Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

<Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's side>

The south areas of both Fei Yang Kingdoms and Shi Long Kingdoms were filled with untouched forests, mountains' range, followed by countless villages and tribes who lived deep inside.

Previously, General Hong has been trying to enter deeper and recruited the villagers there to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom, effectively expanding their territory bit by bit. But their progress was not as fast as Shi Long Kingdom who had already ventured deep into the south.

And the further down the south they went, they would reach the mountainous areas with snowy peak.

Long Qian Xing couldn't possibly let all of his soldiers follow him when he had some other intentions. So at some points, he asked the soldiers to stop and set up camps there.

"Brother Long?" Nan Hua asked in doubtful tone.

"There's someone whom I want to meet, but the road is not very convenient for them," Long Qian Xing explained. He looked at Nan Hua for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

Come with him?

Nan Hua had some doubts for a moment before some things flashed in her minds. She seemed to know why Long Qian Xing wanted to go on his own to the south. There was indeed someone whom he knew there.

"Ok."

"Good." Long Qian Xing smiled. "Rest well today because tomorrow will be a long journey."

"I will," Nan Hua said.

The two of them asked their men to set up their camps and Nan Hua went to Nan Si, telling him that he didn't have to follow them tomorrow. Nan Si frowned at Nan Hua's words but he obeyed. "Yes, Miss."

For Nan Si, all he had to do was to follow Nan Hua's words. No matter whether he actually agreed to it in his heart or not, he would listen to her words and follow whatever order she gave to him. Because this is his decision for his life.

"Where's Long Ai Ning?" Nan Hua suddenly asked.

Nan Si was doubtful with Nan Hua's sudden question, but he quickly told the direction where Long Ai Ning was located. For some reasons, Long Ai Ning would drag him along from time to time, so Nan Si still knew where Long Ai Ning was located.

Anyway, it was not that far.

Nan Hua nodded at Nan Si and then went to Long Ai Ning, who was currently preparing some dried meat and others for Long Qian Xing tomorrow. She nearly had a heart attack when she saw Nan Hua appearing not far from her.

"Gen… General Jun!" Long Ai Ning quickly greeted but because of her surprise, her curtsied was a bit wrong.

Nan Hua nodded at Long Ai Ning and then asked, "What are you preparing for tomorrow's journey?"

"Huh?" Long Ai Ning was confused but seeing Nan Hua staring in her direction, she quickly answered, "I'm preparing some dry meat and dry bread. Master told me not to make things too complicated as long as the food can last for a long time."

Nan Hua nodded. "Teach me."

Long Ai Ning: ???

Seeing the look on Long Ai Ning's face, Nan Hua was silent. It was not like Nan Hua couldn't cook at all, but her cooking has always been very simple. After all, she was not the type of person who would care about the taste as long as they were edible.

There were many times when Nan Hua had to eat raw food in order to survive and the feelings were definitely not very good. So right now, what Nan Hua wanted was to learn some cooking that would taste more delicious. So far, the only person who could do it in the camp was Long Ai Ning. Her food was very delicious. "Ah, I'll teach you, I'll teach you," Long Ai Ning quickly replied after she had come back to her consciousness. No matter how many doubts she had in her mind, she still showed how she made the food.

To be honest, this was the type of food that was very easy to make, but she added a few more types of spice to make it taste more delicious.

Nan Hua listened to Long Ai Ning's explanation and tried to make a few. The result was not as good as Long Ai Ning, but when she tasted it, it was better than what she usually made.

So for the next incense stick of time, Nan Hua stayed beside Long Ai Ning to continue with this cooking.

Not far from them, Long Qian Xing had just come to talk about Long Ai Ning about making some snacks for Nan Hua since she would come along. But seeing Nan Hua was helping Long Ai Ning, Long Qian Xing stopped in his track.

Long Qian Xing knew very well that Nan Hua is the young miss of Nan Family.

Would Old Master Nan let Nan Hua go to the kitchen and cooked her own meal?

It was unlikely.

Even though Nan Hua went to the battlefield, there were more than enough people who would serve her if it was necessary. After all, there was no need for Nan Hua to be the one to do it all by herself. Cooking was one of them.

Aside from roasting some fish and making soup, Long Qian Xing hadn't seen Nan Hua cooking by herself. Most of the time, Chu Yue would already prepare the meal for Nan Hua and all Nan Hua had to do was to eat.

After all, most of the time, Nan Hua had many other things to do.

Just like him, they were the leader of a lot of soldiers, so they didn't have much free time on their own.

But this time, Nan Hua made the food on her own.

Long Qian Xing had a gentle smile on his face and he slowly turned and leave. His footsteps was light and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
