes he makes from becoming dark cuisine. Perfect!
But what surprised her was that Pei Ji was very skilled and chef-like throughout the whole process, and he was very organized. There was no need for her to intervene at all, as he could handle it all by himself.
It is said that serious men are the most attractive. Xue Huan now feels it. If there wasn't a light bulb next to her, she really wanted to hug him from behind and turn herself into a pendant on him.
In fact, Pei Jiyuan was not as calm as he appeared. Bathed in Xue Huan's shining eyes, his heartbeat gradually became unbalanced, and the tips of his ears turned red. At one point, he even almost put the wrong seasoning in.
Only when the meal was finally ready did Pei Ji's tense body relax.
"Wow! That's great! It looks delicious." Xue Huan held her heart with her hands and drooled. No matter how her boyfriend cooked, she had to praise him first.
Pei Ji tried not to show a smug expression, but a smile still appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He handed over a set of bowls and chopsticks, "Try it."
He made three dishes and one soup: shrimp and egg custard, braised winter melon, vinegar fish, and cabbage and fish ball soup.
The egg custard is bright yellow with a layer of amber soup on the surface. It is smooth and has no holes. It is garnished with a tender red shrimp. It can be said that it is very successful.
Although this is a very simple dish, it is not easy to achieve this level. It requires many times of practice.
Xue Huan scooped a spoonful of egg custard into her mouth and tasted it carefully. It was a little salty, probably because she added too much salt, but it was still delicious.
She tasted several other dishes one by one. Although they were still a long way from perfect, she felt that his thoughtfulness alone could completely make up for those minor shortcomings.
She put down her chopsticks and gave full approval to these dishes, "They are all delicious."
Pei Ji's smile widened, "As long as you like it."
Zong Quan couldn't wait to eat, "Can we eat now?"
Pei Ji ignored him, served a bowl of rice to Xue Huan and himself, then sat down and started eating.
Zong Quan looked at the empty desk in front of him, a row of question marks appeared on his forehead, "Brother Nan, this..."
Pei Ji scooped a bowl of soup for Xue Huan and even added a few fish balls. He put it down and said, "Brother, didn't you bring any dry food? If not, I have a few leftover steamed buns here. You can have some."
He took out a paper bag, which contained a few steamed buns that had become cold and hard, but were still fresh.
Zong Quan looked at the steamed buns, then at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This Nan Tang was too cruel and lacked love for his companions. He and Miss Mo were enjoying hot soup and hot dishes, but they made me eat dry food?
It's simply... outrageous!
However, it is a favor to give him the food that others cook for him, and it is not their fault if they don't give it to him.
But it would be strange if Zong Quan was willing to give up just like that.
