Yuan You\'s eyes widened as her gaze followed the sound—she saw a pheasant pierced by the arrow in a bush not far away. It struggled for a while before collapsing onto the bush.

"Wow, Big Sis Yaoyao, you\'re incredible!" Yuan You applauded and shouted loudly when she processed what she had just seen. Her little face was flushed red and she sounded so happy one would think she was the one who fired the arrow.

One of the guards immediately ran up and picked up the pheasant.

"That\'s a big one!" Yuan You was utterly delighted; she was acting as if she had never seen a pheasant before.

Yaoyao burst out laughing at Yuan You\'s reaction.

At the same moment, Hexin had also shot a rabbit.

She was quite skilled with the bow and arrows—she managed to strike the rabbit right in the throat with one shot.

Yaoyao gave her an impressed look.

Hexin was not really a great beauty, but she still had a nice face that was pleasant to the eyes.

She looked rather dashing and heroic when she pulled on her bowstring. It was quite a sight.

"Xinxin, you\'re incredible with the bow." Yaoyao could not help praising her.

"You\'re too kind, Princess!" Hexin made a show of kneeling on one knee.

"That\'s enough. Stop being so formal with me." Yaoyao shook her head as she burst out laughing.

After that, the three of them hunted some more pheasants and wild rabbits.

After the hunt, Yaoyao realized that Hexin had particularly sharp ears and could always detect the location of the animals accurately.

Hexin noticed Yaoyao staring intently at her, looking deep in thought. She smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me that way?"

"Xinxin, you\'re amazing!" Yaoyao put her arms around Hexin\'s shoulders and flattered her sincerely.

Hexin found this funny and said, "What\'s going on? Are you impressed by my exceptional talent?"

"It\'s not just your talent with the bow, it\'s also your ability to accurately estimate the animals\' location. I\'m truly impressed." Yaoyao continued heaping praises on Hexin.

Hexin replied with a smile, "It\'s nothing. I just have better hearing than average. My father also frequently brings me and Hean hunting. Anyone will become experienced once they\'ve done it often enough."

Yuan You joined in while holding a hunted animal in each hand. "Big Sis Yaoyao, what are we going to do with so many animals?"

Yaoyao glanced at the pheasants and wild rabbits they caught and gave some thought before answering. "How about grilling some meat tonight?"

"Grilled meat for dinner?" Yuan You\'s eyes widened.

Yaoyao adored how Yuan You was always looking like she had never seen the world before. It was really fun to watch.

She rubbed Yuan You\'s head and teased her. "Have you never tried grilled meat before?"

Yuan You replied honestly, "I\'ve eaten meat grilled cooked by the female chef in the mansion before, but I\'ve never eaten an animal that\'s grilled on the fire in its entirety like this. I\'ve never seen or tasted something like this before."

Yaoyao could not help feeling a little sorry for her when she heard this.

The three of them may be similar in age, but compared to Yaoyao and Hexin, Yuan You was truly an aristocrat\'s daughter who has been brought up locked inside the mansion.

She could not experience anything or have fun as she liked.

It was clear that the Prime Minister\'s family was very strict.

However, she was surprised that Yuan You did not end up becoming a stubborn and indignant lady who was simply ignorant of the world. Instead, she was quite fun to tease.

"That\'s alright. I\'ll personally grill some meat for you tonight. I promise I will give you a filling meal.

Yuan You\'s eyes brightened as she could not wait for it. She rubbed her palms together. "What can I help out with?"

When Yaoyao saw how much she wanted to help, she said, "Go and gather some dried sticks for us."

"Alright. I know how to do that." Yaoyao left happily.

Yaoyao took two hunted animals from their bounty and passed the rest to the guards to be brought back to the holiday home.

Not far away was a mountain stream that had spring water flowing freely from it.

Yaoyao and Hexin brought the pheasant and rabbit they wanted to grill to be cleaned up next to the stream.
