Of course, all of these were just Bai Junjun’s thoughts, and she didn’t express them.
Everyone’s focus was still on the kitchen.
The two old men felt that Junjun was being a bit too much with her suggestion of mutual learning, worrying that it might upset the Fox Brothers.
Surprisingly, the Fox not only didn’t mind but also smiled and invited the two Maids to watch the cooking demonstration up close.
"Cooking is actually quite simple. As long as you get the ingredients and the heat right, you can generally make something tasty," he explained in detail about the things to note for this dish, and even Wu Nuan couldn’t help but enter the kitchen to listen in.
"..." The two old men realized they had been too narrow-minded.
Soon, the meal was served, which even made Mr. Shan Hai and Mr. Dan He impressed.
The bright red braised rabbit meat and the oily green vegetables made everyone feel as if their millennium-old cravings had been triggered.
"If only we had a small pot of wine to go with it," someone lamented.
Bai Junjun smiled, "Actually, we do."
"???" Everybody was astonished.
Putting on a show, Bai Junjun ran to the backyard and brought back a pot of wine: "I found it this morning. There’s a bunch of wine buried here in the backyard, possibly left by the Immortals."
"Left by the Immortals?" Everyone’s eyes lit up, without a hint of doubt.
After all, Immortals and wine always go hand in hand; finding fine wine in the house of an Immortal was perfectly plausible.
And so everyone happily began to drink.
Wu Nuan and the others were experiencing alcohol for the first time. They couldn’t appreciate this burning sensation at the mouth, throat, and stomach.
On the other hand, Mr. Dan He and Mr. Shan Hai, having not indulged in a long time, happily drank cup after cup, completely forgetting today’s attack by the Wild People.
When the moon hung over the willow tree tops, the two satisfied old men finally sprawled across the table, snoring away.
Li Wenli had no choice but to carry the two old men to their rooms. When he came back out, Duo Duo and Chu Chu had already cleaned up the tableware.
He didn’t say much but gave Bai Junjun a smile.
Bai Junjun, feeling Li Wenli’s gaze, couldn’t help but return the look: "You’re fine now, go back to your own room."
Duo Duo and Chu Chu couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle upon hearing this, and even Wu Nuan’s eyes twinkled with amusement.
Li Wenli, a thick-skinned man, didn’t mind being laughed at; he just shook his head regretfully: "If only I had recovered a few days later, what a loss."
Since moving into her new home, Bai Junjun finally slept on the big bed in her room for the first time.
These days, she had been accompanying the Fox to the Space every night, soaking in the water while she lay on the grassy shore. Thinking about it, it was quite sad.
Having slept on this bed for a while, Bai Junjun finally understood why Wu Nuan was in such a hurry to make a blanket.
The bed was wide and sturdy; if only it had a soft satin duvet, it would be perfect.
With these thoughts, Bai Junjun drifted into a deep sleep.
Late into the night, Bai Junjun, in a daze, felt a strong concentration of carbon dioxide slowly approaching her domain.
She abruptly opened her eyes and sat up.
After carefully discerning, it was definitely not a dream!
On alert, Bai Junjun opened her room’s door, only to see the Fox, who had also come out.
They exchanged a glance, and without a word, both tiptoed and ran outside.
Following the trail, they arrived at the spot where Mr. Dan He had previously been captured, only to see noisy footsteps beyond the wall.
They decided to take the initiative instead of being passive and leapt onto the top of the wall.
Upon reaching the top, they saw a large group of Wild People standing outside, wooing and whispering in nearly a hundred in number. The Wild People, both men and women, were bare-chested, their bronze skin reflecting under the moonlight.
