Before Rong Ye could push his luck any further with another kiss, a sudden knock echoed loudly at the wooden front gate.
Rong Ye's handsome face twitched in annoyance. Who the hell is knocking this early in the morning?!
However, Xuan Long didn't wait. He stepped past them with a cold, expressionless face and pulled the front door open.
Standing on the threshold was a young lad holding a steaming leaf. It was Rong Jinyu. The young man beamed brightly as he came face-to-face with the tall beastman.
"Good morning! Where is Auntie Qinglan?" Rong Jinyu asked cheerfully, flashing a bright smile. "I brought breakfast especially for her!"
He proudly presented a piece of tender roe deer meat, beautifully roasted to a golden-brown perfection and generously coated with a glistening, sweet honey glaze that made the morning air smell deliciously sweet.
Xuan Long's eyes narrowed dangerously.
