The resources are abundant, and the mouse is unaware of the complexity of human thoughts. For Shu Shuishui, a good meal and good sleep are enough for a fulfilling rodent life. Of course, now there is an additional aspect that ensures the well-being of the humanoid pet.

After the figures of others disappeared completely into the darkness of the night, Shu Shuishui cautiously poked his little head out from the sleeve of Gu Langu’s robe. Its furry body seemed like liquid, smoothly crawling out through a small gap, and continuing its previous actions.

Climbing along the wrist, it reached the warm sweet potato, extending its sharp little claws. With the tip of its claws, it made three even strokes following the texture of the sweet potato. The small movements were swift and decisive, exuding a sense of a skilled martial artist.

After leaving its claw marks, Shu Shuishui proudly puffed up its chest, indicating that Gu Langu could proceed.

undefinedAs desired by Shu Shuishui, Gu Langu extended his slender fingers and effortlessly peeled off the sweet potato’s skin, much like peeling a banana. As the slightly dark red skin peeled off, the orange-yellow flesh of the sweet potato flickered amidst the dancing flames, tantalizing one’s taste buds.

The aroma of the roasted sweet potato became even more intense, permeating the entire courtyard with an enticing scent that made one’s mouth water. The texture of the sweet potato was soft, occasionally shining with a glossy sheen due to the roasting process, without feeling greasy, as it consisted purely of sweet and sugary goodness.

Swayed by the evening breeze, Gu Langu seemed to truly smell that alluring fragrance. After decades had passed, Gu Langu finally experienced a faint touch of appetite again.

Shu Shuishui licked his claw tip that had just scratched the roasted sweet potato’s skin, then couldn’t wait any longer and leaped off Gu Langu’s hand, rushing towards his own roasted sweet potato.

Afraid that Shu Shuishui might get burned, Gu Langu moved the roasted sweet potato slightly away before Shu Shuishui reached its side.

With his little head held high, Shu Shuishui solemnly expressed gratitude. “Thank you, Gentleman Gu Langu.”

Gu Langu hooked the corner of his lips and pointed at the sweet potato. “Thank you too, Gentleman Shu Shuishui.”

Both of them inexplicably thanked each other, then contentedly began eating the sweet and fragrant roasted sweet potato. Shu Shuishui thought for a moment, then took out two fresh sweet potatoes from the spirit hall and placed them beside the bonfire.

When Yu Jin, Nan Ge, and the rest of the group were properly settled in the resting area and returned to the inn, Gu Langu and Shu Shuishui had already finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes. However, the rich aroma still lingered in the courtyard.

Yu Jin silently took a deep breath, trying not to make too much noise to avoid appearing embarrassed.

Since arriving at Cang Zhan Star, even having enough food to eat had become a problem, let alone considering the taste. Moreover, before entering Cang Zhan Star, the Cang Star System had just experienced a large-scale interstellar war, and resources were similarly scarce. One could imagine the situation on Cang Zhan Star.

Gu Langu sat cross-legged next to the bonfire, obviously waiting for the two of them. On his knee, a little dormouse was sprawled, and it could be seen that Shu Shuishui’s body was very soft, perfectly fitting Gu Langu’s knee bone.

Gu Langu held his index and middle fingers together, gently rubbing Shu Shuishui’s belly, helping it digest the food. Being able to eat until full on Cang Zhan Star was also a form of luxury.
