Legends of Runeterra

"Li En, Li En, look! This is the best place in the whole of Parosa to watch the sunset!"

"Yes, indeed, it is beautiful!"

Li En followed Nicole's finger and looked at the sunset in the distance that was gradually sinking below the horizon.

The afterglow, which had not yet disappeared, gave the entire forest, including the sparkling river surface, a layer of golden red luster.

"Hehe~! Really, really, ever since we found this place, Nicole often comes here to watch the sunset!"

"Well, thank you, Nicole, for bringing me to such a beautiful place."

Li En stood up from the stone and patted his pants which were not covered with dust.

"Let's go, it's almost time, we should go back.

Please take me to visit the rest of the place tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll leave it to Neeko~!"

...

When the two returned to the jungle cats' base again, Nidalee was leading the jungle cats carrying prey back.

"Lee En."

"Nidalee, is this our dinner?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Nidalee took the prey off the back of a jungle cat, and the others also took the initiative to put down the prey on their backs.

"Wow! Nidalee, why did you bring back so many prey today? Didn't everyone just have a meal yesterday?"

Nicole looked at the seven or eight different kinds of prey spread out on the ground, her little face filled with uncontrollable surprise.

After living with Nidalee and the jungle cats, the ignorant Neeko also understood many laws of the jungle, one of which is that hunting is just to fill the stomach, and additional killing is meaningless and will affect the future life of the tribe.

However, today Nidalee acted out of character and hunted far more prey than the two of them usually ate.

In Nicole's imagination, even if Li En was a bigger eater, he couldn't eat much more than the two of them.

As for the jungle cats, they still mostly maintain their instinctive habits and only hunt once every three days or so.

Therefore, in Nicole's opinion, most of these excess prey will be wasted.

In response to Neeko's surprise, Nidalee scratched her beautiful and wild face somewhat unnaturally.

"Well... isn't this Li En's first time visiting us? According to human etiquette... we must prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain him!"

"Oh! So that's how it is, Nidalee is so attentive~!"

Hearing Neeko's praise, Nidalee's mouth corners slightly raised, her dark green eyes looked at Li En, then turned her head to look around, and suddenly as if she remembered something, the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly froze.

"What's wrong Nidalee?"

"Sorry, Li En, I don't have enough tableware here, so these prey can only..."

The tableware used by Nidalee and Neeko all came from friendly sponsorship by explorers, and Nidalee herself had no intention of collecting such things. She just used enough and didn't collect any more.

There were obviously not enough prey tonight.

"Small problem. I happen to have a spare one here."

Li En waved his hand lightly, and piles of tableware and cooking tools of different sizes appeared on the ground.

"That's great, Li En, you and Nicole take a rest first, and I'll take care of dinner."

"With so many prey, let me help. Otherwise, Nidalee, you will have to work alone until late."

"Yes, yes, Neeko is here to help too!"

"this..."

Nidalee held the hunting knife and looked hesitantly at the prey placed on the ground.

"Don't underestimate me. I am a pretty good chef after all."

Li En gently pried open Nidalee's palm, took the hunting knife, squatted in front of the prey, looked at it for a while, and then quickly and accurately dissected it.

"Oh~! Li En is so awesome, as awesome as Nidalee!"

"Nico, help me pass those plates."

"Okay, leave it to Nicole!"

Looking at Li En, who was cutting up the prey as skillfully as herself, and Neeko who was busy helping, Nidalee pulled out another hunting knife and joined in.

...

"Hiccup~~!"

Gently touching her full belly, Nicole leaned back in Li En's arms, her slightly flushed face full of satisfaction.

"Hehe~! Li En, the food you cook is so delicious, much better than mine... mine and Nidalee's~!"

"It's just that there are more spices. As long as you have them, you and Nidalee can also make this taste."

"Huh? Li En, how come there are two of you? And... you're still spinning!"

Nicole opened her big round eyes and looked at Li En in surprise.

"What do you mean there are two of me? You are drunk."

"Drunk? That sweet mead?"

"That's right. Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up you won't see double vision or feel dizzy."

"Oh, I know...I know~!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nicole closed her eyes and a faint snoring sound was heard in Li En's arms.

After gently adjusting his posture so that Neeko could lean more comfortably in his arms, Li En turned his head to look at Nidalee beside him and the jungle cats lying around.

Because Li En's dishes were so rich in aroma and contained many precious, magical spices, the big cats also joined in on the dinner.

As for the mead, it came from the filial Leona, who was concerned about the health of the elderly Bishop Orcas, so she cleared out his stock and gave it all to Li En.

The bishop-level mead naturally also contains precious materials unique to Mount Targon, and it also attracted the attention of Nidalee and the other two, as well as the jungle cats present.

The result was that apart from Li En, the only one who was still relatively sober was Nidalee.

As for the jungle cats, they drank the most because they realized it was good for their health. Now their condition is even worse than that of Neeko.

Nidalee narrowed her hazy eyes slightly, and with her slightly rosy honey-colored skin, her wild face now had a different kind of charm.

"Sorry... Li En, I came here to welcome you tonight..."

"It's okay. I'm just glad you like the dishes I cooked and the mead I brought."

"um, I..."

Nidalee moved on the animal skin mat and moved her wild and charming face in front of Li En.

"I love so much..."

A hot and humid breath with the sweet aroma of mead blew onto Li En's face.

"That's good."

Li En smiled and nodded, then hugged Nicole in his arms.

"Nidalee, please take me to where Neeko usually sleeps.

Also, you should have a good rest. I will take care of your safety tonight."

"Ok...ok, thank you."

Nidalee thanked him and stood up slightly staggeringly. Seeing this, Li En supported her.

"Inhale~Exhale~!"

Leaning in Li En's arms, Nidalee instinctively took a deep breath.

Feeling this reassuring atmosphere, gradually, the rationality in her misty green eyes lost some of its rationality, and was replaced by the instinct from the other side of Vastaya.
