Chapter 176.2: Jerry-Built Construction (1/2)

The fruit entered her mouth. The taste was actually pretty good. It was sweet and tasty, and very juicy as well. She didn’t know what kind of fruit it was, she had never seen it before.

It was just that this color looked way too bright, like that of a poison fruit.

The moment this thought occurred to her, she spat out the fruit. Her facial color was unpleasant. The hell? It really was poisonous!

She opened her mouth, but her tongue was numb and she couldn’t even talk anymore.

She instantly felt like crying but didn’t have the tears. Da fudge? What exactly was this?

Tang Doudou didn’t dare risk eating the colorful fruits again. But Mu Ye, seriously, shouldn’t he at least check to see if the fruits were poisonous before picking them?

Since she was hungry and also couldn’t sleep, she decided to just go out and walk around.

The injuries on her foot still hurt a little, so she could only walk on tiptoe.

“Eh? Big Sister, why did you come out-yo? You’re still injured, you need to rest-yo!”

The moment Tang Doudou left the room, Nan Maner appeared from somewhere and hastily stopped her.

“Oh, the room’s too stifling. I wanted to come out and get a bit of fresh air.” After she found out that Nan Maner was one of Shen Moru’s subordinates, she couldn’t feel any intimacy towards her anymore. At the same time, she didn’t dislike her either. The numbness had faded from her tongue a little already. However, it still felt a bit numb when she spoke.

“So it was like that-yo!” Nan Maner nodded naively. She didn’t notice Tang Doudou’s strange manner of speaking. “Then just stay on the sacred tree-yo. No matter what, don’t get off the sacred tree-yo. The people below are very fierce-yo.”

Sacred tree?

Only then did Tang Doudou realize that she was currently standing on a tree branch. It was just that this tree branch was enormous. Wooden boards formed a flat surface and the dense leaves around didn’t let in much light, so it had caused her to think that she was in some forest. She never expected that she was actually on a tree.

She instantly started feeling a bit weak in her legs and stomach. Who knew how safe this irregular construct was?

What if it was a jerry-built construction? It wasn’t impossible that she would fall down in the middle of the night while she was sleeping!

“Heehee, Big Sister, are you worried that you’ll fall?”

Tang Doudou’s freaked out manner made Nan Maner cover her mouth and giggle.

“O-of course not!”

“Then why are your legs trembling-yo?”

As she spoke, she swept her gaze over Tang Doudou’s trembling legs and smiled mischievously.

Tang Doudou was perspiring profusely inside. She pulled back her legs and said, “Ahem, it’s cause I’m hungry.”

“I almost forgot-yo!”

When she mentioned that she was hungry, Nan Maner promptly smacked her own cheeks, then looked at Tang Doudou apologetically. “Sorry-yo, I forgot to bring food for you-yo.”
