He sat back to his original position, gently removed the rag stuffed in her ears, and let her lie back in his arms.

That night, nothing happened again. Xiahou Xiyue slept sweetly until dawn, until a drooling aroma of roast chicken came from her breath.

"Wow... it smells so good... Xiu, why are you getting up so early?" Xiahou Xiyue suddenly woke up from the ground. Seeing Duanmu Xiu sitting by the campfire and roasting pheasants, her saliva almost couldn't help but flow down. She could eat roasted chicken in such barren mountains and rivers. She was so happy, and it was roasted by Xiu, so touching.

"It's still early for the sun to burn her butt?" Duanmu Xiu glanced at her faintly, "When you wake up, go to the river to wash your face. After breakfast, we have to go back."

"Well." She must have been too tired last night, so she slept until the sun was shining and didn't know she was going to wake up. Xiahou Xiyue's face turned red, then she quickly got up and ran to the river to wash her face. When she came to the clear river, she reached out to scoop up the water to wash her face, and then found something very strange. When she went into the water to take a shower last night, there were still many fish swimming around in the river, but now, there were no ghosts in the clear river.

After washing his face, Xiahou Xiyue returned to the bonfire and asked in confusion: "Xuan, I discovered something very strange."

"What strange thing?" Duanmu Xiu roasted the roast chicken. He was afraid that she would burn her mouth with anxiety. This time, he blew the roast chicken cooled and handed it to her.

"There are no fish in the river. I saw a lot of them last night. When I went to wash my face just now, I didn't see a single fish." Xiahou Xiyue took the half of the roast chicken, and her appetite was immediately aroused.

"Is that?" Duanmu Xiu just responded lightly. In fact, he had already discovered that all the fish in the river had run away at some point. He had to get up early and prepare to catch a few fish to grill, but he couldn't find them. He had to go far and catch a pheasant and come back.

"Yes, it's really strange. Xiu's roasted chicken is delicious." Xiahou Xiyue took a bite. The skin was crispy and tender, and the heat was well controlled. She couldn't help looking at him with admiration. She now realized that Xiu was not intimate in the kitchen. If he was willing to cook, the dishes he cooked must be delicious.

"Maybe they will come out to play at night and hide back to rest during the day." Duanmu Xiu shrugged and said disapprovingly.

"Ah...is that true??" Is the fish going back to the cage and rest? Xiahou Xiyue, who heard this for the first time, immediately looked at him with suspicion.

"Look, eat quickly, we're going to leave here and go back later." Duanmu Xiu saw that she was talking so much while eating roast chicken, and immediately glanced at her with a bad look.

"Oh." She was just curious, and this was a harsh person. Xiahou Xiyue curled her lips, picked up the roast chicken, and began to eat quietly and politely.

Apart from being disturbed by the group of demons last night, nothing special happened in the forest, but the surrounding environment seemed too quiet, and there was no sound of birds and insects singing, and even the fish in the water disappeared. It seemed that there was no calmness here as it seemed. Duanmu Xiu was eating roasted chicken while silently monitoring the movements around him.

After eating, Duanmu Xiu immediately and Xiahou Xiyue prepared to leave the forest.
