It's quite hot everywhere in June.
However, in the outermost city of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, Xue Qianyu and Cheng Huaijin still led their men to guard the area, returning every few days, while Gu Xin trained troops in the royal city.
On this day, Ali, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, returned, bringing with her a letter from Lu Zheng.
After reading the letter, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom smiled and thought, "This kid is quite capable!"
He glanced at the sky outside; it was time for dinner, so he stopped calling Xinxin to come back.
The kitchen had prepared a table full of dishes, and Gu Xin came in following the aroma.
She was covered in sweat, but didn't bother to wash up. Since she was going to get all sweaty again while eating, she figured she might as well eat first, then wash up and go to sleep.
"Uncle Jun, aren't the spices I told you about amazing? They completely mask the gamey smell of beef and mutton, making it absolutely delicious!" Gu Xin washed her hands and wiped her face before sitting down at the table, saying proudly.
"That's not something you know! Your sister taught you. Your sister is the real expert!" The King of Liusha couldn't help but tease her, seeing her smug little face.
"My sister is amazing, that's why I'm amazing! We sisters are all in this together, sharing both glory and loss. Uncle Jun, you only have one sister, you don't understand sisterly love, hehe!" Gu Xin wasn't going to be discouraged.
"You brat. Ah Hai is right, you're a sharp-tongued girl. You always stab people in the back where they're uncomfortable!" the King of Liusha said irritably.
He only has one older sister, and they haven't seen each other for over ten years. This brat doesn't care about his fragile heart at all.
"Hehehe, who told you to try and sow discord between us sisters!" Gu Xin picked up a piece of braised beef, chewed it, and said, "Uncle Jun, you were in the Goddess Kingdom when you were young, and in the Quicksand Kingdom when you grew up, so you probably don't know. Families with many sisters have a lot of conflicts. If you said that in a family with conflicts between sisters, the younger sister would think that the older sister is so great, and she would be jealous. Luckily, you're talking to our family. In our family, if you say who's great, everyone's happy. Whoever is great proves that our Gu family's children are great."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom rolled his eyes at her. "I'm older than your father, how could I not understand?"
Gu Xin ate a lot of meat. There weren't many kinds of vegetables here, but there were tomatoes and cucumbers, so it wasn't too greasy for her.
She eats a lot and sweats a lot every day, but she hasn't gained weight; she's only grown taller. She would be perfectly satisfied if she didn't gain weight in that other area.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom watched Gu Xin eat heartily as if she were his own child. He always felt that watching the little girl eat made him feel full even without eating himself.
Back when he was a teenager, he could eat just as much.
"Uncle Jun, don't just watch me eat! Eat some too! Although you can't eat as much meat and fish as I do and have to follow the recipes I give you, it looks delicious watching me eat, doesn't it? It makes your rice taste better too," Gu Xin said with a grin.
"You little brat, you make me eat all that rich food every day while I eat such bland food, don't you have any conscience!" The King of Liusha glared at Gu Xin.
“Uncle Jun! You’re wrong. I’m doing this for your own good! You’ve been king of the desert for years and have developed many hidden ailments. We don’t have enough medicinal herbs here, so we can only treat you slowly. Let me tell you, my great-grandmother is over seventy years old, and she obediently follows the diet we’ve prepared. I want my great-grandmother to live to be a hundred!” Gu Xin said.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you. I'll try to live to be a hundred years old, and then I'll fight with your parents to hold your great-great-grandchild!" The King of Liusha smiled helplessly, and then obediently ate his single meal.
