Fu Bao and the others were frantically searching for the three little ones they had lost. Naturally, they searched together—there were wolves in these mountains, after all.
“Do you think they might have been eaten? Boo-hoo-hoo, there are wolves here.”
The young miss of the Chen family clutched the hem of Fu Bao’s clothes and followed closely behind.
“It’s possible.”
Gong Shaoyu wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. Yesterday, a single fat rabbit had lured a wolf over. With three plump little creatures together, wouldn’t they be a walking feast?
“Ah! Boo-hoo-hoo! Then can we still find them?” The young miss of the Chen family felt even more frightened. There were seven of them in all—among a pack of beasts, wouldn’t they also be a walking feast?
“Don’t worry. Even if Gu Yun gets eaten, those three won’t.”
Gu Li rose after crouching in the grass for ages and stretched his back as he spoke.
Gu Yun???
“Ow, my old back!”
There was a loud crack, followed by Master Yu’s cry from nearby.
Oh! He had twisted his back.
“Master, you really are something.”
Gong Shaoyu went over and dragged Master Yu, who was clutching his waist and groaning incessantly, out of the heap of grass.
The group arrived beneath a great tree. This tree was extraordinarily dense and luxuriant.
They had only just dragged Master Yu over when countless blossoms began drifting down from its branches.
Gu Yun’s body stiffened.
There was demonic aura.
Without time to think, he swiftly raised the bow and arrows in his hands.
“Be careful! There’s demonic aura here. You—”
Gu Yun vigilantly scanned their surroundings, then turned his head to speak.
“Oh! They’re so beautiful!”
“Come look, there are two more different ones here.”
“Wow!”

Gu Yun: Hey, are any of you listening to me?!
“Heh. With so many guests here today, it seems I must come out and extend the hospitality of the master of these mountains.”
A voice came from the tree above. A figure descended through the falling blossoms, accompanied by a series of thudding sounds.
Gu Yun: What an arrogant demon. He’s wrapped up so tightly that you can’t even see a single hair.
The masked man made his entrance in what he considered his most handsome pose. With his subordinates providing sound effects, he was utterly intoxicated by the spectacle of his own unparalleled beauty.
Except—
“Wow! I feel like a fairy among the flowers. Hee-hee.”
The young miss of the Chen family held a handful of petals in her hands.
“Flowers in a riot of red flying past the swing.”
Gong Shaoyu produced a folding fan from who knew where and snapped it open with a flourish, clearly delighted.
“Put them all in here. Hee-hee. Flower-petal pastries are absolutely delicious.”
Fu Bao took the young miss of the Chen family’s weapon for self-defense—the great iron pot—and filled it to the brim with flower petals.
The masked man: “…”
He had been standing there for ages. Could this crowd really not see him?
“I say—you can’t see me, can you? Huh?!”
The masked man flew into a rage. Was it really possible not to notice a handsome man standing right in front of them?
“My lord, they seem to be ignoring you.”
The horned man leaned over and offered this observation.
“Do you need to remind me? Get lost—”
With a whoosh, the horned man was sent flying.
“Wow! There are shooting stars too!” Fu Bao exclaimed, her eyes sharp.
“You’re a demon?”
Gu Yun gripped his bow and arrows tightly, his gaze fixed on the masked man before him.
“Oh! There’s a hunter too. What a fine haul this time.”
The masked man snapped his fingers. In an instant, a demon brought over a seat cushion—a wooden stump.
Gu Yun glanced at it, then pulled out the cushion hidden against his chest and plopped himself down on it.
It had been specially made from duck down. It was wonderfully comfortable.
The masked man looked at Gu Yun sitting on the ground, a full head taller than himself, and grew rather irritated.
It was bad enough that the man had better accommodations than he did. How could he possibly be taller too?

Come to think of it, why had Gu Yun stuffed such a thick cushion inside his robes?
The two stared at each other for a moment. After waiting for quite some time, Gu Yun finally spoke.
“Weren’t you going to extend the hospitality of a host? Where’s the wine? Where’s the meat?”
The masked man: “…”
What an audacious face.
“The wine and meat are right in front of you.”
“Where?”
“You are.”
“Hmph. A demon is still a demon. You only ever think about eating people.”
“Heh! Why is it acceptable for humans to eat animals, but not for animals to eat humans?”
“That is the law of Heaven.”
“Heaven? Hahahaha! To hell with the law of Heaven. Why does Heaven permit humans to slaughter animals, yet forbid animals from harming humans or seeking revenge?”
“The law of Heaven dictates it.”
“Dictates it? Who dictated that only humans may hunt and kill animals, while animals are forbidden from retaliating?”
“Heaven dictated it.”
“Why? I refuse to accept that.”
“Refusing won’t change anything. It is Heaven’s decree.”
“…”
Can’t you use a different phrase for once?
