Although she hastily finished building the big house, there wasn’t enough time to procure some living necessities.
She couldn’t get bedding or mosquito nets, so at the very least, she should prepare the kitchen supplies.
Of course, she wasn’t really going out, she just needed an excuse to leave, and then she would take out the salt, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar from the Space.
Creating a big house out of thin air in the deep woods was already outrageous enough, she couldn’t continue using the same method to produce salt, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar, or else they might start disbelieving.
Besides, if everyone started to overly rely on the Deity, what would they do when they wished for something they lacked?
However, her good intentions were not felt by everyone; they still shook their heads, disagreeing with the idea of the two of them going out.
Wu Nuan said earnestly, "It must be plastered with wanted posters outside now. If we go out and are recognized by Witch Ancestor Mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Mr. Dan He also nodded, "The Fox may not be restricted in movement, but he is afflicted with Gu poison and could fall ill at any moment, so it is really not suitable for him to go out."
"If we really need to go out, then let me do it," offered Mr. Shan Hai, volunteering himself.
The two Maids also raised their hands to show that they were willing to risk going out to find living supplies.
Bai Junjun glanced at them awkwardly—weren’t these people giving her a chance to perform?
She just wanted to find a reasonable excuse to bring back the salt, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Her first plan having failed, Bai Junjun resorted to a second, "Since we can’t go outside, then, I’ll go with the Fox to borrow some rice, flour, and cooking oil from our neighbors."
"???" Everyone’s eyes widened.
This girl wants to borrow rice, flour, and cooking oil from the neighbors? From the Fire-Swallowing Tribe?
The group felt like they were hearing some fantastical tale, and some were getting restless.
"Look, girl," Mr. Dan He couldn’t help but mutter, "You might..."
Bai Junjun quickly interrupted before he started his lecture, "Master, I’ll be careful, and having the Fox with me, I won’t act rashly."
Saying this, she patted the Fox who was still feasting beside her, "Okay, let’s continue eating when we come back, an early departure and return will also set everyone’s mind at ease."
"?" The Fox was reluctantly dragged away from the dining table, but seeing Bai Junjun’s urgent demeanor, he closed his mouth and said no more.
Watching the two insist on going out, everyone was so anxious that the two concerned Masters had already stood up to follow.
However, Bai Junjun calmly turned around and told everyone to be at ease, specifically instructing Ah Dao, "Talk more about the Fox and my great deeds to the two Masters."
The implied message was that it was Ah Dao’s inadequate promotion that led the Masters to continually treat them like immature children. In fact, their combat ability was sky-high, enough to defeat a whole company!
And so, Bai Junjun and the Fox went out, but they didn’t go far; almost immediately upon stepping outside, Bai Junjun pulled the Fox by the hand and they both entered the Space together.
The Fox had stayed here last night and liked this place filled with the fragrance of Jasmine. However, he had only stayed in the courtyard and hadn’t wandered elsewhere, but now Bai Junjun led him into a small room.
The Fox then discovered that the room contained a large, white Hill, and out of curiosity, he touched a bit with his finger and put it into his mouth, nearly salting himself to death.
Bai Junjun, amused, handed him a jar of Water of Flora, "Eating Salt like that, you really aren’t picky, huh?"
Li Wenli took the watering can with a wronged expression and gulped down a lot.
After the salty taste in his mouth had been washed away, Li Wenli continued to survey the small room.
