Chapter 125: Chapter 122 Thorough Care

Zhang Jie hadn’t even reacted when the pheasant fell, and then a rabbit showed up.

As soon as the rabbit appeared, it too fell.

It fell, and another rabbit came running.

Then it too fell.

Zhang Lian watched, dumbstruck.

Some small animals were too far away and needed time to come over. In her free time, Ruo Xuan turned to Zhang Lian, "See, wasn’t I lying?"

"I told you, many of the prey in my house were hunted by my sister. Do you believe it now?" Ruo Hang said proudly.

Xue Jiajie looked at Ruo Xuan with admiration, "I never doubted, I always knew Xuanbao was amazing!"

Seeing is believing, Zhang Lian couldn’t disbelieve even if he wanted to.

He looked at the slingshot in Ruo Xuan’s hand, not understanding how this tiny slingshot could possibly be more powerful than the bow and arrow in his hands.

Or was it that the pheasants and hares of this great mountain had never been hunted by humans, and were therefore particularly dumb?

Ruo Bo said, "In a while, more prey will appear, just wait and see!"

Ruo Xian added, "Right, and many more will come running out soon, don’t make noise and scare them away."

Ruo Bo and Ruo Xian said this as they ran over to pick up the pheasants and rabbits to put them in the cages.

These pheasants and rabbits had just fainted, not died, and would wake up shortly. They had experience.

Zhang Jie excitedly ran over to Ruo Xuan’s side, "Xuanbao, you’re really incredible! I want to try too!"

Ruo Xuan was about to give the slingshot to Zhang Jie, but Ruo Zhou, not wanting his sister to be without a slingshot, handed his own over to Zhang Jie, "Here, give it a try."

Zhang Jie took it happily, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Xuanyuan Que said, "There are pigeons flying over, don’t make noise."

Ruo Xuan then picked up a large net for catching fish, which she had Uncle Three make especially for catching wild pigeons.

The Ruo siblings also quickly grabbed a net each, one for each person.

Then, Zhang Jie and the others saw a few white pigeons flying out of the woods.

Each of the Ruo siblings, holding a net, pounced!

Except for Ruo Xian, who missed, every one of them covered a wild pigeon.

Zhang Lian was completely at a loss for words!

Zhang Jie and Xue Jiajie were thrilled, "I want to try too!"

"I want to try as well."

Even the always gentle and refined Zhang Qian couldn’t help picking up a net, ready to pounce—not for butterflies, but for pigeons!

...

Half an hour later, Zhang Lian looked at the pheasants, wild pigeons and hares in several cages, as well as a wild boar tied under a large tree, and he was completely convinced by Ruo Xuan!

Xuanbao was definitely a treasure!

The cages were full. Zhang Qian, still sensible, quickly said, "That’s enough for today, no more hunting. It’s getting late, and Xuanbao and Young Master Xuanyuan still have class to attend. We haven’t even eaten lunch yet!"

There was a break for one and a half hours at midday, and although Ruo Xuan had left class early, there was now just half an hour left before classes resumed.

Ruo Zhou, always playing the role of the elder brother and looking after his siblings, had already thought of this. While everyone was busy catching wild pigeons and pheasants, he took a cage of pheasants and accompanied Zhang Qian’s two guards to the river to slaughter the chickens, and by now, they had already been prepared.

"We’ll roast chicken and fish," said Ruo Zhou, carrying several plucked chickens back.

The two guards of the Zhang Family also held several fish, which they had casually caught in the river just now.

The Ruo siblings immediately went to start a fire, all of them very skilled at this task, having grown up roasting sweet potatoes and bird eggs in the wild.

Ruo Xuan said, "I want to eat roasted wild rabbit."

Ruo Zhou, adept at starting fires, replied, "Wild rabbit is a bit more troublesome to prepare. Can you wait to eat it tonight? Big brother will roast it for you later."

Ruo Xuan nodded, "Okay!"

At that moment, Xuanyuan Que returned with a wild rabbit and a wild chicken he had prepared.

