Chapter 1040: Chapter 1042: Amusement (7)

"Rest assured, as the daughter of Emperor Tian, even the macaques would not dare to make things difficult for you. As for Zhao Yang, I won’t indulge her antics anymore!"

Having received the man’s assurance, Cai Wei felt much better. She sat down, lay in the man’s embrace, and they talked for a while. Perhaps because of the exhaustion from running around all night, as she spoke, she unwittingly fell asleep...

When she awoke, the Sun was already slanted to the west.

She had been awakened by hunger. Not having eaten well last night in Lingbei, and after encountering Nangong Yi in the early morning without time for food, having slept for almost a whole day, she was utterly famished.

Nangong Yi was busy not far from her under a large tree, gutting a skinned Wild rabbit and preparing it for cooking.

"Nangong Yi, what are you doing?"

"Roasting a Rabbit, just wait a bit, it’ll be ready soon!"

Nangong Yi caught a glimpse of Cai Wei’s just-awakened appearance, drowsy and bleary-eyed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly in good spirits. With a dagger in hand, he made several cuts in the body of the Rabbit and then took out many small paper packs from his Shun bag. Cai Wei stared, dumbstruck—not having expected Nangong Yi, a man of such lofty pride, to carry such equipment. Could it be that he had anticipated meeting her this morning and then planned to take her here for a picnic?

"Wow, you even know how to marinate!"

Cai Wei’s attention returned to the sleek Wild rabbit. Now, starving, her eyes gleamed fiercely as she wished she could immediately transform the plump Rabbit into a fragrant, golden-colored, crisp roast Rabbit, with its tender and juicy meat steaming hot in her belly.

Thinking about this, her stomach responded.

"Gurgle—gurgle—"

"Hungry, aren’t you? Don’t rush, you can only eat it once it’s cooked, or else you’ll get sick!"

Nangong Yi looked at her affectionately and quickened his pace. The little girl hadn’t eaten all day and had been worn out by his trouble, depleting her energy. She deserved a good meal. But while she was asleep, he feared wild beasts might come, so he killed and prepared the Rabbit he had caught in the morning and gathered some firewood nearby, waiting to roast it for her once she awoke.

"Nangong Yi, are you sure you can do this? Otherwise, let me do it!"

In Cai Wei’s view, Nangong Yi was a refined gentleman whose hands never needed to touch spring water and who even had the empty title of the number one Young Master of Great Jin. How could such a person be doing this sort of thing?

"Rest assured, you’ll definitely be satisfied!"

Nangong Yi coated the cuts on the back of the Rabbit with Salty Noodles, noticing Cai Wei’s conflicted face and guessing that the little girl might be worried about his skills, "During the Autumn Hunt every year, Imperial Father used to have the roasted game distributed to everyone. Imperial Mother, worried that Jin Guifei might use it as a chance to harm me, instructed me to roast and eat the game I caught by myself, and to the outside, it was announced as something I enjoyed doing."

Unaware of the bitter past behind the roasted Rabbit, Cai Wei felt a pang of sympathy. She propped her chin with both hands, staring blankly at the man who was earnestly turning the roast, thinking how handsome her man was.

A face as perfect as a painting, with eyes black and deep, enchanting and seductive, a high and straight nose, and delicate, slightly pink lips, in addition to that smooth and clean complexion, was truly intoxicating.

The man, threading the Rabbit onto a branch with his signature magnetic voice, said, "It’s a pity we don’t have any oil; it would taste even better!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a porcelain bottle, greasy with oil, was presented before him.

"Here, your oil!"

Cai Wei held up her chin with one hand and the oil bottle with the other, playfully watching him.
