"Uh, Little Rabbit Sister, can you run a bit slower this time?"
I glanced at the wildly blowing deep forest ahead, then at the rabbit's thick furry back, and for a moment, I actually found it hard to decide.
The rabbit huffed lightly and lay down on the thickly accumulated snow, "Useless human, get on."
"I'll take that as a yes." With the experience from before, I deftly grabbed the rabbit's soft long fur and climbed on, reaching out a hand to Yu Rongling below.
Yu Rongling felt a bit repulsed and lowered his voice, "You want me to be carried out of the woods by food? If word got out, my own kind would laugh at me."
"Are you getting on or not? Keep dilly-dallying, and I'll leave you here for the New Year." I looked disdainful; this dumbass snake with a screw loose in its head would die if it didn't return to its body soon, and here it was being needlessly finicky.
"No, don't leave me behind, I'll get on, okay?"
Yu Rongling dared not fuss anymore and hurriedly grabbed my hand, leaping up lightly to sit behind me, "Ah—ah—it's too fast—"
A piercing scream tore through the peaceful sky almost the instant Yu Rongling's butt hit the rabbit.
The rabbit kicked back and started sprinting like a whirlwind.
This scream was much worse than mine earlier.
But it was the speed I could just handle, I said calmly and indifferently, "Is it really that exaggerated? This speed is much slower than what I just had."
"Sister-in-law... help... tell the rabbit to slow down..." Yu Rongling, jostled about as if his vitality had been sucked dry by a spider demon, ran out of strength to scream and hoarsely whispered.
I felt as if I were riding a swift horse across an endless prairie, actually feeling refreshed and invigorated, "I'd like to help you out, but it seems we've already arrived."
On the road, the rabbit encountered a red off-road vehicle and suddenly stopped next to it, "Grandmaster of the Lin Family, is this car here to pick you up?" Read complete version only at noveⅼfire.net
"Yes, yes! That's the one, thank you." I patted the rabbit's back, my mood buoyant.
Beichen got out of the driver's seat, opened the rear door, hoisted Yu Rongling onto his shoulder, and walked toward us.
"Beichen... how... how did he find this place, with the forestry area so big... and the heavy snow falling... he still found us!" Yu Rongling was pale and listless.
I urged Yu Rongling, "I shared my location with him on WeChat, get back into your body quick!"
"Okay... I'm going back now..." Yu Rongling, as if gasping for breath, sluggishly transformed into a green light and slowly drifted into his own body on Beichen's shoulder.
I slid down the rabbit's side, shook off the snow from my body, and ran to Yu Rongling's side, "How do you feel? Yu Rongling, if you can hear me, just respond."
"Hey, hey, hey, sister-in-law, I'm awake, Primordial Spirit back in place!" Yu Rongling hung upside down, his large almond-shaped eyes wide open, his snake eyes rolling excitedly as he responded to me several times in a row.
Beichen's eyes darkened, and he dropped Yu Rongling's body with a cold face.
Yu Rongling plunged headfirst into the snow, getting a mouthful.
He forcefully spat it out and sprang to his feet, blood boiling with excitement as he bellowed, "I, Huhansan, am back again!"
"Rabbit, can you wait a moment?" I called out to the rabbit, about to leave, and said to Beichen, "Beichen, check dumbass's pulse, see how his body is doing."
"You're still worried your grandpa might harm him, huh? Quite the cautious one," the rabbit complained, impatiently waiting.
Beichen complied and took Yu Rongling's pulse; as time passed, his expression grew more serious, "Strange... something's off with Second Master's body..."
