Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 69 Pei Yu Alone
This is also part of the strategy.

Wen Li told herself this, smiled at Zhu Yan, and took a bite of the shrimp meat he offered.

"Thank you."

Her soft tongue accidentally licked Zhu Yan's rough fingertips.

Zhu Yan's pupils dilated, and his heart skipped a beat.

The subtle sensation lingered on her fingertips. Zhu Yan hurriedly withdrew her hand, unusually avoiding her smiling gaze.

Wen Li chewed the shrimp meat in her mouth. Zhu Yan even dipped it in sauce for her. It was delicious.

After swallowing, Wen Li saw that Zhu Yan did not make any further moves, and she felt a little relieved.

Being fed in front of so many people always felt a little strange to her.

Fortunately, Zhu Yan only did it once.

Seeing that Wen Li had piled up enough shrimp, Xin Yuan finally stopped.

This meal was truly difficult for Wen Li to eat.

Perhaps because her appearance has changed so much, the eyes of the people at the table kept falling on her, scrutinizing her inquisitively.

Wen Li could only try to ignore it and quietly eat her meal.

She finished eating quickly and got up to go back to her room.

As a chef, Wen Li didn't need to wash dishes, so she went straight back to her cave.

"Take your time eating."

After Wen Li left, the group ate much faster, and within five minutes, the dishes on the table were gone.

So you were deliberately dawdling just now.

After the meal, Shen Yihe and Pei Yu were about to leave, as usual.

Zhu Yan suddenly called out to Pei Yu.

"Pei Yu, do you want to switch places with me tomorrow?" Zhu Yan asked.

According to the order, it will be Pei Yu's turn to protect Wen Li tomorrow.

Pei Yu tilted her head to look at him, a dark glint flashing in her purple eyes.

"No." He uttered those two words with a smile.

After saying that, Pei Yu ignored Zhu Yan's changing expression and said, "I'm going back now."

He and Shen Yihe disappeared.

Zhu Yan frowned, turned around and went back to his cave.

He thought to himself: Pei Yu really did have wicked thoughts too.

The next day, Wen Li woke up very early.

However, the others woke up earlier than her and had already left.

Breakfast is ready.

When Wen Li came out of the cave, she saw Pei Yu cleaning the front yard.

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was Pei Yu today.

Pei Yu heard the footsteps and noticed her.

"You're awake," Pei Yu greeted him.

"Good morning," Wen Li said.

She went to the well to wash up first, and while she was washing her face, Pei Yu had already brought out her breakfast.

"I made soup today," Pei Yu said.

"Thank you." Wen Li sat down at the stone table.

Her attitude towards Pei Yu was somewhat distant.

This was the second time she had been alone with Pei Yu; the first time was when they were eating pickled fish.

We spent a short time together during this period.

After observing him, Wen Li realized that Pei Yu's personality was not as aloof as it seemed when they first met. On the contrary, he was easy to talk to and even quite playful.

When he comes back from hunting, he usually brings back some strange sticks or stones.

Wen Li also asked Xin Yuan, who said that Pei Yu had a penchant for collecting these things.

He's a very individualistic person.

Wen Li picked up a spoon and tasted the vegetable soup. Hmm... Bai Yanci is cooking today.

A dark figure descended in front of her. Wen Li looked up and saw that Pei Yu had already sat down opposite her.

Pei Yu was still holding the wooden broom that Wen Li had made, and was idly tapping it on the floor.

He rested his chin on his free hand, his purple eyes fixed intently on Wen Li.

Wen Li met his gaze and asked, "Do you want some?"

Pei Yu shook her head, "I've already eaten."

Wen Li: "Oh."

Seeing him staring at her bowl, she thought he wanted to eat too.

Wen Li continued to eat her breakfast with her head down.

Pei Yu asked, "What are you planning to do later?"

Wen Li swallowed the potato in her mouth and shook her head, "I haven't decided yet."

Pei Yu's expression fell for a moment. "You're not planning to stay at home forever, are you?"

Wen Li thought about it seriously and said, "It's not impossible."

Pei Yu's face fell even more. "Isn't that boring?"

"It's alright, I don't find it boring," Wen Li said with a smile.

Pei Yu pursed her lips.

Wen Li asked, amused, "Do you want to go out and play?"

Pei Yu's purple eyes flickered as she denied it, saying, "It's not that I want to go out and play, it's just that I feel bored staying here all the time."

“That’s true.” Wen Li nodded.

Pei Yu's eyes lit up slightly when she heard what she said.

Wen Li said, "If you feel bored, you can go out and have some fun by yourself."

