Night had quietly fallen, and the wind outside the cave was turning cold.
She glanced back at Lian You and said softly, "Tonight, you can have this cave. I'll find another place to rest."
With that, she pushed aside the animal-hide flap at the cave entrance and walked out.
Jiang Ji and Qiu Ye, who were standing guard at the entrance, immediately went to her when they saw her emerge.
Jiang Ji asked with a face full of concern, "Female Master, where are you going? The food is almost ready. Aren't you going to eat?"
Chu Jing didn't pause for a moment, continuing straight ahead.
Jiang Ji grew anxious. He hurried to catch up, raising his voice to call out, "Xiao Jing!"
Chu Jing finally stopped and slowly turned to look at him.
There was no trace of a smile on her face.
"Go make some food. Stew some meat porridge with a bit of ginger and bring it to Lian You."
"Huh?"
Jiang Ji froze, a sour feeling churning in his heart.
