The two conversed, and before they knew it, more than half a day had passed.
"Hmph," Mu Hongyuan said, "I'm tired, I'm hungry, I need to rest. Put me down. There's an orchard nearby; go pick some fruit for me to eat."
As they made their way through mountains and rivers, Wang Mu calculated the distance.
They weren't too far from Anle Village now. At most, it would take half a day, and they should be approaching Gu Yun Mountain's border soon; even Yunlai Creek was in sight.
Wang Mu set Mu Hongyuan down by the stream, aware that she was finding ways to amuse herself.
"Then I'll go pick some..."
"I only eat sweet ones; don't pick the sour," Mu Hongyuan instructed. "They must have a floral fragrance, and the color must be red, which I like. I don't want fruits of other colors. Also, I want to drink some water. Fetch me some from the stream; it should be that sweet-tasting spirit spring water."
"Understood."
Wang Mu nodded and headed into the nearby orchard.