Pei Yu frowned. "How can I go out by myself? My task today is to take care of you."

He hadn't forgotten the mission he had for being here today.

Wen Li found his behavior ridiculous.

He didn't say anything more and continued to drink his soup with his head down.

Pei Yu probably found it boring and went back to the courtyard to continue sweeping.

After seeing that Wen Li had finished eating, he came over again and said, "Give me the bowl."

"What are you going to use it for?" Wen Li asked, handing the bowl over with a puzzled look.

Pei Yu: "...Wash it."

Wen Li noticed a hint of speechlessness in his expression and awkwardly shut her mouth.

However, she didn't expect that Pei Yu would actually offer to wash the dishes.

Pei Yu quickly came out of the small kitchen, and listlessly took a wooden broom and walked around the front yard.

He had swept a pile of dead leaves in the yard and gathered them in a corner; these dead leaves could be kept to start a fire.

Wen Li walked towards the cave.

Seeing this, Pei Yu asked, "Where are you going?"

Wen Li said, "Go to sleep."

Pei Yu: "..."

Watching Wen Li disappear into the cave, Pei Yu silently pounded the ground with his broom, filled with regret.

If he had known today would be this boring, he should have switched places with Zhu Yan yesterday.

Making him stay here all day doing nothing is worse than killing him.

Pei Yu sighed several times on the spot.

Then he walked out of the courtyard.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well clean the outside as well.

He had just stepped out of the courtyard when Wen Li, who had changed her clothes, emerged from the cave.

These past two days, she made some simple alterations to her animal skin skirt, turning it into more durable and sturdy animal skin shorts.

Telling Pei Yu that he was going to sleep was just to tease her; she already had a plan for what to do today.

Wen Li changed into animal skin pants, put on an insect-repelling sachet, applied medicine to her exposed skin, and tied her hair into a high ponytail, fully armed.

According to her plan, she intends to collect herbs today to prepare for winter, and if she has enough time, she also wants to catch some shrimp.

As for weapons and insect repellent, Wen Li had already put them in her spatial storage.

The more favor she gains, the larger her space will become.

Her space is now as big as a basketball court.

As for the winter food that Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan asked her to keep, it's all currently stored in her space.

The space has a preservation effect, and it's spacious enough to keep food safer.

Wen Li didn't see Pei Yu in the courtyard, and a sense of doubt arose in her heart. But soon, she saw the familiar short silver hair swaying back and forth outside the wooden wall.

Pei Yu's short silver hair was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, as if it were shining.

Wen Li opened the wooden door and looked outside, where she saw Pei Yu obediently sweeping the floor.

"Pei Yu, stop sweeping."

Upon hearing her words, Pei Yu looked up and asked, "What is it?"

Wen Li said, "Let's go out and get to work."

Pei Yu's eyes lit up, and he threw the broom into the yard and walked over in a few steps.

"What are you going to do?" Pei Yu asked.

"Get some herbs, will you come with me?" Wen Li asked.

Pei Yu nodded hastily, "Let's go!"

The two locked the courtyard gate, and then Wen Li led Pei Yu away.

The herb she's collecting this time is called Yancao, which has the effect of dispelling cold. With this herb, she can make soup in winter to prevent colds and chills.

Wen Li was bored last night and flipped through a medical guide, only to discover that such a thing existed and that it grew near the tribe.

We need to prepare more!
Wen Li opened a map in her mind and led the way.

Although this herb has the effect of dispelling cold, its growing location is very strange, contrary to its medicinal effects, as it mostly grows in damp environments.

The two were heading into the dampest part of the primeval forest.

Pei Yu followed behind her, frowning. "It's dangerous here."

Pei Yu offered a reminder.

Wen Li nodded. "I know, you should be able to protect me, right?"

Pei Yu answered readily, "Of course."

Wen Li smiled, took out a ball of insect-repelling grass from her bag and handed it to him, "There are a lot of bugs inside, you can take this with you."

"Oh, thank you." Pei Yu reached out and took the bundle of grass, tying it around her waist.

The deeper you go, the more snakes and insects you encounter, and the stronger the damp smell in the air becomes.

As a giant python crawled across the branches beside her, Wen Li got goosebumps and gradually began to consider retreating.

Although the insects didn't crawl onto her, there were still far too many of them!

She, a modern person, had never seen so many insects before.

There were snakes, centipedes, and some unknown reptiles wriggling around.

“Pei, Pei Yu…”

Wen Li turned her head, trembling. Pei Yu remained calm. "What's wrong?"

Seeing Wen Li's pale face, she said, "Are you scared? It's okay, they won't bite you."

