Zhou Yunshen heard the words and looked at Chu Yu, whose eyes seemed to flash with daggers. He hated that he couldn’t slash Chu Yu a thousand times over.
Yet Yun Jinnian nodded earnestly, "Yes, I really don’t like eating meat. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Young Master Zhou!"
Chu Yu struggled to hold back his laughter.
He almost burst out laughing.
Yun Jinnian, on the other hand, was quite indifferent to it all. She was just telling the truth, and besides, she didn’t enjoy being stared at.
Even if the person doing the staring held a high and powerful position.
Zhou Yunshen, looking at Chu Yu’s smug expression, was so angry that he actually laughed, "Leave it for those two children to eat then!"
It was such a large dish. When Yun Jinnian reached out to take it, Chu Yu pulled her aside, looking surprised.
But then a guard stepped forward to take it and brought it to Hemei and Henuan.
Not knowing what the guard said to Hemei and Henuan, the two children quickly came over, bowed deeply to Zhou Yunshen, and thanked him, "Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Zhou!"
Zhou Yunshen couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’m off to have breakfast first!"
Turning around to walk back, his hand clenched into a fist.
Indeed, the human heart is biased!
Yun Jinnian soon put the matter of Zhou Yunshen behind her. After breakfast, the group prepared to set off again.
Amdo was still searching for his Spiritual Poisonous Insect in the cave, never dreaming that it was currently snoozing sweetly inside a small tripod.
"What is he looking for?" asked Yun Jinnian.
"Seems like he lost a pet he was keeping!"
Yun Jinnian frowned, thinking of the insect from the previous night, and then remained silent.
She just wouldn’t return it to Amdo.
And even kept her distance from him.
The journey continued, with Yun Jinnian walking ahead on her own for a stretch, but as they moved higher up the mountain, the cold wind grew sharper, making it impossible to walk. She had no choice but to let Chu Yu carry her on his back.
When she first lay on Chu Yu’s back, Yun Jinnian felt quite shy.
But Chu Yu soon told her a few jokes to cheer her up, and she gradually got used to it.
The two of them walked ahead of Zhou Yunshen.
Whatever Chu Yu said made Yun Jinnian punch him lightly, prompting Chu Yu to chuckle twice, but he quickly stopped to avoid triggering an avalanche.
Zhou Yunshen looked at Chu Yu’s robust and tall physique, then thought about his own frailty, feeling somewhat powerless.
But if Yun Jinnian were willing to let him carry her up the mountain, he was capable of it.
Amdo was still searching for his Spiritual Poisonous Insect, this time pouring out the Poisonous Insects it liked to eat. The Poisonous Insects crawled all over the ground, but the Spiritual Poisonous Insect stubbornly refused to emerge.
Amdo was anxious, and so were the people who came with him with money.
Amdo paused for a moment, "Could it be that the Spiritual Poisonous Insect has already been taken away?"
As the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall of the Moonwatching Sect, Amdo was no fool.
He quickly realized that the Spiritual Poisonous Insect was certainly not in the cave anymore.
"Then let’s go after it. We must find the Spiritual Poisonous Insect at any cost!"
This was the only Spiritual Poisonous Insect left for the Moonwatching Sect. If it were lost, the sect would be doomed.
Without the Saintess, the Sacred Relic, and even the Spiritual Poisonous Insect gone...
Amdo dared not contemplate the consequences and could only lead his people to immediately pursue Yun Jinnian and Chu Yu.
The cold wind rustled, with Yun Jinnian hugging her head and shrinking into Chu Yu’s neck.
"Are you cold?" asked Chu Yu softly.
She was dressed warmly, and Chu Yu’s back was especially warm, not feeling the cold in the slightest.
"If you’re cold, you must tell me!"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Mhm, are you tired from carrying me?"
"Not tired, haven’t you noticed I’m not even sweating?" Chu Yu walked steadily with Yun Jinnian on his back.
Seeing that Chu Yu really wasn’t tired, Yun Jinnian spoke quietly, "I picked up an insect last night!"
