When Mu Cheng woke up in the morning, he was already in the room of the wooden house and had changed his clothes.
She searched in her mental space and found Tang Nuo in the kitchen, who was making breakfast.
Mu Cheng went into the bathroom to wash up, then walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. She hugged Tang Nuo from behind and leaned her whole body against his back.
"You're awake." Tang Nuo smiled and said softly, "Go wash up and get ready for dinner."
"I have washed it."
"Then let go and eat."
"Oh!" Mu Cheng responded and let him go obediently.
After serving the food, Tang Nuo grabbed Mu Cheng's hand, pulled up her sleeve, and asked, "Why is there something on your arm? I didn't see it when I entered the space last night."
"Huh!" Mu Cheng also looked at the totem in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face. "I don't know where it came from either."
Tang Nuo said, "This should be the totem of the contracted beast. Cheng'er, feel it and see if you can connect it to something."
Mu Cheng tried it and actually felt a small fiery red bird.
"Who are you?"
"Master, I am Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng is still very weak after being born and cannot communicate with you too much."
"Uh!" Mu Cheng looked at Tang Nuo helplessly. "It's a bird called Xiao Feng. It said it was just born and can't communicate with me too much."
"Bird." Tang Nuo pondered for a moment and said aloud, "Could it be the giant egg in the hot spring pool?"
Mu Cheng immediately released his mental power to check the hot spring pool. There was no egg in the pool, only some eggshells sinking to the bottom of the water.
"It should be." Mu Cheng looked at her arm and had many questions to ask, but Xiao Feng ignored her. She could only look at Tang Nuo, "Anuo, how do you know this is a contracted beast totem?"
Tang Nuo took off his T-shirt and turned around. There was also a white totem on his back where his shoulder blades were. It was a smaller version of Xiao Jiu.
In fact, this was not the first time the two of them were honest with each other, but Mu Cheng had not really paid attention to Tang Nuo's back, so she did not know that there was a totem on his back.
Mu Cheng touched the totem that seemed to be growing in his hand and asked, "When did you make a contract with Xiao Jiu?"
"I was born with it." Tang Nuo replied, put on his clothes, and handed her the chopsticks. "Hurry up and eat. Everyone is waiting for us to gather downstairs."
Mu Cheng didn't ask any more questions. The first time Tang Nuo saw Xiao Jiu, he felt that Xiao Jiu was looking for him, so it was not surprising that he was born with this totem. She lowered her head and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Then another question came to her mind, so she looked up and asked, "If you were born with it, how did you become a soldier?"
"This totem really worried my parents when I was little. We saw many doctors, and the hospital tried many methods to remove it, but they couldn't find any." Tang Nuo picked up some food for Mu Cheng and then said, "I got into the military academy because of the commander's help. The commander knew it was a birthmark, not a tattoo, so he was willing to help."
Mu Cheng grinned, "So you got into the military academy through the back door."
"It's true that he got into the military academy through the backdoor, but all the military achievements your man has have been earned by himself." Tang Nuo reached out and patted Mu Cheng's head. "Eat quickly."
"Oh!" Mu Cheng responded, lowered his head and started eating.
When the two finished their meal and went downstairs, the others had already cleaned up. There were more than 20 military trucks and five military armored vehicles parked in the devastated yard. Everyone had worked together to lift the mutant bird's body into the car, intending to take it back together.
Mu Cheng and Ye Yuan had reached an agreement yesterday. She wanted feathers, beak, and claws, and Ye Yuan wanted meat.
After a few people discussed the route, they got in the car and set off.
This time they took the same route they came. Although there was another better route, that route would go around a big circle in the mountains. For safety reasons, they chose to take the shorter route.
