'Don't worry, Ningning. Don't feel burdened at all. It's not a waste of time.
From now on, I'll be in charge of killing monsters and earning our keep, and you can have the easy pickings every day, okay?'
Xie Ning returned to her tent in a daze, the charmer's words echoing in her mind.
She slammed her backpack onto the table, flopped onto her bed, and buried her face in her hands. 'That guy is quite a flirt.'
'He doesn't play by the usual rules at all.'
'Normally, someone with his high military rank should be serious and straight-laced.'
'But that guy went off the rails ages ago.'
Xie Ning rubbed her face and turned to see Zuo Li rushing into the tent excitedly. "Is the cargo plane here?"
"Yep!" Zuo Li nodded vigorously, beaming. "Ningning, hurry! Grab your gear and let's go!"
Xie Ning quickly shouldered her precious backpack and rushed outside with Zuo Li.
They passed Chen Xiao, who was hurrying inside to pack up all the pots, pans, and other utensils in the tent.
