"Of course. This is a basic skill for humans living in high society." She answered proudly, walking towards the door with her white wolf striding beside her.
Her Cosmos Bag swinging at her hips, she steppped out of the room into the freezing cold, closing the door behind her. Even with all the fur on her coat she hugged herself with her hads and rubbed her ams, looking around her as she walked out of the courtyard towards Rong Jian's Aster Courtyard. There were icicle hanging from the roofs of the buildings and walls. Snow was piled up on all the surfaces that weren't completely vertical. The roofs of the buildings, the ground and the gardens were banketed in white. There were, however, some servants in green trying to clear the snow in the gardens in order to preserve the beauty of the place and make sure none of the flowers were crushed.
Shen Tianyu quickly scurried to the building she was called to, her wolf companion easily following beside her. It almost looked invisible, it's beautiful white fur blending in with the snow of the surroundings.
"It's even colder than before. I didn't think it was possible." Shen Tianyu commented as she abandoned warming herself with her hands, opting to circulate her spiritual power to keep her warm instead. She held her hands up to cover her nose and mouth as she walked.
" It's always this cold around this time of the year. " Xue Lang eyed her as if asking her what nonsense she was spouting.
" It's still way too cold. I feel like I'm breathing in tiny icicles every time I take in a breath. " Shen Tianyu didn't want to talk aloud anymore because the cold was really cutting and she doubted it was good for her lungs. Also, the serants would pribably look at her as if she was insaneand she didn't want the reputation of the mentally handicapped Wangfei among Rong Jian's subordinates.
" Well, deal with it since you're going to stay here from now on. " The wolf nonchalantly humphed with it's nose.
" Hmph. I suppose a Snow Wolf like you will never understand my pain. You grew up in a much colder environment so something like this is probably too warm for you. I, on the other hand, never lived in any place as cold as this, much less colder. " She complained about their difference in living environments. One was a human and the other was a wolf, yes, but all animals evolve according to their environments. She was sure the humans that grew up in this weather were more accustoomed to it than her so she didn't bother with complaining about their difference in races. And yes, despite how much more superior humans believe themselves to be, they are in fact still animals. And unlike many folk stories, Shen Tianyu did believe in the theories of her previous world, that humans evolved from a common prehistoric ancestor and not because they were descendants of some gods or dumped here by said gods.
" Probably that's it. Why are you sulking? " Xue Lang asked as it trotted along.
" You have such a lovely and warm layer of fur while I'm still cold even wearing fur coats. It's so unfair. " She grumbled as they stepped ove the threshold of Aster Courtyard.
"Ah-Jian, I'm coming in." She announced unceremoniuosly as she pushed open the door tot he study and quickly closed it behind her when she felt her wolf's fur brush against her legs as it jumped inside too.
Rong Jian was sitting t his desk, reading over documents and had just put down the one in his hand to directly talk to her. "That was quite fast. I assumed you would sleep in for a bit more."
"How could I keep Wangye waiting?" She responded with a slightly mocking tone in jest. She rubbed her empty stomach as she looked around the room, having not eaten anything since last night in this cold weather. "Is there any food?"
"I'm having the cooks prepare. Can you wait for a bit more? If not, I have some snacks." Rong Jian answered her as he got up and walked towards a chest behind him that was usually obstructed from view by his desk.
"You preserve snacks in a chest? Are they still edible?" Shen Tianyu was aware there were no preservatives in this time period nor were there refrigerators. No matter how salty the snack was, it wouldn't last for more than a few days. She eyed the chest that she had just noticed with suspicion, standing still in here spot for the promise of delicious food later.
"Of course not. I just keep some other stuff in here too." Rong Jian opened the chest up with no effort, it apparently didn't have any kind of lock, and pulled out a bag. Though it was plain with no special engravings on the bag, Shen Tianyu could immediately tell what it was.
"You kept them in a Cosmos Bag?" Perhaps she was just extra sensitive or maybe it was something that all owners of a Cosmos Bag can feel, she could immediately pick up on the space engraved inside the bag Rong Jian was holding.
"Yup. Though I still make sure it gets cleaned every week or so. Even inside a Cosmos Bag, one shouldn't leave food for too long. I have some street food that was bought within the week, would you like some before breakfast?" He walked around the desk and held the bag out to her.
Shen Tianyu was now looking at Rong Jian with a stink eye. "What do you have a whole Cosmos Bag worth of food for? Don't tell me you've been skipping meals." She still reached out her hand to take the bag, opening it up to look inside. As she suspected, there was a mountain of street foods inside. Enough to feed the whole residence. She closed it and looked back up at the owner of the Cosmos Bag she was holding, refraining from reaching in and taking a bite of whatever she took out.
Rong Jian coughed into his fist at the question, his eyes wandering but still settled back on her. "Sometimes, I get busy you see. So food that I can hold as I work are more convenient than some elegant meal eaten with chopsticks."
"You need to eat three meals a day, not street snacks the whole day. That's how you're supposed to stay healthy. Spiritual power isn't going to help you when you get a clogged vessel." She started ranting about the benefits of sitting down and eating a proper meal. She may like street food, but she would never eat it as if it could replace realmeals. Most of those foods, if not all, were laden with oil, which wasn't healthy if consumed in large quantities. After all, the ones most likely to buy them were kids, and kids like the crunchy feel of something fried. Adults usually knew better than to buy street food all the time and nobles usually looked down their noses on them because they "would never eat commoner food that was handled so frivoulously" as they put it.
