"Oh~"

Ningbao instinctively tried to nod, but because her neck was being held, she couldn't nod.

She paused for three seconds, then asked very familiarly:

"Big brother, was that rabbit plush toy you gave to Ningbao?"

"Um."

Yu You answered succinctly.

In just a few breaths, he had already carried Ningbao back to the ground. The tree, of course, didn't stop him at all; it was more than happy for this ghostly creature to leave its roots as soon as possible.

Well, okay, although part of the reason is also because... it might not be able to beat this ghost.

The big tree is no match for him, but Ning Bao... of course, she can't beat him either. That's rare, isn't it? After all, the big tree is at the level of a chosen one, while Ning Bao couldn't beat Li Qinglan before.

Moreover, Ning Bao is not using her own body now, and she can't even use her best wooden sword anymore. Her combat power has been greatly weakened, and her best partner, Mu Mu, is not by her side. It's normal that she can't win.

However, Ningbao didn't intend to hit her. She was actually quite used to being lifted up for no reason. There was nothing she could do; she was mischievous as a child and was always being disciplined by her older sister, Fengyuan.

At the time, she was a human cub, and Feng Yuan was only lifting her by the back of her clothes. As long as the clothes were of good quality, there wouldn't be any problem. If he were lifting her by the collar, there was a risk of strangling Ning Bao to death.

But it doesn't matter, Ningbao isn't a human baby anymore.

"Big brother, big brother, the big tree said you've been here for a long time. So how did you give Ningbao the rabbit doll?"

"Big brother, big brother, that rabbit doll is so pretty! Did you sew it? You're so amazing! Mumu can sew dolls too, it's a super cute little snake doll!"

"Big brother, big brother, do you know where this is?"

"Big brother, big brother..."

"Shut up!"

Yu You's brow twitched from the noise; cubs really were a maddening creature!

Ningbao obediently covered her mouth with her two little paws:

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh~"

Yu You: ...

"And don't make a sound! Keep quiet!"

He kept repeating to himself, "This is my savior, this is my savior. I can't kill him, I can't kill him. He is a morally upright ghost."

Ningbao was so obedient that she immediately fell silent, though her round eyes darted around. Her curious little gaze seemed to have the power to see right through a ghost, making Yu You feel uncomfortable all over.

"What exactly do you want?"

Ning Bao remained silent, staring blankly at Yu You.

Yu You felt he was about to lose his composure. If he was a ghost, then the cub was a devil. He shouldn't have provoked such a creature as the cub.

Ningbao felt she had been very obedient; the older brother told her not to talk, and she hadn't uttered a single word, remaining perfectly quiet. Why was the older brother still angry?

Adults are so hard to understand.

"Alright, ask away, I'll answer you."

After staring at Ning Bao for about five minutes, Yu You was the first to give in, putting Ning Bao down on the ground and sitting cross-legged on the ground herself.

Saying he was sitting isn't quite accurate, because he was actually floating, about a centimeter off the ground.

As he asked the question, he took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands.

It's filthy. The cub is covered in dust, and the hand that just touched her is dirty too.

Of course Ning Bao was covered in dust. It took her more than an hour to cross that scorched earth, and she had even "swum" in the mud beforehand. With such thick fur on her body, it would be strange if she wasn't dirty.

So Ning Bao watched as Yu You took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and vigorously shook the fur on his body.

Sitting opposite her, Yu You suddenly had a bad feeling. He slowly and mechanically looked down and saw a mud spot on his snow-white clothes, about one millimeter in diameter and almost invisible to the naked eye.

Ahhh! ! !

He's not clean!

At this moment, Yu You was devastated. If Ning Bao had a large enough vocabulary, she would know of a word that could describe a devil like Yu You: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

A flawless version after careful inspection!

But Ningbao didn't know that in her short life, she had never met anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness. Of course, she knew she shouldn't get other people's clothes dirty, but with such tiny specks of mud that were barely visible to the naked eye, Ningbao herself didn't even realize she had soiled someone else's clothes.

After Ningbao finished shaking her hair, she sat up straight in the spot. She saw that the older brother opposite her had an extremely handsome face that was slightly distorted. He was gripping his right wrist tightly with his left hand, and the veins on his snow-white skin were clearly visible. His right hand was also trembling slightly.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Are you poisoned?"

In this situation, Ningbao's first reaction was that she had been poisoned and had lost control of her body.

She very generously took out a bottle of antidote pills and handed it to Yu You:

"Big brother, do you need me to put it in your mouth?"

What else? Of course, I'm trying my best to control myself and not slap you to death!

Yu You's face twisted even more as he watched Ning Bao try to feed him a pill with her dirty little paws. He uttered two words hastily, as if his mouth was on fire:

"Need not!"

"what?"

Ning Bao's movements stopped halfway.

She looked at the strange-looking older brother but didn't insist. After all, Mumu had taught her to respect other people's opinions. But this older brother was really hard to understand! (^^)

"Okay, big brother, Ningbao is going to ask a question now. You said you would answer Ningbao."

As soon as Yu You nodded, Ning Bao's little mouth started firing off all the previous questions again, like a machine gun, making Yu You's head start to throb again.

The cubs are indeed devils; thankfully, the demon race doesn't have the concept of cubs.

"The one who came to you before was an avatar of mine. Why couldn't he speak? Because he was an avatar of mine!"

Why can't the clone speak? It just can't, there's no "why" or "why" about it. Don't interrupt!

Ningbao was scolded again, and she silently covered her mouth with her little paws. What's wrong with this big brother? Is he going through menopause? Why can't I ask why? Ningbao keeps asking Mumu the same questions, and Mumu never scolds Ningbao.

Ugh~

Yu You paused, calming the anger rising in her chest. What kind of creature raises its young? Doesn't it drive you crazy?

"I didn't make that doll; I found it in a secret realm. Its function is to open the path to this place. I gave it to you as a gamble, to see if it could help me get rescued."
