When Bai Di heard what Huanhuan had to say, there was a short silence.

As if he had made up his mind, he said to Xue Ling, “I’ll save Xuan Wei. Stay here and protect Huanhuan and Xue Hui.”

Xue Ling frowned. “It’s too dangerous for you to be alone. I’ll go with you.”

Huanhuan quickly echoed, “The three of you can go. The chances of winning will be higher.”

If not for the fact that she was too weak and afraid of becoming a burden, she would have followed them to save them.

Bai Di disagreed. “If we all leave, what will happen to you?”

“I’ll be fine alone,” Huanhuan promised solemnly. “Little Green and Little Lotus will protect me. If worse comes to worst, I still have a secret method to protect myself. There won’t be a problem.”

Bai Di was still worried about leaving her alone. He insisted on leaving someone behind to protect her.

Huanhuan patted her chest and said, “I could even survive the demon king. You can rest assured about my ability to survive. If you’re really worried, find Xuan Wei as soon as possible and come back to me.”

After Huanhuan’s repeated insistence and the fact that this trip was indeed extremely dangerous, Bai Di finally accepted her suggestion.

Bai Di checked the area again. After confirming that there was no danger, he left with the two feather beasts and headed to the City of 10,000 Beasts.

When everyone was gone, Huanhuan was alone.

She sat on a rock by the stream, picked up a stone, and threw it into the stream. “Little Brat, they’ll be safe on this trip, right?”

The system said, “If you want to know the outcome, you can use the prediction mask to look at the future.”

“Can the prediction mask see the future I want to see? Didn’t you say that the future the prediction mask sees is at random?”

“It’s random, but maybe you’ll get lucky and see the future you want to see?”

Huanhuan thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I’m not going to use it.”

“Why?”

“I’m unlucky. What if I see something I shouldn’t? I’ll scare myself again. Why bother?”

Huanhuan always remembered the last time she saw herself being killed. That scene was too real. Even now, when she thought about it, she still had a lingering fear.

It was enough to have experienced such a horror once. She didn’t want it to happen again.

Taking a step back, even if she was lucky enough to see the outcome of this rescue operation, what if it turned out to be a tragedy?

Wouldn’t she cry herself to death?!

It was better not to look. At least she could still hope.

The system said, “They’ll definitely be fine.”

Huanhuan sighed. “Thank you for your comfort.”

The sun gradually set, and night enveloped the forest. The air began to turn cold.

Huanhuan lit a fire, took out a blanket, wrapped herself in it, and exhaled hot air into her hands.

The system asked, “Do you want to watch something to pass the time?”

“Do you still want to watch Pleasant Goat and Big, Big Wolf?”

“No, let’s watch a movie about vampires this time.”

At the mention of vampires, Huanhuan thought of the super handsome men from Twilight, so she quickly nodded. “Okay, let’s watch!”

In the end, what the system played for her was not a beautiful romance fantasy movie where handsome men and beautiful women fell in love. Instead, it was an out-and-out horror movie!

The vampires in the movies were each more terrifying than the other! Their sharp fangs and ferocious faces could scare people to death!

Huanhuan trembled in fear halfway through, but she couldn’t help but want to see if the main character was killed in the end. She curled up into a ball and continued to look down while trembling.

She was just causing trouble for herself.

It was not easy to watch the entire movie. Huanhuan’s mind was still filled with the ferocious appearance of the protagonist before he died. He was covered in blood and was screaming crazily.

She huddled in the blanket, looking apprehensive and restless.

When she saw the stream, she couldn’t help but imagine a vampire hiding in it. When she saw the forest, she couldn’t help but imagine the vampire suddenly rushing out of the forest and biting her neck…

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became!

Huanhuan was especially angry. “Little Brat, you’re too much. You deliberately used a horror movie to scare me!”

The system said, “Don’t be afraid. Daddy will protect you.”

“You can’t turn into a person for me to rely on. You can’t protect me at all. Boo-hoo!”

“Silly girl, I want to become human too, but I’m weak. Every time I become human, I have to rest for a long time. If that happens, I won’t be able to chat with you.”

Huanhuan snorted. “Then quickly think of a way to help me forget about those vampires in my head.”

“Why don’t… we continue watching Pleasant Goat and Big, Big Wolf?”

Huanhuan thought about it but couldn’t think of a better idea, so she nodded. “Alright.”

Hence, the two of them watched Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf for the entire night.

It was not until the next day that Huanhuan got the ending song out of her mind.

She shook her confused head like a fool and was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses.

It was dawn.

Huanhuan climbed onto a large rock and stood on tiptoes to crane her neck. She still didn’t see Bai Di and the others.

It had been a whole night. Why weren’t they back yet?

Huanhuan became more and more worried. Even when the system invited her to watch cartoons again, she was not in the mood to watch them. She directly refused.

Just as she was pacing anxiously, Bai Di and the others finally returned!

The white tiger carried Xuan Wei on its back. Xue Ling and Xue Hui landed on the ground, retracted their wings, and helped lift Xuan Wei to the ground.

Huanhuan walked over quickly.

Xuan Wei was already unconscious. The metal armor on his body was in pieces, but the metal mask on his face was still intact. The posture of his limbs was obviously abnormal. Coupled with the blood stains on his body, he looked especially miserable.

Xue Hui said with a pained expression, “I’ve checked. The wounds on his body aren’t fatal, but he’s lost too much blood and all his bones are broken. I can only help him stop the pain, but I can’t treat him.”

Huanhuan squatted down and carefully checked the wounds on Xuan Wei’s body.

Most of them were whip wounds. Some were burn wounds left by torture tools. His skin was torn, and his flesh was mangled.

It was obvious from these scars that he had experienced a very terrifying punishment.

The people from the temple had tried to beat him to death. They had no intention of letting him live.

Huanhuan glanced at Bai Di. “I can save him.”

However, if she made a move, she would definitely expose the secret that her flesh and blood could cure all illnesses.

Bai Di said nothing. He was worried about Xuan Wei’s safety, but he didn’t want to expose Huanhuan’s secret.

Xue Ling said, “Save him.”

Still, Bai Di said nothing.

Huanhuan knew that he was still hesitating. She said, “Xuan Wei is your brother. He’s also my savior. Logically speaking, we have to save him.”

Xue Hui seemed to understand.

In the end, Bai Di chose to save him.

As Huanhuan had said, if they didn’t save him, they would never get over this hurdle.
