On the other side, when Mu Yunye and his companions were fighting desperately against the Fiery Silver Lion, it suddenly ran away. Since several of them were injured and they could not defeat it, they did not continue to chase it.
After seeing Situ Mo and Jiang He make a contract with the spirit beast, Xiao Liyue prepared to leave the cave with a few people, but was stopped at the cave entrance by the mother of the young beast, the Fiery Silver Lion.
"Roar... You little monks actually dared to secretly contract my children while I was fighting the enemy." The Fiery Silver Lion roared.
Gu Qinghan and the others looked at the returning Fiery Silver Lion and drew their magic swords.
Xiao Liyue walked up to the Fiery Silver Lion without fear and said, "Your child has signed a master-servant contract with them. If you kill us, your child will die too. Moreover, even if we don't contract them, the next batch of monks will contract them. If I'm not mistaken, your life span is coming to an end and you won't be able to protect them for much longer. Although we contracted them without your consent, we swear that we will not treat them unfairly."
Situ Mo and Jiang He nodded quickly and said, "We swear that we will never treat them unfairly and will treat them as our closest partners and family members."
The Fiery Silver Lion looked at the two cubs reluctantly, knowing that what Xiao Liyue said was right. After all, the Netherworld Secret Realm would open once every hundred years, and it had avoided the opening of the secret realm more than ten times. But it could not survive this time. Due to the injuries it had suffered before, and the fact that it had used up all its cultivation to give birth to two cubs, it knew that its life span was coming to an end.
Now that it saw that the owner of the two cubs dared to swear and did not look like a bad person, it felt relieved.
Then the Fiery Silver Lion looked at the two cubs tenderly and said, "Let me take one last look at them!"
Situ Mo and Jiang He quickly put the cubs in their arms in front of it. The Fiery Silver Lion looked at the cubs staggering towards it, licked their fur gently, fed them milk for the last time, and then carried them back.
Finally, it took a reluctant look at its cub and ran out of the cave without looking back.
The two cubs seemed to sense its departure and howled loudly towards the sky, and what responded to them was the long and sad roar of the mother Fiery Silver Lion.
Looking at the departing female silver lion, Xiao Liyue couldn't help but sigh: "Maternal love is so great. Xiao He and Xiao Mo, you must treat other people's children well in the future. If I find out that you don't treat your pets well, don't blame me for confiscating them."
"I understand, Sister Li, I will definitely treat it well." Situ Mo promised.
Jiang He, who was called Xiao He, only then realized that Xiao He was actually himself, and quickly agreed.
The Fiery Silver Lion, who was hiding not far away, watched this scene and left with complete relief, because its child had found a good master.
Seeing that night was about to fall, Xiao Liyue decided to spend the night in the cave of the Fiery Silver Lion and set off again tomorrow morning.
Gu Qinghan and the others naturally agreed, and went to find some dead wood near the cave to make a fire for warmth. They put some dead grass around it, and then used animal skins to sit underneath.
Xiao Liyue took out some spirit beast meat from the space, asked Yu Fengchen to skewer it on wood, and taught him how to roast the meat. Then he took out a large iron pot and put some spirit rice and spirit spring water in it.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan also wanted to help, so Xiao Liyue asked him to cut some minced meat and mushrooms and put them into the iron pot to cook porridge.
As the mushroom and lean meat porridge was cooked and the barbecued meat was ready, Yu Fengchen poured a bowl of hot porridge for Xiao Liyue and cut a piece of meat and placed it in front of her.
Gu Qinghan was very envious of Yu Fengchen for being able to barbecue and being Xiao Liyue’s apprentice, so he had more opportunities to get close to her than himself.
After the group finished dinner, Xiao Liyue lay down and went to sleep due to health reasons.
Yu Fengchen covered her with his cloak and practiced beside her.
When Gu Qinghan saw this scene, he became more certain that Yu Fengchen liked Xiao Liyue just like him, so he had to take it seriously.
Wei Zishu looked at the two people guarding Xiao Liyue on the left and right, and helplessly went to practice aside with Nangong Yu and the others.
That night, Xiao Liyue slept until dawn. When she woke up, she saw Yu Fengchen and Gu Qinghan busy making breakfast.
After seeing her wake up, Chu Mingyou came to her side and said with a smile: "Sister Li, you are awake! Junior Brother Chen and Uncle Gu said they would cook for you early in the morning. Now they are competing to see who can cook the best!"
"Uh... so active." Looking at the two busy people, Xiao Liyue finished washing up and sat aside watching them busy.
After the two of them were done, they handed her the porridge, barbecue, bowls and chopsticks.
"Junior Sister Xiao, please try the barbecue I made. I just hunted it this morning." Gu Qinghan handed the barbecue to her.
Yu Fengchen, not wanting to be outdone, took a bowl of porridge and handed it to her: "Master, this is the wild vegetable and lean meat porridge that I made. Breakfast should be light."
Xiao Liyue looked at the scene in front of her and didn't have the heart to hurt their feelings. One of them burnt the meat, and the other turned the porridge green. She swallowed her saliva and took their food with difficulty.
As they were full of anticipation, they took a bite of the barbecue and found the meat to be dry and bitter, obviously it had been roasted for too long and too much salt was added. They then took a sip of the porridge and found it to be thick, sweet and unpalatable, obviously Yu Fengchen had mistaken sugar for salt.
Wei Zishu and the others watched Xiao Liyue's face change in various ways. Everyone swallowed their saliva subconsciously and asked, "Sister Li, is it delicious?"
Yu Fengchen and Gu Qinghan looked at her nervously and asked, "Junior Sister Xiao, Master, is it delicious?"
Xiao Liyue suppressed her nausea and swallowed the food, then looked at them helplessly. "That... is delicious. Don't make it next time."
"Huh? Why?" Yu Fengchen and Gu Qinghan were puzzled as to why they were not allowed to make it even though it was delicious.
Chu Mingyou and Situ Mo, who were standing by, heard her say it was delicious, so they took a bite of the barbecue and porridge, and everyone looked at him expectantly.
Chu Mingyou spat out the food in his mouth and said with disgust: "Pah... Oh my god! What kind of barbecue is this! It's so salty that it almost killed me."
"Poof... so sweet... so disgusting!" Situ Mo spat out the porridge in his mouth and tears couldn't help but flow down.
Gu Qinghan and Yu Fengchen were not giving up. They each tasted the food they had made. As soon as they put it in their mouths, they frowned and quickly turned their heads to spit out the food.
They had never eaten such disgusting food before, and Xiao Liyue knew it was disgusting but did not spit it out.
Wei Zishu, Nangong Yu and Jiang He looked at each other and secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately they didn't eat, otherwise they would be in trouble."
Gu Qinghan and Yu Fengchen looked like children who had done something wrong, with their heads down and sad faces.
Seeing this, Xiao Liyue comforted him, "It's okay, you can learn it slowly in the future. After all, it's your first time, and it's great to be able to do it like this."
The two people who were encouraged immediately felt better and decided to work hard to make perfect food next time.
Chu Mingyou and Situ Mo on the side saw Xiao Liyue saying it against her conscience. Only they who had tasted it knew how bad the food they cooked was.
