When the man left, Handsome struggled to break free from Caspian’s hands and growled, “What are you doing? He said I was a pet! Why did you stop me from hitting him?!”
Caspian looked at Handsome and calmly replied, “Just eat…”
“If it weren’t for you stopping me… Burp?” Hearing that, Handsome’s eyes suddenly turned calm, and his dissatisfied complaints were also forgotten. Then, the pig stared at the thigh the man sent to them before, and it asked insincerely, “It’s really for me?”
“Yes.” Caspian nodded.
“I’m so sorry then! Although I wasn’t even full just now…” Handsome pretended to refuse, but when it saw Caspian nodding, the pig cheered. Then, ignoring the fact that the thigh was still on the fire, Handsome suddenly pounced at the meat and gnawed wildly.
While nibbling on it, Handsome muttered. “It’s just ordinary wild animal meat instead of a wild beast. How stingy of them… It doesn’t taste as good, but it’s still edible…”
“We’re all strangers who met by chance. Who will give you wild beast meat? That’s a great material for warriors and cultivators to replenish their blood and Qi.” Caspian shook his head and chuckled, but his eyes seemed to be inadvertently looking toward the direction of the man in the distance.
At that time, the man returned to his companions, and several people immediately surrounded him, looking as if they inquired about the situation. The man immediately waved his arm and said something. While he talked, the other people looked up from time to time, glancing and pointing at Caspian.
Caspian just peeped at them, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. Soon after, he shut his eyes and continued meditating.
As the setting sun completely fell on the horizon, the moonlight cast the earth, and the surroundings gradually became quiet. Caspian did not rest, and he continued meditating and practicing. On the other hand, Handsome was full and laid on the ground with its belly up, sound asleep. A few hours later, in the second half of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the camp of the group of people not far away. There were a lot of scolding and thumping sounds.
Caspian frowned slightly and opened his eyes to look. Soon, he saw the man who came to strike up a conversation before bringing two men and walking over with a look of exasperation. Then, Caspian looked at the sound asleep Handsome beside him, but he did not get up and just stared at the people coming.
The leading man stood in front of Caspian and spoke condescending, no longer appearing as kind as before. “Our camp was robbed just now, and hundreds of spirit stones were lost. The only outsider here is you, so we have to check.”
The other two did not wait for Caspian to agree and immediately searched around, looking up and down at Caspian from time to time with a malicious gaze. After checking, the two shook their heads at the man.
The man’s face turned gloomier as he stared at Caspian. “Tell me! What were you doing just now?!”
Caspian sneered. “Just because I didn’t sell it to you, you planned to rob me?”
Even though he cultivated with his eyes closed, it did not mean that Caspian was not paying attention to the movements around him. Besides, despite his young age, he was far more experienced than these people, so how could Caspian not see that the so-called robbery was just a play by these people. Their purpose was naturally to have a reason to find trouble for him.
