Neither Roy nor Sasha knew exactly where the road ahead led to. They just kept walking forward, and after leaving the valley, they passed through a dense forest. There was still no human habitation ahead, only mountains, trees, mountains, trees
Roy's heart slowly became restless, as if the mountains and forests before him could never be finished.
"Roy!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry!" Sasha blinked her pitiful big eyes at Roy.
Roy felt a wave of weakness and said, "Didn't we already eat the fruit just now?"
"You can't eat enough just by eating fruits!" Sasha's face was innocent.
Roy sighed in his heart, was this God punishing him for deceiving an ignorant girl? Since she started on the road, this little girl has been either arguing about hunger or wanting to rest. Every time, it was her nominal employer who went out to find something to eat and a place to sleep. However, her guard just smiled sweetly after finishing her meal and went to sleep happily. In the past few days, the speed of her journey has noticeably slowed down. I really don't know how such a girl survived in the wild.
"Miss, in this wilderness, it's already great to have fruits to eat. We're on our way, and when we reach a place with people, naturally you'll have whatever you want to eat."
"But I just saw a wild rabbit in the nearby forest!" Sasha whispered, looking at Roy's gaze filled with anticipation.
Roy's angry nose was crooked, and besides the wild rabbits, there couldn't be anything else in the forest. Did he eat whatever he saw?
"Sasha, let's hurry up and leave. Maybe there will be a village after the mountains ahead, so we don't have to sleep in the wilderness again at night." Roy suppressed his frustration and said calmly. It's better not to offend this little girl who talks about murder as plain as eating.
Sasha remained silent and lowered her head slightly. Her beautiful eyes were shrouded in mist, and her face was full of grievances.
"Okay, okay! You wait, I'll go catch one for you!" Looking at Sasha, who was about to shed tears, Roy quickly surrendered, as if I was abusing you! Roy now feels a bit regretful that he shouldn't have tricked this little girl into protecting himself. Judging from the situation these days, this guard has not been effective at all, and he has become the nanny of this little girl.
"Mmm! You come back early, I'll wait for you." Sasha was full of joy, with a sweet smile on her lips.
Hey! Women really make good use of their capital. Roy cursed at himself for being cheap and walked into the nearby forest. It was indeed a long time since he tasted meat, and Roy comforted himself.
After clearing an open space and picking up a withered branch, Roy put the wild rabbit that had already been washed and peeled by the river on the branch and looked at the already dim sky. Helplessly, Roy forced a flame from his hand and lit the firewood that Sasha had already prepared in front of him.
"Roy?"
"What are you doing?" Roy looked at Sasha with a frightened face.
"Can you grill this?" Sasha asked softly as she watched Roy flip the rabbit in her hand.
"Of course, I used to make my own food a few days ago, and I'm really skilled!" Roy didn't want this little girl to underestimate me anymore.
"Oh!" Sasha replied and sat quietly on the side again.
"Roy! It seems like the rabbit's leg is on fire!" Sasha whispered as a reminder.
Roy was surprised and accidentally set the fire on the greasy rabbit meat. By the time the fire was extinguished, the rabbit's legs were as black as charcoal. Roy felt embarrassed for a moment and quickly pulled off the rabbit leg. After thinking for a moment, he handed it to the drowsy little dragon next to him. Roy remembered the old man saying that as long as the taste wasn't too bad, dragons would eat anything. However, the little dragon let out a dissatisfied cry and buried its head in its tail, ignoring Roy.
Sasha let out a soft sigh and said, "You eat first, I'll be right back!" She turned around and walked towards the nearby forest.
Roy was roasting the rabbit meat in his hand in frustration. After a while, Sasha came back, holding a washed and peeled wild rabbit in her hand. She picked up a dead branch, threaded it through, and slowly roasted it over the fire.

What does this mean? Roy is not willing anymore, despise me?
However, in no time, Roy's heart was filled with infinite resentment: his wild rabbit had been roasted black and unrecognizable, while the rabbit in Sasha's hand was roasted with a golden surface, sizzling outwards with oil, and a strong meat aroma seeped straight into Roy's nostrils. Even the sleeping little dragon beside him had already climbed up, drooling at the corner of her mouth as she looked at the wild rabbit in Sasha's hand.
Watching the little creature with a greedy expression on its face, Sasha gently tore off a piece of rabbit meat and placed it on the dragon's mouth. The little creature immediately pounced with two bright eyes, devouring all the rabbit meat in the blink of an eye. When it arrived, it even spat out its pink tongue to lick Sasha's palm, causing her to giggle and giggle.
Roy chewed on his smoking rabbit meat and kept muttering to himself, "I endure, I endure, I can endure the most!"!
