The first rays of sunlight in the morning bring brilliant and dazzling colors, warming people's hearts.
Feng Qingcheng, Zhuge Nanfeng, and Xiao Youwang, accompanied by the people from the Prince An's Mansion, headed towards the Twilight Forest.
The road ahead was winding and there was no way to take a carriage, so the three of them rode horses.
Su Yang, accompanied by more than a dozen Xuanhuang experts, followed behind the three to protect them.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed, and dust billowed everywhere.
Long Moyuan learned of Feng Qingcheng's departure two hours later.
Wu Fu personally performed acupuncture on him, but his technique was really clumsy.
"Where is A-Cheng?" Long Moyuan asked calmly.
Wu Fu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, the Princess Consort went out to find medicine for you. She said you are missing a certain herb."
Where did she go to look?
"It's in the city. The princess said she'll first try her luck at the major pharmacies, and if she can't find it there, she'll try her luck at Medicine King Valley. Medicine King Valley is full of low-level magical beasts, and besides, Young Master Zhuge and the Poison Sect are protecting her, so you don't need to worry."
It was because of those two guys that he was worried.
Help me up.
"My lord, the princess has repeatedly told me that you need acupuncture for two more days before you can use a wheelchair. If she comes back tonight and finds that your injury has worsened, she will definitely be angry. You don't want her to be angry, do you?"
Long Moyuan gritted his teeth, "Afu, are you lying?"
Wu Fu bowed his head almost to the ground. "Your Highness, that's what the Princess said."
Feng Qingcheng did indeed make Wu Fu lie to Long Moyuan.
"Then why didn't she tell me?"
"The princess said that Your Highness was sleeping soundly this morning and she dared not disturb your sweet dreams."
Long Moyuan held his breath.
"Your Highness, you must listen to the Princess's arrangements. In two more days you will be able to use a wheelchair. If you continue with acupuncture for a few more days, you will be able to stand up."
Long Moyuan remained silent.
"Sir, shall I continue to perform acupuncture on you? Although my technique is a bit clumsy, I was personally taught by the Princess, and she praised my medical talent."
"A swift and decisive victory."
Does this mean the master has agreed?
Wu Fu was overjoyed and immediately got up to continue giving Long Moyuan acupuncture.
"The princess is amazing."
Anyway, just praise the princess even more.
It must have been quite difficult for the newlyweds, with the prince and princess separated.
If the princess returns in three to five days, that's fine. But if it takes longer, will the prince skin her alive?
How terrifying.
...
After walking for three hours, Feng Qingcheng found the road too difficult to travel, and even her horse could no longer move.
Feng Qingcheng finally spotted a small patch of flat land, so she instructed everyone to rest there, let the horses graze to replenish their energy, and leave the food to them.
Zhuge Nanfeng looked at the forest and became interested. "Qingcheng, would you like to eat wild rabbit or pheasant?"
Feng Qingcheng swallowed hard. "Yes."
"Wait here." Zhuge Nanfeng took a bow and arrows from his horse. "I'll go hunting for you."
Xiao Wangyou said, "Since Acheng wants to eat wild game, then I'll go too."
After saying that, he also took out his bow and arrows.
Feng Qingcheng said, "I'll go with you."
Self-reliance leads to abundance.
“Alright, follow me, I’ll protect you.” Nanfeng patted his chest.
Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but advise, "Your Highness, the journey to the Twilight Forest is long, so don't waste your energy."
The old man brought a lot of meat from the palace, but Feng Qingcheng disliked him and ignored him.
"princess."
Seeing that the others ignored him, Su Yang couldn't help but feel both angry and ashamed.
Nanfeng made a face at him, "Detective Su, you're getting old and your stamina isn't what it used to be. We're young and our stamina is top-notch."
Su Yang was so angry that her face turned green.
Even Xiao Wangyou joined in the joke, "Lord Su, you should direct everyone to start a fire and cook. Starting a fire at night might attract monsters. This is the best time of day to cook."
Su Yang's complexion worsened.
How did he, a renowned detective, become someone who directs cooking?
Thinking of Xiao Wangyou's identity, and considering his recent favor with the emperor, he turned away and ignored the brats.
Hmph, once he gets the Demon Emperor Grass, he'll go solo.
"My lord, ten families have joined the competition for the Demon Emperor Grass, and the Crown Prince has also sent people to snatch it."
Su Yang received the message from her subordinate and couldn't help but smile coldly.
Excellent! The more people the better. We can seize the Demon Emperor Grass amidst the chaos and frame one of the families. No one will suspect him, after all, he is the famous Detective Su.
"Continue the investigation, and report back immediately if anything comes up." He made a communication talisman and sent it out.
...
"rabbit!"
"Two big, fat rabbits."
