When the two little ones finally arrived, the tempting aroma of meat had already filled the air.

This yellow mud house stands quietly like a pearl hidden deep in the forest. It blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment, as if crafted by nature itself. Climbing plants grow from the low walls to the roof.

It's not far from the sacred tree. Since it's a tree, it's clearly not a suitable place for making fire and cooking. Perhaps this arrangement has another deeper meaning: protecting the actual habitat.

This small yellow mud house has two rooms, one large and one small.

The larger room contained some simple furniture: a small bed covered with bedding, a wooden table, and some simple household items. Li Xingchen remembered that when he was a child and quite sleepy, this small bed was prepared for him by Zero.

As he grew up, it now served as a sofa. The bed was made according to adult size, and at this moment, Xiao Hei was lying on the bed, making waves of satisfied gurgling sounds.

Li Xingchen half-sat, half-leaned on Xiao Hei, one hand resting behind his head while the other hand intermittently stroked Xiao Hei's fur. In his mouth was a piece of dogtail grass that he had gotten from who knows where.

Li Xingchen swung one foot leisurely, looking up at the ceiling, with the dogtail grass in his mouth twitching, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zero was busy in the smaller room. There were simple kitchen facilities there, an earthen stove built of yellow mud bricks and stones, and a long wooden table next to the stove, with pieces of crocodile meat that had been cut but not yet put into the pot.

The big iron pot on the stove was bubbling with aroma, and there were some red, green and yellow ingredients floating in the air. In addition, there were two rows of colorful bottles and jars on the table, and I don’t know what they contained. They should be seasonings for cooking.

Not long after, Zero came out carrying a large pot of steaming, fragrant food. It was a pot of thick soup made from crocodile meat, and the rich aroma filled the air, making people salivate.

It smells so good! !

"Xingchen, come and have dinner." Zero called out to the two little ones.

When Li Xingchen and Xiao Hei heard this, they immediately stood up and couldn't wait to sit down in front of the small square table, waiting to be fed.

Looking at the tempting crocodile soup on the table, Xiao Hei swallowed uncontrollably.

Number Zero first put two pieces of meat in Li Xingchen's bowl, then poured most of it into Xiao Hei's big iron basin, and then put two pieces into his own bowl.

Zero ate very politely, while Li Xingchen and Xiao Hei gobbled their food ravenously, looking as if someone was trying to snatch it from them. It was obvious from the way they ate that the food tasted delicious and they were very satisfied.

After they had almost finished eating, Zero spoke as usual: "Hanlin Academy will start the trial in a few days. Do you want to go?"

Li Xingchen: "Huh?"

"If you want to go, we can go together." Zero said again.

Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and immediately became excited. "Brother, are you going to take me to school? That's great! Then can Xiao Hei go with us?"

He was finally going to be exposed to the outside world and go to school with his brother. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to look forward to it. Now they looked about the same age. If they went to school together, they should be in the same grade. He wondered if they would be in the same class.

Li Xingchen couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of being able to sit in the same classroom with his brother every day to listen to lectures and play.

"Are you happy?" Zero swallowed the last bite of food. "Is there anything you need to bring? I heard we can't leave the academy during the month of the trial, and we have to live on campus even after we enroll. We can't go back for the time being, so Xiao Hei can't go for the time being, so let him stay here to look after the house."

Xiao Hei's head dropped immediately.

Li Xingchen's head also fell down.

Zero glanced at them lightly, and the expression on Zero's young face seemed a bit mature.

He then added, "Once you're successfully enrolled, I'll find a way to get Xiao Hei to come and keep you company. I heard the school offers animal taming courses, so you can choose to study."

The little black man raised his head instantly, his eyes were wet and glistening, and you could faintly see tears in them.

Li Xingchen clapped his hands, "Wow, brother is awesome! You know all this before you even started school?"

Li Xingchen's compliment was genuine, but his expression was a little exaggerated.

From the moment he was born, he had been cared for by this incredibly beautiful little brother. Not only did he patiently feed him milk powder, meticulously train him, but he also taught him unique martial arts...

The little brother in front of them looks like just a young child, but he built a cozy little tree house for the two of them by himself - that is their common home; in addition, even this small kitchen was made by the little brother.

Although the little brother himself does not seem to need to eat, she will still take the trouble to cook delicious food for him and accompany him to enjoy every meal.

In his heart, no matter whether the little brother is a real god or not, he is the most precious and irreplaceable family member in his heart.

"Having a brother at home is like having a treasure!!"

Li Xingchen clasped his hands together in front of his chest, acting like a little fan.

Zero's expressionless face tilted upwards, a barely perceptible smile playing at the corner of his mouth. This hint of a smile didn't escape the sharp gaze of Li Xingchen, who had spent every day with him. Almost instantly, Li Xingchen caught this fleeting change and realized that Zero was just being happy.

He immediately jumped on the bandwagon, "I want to be in the same class with my brother."

Zero said gently, “I’ll be in the same class with you.

Hanlin Academy only has one class for each stage. Talented individuals are not common in Country Z, constituting only about 20% of the population. Excluding those who possess some ability but are not exceptional, the number of people truly qualified to enter a martial arts school is actually quite small.

However, in Country Z, there are over a dozen similar special schools, large and small. Among them, Hanlin College and three other colleges are located in four different locations across Country Z, and they are all top-tier schools.

Don't worry, those who pass the trial will be assigned to different classes according to their age. We are the same age, so we will be assigned to the same class."

Li Xingchen nodded in agreement. As long as he was with his brother, he could go anywhere.

Seeing that Li Xingchen had nothing else to ask, Zero stood up and began to clean up the dishes on the table very naturally.

While Zero went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Li Xingchen picked up the rag hanging on the side and began to wipe the table carefully and sweep the floor meticulously.

After everything was packed, the two men and the leopard ran towards the habitat together.

The running speed was not slow. Zero carefully felt the even breathing of Li Xingchen beside him. Xiao Hei followed closely beside the two of them. His limbs were strong and powerful, and his movements were agile. He also did not feel any effort. A look of satisfaction involuntarily appeared in Zero's eyes.

Although his speed could be increased, for Li Xingchen, who was only six years old, this speed was already quite commendable.

The teaching goals that Zero had set for Li Xingchen were extremely clear: it would be hard to find an opponent at the same stage, and he could move freely across levels.

The little guy has a human body after all, and Zero really doesn't know how to teach him to the right level.

So, if they can go to school together, it will be a good thing.
