NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Fainting
The siblings hiding in the underbrush hadn't expected the bamboo basket grass to be so fierce, and they stared blankly at the scene before them, forgetting to speak.
Just then, Bai Junjun arrived.
She snapped her fingers, and the Special Ability attached to the bamboo basket grass transformed into points of light, returning to Bai Junjun's hand.
The wild grass, devoid of the Special Ability's stimulation, returned to calm.
The women who had been entangled by the wild grass screamed frantically as they escaped their bondage.
Watching their crazed figures, one could guess they'd be insane for at least half a year.
Bai Junjun didn't chase after them, as those women would inevitably perish without protection later on. Leaving this place was the priority.
The children, who had just been upset over Bai Junjun's safety, finally relaxed, seeing her unharmed now.
"Eldest sister, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Bai Junjun shook her head and suddenly, remembering something, she sternly instructed, "Wait for me here and don't go anywhere."
"?" The siblings looked confused.
But Bai Junjun didn't answer them, having already turned and run off.
Bai Junjun hurried back to the site of the earlier battle, where four men lay in a gruesome pool of blood.
Bai Junjun didn't even glance at them, heading straight for... roasted Field Chicken Mushrooms.
The Field Chicken Mushrooms on the stone slab were sizzling with smoke, and they were nearly burnt.
Bai Junjun casually twisted a leaf, scraped the food onto it, and then carried the food back to find the siblings.
Having survived The Apocalypse when they could only rely on Nutrient Solution, she cherished food more than anyone else.
"..." Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu were completely stunned to see their elder sister return again with food.
The first Noble Lady of Baiju Country, who once ate only polished rice and nothing else, had to lower her noble head for survival amid war and constant crises...
At that moment, they truly felt that their elder sister had completely changed.
The siblings could not help but tear up.
As if to reflect the siblings' mood, the sky became gloomy again.
Bai Junjun looked up at the sky and pulled the kids deeper into the old forest once more.
She had nearly exhausted her Special Ability earlier, barely sustaining with the last bit of strength from the Pitcher Plant.
To recover her strength as quickly as possible, she kept eating while walking. But the cooked Field Chicken Mushrooms were just a little bit, burnt quite a lot, plus she had to share half with the two children.
In short, Bai Junjun, now unable to transform her Special Ability due to lack of strength, could only rely on her strong willpower. But after all, she was just in a 16-year-old body. Bai Junjun felt dizzy all of a sudden, and then she passed out.
...
This faint of Bai Junjun terrified Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu.
The two disregarded the food spilled on the ground and rushed to their elder sister's side frantically.
"Elder sister, elder sister, wake up! Don't scare us!"
Bai Sasa resorted to pinching and pressing pain points, but Bai Junjun was like a dead person, making no sound.
Seeing this, Bai Lingyu cried out loud. It seemed like God thought they weren't miserable enough, and as Bai Lingyu wailed, a heavy rain poured down.
The three siblings instantly became drenched like drowned rats.
Although it was the beginning of summer, it was still chilly before the summer solstice, and getting drenched like this could make them sick even if they were healthy.
Bai Sasa gritted his teeth, grabbed Bai Junjun's hand, and struggled to hoist her onto his back.
An eight-year-old child carrying a 16-year-old teenager trudged into the deeper part of the forest, step by step.
