Nangong Qing stood by the campfire, and walked to the cave entrance to look in from time to time. Half an hour passed, and Long Yixuan still didn't come back. Nangong Qing became a little restless.
"Xiao Hu, you stay here and watch over the Fire Phoenix. I'll go out and take a look!"
"Master, let me go!" Xiaohu said hurriedly, because his long hair warmed Huofeng, and she was not so cold now.
"No, I'll go. You just take care of Fire Phoenix!" Nangong Qing walked out of the cave. A white shadow appeared in front of her. Long Yixuan was holding firewood and a hare. He looked at her and was a little unhappy. "It's so cold. Why did you come out?"
"Why did you come back just now? I thought you were in danger and came out to take a look!"
When Long Yixuan heard her words, he felt warm in his heart and smiled, "It's okay, go in, it's cold outside!" After that, he walked into the cave first, and Nangong Qing followed in. Long Yixuan took out the dagger, killed the rabbit, and roasted it after cleaning it. Nangong Qing sat beside him and watched him get everything done. A warm feeling flowed through her heart. This was the first time they had been together like this.
"Are you very hungry?"
Nangong Qing shook her head, "No, what took you so long just now?"
"It was cold and I couldn't find any food, so I was delayed." He put a lot of effort into finding this hare.
"Thank you for your hard work!" She felt bad when she heard that he had been outside in the north wind for so long in order to find food.
"Eat. You must be hungry after walking all day!" Long Yixuan tore off a rabbit leg and gave it to Nangong Qing. Nangong Qing took it and started to chew it. Long Yixuan sat beside her. The campfire was crackling, but he didn't eat. He just watched Nangong Qing eat.
Little Tiger sat aside and swallowed his saliva. Although he was the descendant of a divine beast, he was not at the point of not eating. Seeing his master eating so happily, he could not help swallowing his saliva. But when he saw the skinny rabbit, which could fill both his master and him but not enough to fill his stomach, he turned his eyes away and stopped looking at it.
“Here you go!” After watching Nangong Qing finish eating, Long Yixuan handed her another rabbit leg. Nangong Qing pushed it away, “You eat it, I’m full!”
"Are you full after just eating so little?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her beautiful face. Why did she have such a small appetite?
"I've always been like this, just eat it!" He couldn't bear to eat such a small rabbit himself and saved it for her. Even though he was really hungry and not full, she would not eat his share.
"Eat more, you're too thin!" Long Yixuan stuffed the rabbit legs into her hand and ate the remaining two rabbit legs. Xiaohu swallowed her saliva. She was so hungry!
Nangong Qing ate some and felt much fuller. He watched Long Yixuan give the rabbit's body to Baihu. He only ate two rabbit legs. A grown man only ate so little. He should not be full, right?
"I'm full!" Nangong Qing looked at the half rabbit leg in her hand, "I tore this off with my hands. I haven't touched the others. You can eat it!"
Long Yixuan looked at her, his lips curled up slightly, "If you can't finish it, give it to Xiaohu, I'm not hungry!"
"Master, I'm hungry!" Xiaohu said hurriedly. Nangong Qing gave the remaining rabbit legs to Xiaohu. Seeing him eat so voraciously, she felt a little sorry. Such a big tiger must not be full if it only ate so little!
"Go to sleep, the Snow Lotus Girl will definitely not show up tonight. We'll continue looking for her tomorrow!" Long Yixuan took out a piece of clothing and threw it on the ground, then took out a quilt, which made Nangong Qing's eyes widen!
