The little wolf ca swaggering back with a wild chicken in its mouth, and Gray Wolf's teeth were extrely sharp. With one bite, the wild chicken t its end.
Luo Chao took the dead wild chicken from the little wolf's mouth, happily patting its head. Even though the little wolf had received no training, its natural instinct made it a super hunter.
"Xiaoxuan, look at you. Didn't I say we were here to burn incense and pray to Buddha? Yet you went hunting," Qin Yuzhen remarked, snapping back to her senses.
Luo Chao was stunned for a mont and then laughed, "Mom, which hand of mine did you see hunting? It was Little Wolf who did it!"
Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but admire herself for giving birth to such a sharp-tongued son. Just last night, he scolded i Cuihua so vehently; his words could turn stones into gold.
Luo Chao didn't say anything further. Instead, he stood up abruptly, gathered so twigs from around, and started a fire. Then he took out a small knife and began to cut up the wild chicken. His knife moved swiftly, with only flashes of the blade visible.
Qin Yuzhen and Ning Wanxi were both stunned. How did Luo Chao manage it, wielding a small knife so adeptly?
After a while, Luo Chao discarded the chicken's skeleton and innards, leaving a heap of feathers on the ground. The chicken at was expertly carved out without any damage.
Qin Yuzhen and Ning Wanxi were once again left gaping. Qin Yuzhen certainly didn't expect that her precious son had such skills; he could practically perform at a circus.
Luo Chao skillfully took out salt, honey, MSG, and other seasonings from his backpack, skewered the chicken at with a branch, and seasoned it while roasting over the fire.
The rich aroma of the roasting at wafted into Ning Wanxi and Qin Yuzhen's noses, making them salivate. Luo Chao lifted the chicken proudly and said, "Honey-roasted chicken, done!"
"Wanxi, Mom, want so?" Luo Chao offered, holding the chicken in front of them.
Qin Yuzhen shook her head, "I ate vegetarian all day to co pray; I can't indulge now."
Luo Chao chuckled, "Mom, it's modern tis; there's no need for such taboos. Besides, as they say, 'at passes through the stomach, but Buddha stays in the heart.' What's important is sincerity, right?"
Convinced, Qin Yuzhen couldn't resist the temptation of the aromatic honey-roasted chicken. She tore off two drumsticks and handed one to Ning Wanxi, "Wanxi, have so, it looks delicious."
"Thank you, Auntie," even a heavenly fairy couldn't resist the special honey-roasted chicken. So, Ning Wanxi graciously accepted the drumstick.
"Awoo," the little wolf, enticed by the aroma, howled with hunger. Luo Chao chuckled and tossed it a large piece of chicken.
Luckily, it was a fully grown wild chicken; otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough. Luo Chao, the three, and the little wolf began to savor the delicacy.
After eating, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but lick her fingers, praising, "Xiaoxuan, where did you learn to cook like this? It's really delicious."
Ning Wanxi took her ti eating, but she also found it very tasty. Even the chefs at the Dayhao Hotel might not match this, but Ning Wanxi wouldn't voice her admiration, enjoying the taste in her mind.
"Learned it in the military," Luo Chao said with satisfaction after finishing the last bite. He couldn't help but admire his roasted chicken skills.
Upon hearing 'military', Qin Yuzhen recalled sothing and, after a mont, asked, "With your dad gone, tell , why were you expelled from the military?"
Luo Chao felt a headache as she brought up the subject again. He remained silent because he really didn't want to talk about it. Qin Yuzhen, seeing his troubled expression, said seriously, "Xiaoxuan, I'm your mom. I carried you for ten months; who could be closer than ? Is there anything you can't tell ?"
Her words struck a chord in Luo Chao's heart, bringing on a sense of warmth. He lowered his head and sighed, "It was because of a person."
"A person?" Qin Yuzhen asked curiously, "What happened? Tell clearly."
At this mont, Ning Wanxi, driven by curiosity, couldn't help but focus, listening intently.
Recalling the past, Luo Chao's lips curled into a bitter smile, "That year, I received orders from my superiors to protect an important person. But concerning this person, I made a mistake. Though the mistake is as significant as it is minor, it led to being expelled."
"What mistake?" Qin Yuzhen pressed further.
Luo Chao glanced at her, "Mom, do you really want to know?"
Qin Yuzhen nodded, "I'm your mom, of course, I want to know everything about you. What can you not tell ?"
Luo Chao's lips quivered for a long while, finding it difficult to speak. After so ti, he muttered, "I saw her body."
"Ah!" Qin Yuzhen exclaid, genuinely shocked. Even Ning Wanxi couldn't help but raise her head, wide-eyed at Luo Chao.
Qin Yuzhen was dumbfounded, "You an the person you were protecting was a woman?"
"Yes!" Luo Chao saw Ning Wanxi's beautiful eyes looking at him with disdain and explained, "She bathed without turning on the lights, and I needed to use the bathroom. What else could I do?"
Truly, he was out of options. Qin Yuzhen sighed, "I suppose that woman must be very influential if she could get you expelled so directly."
Influential is an understatent! Luo Chao recalled her with a gnashing of teeth, being booted out the next day!
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Discussing it only aggravates ," Luo Chao huffed.
At that mont, Ning Wanxi coolly remarked, "You took advantage and now act aggrieved. For that woman to value her modesty so much, she must be virtuous, and having you see her entirely, yet you still speak so disparagingly."
Luo Chao and Qin Yuzhen were montarily stunned. Qin Yuzhen thought Ning Wanxi was jealous and quickly said, "Wanxi, it's all in the past; no need to dwell on it. We won't bring it up again."
"It's not like he took advantage of you, so why are you so worked up?" Luo Chao mumbled with so annoyance, feeling disappointed that his wife didn't speak up for him but sided with an outsider instead.
