Qin Yan quickly walked into Little girl's bedroom on the second floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Little girl sitting on the bed, crying loudly.
Heh heh! She's still just a child after all.
She would still cry if she woke up and couldn't see anyone.
Qin Yan smiled and shook his head, then walked over.
"Alright, don't cry anymore." Qin Yan patted her small head, comforting her.
Hearing the movement and feeling the touch on her head, Little girl stopped crying. She opened her tear-filled eyes, gazing intently at Qin Yan through blurry vision for a moment.
Suddenly, Little girl jumped up and latched onto Qin Yan, then opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on Qin Yan's head.
"Oh? What's wrong?" Qin Yan was momentarily stunned by her sudden pounce, his vision instantly darkening. He let out a light cry.
"Alright, alright, don't mess around, come down quickly," Qin Yan said after recovering and pulling at Little girl.
However, Little girl was completely unmoved, still biting Qin Yan's head vigorously, shaking her small head left and right like a puppy tearing at something, and making whining sounds, seemingly venting her dissatisfaction.
Qin Yan also put all his strength into pulling her, but no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't get her off. This left him feeling helpless, so he figured he might as well let her hang there for now.
Not to mention, Little girl's biting strength was quite considerable. If it weren't for his powerful strength, his head might have been bitten open by her.
"Qin Yan, are you ready?" At this moment, Luo Tianyi, who was following behind, also arrived.
"Hahaha! Qin Yan, what are you doing? What's wrong with her? Why is she hanging all over you?" Before Qin Yan could answer, Luo Tianyi burst out laughing.
Perhaps because she heard someone laughing, Little girl paused, then let go. Qin Yan also took this opportunity to quickly remove Little girl from his body.
Phew!
Qin Yan let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Luo Tianyi, who was still laughing, and said with a helpless expression, "Alright, stop laughing!".
"Pfft! Qin Yan, how did you end up like this just picking someone up?" Seeing Qin Yan's awkward appearance, Luo Tianyi let out another chuckle.
"It's nothing, just Little girl's morning grumpiness."
"Hmph!" Xiao Liya, who seemed to have understood, snorted from the side.
Uh!
Qin Yan awkwardly scratched his head. She understood. He wanted to say something else but decided against it, quickly changing the subject: "Alright, alright, let's go eat! Don't let them wait too long."
"Mhm mhm mhm, right, right, right, let's go." Remembering the purpose of coming up, Luo Tianyi said, suddenly enlightened.
Hearing "eat," Little girl's eyes instantly lit up. She sharply raised her head, staring blankly at Qin Yan, her lively eyes sparkling with dazzling light, wide-eyed and full of yearning and expectation.
She tugged at Qin Yan's clothes and said in a soft voice, "I want to eat too, I'm hungry."
Her innocent and adorable appearance made people's hearts almost melt. She was completely different from how she was just now, messing around on his head.
"Haha! Okay, let's eat together." Qin Yan said, extending his hand with a smile to signal Little girl to take his hand.
"Mhm!" Hearing this, Little girl nodded heavily, replying with powerful conviction.
Then she extended her small hand, placed it in Qin Yan's, and followed Qin Yan's steps out of the room.
Coming downstairs and meeting up with everyone, they all smiled and greeted Little girl, but Little girl didn't respond at all. Instead, she stared at everyone with a fierce expression. It seemed Saiyan's mission was firmly rooted in her heart. He could only think of a way later, slowly!
Everyone didn't mind, thinking it was just a sign of shyness, and only found her fierce-but-cute appearance endearing, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Let's go!" Seeing everyone gathered, Father Luo spoke.
Then the group walked out the main door and headed towards the venue.
...
By the time Qin Yan and his group arrived at the venue, it was already packed with people.
The surroundings were brightly lit, and a huge bonfire was set up in the center of the venue. At this moment, this red mass completely dominated the green mountain forest. The vigorous firelight warmed the surrounding air, making people's hearts feel warm.
The dancing flames seemed to stir the passion in people's hearts, accompanied by a crackling sound, like strings of festive firecrackers joining the fun.
At this moment, both adults and children instantly became excited. They all held hands, gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing freely and joyfully.
Tables were placed along the edge of the venue, laden with abundant food and fine wine. There were steaming, golden-brown roasted meats, and various fresh fruits and vegetables, dazzling the eye and greatly stimulating the appetite.
Everyone was infected by the lively scene before them, their faces showing excitement, eager to dive in.
