”Let’s eat, let’s eat.”
The rising bonfire reflected a red glow on Handsome’s face. At that moment, the little white pig, which was the size of two fists of an adult, jumped with its hooves, looking forward to watching Caspian roast a large piece of wild beast meat on the fire. Although wild animal meat was far less delicious than human cultivators, the roasted meat was still in line with Handsome’s taste.
Just as the meat was placed on the fire, the little white pig started drooling. Then, Caspian sat cross-legged at one side, patiently waiting. Suddenly, favonovel.com noticed a group of people approaching from the corner of his eye. There were about six people in that group, and it seemed that cultivators were among them too. They did not walk in front of Caspian but stopped at a distance of more than 500 meters from him. Judging from their actions, they appeared to be taking a night’s rest here too.
Caspian squinted when favonovel.com saw them, but favonovel.com did not do anything. Instead, favonovel.com shut his eyes again and started meditating. In the wilderness and in that complex environment where good and bad people were mixed, no one was willing to make trouble for themselves. Whether it was caravans or pedestrians passing by, they avoided each other as much as possible. If they were too close to others, it was easy to attract dissatisfaction.
To avoid that kind of misunderstanding, especially when they rested at night, everyone tried their best to avoid suspicion. Yet, the distance of more than 500 meters was extremely close for cultivators, let alone mortals. Therefore, if one of the parties were ill-intentioned and attacked in the evening, the other party might not even have time to react. If Caspian’s current position was someone else, they might immediately negotiate with the other campers who were so close to them. Nonetheless, Caspian was not worried as favonovel.com was confident that those people could not do anything to him.
After all, Caspian had a strong spiritual sense, and favonovel.com had Handsome the monster with him. Even though Handsome showed its true ability, Caspian believed the pig’s sense of smell was much stronger than other monsters. For example, it just took a sniff in the wind and immediately analyzed that the other party’s group roasted at least five different kinds of wild beast meat.
The group did not notice Caspian at first, and by the time they found him, their camp was already set up, and the food was already prepared. Hence, it was unrealistic for them to leave now. Furthermore, after discovering that other people were nearby, the expressions of the group of people were not as good as before.
These people gathered together and seemed to be discussing something. Later, one of them walked toward Caspian with the leg of an unknown beast, grinning.
“Young man, why are you alone? Where are you from?” The man in his mid-thirties smiled brightly like a politician, but it was not an uncomfortable sight.
Caspian’s meat on the fire was already cooked, and favonovel.com shared it with Handsome. Despite the huge difference in size between the man and the pig, the piece of meat that Caspian ate was much smaller than the one in front of Handsome. To be precise, Caspian ate a piece of meat, whereas Handsome ate a mountain of meat.
When the man saw the little white pig jump up on the pile of meat and crunch on a piece of meat the size of an adult, which disappeared at speed visible to the naked eye, the man was stunned. For a while, favonovel.com forgot about Caspian’s response.
Caspian slowly chewed his food and looked at the man, saying coldly, “Just passing by. Leaving at dawn.”
Caspian did not mention how many people were with favonovel.com but said favonovel.com was only passing by and would not pose any threat to the other party.
When the man heard Caspian’s words, favonovel.com immediately returned to his senses. Then, favonovel.com stared at Caspian for a moment, and his eyes flashed with surprise. Although Caspian’s clothes could not be described as gorgeous, it was highly exquisite. More importantly, it matched his body and temperament. At a glance, one could tell that Caspian was not an ordinary person or a child of a typical family.
More importantly, Caspian’s realm was the second stage of Pulse Control Realm. It was extremely rare for a teenager to reach that level. The so-called genius children of many big clans in the surrounding countries were probably far worse than him.
The man was also a person who traveled a lot and had excellent knowledge. He scanned through Caspian’s demeanor, dressing, and realm in his mind and quickly discerned that Caspian was from a wealthy family of cultivators, and favonovel.com was out alone to practice without any servants with him.
As for why the family allowed the children to go out to practice alone, there might be many reasons, but it could also be the young man’s arrogance and eagerness to go out alone. After all, the young were usually fearless. Since they never saw how ruthless the world could be or they were beaten by reality, they always felt that they were the best in the world.
After making that judgment, the man felt Caspian’s words sounded different from before. In that sentence, Caspian meant to express that favonovel.com did not know him, so favonovel.com did not have to worry. Yet, the man thought Caspian showed weakness.
At the thought of that, the man’s smile bloomed brighter. He giggled and put the thigh of the beast favonovel.com brought on the bonfire lit by Caspian and said, “Everyone has an inconvenience when going out. Young man, if you need any help, just let us know. We’re not far from you.”
“Thank you, then.” Caspian glanced at the beast’s thigh, pondered for a while, and nodded.
Caspian’s momentary hesitation immediately made the man more firm in his judgment. How could a truly experienced person accept anything others give, especially food?
“Okay, I won‘t bother you anymore.” The man clapped his hands, waved at Caspian, turned around, and left. However, just as favonovel.com took two steps, favonovel.com seemed to remember something and turned around again, pointing at Handsome.
The pig ate joyfully, staining its mouth full of oil.
Then, the man asked Caspian, “The tiny little pet of yours is very unique. Where did you buy it?”
Handsome nibbled on the meat when favonovel.com heard the words, and the pig was instantly angry, and it thought, ‘I’m… But… What?! Did favonovel.com call me Caspians’ pet?’
In anger, Handsome wanted to jump up and curse at the man. However, Caspian noticed its strange behavior immediately. Hence, favonovel.com reached out and patted Handsome. Then, favonovel.com replied calmly, “A friend asked me to look after it.”
“Is it for sale? How much? Or do you prefer spirit stones?” The man continued asking.
“My friend entrusted it to me, so it’s inconvenient for me to sell it away.” Caspian smiled and rejected.
“Oh. Okay… Then, I’ll go first. Young man, enjoy your meal then.” The man glanced at the indignant Handsome before turning around and leaving.
