“But your speed seems to be much faster than before. You actually reacted when I took the roasted meat.”

When Shirley saw that Pan Liang was about to snatch the meat, she directly picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

By the time she reached the skewer to take a bite of the meat, it had already appeared in Pan Liang’s hand.

Pan Liang gasped. “It’s nice to be in this world. I can’t even feel how hot the meat is while holding it with my bare hand.”

With the meat being snatched away, Shirley suddenly felt like crying. Fortunately, the second piece of roasted meat was almost ready.

This time, Pan Liang did not fight with Shirley for the meat as he had not finished the piece of roast meat in his hand.

He took out a beer and put it on the ground. He opened the bottle straight away and started to blow.

Shirley’s nose twitched. “Wow, it’s beer. How many good things are hidden in your treasure?”

At this moment, Shirley did not care about her image. She directly pounced on Pan Liang and snatched a bottle of beer. Then, she opened the bottle like Pan Liang did.

Fsst.

“Ah, it’s refreshing. It’s iced beer.”

“Pan Liang, did you know that ice is very expensive during the season? It’s even more expensive than roasted meat.

“If we sell iced beer in the city, we can sell these two bottles for 100 gold coins.”

Of course, Pan Liang was not concerned about how much these two bottles of beer could be sold for. He drank one bottle after another.

Shirley imitated him and blew at the bottle. However, she spat out the beer after just a few mouthfuls.

She did not know that this kind of beer was filled with air. It was different from the beer that was usually drunk in a cup in this world.

Pan Liang pointed at her and laughed. “Hahaha. The northeast people would call someone like you a dumb*ss.”

Shirley naturally knew that the remark was not something nice. However, with the delicious food in hand, Shirley did not mind.

While she was still eating, Pan Liang had already climbed into the carriage to sleep.

By the time Shirley finished her food, she realized that her blanket had already been taken by Pan Liang.

“You terrible man, quickly return the blanket to me.”

Nevertheless, Shirley could not pull the blanket that was tightly wrapped around Pan Liang. She wondered how he wrapped the blanket around his body as though it grew on his body.

Left with no choice, she begged Pan Liang for mercy.

“Share the blanket with me. It’s a little cold by the river, and I might get sick.”

Pan Liang felt that he would not be able to sleep well during the night if he refused to share the blanket with her.

He had no choice but to place the blanket horizontally and shared half of it with her.

Under such circumstances, Shirley did not dare to tuck herself under the blanket. She just hugged it and sat in the carriage. Then, she fell asleep while leaning against the carriage.

After she fell asleep, Pan Liang opened his eyes to take a look. She was actually hugging his sword in her arms.

“Tsk. You’re sleeping like a log. If I threw you out, you wouldn’t even be aware of it. What’s the use of hugging a sword then?”

Pan Liang took the sword out of Shirley’s arms. When he did it, Shirley did not even move at all.

At the sight of her pitiful look, Pan Liang decided to be more generous by putting the blanket on her. He then lay in the carriage.

“Although I’m not as strong as other immortal swordsmen, I’m still a real sword immortal. This low temperature is not a problem for me.

“Achoo!”

“Holy sh*t. Could I have gotten a cold when I’m not even asleep yet?

“Damn. It can’t be. I need to drink some Indigowoad Root. Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble.”

The next morning, Shirley was already roasting meat before Pan Liang woke up.

Only after Pan Liang smelled the meat was he awake. When he saw Shirley roasting meat again, he could not help but frown.

“You either roast fish or meat every day. Who can take it? If this goes on, my body will be ruined.”

Upon hearing Pan Liang’s voice, Shirley turned around. “That’s how I’ve lived since I was young. When I didn’t have food in the city, I would go outside the city to hunt for some small animals to roast. Otherwise, I would’ve died of hunger.

“Even so, I often went hungry as I couldn’t catch any animals.

“Later, I secretly learned some magic, which made it much easier for me to catch small animals.”

Shirley told the truth. The wild animals in this world had some magic, so it was normal for a child to be unable to catch small animals.

“Fine, fine. After the barbecue today, we have to buy a pot in the city no matter what.”

Actually, Pan Liang had a pot in the exchange store of the system. Nevertheless, he tended to avoid using his Grievance Points to exchange it since he could use money in this world to settle things unless he was greedy.

With Princess Shirley’s identity, they did not need to pay an entrance fee to get into the city. The two of them entered the city smoothly.

During their journey, Shirley introduced Pan Liang to awakening.

One could awaken every ten levels in this world. Through each awakening, one could obtain a skill.

In addition to awakening, one could also learn some magic or martial arts, but these could be learned at a very low level.

Only through awakening could one master high-level martial arts or magic.

Some people tried to learn high-level martial arts and magic. However, they could not succeed regardless of how talented they were.

Of course, there was another way to reach Level 5 or learn magic, namely through the inheritance of other people.

It required the other party to use all the strength in their body straight away, but the party who lost their strength could no longer survive.

As soon as Shirley entered the city, she saw many people looking in her direction.

However, Shirley noticed that the gazes of those people were no longer the same as before. Even so, being looked at this way made her feel rather uncomfortable. There were also people whistling at her.

Despite knowing what they meant, Shirley did not pay attention to them.

Her carriage was open, so those people saw Pan Liang lying in the carriage.

Just as those people thought that Pan Liang was either dead or seriously injured, Pan Liang rolled over and smacked his lips.

The gazes of those people changed from the initial lascivious look to envy.

Pan Liang, who was still in a daze, heard the system’s notification.

[… Grievance Points +10.]

[… Grievance Points +15.]

“Huh? What’s going on? I haven’t done anything yet. Why are there people thinking about me? What’s more, there are so many different names.”

Pan Liang opened his eyes and looked around. He immediately figured out what was happening.

At that, he reached out to touch Shirley’s head. Sure enough, his Grievance Points had increased significantly.
