"Achoo!"
Qi Yan'er, walking through the forest, suddenly sneezed.
"My daddy must be thinking of me!"
The few people beside her couldn't help but twitch their mouths at her words.
This… she actually knew?
"Yan'er, why would you say that?" Nalan Yanran asked, a little curious.
Qi Yan'er blinked her big eyes and giggled, "Hehe~ My daddy often sings a song."
"If you suddenly sneeze, then it must be that I'm thinking of you~"
"..."
The group was stunned.
This song… seemed a little too sweet!
But it also proved that her father really, really loved her mother!
A man who was both powerful and pure!
Her mother really did get a great deal!
"Uncle Ge Ye, where exactly are we right now?"
Qi Yan'er looked around at the pitch-black environment, turning her little head to face Ge Ye.
"We're already close to the depths of the Beast Mountain Range."
Ge Ye's face was grave, yet also filled with surprise.
"It's strange, really. We haven't encountered a single magical beast along the way."
"What's so strange about that?"
Qi Yan'er rolled her eyes, a sweet smile gracing her lips.
"It's so late! The magical beasts must be sleeping!"
Sleeping?
Ge Ye's expression froze.
In all his years, this was the first time he'd heard such a thing.
Out of the mouths of babes!
"Perhaps the magical beasts really have gone to sleep."
Xiao Xun'er, standing to the side, offered a graceful smile.
"Uh..."
It would be one thing if a little girl said that, but even the mysterious Miss Xiao Xun'er said the same.
In Ge Ye's opinion, she was probably being fooled by Qi Yan'er.
Xiao Xun'er ignored Ge Ye and turned her gaze to Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian: "It's already dark. I think we should rest here for the night and enter the depths of the Beast Mountain Range tomorrow!"
"Alright~"
After being busy for over a day, Nalan Yanran would have wanted to rest long ago if Qi Yan'er hadn't stopped them.
Now, hearing Xiao Xun'er say that, she immediately agreed.
"Miss Xiao Xun'er is right. You can't travel at night in the Beast Mountain Range. The fact that we haven't seen any magical beasts is already strange, so we absolutely cannot take any risks."
Ge Ye reminded from the side.
He was reminding the three girls, but also reminding himself to always be vigilant.
This place! It's too dangerous!
"Uncle Ge Ye, you should have a tent in your Storage Ring, right?"
Qi Yan'er's big eyes were fixed on Ge Ye as she asked.
It sounded like a question, but it was really just a demand!
Ge Ye knew without thinking who among them was the one who wouldn't sleep!
It's me, of course!
"Sigh..."
Sighing deeply, Ge Ye took out a tent from his Storage Ring: "This tent is something I always carry with me, in case of emergencies. But it can only accommodate three people."
"Three people?"
Qi Yan'er tilted her little head, glancing at Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yi Xian. She then said happily, "Uncle Ge Ye, you can keep watch tonight. The three sisters can stay inside. As for me, I can squeeze in somewhere~"
Ge Ye: "..."
Of course! This old man's life is really tough!
"What are you standing around for?"
Just as Ge Ye was feeling dejected, Qi Yan'er's voice rang out beside him again.
With a kind smile on his face, Ge Ye asked curiously, "Hmm? Yan'er, do you need anything else?"
"Of course! The tents aren't even set up yet!"
Qi Yan'er seemed a little surprised.
"This old man..."
Ge Ye was speechless. So, he, a man past fifty, was expected to set up the tents!
His aged eyes swept over Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, who were currently sprinkling medicinal powder around the area, before he resigned himself to the task.
He couldn't very well let the young girl do it!
"Hehe~"
Seeing Ge Ye go to work, a look of smug satisfaction appeared on Qi Yan'er's face.
Indeed, Father was right.
A father who couldn't arrange things for his daughter was definitely not a good father!
Ge Ye: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?
Whose father was she talking about?
After everyone finished their work, Qi Yan'er sat on the ground and suddenly raised her small hand:
"I want to eat barbecue!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Ge Ye: o(╥﹏╥)o I don't want to!
His old face fell, and Ge Ye said solemnly:
"Yan'er, you know, you absolutely can't eat barbecue here."
"Why?"
Qi Yan'er pouted, clearly unhappy.
Ge Ye quickly explained, "Roasting meat is indeed the best food for solving hunger in the wilderness, but it depends on the location."
"It's fine to make a fire on the edge of the Beast Mountain Range, but making a fire here will definitely attract some high-level Magical Beasts."
"Magical Beasts aren't the scariest thing. The most terrifying thing is those who dare to come here to hunt Magical Beasts and take their cores!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Qi Yan'er nodded.
"Then, will Mu She and the others make a fire?"
"No!"
Xiao Yi Xian said lightly.
"As the leader of a Mercenary Group, I naturally understand this. Mu She is confident in his experience entering the forest, which is why he chose to bring Mo Li through the Beast Mountain Range!"
"Then, do you think if we start a fire, we'll Lure the Snakes from their Holes?"
A pair of watery, sparkling eyes twinkled with amusement.
"Er…"
Everyone was startled! Lure the Snakes from their Holes!
Ge Ye's eyes widened. "That's right! We can lure them over. With Mu She and the others' speed, they certainly won't blindly enter the depths of the Beast Mountain Range. Choosing to rest for a night on the outer edges would be their best option."
"Then, following this route, they shouldn't be too far from here!"
Nalan Yanran was a bit bewildered.
"Not too far... what does that have to do with you luring them here?"
"Of course!"
Ge Ye's face curved into a wicked smirk.
"If it were someone else, they might not be able to do it, but we... hehehe~"
Seeing Ge Ye's "lecherous old man" expression, the few women all took a step back in fright.
What is this old man planning to do?
"I might need you three to put on a show!"
"Uh!"
The three women exchanged glances, then suddenly realized something, their gazes falling on Qi Yan'er.
Being stared at by the three women, Qi Yan'er spread her small hands: "It's not my fault, sisters~ It's this old geezer's idea. Yan'er just wants to eat some roasted meat!"
Ge Ye: o(╥﹏╥)o I've been led by the nose by this little girl again?
"Tch!"
Xiao Xun'er raised her hand, and dry wood instantly burst into flames.
The moment the flames rose, the cold of the night vanished, replaced by a comfortable warmth.
"Roasted meat, yay!"
Licking her lips, Qi Yan'er was ecstatic.
Then, like a little adult, she used her small hands to work, and in a short while, she had roasted several skewers.
"Sisters, here you go~ Eat first."
Ge Ye's hand was already reaching out, but he abruptly pulled it back.
Doing the hardest work, eating the latest meal! Am I a servant now?
But it's alright, Yan'er didn't make me roast...
Wait!
Why wouldn't I just roast it myself?
"Yan'er, you eat first!"
Nalan Yanran waved her hand, concerned.
"You're at a growing age, and you've been hungry for almost a whole day."
"Waaah~"
Hearing this, Qi Yan'er immediately burst into tears.
"It feels so good to have someone let me eat first!"
"Er..."
Upon hearing this, the women immediately cursed her father a few times in their hearts.
Her father was really too much!
He only knew how to eat the good stuff himself!
"Achoo~"
