Chapter 538: Chapter 538: An Unexpected Meeting

In the next moment, he wrapped himself tightly around her right leg, his leaves clinging to her as if afraid she would leave him behind.

The little flower plant blinked, then quickly followed. She copied his movement exactly, wrapping herself around Su Qinglan’s left leg, her petals trembling slightly as she settled in place.

Su Qinglan paused for a moment, then looked down.

Seeing the two small plants clinging to her like this, she could not help but smile.

"You two..." she said softly, but she did not stop them.

Instead, she continued walking forward, letting them hang onto her legs as they pleased.

Behind her, Hu Yan stood at the doorway, watching this scene.

At first, he had been a little worried about letting her go alone. Even if she was strong, the current situation was still uncertain.

But now...

Seeing Stove following her, he finally relaxed.

He let out a small sigh of relief.

"At least that little fellow is with her..." he muttered.

Even though Stove looked small and unreliable most of the time, Hu Yan knew he was not simple. With him around, there was one more layer of safety.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan turned back into the house and continued cooking, his movements steady again.

Meanwhile, Su Qinglan walked calmly toward the river, with one plant wrapped around each leg, swaying slightly with every step.

Stove seemed very satisfied with his position. "Master, I will protect you!" he said proudly, his leaves puffing up.

The little flower plant did not speak, but she tightened her hold slightly, as if agreeing.

Su Qinglan chuckled softly.

"Alright," she said, her tone light. "Then I’ll leave it to you two."

The three of them continued forward like that, their small and slightly funny scene blending into the quiet surroundings, bringing a rare moment of ease amidst everything that had been happening.

Su Qinglan soon reached the river.

The clear water flowed gently, reflecting the light of the sky. Beneath the surface, many fish could be seen swimming slowly. They were big and fat, their scales shining faintly.

In the beast world, very few people ate these fish.

There were too many bones. The thorns could easily get stuck in the throat. Females avoided them, cubs were not allowed to eat them, and even males disliked this kind of prey. There was barely any meat compared to land animals.

But to Su Qinglan, this was a treasure.

Her eyes lit up immediately.

"So many..." she murmured softly, already thinking of all the ways to cook them.

Without wasting time, she bent down and picked up a branch, preparing to make a simple fishing rod.

But before she could finish...

"Master, leave it to me!" Stove said proudly.

In the next moment, his body stretched and transformed into a long green vine.

Su Qinglan paused, then quickly grabbed one end of the vine, holding it like a rope so it would not look strange to others.

The vine slipped into the water silently.

Splash!

A big, fat fish was hooked instantly and thrown onto the ground.

Stove’s leaves trembled with excitement.
