"???" Bai Sasa was baffled. A formidable opponent?
Now Bai Sasa was completely thrown off.
Just moments ago, they were smiling at each other in the courtyard, could it be... was her elder sister being insincere?
After all, she had harshly rejected Brother Wenli back in the day, and now that their relationship had suddenly warmed up, the elder sister felt embarrassed.
Bai Sasa felt she had once again correctly guessed her elder sister’s intention and inadvertently tensed up nervously.
Since the elder sister didn’t want to speak of it, she had to pretend she didn’t know anything, certainly couldn’t blurt it out and make her elder sister lose face.
So Bai Sasa asked no further, focusing earnestly on washing the dishes instead.
While she was washing the dishes, the Mosquito-eating Plant was also seriously inching its roots towards the dishwater.
Bai Sasa saw this and deliberately poured all the dirty water onto the roots of the Mosquito-eating Plant.
The Mosquito-eating Plant, encouraged by Bai Sasa, shuddered its leaves in delight.
Bai Sasa then giggled heartily.
Seeing this scene, Bai Junjun thought of the Dawn Cedar submerged at the bottom of the river.
It seemed that these trees all really enjoyed the pool’s water.
But it’s no wonder, with the Water Spirit’s water’s purity and its rich energy particles, it’s like an energy tonic—who wouldn’t like it?
"Elder sister, can we take it with us when we leave?"
After just half a day’s interaction, Bai Sasa had completely fallen for this simple plant and couldn’t help feeling compassionate.
Thinking about how, after they left, this plant could only continue to compete with other plants for mosquitoes in the jungle, then unknowing of when, just die of old age there, she felt somewhat sad.
Bai Junjun glanced at the Mosquito-eating Plant and said, "I have no objections, but I can’t say there won’t be any objections from people outside seeing this huge thing that can walk on its own."
After all, in the eyes of the ancients, anything strange is often considered dangerous.
Seeing this walking plant, they would definitely treat it as a demon, and then mobilizing to burn or chop it up would be a pity, wouldn’t it?
Bai Sasa felt disheartened upon hearing this.
Indeed, she couldn’t just let the Mosquito-eating Plant be hunted by humans because of her own selfish desires, could she?
Rather than that, it was better off free in this jungle.
This brief conversation gave Bai Sasa a realization.
Their connection with the Mosquito-eating Plant was just for a few days; once they completed their tasks here, it would be time to part with the Mosquito-eating Plant.
And at this moment, the Mosquito-eating Plant, unaware of the looming goodbye, was still joyfully drinking the well water.
Moreover, the plant truly lived up to Bai Junjun’s description as the smartest among Mosquito-eating Plants as, tasting the flavor, it directly extended its roots into the bottom of the well to drink water profusely.
At that moment, finding this plant brashly sitting by the well soaking its feet, everyone was left speechless.
Only the Mosquito-eating Plant still looked innocent.
The meal was very simple, after all, there was only rice. Li Wenli took out some salt, and everyone mixed it with their rice, finding it rather tasty.
After a full meal, the tiredness deeply swept over everyone.
Indeed, from the volcanic activity last night onward, nobody had really slept, and everyone had been active since early morning, only now sitting down.
While hunting for the map was important, it was also crucial not to neglect proper rest.
Thus, everyone decided to rest right there for a Shichen Chinese Time before setting off later.
They didn’t move location but just sat down directly in the kitchen corridor; Bai Junjun leaned against the wall and almost instantly fell asleep, as did Li Wenli.
After all, using Special Ability all day, they were truly exhausted.
Watching the two who had fallen asleep so quickly, Bai Sasa also secretly clenched her fists, determined to grow strong and not just become a burden or hindrance.