Upon seeing the rabbits, Nanfeng excitedly shouted, nocked two arrows on his bow, and declared, "Qingcheng, let me show you how I can shoot two rabbits with one arrow!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the arrow flew, Nanfeng grinned and boasted to Feng Qingcheng beside him, "My archery skills are unparalleled. Hurry up and go pick up the rabbit."
Feng Qingcheng looked at him like he was an idiot. "Ah Feng, you missed."
The two rabbits had long since disappeared.
Nanfeng smiled and said, "Impossible. I never miss a shot. They were already lying down, and the weeds have buried them."
Feng Qingcheng didn't want to talk to an idiot.
This guy was so arrogant, trying to draw the bow without using his spiritual power. Well, he got slapped in the face, didn't he?
"I'll fly over and retrieve it right away. Wait here."
After Nanfeng finished speaking, he used his lightness skill to fly towards the target direction.
Nanfeng searched around but couldn't find the rabbits he had shot. Could they have run away after being hit by arrows?
The only explanation is that he missed.
He wanted to make a good impression on Qingcheng, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.
"Qingcheng, it was a typo, a typo," Nanfeng explained awkwardly.
"Stand still, don't move."
At this moment, Feng Qingcheng's clear and cold voice rang out, and Nanfeng dared not move again.
Soon, two sharp arrows flew past his ears. With a 'whoosh' sound, two rabbits not far behind him fell to the ground.
Nanfeng turned around in shock.
"Wow, Xiao Wangyou's archery skills are amazing. The arrow wounds on both rabbits were just three inches from their thighs. God, even magic couldn't make such perfect shots."
Nanfeng happily picked up the two rabbits and looked at Feng Qingcheng, "Where is Xiaowangyouren?"
"This was shot by me."
"What?"
The south wind was immediately thrown into disarray.
Qingcheng said that she shot those two rabbits!
She has no spiritual power and cannot use magic at all, so how could she do it?
"Wow, Qingcheng, you're amazing! Killing two rabbits with one arrow, you're a true archer!" Nanfeng, ever the opportunist, immediately tried to please Feng Qingcheng.
"So, behave yourself in front of your sister from now on. Even without spiritual power, she can still destroy you, understand?"
Qingcheng is still that arrogant young lady.
No, she's even more outrageous than before.
She used to look at him with cold eyes, but now she's actually humiliating him.
Waaah, I don't want to live anymore.
Xiao Wangyou then walked over carrying a few pheasants.
"Ah Cheng, it seems you've had a good haul too." Xiao Wangyou smiled as he looked at the two rabbits in Nanfeng's hands.
"That's enough to eat. Let's go back and make a barbecue."
Soon, everyone watched as Feng Qingcheng personally plucked the feathers of a pheasant and skinned a rabbit, her skillful techniques broadening their horizons.
But after thinking about it, everyone quickly understood.
In the past six months, the young lady has become useless, learning to do such vulgar work.
She lived worse than a servant in the general's mansion.
Alas, things have changed.
Everyone shook their heads.
A genius young lady becomes a useless cook after being turned into a cook; it's a truly tragic story.
I can't even bear to look at it.
"Qingcheng, is this the kind of life you've been living in the General's Mansion for the past six months?" Nanfeng couldn't help but cry. Before him appeared Feng Qingcheng dressed in the rough clothes of a maid, cooking for everyone day and night in the General's Mansion.
Xiao Wangyou couldn't help but feel sorry for him and said, "Acheng, let me borrow your spirit. It will be faster to deal with it using magic."
Feng Qingcheng said nonchalantly, "No need, just use magic to start a fire."
Feng Qingcheng cleaned the five pheasants and two rabbits, then took out a lot of seasonings from her space to brush them on before putting them on a rack to slowly roast.
"Ah Cheng, you've worked so hard, sob sob. If I had known, I would have come back half a year ago to save you from your dire situation."
Nanfeng often acted erratically, and Feng Qingcheng was used to it and didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Laughing Forget-Worry, use your magic to make this charcoal fire burn brighter."
"good."
Xiao Wangyou fueled the charcoal fire, and Feng Qingcheng quickly flipped the rack.
The meat, already fragrant from being cooked over charcoal, was further enhanced by the chili powder sprinkled on it by Feng Qingcheng, making the aroma travel far and wide and whetting everyone's appetite.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
Princess An's cooking skills are superb.
The meat sizzled as it roasted, and soon the rabbit and chicken meat turned a deep reddish-brown, their skin quickly turning golden brown.
Nanfeng's mouth was already watering. "Qingcheng, when can we eat?"
Feng Qingcheng brushed on another layer of oil and sprinkled salt evenly. "Almost done."
"I wish I could swallow it whole." Nanfeng drooled without any regard for appearances.
Even Xiao Wangyou couldn't help but swallow hard, "I never expected Acheng to have such skills."
Feng Qingcheng was secretly delighted; she knew so many things.
