Brother Du and four others hastily unloaded their belongings, then sat down around the campfire with their backpacks in tow.
Members of the Blood-colored Mercenary Group took out some food and drinks from their backpacks and laid them on the ground. Brother Du picked up two pieces of leopard meat and a jug of wine, passing them over.
"Little brother, this is the food we've prepared, have a taste!" Brother Du appeared very generous.
Lin Xuan smiled as he accepted it, and inwardly asked Lord of Wine if there was any poison.
Lord of Wine muttered, "Little Xuanzi is quite cautious. Relax, there's no poison, but the wine is far inferior to mine!"
Hearing there was no poison, Lin Xuan felt assured. One couldn't be too careful when traveling. He passed a piece of leopard meat to Tang Yu and gently nodded.
Tang Yu then accepted it. She opened her small, cherry-like mouth and gently took a bite, eating quietly, very unlike the lively young lady she was during normal days.