Xiao Liya's uncontrollable tears flowed from the corners of her mouth, her eyes gleaming. She stared intently at the tempting roasted meat on the table, constantly steaming and glistening with oil, her small hands waving in the air. If Qin Yan hadn't been holding her, she would have rushed over without hesitation.
"Oh! Young friend Qin Yan has arrived, come quickly, everyone is waiting for you." The Village Chief, on the high platform, saw Qin Yan and his group who had just arrived, and raised his arms to shout.
It was this sudden shout that made the entire venue fall into an unprecedented tranquility. Everyone looked with eager gazes in the direction the Village Chief was pointing.
Everyone had heard that tonight's protagonist was a child, and it was because of him that tonight's bonfire gathering was held, but many people had not yet seen Qin Yan, so they were all very eager to know what Qin Yan looked like and who he was.
Seeing everyone's gaze fall upon him, Qin Yan inevitably felt a bit uncomfortable, so he quickly raised his hand and greeted everyone, "Hello, everyone!"
"Good, welcome! Welcome!" The crowd immediately responded with enthusiastic cheers.
Then, under the admiring gazes of the crowd, they slowly walked towards the Village Chief. Qin Yan and his group's faces were flushed at this moment. Xuan Yi and the others probably experienced this for the first time. However, Little girl Liya was fine, her innocent eyes curiously observing her surroundings.
Phew! Finally arriving beside the Village Chief, Qin Yan let out a sigh of relief. Although the distance was not far, Qin Yan felt it was the most arduous and longest walk he had ever taken.
"Alright, everyone quiet down. Today, we must thank Qin Yan. It is he who brought such a generous gift, and we, too, benefited, being able to host this grand and lively gathering. So, let us all give our warmest cheers to welcome young friend Qin Yan!"
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Led by the Village Chief, everyone shouted continuously, their deafening voices piercing the sky and echoing through the desolate wilderness.
"Qin Yan, say a few words!"
"Forget it, Village Chief."
"It's fine, come on."
"Village Chief, let's not force the child. They're still young and a bit shy, don't make it difficult for him." At this moment, Mother Luo, standing behind, noticed Qin Yan's troubled expression and came to his rescue.
"This, alright!" Seeing Qin Yan's pleading look, the Village Chief reluctantly gave up.
"Phew! Thank you, Village Chief, thank you, Aunt Lanya." Qin Yan felt relieved, his face brightening with joy as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"You child."
Subsequently, under the Village Chief's explanation and inspiring words, everyone's passion was reignited, and they resumed singing and dancing.
"Village Chief, then we'll go get something to eat first." Qin Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Village Chief.
"Mhm, good. Please enjoy yourselves. There aren't many good things in the village, so please forgive us if the hospitality is not up to par."
"Not at all, this is already great. Thank you, Village Chief. Then we'll head down." With that, Qin Yan turned and walked towards Xuan Yi and the others.
"Let's go! We should go too!" Qin Yan said to the group.
"Okay!"
"Goodbye, Village Chief!" The group greeted the Village Chief and then turned to walk towards the venue.
"Haha! Good!" The Village Chief responded with a smile.
Qin Yan and the others found a relatively empty spot and sat down.
"Everyone, help yourselves!" Looking at the array of tempting food, Father Luo said with a smile to everyone.
"Eat up! Qin Yan, Xuan Yi, Xiao Bei, Xiao Fei." Mother Luo also said.
"Alright, then I won't be polite." Qin Yan replied to them, then said to Little girl beside him, "You can eat now, Little girl."
Already drooling and unable to hold back, Xiao Liya's eyes lit up when she heard Qin Yan's words. She suddenly stretched out her tender little hand to grab a plump and juicy piece of roasted meat in front of her. "Ah!" Xiao Liya let out a soft cry, immediately withdrawing her hand the moment it touched the meat. It seemed she was too eager and got burned.
"Hahahaha!" Her cute appearance made everyone burst into laughter.
"Don't rush, take your time." Everyone smiled and comforted her.
At this moment, Mother Luo picked up a small, freshly cut piece of meat, blew on it to cool it down, and then offered it to Xiao Liya, saying with a smile, "Here! Little girl, this piece is for you, it's not hot, eat it."
Xiao Liya raised her small head, looked at it, and without a word, took the roasted meat. She opened her mouth and swallowed it in one bite. In an instant, one piece of roasted meat was gone. She even licked her lips, savoring the taste, seemingly still not satisfied. So, she looked up at Mother Luo with her bright, clear eyes, indicating she wanted another bite.
