Luo Bai gently picked up You Ran, said something to the clan leader and the witch, and then returned to the cave.
Knowing that she is a clean person and must take a bath every night before going to bed, I boiled some hot water, washed her clean, and then covered her with a blanket.
Huang Yu was tidying up the newly dug cave dwelling when she suddenly heard Qing Shan come to report that You Ran had fainted and had left her things behind to fly back.
He ran back, panting, and as soon as he reached the cave entrance, he saw You Ran lying on the animal skin bed, her face deathly pale and colorless.
He looked extremely haggard, and just one glance made his heart ache.
How did she faint?
Luo Bai smoothed the stray hairs from You Ran's forehead: "The shrine maiden said she wasn't feeling well, and that she'd be fine after some rest."
Hearing this, Huang Yu felt somewhat relieved, but You Ran remained unawakened, and his heart was still uneasy.
Time passed second by second, and the Jerusalem artichokes in the pot had long since burned dry. It wasn't until a burnt smell wafted out that Huang Yu noticed there was still food You Ran had prepared in the pot.
I rushed over to put out the fire and looked at the snow-white food inside; it looked delicious.
But he had no appetite at all, so he picked up a large earthenware bowl next to him and turned it upside down in the pot to prevent any crumbs from falling in later.
At this moment, the clan chief ran over carrying a large piece of monster meat.
"How is it? Has Youran woken up?"
Luo Bai shook his head: "Not yet."
The clan chief stood aside, glanced at it, and stuffed the meat into his hand.
"Give her some monster meat. It's good for females as it strengthens their bodies."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yu and Luo Bai immediately sprang into action, concluding that You Ran must have fainted due to exhaustion and malnutrition.
If you eat this meat, you'll definitely wake up sooner.
Huang Yu took You Ran's special bowl and chopsticks, and the two of them worked together to tear the rough monster meat into thin strips and put them in the bowl.
Luo Bai helped her up, and Huang Yu picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
However, her tightly closed lips could not be pried open, and if too much force was used, it might damage her mouth.
"What should I do? I can't get it in!"
Luo Bai panicked. If he didn't wake up for three days and didn't eat or drink for three days, he would die!
This is true. With You Ran's slender frame, she probably wouldn't last three days. She would die if she didn't eat or drink for two days.
Huang Yu looked at the monster meat in her hand, grabbed it, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, raised her hand to gently cup You Ran's face, and lowered her head to pry open her tightly closed teeth with her tongue.
Although it's a bit difficult, this food must be eaten today.
He didn't know what would happen to him if something happened to You Ran.
Finally, he pried open a gap and quickly fed the food into her mouth.
Luo Bai watched anxiously from the side. Suddenly, he noticed You Ran's throat move and she said excitedly.
"She swallowed it!"
Huang Yu also noticed that the food in her mouth was gone, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He'd go crazy if he didn't even know how to swallow.
A slight smile of relief appeared on his lips. He fed him two more bites before stopping.
"You take good care of her, I'll go and make this monster meat even softer."
Mu Youran had no idea what was happening outside. She only felt darkness all around her, and suddenly, she felt unbearably hot all over. She wished she could strip naked and dive into the water to cool off.
As time went by, the heat gradually subsided, and I felt full of energy.
A hazy white area appeared ahead, and she quickly ran towards it. Although there was nothing there, it was still better than staying in the dark.
As soon as she arrived, she saw a familiar face in front of her.
"Luobai~"
Luo Bai, who was wiping her sweat, suddenly heard Mu Youran's weak voice and shouted excitedly.
"Huang Yu, You Ran has woken up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Yu appeared in her line of sight.
She then realized she was lying in bed, and both of them looked anxious and worried.
Wasn't she just watching the commotion outside? Why is she back now?
What's wrong with me?
"You've fainted!"
Huang Yu held her hand tightly, her face full of guilt.
"It's all my fault for not taking good care of you. You were so tired that you fainted."
"Just tell me what you want to do in the future, and I'll do it!"
Mu Youran shook her head; she knew why she had fainted.
She simply didn't want to entrust her life to others; she was simply terrified by the cruelty of this beastly world.
If she still has to rely on others for these things that she can do herself, wouldn't she really become a useless person?
If Luo Bai and Huang Yu are not by my side someday, wouldn't I starve to death?
"It's okay, I can do it."
Luo Bai was displeased upon hearing this: "You're still showing off! You're so tired you fainted!"
Mu Youran smiled slightly. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, the two of them are sincere towards her.
"I didn't faint from exhaustion, I was just scared because it was the first time I'd ever seen such a huge monster."
The two believed this, after all, they were genuinely startled when they first saw the magical beast.
Not to mention that You Ran is female, it's understandable that she would be scared if it were her first time seeing her like this.
"Then eat some more monster meat, and you won't faint again!"
Huang Yu quickly went out and brought in the minced meat that was simmering in the pot.
Upon seeing the actual product, Mu Youran immediately remembered that she still had a large pot of Jerusalem artichokes. She turned over to get out of bed, but Luo Bai stopped her.
"Don't get up, you've only just woken up."
"No, I still have Jerusalem artichokes cooking in the pot, or the pot might burn through!"
