Chapter 1040 - 1042: Amusement (7)
"Rest assured, as the daughter of Emperor Tian, even the macaques would not dare to make things difficult for you. As for Zhao Yang, I won’t indulge her antics anymore!"
Having received the man’s assurance, Cai Wei felt much better. She sat down, lay in the man’s embrace, and they talked for a while. Perhaps because of the exhaustion from running around all night, as she spoke, she unwittingly fell asleep...
When she awoke, the Sun was already slanted to the west.
She had been awakened by hunger. Not having eaten well last night in Lingbei, and after encountering Nangong Yi in the early morning without time for food, having slept for almost a whole day, she was utterly famished.
Nangong Yi was busy not far from her under a large tree, gutting a skinned Wild rabbit and preparing it for cooking.

"Roasting a Rabbit, just wait a bit, it’ll be ready soon!"
Nangong Yi caught a glimpse of Cai Wei’s just-awakened appearance, drowsy and bleary-eyed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly in good spirits. With a dagger in hand, he made several cuts in the body of the Rabbit and then took out many small paper packs from his Shun bag. Cai Wei stared, dumbstruck—not having expected Nangong Yi, a man of such lofty pride, to carry such equipment.

Cai Wei’s attention returned to the sleek Wild rabbit. Now, starving, her eyes gleamed fiercely as she wished she could immediately transform the plump Rabbit into a fragrant, golden-colored, crisp roast Rabbit, with its tender and juicy meat steaming hot in her belly.
Thinking about this, her stomach responded.
