In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Why should I share my food with you?

Shi Geng stared intently at the girl in front of him, his entire body on high alert.

The girl's origins are mysterious, and she naturally exudes a captivating aura. When they first met, even he was momentarily stunned, which shows that her strength is unfathomable and impossible to estimate.

Danger lurks everywhere in the wilderness, and one should not easily trust strangers. He had no intention of getting too entangled with the other party.

Upon hearing this, the girl smiled slightly, her crimson eyes narrowed gently, her gaze sparkling, and her alluring charm radiated from her.

She showed no anger whatsoever; her slender figure leaned slightly forward, and a pitiful expression immediately appeared in her eyes.

"Little brother, I haven't eaten all day. Can you really bear to see me starving?"

Her frail and helpless appearance was extremely pitiful. Her fair and jade-like skin shone with a hazy glow, and the hazy moonlight poured down, enveloping her. Two completely different temperaments, holy elegance and bewitching allure, intertwined and blended, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Ordinary people, upon witnessing such a sight, would surely lose their composure and be captivated. Let alone merely sharing food, they would likely be willing to squander all their savings, just to elicit a smile from the beauty.

However, Shi Geng remained steadfast in his mind. Having previously suffered from a moment of wavering, he remained clear-headed and calm despite being on guard, and was not misled in the slightest by this appearance.

Seeing that he remained indifferent and unmoved, the girl couldn't help but purse her lips.

"It's boring. He's just a little kid, but he's as dull as those old guys."

After a moment's thought, she suggested, "How about this: you treat me to something to eat, and I'll buy you a drink?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl raised her hand and gently waved it, causing shimmering raindrops of light to fall from mid-air. A finely crafted leather pouch quietly appeared in her slender palm. This pouch was made from the tanned fur of rare and ferocious beasts, with a delicate and durable texture.

She raised her hand and untied the gold thread rope binding the bag. A burst of spiritual light emanated from the pouch, and a perfectly sealed wine jar slowly fell to the ground.

The wine jar was surrounded by a faint halo, and the clear and mellow aroma of the wine spread through the air. Just by smelling the aroma, one could tell that this was no ordinary wine.

Shi Geng was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and his gaze fell on the small cloth bag in the girl's palm.

The bag was no bigger than the palm of your hand, and it looked delicate and light, but the other person took out a jar of wine from it with ease.

He immediately wondered if this was the legendary Qiankun Bag that could hold all things.

Such storage treasures are extremely rare and are usually in the hands of powerful individuals.

The girl before them was not old, yet she possessed not only a strange ability to bewitch people's minds, but also such a strange object, which further confirmed that her identity was by no means simple.

Shi Geng suppressed his surprise and looked down at the wine jar on the ground.

The crisp yet mellow aroma of the wine wafted in on the evening breeze, subtly permeating the nostrils. Its lingering and profound fragrance was unlike any ordinary wine in the world.

Even with his calm and collected nature, he couldn't help but swallow hard after smelling the alluring aroma.

Seeing his appearance, the girl immediately giggled, a bewitching charm swirling in her eyes. She picked up the wine jar, walked lightly to Shi Geng's side, and sat down on the spot, her skirt falling gently onto the riverbank pebbles.

Shi Geng saw this but did not say anything to stop them. He silently sat down to the side, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the other party staying.

The evening breeze rustled through the woods, carrying with it the aroma of bear paws and rich wine.

The girl turned her head to look at Shi Geng, her crimson eyes filled with a hint of amusement. The faint, alluring aura around her had not yet dissipated, but it had been toned down considerably, giving her a more relaxed air.

Seeing this, Shi Geng temporarily lowered his guard. With a thought, the moonlight swirled, and the phantom of a bright moon reappeared in his palm. The cold moonlight, carrying a sharp aura, swept across the bear paw, easily splitting the entire piece of meat in two.

He reached out and handed half of it to the girl, his movements calm and composed. Although he had temporarily dispelled his hostility, he was still not completely at ease, a hint of caution remaining in his eyes as he secretly observed her every move.

The girl accepted the bear paw with a slight smile on her lips, her crimson eyes curving slightly as she inhaled the rich aroma of meat that surrounded her.

As her gaze shifted, she noticed the lingering phantom of the bright moon in Shi Geng's palm. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, but she teased, "I didn't expect my little brother to be so amazing at such a young age. He's far superior to those self-proclaimed extraordinary geniuses."

Her voice was gentle, and although her words were full of praise, her eyes did not show much emotion.

While the Azure Scaled Eagle Technique was indeed exquisite, from her perspective, it was just an ordinary technique and not worthy of her attention.

Compared to the Azure Scaled Eagle Technique, her attention was more focused on the little boy beside her. This kid looked to be no more than six or seven years old, but he used the technique with fluid grace and ease, showing no signs of awkwardness.

She secretly focused her attention and clearly noticed many anomalies. On the surface, the little guy's cultivation level was only at the Blood Transformation Realm, but the surging blood and qi within his body were powerful and intense, far exceeding the level that should be expected for that realm.

A faint red glow flickered in the girl's eyes, and her curiosity grew stronger. She felt more and more that this seemingly young child was hiding many unknown secrets.

Seeing this, Shi Geng raised an eyebrow slightly, pondering to himself. Just now, he had used his magic to dismantle the bear's paw in order to secretly test the other party's strength. He had intended to use the magic to reveal some of his power and observe the girl's reaction.

However, the other party remained calm and showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly not taking this precious technique to heart.

The Azure Scaled Eagle Technique is already a rare and superior technique in the Great Wilderness. Ordinary cultivators would be filled with fear and greed upon seeing it, yet this young girl disdains it.

It's easy to conclude from this that the girl's identity is definitely not simple. She is either a highly skilled expert or comes from a top-tier power with a very strong foundation, possessing a vision and knowledge far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Shi Geng composed himself and calmly ate his food, while inwardly raising his suspicions about the danger level of the other party.

"Little brother, why are you only eating meat and not drinking? Have you never tasted alcohol before?"

The girl raised her hand to lightly cover her lips, and a clear laugh rang out. The moment her eyebrows curved, she was graceful and charming, exuding captivating beauty at a glance.

Shi Geng glanced at the girl, grabbed a wine jar from the side, tilted his head back, and drank it down in large gulps.

Given the opponent's strength and cultivation level, if they were determined to target me, I would have no way to resist. So I might as well let go of my worries and be carefree.

The strong liquor went down my throat, and the burning sensation flowed down my throat into my stomach. The pure and rich essence instantly spread out, circulating through my limbs and bones, and a warm feeling spread through my meridians.
