Ye Xuan didn't bother with Tang Rou's affairs and simply allowed her to follow along.
He arrived at the mountaintop and found a relatively flat with a better vision.
He set up camp and started a campfire.
Then, he had Tongtong catch a few Sharp-horned Rabbits, cleaned them up, and planned to make a barbecue.
His culinary skills had improved rapidly, and the food he made naturally became more and more delicious.
He was very attentive.
Even with the grilled meat, he would tear it into small pieces for Tongtong to eat slowly.
Tongtong initially wanted to quickly revert to its normal size and devour these grilled rabbits in one bite.
But she liked the considerate way her master was feeding her, as she felt cherished.
Cuddling in her master's embrace and enjoying her master's feeding, wasn't that a wonderful thing?
In the little one's heart, there was a sense of competition for favor!
More importantly, the little dragon's appetite changed along with her size.
When she was massive in size, she could eat an astonishing amount of food.
Even several sheep wouldn't be enough!
However, after her size became small and delicate, she became easier to satisfy. Just a few rabbits would be enough to fill her up.
On the side, Tang Rou, observing the way this little creature was eating, became increasingly curious.
Although Tongtong was already eating very little, in her eyes, this petite little thing's appetite was simply astounding.
Of course…
What she cared most about was why Ye Xuan, with such formidable combat strength, was also so skilled in cooking.
Although she had grown up eating various delicacies, she suddenly realized that all the chefs in her family combined couldn't compare to Ye Xuan.
The roasted rabbit meat Ye Xuan cooked so simply and plainly became increasingly fragrant as she ate it.
Unknowingly, her mouth was full of food.
"I hope you can help me keep it a secret that I have Tongtong! Don't let anyone know!"
After they had eaten their fill, when they were preparing to rest, Ye Xuan suddenly said.
He was a Dragon Tamer.
Dragon Tamers could be the strongest profession or the most useless hidden profession.
The difference lay in whether they had contracted a dragon or not.
And most Dragon Tamers were unable to contract a dragon, so most of them were considered useless.
If a Dragon Tamer successfully contracted a dragon, it would definitely be a monumental event, something that had never happened before in Huaxia Country.
A person like that would surely attract the attention of others.
Some would want to recruit him as their subordinate, while others would see him as a threat and want to eliminate him in advance. None of those people would bring any good to Ye Xuan.
Tang Rou naturally understood this reasoning.
After calming down from her shock, she nodded earnestly, "Don't worry! I won't tell anyone about this, not even my father."
Although Ye Xuan was impatient with him, Tang Rou's interest in Ye Xuan grew stronger. Involuntarily, she regarded Ye Xuan as one of her own.
She didn't want Ye Xuan to get into too much trouble because of this matter.
Seeing Tang Rou nodding in agreement to keep it a secret, Ye Xuan slightly breathed a sigh of relief. After nodding back, he returned to his tent.

Inside the tent.
Ye Xuan opened the system warehouse.
After quietly giving the command, a buzzing sound was heard, and in front of him, a virtual system warehouse appeared.
In this place, three treasure chests lay quietly.
Each treasure chest emitted a radiant light that gave the impression of containing priceless treasures.
These three treasure chests were the reward for saving the damsel in distress.
He had come here to open the treasure chests.
First were the two diamond chests.
After hearing the simulated sound of gunfire, the chests opened.

In addition to this sword, there was also the Gale Set, a level-15 purple-grade equipment set.
It consists of three parts!
Shoulders, waist, and leggings!
The basic attributes of the three pieces of equipment were the same, adding 10 strength points and 50 stamina points.
In addition, each piece of equipment had an enchantment effect.
The shoulders increase attack speed by 30%.
The waist belt increases casting speed by 30%.
The leggings increase movement speed by 30%.
Furthermore, when the three pieces were worn together, they provided a set effect of absorbing 20% of damage.
…
These were the effects of the obtained equipment.
In addition, there was the highest-grade Gene Enhancement Potion, which had a straightforward and powerful effect: permanently increased all four attributes by 50 points!
Lastly, it was the Fire Dragon's Wrath.
Although it was a B-level skill, its power was not insignificant. By casting it, the user released fireballs imbued with the power of the dragon, causing explosive damage and a burning effect. Additionally, the dragon's power inflicted a suppressing effect, causing enemies to enter a state of fear temporarily.
…
These rewards…
These rewards were truly amazing.
Ye Xuan had thought that his heart had been hardened through various trials.
But his eyes still lit up when he saw the rewards in the treasure chests.
These things were exactly what he needed right now.
The set of beginner equipment he had originally worn was in such a state of disrepair that it was impossible to wear anymore.
Repairing it would not be worth the effort.
And now, he received a complete set of level 15 purple-grade equipment as a reward!
Each piece of this equipment was a priceless treasure, something that an average adventurer wouldn't be able to afford without completing thousands of quests.
But now, he obtained them simply by opening a treasure chest!
Just this set of equipment would make him rich.
Without any hesitation, he immediately equipped all the items.
He held the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.
Then he drank the Gene Enhancement Potion without delay.
As for the remaining skill…
To be honest, this skill looked incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, it was currently nighttime, and Tang Rou was resting nearby.
Otherwise…
He couldn't help but yearn to go out immediately and test the power of this skill.
