After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Back at the camp, those who stayed behind went out to process the game. Some of the edible parts were made into jerky or stew, while the fur and teeth were sold for money.

As everyone discussed the nearly 30% increase in today's harvest compared to usual around the campfire, Leng Ran's behavior undoubtedly became a major topic of conversation.

As people listened to Uncle Tiger and Uncle Knife praising Leng Ran's skills with great enthusiasm, their hearts warmed even more for this poor child.

It must have taken so much hardship to develop such skills.

Uncle Yuan patted Jun Han on the back and said jokingly, "Little Han, your title of 'Beast Lumberjack' needs to be changed."

Jun Han smiled nonchalantly, while his hands were busy adding another bowl of meat soup for Leng Ran.

Leng Ran's usual appetite was enormous. After learning that most of the exotic beasts he hunted were edible, he no longer had to worry about eating the camp out of house and home. So he reverted to his old ways and began to eat to his heart's content.

After drinking three large bowls of meat soup and eating more than ten skewers of grilled meat, Leng Ran finally put down her chopsticks and very conscientiously went to wash the dishes.

Back in the room, Junhan didn't see Leng Ran's sack and asked in confusion, "Ali, where's your luggage?"

"Everything's packed up," Leng Ran replied quickly.

"When?" Jun Han asked in surprise. They only had a quarter of an hour this morning, and they had been outside the whole time.

"This morning."

"So fast?" Jun Han opened the storage cabinet he had prepared for Leng Ran in disbelief. He was stunned to see two sets of clothes neatly folded on the top shelf, along with some instant food. The bottom shelf was filled with neatly arranged pots, pans, and several different types of kitchen knives.

"Ah Li, you escaped with a portable kitchen?" Jun Han said speechlessly.

"Yes, daily necessities." Leng Ran, who was standing to the side, had already quickly taken off her coat, leaving only her undershirt. She pulled over her own blanket, wrapped herself up tightly like a cocoon, and lay down on the inside.

"Go to sleep early, Brother Han," Leng Ran said, sounding somewhat sleepy.

It's not that Leng Ran wanted to sleep like this, but the stone bed was just too hard. Leng Ran hadn't experienced such hardship for many years, and she simply couldn't accept it. Her back and waist ached all day.

The only thing I could do was wrap the blanket around myself several times to make it thicker before sleeping.

Soon, Leng Ran's even breathing could be heard. Jun Han turned off the light and prepared to rest.

Goodnight, Ali.

-------------------------------------

A year passed in this way. Every morning, Leng Ran would follow the hunters to the forest to hunt and learn some techniques for dealing with strange beasts.

At noon, Leng Ran, whose culinary skills were improving, took the initiative to cook outdoors, so that all the uncles in the group could have a hot meal.

In the evening, they returned to the camp and ate heartily. After a long period of observation, everyone had come to realize one fact—Leng Ran could eat a lot, and yet she didn't gain weight.

It's worth mentioning that after Junhan discovered that Lengran disliked the hard stone bed, he specially bought a soft mattress in Zone C, and Lengran never wrapped herself up like a pupa again after that.

The uncles in the troupe also commissioned someone to forge a sharp alloy dagger for Leng Ran, as his signature weapon. The aunts, on the other hand, measured Leng Ran's size and sewed clothes for him to move in comfortably.

Leng Ran gradually integrated into this family and became a true member of the War Wolf Beast Hunting Team. Team leader Xue Lang personally presented Leng Ran with a metal War Wolf badge, signifying that Leng Ran had officially become a professional beast hunter.

The one-year agreement with the silver-masked man was fast approaching, and Leng Ran was curious about how the man would contact her. At that moment, Leng Ran lay on the soft grass, idly gazing at the stars, pondering her next move.

"Ah Li, it's time to sleep." Jun Han's voice came from not far away.

"I won't sleep, I'll stay a little longer." Leng Ran continued to stare blankly at the sky.

Footsteps approached, and Leng Ran, caught off guard, felt a sudden dizziness before Jun Han easily picked her up and carried her on his shoulder.

To be honest, unlike Leng Ran who only grew taller but not stronger, Jun Han's physique was getting more and more robust. At such a young age, he had already shown the potential to be a handsome man. Leng Ran could already foresee how Jun Han would charm countless girls when he grew up.

Correspondingly, as the brotherly relationship between the two became closer, Leng Ran often became Jun Han's "dumbbell" because he was out having fun and not coming home, and was carried back by him.

"Ah Li, I feel like you've gotten lighter again," Jun Han said, carrying the Leng Ran brand dumbbells.

"Brother Han, this means you've gotten stronger," Leng Ran said vaguely.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Jun Han, having been fooled, didn't pursue the matter any further.

"The team leader asked me to tell you that he will take you to Zone C for procurement tomorrow," Jun Han said.

"Really?" Leng Ran, who had been hanging her head, suddenly perked up, her eyes sparkling, and turned to look at Jun Han's incredibly handsome face.

Each pass allows two people to go to Area C, and the people going to Area C take turns. Because of her young age, Leng Ran has only been there once so far, and that was when Uncle Yuan took her to have her beloved dagger made.

"Okay. So you should go to bed early tonight." Jun Han looked at Leng Ran's bright eyes and smiled indulgently.

After returning to her room, Leng Ran quickly finished washing up and fell asleep in less than five minutes.
