Chapter 743: Does Weiya have some kind of problem?
"Stay safe." Chen Xun took a deep look at his wife. He did not know what she was going to do, and he had always known she had secrets, but he did not care. As long as she was his wife, he would pretend to know nothing, and he would not care about anything.
An Yinan nodded, "Understood."
Her figure moved quickly. The moment she left, many people opened their eyes, looked at her back, and then closed them again.
After An Yinan left this area, she went straight to the Back Mountain. In these past few days, everyone's physical exhaustion had reached a peak. Now, the place for the Gun King Special Training was covered in cameras everywhere, and her items bore the markings of Huaguo; it would not be easy for her to take them out.
She had no choice but to go to the Back Mountain, find the place from before, and pick some medicinal herbs, as well as some seasoning herbs and popping beads.
She also caught three rabbits, one for each person. She couldn't take more, or it would make others jealous, even though she didn't care.
Just then, as she was roasting them, two people suddenly walked over. One looked a bit old, with a white beard and white hair, his long hair tied up high, wearing a set of tattered clothes with two holes in the knees—he looked a bit pitiful?
"Can I mooch a bite of meat?" the older man asked with a chuckle.
An Yinan looked at them, then looked at the things beside her, "Then you have to catch your own rabbits; my rabbits aren't enough to share."
Being a soft-hearted pushover was fine, but there was a time and place for it. When one could barely survive oneself, she wasn't that soft-hearted, especially in the place of the Gun King Special Training; everyone here was no saint.
"I'll go catch a rabbit!" The young man, whose personality seemed a bit flighty, ran straight up the mountain after hearing An Yinan's words.
These two people were none other than Weiya and Aila from the monitoring room.
It wasn't that they hadn't tried roasting rabbits before, but the meat of the rabbits they roasted was very tough and impossible to chew. Moreover, they had used those popping beads, and not only was there a spicy flavor, but there was also a peculiar bitterness. After one bite, they threw them straight to the beast mountain over there.
Seeing her come by herself today, the two of them disguised themselves and hurried over.
"Young lady, are you here for the special training too?" The old man looked at An Yinan, his face full of smiles, carrying a look of satisfaction.
Before, he had only watched her on the monitors, but now he had finally seen her in person. Her real-life state and demeanor were things that couldn't be seen on the monitors.
"Yeah, special training. Let me tell you..." An Yinan was just about to speak, but then she thought of something and stopped herself.
Weiya felt a bit confused. Wasn't she going to tell him?
Why was she being such a tease?
"Why did you stop?" Weiya asked directly.
An Yinan sized him up for a long moment, "What do you do here?"
Weiya and Aila had already prepared their story, so they immediately answered with a chuckle, "Me? I'm just a cook. I make the meals for those instructors."
He was telling the truth; he really did make the meals for those people, and his culinary skills were actually quite good.
An Yinan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good then."
"Tell me, does that Weiya have some kind of problem?"
However, her second sentence almost made Weiya choke to death. He coughed lightly twice, smelling the aroma of the roasted rabbit. Why was it that with the same ingredients, the smell was so different?
When they roasted them, there was only a bitter, spicy smell; how could there be such a fragrant scent?
"What's wrong? Did Weiya provoke you?" Weiya asked curiously.
An Yinan nodded, "You tell me, I was living perfectly fine in Huaxia, raising my kids, showing filial piety to my elders, and hanging out with friends, and then he sends out a summons, and I end up in this godforsaken place."
"And he even summoned me by my full name. What's the deal? Did your Heaven over here place an order with him? Does he have to send a certain number of people every year just to live a long life?"
Hearing her words, Weiya couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then he answered with a chuckle, "Could it be that he values your ability? And wants you to inherit his Special Training Base?"
An Yinan rolled her eyes, "Forget it, what would I want with this godforsaken place!"
"I didn't sign a contract with Heaven, nor did I sign a contract with the King of Hell, so there's no need to send people over."
Weiya didn't know how to answer; he was stifled by every word. If it weren't for his years of Nurturing Qi Technique, he would probably want to cover his face and run away right now.
"Hey, old man, is there not enough to eat here? Why do you look so poor?"
Look at this old man's clothes. Even if he's just a cook, he's a person who cooks for those instructors, yet he's dressed so shabbily. What is going on!
Sure enough, this dump doesn't just curse her; it curses a lot of people!
Weiya coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then looked at An Yinan and said with a smile, "Training isn't just about training your abilities; it's also about training your survival skills."
The current training is just the preliminary phase; when the later training begins, that will be the real start.
An Yinan raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised.
"You eat first." The other one hadn't returned yet, and An Yinan estimated there was enough time.
Weiya smiled, "I'll wait. He should be back soon."
Before his words had even faded, Aila returned. In one hand, he carried two rabbits. The rabbits were fat and large, much fatter than the ones An Yinan had found at random.
An Yinan took one look and realized he had gone into the inner mountain. No wonder it took so long; she hadn't seen such fat rabbits in the outer mountain.
Moreover, Aila had already cleaned the rabbits. An Yinan took the rabbits, checked the texture of the meat, and then, while crushing the popping beads, she also crushed a Pill and smeared it directly onto the rabbit meat. With the cover of the popping beads, the faint scent of the Pill didn't drift out at all.
Afterward, she used three types of grass leaves to rub them inside and out, then stuck them onto the sticks Aila had brought back, and handed the rabbits to him, "You roast them."
Her three rabbits were already roasted and wrapped in large leaves, ready to be taken back to eat later.
She then deftly applied the seasoning to the other three and handed them all to them.
"Once you're done roasting, remember to put out the fire. Otherwise, if something happens, I will sell you out," An Yinan reminded them.
"I'm leaving, old man. See you later."
An Yinan carried her three rabbits and, while speaking, hurried down the mountain.
Weiya looked at An Yinan's retreating figure, thinking of the person in the monitor who asked a question with every step; it seemed like two different people.
This...
Is this what she's like in private?
Unrestrained and free, seemingly always having her own ideas.
He seemed to appreciate this person more and more.
