As night fell again, they would not be able to rest tonight.
But just as everyone was dejected, Leng Ruo Li took a telescope out of her sleeve pocket and carefully scanned the areas where they were standing. She made a surprising discovery: not far from them, a mountain cave seemed to be half-covered by snow, with only half of its entrance exposed. If she hadn't used the telescope, this cave would not have been so easily found.
"Everyone, follow me. There seems to be a cave over there; let's climb over and take a look," Leng Ruo Li said with surprise.
"Li'er, how did you know?" Jun Mo Han asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruo Li held the telescope in her hand up to his eyes, letting him look into the distance.
As Jun Mo Han opened his eyes, he saw a cave entrance half-covered by ice and snow not far in front of him.
"Li'er, your things are truly magical. You can see so clearly from such a distance with this," Jun Mo Han said with great envy.
He felt truly fortunate to have married a consort who was more magical and precious than any treasure!
"This is called a telescope. Do you like it? If you do, I'll lend it to you for a few days," Leng Ruo Li said generously.
"Consort, I really want to play with your telescope too. Can you let me have a try?"
Chu Ming Xuan saw the telescope in Jun Mo Han's hand and was eager to snatch it and play with it. However, the person holding the telescope was Jun Mo Han.
"Now that the telescope is in the Prince's hands, you should ask him if he's willing to lend it to you," Leng Ruo Li said, shrugging her shoulders.
"No need to ask. This Prince is unwilling! I'll let you have it when I'm tired of playing with it," Jun Mo Han refused outright.
Hmph! His consort's things, he, as her husband, hadn't even played enough with them, and this Chu Ming Xuan dared to ask.
"You, as a Prince, are too stingy. Are you afraid I'll snatch your telescope? Really!" Chu Ming Xuan said speechlessly.
"This Prince simply won't give it to you!" Jun Mo Han refused domineeringly.
Everyone: "..."
"Alright, let's go and see if this cave is habitable. If it is, we'll spend the night in this cave," Leng Ruo Li said.
Immediately, everyone's attention was diverted by Leng Ruo Li's words, and they followed closely behind her towards the cave.
After walking for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, they finally reached the cave entrance that Leng Ruo Li had found.
"Li'er, Yin Chen and I will go in first to check if there's any danger inside. If we confirm it's safe, then you can enter," Jun Mo Han said with a serious expression.
"I disagree. If we're going in, we go in together. Even if there's danger inside, we can overcome it together," Leng Ruo Li did not agree with Jun Mo Han's plan this time.
Jun Mo Han looked at Leng Ruo Li's stubborn expression and finally agreed, allowing everyone to enter the cave together.
Thus, everyone took out their flashlights, illuminating the way as they followed the Prince and Consort into the cave.
Not long after they entered the cave, they discovered that it was exceptionally large. The deeper they went, the wider it became. Leng Ruo Li took out a thermometer and found that the temperature inside the cave was about ten degrees higher than outside. This was a delightful discovery.
Tonight, the few of them should be able to rest well.
"Li'er, this cave is too deep; let's not go further inside, shall we?" Jun Mo Han said to Leng Ruo Li.
Hearing this, Leng Ruo Li shone her flashlight inside and nodded after a few seconds of contemplation.
"Then we'll rest here tonight."
Actually, living in this cave was quite good. They didn't need to set up tents; they could simply spread out some soft cushions, cover themselves with thick blankets, and sleep. However, Leng Ruo Li was a girl, so she still set up a simple tent for herself.
After everyone sat down, Leng Ruo Li immediately hid in her tent and, with a flash, entered her system space. They hadn't found suitable resting places for several days and hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, subsisting on milk or warm water with dry rations.
Tonight, Leng Ruo Li planned to cook a delicious meal for everyone. She walked into the pantry and glanced around. Seeing a few large grass carp on the classified food shelves, her apricot eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of what to cook.
Then, Leng Ruo Li took two large grass carp and cleaned them in the space. She marinated them with salt and various seasonings for a while before taking them out. When she left the space, she also brought a large bag of charcoal and asked Yin Chen and the others to help roast the fish.
After Yin Chen and the others had roasted the two large grass carp, Leng Ruo Li took them back into the space, put them in a pot, added various small ingredients, and braised them for ten minutes. Then, she added various side dishes and cooked them. A few minutes later, two fragrant roasted fish were ready.
As soon as Leng Ruo Li took the two pots of roasted fish out of the space, Jun Mo Han and the others smelled the aroma.
"Consort, your fish is so fragrant! Just smelling it makes my mouth water, and my stomach is growling. Can we start eating now?" Chu Ming Xuan, the foodie, said pitifully again.
"We can eat now. Please distribute the bowls and chopsticks I brought out, and we'll start eating," Leng Ruo Li replied with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the bowls and chopsticks she had placed on the cushions were quickly taken by Yin Chen and the others and arranged in front of them.
Leng Ruo Li: "..."
It seemed everyone was starving!
"Then let's start eating!" Leng Ruo Li called out.
Chu Ming Xuan and Yin Chen quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
"Delicious! This fish is truly delicious!" Chu Ming Xuan mumbled as he ate.
"Consort, the fish you made is really delicious. I've never eaten roasted fish prepared this way before," Yin Chen also agreed.
"Consort, the roasted fish you made is so good that even the bones are soft. It's too delicious!" Yin Yi also praised.
"Look how happy you all are following this Prince and Consort. You often get to eat the Consort's delicious food. You must protect the Consort well in the future, understand?" Jun Mo Han said with a leisurely air.
"Yes! Your subordinates remember!" Yin Chen, Yin Yi, and Yin Er replied in unison.
"Alright, Jun Mo Han, don't ruin everyone's mood for eating," Leng Ruo Li said, pinching a piece of Jun Mo Han's thigh. He winced slightly, his forehead furrowing in pain.
This little woman was so kind to others, but so fierce to her own husband.
After dinner, the few of them spread out cushions on the ground, lay down, covered themselves with blankets, and fell asleep.
Outside the cave entrance, a fluffy snow fox watched pitifully. Only after seeing them eat their fill and fall asleep did it dare to cautiously approach Leng Ruo Li and the others.
