Jiang Ning returned to the bungalow and instructed Xue Yuantong,
"Get ready for the picnic on the river dam later. Prepare the tools, oil, seasonings, and everything else—all packed up."
Xue Yuantong replied, "Yeah, like I need reminding. You'd better keep the promise you made last night, or I won't let you off the hook tonight!"
She had purposefully skipped a meal this morning, all in anticipation of the food Jiang Ning promised last night that was supposedly better than mutton.
Jiang Ning returned to his rented room, cast a Magic Formation, concealed his figure, and then he powered the Spirit Boat towards Hu Qi Mountain.
'Rabbit is best when freshly slaughtered.'
As Xue Yuantong was packing things up, Xue Chuchu busied herself alongside her, silently helping but with her thoughts on the recent events.
