Chapter 1041: Chapter 1043: Amusement (8)

Nangong Yi took over the oil bottle and teased, "The daughter of Emperor Tian, indeed has magical powers!"

Considering the tragic childhood he had just described, Cai Wei didn’t take it personally but merely hummed and continued watching him roast the rabbit.

The wild rabbit, skewered on a tree branch, was brushed with oil before being returned to the fire, where the flames visibly increased. He kept turning it, and soon, the rabbit was sizzling with oil, dripping into the fire and making a sizzling sound.

Nangong Yi’s arm strength was considerable. He constantly turned the skewer, ensuring even heating on all parts of the rabbit. It seemed he was quite skilled, which made Cai Wei’s heart ache as she realized why he excelled at roasting game.

"Here, open up!"

Cai Wei held a purple-red fruit to Nangong Yi’s mouth. It was the most delicious fruit in space, sweet and juicy, with a lingering fragrance and endless aftertaste, at least that’s what she believed.

Nangong Yi smelled the fruit’s aroma and glanced at the fruit he had never seen before, laughed and said, "What kind of fruit is this? How come I’ve never seen it before?"

Cai Wei made a mischievous expression and said, "Poisonous fruit, dare you eat it?"

Nangong Yi gave her a sidelong glance, chuckled, and took a bite. Instantly, he was also amazed by the fruit’s deliciousness.

"Ha, things from the Heavenly Palace are indeed delicious. I’ve never tasted such a delicious fruit!"

Cai Wei, with pride, said, "Of course, would these fresh fruits be available to ordinary folk if you weren’t the son-in-law of Emperor Tian?"

Nangong Yi laughed, "It seems, as the husband, I clung to the right leg of my wife!"

In the midst of their laughter, the rabbit on the branch had turned golden brown and smelled delicious. Cai Wei sniffed and slowly moved closer.

"Step back a bit, it might scald you!"

Nangong Yi gently pushed her away with his elbow.

"How much longer until it’s ready?"

Cai Wei was already impatient, her stomach protesting loudly. Nangong Yi looked at her and nodded toward a distant stream.

"Go wash your hands first!"

Cai Wei was too lazy to move. Using her thoughts, she brought out a basin of clean water directly from space. After washing her hands, she conjured a plate, a pair of chopsticks, and a basin of fresh fruit.

Nangong Yi, unsurprised, watched her. He then removed the roasted rabbit from the fire, used a dagger to cut off the rabbit’s leg, and said to Cai Wei, "Come, eat, but be careful of the heat!"

Cai Wei, excited, rubbed her hands together, grabbed the rabbit leg and bit fiercely into it. The rabbit was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and she thought it tasted even better than the grilled skewers made by the master chef at Bafu Restaurant!

Nangong Yi, holding a knife, elegantly sliced the rabbit meat, cutting the cooked rabbit into pieces and placing them on the plate.

After dismantling the rabbit, he washed his hands in the basin Cai Wei had used, then pulled out a handkerchief for Cai Wei to wipe her mouth. "Eat slowly, don’t choke yourself!"

Cai Wei wiped her mouth and muttered unclear, "Mmm, delicious. Why aren’t you eating?"

Nangong Yi picked up a fruit, examined it, and said, "Roasted rabbit can be eaten anytime, but immortal fruit from the Heavenly Palace is only available when the celestial maiden is in a good mood. If you were me, which would you choose to eat?"

While speaking, he gracefully bit into the fruit.

"Wow, this guy is really scheming!"

Cai Wei hummed lightly, actually wishing he would eat the fruit. She hadn’t eaten all day and could probably devour a whole cow, let alone a mere rabbit!

Soon, an entire rabbit had perfectly made its way into Cai Wei’s stomach. She touched her belly contentedly and said to Nangong Yi, "Very delicious, keep it up next time!"

Nangong Yi, while wiping the circle of grease around her mouth, held back a laugh, "Alright, next time you want to eat, just let me know, and I will strive to satisfy you!"

The words ’strive’ and ’satisfy’ seemed a bit odd, but since she was eating his food, even if she knew he was teasing her, she couldn’t be too serious. She bent down, picked up the basin from the ground, and with a "splash," poured it next to Nangong Yi.

The fire, not yet completely extinguished, "crackled" and was extinguished without a spark left...

"Remember, long-lasting forest protection and fire prevention keep the mountains green and waters clear!"

Cai Wei maintained a straight face as she scolded him, collected the basin and plate back into space, and walked away.

Nangong Yi shook his head, chuckled, and then followed her...
