: "Intriguing"
While Wu Lingyu was lying down in bed trying to sort out the clues he had, a tantalizing smell of barbeque wafted in.
Shortly, Sima You Yue walked in with a roasted chicken and saw that Wu Lingyu had indeed brought out more light pearls and the entire cave was illuminated as bright as day.
She then took out a table from her interspatial ring as well as a plate and placed the roasted chicken on the plate as she proceeded on carve the chicken into several pieces and asked: "Would you like to have some?"
She had given it some thought and had decided that since she won't be able to hide the fact that she could cultivate, she might as well openly use her interspatial ring for convenience. All she needed to do was to hide the fact that she had her own space which could keep live animals inside, she just needed to keep her Spirit Pearl's existence a secret.
"You can use an interspatial ring." Wu Lingyu said it very matter of factly, without any surprise.
"Well, as long as one's a Spirit Master, it can be used." She replied.
"Rumours has it that you can't cultivate, let alone sense the Spiritual Qi." He pointed out.
"As you've said, rumours." She brushed it off as she steered the conversation away: "Then what's-your-name, would you like to eat? If you aren't I'm eating it all."
"Wu Lingyu."
"Well then, Wu Lingyu, do you want to eat?" She asked again.
Usually he didnt eat such simple food but when he saw her bright eyes looking at him, he nodded his head and agreed.
Sima You Yue pushed the table to the bed so that he could sit up and eat. She then put some on a clean plate for him and she carefully savoured the rest of the meat, slowly picking at it. The way she ate it was also an art as she ate it elegantly.
Wu Lingyu picked up a chicken wing and bit into it without much thought. However, the burst of flavours that came right after was a huge surprise to him as he subconsciously took a bigger bite next.
"Never would I have thought that you are able to cook something so delicious!" Not having eaten anything so delicious in a long while, moreover in such a desolate place, he praised her generously.
"Theres more things that youve not thought before."
When she saw Little Roar enter, she took out the roast chicken she had prepared for him earlier from her interspatial ring.
"Yue Yue, youre so mean! Why didnt you call me when you have such good stuff here?" Little Roar couldnt speak now so he transmitted the message to her directly to her mind.
"Even if I didnt call you, arent you here now?" She affectionately poked him on his head. "I heard you happily chatting with another Spirit Beast just now, hmm, how did I not find out about this perverted personality of yours before?"
"Im not!" Little Roar weakly protested, however the vindication behind it also made it unable to believe it himself.
"Your contract beast?" Wu Lingyu asked as he looked at Little Roar in curiosity.
She glanced at him and replied: "Yes, a useless and perverted one at that."
"Hey! Who's useless!" Little Roar retorted.
"It's pretty cute." Wu Lingyu said.
"Thanks for your praise." By the time Sima You Yue finished gnawing on her last piece of chicken, she stood up and said: "It's safe in here. The Spirit Beasts won't encroach this area, so rest assured and recuperate well."
Following that, she left the cave.
Little Roar was holding the roast chicken and he looked at the cave entrance and turned his little head to look and Wu Lingyu. He seemed to be in a dilemna and he finally tore his gaze away from Wu Lingyu and went out of the cave with the chicken.
Although he was someone who appreciated beauty, the most important to him was still his Master.
When Wu Lingyu saw the reluctance Little Roar had, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After sensing Sima You Yue and Little Roar had gone far away, Fire Qilin appeared in his human form, donning on a set of fiery red robes and he swaggered over to his Master's side.
