At noon, a thick fog descended over the Lin Tai Mountain.

A flash of light appeared in the Lin Tai Valley. Soon afterwards, the light became brighter, tearing through the white mist.

The white mist in the middle of Lin Tai Mountain spread out, and an unknown path opened up. The cultivators waiting in front of the Lin Tai Valley could see a green forest at the end of the path and the shadows of demon-beasts.

The cultivators were nervous after they saw the situation.

The environment of the Lin Tai Valley Hunt would change every time it opened. Since the dangers were unpredictable, the cultivators could only count on their luck. However, none of the cultivators would dare to give up the precious opportunity to gain experience. Thus, they wished to get more resources from the Lin Tai Valley Hunt.

“The Lin Tai Valley Hunt thus begins. Everyone can enter now and be careful.”

Emperor Cheng Hao, the person presiding over the Lin Tai Valley Hunt proclaimed with a clear voice.

The Ning disciples led by the Third Prince Ning Zhe Zhou headed first, following the disciples of the four aristocratic families of the Tanglin Kingdom, which were the Wen family, the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Zheng family. Then followed by the second-class families……

“Let’s go.”

Ning Yu Zhou was holding Wen Qiao’s hands. They entered Lin Tai Valley under the protection of 50 hidden bodyguards.

Emperor Cheng Hao was standing with the elders of other families, watching them move in.

At the moment they entered the Lin Tai Valley, a strong gush of spiritual energy rushed towards them. It made people feel comfortable, wanting to find a spot to cultivate.

But considering the cultivation resources in the Lin Tai Valley, the cultivators resisted their eagerness.

After they entered the Lin Tai Valley, the cultivators were grouped by families. They found a way and left.

Ning Zhe Zhou turned his head and looked at the Ning Yu Zhou couple and their hidden bodyguards. He slightly nodded his head as he brought the Ning disciples together with him. The disciples of other families were surprised at Ning Zhe Zhou’s actions. But they understood the situation after looking at the strong hidden bodyguards beside Ning Yu Zhou.

They were here for experiential training and search for resources, but not to hang around. Naturally, they could understand why Ning Zhe Zhou wasn’t together with the couple who were just visiting.

When the Wen disciples passed by them, Wen Mei glanced at Wen Qiao, who was under the protection of the hidden bodyguards. Then, she followed the Wen disciples and left.

Wen Qiao didn’t care about the people around them. She was looking at the green mountain peak in the distance.

She was curious about everything in the Lin Tai Valley. Her eyes were busy looking around, so she didn’t care about the people around them.

The most delightful thing was that the Lin Tai Valley had richer spiritual energy and more spiritual plants as compared to the outside world. Within her range of perception, there were several kinds of spiritual plants. Although they weren’t high in age or rank, they had richer vital essences of wood than other ordinary spiritual plants. The spiritual plants surrounding her made her heavy body relaxed.

Wen Qiao liked this place very much.

Ning Yu Zhou didn’t take the same road as other cultivators. When the cultivators left, they chose another deserted path.

They could see some low-ranked demon-beasts and young spiritual plants in the dense forest.

“Can I dig them?” Wen Qiao couldn’t help and asked.

Ning Yu Zhou replied with a smile: “If you like it, of course, you can.”

Wen Qiao answered with joy. She took out a jade spatula from her storage bag, dug up the spiritual plant with its soil, and put it in a jade box. She planned to plant it when they were back.

After Wen Qiao dug up several spiritual plants, she took a glance at Ning Yu Zhou, who was standing beside her, and the hidden bodyguards around them. She was blushing and quickly packed her things and said, “I’ve kept all of you waiting.”

Ning Yu Zhou took out a handkerchief to wipe the soil on her fingers, and said gently, “Don’t hurry. Take it slow, we don’t have to rush.”

Ning Yu Zhou said to take it slow, so they really took a long time.

As if they were nobles in the world of mortals going for a hunt. Looking around, the hidden bodyguards would attack the demon-beasts around them, and keep their carcasses into their storage bags as ingredients.

Soon they were a long way behind the cultivators who entered before them without noticing. Soon, there weren’t any cultivators around them.

Since they were still outside and there was another group of cultivators opening the path ahead of them, many demon-beasts were frightened away. Until now, their journey was peaceful. Thus, the demon-beasts they had met weren’t dangerous, so Wen Qiao didn’t sense any danger.

In the evening, they haven’t yet crossed a mountain. They decided to camp out in the mountains.

The hidden bodyguards were intelligent. They quickly chose a safe place to stay, set up traps around them along with their tents and a fire to roast the demon-beasts meat.

Wen Qiao sat on the wooden block shredded by a hidden bodyguard, watching Ning Yu Zhou take over an earthenware stove handed by the hidden bodyguard.

While she was wondering what he would do with the earthenware stove, she saw the hidden bodyguard beside him took out a few low-term flame amulets, dropping the activated flame amulets into the earthenware stove. Then, an orangish-yellow flame rose. Ning Yu Zhou turned the earthenware stove to warm it up.

Wen Qiao was clueless after watching his actions.

While Ning Yu Zhou just smiled at her without explaining.

Afterwards, she saw a hidden bodyguard was giving him a batch of processed ingredients. She found out the ingredients taken were the essential parts of demon-beasts. Ning Yu Zhou put them into the earthenware stove, added some water and covered its lid.

