Chapter 253.1: Became Lost (1/2)

Cerulean Mountain.

After traveling for half the night, Baili Yu brought Tang Doudou to a mountain cave to rest. Early the next morning, the two walked out again from the cave.

Although the moon was bright yesterday, there were large trees all around and the further in they walked, the darker it became, so she hadn’t really been able to see where they were.

Now that the sun was out, and she was able to get a good look, all that was around was still lush tree trunks. It was currently the height of summer and the chirping of insects were everywhere. However, the forest was cool, so it wasn’t very hot to walk in.

After a while, Baili Yu asked, “Is Wife hungry?”

Tang Doudou rubbed her stomach, then nodded honestly.

Baili Yu then picked a fruit from a nearby tree and handed it to her.

It was a beautiful bright red fruit. It immediately caused her to recall the fruits of the sacred tree that Mu Ye had given her back when they were on the sacred tree, so she asked skeptically, “Is it edible?”

“Try it?”

… However, Baili Yu’s personality has always been cautious in all aspects so he probably wouldn’t be like Mu Ye.

Tang Doudou took the offered fruit and bit into it, and the refreshing sweet taste of the fruit immediately exploded in her mouth. All her hesitation disappeared and she finished eating the fruit in a few bites.

After spitting out the pit of the fruit, she asked, “Big evil spirit, how did you know that this fruit was edible?”

Baili Yu was a master that lived like a prince, in complete comfort and ease. He brought Meng Yu with him everywhere he went because he was really picky about food. With how picky he was, how was it possible for him to randomly pick wild fruits to eat?

Baili Yu picked some more for her to hold on to. “Sometimes, when Meng Yu got in a bad mood, she would refuse to cook. During those times, I would use fruits to fill my stomach. However, I’d often get tired of the fruits so Ye Chuan would search for some more exquisite wild fruits to bring back. As time passed, I gradually got to know about most wild fruits.”

Sweatdrops appeared on Tang Doudou’s head when she heard this. No wonder she always felt that Meng Yu was a lot bolder and had much more of a temper than normal maids, so it turned out to be ‘haughtiness born of special treatment’ ah!

“Why aren’t you eating?” Tang Doudou ate a lot but Baili Yu didn’t eat a single one.

Baili Yu smiled, “Wife should hurry and eat. Once we leave the forest, there’ll be nothing for you to eat.”

Tang Doudou mulled over these words for a while but couldn’t figure out any hidden meanings, so she could only go with the literal meaning and start picking some fruits. She took off a layer of clothing and used it to carry the fruits. If what Baili Yu said turned out to be for real, she had no desire to travel hungry.
