Chapter 13 Abandoned_1

Wen Wanwan, being a girl, swearing wasn't a big deal. But the other boys felt extremely uncomfortable; they had anger but nowhere to vent it. Things had already come to this point; they couldn't very well go off and curse at her as well—it would be pointless. Fortunately, she had the sense to quiet down; otherwise, they were truly afraid they might not be able to resist beating her up.

Cui Guangyu thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Since things have come to this, let's all eat something to fill our stomachs, and then continue looking for a way out."

Zhao Qing exclaimed, "Qinghe the beauty actually just walked away like that, really has personality. But, Boss Cui, we were just concerned with saving our skins earlier, our backpacks have been lost who knows where, and now we only have the bit of chocolate we carried with us, hardly enough to last until tomorrow."

Ouyang Chenxi also looked worried, "The forest at night is the most dangerous—if we can't find a way out before it gets dark, whether we can get through the night is still up in the air."

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. Fang Xiaoyang, who had just quieted down, suddenly opened her eyes wide and yelled, "What road are we looking for; are we really lost? What do we do now? If those two animals come back, won't we be doomed?"

Had this idiot only just realized? But they had no energy left to criticize her. The group ate their chocolate quickly, prepared to continue on their way, hoping to find a path before it grew dark. Tents and some essential items were all in their backpacks; they had to find a way out as soon as possible.

As Cui Guangyu and the others were worrying about their dear lives, the root cause of their predicament was leisurely using a wooden fork to... spear fish.

Aiming, Qinghe smiled faintly. With a splash, as the plump and tempting fish that had been frolicking by her feet instantaneously disappeared, Qinghe's previously rosy and radiant face turned a shade of green and a touch of black as well—was it seeking death?

She roughly grabbed the culprit that had scared away her dinner, who was still unwittingly swimming around, avoiding injuring Little Snow Wolf in the process, "You little thing, my dinner is gone because of you, off you go."

As she spoke, she casually threw the wet Xiaohe far away, then turned and decisively went to the bank to wait for her meal. Mistreating the wolf had clearly become her routine.

At that moment, the mistreated wolf elegantly surfaced, shook its head like a human, yawned a few times, and its shiny black nose twitched. Qinghe couldn't help but want to catch it and torment it once more.

Qinghe reflected deeply; why did she feel like she was becoming abnormal? She used to be kind, innocent, yet she ended up cruel and cold-hearted. She had personally ended the lives of over a hundred people without any emotion, even feeling pleased.

Now, was it because she was alone in this place without a soul in sight that she had become this unhinged? Sometimes she even went a little crazy; bullying Xiaohe was becoming an inexplicable source of joy.

She never used to be like this when she had pets in the past.

While Qinghe was deeply reflecting, her eyes suddenly lit up. Reflection be damned; having something to fill her stomach was of paramount importance right now.

Looking at the fish in Xiaohe's mouth, hmm, it was much fatter than the one she tried to catch earlier—not bad at all. Believed to be tender with fewer bones, she took the fish, gave Little Snow Wolf a scratch on the belly as a reward, and then, without further ado, went to gather firewood, ready to start a fire.

Smelling the fragrant roasted fish, she tore off a piece and handed it to Little Snow Wolf, who was acting coquettishly, giving her the pitiful eyes.

A girl and a wolf in perfect harmony; Qinghe squinted her eyes as she enjoyed the delicacy. This was made with seasonings she had just discovered. She took a bite, then fed a bite to Little Snow Wolf.

In fact, with her current abilities, hunting was not a problem at all. But Qinghe from her past life had already suffered the pain of being powerless and at the mercy of others, so how could she make the same mistakes in this precious second chance at life?

"When a man is guiltless, it is his treasure that invites trouble." If she had no skills of her own, even ten chances to start over wouldn't help her escape a tragic fate, not to mention that even one chance was one in ten million.

The era she found herself in now was not as advanced as her former life; technology was severely lacking, which meant that someone as rare and special as she was would undoubtedly be coveted for research down to the last piece.

She always knew she would eventually leave this serene forest, so she had been working hard all the time.

She didn't want to be useless aside from her Special Ability, without even the ability to protect herself. That's why she had been striving from the time she was an infant.

She was the first among children to learn to stand, walk, and then run. No matter how many times she fell, she kept trying. Only by being one step ahead and putting in extra effort could she improve herself.

After sixteen years of jungle life, with the memory of her past life, how could she possibly be content with mere eating, drinking, and merrymaking? She certainly kept busy, planning for the future. When real trouble arose, she believed she wouldn't be the same weak little girl who could be easily manipulated.

"We're fed and energized now, let's see how they're doing, little one," Qinghe said lazily, teasing Little Snow Wolf with a sly glint in her eye.

If Little Snow Wolf could talk at this moment, it would have certainly scorned this sly woman. It knew she wouldn't let those people off easily, thinking it might be kinder for them to become a wild beast's meal than to fall into this girl's hands.

Qinghe held her breath and concentrated as she observed the situation from afar, watching the group taking turns drinking from a cup. She shook her head in pity for them.

However, these people were not foolish; they knew enough to drink the water collected from the trees. Since it had rained yesterday and the forest was lush, getting a cup of water naturally wasn't difficult.

There was a bamboo grove nearby, and seeing them use bamboo to make cups for drinking, she silently praised them again. It seemed that these individuals weren't just pampered young masters; they must have some skills to embark on such an adventure.

Sigh, once full and quenched, one wants to sleep, eh? Then take a nap. She would wait for their most miserable moment to pass—that's when she could negotiate a better price. If she pushed herself on them now, they wouldn't care, but when they were again in dire straits, the price would surely change.

After years of cultivation, she had now learned to harness the wind of nature to reach her desired destination in an instant. Of course, there was a limit to the distance, but considering their current location, it was possible.

Back then, she had suffered because of this; she could sense someone coming, but by the time she arrived, it was already too late. Thus, she could only watch helplessly as the plane flew away.

Especially that exceptionally beautiful little boy, she still gritted her teeth in hatred when she thought of him. She turned out to be an unsung hero.

The world was unaware of her existence; they were probably living the high life by now. But she was still living like a savage here. What a failure! Since her rebirth, she had never experienced failure, but this major setback was hard to forget.
