C52 The Silent Night
The quiet night.
Liu Xing did not know if it was deliberately arranged by Liu Xing, but his carriage was very close to Long Chenhao and Mu Yu's carriage. Whenever he had time, he would come over to chat with Mu Yu and ask questions.
If it was not because Long Chenhao was not very friendly to him, he would have shown signs of staying. Although Mu Yu was very against the case, Liu Xing did not do anything out of the ordinary. He could only accompany her out of courtesy.
Ever since Long Chenhao had followed this caravan, he had been very panicked for some reason. It was like someone had been watching him from behind. During this period, he had sent out his divine sense several times but could not find the source. In the end, his conclusion was that it came from the dense forest. This was also the reason why he had been absent-minded all this time.
There shouldn't be any problems. Although the ranks of mercenaries weren't high, with so many people having undergone the baptism of battle, they should be so weak.
Long Chenhao looked outside and saw that the sky had already darkened. He randomly found a reason to chase Liu Xing out of the carriage. Liu Xing's resentment towards Long Chenhao increased a little. Finally, he looked at Long Chenhao with resentment.
Seeing Liu Xing walk away, Long Chenhao said to Mu Yu with a serious face, "Mu Yu, I have a bad feeling in my heart. You have to be careful tonight. Remember to stay by my side. Don't get separated."
Mu Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, young master. I know. There will be no problem with young master by my side. Besides, he had already reached the eighth grade. He was about to reach the ninth grade. Young Master, you can rest assured!"
" Really? Our Mu Yu is the best. To be able to reach such a huge improvement in such a short period of time. What kind of reward do you want?" Long Chenhao said and reached his hand out to Mu Yu's head.
"Young Master, forget about the reward. Don't touch my head in the future."
"No."
"Uh..."
Liu Xing, who was standing outside the carriage, saw Long Chenhao and Mu Yu's actions. He was so angry that his hands could not help but clench until they turned white. After calming himself down, he said, "The sky is dark now. Come down and eat something first!"
Long Chenhao and Mu Yu came to the bottom of the carriage. The surrounding staff surrounded them in a circle. The bonfire in the middle was very obvious, but the surroundings did not change. It was a dark night in the dense forest.
The mercenaries also took turns to watch the night. There were continuous sounds of sparks flying around.
Long Chenhao did not sit with Liu Xing. He took Mu Yu to a wide tree by herself. They picked up some dry branches from the surroundings and made a small bonfire.
Although it was simple, it was very warm. Long Chenhao took out some raw meat and some simple seasoning from his Dimensional ring and roasted it on the bonfire.
"Young master, you have prepared this well!" Mu Yu said in surprise when she saw Long Chenhao taking things out from the Dimensional ring.
"You don't understand. These things are essential items for survival in the wild. You must learn from Young Master in the future. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by others." Long Chenhao said to Mu Yu in a serious manner.
"Yes, yes."
The mercenaries on the side had black lines on their faces.
You are just a f * cking foodie, aren't you? You don't even need to say it in such a tactful manner. You actually brought some useless combat equipment outside. I'll see what you can do when you encounter danger later.
"Zi ~ Zi ~ Zi!"
Fresh Grinding Beast meat was roasted into a golden color, and the oil droplets fell on the bonfire from time to time, producing a sound.
These were all prepared by Long Chenhao in advance in the Biyun City. It could also be used to preserve the freshness in the interspatial ring. There was no need to worry about rotting. Furthermore, Long Chenhao's interspatial ring was not an ordinary large one. Even if there was some food, there was still a lot of empty space.
The aroma of the meat kept spreading. The surrounding workers looked over with envy. After all, there was nothing else in their food other than some dry food.
The most tragic thing was that the mercenaries who were on night vigil could only watch on hungrily. When the aroma of meat drifted to their side, their stomachs were like drums in protest.
Long Chenhao was not in a hurry. He flipped the meat a few times from time to time and added more seasoning in his hands.
"Alright, you can start. Be careful, it's hot." Long Chenhao felt that it was about time, so he handed a piece of meat to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu gently bit it and the oil spurted out from the meat. It was tender inside and did not lose any strength. It was roasted just right and the seasoning could be considered the best in the world.
Mu Yu repeatedly praised Long Chenhao, "Young Master, your cooking skills are really good. I didn't expect you to know so much."
"Why don't you take a look at who your Young Master is? If you perform well in the future, I will tell you this exclusive secret manual of mine."
"En, I will perform well."
When Liu Xing saw Long Chenhao and Mu Yu, his heart was filled with jealousy. Even the numerous delicacies in front of him were bland and tasteless.
After Long Chenhao and Mu Yu finished eating, it was late at night. The surrounding waiters had gone to sleep early because of the fragrance of the meat. They were worried that they would start drooling if they couldn't control themselves.
Seeing that Mu Yu had almost finished eating, as well as the surrounding staff members and mercenaries who were gradually falling asleep, Long Chenhao suddenly said to Mu Yu, "Mu Yu, let's not sleep in the carriage tonight."
Mu Yu was smart, so how could she not know that Long Chenhao definitely had other plans? She nodded repeatedly.
Long Chenhao looked at the scattered night watchers around and took the opportunity to bring Mu Yu into the woods beside the caravan.
Without the light from the bonfire, after getting used to it for a while, the scenery in front of them slowly appeared in front of them. There was a clear stream, a tall tree, and a bush not far away.
Long Chenhao took Mu Yu to a thick tree and said, "Stand firm." After saying that, he used one hand to stop Mu Yu's slim waist. Controlling the balance of his body, he quickly jumped to the top of the tree. Mu Yu's body was very soft and cool. Long Chenhao's heart trembled and he almost did not hug her, causing Mu Yu to fall down.
Mu Yu was first shocked and gradually became familiar with him. She looked at Long Chenhao's side profile. Under the moonlight, that firm and handsome side profile became even more charming.
Long Chenhao stopped on a thick tree branch and found Mu Yu staring at him.
"Is there something on my face?"
Mu Yu's face turned red when Long Chenhao asked that question. She stammered, "Nothing. Nothing."
"Why did you become so embarrassed? Actually, you are not very heavy. I did not say anything about you." Long Chenhao said to himself.
After Mu Yu heard him, she became even more embarrassed. Her body swayed and she almost fell off the tree branch. Long Chenhao quickly grabbed Mu Yu's hand and pulled her back.
