Chapter 299: Ruins of the Plain (4)
“Treasures aren’t as important as Ball Ball! What if you encounter danger?” Leng Ruoxue caressed Ball Ball’s soft fur and coaxed.
“Big Sister, Ball Ball won’t be in danger.” Ball Ball was touched and happily rubbed Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful face with his chubby little body.
Butterfly flapped its wings and came in front of Leng Ruoxue. “Girl, don’t underestimate this little thing. When he grows up, he will be very powerful.”
“Ball Ball, you have to be careful!” Leng Ruoxue reminded. In fact, she had always treated Ball Ball as a child, so as a parent, she would naturally be worried if he ran around. But after listening to Butterfly, she also felt that she was a little too nervous. Children should be more independent.
“Yes, Big Sister, I’ll be careful,” Ball Ball promised.
“Don’t fly too far!” Leng Ruoxue warned again.
“Okay, Big Sister,” Ball Ball replied and then slowly flew away.
“Damn Freak, why are you laughing?” Leng Ruoxue asked in embarrassment when she turned her head and saw Freak covering his mouth and laughing.
“Xue’er, I was thinking if you would also worry so much if we have a baby in the future,” Freak said somewhat hesitantly.
“Damn Freak, you’re thinking too far,” Leng Ruoxue scolded softly. She turned back to look at Leng Qingtian and the others. Phew! Fortunately, they didn’t hear it.
“I’m preparing for a rainy day!” Freak laughed softly. Hehe, Xue’er is shy, so I definitely won’t laugh at her.
“Freak, it’s getting late. We have to find a place to camp.” Leng Ruoxue changed the topic.
“Yes, this place isn’t suitable. Let’s walk farther ahead!” Freak suggested.
“Okay.”
After walking for a while, Leng Ruoxue saw an open space not far away. So she stopped, turned around, pointed at the place, and said to Leng Qingtian, “Grandpa, let’s set up camp there!”
“Okay, Xue’er! Are you really not going to let Feng Da and the others sleep in your space?” Leng Qingtian asked softly.
“Yep. As long as there’s no danger, they have to stay outside,” Leng Ruoxue said. She didn’t want to raise Feng Da and the others into flowers in a greenhouse.
“Xue’er, you’re very biased!” Freak suddenly said.
“Huh? How am I biased?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
“You were so worried about Ball Ball just now!” Freak reminded.
“Ball Ball is a child, but Feng Da and the others are already adults. How can it be the same?” Leng Ruoxue glared at Freak.
“Kids need more training. You can’t spoil them!” Freak said.
“Uh! I’m not spoiling him! When he becomes an adult, there will be opportunities for training,” Leng Ruoxue quibbled.
Freak chuckled. “Oh, Xue’er, where are we staying tonight?”
“Of course outside. We have to set an example!” Leng Ruoxue said very seriously.
“Are you sure we can stay here?” Freak looked at the open space. It wasn’t very big!
“Sure. They can share a tent with three people. In addition, we have to leave people on night duty,” Leng Ruoxue said after some calculations.
Leng Ruoxue turned her head and asked Butterfly, “Butterfly, what do you know about this plain?”
“I only know that the nights on plains don’t seem safe. I don’t know anything else,” Butterfly said honestly.
“Didn’t you call yourself an envoy of the mystic realm? You don’t even know this!” Freak deliberately mocked.
“Envoys of mystic realms aren’t omnipotent!” Butterfly accepted its fate. It wasn’t the first time it had embarrassed itself, so it was getting used to it.
“Stop pretending to be pitiful. Go inform Feng Da and the others!” Leng Ruoxue ordered Butterfly, ignoring its self-pity.
“Okay, girl!” Butterfly answered solemnly and flew back.
Feng Da and the others accepted Leng Ruoxue’s arrangement, immediately set up their tents, and then cooked dinner.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked along the road and walked around, but they didn’t find anything abnormal.
“Xue’er, there seems to be no problems currently,” Freak said after walking around.
“Okay, get everyone to be more alert at night!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
“Miss, food is ready.” Lin Yuan walked over at this moment.
“Okay. Freak, let’s eat first!”
“Okay.”
They walked toward the dining area together.
Everyone sat down around the fire.
“Freak, do you feel like there are eyes staring at us?” Leng Ruoxue whispered as she held a piece of grilled meat and leaned against Freak.
“Yes, it should be in the grass,” Freak guessed.
“Big Sister, I’m back.” At this moment, Ball Ball flew back, and his small paws were holding a lot of things.
“Uh! Ball Ball, you’re really amazing.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the pile of things that Ball Ball placed in front of her, and two drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. At the same time, she was a little dumbfounded because she didn’t recognize a single thing that Ball Ball brought back, including the black thing that she threw to Freak not long ago.
“Hehe, Big Sister, these are all good treasures! There are still many over there, but Ball Ball couldn’t take them all,” Ball Ball said with a face full of regret.
“Eh! Little Ball Ball, what are these things you brought back?” Old Zao looked at the small pile of things on the ground with a face full of question marks. These things were neither herbs nor ores. What the heck were they?
“Ball Ball doesn’t know! Ball Ball only knows that they are all treasures,” Ball Ball said embarassedly. He knew these things because of his talents, so he wasn’t sure what they were.
“Big Sister, I’ll go get some more.” Then Ball Ball flew away.
“Everyone, be careful. There seems to be something in the grass!” Leng Ruoxue reminded everyone in a low voice as she stored the things Ball Ball brought back into the bracelet. Then she stood up and shouted again, “Let’s rest early since you’re full!”
