Chapter 433 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator 36
Poisoning?
Meng Qizhou was poisoned?
Little Fruit clearly hadn't expected this to happen, as he hadn't shown any unusual behavior that day.
Seeing that she was still standing there dumbfounded, Yao Ri said again, "You should run quickly. Anyway, there are two ginseng fruits in the sect. Even if you leave, the other ginseng fruit can save Senior Brother Meng."
Before she could react, he snatched the fruit in his mouth and ran off quickly.
He took her down the mountain first.
Once she gets down the mountain, she'll have to escape on her own.
Before Xiaoguo could even catch her breath, she arrived at the foot of the mountain after a bumpy ride.
She was about to throw up from all the jolting!
In the past, when Yao Ri took her out to play, he would always complain that he was tired and needed to rest on the spot, or that he couldn't walk anymore and couldn't go to any further places. It turned out that he was just fooling her.
Today, it probably won't even take fifteen minutes to get from the small courtyard to the foot of the mountain.
The wind was whistling in her ears as she drove, which showed how fast she was going.
"You should leave quickly. Once they realize you're missing, they'll definitely send people to look for you."
Yao Ri put her down and urged her to leave.
Little Fruit nodded and ran into the woods on its short legs.
Yao Ri, worried that she might not take it seriously, reminded her again, "Don't be lazy, run faster! If you don't want to be eaten, run now!"
The little fruit quickly disappeared into the woods.
Now is a good time.
In the original storyline, she caused Meng Qizhou's spiritual power to surge violently, nearly killing him. He was so angry that he was ready to kill her directly, but in the end, she was rescued by other spirits and disappeared.
Although there are some differences now, the general situation is still the same.
There's no problem.
Thinking of all this, Xiao Guozi felt relieved and prepared to leave.
Ultimately, saving one's life is the most important thing.
She walked in the woods for a while, and then fog rolled in, turning everything into a white expanse, obscuring even the path in front of her.
She looked around warily.
Soon, a man's figure appeared in the fog.
It's the familiar White Bone Demon.
Xiao Guozi remembered his aura. That day, when she helped heal his hand, she could feel a spiritual power belonging to her and wouldn't mistake him for someone else.
"Why did you come down the mountain? There are monsters in the surrounding forests, it's very dangerous. You should go back to your sect." He said, frowning.
This fog is deliberately set up by those monsters to make people lose their way.
"I...I'm not going back to the sect, I'm going home," Little Fruit replied.
"Are you all alone?"
"...Hmm." Her tone was pitiful, as if she had been kicked out.
The man paused for a moment, then said, "Follow me, I'll lead you out of the forest."
Little Guozi nodded and obediently followed behind him.
She doesn't know the way and it will probably take her a long time to get out.
She knew this skeleton demon wasn't a bad person, but she was still willing to believe him.
The man walked briskly ahead.
Little Guozi followed along, though with some difficulty.
After a while, the man suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at her.
Little Fruit was still panting when she asked, "Why are you stopping?"
"Can you...walk?" He seemed a little embarrassed, and his words were stammering. "Um...do you want me...to carry you...that way it will be faster."
She was indeed walking rather slowly.
Little Guozi's eyes lit up.
Of course!
Actually, she was already very tired and didn't want to walk anymore. It would be great if someone was willing to carry her, and of course she was willing.
She nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay." Upon receiving her reply, the man picked her up and continued on his way.
Little Fruit looked down and found that the two hands holding her were normal, not the horrible skeletons from before.
"Is your hand all better?" she asked.
The man had already noticed her probing gaze. After hearing her question, he explained, "Besides the hand you helped me restore that day, the other hand was treated with illusion magic and hasn't healed yet... but it will be soon."
"……oh."
The little fruit didn't ask any more questions, and the man didn't continue speaking either, focusing on continuing their journey.
He was afraid his appearance would frighten her, so he had just used an illusion to temporarily cover himself. If he hadn't done that, she probably wouldn't have let him hug her.
Not long after.
Little Fruit asked again, "What's your name?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "I have no name."
Where do you live?
"I have no home."
"..."
The conversation was going nowhere.
However, Xiao Guozi was always very sociable and didn't care about his wooden reply. "Let me give you a few names. It's so inconvenient not to have a name. How will people call you? You need to have a name, don't you think?"
She looked around.
They were now traveling through a valley, surrounded by dense, tall, and lush trees...
Little Fruit thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call you..."
"Wildflowers! Or sugar figurines!"
"..."
The man pursed his lips. "...Not good."
Little Fruit's ears drooped down; he never expected that the name he had chosen would be disliked by him.
She thought he was a stupid guy who couldn't say no, after all, he had been called an ugly monster by her before and then had to apologize.
"Hmph! Fine then, I won't name you anything. Call me whatever you want."
Little Fruit touched her stomach. Although she wasn't hungry yet, she had rushed out in such a hurry that she hadn't brought anything with her.
There are still so many little sugar figurines under the bed that haven't been eaten yet.
It might be a waste.
She couldn't help but say, "I love eating little sugar figurines the most..."
The man remained silent again.
Little Fruit sighed deeply, thinking of the sugar figurines she could never have.
He looked somewhat unhappy.
After a while, the man seemed to give in and said, "Then let's call him Little Sugar Man."
