Chapter 637

Chapter 637 Salt and Pepper Grilled Meat

Two people walked one after the other through the forest. Since this place was deep in the mountains with few traces of human presence, there were no paths in the woods, only dead branches and fallen leaves. Occasionally, there were some moss-covered stones. The uphill and downhill journey was not easy.

Yu Baichou, who had spent years traveling, and being a cultivator himself, could still manage the trek relatively steadily. But this white-clothed young lady seemed like someone who had always been sheltered in her chambers, certainly not accustomed to such mountain trails.

To Yu Baichou’s surprise, however, the white-clothed young lady moved through the forest like a fluttering butterfly, light and graceful. If not for the fact that she did not emit any signs of cultivation, Yu Baichou would have thought she was another prodigy from a holy land.

Alas, the young lady herself did not know why, and Yu Baichou could only marvel at how fitting it was for a daughter of a prestigious family, whose parents must be extraordinary indeed.

“In my opinion, Miss Luo might want to try visiting the Butterfly Dress Valley. They are mostly women, and during festivals and banquets, they are often invited by high-ranking officials to perform music and dance. This way, you might encounter your family or someone familiar.”

“Perform music and dance?”

“Yes, their musical skills are quite impressive. Even in combat, their Qingye Penhua Sword Technique and the Hua Die Seven Divisions are well-known.”

“The majority of their members cultivate either Yuan Yi or Bai Hua, focusing on speed, agility, and elegance.”

“Um, if it’s a performance, there will likely be many people watching,” the young lady said reluctantly, looking down at the green grass and white wildflowers at her feet.

“Oh, I hadn’t considered that carefully enough. You see, Miss Luo is a young lady of high status, and having her perform might not be appropriate. If her family has strict rules, I could be held accountable for suggesting such a thing.”

“There’s no need to rush. Later, I can take Miss Luo to Zhou City. It’s much more bustling there, and many sects have outposts. We can choose more carefully then.”

“Thank you, Uncle Yu.” A warmth spread through the young lady’s heart.

Actually, after waking up, she found herself surrounded by strangers and couldn’t recall anything about her past. She felt very anxious. However, she managed to keep her emotions in check. Now, these words from the uncle provided her with some comfort.

Down.

At least it was someone familiar leading the way.

The two of them traveled through the mountain area for most of the day, and as evening approached, they found a sheltered spot to temporarily rest.

As the bright yellow campfire rose, waves of warmth dispelled the chill of the mountain air, and the two continued their conversation.

“Is there still a long way to reach a place with people?” the young lady asked curiously.

“Yes, we need to travel for another day and night to reach the village outside the mountains.”

Yu Baichou took out his ox horn knife, sliced some beef into thin strips, laid them on a stone, and placed them near the fire to roast. Then he sprinkled some salt powder he had prepared beforehand, and a fragrant aroma spread.

“Do you want to try some? Although my cooking skills are average, it’s still edible.”

“Thank you.”

The young lady took the beef skewered with two sharpened sticks, examined it closely. The meat slices were slightly curled, with edges that were slightly crispy and golden, while the center remained tender, oozing a faint sheen of oil, which moistened the salt and seasonings, releasing an enticing aroma.

【Grilled Leng Beef Slices】(Bronze Grade, Common): Made from high-quality Leng beef, roasted to perfection. Although the processing technique is average, it still retains about 30% of its nutritional value. (After eating, it can slightly strengthen muscles and enhance strength)

No wonder it’s beef; it’s so rich in protein. The young lady blinked her eyes. What was protein again? It seemed to be some kind of nutrient, and she was quite familiar with the term before.

For now, she didn’t think too much about it. She opened her mouth and took a tiny bite, preparing to try it. But quickly, because it was hot, she stuck out her tongue, and after a short while, she slowly savored it.

The mix of pepper salt and crispy, savory meat slices, still carrying the heat of the flames, burst in her mouth, making it very addictive. The young lady soon finished the grilled meat, one small piece at a time.

Watching her, Yu Baichou thought to himself, this lady is indeed from a prestigious family. Such natural elegance isn’t something that can be cultivated in just a day or two, even when eating in the wild, it looks pleasing to the eye.

It seems I’ve encountered a noble person.

He skewered another piece of roasted meat nearby and handed it to her.

“Eat more. The cold in the mountain nights is strong, and this will help keep you warm. Heh heh.” After saying that, he also picked up a piece and started eating.

As they chewed, a warm energy rose in their stomachs. The young lady was slightly surprised.

Surprised, was this the Heavenly and Earthly Qi that Uncle mentioned? She had also felt a similar energy within the jade stones in the stream before, but the energy within the jade stones was clearer and more condensed, like ice.

After finishing her meal, the young lady found a dry spot to lie down on, resting her head on her arm as she slept sideways on the stone.

Yubaiqiu placed some insect-repelling powder around them before he lay down beside the fire. There were many poisonous insects in the mountain area, and although he was a cultivator, accidentally being poisoned could still be troublesome. Moreover, he needed to ensure Miss Luo’s safety.

The bonfire gradually dimmed, turning into dark red embers. The night in the mountains was exceptionally quiet; even the bird calls were few. The stars in the sky twinkled faintly, their sparse light falling through the forest and illuminating the white-dressed girl, casting a subtle glow that was quite hidden, almost undetectable by the unobservant.

The white-dressed girl, lying on the green stone, did not feel cold at all. Instead, she fell into a peaceful sleep and then entered a deep dream.

In her dream, she seemed to see familiar people and events again. In that bustling world, people lived in neatly arranged houses with bright lights, even at night. A teacher inside one of the rooms was explaining something to the students. At that time, she listened attentively, comparing her answers with those on her test paper.

However, the names remained blurry, as if they could never be clearly seen, while the questions gradually became clearer.

“This is the universal gravitation formula used to calculate planetary motion. Isn’t it amazing?” The teacher smiled and said to the students below.

“Now, given these conditions, can anyone deduce the mass of the Earth?”

“Yes.” A student raised his hand in front.

As she watched these scenes, the knowledge she learned in her youth gradually resurfaced from the depths of her memory, slowly surfacing and being reviewed by the girl once more. As this knowledge returned, she gradually realized the significant difference between the world she was in and the world in her dreams.

At least in her dreams, there was a moon in the sky, but now, there were only stars. It seemed she was no longer in her former world.

Perhaps this is reincarnation, such a magical thing.

As the night grew deeper, she fell into a deep sleep, her breathing becoming steady.