Once in the wild, it's practically her second home.
I'm starting to miss my past life.
"alright."
Feng Qingcheng took out a tablecloth and placed the roast chicken and wild rabbit on it.
"I'll eat this one." Nanfeng grabbed a chicken first and took a bite without saying a word.
"Hot and spicy."
Nanfeng was too impatient to finish the roast chicken, but he couldn't bear to spit out the meat, so he could only open his mouth wide, with smoke still rising from it.
"Mmm, delicious."
The south wind blew in hastily, and tears were almost welling up in my eyes.
This time he learned his lesson and blew on it first before taking a big bite.
Wow!
It's so delicious!
It was a little spicy.
He doesn't usually eat spicy food!
Seeing this, Xiao Wangyou couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He then used magic to cool down the roasted rabbit and handed it to Feng Qingcheng, saying, "Acheng, eat it."
Feng Qingcheng smiled and took a bite.
The roasted rabbit was neither greasy nor gamey; it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat that left her mouth greasy.
"Holy crap, Xiao Wangyou, you actually know ice magic. Come on, cool me down."
Xiao Wangyou also used ice magic on his roast chicken.
This time, Nanfeng can finally eat chicken to his heart's content.
The delicious taste reached the tip of the tongue, and the mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, making Nanfeng keep saying how delicious it was.
Seeing that the two were so engrossed in eating that they didn't even bother to wipe the oil from their mouths, Xiao Wangyou picked up a roast chicken, cast a spell, and took a bite.
Crispy, tender, savory, and spicy.
In an instant, all the flavors reach the tip of your tongue, filling your mouth with the aroma of meat.
Xiao Wangyou felt he had never eaten such delicious food before. Always particular about his eating manners, he followed Nanfeng and the other two and began to gnaw on the food with big bites.
Feng Qingcheng ate a roasted rabbit and a roasted chicken, and her belly was round and bulging.
She wiped her mouth, feeling as if she had tasted the most delicious flavor in the world.
This is truly an endless feast for the senses!
It's so delicious!
The aroma wafted into Su Yang and the others' nostrils, making everyone's mouths water.
They all regretted not going hunting with the princess earlier; otherwise, they could be enjoying a delicious roast meat right now.
Nanfeng and Xiaowangyou fought over the last roast chicken. In their struggle to get a piece of meat, they each used their special skills. In the end, the roast chicken was split in two, and peace was restored to the world.
"Ah Cheng, here you go." Xiao Wangyou handed it to Feng Qingcheng.
Feng Qingcheng shook her head. "I'm already full."
After finishing her meal, Nanfeng couldn't help but cry, "Waaah, Acheng, this is the best roast meat I've ever eaten. You don't know, the food at Xuantian Sect is terrible, especially for us new disciples. The food we eat every day is no different from pig swill."
"Isn't it said that the Xuantian Sect has the best food?"
The meat of various monsters isn't delicious?
Nanfeng cried out, "It's a rumor, a complete rumor! The masters said that if we want to advance in rank sooner, we must control our diet. Sometimes we only eat vegetables, and even pigs wouldn't eat those vegetables. Even when we eat monster meat, it's all stewed until it's mushy, without any seasoning. It's really disgusting."
That bad?
Feng Qingcheng immediately developed a dislike for the Xuantian Sect.
She never wants to go to the Xuantian Sect again.
She's picky even when it comes to food.
She never wanted to experience the days in her past life when she ate nothing but steamed buns for days on end.
Just as the group had finished eating and drinking and were about to set off, they suddenly realized something was wrong.
A restless sound came from all around the grove.
"Oh my god, could it be a monster tide?" Nanfeng exclaimed in shock.
Feng Qingcheng said, "It's probably this roasted meat that caused the magical beasts to become agitated, so everyone quickly set off."
Everyone jumped onto their horses, spurred them on, and quickly departed.
As soon as they crossed a hillside, they heard the howls of various magical beasts coming from behind them.
Nanfeng patted his chest. "Qingcheng, does that mean we can't eat barbecue anymore?"
That's such a shame.
Feng Qingcheng laughed and said, "Why not eat? We can always eat first and then run away."
Xiao Wangyou said, "You can behave during the day, but be quiet at night."
Su Yang felt a surge of hatred upon hearing this.
Hmph, just because they were greedy, they almost became food for the monsters!
Three hours later, the mountain path became increasingly difficult to traverse, and further uphill, it would require climbing.
The group had no choice but to find a flat spot and set up camp to rest.
As for the horses, let them go free.
“This place is relatively safe. At night, apart from the princess, everyone will take turns keeping watch in pairs, with each pair keeping watch for three hours.” Su Yang started to act like a big shot.
No one objected, but Feng Qingcheng said, "When we're out and about, I won't give you any special treatment. So, I'll keep watch with Detective Su for three hours, and everyone else can go to sleep."