The two carried bundles of insect-repelling herbs, so ordinary insects wouldn't dare to come into contact with them.

Wen Li swallowed hard. "Aren't you afraid?"

She overestimated herself; seeing these bugs made her sanity plummet.

Pei Yu said casually, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm used to it. There's plenty of food in the back mountain."

There were many more strange things in the back mountains than these, and he had long been used to them.

Pei Yu said, "If you're scared, you should go back first."

Wen Li was moved by his words.

But after glancing at the map again, they realized they had already reached the vicinity of Yancao City.

We're already here, and we were so close to picking them, it would be such a waste to leave now.

Wen Li's initial intention to back down was gradually replaced by "since we're already here," and she gritted her teeth and said, "We'll be there soon, let's finish picking them before we go back."

She gritted her teeth and walked forward for a while. There were noticeably fewer insects and snakes here, and Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The map shows that the Flame Grass is located within this area.

Although the exact location is not shown, the map outlines a red area.

Wen Li said, "It's nearby. Could you help me look for it? It's a kind of red grass."

“Okay.” Pei Yu’s voice rang out from behind.

The two searched for a while but couldn't find the so-called Flame Grass.

Just as Wen Li began to doubt whether the map was wrong, Pei Yu, who was searching nearby, suddenly disappeared from her sight.

Wen Li's eyes widened suddenly: "Pei Yu!!"

Wen Li ran over quickly, and the next second, she understood why Pei Yu had suddenly disappeared.

because!

There's a hole here!
Wen Li lost her footing and felt a strong sense of unease from the weightlessness, so much so that she couldn't help but scream.

"what!"

He tumbled and scrambled down from above, and after a while, he finally stopped.

Wen Li lay on the ground, her eyes unfocused.

She didn't know exactly how high it was, but she felt like she had been rolling for a long time and her body was about to fall apart.

"How unlucky," Wen Li thought to herself.

The surroundings were dim, with the faint sound of flowing water passing by. Wen Li's unfocused pupils focused, realizing that this seemed to be a cave.

Suddenly, a beautiful face appeared in her line of sight.

Wen Li was startled and instinctively jumped up.

This time, he bumped into Pei Yu squarely.

He clutched his chin in pain, tears welling in his eyes, staring at Wen Li for a long time, unable to speak.

Wen Li also heard that loud "click" just now.

Realizing what she had done to Pei Yu, she gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm sorry."

Pei Yu covered her chin, and it took her a while to recover, but the moisture in her eyes had not yet faded.

He asked in a muffled voice, "Are you alright?"

Wen Li rubbed her arm, feeling aches all over her body.

She stubbornly insisted, "It's alright. Where have we ended up?"

Pei Yu explained, "It looks like a cave. Look, there's that red grass you mentioned. Is that what you're looking for?"

Wen Li looked in the direction Pei Yu pointed, and her eyes lit up.

There is always a way out!

It really is Flame Grass.

Ignoring her own pain, Wen Li said to Pei Yu, "Yes, yes, that's right, pick them all for me."

No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long; it turns out the Flame Grass grows underneath.

There were many Flame Grasses growing here, and it took Wen Li and Pei Yu some time to pick them all.

After tidying up the abundant Flame Grass, Wen Li was completely satisfied.

However, the problems didn't end there.

"How do we get out?" Wen Li asked.

This looks like a closed cave.

Pei Yu looked at the stream on the ground. "Simple, just follow the water source."

Wen Li vaguely felt that it was hasty, but it seemed that there was no other way.

She and Pei Yu followed the water source all the way.

Surprisingly, we actually saw an exit.

Stepping out of the dark cave, you'll find yourself in a meadow covered with countless white flowers.

They didn't know where they had arrived, but the scenery here was beautiful, a paradise compared to the reptile-infested forest they had just left.

After leaving the cave, the two found a place to rest.

Wen Li asked, "Are you hungry?"

She had prepared some rice balls and kept them in her space so she could take them out to eat anytime.

Pei Yu tilted her head and looked at her. "I'm fine. Are you hungry?"

Wen Li was indeed hungry after expending so much energy. She took out two rice balls from her bag and handed one to Pei Yu.

"For you to eat."

"Thank you."

Pei Yu smiled at her, the bright red scratches on her face giving her a battle-worn beauty.

"Your face is injured, let me treat it for you."

After saying that, Wen Li used her special ability.

Pei Yu felt a cool touch on his face. He lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

Wen Li said, "Alright."

Wen Li withdrew her hand, preparing to continue eating the rice ball, when suddenly, Pei Yu grabbed her hand and gently pressed his lips to hers.

Wen Li: ?
