By the time he finally managed to calm her down, the sun was already high in the sky.
Accompanied by Yu Feng'Er, Lü Zhong went to the Waterside Pavilion to rest. He suddenly remembered the pile of ingredients in his Storage Bag. Although they would stay fresh inside, he felt they might lose some flavor if left for too long.
