Hua Rong gave him a half-smile.
Qian Que felt a chill run through her body the moment she saw that gaze.
He felt that Hua Rong had changed and no longer loved him.
He might have given her the chicken because he had wanted to give her the nutrient solution earlier.
She was repaying him for the favor she had done for her!
Despite knowing him for many years, she didn't want to owe him even the slightest bit of affection.
"Qian Que..." Ou Yang called his name while he was still in a daze.
He turned his head and saw Ou Yang's longing eyes.
However, that longing look wasn't directed at him, but at the piece of chicken in his hand.
He found it somewhat amusing and handed the piece of chicken to Ou Yang: "You eat it."
Ou Yang looked at Hua Rong, but Hua Rong didn't say anything, and didn't even look at them.
She felt a little embarrassed, but then she thought, since Hua Rong had already given this piece of chicken to Qian Que, then it must belong to Qian Que.
Qianque can be given to whomever she wants.
Thinking about this, she instantly felt justified.
He grabbed the piece of chicken and ate it in one bite, almost choking.
The three classmates watched with envy, but there was nothing they could say.
He had cursed Ouyang countless times in his heart.
She herself was eating meat, but the three of them didn't get to eat anything because of her rejection of Hua Rong.
Thinking about this made them feel uncomfortable.
Just then, Hua Rong came over again, took three pieces of chicken, and handed them to them.
"You guys eat too, we didn't finish anyway."
The three of them were instantly delighted, and thanked him while eating chicken.
"Thank you, Rongrong, you are beautiful inside and out."
"Yes, and you're much prettier now than before."
"Rongrong, I'm sorry for what happened before. We all consider you a good friend."
"Let me tell you, a lot of people in our school still remember you."
"That's right, that's right."
The three classmates who had previously ignored Hua Rong were now all speaking well of her.
They kept praising Hua Rong, as if they were such good friends with him.
Hua Rong just smiled and didn't say anything.
Night fell quickly, and even though they were still far from the cave entrance, the wind and snow continued to blow from the cave entrance to the back.
The temperature inside the cave was extremely low. Qian Que and Ou Yang huddled together, while the two boys from the trio shielded the girl in the middle. Meanwhile, Alexia had fallen asleep in Long Fei's arms.
Now, only Hua Rong remains sober.
She didn't feel cold at all; instead, she walked to the hot spring.
A drop of water floated in front of her. She looked into it carefully for a while, then smiled.
There was indeed a poisonous insect here. This insect should be a type of Gu insect, but an evolved form.
Some venomous insects can survive in a person's body for a long time, until they completely devour the person from the inside out.
These insects are much more dangerous in comparison.
Without much thought, she collected all the hot spring water inside into the Fangjie (square realm).
Because of its special nature, she carefully found a safe place within the boundary to place it.
Someday, it will come in handy.
After she had collected all the hot spring water into this realm, she discovered a stone shimmering with seven colors at the bottom of the small hot spring.
She grasped the colorful stone in her hand from a distance.
"This stone..."
This stone looks similar to a dimensional stone.
However, it is much more mysterious than the Plane Stone.
[Could this be a dimensional crystal?!]
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "What is dimensional crystallization?"
[Dimensional crystals are treasures among treasures; I've heard that only one in tens of millions of dimensional stones will appear. I don't know what these dimensional crystals are used for, but with such a low probability, they must be treasures! Wow, you're incredibly lucky!]
Hua Rong rolled her eyes. Even if it's a treasure, if you don't know its uses, it's still useless if you have it in your hands.
Despite this thought, she still took this dimensional crystal into her collection.
Remembering that it had appeared at the bottom of the hot spring, I decided to place this dimensional crystal at the bottom of the hot spring in the dimensional realm, where there were poisonous insects.
Just then, she heard a buzzing sound outside.
Before he could call out, Qian Que and the others woke up.
Ou Yang's face darkened. "Why are these monsters here? And they sound very close to us. Aren't they supposed to be unable to come here?"
Ouyang recognized the voices as those of the monsters.
Suddenly, she turned her head and saw Hua Rong standing next to the hot spring outlet, and then she saw that the hot spring water was gone.
A thought flashed through her mind, and even then she didn't forget her hatred for Hua Rong.
She shouted, "Ou Huarong, did you take the water away? Why are you messing with things here? Maybe it's because of the hot spring water that those monsters don't dare to come here. Now that you've taken the water away, you've attracted those monsters. Ou Huarong, are you trying to kill us?"
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow, thinking that what Ou Yang said made some sense.
Otherwise, why would those monsters only appear here after she had taken away the hot spring water?
However, it is more accurate to describe it as crystals at the bottom of the water than as water.
Hua Rong did not answer, but instead went out of the cave.
Long Fei and Alexia woke up and followed her outside.
"Rongrong, don't go out! We can't possibly defeat those monsters. Maybe they're just passing by. We'll be fine soon. Don't go out and get yourself killed!"
The three classmates, feeling obliged because they had eaten his food, quickly intervened.
Hua Rong didn't even turn her head, and walked out step by step.
Seeing this, Ou Yang curled her lips and said, "Just let her go. Once she sees those monsters, she'll know how powerful they are."
As she spoke, a gloating glint flashed in her eyes.
Even if this doesn't happen tonight, she'll still have to make Hua Rong die someday.
She had already planned it all out: to lure Hua Rong into the monster horde.
It's truly delightful to achieve my goal without any effort to blow it away.
However, she still needs to find a way to escape.
"Let's think of something quickly. Those monsters might come in, and if we have nowhere to go, we'll probably just have to wait to die."
The three classmates were more concerned about their own lives at this point and stopped paying attention to Hua Rong.
"That's right, let's think of something first. There's a tunnel over here, should we go in?"
Qian Que: "But Rongrong and the others..."
"Never mind them, we have to escape first. There's a passage leading inwards, we can only take a gamble, but we don't know where it leads."
Qian Que frowned and said nothing more.
He loved himself more than Hua Rong.
"Rongrong, nothing should happen."
With that thought in mind, he followed Ouyang toward the tunnel.
Seeing this, Ou Yang smiled.
Qian Que still loves her the most.