Ruo Xuan’s eyes lit up, and she ran to Xuanyuan Que’s side, "Brother Xuanyuan, can you share a rabbit leg with me after you roast the wild rabbit?"

Xuanyuan Que said indifferently, "Gather firewood to start a fire."

Ruo Xuan immediately ran off to collect firewood.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the game was on the fire, roasting.

Xuanyuan Que skillfully roasted a chicken and a rabbit.

Xuanyuan Que knew she was craving, so he used Spiritual Power to control the heat, trying to cook the wild rabbit and chicken as quickly as possible.

Ruo Xuan sat beside Xuanyuan Que, eagerly watching the golden-brown wild chicken and rabbit on the rack, and inhaling the savory aroma of the roasting meat.

Her mouth was almost watering.

She glanced at what the others were roasting; some of the parts had blackened skins, no one roasted as well as Divine Lord Xuanyuan!

After a quarter of an hour, Xuanyuan Que peeled off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ruo Xuan.

Ruo Xuan happily accepted it, "Thank you, Brother Xuanyuan!"

She had intended to blow on it before eating, but when she took the roasted rabbit leg, she realized the temperature was just right, not hot at all, obviously Divine Lord Xuanyuan had used Spiritual Power to cool it down.

Ruo Xuan joyfully took big bites.

Zhang Jie, wanting to roast her own food, hurriedly said, "Can we eat it so soon? Then my roasted chicken should be ready too, right?"

Zhang Qian replied, "No, it’s not cooked yet!"

Ruo Xuan said, "Yours aren’t ready yet, Brother Xuanyuan controls the heat so well, that’s why it cooked faster. Do you want to try what Brother Xuanyuan roasted?"

Xuanyuan Que peeled off a chicken leg for himself to eat and said lightly, "Not enough to go around, we can’t wait for their cooking, we have a class soon."

Zhang Jie didn’t dare to eat what Xuanyuan Que roasted; she hastily waved her hands, "No need! You guys have class soon, you eat first. We don’t have classes, so we can take our time to roast."

Xuanyuan Que only ate half a chicken before he stopped eating, he stood up and said to Ruo Xuan, "I’m full now, you can have the rest."

After saying that, he went to the riverbank to wash his hands, then he picked a few bunches of wild grapes from the nearby vineyard and came back.

The wild grapes were very sour, but he ripened them with Spiritual Energy, making them very sweet.

Xuanyuan Que shared the grapes with a few children.

While the chicken was still not ready, Zhang Jie couldn’t stop eating the sweet grapes, "They’re so sweet! Delicious!"

Ruo Xuan thought the roasted meat was tastier than the wild grapes.

Ruo Xuan quickly finished the half chicken and the wild rabbit, and habitually reached out to Xuanyuan Que, "Brother Xuanyuan, a handkerchief."

Xuanyuan Que handed her a clean handkerchief he had moistened in the river, "Clean up, it’s time to go back to class."

Ruo Xuan took it, wiped her mouth, then her hands, and naturally handed it back to Xuanyuan Que when done.

Xuanyuan Que, as usual, took it back.

The Ruo brothers watched, "..."

Were they too much of a failure as brothers?

Just look how thoroughly Xuanyuan Que took care of his little sister!

Ruo Xuan said to everyone, "I’m off to class! Big brother, second brother, third brother, brother, please take good care of my friends for me!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jie felt somewhat reluctant, "Xuanbao, why are you going to study so quickly? I was actually going to ask if you’d study with me. My mother has hired a very famous Master for me. If you studied with me, we could play together after class!"

Xue Jiajie nodded and said, "Xuanbao, if you want to study, why not come to my family’s school? The Master teaching at our family school is also very famous! That way, we could play together after class!"

Ruo Xuan thought that Master Han was a bit strict, Yan Jiaojiao and Yan Huan always got punished to write characters, perhaps she should take Yan Jiaojiao and the others to study with Zhang Jie’s group?

So, she asked, "Does your Master punish you by making you write characters?"

Xuanyuan Que glanced at Ruo Xuan.
