Bai Shengyi couldn't leave.
She was stopped by Jiang Ruomei.
"Wait!" Jiang Ruomei blinked her cat-like eyes and scratched her head sheepishly, "Bai Shengyi, this Gulu beast is so big, you can't eat it all by yourself. Why don't you share some with us? You can travel with us."
After speaking, she clapped her hands, thinking her idea was brilliant. She turned to Yu Shen and asked, "What do you think, Yu Shen?"
"Fine. This East Peak Jungle is very dangerous. You, a blind... you can't see. Traveling with us is the best choice," Yu Shen said with a scowl. Moreover, he thought that if Bai Shengyi trained more, she could be a good combat force.
"Heh! You think I'm stupid?" Bai Shengyi sneered. She had seen shameless people, but never one so shameless.
They wanted to eat her meat, and they thought she should be grateful that they allowed her to travel with them?
"No sharing, get out of the way!" Bai Shengyi snorted coldly.
Jiang Ruomei was about to say something when she saw Bai Shengyi lift the Gulu beast with one hand!
One hand!
Jiang Ruomei's eyes shifted. She turned to Bai Sicheng and said, "Brother Sicheng, let Bai Shengyi travel with us. She's alone, it's so dangerous."
"Exactly, we're not after her meat. Does she really need to be so defensive?" one of the other three boys added.
Bai Sicheng was still immersed in the joy that Bai Shengyi was not a waste. Hearing their words, he nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, Ayi, just travel with us. Big Brother can look after you."
"You can't even feed yourselves, what can you look after me with?" Bai Shengyi said impolitely.
Bai Sicheng's face flushed slightly, "But..."
"No 'buts'!" Bai Shengyi found this indecisiveness annoying.
She thought for a moment, put down the Gulu beast, took out a dagger, covered it with spiritual energy, and in a few strokes, cut off one of its hind legs, stuffing it into Bai Sicheng's hand.
"Here, don't nag me anymore!"
Bai Sicheng opened his mouth, "Ayi, I wasn't doing this for that."
He was truly worried about her, wanting to protect her. Why wouldn't she listen?
Bai Shengyi didn't want to stay here any longer. She gave Bai Sicheng the meat because he was her elder brother. As for the others...
Bai Shengyi said coldly to Jiang Ruomei, who was still blocking the road, "If you don't move, I'll use force!"
Jiang Ruomei frowned, her face full of grievance, and moved aside, "Bai Shengyi, you won't have friends like this. You're too heartless."
"I wouldn't dare to have friends like you," Bai Shengyi scoffed and left.
Her mind was so twisted, like a cork. She didn't know how Bai Sicheng ended up with someone like her.
Jiang Ruomei felt very wronged. Looking at Bai Shengyi's retreating back, she pouted, "Brother Sicheng, Yu Shen, are we just going to let her leave like this?"
Yu Shen snorted, "It's best if she leaves, so she doesn't slow us down!"
Jiang Ruomei: "Not at all, I think Bai Shengyi is very capable. Brother Sicheng, what do you think?"
Bai Sicheng was still lost in thought, holding the hind leg. Bai Shengyi's attitude and behavior just now made him feel extremely uncomfortable. She was too distant and formal, not like siblings at all, but more like strangers.
Did something happen in the mansion again?
Seeing that Bai Sicheng was ignoring her, Jiang Ruomei's eyes moved. She stepped forward, took Bai Sicheng's hand, and pleaded, "Brother Sicheng, I'm hungry. Let's quickly start a fire and roast some meat!"
"Ah? Okay, okay, I'll roast it now..." Bai Sicheng came back to his senses and nodded.
...
Bai Shengyi didn't walk far before she ran out of strength. She threw the Gulu beast on the ground and collapsed, "Sigh! I knew I should have cut off more and thrown it to Bai Sicheng. It's too heavy!"
"Then why don't you share some with me?"
"Who!" Bai Shengyi was so startled that she sprang to her feet like a carp.
She vigilantly looked towards the source of the sound, directly using her mental power to locate where the other party was hiding.
However, as soon as her mental power spread out, she heard the other party's confused voice: "Huh? What is this..."
Bai Shengyi's sense of crisis immediately surged. Hearing the other party's words, could they sense her mental power fluctuations?
How was that possible! Qin Si hadn't even detected her mental power!
But no matter what, just in case, she quickly withdrew her mental power.
Fortunately, her spiritual power projection was already very skilled, and she quickly switched her mental power to spiritual power.
Covering the dagger with spiritual power, Bai Shengyi tentatively spoke, "Friend, I can share some meat with you, but what will you exchange for it?"
Life was important, and money was also important. She had to refuse to give it for free!
"Can spiritual herbs do? I only have this with me, *wu*." The other party's voice lowered, buzzing with a hint of a baby's voice.
Bai Shengyi found it strange. Was it a child? But what kind of child was so perceptive?
"Of course," Bai Shengyi's voice was gentle and friendly, as if she wasn't the one who had just cursed.
"Then I'll trade you four-tier Flying Cloud Grass."
Bai Shengyi was startled. Trading a four-tier herb right off the bat?
It seemed the other party was either very strong or had deep reserves.
Bai Shengyi leaned towards the former, so her tone became even gentler and more harmless, "Yes, I'll give you half. Do you need me to help you roast it, or will you do it yourself?"
"Roast? You mean like roasting meat? I want to eat roasted meat, *aowu*!" The other party was a little excited, their baby voice trembling.
Bai Shengyi's heart stirred, and she didn't ask further. Instead, she efficiently processed the Gulu beast and started a fire to roast the meat.
At this moment, she especially envied cultivators with fire spiritual roots. It would be so convenient to roast meat outdoors!
Unfortunately, she wasn't one.
Bai Shengyi sighed softly and quickly flipped the roasting meat, sprinkling it with her special spices.
She was someone who wouldn't mistreat her taste buds. Even in a Federation where food culture had been severed, she could still make delicious food. For something like roasted meat, she was completely at ease and skilled.
Before long, a rich and fragrant aroma of meat wafted through the air.
"Wuwa! So fragrant!"
Bai Shengyi heard rustling sounds from where the voice came from. She calmly increased the heat of the fire, and the roasted aroma of the meat, accompanied by the sizzling sound, immediately spread out.
"Friend, the meat is ready. Can you come out and get it?" Bai Shengyi said very 'naturally,' while actually being on full alert.
However, the other party said with grievance, "I can't come out. Can you bring it to me?"
Bai Shengyi was about to refuse, but then she thought that it might be bad to anger the other party. So, she took the roasted meat and walked step by step towards the source of the sound.
"Then I'll be coming over, okay?" Bai Shengyi retracted her imposing aura, appearing completely non-threatening.
"Come, come, I'll open the door for you, *wu*." The other party seemed to have no guard at all and wasn't worried about Bai Shengyi, their baby voice sounding a bit naive.
Bai Shengyi, however, dared not be careless. She carefully covered her eyes with her mental power, taking in her surroundings, and her vigilance was at its peak.
"Wuwa, hurry up, this meat smells so good, I want to eat meat." The other party seemed impatient with Bai Shengyi's slowness and urged her on.
Bai Shengyi smiled, "Coming right up."
