That night, neither of them had any unusual dreams. When Ziyan woke up from her dream, she opened her eyes and immediately noticed several fragrant bowls and plates on the Stone Table at the entrance of the Cave.
What was going on?
Ziyan quickly got out of bed and walked over to take a look. It was truly abundant; there was steaming Bird's Nest Porridge, a large plate of deliciously roasted meat cut into pieces, and a dish of cold Wild Purslane.
Seeing all this, Ziyan couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands and let out a squeal. She never expected Ling Yuxuan to have learned these few tricks of hers.
Just as Ziyan was filled with astonishment, Ling Yuxuan leaped from the waterfall and sat beside her. "Is this breakfast satisfactory for my Future Wife?"
"Satisfactory, of course it's satisfactory," Ziyan replied, nodding vigorously.
How could she not be satisfied? What more could one ask for?
This was too, too satisfying! Ziyan thought to herself.
She then leaned closer to Ling Yuxuan's head and without any hesitation, gave him a teasing kiss.
Ling Yuxuan was naturally overjoyed inside, his beautiful eyes flashing with a fiery light.
However, he maintained his signature calm expression and urged her, "Hurry up and eat. After we're done, let's go explore County Town."
"Mm-mm-mm!"
Eager to visit County Town, Ziyan nodded rapidly like a pestle.
She reached out to grab a piece of roasted meat to stuff into her mouth but was stopped by the Ape-Armed Man, who swiftly knocked the meat out of her hand back onto the plate.
A voice suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, that hurts."
Ziyan rubbed the back of her hand that had just been slapped, casting a resentful and dissatisfied glare at Ling Yuxuan, who was already sitting down and enjoying his meal.
At the same time, the Ape-Armed Man coldly stared at Ziyan and gestured with his chin towards a basin and a teacup on a wooden rack not far away. Ziyan instantly understood that he was telling her to wash up first.
Just as Ziyan pouted and hesitated in place, she heard Ling Yuxuan's threatening remark: "If you keep dawdling, by the time I finish eating, you won't get to eat at all."
After saying that, Ling Yuxuan didn't even glance at Ziyan again and continued to enjoy the breakfast he had made for himself.
"Fine, if you don't want me to eat, then I won't."
Ziyan muttered under her breath, though her body moved uncontrollably as she took a few steps toward the wooden rack to take a look.
The basin contained clean water for washing up, and the teacup for rinsing was also full. Her mood instantly shifted from gloomy to bright.
She thought to herself: Who would have thought this guy could be so thoughtful! Forget it, I won't hold that slap against you.
With that in mind, Ziyan quickly washed up and returned to the Stone Table with a beaming smile. She picked up a bowl of porridge and began to drink while blinking her enchanting big eyes.
Seeing that Ling Yuxuan's attitude remained cold, Ziyan shamelessly added several pieces of food onto an empty plate in front of him.
After quite some time, the guy who had been pretending to be engrossed in his meal finally turned his attention back.
At this moment, both of them had finished their breakfast and tidied up a bit. Ling Yuxuan approached the ever-smiling Beloved Child and took her small hand. The two then soared out beyond the waterfall.
Soon, they leaped into the Ancient Tree Forest. As soon as they stood still, six shadowy guards wearing Golden Masks appeared simultaneously.
Among them, two carried the two baskets that Ziyan had brought from home yesterday on their backs. After nodding to Ling Yuxuan in succession, they all vanished.
Then, holding Ziyan's hand, Ling Yuxuan had long forgotten the slight awkwardness from breakfast and affectionately continued forward with their hands intertwined.
After about half an hour of walking, Ling Yuxuan looked at Ziyan with concern and asked, "Are you alright?"
Ziyan nodded lightly in response and said, "Mm."
Thus, both of them simultaneously activated their lightness skills and sped towards County Town. In about the time it takes to brew two cups of tea, they appeared in a small grove not far outside County Town.
At the same time, two Masked Men also appeared, placing the two baskets almost simultaneously on the ground before vanishing again.
Ling Yuxuan placed the smaller basket on Ziyan's back while he carried the larger one himself. They then proceeded side by side towards the city gate of County Town.
Once Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan entered the city, they headed straight to Jishitang.
At that moment, Old Man Mo was not seeing patients. A young Clerk led them through a corridor past an outer courtyard where various Chinese medicinal herbs were drying everywhere. They passed through houses on either side of the yard—likely residences for the Clerk and apprentices.
They unexpectedly entered a larger inner courtyard where under a tall Sophora Tree stood an elderly man with a rosy complexion and spirited demeanor, practicing martial arts like a white-haired immortal.
In that instant, Ziyan was astonished: it turned out that Old Man Mo was not only a healer but also a martial artist!
In contrast, Ling Yuxuan calmly smiled and appreciated Old Man Mo practicing his swordsmanship, as if he had known all along.
Ziyan couldn't help but pout and complain, "So you already knew this old man? No wonder when you first brought me here, I felt like you two must have been old acquaintances."
"Have you finally remembered Elder?"
Old Man Mo, who had long noticed the presence of the two, finally stopped practicing and sheathed his sword before walking over to them.
Ling Yuxuan and Old Man Mo exchanged a knowing smile and nodded at each other.
"Mr. Mo, good morning."
Ziyan looked at the two and felt enlightened, sweetly taking the initiative to greet Old Man Mo.
"Ah, good morning, Miss Zi. It seems you two are developing quite quickly?"
"Huh?"
Ziyan stared at Old Man Mo's teasing regarding her and Ling Yuxuan, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Meanwhile, Ling Yuxuan remained calm and smiled as she said, "Mr. Mo, you're making fun of us. How has your health been lately, Mo Old Man?"
"Well, thanks to Young Master’s concern, this old man is still in relatively good shape."