Wen Qiao’s expression became strange.

She finally understood what he was doing. Ning Yu Zhou was using the earthenware stove to make soup.

The flame amulet was a yellow graded amulet with the lowest rank. It had no killing power, so it was suitable for burning. Just like now, it was convenient to cook by using it as firewood. It produced a higher quantity of heat, thus it had no smoke, which made heating up food faster.

Within an hour, Wen Qiao smelled a rich and strong fragrance.

She stared at the earthenware stove with a surprised look. She never thought that soups could be made like this. It was the first time she had known that the earthenware stove could be used to cook, and it was not bad.

Meanwhile, Ning Yu Zhou opened the lid and added some green spiritual plant’s leaves into it.

Wen Qiao recognized that these were the spiritual plants picked by them today. The tenderest parts of the spiritual plants could be used as ingredients for boiling soup.

After two hours, the soup was finally ready.

Ning Yu Zhou opened the lid of the earthenware stove. He put a bowl of soup in front of Wen Qiao and said, “Have a try to know if it tastes good.”

It must be delicious. The rich fragrance of the soup was levitating in the air. Wen Qiao was worried that the scent might attract other demon-beasts.

Wen Qiao took a glance at him without any comment. She took the spoon and started to drink the soup slowly.

The soup was good. When she took the first sip, a strong and rich taste spread through her taste buds.

She was stunned, it was the best soup that Wen Qiao had ever had.

“Is it good?” Ning Yu Zhou asked.

Wen Qiao nodded and said seriously, “It’s very good, you should have it too.” She found out that all of the ingredients could only make a bowl of soup. She felt that she couldn’t have it by herself, she wanted to share it with him.

Thus, the essence was in this bowl of soup.

Ning Yu Zhou laughed, “This is Six Yang Seven Flavours Soup, it was made from six types of demon-beasts’ essence and seven types of spiritual medicine’s sprouts. It is perfect for people who have fire poison.”

After listening to his words, Wen Qiao knew the soup was made for her. Her feelings were a little mixed up.

While they were in the mountains, the demon-beasts hunted by the hidden bodyguards were specially selected to meet the requirements of the Six Yang Seven Flavour Soup. While she was digging the spiritual plants, Ning Yu Zhou picked some young leaves that could be used as medicine for her Six Yang Seven Flavour Soup.

Suddenly, Wen Qiao had the illusion that Ning Yu Zhou came to the Lin Tai Valley Hunt for her sake. The Lin Tai Valley had various kinds of demon-beasts and spiritual plants than the outside world. Here, they could quickly find the resources they needed.

After dinner, Wen Qiao and Ning Yu Zhou rested in their tents while the hidden bodyguards were guarding outside.

Wen Qiao was staring at Ning Yu Zhou with an expression as if she had something to say.

Ning Yu Zhou put down his book and saw Wen Qiao was staring at him. He took her hand and played in his palms, said laughingly, “Is there anything Ah Zhuo wants to ask?”

Wen Qiao said with a soft voice: “Why would you know how to make medicine food by using an earthenware stove?”

The soup was delicious. When she finished the soup, she felt warm, and the interfering pain from her veins had become lighter. It was more effective than a normal elixir, and it seemed to possess more effects than an elixir, so it was hard to describe. But there was no doubt that the soup was good for her health.

Wen Qiao soon understood that the Six Yang Seven Flavour Soup was made according to her health.

But how could a mortal know these?

Ning Yu Zhou said laughingly, “Although I am unable to cultivate, it’s not that I don’t know anything. I can know everything about the world of cultivators. Since I’ve seen a lot, I understand some of them. I’ve said before that I won’t let you die. Trust me.”

Wen Qiao didn’t give any response.

She didn’t care about his words the first time she heard them, but now she had a strange feeling.

The moment she decided to follow him here, she had left her death behind.

Since she was young, she knew that she couldn’t live a long life. Even though she had let herself go without thinking about it, as she grew older, she felt her body was weaker day by day. She was just struggling day by day. This was also the reason she had no objection to their marriage. She would soon be dead anyway, what does it matter whether she was married or not? Since Ning Yu Zhou wanted to marry her, she would just marry him.

She followed him here with this spirit in her mind. It would be best that there wasn’t any danger, but if she died in danger, she wouldn’t complain about anything but rather be happy that she could finally be able to leave the imperial city and take a look at the outside world.

These were all of her thoughts.

But now she knew that there was someone beside her who didn’t want her to die while she was living with the thought that she would die soon.

“Thank You.”

Wen Qiao looked at him as she said. She secretly decided in her heart, she would try to stay alive without failing his efforts.

Ning Yu Zhou smiled. He absolutely knew her thoughts and couldn’t help but sigh too.

How a —— kind and naive kid.

He said with a smile: “You don’t need to thank me. You’re my wife, I’m supposed to do all of these.”

Wen Qiao smiled at him too. Her smile showed her small dimple on her cheek and even her

little canine teeth, which made her soft and cute.

Ning Yu Zhou silently lowered his eyelids and held back his heart from fluttering. He didn’t do anything.

His little wife was so cute that he almost couldn’t hold back himself!
