Han Lilis yawned widely, after eating the venison he became full and began to sleepy. Han Lilis positioned herself lying near the fireplace.
Zhou Yuan looked at Han Lilis who was trying to force himself to sleep, although the teenage girl looked wary of him Zhou Yuan could understand with that attitude.
Zhou Yuan could see that Han Lilis was also a swordsman but his abilities were so weak, he had only reached the Bronze Realm realm 7th stage swordsman, his inner power is little and his physical condition is not much different from the physical woman in general.
The night was getting late, seeing Han Lilis already asleep in her sleep Zhou Yuan then began to re-assemble her inner strength which had been delayed until the morning.
Realizing that soon the sun was rising, Zhou Yuan searched for a quarry for his breakfast. Two jungle chickens he got and began to be processed into cooking.
Zhou Yuan pretty much carried the condiments in the space ring so he did not mind if cooking in the forest like this.
The fireplace he had made was extinguished when he hunted, Zhou Yuan made a fire again with a change of type and then began to put the chicken meat that had been wrapped in spices on it, Zhou Yuan made a roasted chicken dish.
The fragrant aroma soon after smelled after the spices and chicken meat permeated, this made Han Lilis wake up because of Zhou Yuan's cooking.
The teenage girl's eyes twitched looking at the surroundings then her gaze fell on Zhou Yuan who was cooking.
"You've woken up?" Zhou Yuan asked the girl.
Han Lilis nodded, her eyes not separated from the young man's cooked roast chicken.
"It'll be ripe soon, wait a minute." Zhou Yuan smiled realizing Han Lilis's gaze.
Han Lilis realized that if she stared at the roasted chicken for too long, the girl covered part of her face in embarrassment.
A few minutes later the cooking was cooked and Zhou Yuan gave one of his parts to Han Lilis.
"Why are you helping me?" While the two were eating food, Han Lilis suddenly asked Zhou Yuan because of the young man's unexpected attitude.
"Because you need it, didn't you scream for help?"
"That's not what I mean, all of your races have always hated us, hunted, killed, and made us slaves, only a few of you would accept the existence of our race in this world."
Zhou Yuan understood Han Lilis's intentions, from his point of view perhaps he considered all humans evil Zhou Yuan was no exception.
"You could say that I am part of that little bit, I never considered your people inferior or any other ugly thing. I'm just giving help to someone who needs it, nothing more."
Han Lilis wanted to say something again but did not hear Zhou Yuan's words. Han Lilis was aware not all among the evil humans, Zhou Yuan was probably the few people who accepted the existence of their race.
Han Lilis smiled, "Thank you, someday I will repay all this kindness."
"No need, I'm not helping out because I hope for anything, I'll be happy if you don't feel indebted to me."
Han Lilis was more and more amazed at Zhou Yuan's attitude, he did not understand but the young man had his own charismatic aura that made him feel amazed.
The two ate the chicken until it ran out before Zhou Yuan asked Han Lilis where to stay. Zhou Yuan intended to deliver it.
"Ah, my residence is near the river not far from this forest..." Han Lilis said that the waterfall here would flow and bring him to his house. "You don't have to drive me, I can go there alone..."
Han Lilis did not distrust Zhou Yuan but he was unwilling to trouble the young man anymore.
"Just relax, before I let my guard down so they can find me, this time I'll be more alert." Han Lilis explained that she knew the ins and outs of all these forests, hiding was also her specialty.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, he could not force the girl's decision. Han Lilis then bid farewell to Zhou Yuan before leaving to leave him alone.
Zhou Yuan looked at Han Lilis's distant body, although the girl said that everything would be fine but her premonition was bad regarding this.
***
Han Lilis exhaled slowly after drifting away from Zhou Yuan, the girl actually had another reason why she did not want Zhou Yuan to take her.
If Zhou Yuan had come with him to his residence perhaps the young man could have been in danger. The other human beast races did not like humans, they would attack Zhou Yuan if they found out the young man was from among humans.
Han Lilis also lied about where he lived near the river, actually living in the middle of the inland forest.
Han Lilis then ran using her inner power towards her settlement. It took him thirty minutes at the speed of the girl to arrive.
Han Lilis residence is a human race animal settlement built in the deepest and most dangerous forest, the, one would have trouble finding it because they made a kind of camouflage of agat leaves invisible to wild animals or among humans.
After opening up the camouflage foliage that was blocking his settlement, Han Lilis was faced with a tall bamboo fortress. The bamboo fort was a settlement barrier, a gate was made there for the entrance.
Not long after that the fortress opened when Han Lilis whistled with a special tone, it seemed that someone had appeared behind the fortress, he was the gatekeeper of this settlement.
"Miss Han, where have you been, Chief Han has been worrying about you since last night!?" The guard was surprised to see Han Lilis followed a sense of relief as well.
"Sorry uncle, I fell asleep while searching for medicinal plants earlier, I'm sorry." Han Lilis put her hands together.
Han Lilis was the daughter of the Chief of this Settlement, the people there had great respect for her family including Han Lilis among them.
The guard sighed then told Han Lilis to go inside, Han Lilis thanked him before running small towards his house.
The houses in the settlement were all made of bamboo, there were 700 people living there. The animal human race knows no money, they use a barter system for buying and selling .
Han Lilis then headed to her residence where her father was pacing back and forth at the door of the house, Han Lilis' arrival there made her father happy and immediately embraced her only daughter.
"Where alone Lilis, I'm so worried about you..." Hang Xia felt happy that her daughter was fine until she hugged him tightly.
"I'm looking for a cure for Mom, Dad... I've got some." Han Lilis excitedly showed the medicinal plants she got when she left.
Han Xiang, the name of Han Lilis' father, could only force a smile on his daughter.
Han Lilis did not know what kind of illness had befallen her mother all this time, rather than curing her Han Xiang as her husband could only make her wife last longer but to heal were two different things.
Han Lilis mother had been lying on her bed for the past year. The disease he suffered is unknown but certainly his condition gets worse every time.
Han Xiang had already used various kinds of medicines but had not managed to cure him.
Their medicinal knowledge and health were very limited in the settlement, if it was possible that Han Xiang might want to bring him to the city but he realized it was very impossible to do so.
