A woman, carrying a giant wild boar disproportionate to her size, returned; she threw it to the ground with a thud, then skillfully bled it. Summoning her Fire Lotus True Qi, she kindled a great fire, then chopped down an ancient tree to make a roasting rack, and placed the boar on it to cook.
She also took out cumin, salt, and other seasonings from her space ring; soon, an enticing aroma filled the air.
"As cultivators, we should show compassion for all living beings, yet why can't I hold back my tears from trickling down from the corners of my mouth? Oh well, it's its great fortune to be able to fill my stomach, Lu Qinglian's," she mused.
While waiting, she couldn't help but wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Her black hair, which reached her waist, seemed to have the glint of firelight within.
