It only took one day and one night for Bai Qingqing’s group to return to the village.

Layers of lush thick mountain forests were right in front of them, and even though the greenery looked so piercing under the sunlight, they felt a cooling sensation.

The young lady riding on the peacock’s back looked pale, her lips dried and flaking. Her eyelids were droopy, but her eyes were bright and energetic. She lowered her head and patted the baby in her arms, saying softly, “An’an, be good, we’re back home.”

Before they reached the borders, Bai Qingqing couldn’t wait to pat Alva’s back to get him to land.

Alva’s body declined and slid into the forest. He then landed by the nearest small river.

The moment they entered the forest, the air instantly turned refreshing. The oxygen-rich air brought about the right amount of moisture, and bathing in it made them feel as if even their skin was taking in moisture. Their lungs were also being cleansed.

Bai Qingqing sighed. A splash rang out as she carried the child and squatted in the river water.

When Bai Qingqing’s scorching skin was suddenly soaked in cold water, she shuddered intensely. However, she still couldn’t bear to come out. She carried her child with one hand while feeding water to An’an’s mouth with the other.

An’an’s lips were very dried as well, but it was much better than Bai Qingqing’s. After all, she still had a few mouthfuls of milk to replenish her moisture, after all.

An’an opened her mouth and kept on swallowing. Her parched appearance made Bai Qingqing’s heart wrench up, and she said with an aching heart, “An’an, it has been tough on you.”

Curtis loved water by nature, and it had been really tormenting to have been dried up for two days. However, he couldn’t care about himself for now. He walked over to a bunch of aquatic plants, plucked off a wide leaf, scooped up some water, then brought it to Bai Qingqing’s mouth.

“Drink some water.” Curtis’s voice sounded hoarse. After saying this, he couldn’t help but flick out his tongue and lick the water.

Bai Qingqing was also extremely parched. She lowered her head and drank the water, only to recall Curtis’s earlier action. She then took in another big mouthful of water, raised her head, and pushed the leaf to Curtis’s lips.
