Ahua picked up a bowl from the corner and wiped it clean, then went outside the cave to scoop up a handful of snow, put it over the fire to melt, brought it to a boil, then poured it out and scooped another bowl of snow water to boil.
Ning Xiaoxian quietly watched him work as she asked, "How did you end up at Jingshangxing Inn?" Last time, she had clearly left this little Cat Demon in the Central part of the Southern Continent.
Ahua looked very embarrassed. "Last time you put me down in that little town, I found a sesame cake shop and helped out there. At first things were going pretty well, but after more than half a month, things started going missing from the shop. At first it was some prepared rice dough and cakes, then money started disappearing. The shop owner began to suspect me. Although he didn't report it to the authorities, I couldn't stay there anymore."
