Just thinking about it made him anxious.
Yet Ignatius just smiled at him gently and unfazed by his concerns.
"You're still unsure about your future, aren't you?" Ignatius asked.
"Well… yes," Shen Xinghui admitted.
"In that case, there's no need to rush into a decision," Ignatius said calmly. "You're still young, Xinghui. It's okay to take your time and figure things out. Besides, I'd appreciate your help. Your cooking is very delicious, and I'm hopeless when it comes to household tasks. Having you handle things like meals during the journey would be a big help."
Ignatius's easy smile and kind words made Shen Xinghui feel a mix of gratitude and unease.
How could someone be so generous?
And was it really okay to rely on him like this?
Shen Xinghui couldn't help but worry about becoming too dependent.
"Also," Ignatius added, "humans are in high demand in the Drakthar Dominion."
"In demand?" Shen Xinghui asked, confused.
