"It's so tasteless when you eat like this. Come on, eat big, chew hard, uh... ah! uh... ah!"

Seeing Chen Zhaoning eating slowly, Chen Yuan immediately looked like a hungry beggar, gesturing for her to follow suit.

Chen Zhaoning couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and as soon as his smile appeared, he quickly suppressed it.

She was no longer restrained, thought about it, and started eating like Chen Yuan.

"That's right. Even if this food is ordinary and not that delicious, it still has to be delicious. Eat it and you'll finish it before you know it."

"When you eat, you feel full. When you feel full, you feel better."

Chen Yuan said, with a hearty smile on his face.

"It seems...it does make sense."

His words echoed in Chen Zhaoning's ears. He lowered his head and saw that there were no bones left in the chicken drumstick in his hand, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Looking at her greasy and dirty hands, and just when she was worrying about how to wipe them, another chicken drumstick was roughly handed to her and stuffed into her hand.

"One more!"

Chen Zhaoning raised his eyes and ran into Chen Yuan's bright smiling face. Those eyes were bright and clear, which was particularly moving.

Chen Yuan was wrapped in a worn-out cotton-padded jacket and tied randomly with strips of cloth in several places. He looked like a little beggar.

But at this moment, in her eyes, the other person's eyes were better than the warm sun, making people feel warm in their hearts.

"Your eyes...are really beautiful."

Chen Zhaoning murmured unconsciously, and he didn't react until he finished speaking.

This is praising a boy. Why have I lost my reserve?

For a moment, her cheeks burned hot.

She turned around quickly, facing away from the dark cave wall.

Chen Yuan, who was gnawing on the neck of a chicken, laughed out loud: "Your peach blossom eyes are so beautiful. You have been a beauty since you were a child. When you grow up, I am afraid that you will become a fairy who will bring disaster to the country and the people."

Listening to the ridicule behind him, Chen Zhaoning's cheeks became even hotter and he spat lightly: "Bah, that's nonsense. Who will bring disaster to the country and the people?"

After a moment of silence, she added in a low voice: "It's okay to cause trouble to the demon country, but it will never hurt innocent people."

"...Huh?"

Chen Yuan didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly and looked confused.

But Chen Zhaoning didn't want to talk to him anymore, he just lowered his head and ate the chicken legs.

When Chen Yuan saw this, he stopped asking questions and gnawed the chicken bones cleanly.

After a meal, he regained most of his strength, and all the previous fatigue dissipated.

Chen Yuan casually wiped his greasy hands with a dirty cotton-padded jacket, then sat cross-legged and started practicing by running the "Xuanhuang Zhengqi Jue".

Not long after, there was a rustling movement beside him, as if someone was tugging at the corner of his clothes.

He opened his eyes and saw Chen Zhaoning, whose cheeks were red, wiping his hands on his clothes.

"Uh... Anyway, your clothes are already dirty, so it's not bad. When you get back to Chen's house, I'll give you a new pair of clothes."

After saying that, she quickly retracted her hand like a frightened little rabbit, picked up the long knife beside her, and faced the cave wall again without saying a word.

Chen Yuan smiled dumbly and didn't care.

The clothes are already dirty, so there is no harm in wiping your hands.

He turned to look at Li Wei and Nuomi, who were sleeping deeply, and then at Lu Chengfeng, who looked thoughtful, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Uncle Lu, do you want some too? There are only some bones left."

"I won't eat." Lu Chengfeng leaned against the cave wall and said in a faint voice, "He is quite good at pleasing girls."

Chen Yuan touched his nose, coughed twice, and had to practice quietly again.

Chen Zhaoning, who was behind him, heard this and muttered in a low voice: "Glib tongue."

Chen Yuan did not answer any more words, and opened all his spiritual orifices, activating the spiritual power throughout his body to turn into mana, flowing through his limbs and bones.

Chen Zhaoning, who turned his back, felt tired and gradually fell into sleep, no longer paying attention to the young man meditating behind him.

It was dark inside the cave, the wood in the fire crackled, and the light of the fire swayed, reflecting on everyone.

With Lu Chengfeng guarding the entrance of the cave, everyone slept very peacefully, and Chen Yuan was able to practice with peace of mind.
