Everyone moved to the open space just outside the wooden hut. Xuan Long spread a large, clean beast hide on the ground as a makeshift mat.
The group settled down comfortably in a loose circle under the blue sky, the vast plain of the Dragon Beast City stretching around them.
Su Qinglan's eyes widened the moment she saw the dishes. Hu Yan had prepared a generous meal, a simple but mouth-watering one: fragrant braised meat chunks, stir-fried wild vegetables with garlic, tender roasted ribs and a hearty bone soup.
Nothing too complicated for their primitive setting, yet everything smelled incredibly delicious.
They all started eating. Su Qinglan took a big bite and immediately placed her hand on Hu Yan's arm. "Hu Yan, you cook such delicious food! Really, it's amazing."
Hu Yan's face turned slightly red. His eyes crinkled with a pleased smile as he quickly scooped more meat and vegetables into her bowl.
