Book 1: Winds Begin to Blow in Tai Yuan

Chapter 8 - Master Yuanbao1

Meng Fuyao almost spat out the unsed remnants of the

herbs in her mouth

You're very cold

This was early autumn weather in the southern mountains,

although the as strong but it was far fro

cold; that was not even e pile of fire!

Only an idiot would believe you were actually cold

The guy in front was crouched high up on the branch end,

idly holding his cheeks, his eyes sweeping on her body here, and there, and

back again; e in the ”most primitiveFuyao retreated further from the fire

pit yet again

Even though this person's bearing looked honorable and

refined, not like a rapist's covetous wretchedness, in this world, who knew if

underneath a good appearance lies hidden a treacherous heart? Kind of likePei Yuan

Her dark pupils were covered in bright streaks of light from

the fire's gloatching the man with an expression of alertness Dense

eyelashes lightly blinked, for dark shadows on her pale white face andherself for a

fight

The man opposite looked at her with interest, then said,

”Girl, are you cold?”

Very good, everything was going exactly according to the

pre-established script

Meng Fuyao was unwilling to follow along While her butt

continued to scoot backwards, she rebelliously refuted, ”So hot”

With a slight sreeable appearance,

the guy casually replied, ”Then just take off your clothes”

Meng Fuyao, who had already shi+fted about a zhang away,

suddenly shot up like a leaping wolf, with one flip already planning on

escaping onto a small cliff nearby

Theher flee, only

unconcernedly sht smirk

Following his motion, the lapels of his robes parted a hair,

and a fire red fruit ca out

The eyes of Meng Fuyao as still in the process of

so immediately lit up

This, this this heated blaze of color yet cool and

refreshi+ng scent, could it be the holy fruit of wound healing, the ”Red

Qilin”?3

The fruit ”gu lu lu” tumbled over, clearly seen by

the currently heels-over-head Meng Fuyao Sure enough, it was the special fruit

only found up in the snowyto rumors,

this thing only grew in the relacial mountains, with commoners

unable to obtain it at all

With a ”peng” sound, Meng Fuyao only

half-co the floor

The instant after falling down she scrambled up, one foot

fir side - it seemed that

he was not going to object? Only then did she hurriedly shoot out a hand to

grab the fruit

”Xiu!”

A white light flashed in front of her eyes, as fast as

lightning, and a small ball of noisy air swiftly blew over, directly s

against Meng Fuyao's hand Meng Fuyao let out an exclamation, with an ”yi

ya” sound loosening her hand That white light soared upwards and, with amovement, fiercely kicked on her

nose

Following that another soracefully executed

with four claws facing the sky, straightforwardly welco the fruit that had

just fallen fro sound, the fruit was

wrapped in a full-body hug

The entire process happened in only a split second; Meng

Fuyao only sensed a gust of wind, a pain on her nose, and a light fruity smell,

before the wound-curing miracle fruit had switched places

Dumbfounded she lifted her hand and rubbed her nose, from

the tip of her nose plucking a finger-length strand of white hair - what in the

world was this thing?

Her eyes sluggishly looked over on the ground A bundle of

powdery white was currently tiptoeing on its little claws, s that

piece of red fruit in its pal the fruit back to its

owner With one leg extended backwards, it unexpectedly was perfectly posing in

a classic ballet posture

Meng Fuyao stared at the pal - a rabbit?

Smaller than a rabbit, a squirrel? Yet it hiter than a squirrel, a guinea

pig? It was even fatter than regular guinea pigs, having bright, crafty black

eyes and long, beautiful snohite fur It was so chubby that one couldn't

discern out parts of its figure, practically a real-life Hamtaro4;

if put in her previous world, this cute little creature would be certain to

incite high-pitched squeals from pet-lovers

However, wasn't it a little too nefarious and fierce when it

was stealing things?

Feeling Meng Fuyao's vision on it, the guinea pig instantly

swiveled its head, baring its teeth towards her direction Under the fire

light, those large front teeth shone like a pair of knives

Being pinned by that threatening stare, Meng Fuyao couldn't

help but feel a bit infuriated Recently it seemed she had been on a luckless

streak, being betrayed then tortured then pushed off a cliff, and now even a

fat rodent was looking down on her After getting to such a low point, she only

felt extremely depressed

In herFuyao pulled up the corner of herher teeth towards that fat rodent - if we compare size, my

teeth are larger than yours!

In front of the camp fire, a person and a rodent confronted

each other, showing their teeth and eyeing each other ers

With a ”puu” sound, the man opposite who

previously looked over with a touch of humor in his expression finally couldn't

hold back a short laugh He looked at Meng Fuyao with some consideration, then

stretched a hand out to that little thing and beckoned saying,

”Yuanbao”
