Thinking of this, she glanced at the boy who was sleeping soundly and without any guard.
"Fine, whether you are human or demon, you saved my life and have done me a favor. As long as you don't commit any great evil, I, Murong Yu, will protect you without going against my conscience..."
Thinking this way, I felt much more at ease.
"Since it would save a complete stranger like me, then even if it's a demon, it must be a good demon."
Murong Yu pondered to himself.
Yes, in Murong Yu's mind, Mu Qing had already been classified as inhuman, since it was impossible for a person to fall from a height of several hundred meters unharmed.
Murong Yu got up, looked around, went into the woods and caught a pheasant and a rabbit.
After clearing the stream and collecting dry branches from the woods to start a fire and roast meat, Mu Qing woke up to the aroma of meat.
He opened his eyes, a flash of green light appearing in them before quickly returning to darkness. He propped himself up, sat up, and stretched lazily.
The discomfort I felt yesterday has disappeared, and I feel very comfortable. As I circulate my internal energy, I discover that my superpower has been upgraded, and I am overjoyed.
"Indeed, the ancient forests were a paradise for wood-type ability users..." Mu Qing thought to himself.
She stood up, parted the surrounding grass and went outside. She saw a tall man sitting by the river, roasting chicken and rabbit until they were golden brown. The aroma of the meat wafted over on the wind, and Mu Qing couldn't help but swallow.
Murong Yu: "Let me introduce myself, I am Murong Yu. Just wait a moment, go wash up and come eat with me."
Murong Yu was elegant and naturally noble, yet he did not give people a sense of distance.
Mu Qing: "I am Mu Qing. I'm going to pick some fruit so we can eat together later."
Murong Yu: "Okay."
Mu Qing felt that the name Murong Yu was familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where the original owner of this body had heard it before, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Upon entering the woods, Mu Qing used his special ability to quickly find a clump of wild grapes. He then used his ability to fly over and picked six of the largest and darkest-colored bunches of grapes.
The soil in the forest was fertile, but the wild grapes were only the size of peanuts, a deep purple-black. Mu Qing circulated wood energy, and green light enveloped the grapes. When the light dissipated, each grape was a deep black, the size of a pigeon egg, and six bunches weighed about ten pounds.
They packed the grass into baskets and hurried back.
When Mu Qing returned to the stream, Murong Yu's roasted chicken and rabbit were already ready.
Mu Qing: "I'll go wash up first, you eat first."
Murong Yu: "Okay."
Although he was very hungry, he still waited for Mu Qing to come back so they could eat together.
When Mu woke up, he realized that the place was very familiar; it was near the cave where he had been before.
Walking along the stream, you'll turn a corner and see the cave where you stayed for several months.
I pushed aside the vines at the cave entrance and went inside, soaking in the cave's hot spring. I scooped up a handful of water to wash my face, and the skin felt smooth and supple to the touch.
Mu Qing was taken aback, a sense of "I knew it!" washing over him. The Wood element governs life; as his power upgrades, he'll become increasingly...impressive...
Looking down at my reflection in the water, I saw that my skin was indeed getting better and better—fair, radiant, smooth, and supple, possessing a beauty that defied masculinity...
"Just as I thought, the higher the level of one's superpower, the more handsome one becomes. Hmm... he's really good-looking..." Mu Qing thought smugly.
Mu Qing is a sucker for good looks. Although he wouldn't admit that the reason he chose to save Murong Yu was partly because he was attracted to Murong Yu's good looks.
Mu Qing washed and dried her clothes in the water, then came out wearing the blue robe again. She had no choice; she only had one set of clothes to change into. The other set was pure white, which she wore during the mourning period, but it would be too conspicuous to wear it outside. So she decided to wear the blue robe instead.
What Mu Qing didn't know was that his face was covered up, making him even more conspicuous than when he was wearing plain clothes.
Seeing the person approaching, Murong Yu called out, "Brother Mu Qing, come and eat!"
Mu Qing: "They're here..."
Mu Qing walked to Murong Yu's side and saw that the food, cut into pieces and untouched, was waiting for him to eat together.
Without saying much, she smiled and sat down to eat with Murong Yu.
He practices wood energy, which means he doesn't get hungry even if he doesn't eat, but he still craves food.
However, a vegetarian diet is better for him than a meat-based diet.
Murong Yu handed the large chicken leg to Mu Qing, who cut a small piece with a green leaf and said, "This is enough for me, you eat it."
Seeing that Mu Qing only ate so little, Murong Yu became even more convinced that the other party was not human.
This is a huge misunderstanding...
Mu Qing only ate a small piece of the roast chicken and roast rabbit; the rest were eaten by Murong Yu.
After finishing the barbecue, Mu Qing took out the washed grapes.
