Yueyao said curiously, "When did I stop eating meat? It's just that the flavor you like is too strong; I prefer something lighter." Mingzhu enjoyed dishes like braised pork, which were rich, oily, and heavy, and Yueyao was not used to eating them.
Mingzhu, realizing her mistake, felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "You really should have told me earlier if our tastes didn't match. You kept silent for two months, making me think you didn't eat meat!"
Yueyao laughed, "It's okay, it's not too late now."
Seeing Bai Yi instructing someone to pick lotus pods, Mingzhu immediately called out, "Bai Yi, it will take them a while to come back; go pick a couple yourself."
Yueyao finally had the chance to witness Bai Yi's martial skills. With a push from his feet against the ground, he flew towards the lake, stepping lightly on the lotus leaves as if he were a dragonfly skimming the water. When Bai Yi bent down to pick the lotus pods, Yueyao's heart leapt to her throat.