So, a few days later, except for returning to Roy while sleeping, the little dragon had completely become Sasha's pet.
※※※
On that day, the two of them climbed over a mountain and gradually moved westward. Roy, who had walked all night yesterday, was preparing to find a place to stay at night against the wind.
Looking around, Roy suddenly froze for a moment, followed by a face full of ecstasy. At the foot of the mountain, thin wisps of cooking smoke were rising from the lush forest.
"Sasha! Come on!"
Sasha, who was teasing the little dragon from behind, quickly walked up the mountain and said, "Ah! Someone!"
I don't know how long I've been walking in these deep mountains and forests, but today I finally saw a crowd!
Roy held the little dragon in his arms and walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain with Sasha.
This turned out to be a relatively small town. As the sun was about to fall on the horizon, Roy and Sasha finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Although it seemed like a small town halfway up the mountain, when they approached, they found that the small town had a wall as high as three zhang, with three big characters embedded on the wall directly above the city gate: Sans City.
The guards at the city gate saw the two of them coming from the direction of the mountains covered in dust, and Roy was still holding a strange shaped monster in his arms, showing a clear expression. He even warmly greeted the two of them and let them enter the city.
Since they didn't investigate, then stop talking and Roy and Sasha hurriedly entered the city gate.
I originally thought that since there was a walled city like an iron barrier outside, it might be a military town with a small army stationed here. However, to Roy's surprise, the largest road leading north and south from this small town was bustling with various vendors. As soon as he entered the city gate, the deafening shouting almost overturned Roy.
These vendors lay their goods in rows on the ground, selling them to passersby, occasionally comparing and bargaining with customers who came to chat. Roy noticed that there were many guards on the crowded street wearing the same style of armor as the guards at the entrance of the city. These people held weapons and patrolled back and forth in the chaotic flow of people. Passengers also carefully avoided these guards. Although the flow of people was chaotic and noisy, there was no sign of trouble in any place. It seems that this is a small town mainly focused on trade, and the market has been moved to the central street of the city, with dedicated guards guarding it.
Roy and Sasha got involved in the abortion and planned to find a place to rest first. Before entering the city, Roy swore to repay Sasha's double amount of money after returning home, so that Sasha reluctantly agreed to temporarily pay for the expenses after entering the city.
"This young man, please stay!" Roy was looking for a resting inn when a middle-aged man with a merchant like appearance gently patted Roy's shoulder. "I don't know what the Warcraft in your arms is called? How can you bid?"
Roy had long noticed that a large part of the goods sold by the street vendors were small monsters in various cages. These monsters were either very cute or looked extremely ferocious, with various strange and peculiar appearances. This was already the fourth time Roy had been pulled and asked how the young dragon in his arms was sold.
When Roy reluctantly sent the middle-aged man away, Sasha finally found an inn.
As soon as I entered the store, the staff warmly welcomed me and said, "Are you two eating or staying at the restaurant?"
Anyway, when she paid for it herself, Sasha was not polite either. Before Roy could say a word, Sasha quickly ordered her food. The shop assistant greeted her and ran all the way to the back hall.
A penny is a hero, Roy felt depressed in his heart.
The food arrived, and the shop assistant couldn't help but widen their eyes. These two people seemed to have not eaten anything in a month, and in a blink of an eye, they ate all the food on the table.
"Do you want anything else, both of you?" Looking at the two of them, it seemed like they were still unsatisfied. The shop assistant quickly approached with a smile on his face.
"It's not delicious at all, forget it, stay at the restaurant!" Sasha pouted, seemingly unsatisfied with the food.
If it's not delicious, still grab it! Roy was only five percent full, and most of the food on the table went into Sasha's stomach.
The enthusiasm of the staff did not diminish by half due to Sasha's words. "Two of you, a room?" The staff saw that the two were of similar age and had come together in a dusty and dusty manner, indicating that their relationship was not ordinary.
At this point, it's time for the man to show off his gentlemanly demeanor. Roy coughed and said, "No, give us two rooms."
The guy smiled even harder and said, "Alright! Let's get ready now!"
"Wait!" The guy had just turned around, and before he could even lift his heel, Sasha stopped the guy again.
"Who said they want two rooms, one? We'll sleep together!"
The waiter was stunned and turned to look at Roy, only to see that Roy was already looking at this beautiful and outrageous young girl with a dementia face. In addition to the scene of ordering food just now, he immediately knew who had the last word with these two.
"Okay! A guest room! Just a moment, I'll tidy it up for you and take you there right away."
The guy turned into the back hall again, and Roy secretly glanced at Sasha, who was already tired. Is this developing too quickly!
Roy touched his face, it turns out I'm so charming!
