"That's right, even if the young miss wants to like someone, it should be the authors of Dream of the Red Chamber and Supreme Treasure, not some ordinary mortal like this." Mao Mao spoke with a mischievous look, implying something meaningful.
"Keep quiet." The woman rapped Mao Mao's little head, then said worriedly, "But do you think he might just be an ordinary person too?"
"Hmm..." Mao Mao lowered his little head in thought, "I don't think so. Look, even though the cultivation methods in Supreme Treasure are different from ours, aren't those characters still impressive? Even if it's made up, the author would need to have some understanding of cultivation to be able to write a book like that, right?"
"You're right."
The woman looked approvingly at Mao Mao. She also believed this to be the case. A simple love story could perhaps really be written by an ordinary person, but Supreme Treasure also depicted a cultivation world. With characters effortlessly traveling tens of thousands of miles, and top-tier treasures like the Moonlight Box, how could an ordinary person with mundane perspectives conjure up such a world?
"Then Mao Mao, starting today, help me do your utmost to find this gentleman. I want to meet him as quickly as possible." The woman softly instructed.
"Alright alright, young miss, I know what you're thinking. I'll send word out right away." Mao Mao said, covering his grin before withdrawing.
In the room, Yi Feng changed into a fresh set of clothes and wiped himself clean, finally feeling much more comfortable.
He then took a wild rabbit from the bamboo basket and went to the open yard in front of the house. After traveling all day without food and drink, now that he had settled down, he would definitely pamper himself with a good meal.
Right away, he set up a grilling rack.
Before long, a mouthwatering grilled rabbit wafted out its tempting aromas. The meat was oily but not greasy. Yi Feng had even sprinkled on some seasoning, making it even more irresistible.
"Mmm, smells good!"
Yi Feng was in no hurry to eat it. After all, eating something freshly grilled would be prone to causing an internal fire. Instead, he dug a small pit in the ground, took out a wild chicken wrapped in lotus leaves from the bamboo basket, and buried it in the pit.
Next, he speared a grilled fish.
Soon, the fish was thoroughly cooked, the crispy crackling skin stimulating the appetite.
The buried chicken was also unearthed, its fragrance overflowing.
Although he was but an ordinary mortal, Yi Feng never skimped when it came to enjoying life, even if he couldn't finish it all. He would eat heartily.
"With a pot of fine wine, this would be perfect bliss."
Yi Feng took out his gourd of wine. With everything prepared, he contentedly clapped his hands.
A chicken leg and a cup of wine quenched his satisfaction.
Despite the late autumn, there were still many small animals in the mountains, their cicada-like cries ringing out, along with many moths flitting towards the fire.
Yi Feng looked up.
The bright moon hung high, the vast expanse of sky clear and luminous. After a few cups of wine, although not drunk, he felt a little tipsy.
In his heart, he recalled his hometown from his past life.
Those long-lost skyscrapers, the hustle and bustle of the city, the endless days and sleepless nights spent on King of Glory and League of Legends, and his family and friends from his past life...
"I lift my head to gaze at the bright moon, and lower my head to think of home!"
Yi Feng made a toast to the moon. Unknowingly, his eyes had misted over.
"Not only does this gentleman have skill in poetry, it seems he also has stories to tell." Two graceful figures appeared outside the courtyard, their voices ringing out. As their voices faded, the chill hidden within the woman's eyes also quietly dissipated.
In fact, they had been observing for some time already.
This place, Mount Fu, was of great importance.
Outwardly, it was two maidens appreciating the tranquility and scenic waters, but secretly they were guarding this place, preventing any mishaps.
In two years, no outsiders had entered. For a mere mortal like Yi Feng to cause such a great commotion, even if he was just an ordinary person, it had long drawn the attention of the two women.
But now it seemed their worries were unnecessary.
"I apologize for disturbing the two young ladies. Please join me by the fire. I was planning to prepare this food and bring it over as a gift, but since you've arrived, why don't we eat together?" Yi Feng quickly bowed in greeting and welcomed them to the fireside.
The woman in white looked at Yi Feng.
Somehow, she felt this ordinary young man was different. Despite her usual disinterest in such mundane grains, she found herself inexplicably sitting down.
