Yan Lie sensed Jin Yi's return and turned to look at him, unable to wipe the smile from his face in time.
"You should rest. I'll go hunting next time."
He spoke in a lighthearted tone, as if his injuries were nothing.
Bai Wanwan opened her mouth to speak, but Yan Lie gently squeezed her hand, winked at her, and whispered, "Don't worry. It's just hunting. Nothing will happen."
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't press the issue.
'It was best to keep the secret, if possible. Besides, things weren't so desperate that they had to reveal it just yet.'
"Let's talk about it after you've healed."
Jin Yi grunted in acknowledgment and dropped the beast he had hunted onto the ground with a clean, decisive motion.
He was injured as well but paid it no mind, swiftly skinning and butchering the prey with practiced ease.
He had already drained the animal's blood outside to keep the scent from attracting other predators.
