"Aunt Lan, Xiaojiu has come back, and she looks pale. Did someone bully her outside?"
Song Baobao whispered to Mo Lan, tattling quietly.
Mo Lan paused briefly, "It's okay, I'll go check on her in a bit."
She didn't abandon her kitchen duties, but instead sped up her work, preparing four dishes and a soup, a mix of meat and vegetables.
She carried the food out to the table in the main room.
Song Baobao looked at the dishes on the table, especially the braised pig's trotters, drooling with envy.
Cultivators hardly have enough time to cultivate, let alone spend time cooking. Song Baobao had servants to cook for her when she was at home, and these past days since she ran away from home, this was the first time she had seen Spirit Food.
Before she lost her Storage Ring, she had Spirit Fruits and jerky. Since entering Xi'an City, she has been relying on Fasting Pills, too embarrassed to ask for Spirit Food.
"Jiujiu?"
Mo Lan called for her daughter.
