624 Prefer Boys Over Girls

Huanhuan, Bai Di, and Shuang Yun waited until it was almost dark, but Xue Ling still did not return.

The three of them couldn’t help but worry.

Bai Di searched the space but couldn’t find a note or slab left by Xue Ling.

With Xue Ling’s personality, even if he was delayed by something, he would write a letter and put it in the space to tell everyone if he was safe.

Now that there was no news, it was very likely that he didn’t even have the chance to write a letter.

Shuang Yun couldn’t take it anymore. “Stay here and take care of Huanhuan,” he said to Bai Di. “I’ll go down and look for Xue Ling and Luke.”

Huanhuan took his hand. “We’ll go with you.”

“But…”

“I know what you’re worried about. You think I’ll be safer here, but if you don’t come back like Xue Ling, what will Bai Di and I do? It’s impossible for us to leave each other alone. We’ll definitely go down to look for you in the end. Instead of being separated like that and not knowing if each other is safe, we might as well go down together now.”

Huanhuan was determined. Shuang Yun had no choice but to look at Bai Di for his opinion.

Bai Di analyzed calmly, “This place is strange. We won’t be at ease leaving you alone. Besides, you can’t guarantee that the two of us will be safe if we stay. Let’s go down together and take care of each other.”

Since Bai Di had agreed to Huanhuan’s suggestion, it was two against one. Shuang Yun could only compromise.

He transformed into a Silvery Frost White Wolf and led the way. The white tiger carried Huanhuan and followed closely behind.

The three of them jumped into the hole.

After landing, Huanhuan immediately took out the torch she had prepared in advance.

The torch was lit. In the light, she realized that she was in a cave surrounded by rock walls.

There was a tunnel ahead.

The Silvery Frost White Wolf walked in front while the white tiger carried Huanhuan behind.

Huanhuan raised the torch and kept looking around, observing the environment.

Eggy sensed that the atmosphere was tense. She was no longer as mischievous as usual and obediently lay on her mother’s head.

The tunnel was long, and there were many detours.

They walked for a long time.

Huanhuan suddenly shouted, “There are traces of fire here!”

The Silvery Frost White Wolf and the white tiger stopped at the same time. They looked up at the rock wall beside them. It was dark. It did look like it had been burned.

There was not even a single piece of firewood in this place. No one should have lit a fire here.

The only possibility was that Xue Ling had been here. He had lit a fire here, and the flames burned into the rock wall, so they left these marks.

Huanhuan immediately slid down the white tiger’s tail to the ground. She looked around with a torch and found a red crystal the size of a fingernail in a small corner. She picked it up and examined it carefully. “This should be one of the red crystals on Xue Ling.”

That guy was very vain and adorned many red crystals on himself as decorations.

The Silvery Frost White Wolf leaned over and sniffed. “It does smell like Xue Ling.”

The white tiger circled the area and analyzed slowly, “Xue Ling must have been here before. He even fought with someone. Now that his whereabouts are unknown, it’s very likely that he was in danger and was captured.”

The Silvery Frost White Wolf wagged his big tail in frustration. “Xue Ling is so strong. Who could’ve captured him?!”

“No matter how strong one is, one will always have weaknesses. As long as you grasp it, you can kill anyone with a single blow.”

The Silvery Frost White Wolf thought of something, and his eyes flashed. Then, he stopped talking.

Huanhuan craned her neck and looked around.

The white tiger noticed her abnormality and took the initiative to ask, “What are you looking for?”

“I thought I heard someone crying.”

The white tiger and the Silvery Frost White Wolf immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

There were indeed cries.

The voice was very thin, intermittent, and very indistinct.

The three of them followed the sound and found the source of the cries in the far corner.

It was a little girl!

She squatted in the corner. Due to the light and the angle, her body was completely blocked. If they hadn’t heard her cries, no one would have thought that there was someone hiding in this corner.

The little girl was wearing a red dress. Her long black hair was smooth, and her big eyes were filled with tears. Her red face was already wet with tears, making her look even more pitiful.

She was out of breath from crying, but her voice was very soft.

Huanhuan bent down and asked gently, “Little girl, why are you here? Where are your parents and family?”

The little girl was still crying and ignoring her.

Huanhuan tried all kinds of ways to lure her into talking, but there was no response.

Helpless, Huanhuan could only give up.

Bai Di said, “Let me try.”

He squatted in front of the little girl, his blue eyes especially gentle. “Little girl, why are you crying?”

The little girl looked up at him and cried, “I got separated from my brother.”

Huanhuan was very surprised.

She had tried her best to coax the girl, but she didn’t expect her to speak obediently as soon as Bai Di spoke to her.

Could this child be favoring boys over girls?!

Bai Di wiped the tears from her face with a cotton handkerchief. “What does your brother look like? Tell me about him. Maybe we can help you.”

“My brother is handsome,” the little girl said very seriously, looking at him. “He’s as handsome as you.”

Huanhuan: “…”

Wait, was this child teasing her?!

Bai Di asked her what her brother’s name was.

“His name is You Ran, and my name is You Xue.” The little girl blinked and asked shyly, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Bai Di. This beautiful lady is Lin Huanhuan. The one beside her is Shuang Yun.”

You Xue looked first at Shuang Yun, then at Bai Di. Her face turned even redder. “You’re both good-looking.”

Huanhuan: “…”

Had she been completely ignored?

You Xue took Bai Di’s hand and begged pitifully, “Good-looking big brothers, can you help me find my brother? I’m so afraid to be here alone.”

Bai Di smiled. “Sure.”

“That’s great! Brother Bai Di, you’re such a good person. When I find my brother, I’ll definitely give you a lot of gifts!”

Hence, the team that originally had only three people now had four people.

You Xue was a very lively and outgoing girl. Bai Di was on her left, and Shuang Yun was on her right. She kept chatting and laughing with them.

Huanhuan followed behind alone, feeling sad that she, the wife, had been isolated.

Boo-hoo~

You Xue said that she was tired and wanted to rest.

The four of them stopped to rest.

Bai Di took out the ingredients and made fragrant meat buns. Huanhuan was about to reach for the buns when Bai Di took the largest bun and handed it to You Xue.

“Come, eat while it’s hot.”

Huanhuan watched silently as You Xue took the meat bun and ate it happily.

Before long, You Xue closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Bai Di patted her face. “I gave her enough medicine to sleep for three days,” he said calmly.

Huanhuan: “…”

She had seen Bai Di secretly stuff some powder into the buns when he was making them. It was a drug she had developed that could make people fall asleep. It was usually used to relieve the pain of seriously injured patients. She didn’t expect Bai Di to use it on You Xue.
