She is not lustful (Chapter 85)
Is this something she could just look at?
Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around as if her pants were on fire, her forehead hitting the door with a loud "bang," causing her considerable pain. However, the beautiful scene she had just witnessed still lingered in her mind.
The little one's body looked even better without clothes...
In an instant, Ye Sheng's ears turned bright red, and her neck followed suit.
Her dark eyes sparkled with light, and her expression was dazed.
"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be changing."
Even though her soul was almost out of her body, Ye Sheng still honestly apologized, worried that the obedient and well-behaved little one would feel embarrassed.
However, the little one, Gu Luoyu, whom Ye Sheng was worried about, wasn't panicking at all.
She didn't immediately get dressed but rather raised an eyebrow mischievously.
The deliberate test proved that Ye Sheng had no lustful thoughts towards her, displaying a shy, pure demeanor like a little girl. So, it could be confirmed that the previous series of kisses had a different purpose.
Healing damaged psychic abilities just by kissing the cheek?
Never heard of that.
More testing was needed.
As Gu Luoyu thought about this, she naturally picked up her clothes and put it on. Her ample chest moved with her actions. Then she put on a long dress, once again becoming a perfect model of obedient behavior.
"It's okay, Ye Sheng. I know you didn't do it on purpose. I've finished changing."
Hearing the little one say she was done, Ye Sheng didn't turn around immediately. Instead, she gave herself a mental pep talk, silently reminding herself that she was now a girl too. Not to mention the little one's bare back, even the front...
As she thought about it, Ye Sheng suddenly felt a warm sensation in her nose, followed by a trickle of blood.
It dripped down.
Ye Sheng was momentarily stunned, then quickly pinched her nose, internally screaming like a groundhog.
Ah, this is so embarrassing! She's actually having a nosebleed!
(╥﹏╥)
"Ye Sheng?"
To make matters worse, as Ye Sheng pinched her nose, unsure of what to do, the little one's curious voice sounded, making Ye Sheng look at her bleeding nose helplessly. She could only wave her hand in resignation.
Then she opened the door, closed it behind her, and ran to the area where she could get some water.
After using cold water, the bleeding finally stopped.
Feeling down, Ye Sheng returned to the house. Standing in front of the little one again, she didn't dare to look at her face, instead awkwardly staring at her own clothes' hem, unsure how to explain the nosebleed.
The little darling's eyes had recovered, so she naturally saw the drops of nosebleed.
This is too embarrassing!
However, unlike Ye Sheng's embarrassment, Gu Luoyu smiled and asked another question, "Did you get anything from going to the safe zone this time?"
Seeing Gu Luoyu's considerate attempt to change the subject, Ye Sheng felt touched, and her tense body relaxed. She began recounting her experience in the city, "Yes, yes, the mercenaries I saved yesterday brought gifts, including many practical items, and I also received some base credits..."
From beginning to end, Ye Sheng didn't forget to mention the transaction with Mo Lin, which made Gu Luoyu nod in agreement.
However, soon after, Gu Luoyu's face showed a worried expression. "But, Ye Sheng, it's too dangerous for you to go into the wilderness alone to find the gathering place of the duck flock!"
After speaking, she sadly lowered the corners of her mouth and softly said, "If I could recover, I could go with you, instead of you facing all these dangers alone."
Ye Sheng hadn't thought much of it before, but now, hearing the little one's concerned words was like spilling a jar of honey—her heart was filled with sweetness, making her smile brightly and feel incredibly happy!
As expected, her little one was so considerate and lovable!
In an extremely joyous mood, Ye Sheng patted her chest and gave a promise, "Gu Luoyu, don't worry, I will make sure you get better soon."
"Yes, I believe in you."
Gu Luoyu's red eyes narrowed slightly, her smile quickly disappearing into a playful expression, as she looked at the blissfully happy Ye Sheng as if she were a foolish rabbit walking into a trap.
...
Inspired by the little one's concern, Ye Sheng was full of motivation. After sleeping with anticipation, she set off early the next morning.
She didn't even have time to check the two sacks of gifts sent by Ah Mu last night.
Not long ago, Ye Sheng had joined a group with Zhou Lin to explore the wilderness for the first time. However, the outcome was terrible, and she almost lost her life.
It turned out that even with a large group, if they were all weaklings, it didn't help much...
On the contrary, the two hundred people attracted many polluted creatures.
So, after that one time, Ye Sheng decided never to go with a group again.
(¬_¬)
She decided to explore the wilderness alone.
If there were no findings nearby, she could go further.
Anyway, with a thirty-minute invisibility cloak, she could hide in critical moments to save her life. That's why Ye Sheng declined Ah Mu's company and chose to go to the duck flock's gathering place on her own.
If she encountered polluted creatures on the way, she could just go invisible and dodge!
Perfectly avoiding any dangers.
With no worries, Ye Sheng felt that even the journey was easy. On the way, she even took out some white peaches she had cut into small pieces at home a few days ago from her wish bag, which she could conveniently eat now.
Reluctant to eat the low-radiation peaches, Ye Sheng freely indulged in the medium-radiation ones. She took a bite of the peach flesh; compared to medium-radiation spinach, the fruit tasted much better. Although it didn't have as much juice as she had imagined and was quite chewy, the fruit was very sweet.
It made for a perfect snack.
As she continued eating, she arrived at the coordinates provided by Mo Lin. Among the lush grass, Ye Sheng activated her invisibility cloak and cautiously moved forward.
She believed that the information Mo Lin had given her was accurate, but she still needed to see the truth for herself.
As she proceeded, she suddenly heard a "quack," causing her eyes to widen with excitement. She quickened her pace in the direction of the sound.
In the next moment, she nearly collided with a duck.
It was called a duck, but its size was akin to a Shiba Inu. Its wings were hard and sharp, slicing through the surrounding grass with a flap. Its once flat bill was now pointed and angular, and it was pecking at the ground, creating deep holes with each peck.
Yikes...
If that beak were to hit a person, it would surely leave bloody holes.
Ye Sheng stopped abruptly, not daring to get too close, fearing the duck might catch her scent. She saw the duck waddling forward and, after carefully scanning the surroundings and seeing no other ducks, she quickly pulled out a crossbow from her waist and aimed it at the duck's head.
At a relatively close range, and with Ye Sheng's decent archery skills, she landed a perfect shot, killing the duck instantly.
Excitedly, Ye Sheng took out a detector and scanned the duck.
"Beep. High-radiation Lynch Pointy-Billed Duck detected. Not suitable for consumption."
This wasn't the start she had hoped for.
Ye Sheng wasn't disappointed, though. After all, the probability of finding edible food in the wilderness was always low.
If this one wasn't good, she would find another.
Determined, Ye Sheng walked quickly to retrieve the trident arrow from the duck's head. Just then, she heard a "crack" under her foot.
Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly looked down to see a nest of eggs, each the size of a papaya, next to the dead Lynch Pointy-Billed Duck. There were five eggs in total.
At that moment, Ye Sheng found herself in a silent stare-down with a small creature that had just hatched from one of the eggs.
