Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1179:

When Tang Tianyi withdrew the barrier, the two returned calmly with their belongings.

As they returned to the pit, they saw a man in red had already started a fire and was roasting a giant animal, the original form of which was unrecognizable.

”What is this?” Luo Qianqian looked baffled at the thing, unsure what to do. Was it already cooked? How long had they been gone?

Not only had he caught the ingredients, but also cooked them?

”I just caught a Firewalking Deer and roasted it,” the man in red said calmly, ”The fire is ready; you can use it.”

”Thank you then,” Tang Tianyi nodded lightly, without refusal.

Tang Tianyi casually cut open the fish they brought and prepared it, roasting it casually, only to see the fish...burnt in an instant?

”Hey?” Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened as she frowned. The fish burned?

It only took a moment.

”Sorry, forgot...” The man in red showed no regret, and shrugged at them, ”This is Karmic Fire, probably a bit intense, right?”

”Karmic Fire?” Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment.

The man in red looked at Luo Qianqian quietly, as if there was some special intention.

Tang Tianyi was silent for a while, glanced at Luo Qianqian, sighed, and took out a lighter, lighting another pile of fire.

Luo Qianqian, curious, looked at the already cooked meat, ”So why isn’t your meat burnt?”

”Animal with Fire Attribute naturally won’t be cooked by Karmic Fire so quickly,” said the man in red.

Luo Qianqian nodded thoughtfully, then leaned forward to Tang Tianyi, ”Want me to help? Shall we fry the fish?”

Tang Tianyi shook his head, ”It’s fine, you go do something else.”

”What should I do?” Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi, puzzled.

Tang Tianyi said softly, ”Prepare water. You don’t want to die of salt, right?” He said, sprinkling more salt...

Shouldn’t he hold back on the salt if he’s afraid of it being too salty?

Luo Qianqian thought so, but quietly went aside, started fiddling with a water bottle, pouring the water from the plastic bottle into a pottery jar, silently held the jar originally filled with wine, appearing beside Tang Tianyi.

Tang Tianyi looked surprised, ”What are you doing?”

Smelling the wine aroma in the air, the man in red’s eyes widened, ”Do you know how wasteful that is?”

”Huh?” Luo Qianqian stared at him.

Why was he meddling with her business?

”I have water if you need it, why waste the wine?” The man in red directly took out a Bamboo Tube filled with clear water, seemingly spring water. His eyes slightly red, revealing he actually felt quite sad.

”Oh, go ahead and lick it.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, pointing at where she poured the wine earlier.

The man in red stared at her, was she out of her mind?

Asking him to lick? Shouldn’t she bring out more? After seeing her attitude, knowing the wine wasn’t rare, could she not spare more?

If this continued... he really might lose control!!!

Tang Tianyi remained indifferent, roasting the fish, ”Why do you have wine?”

Luo Qianqian suddenly felt wronged, ”Isn’t it because I forgot to give it to Grandpa earlier? The warehouse is full, and I just forgot.”

”...” Tang Tianyi showed some helplessness in his eyes; what could he say? What else could he say?

”Give me another jar? I’ll exchange it for roasted deer meat.” The man in red had a calm expression.

Luo Qianqian snorted, ”You’re joking, right? Yours is everywhere; mine isn’t found here!”

That was indeed true.

According to Mu Ling’s words, wine is at the offering level, and only ancient sect countries could own it. People here didn’t master the brewing process.

Those who tasted it, either rich or noble, with deep backgrounds.

Though what they tasted was probably diluted, with weak flavor.

Even Haan Yun, overhearing the conversation, widened his eyes, hurriedly hid behind a tree, breathing hard, ”So this is the wine’s aroma? I’ve never smelled it before.”

”...” Why did they act so worldly clueless?

”In exchange, I’ll handle the food during the coming journey.” The man in red paused, then deeply glanced at Luo Qianqian, ”In future, as long as there’s wine, I obey you.”

Pfft, what’s the use of obeying me? Just won’t work without wine?

Luo Qianqian was about to exclaim, but Tang Tianyi grabbed her arm, stood up, and looked at the man in red, ”Do you swear?”

”Under the Heavenly Oath, I, Yan, vow that in times with wine, I shall honor... the young lady before me as the leader.”

”Young lady before you, I’m Luo... Luo Qianqian!” Luo Qianqian almost said Luo Shiqi but feared the oath would change if names differed.

”With wine, Yan honors Luo Qianqian as the highest,” the man in red finished, and beneath the blue sky and white clouds, a golden light flashed, settling on their foreheads.

Tang Tianyi watched Luo Qianqian for a moment, seeing she was fine, then nodded, ”Let him taste it, this jar of water.”

??? Yan’s eyes widened, incredulous at Tang Tianyi, only water at the end?

Seems violence might be necessary!

Tang Tianyi naturally said, ”Did you ever have contact with this kind of concentration? Not afraid of passing out here, no one would care!”

Passing out? What kind of falling is that? Why does it sound so enchanting?

”Okay, give me water, I’ll take this,” Yan hurriedly and carefully took the jar from Luo Qianqian’s arms into his own.

And Haan Yun, unwilling to fall behind, dashed out, eagerly saying, ”Don’t forget me, I want to taste it too!!!”

”Minors are banned from drinking.” Luo Qianqian paused briefly, then stated.

Both stunned for a while, afterward Yan reacted first, ”You mean, those not undergone adult rites? I did long ago!”

Haan Yun felt wronged; he hadn’t, why hadn’t he?

Due to lack of power, he was brought here, aiming to erase the Royal Family’s stain!

He knew clearly, but also realized it’s crucial?

Counting on fingers, he shamefully bowed his head, ”Then after my adult rite, you also have to let me taste it...”

”By the way, when do you have your adult rites?” Luo Qianqian paused, then asked.

”At twenty.” Yan glanced at Haan Yun, ”So, as of now, seems only I can enjoy.”
