Yan Baibai thought she had transmigrated into a male lead's upgrade and face-slapping "cool" novel. After being awakened by the system, she was forced to undertake tasks to advance the ...
"I acted like this because I knew you wouldn't do such a thing." Yan Baibai could still sense whether others had malicious intentions towards her. She didn't act stupid suddenly.
"Besides, you rescued me the moment you appeared. If you were truly the kind of person who would abandon the lives of your fellow disciples for the sake of a demon pill, you should have hidden in the dark and waited until I was seriously injured before taking action."
"So, you suddenly turned gloomy just now because you were worried about me?"
Yan Baibai saw the boy's face slowly turning red as she spoke, and suddenly realized that she had misunderstood him just now, and her smile became a little brighter.
Lu Wuxiu clenched the demon pill in his hand, nodded at Yan Baibai, turned around quickly and continued to lead the way. After making sure that Yan Baibai could not see his face, the corners of his mouth, which had been suppressed, finally curled up slightly.
Originally, what Lu Wuxiu said about having a place to go was just a fabrication. In the past, when he was alone, he would just find a big tree to spend the night. But now that Yan Baibai was by his side, he began to seriously look for a place to stay tonight.
Fortunately, Lu Wuxiu had rich experience in survival in the wild. According to the direction of mountains and rivers, he found an excellent cave. The cave was located halfway up a vertical mountain, and a clear river ran across the mountainside, solving the problems of drinking water, washing, and food.
Both of them were at the peak of the foundation-building stage. They quickly went up to the cave and cleaned it. When the moon rose quietly from the east mountain, they were already grilling fish in the cave.
The fish was naturally caught by Lu Wuxiu. He turned over the fish by the fire and looked up at the top of the cave. At this moment, two fist-sized beads were inlaid on the top of the not-so-big cave. The beads emitted a light that was fainter than that of the fire.
"This is a gift my second senior sister gave me shortly after my master brought me to Yanjian Sect. During that time, I was particularly afraid of the dark and didn't dare to sleep alone, so she gave me this pair of night pearls." Yan Baibai saw Lu Wuxiu staring at her, so she explained.
"It turns out that there are clams in this world that can hatch such big pearls." Lu Wuxiu couldn't help but murmur.
"Hahahaha, that's what I thought when I first saw it. Second Senior Sister said it was given to her by a friend from the sea monster tribe. I think it must have been hatched from a sea monster!"
Soon, Yan Baibai took out various spicy seasonings from the storage bag and sprinkled them on the fish. The aroma of the fish quickly spread.
Lu Wuxiu quickly took a grilled fish from Yan Baibai's hand. After eating it, his eyes lit up. Although he didn't have a big appetite, it was the first time for him to eat such delicious food in the wild.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, why are there these things in your storage bag?" Lu Wuxiu couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, most of the time when we come to the secret realm is spent fighting for life and death. If we can't eat delicious food when we rest, wouldn't it be even more miserable?" Yan Baibai smiled after swallowing the food in his mouth.
As she spoke, she took out a number of small pill bottles and placed them in a row in front of her. She then opened them one by one and began to enthusiastically introduce the spices in the bottles to Lu Wuxiu, talking about how her senior brothers and sisters had supported her in doing this.
Lu Wuxiu watched intently, his heart aching with envy. The storage bag Yan Baibai had casually dropped at his feet was something an outer disciple would show off and cherish.
The pill bottles also exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which seemed to be of high quality. But what he envied most was the aura of "being surrounded by love" that emanated from her from the inside out.
"Lu Wuxiu, this is for you." When Lu Wuxiu's eyes focused again, he saw Yan Baibai handed a set of clothes in front of him. Before he could ask, Yan Baibai continued to explain: "This was originally the clothes I prepared for my junior brother, but he has been away training and hasn't come back yet. You two are about the same size. Wear them first, and I'll prepare some for him next time."
People who are surrounded by love will take care of those around them without realizing it.
Since meeting Yan Baibai, Lu Wuxiu has had a lot of feelings in his heart, and he really forgot the embarrassment of his clothes.
The clothes were prepared by Yan Baibai for someone else, so Lu Wuxiu was naturally embarrassed to agree to it. However, after Yan Baibai asked, "Are you planning to wear this clothes all the time?", he still accepted the clothes.
When Lu Wuxiu was changing clothes, Yan Baibai naturally turned around, but unexpectedly, a moment later, there was a slight sound behind her, and a white, round pearl rolled to her feet.
"What is this?" Yan Baibai was puzzled. Just when she was about to squat down to pick it up, a hand picked it up faster than her.
Yan Baibai turned around and saw that Lu Wuxiu had already changed his clothes.
"This is just an ordinary pearl." Seeing Yan Baibai looking at him curiously, Lu Wuxiu quickly hid the pearl in his hand.
"Yeah." Yan Baibai nodded. Seeing Yan Baibai's reaction, Lu Wuxiu couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
He had intended to give this pearl as a thank-you gift to Yan Baibai, but after seeing the two night-shining pearls she had casually inlaid on the ceiling of the cave, how could he have the nerve to give her such a thing?
"It looks very good." Yan Baibai said again.
"What?" Lu Wuxiu's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously tightened the pearl in his hand.
"Lu Wuxiu, you look really good in this outfit." Yan Baibai curled her lips and smiled, looking at him seriously: "That pearl just now was also very beautiful."