Seeing Xiao Liya's adorable appearance, Mother Luo felt her heart melt. She then prepared to cut another piece from the plate.
Qin Yan watched this scene and shook his head. He whispered to Xiao Liya, "Xiao Liya, this won't do. When you receive a gift from someone, you should learn to say thank you first!"
Xiao Liya turned her head upon hearing this, her big eyes full of doubt as she looked at Qin Yan. After a moment of thoughtful silence, she looked up and nodded at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan looked at Xiao Liya's innocent expression and wasn't sure if she truly understood, but from her appearance, she probably did, right? It seemed that changing was not something that happened overnight. Slowly but surely!
"Here, eat." Before long, Mother Luo had cut another piece and offered it to Xiao Liya.
Looking at the tempting roasted meat, Little girl's saliva unconsciously flowed out. After a quick slurp, she opened her mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, after a few chews,
as if she remembered something, she whimpered to Mother Luo, "Mhm! Th-thank you!" Although it was a bit muffled, it was still clear that she was saying "thank you."
"Hahahaha! You're welcome, eat slowly, don't choke. You're truly adorable, just like them when they were little." Mother Luo said with a smile to Little girl, then looked at Little girl's cheeks, bulging with food, and couldn't help but find it cute, so she reached out and gently touched Xiao Liya's cheek.
This made Little girl pout unhappily, seeming a bit displeased. However, after a moment, seeing Mother Luo offer another piece of roasted meat, Little girl's expression relaxed again, and she eagerly ate another piece, no longer caring so much about Mother Luo's touching.
This left Qin Yan dumbfounded; the turnaround was too quick.
"Qin Yan, would you like a piece too?" Mother Luo suddenly asked Qin Yan.
"No, it's fine, I'll help myself, Auntie. You shouldn't just focus on feeding Little girl, eat something yourself too."
"Alright, then just eat whatever you like. Don't mind Auntie, Auntie isn't very hungry. Seeing you all eat happily makes Auntie happy too."
"Okay!" Seeing this, Qin Yan replied and then redirected his attention back to the food in front of him, ready to dig in.
So, he picked up a piece of dark red, fragrant roasted meat in front of him and began to eat. With one bite, it was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, spicy and fresh. Chewing carefully, the meat was delicious, not greasy or gamey, with a unique flavor.
The savory meat, refined by charcoal fire, was already fragrant, and with the added color from the salt and pepper and chili sauce, it became even more flavorful, tender, crispy, savory, and spicy, all dancing in his mouth instantly. The delicious taste reached the tip of his tongue, and his mouth full of meaty aroma made him feel as if he were in a fairyland.
It was too delicious, a long-lost taste that made Qin Yan unable to help but shed tears. He then began to eat heartily.
The mountain of food on the table gradually diminished and disappeared under everyone's efforts.
After a long while, the venue suddenly became quiet. There was no singing or dancing, and it seemed only two sounds of eating echoed in the corner.
Qin Yan, still diligently eating, seemed to notice something unusual. He looked up, and to his surprise, everyone was staring at him with wide eyes, or more accurately, at him and Xiao Liya next to him, with eyes like they were looking at monsters.
This left Qin Yan a bit confused, so he smiled at everyone.
"Qin Yan, how many days have you two been hungry?! Your appetites are too good! You look smaller than us, but you can eat so much food, it's truly amazing!" Luo Tianyi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement, amazed by the two little ones' appetites.
"Hehe! Because I haven't had such delicious food in a long time, my appetite is good, my appetite is good," Qin Yan said with a slight smile.
He looked at the mountain of bones piled behind them and the empty plates stacked higher than an adult on the table. It was clear just how much Qin Yan and Liya could eat—it was truly savage.
Feeling a bit awkward, he cautiously glanced at everyone. But he couldn't help it; the food was too delicious, and with Saiyan's powerful stomach, it seemed impossible to ever feel full. Before he knew it, he had eaten so much. And even after eating all that, Qin Yan still only felt about seventy percent full.
"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into joyful laughter at this amusing scene.
After that, they no longer focused on Qin Yan and Liya, continuing their lively banquet.
From then on, Qin Yan no longer planned to continue eating. He had had enough, so as not to scare everyone again. However, Little girl beside him was still eating carefree.
Qin Yan smiled and shook his head, not bothering her, letting her eat her fill.
Jie! Jie! Jie!
It's really lively here!
Suddenly, a strange, atmosphere-breaking sound came from the air.
Everyone looked up to see two huge winged monsters standing upright in mid-air.
Their terrifying laughter sent chills down everyone's spines.
