Xu Milu handed the plate to Fanny, and then scooped a large spoonful of stewed meat into the plate in front of her—definitely not the way a modern cafeteria aunt serves food, but a solid, heavy spoonful.
Although it was already the seventh day of the expedition, they had only moved forward less than ten kilometers. The small monster lairs in the surrounding area had been almost completely wiped out. The fire lizard, her dinner ingredient for today, was one of the prey that the knights had been given to her.
