Do you want me to help you cleanse too? Ye Lang looked at Li Yue. She looked like a crazy but beautiful girl, someone whod just woken up.

No, I still prefer to do it myself! Using the regular method! she shook her head.

Hurry up then. Ill get us some breakfast. as he spoke, he produced a vanity and then condense a tub of water for her.

She stared at the vanity, wanting to know what other random items he had in his ring. How could he have this too?

What should we eat? Boiling porridge will be too slow. Lets eat some dumplings, fatty made a lot for me. Ye Lang produced a wok and an alchemy stove, then started to cook dumplings.

Li Yue, do you want soup dumplings or dry ones?

When the dumplings were ready, Ye Lang realised she was still washing up. This wasnt because Li Yue was slow- the dumplings were quick to cook. But still, Ye Lang thought she was taking too long.

What is she doing? Ugh, this is troublesome!

I like them dry with some vinegar. Did you bring any vinegar? Li Yue tied her hair up in a simple ponytail then approached Ye Lang.

Of course, I brought many bottles! said Ye Lang as he pulled out a table, two chairs, chopsticks and placemats.

Woah, you really have everything! gasped Li Yue. He really was a walking sundry shop- a very top-tier one too, he had everything.

Not really, I dont have many things, like Ye Lang listed a lot of objects, they were all rare treasures, the kind you wouldnt be able to find even if you had a lot of money. He was a prodigal son, not a god.

Some things cannot be bought even if you had the money!

Shut up, eat your dumplings! Li Yue said exasperated, not wanting to further dwell on the topic. She did not mean it that way.

Oh, I want soup, its more comfortable Ill add some salt, some vinegar, sesame oil, a sprinkle of pepper after Ye Lang served Li Yue her plate of dumplings, he got himself a bowl of dumplings and added more ingredients.

Li Yue stared as he added more ingredients.

After he ate a few, she wanted some of his soup dumplings too.

I want that too! she pointed at Ye Langs bowl.

I dont have anymore, plus Ive already poured away the soup Ye Lang shook his head. While he packed up, hed cleaned his utensils in a second with the purification formation.

Give me some from your bowl she said immediately, though when the words left her lips, she realised there was something very wrong with her statement.

If she ate food from his bowl That was something only people very close to each other did. It was obvious their relationship wasnt like that.

But Ye Lang did not care, of course. He nodded, Alright, Ill give you a few of mine, you give me a few of yours too

As he spoke, he picked up a dumpling from Li Yues plate with his chopsticks, dipped it in vinegar, then popped it in his mouth.

Mmph this one is delicious too! Dumplings are awesome, you can boil them, steam them, with soup, without soup, add different flavours Ye Lang started talking incoherently because he had stuffed a few into his mouth.

Li Yue did not have a problem with him taking the dumplings form her plate. Although that was also something very close people did, they were still just dry dumplings, all individually separated.

You want some? Here you go Ye Lang pushed his bowl to the center of the table, gesturing for her to eat.

<i> Fine, you think Im scared of you? Ive shared food from the same bowl in the military too! </i> She clenched her teeth, then ate the dumplings and even drank some of the soup.

Li Yues face was a little red but Ye Lang thought it might be because of the hot soup.

Li Yue had shared food in the military before but they were all females. Men and women were separated in the military unless they were part of the special forces.

What do you think? Its amazing, right? Fattys dumplings are the best! praised Ye Lang proudly.

What are you so proud for? Zhen Xiaoyans cooking is great but thats got nothing to do with you! she scoffed, for she felt like Ye Lang acted as if he was praising himself.

This was interesting. This meant him and Zhen Xiaoyan were very close, their relationship was not just a regular friendship.

Nothing to do with me? Fatty is my cook for life, it has everything to do with me! said Ye Lang.

Li Yue was silent. Shed heard of this too, she knew Ye Lang had shamelessly roped Zhen Xiaoyan into this position.

Meals over, time to go. Oh, right. Li Yue, do you want to pass your Tianji Armour to me first? Ill bring you to a nearby town and you can get back to the city on your own, said Ye Lang when he was done packing. This was an unfinished conversation from last night.

No, I watch you using the armour, or I wouldnt know if youd damage it. she shook her head as if she had already made a decision.

His brows furrowed with thought. Alright! Then well visit the tiger tribe together. You dont have anything much going on anyway, itll be like a few-months-long vacation!

If Li Yue had made her decision, Ye Lang decided to go with it. She was still the owner of the Tianji armour. As long as she let him use it, she could watch if she wanted.

Alright! Li Yue nodded.

This is better too. With you here, I dont think Ill get lost! he said with a grin.

Get lost? What do you mean? only people close to him knew of this.

Not knowing the way, ending up in the wrong place, explained Ye Lang, though it sounded more like he was explaining the definition of the phrase.

Whatever, it was pointless talking to an idiot.

Li Yue, in which direction should I travel to go to the tiger tribelands? Thankfully, he was talking to Li Yue. A regular person would not be able to find his/her bearings in the middle of this vast grassland, especially not point where the tiger tribe was.

Walk in that direction. Youll arrive at the empires borders once you exit the grasslands, then youll get to Afton Kingdom, then pass through Ahh before she could finish, Ye Lang had picked her up again, startling her.
