Chapter 178 [Empire] Day 1
When I opened my eyes again, light from outside was seeping in through the rattan and straw curtains that served as doors and windows.
That touch of white is soft, cool and refreshing, as full as the full moon.
I could already smell the faint aroma of wood and the crackling of something burning. It was constant, yet soothing.
Bai Zhi, who was sleeping on the wooden recliner, also opened her eyes, her eyes were watery and misty.
The enthusiastic, dark-skinned young man in linen clothes and coarse cloth had already cooked most of the breakfast, except for the rice cakes stuffed like sausages in long bamboo poles that had not yet been roasted.
I sat on a linen bamboo recliner, feeling the breeze that had a different scent from the one I had before going to bed, which helped to dispel the heat of the night.
happy!
Every bite of food exudes a unique fragrance in the mouth. The whole family seems to be sitting on the ground with the plates placed on the ground, which is truly "down-to-earth".
The term "family" is a bit strange, but it seems to fit perfectly in this moment. That's right, it's family. Parents and children, sisters and brothers. Nothing wrong with that.
After the main course, there were fruits of all sizes. Their unadorned, rough appearance was a stark contrast to the delicate presentation of the Capital Planet. Here, the fruits were completely natural, whole from the inside out. The peels and shells were oddly shaped, some even requiring chopped with a machete... The dark-skinned boy's hands were deft. The hard fruits, chopped open, oozed a sticky, milky white juice. A sweet aroma, so strong it could penetrate my nostrils from a distance, permeated the morning.
Don't want to waste every drop of juice.
Today is the first day, and there isn't much to learn. It's mainly about looking and visiting.
Most exotic beasts, after being successfully tamed, often maintain a well-behaved, docile, and obedient demeanor. After all, exotic beasts possess a certain level of intelligence that is unique to them.
A large, off-white, furry ball lay quietly on the ground, seemingly uninterested in anything. It didn't even bother to look at the delicious food that other exotic beasts considered delicious. Occasionally, because of its insignificance, it would be kicked and kicked by others, but it wouldn't squeak or dodge. Its round body was like a ball, and it would sleep wherever it rolled to.
But a long, thin carrot can bring it back to full health.
After training, such animals can be rented out directly. Because of their docile nature, single-minded desires, and lack of combat ability, they don't even care much about protecting themselves, so they generally don't need a trainer to follow them around.
I used a thin carrot in exchange for the right to ride and hold the big ball. The big ball bounced around, and riding on it felt like I was in free fall all the time.
Children whizzed by, mocking me for riding just this thing. Beneath them were giants, some mighty, some dazzling. They were so innocent, and I thought, this is one of the things I'll be training for in the future.
I passed by the long-necked scaly beast that had been pulling the cart that day. It gracefully swung its neck as it strolled leisurely through the garden. Like a proud swan spreading its feathers. It really was, all it needed was feathers…
"Don't look at its appearance... It was badly injured when we caught it." The dark-skinned boy held a bundle of shiny blue grass and fed the swan.
The guy picked up a cigarette slowly and elegantly, but when the person turned his back and glanced sideways, he swallowed a small amount of blue grass in one gulp... The skull could actually open and close like a mouth in order to eat.
