The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 941 - 917: Bamboo Grove

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened and arranged for Gu Xin and his sister to stay in the living room, making beds on the floor.

After all, there was a stove in the living room, and since this was a wooden cottage, sleeping on the floor wouldn’t be too cold.

Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t neglect them; she gave them blankets and even offered some clothes to Gu Xin and his sister.

The clothes for his sister were actually some small clothes left behind by her own children, which she had kept in storage, never expecting they could be of use now.

The entire cottage was warm as spring, much warmer than outside, thanks to Wu Yang, as Wu Yang wanted to showcase his abilities.

The task of chopping firewood was completely handed over to him.

He climbed the mountain effortlessly; a fireball would instantly melt the snow on the road.

Of course, his abilities couldn’t last long, as Wu Yang had just awakened his powers and still needed to absorb more Dragon Crystals to enhance them.

Wu Yang and Xiao Yue made a great team, one with ice, the other with fire.

Xiao Yue’s ice sword could directly split trees into firewood, but first, Wu Yang would burn the tree down.

With their cooperation, firewood was never a problem, so the fire in the cottage was always burning continuously.

Tonight’s dinner was quite sumptuous because Wu Yang and Xiao Yue caught two wild rabbits in the mountains.

These wild rabbits weren’t just plump; they were extraordinarily large.

One rabbit weighed at least a dozen pounds, indicating how heavy it was. Even Jiang Xiaoxiao’s mouth watered, as she didn’t have any meat stored in her space.

For dinner, they cooked a large pot of white rice and braised rabbit meat.

Plus, they stewed a pot with potatoes from Jiang Xiaoxiao’s space, making braised potato rabbit meat.

They also made tomato scrambled eggs and spicy pickled cabbage, making three dishes in total, with generous servings.

The aroma spread far and wide.

Gu Xin was stunned while holding his bowl, as he had never eaten such a lavish meal.

Even when his parents were around, they couldn’t eat like this, let alone in their village where few families could have such meals.

Even the village chief’s family, with men going into the mountains to hunt, wouldn’t dare to eat and drink so boldly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed Gu Xin not moving his chopsticks, "Eat quickly. You need to be full to take care of your sister."

Wu Yang picked up a large piece of meat for Gu Xin, "Eat up! You’re as skinny as a monkey. How did you even survive!"

Gu Xin bit into the meat in his bowl, cautiously observing the others.

Tears quietly rolled down his face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t say much. This child had experienced all the warmth and coldness in humanity in this village and would learn how to live on his own someday.

However, that wasn’t her concern; she had more important things to do.

The next day, seven people climbed the mountain together: their group of five, along with Gu Xin and his sister.

Before leaving, they made sure his sister had eaten and drunk to her fill, dressed warmly, and even wore a small hat. The little one was dozing comfortably on her brother’s warm back.

In truth, it wouldn’t matter if Gu Xin didn’t go up the mountain, as he had no combat abilities. They worried that if he encountered the dangerous creatures, it might cost him his life.

But Gu Xin insisted on going. For him, a promise is a promise.

He had agreed to lead them up the mountain to find the Nothing Flower. They indeed protected him and his sister, provided food and warmth, and even treated his sister’s illness. He wasn’t blind.

Since their sister finished that bowl of medicine yesterday, she was much better today.

Lying there, it was obvious to see her little bulging belly had reduced significantly.

Moreover, the bluish tint on her face had faded a lot. Usually, she would cry and fuss at night, unwilling to sleep. The longest sleep she had ever had was three hours.

But last night, she slept until morning, and along with her, Gu Xin got a comfortable sleep too.

After a good sleep, he was full of energy in the morning. If he didn’t realize that they had given his sister excellent medicine, it would be incredible. Being graced with their kindness, he wasn’t ungrateful.

He didn’t want to be ungrateful, like those his parents talked about. He wouldn’t learn from people like Village Chief Gu and them.

His parents always taught him to be honest and do practical work, to keep promises, and be a trustworthy and courteous person.

This led to this seven-person expedition.

Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly reminded Xiao Yue to look out for the siblings.

Once they reached the mountain, she might be too busy to care for them. However, not protecting them at all would disturb her conscience if they got hurt.

Wu Yang cleared the path with his flames, not even needing to shovel snow.

Wu Yang truly lived up to the effect of absorbing three Dragon Crystals; he had the highest talent among the four of them.

Having absorbed the most Dragon Crystals, it was unclear what level his abilities had reached.

However, the duration and intensity of his flames were increasing.

For instance, as they ascended the mountain, a single flame would open up a path, melting the snow and revealing bare ground.

He still needed time to control his abilities.

With Wu Yang as their snow plow, their ascent was much quicker.

They effortlessly reached the bamboo forest on the mountain.

Gu Xin shivered, a fear ingrained in his bones.

This fear of the bamboo forest was innate.

Parents had always instilled in them that this bamboo forest was a forbidden zone.

Because the most terrifying creatures, the dangerous creatures, lived in the forest. He had seen villagers with missing limbs and terrifying scars, said to be the dangerous creatures’ doing.

Their venom was said to be alarmingly potent.

It had a corrosive nature that boggled the mind.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the bamboo forest, the lush green bamboo appearing refreshing. Even after heavy snow, the forest remained vibrant and uplifting.

However, something strange was noticeable—a faint fragrance wafted from deeper within the forest after a few steps.

This subtle fragrance was hard to detect without careful sniffing, but once smelled, it stirred a powerful impulse from within.

It seemed like an attraction from deep within the soul, drawing you to the depths of the bamboo forest.

Jiang Xiaoxiao started forward, step by step.

Gu Xin hurriedly said, "Be careful, brother and sister. The dangerous creatures here have potent venom. They only have one attack method: spraying venom. After they spray once, they’re as harmless as toothless tigers, without any attack power."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. When they reached the edge of the forest, she took a bottle of pills out of her pocket, giving each person one.

Her space-provided items had to be tested against the dangerous creatures’ venom, to see if the Peach Pills could outmatch the venom.
