564 Chapter 564 "Cuddling Time"

"W-whaaaat? me? You are giving this to me?" Shu Chen was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground, making his face look dumb even though the man was actually quite handsome.

"Yeah, since Long Ao Zhen is from the same academy as me, he won't need the cauldron. You take it." Li Shi Ying kept walking after she tossed the kettle-sized cauldron to Shu Chen.

Now, they only needed 2 more items, they better rest for the day. It's already dark outside and they hadn't eaten yet. She was hungry!

"T-thank you." Shu Chen stuttered as he carefully wrapped the cauldron with cloths and brought it over his shoulder. He didn't have a spatial ring like Long Ao Zhen and Li Shi Ying, so he had to carry it by himself.

"Let's go to the lake near here." Long Ao Zhen hurriedly guided his group to find a good camping site. Near the lake was good, since they could take a bath and being near a water source was always good.

"Eh? We won't go to a nearby villager's house and pay so we can sleep there for a night?" Shu Chen, as a pampered young master of an alchemist family, of course never camped outside.

Even though Long Ao Zhen was also pampered, he had ventured to many places alone to train, so he was used to camping outside.

"Are you stupid? No villagers would lend their rooms even though you pay them. The one from the tournament must have told them not to help us. Anyway, we don't have the money used in this island, right?"

Long Ao Zhen clicked his tongue as he ran carrying Li Shi Ying in his arms, heading to the lake they visited before. In his eyes, that place was perfect to be a camping ground.

The sky was also clear, so it won't rain at night. They won't need shelter then.

"Ah, y-yeah I forgot." Shu Chen gulped his saliva nervously, lamenting how idiotic he was to think of an easy way like that. This is a tournament, where they rest was also a part of the tournament!

At this time, aside from Long Ao Zhen and his group, other participants had also begun to try to find shelter to sleep tonight. Some idiots tried to bribe the villagers, but of course the villagers didn't give them rooms to stay in.

Other smarter groups had gone to a deserted place to camp, or go to a place near the river. Camping near a river made it easier for them to search for food as well as finding a water source.

But of course, the participants of the tournament couldn't let their guards down at all, because at this moment, other participants could steal the treasure they had gotten.

Night was the best time for traitors to backstab their temporary teammates! Not to mention, beasts also came out at night, so they had to be on guard against beast attacks too.

Near the lake.

"Do we need a tent?" Li Shi Ying had arrived at the place near the lake they visited this morning. Now all they had to do was to make a roof.

"I'll go get wood to make a campfire as well as the grass." Shu Chen thought that Long Ao Zhen must be wanting a romantic time alone with Li Shi Ying, so him as the third wheel had to go away for a while.

Let's find dry wood and grass while those two love birds enjoy their time alone!

"Fuhhh." Long Ao Zhen sighed in relief right after Shu Chen was gone. He was grateful that Shu Chen was at least, sensible. Now he could finally be alone with his bunny!

"Ying'er, come here." Long Ao Zhen sat down under a big shady tree as he patted the ground next to him. Of course he had taken out a blanket before, so Li Shi Ying wouldn't sit down on the dirty ground.

"Huh?" Li Shi Ying approached Long Ao Zhen and sat down right next to him as she wondered in her heart what the hell Long Ao Zhen was doing. She thought they would make a simple roof or something…

"Hehe." Long Ao Zhen pulled Li Shi Ying closer into his arms, and very casually hugged the girl all of sudden making Li Shi Ying blush in embarrassment.

"H-hey, we're outside!" Li Shi Ying's cheeks blushed when Long Zhen hugged her like he was hugging a bolster. She didn't hate this, but they were outside in the wilderness!

What if other participants somehow spotted them? Won't they be labeled as shameless??

"It's ok, I can sense if anyone comes closer to our place." Long Ao Zhen rubbed his cheek on Li Shi Ying's head, treating her exactly like a cute little bunny to be cuddled.

"Fine…" Li Shi Ying slowly moved to sit in front of Long Ao Zhen so the man could hug her easier from behind. She too felt good that Long Ao Zhen hugged her.

It's warm!

"You're warm..." Li Shi Ying laid her head on Long Ao Zhen's chest, feeling how blessed she was now. So, this is how it feels to have a boyfriend!
