Yu Qi and Long Hui finally finished collecting the cores from the wolves. Their hands were stained with blood. They needed to wash the blood off. For now, they just wiped them.

“Brother Hui, let’s go. We need to find a river or stream.” Yu Qi stated.

Long Hui nodded.

Yu Qi leaned over. She whispered to Long Hui. “If we don’t find one, we can enter the space but we need a place without anyone there.”

“Okay.” Long Hui nodded.

They stored the cores and the weapon inside their ring space. They were about to walk away.

“Wait.” Bucong Jiye shouted.

Both Yu Qi and Long Hui stopped. Yu Qi turned around.

“Yes?” Yu Qi asked.

“Where are you going?” Bucong Jiye asked.

“None of your business.” Yu Qi replied.

“You!” Bucong Jiye felt angry when hearing that answer.

“Don’t tell me you want to follow us?” Yu Qi’s eyebrow lifted up.

“Ye…”

Before Bucong Jiye answered the question, Yu Qi cut her off. “I will not be going with such useless baggage.”

Long Hui told her that when facing a wolf, Bucong Jiye could not do anything but ask for help. Lucky for her that her brother came to her rescue. Otherwise, she would have ended up being the wolf’s food. Yu Qi did not want to travel with that kind of person. She would drag them down.

“We go separate ways.” Yu Qi said.

With that, Yu Qi dragged Long Hui from the place.

“That bitch!” Bucong Jiye swore.

“Bucong Jiye!” Bucong Shuye called Bucong Jiye’s name.

Bucong Jiye kept her mouth shut.

Yu Qi and Long Hui did not care about the Bucong Siblings anymore. They walked together with Aoi and Shino. Aoi was still in his big size.

“He can change its size?” Long Hui asked.

“Yeah. Oh, it is the first time you have seen him in this form, right?” Yu Qi said.

The last time Aoi used this form was when she barged into the military ground because Long Hui was seriously injured.

“Yeah. It looks surprisingly strong.” Long Hui commented.

“Not just look, I am strong.” Aoi put on a proud expression.

Long Hui did not take its word seriously.

“Look it is a stream. Finally, I can wash off the blood.” Yu Qi pointed at the river in front of them.

Even though she was a doctor, she did not like the blood smell. She wanted to wash herself right now.

Both of them approached the river. Yu Qi wanted to enter the stream right away but she was being pulled by Long Hui. She looked back at Long Hui in confusion.

“Let me check first. Who knows there are monsters inside.” Long Hui explained.

“Oh… Okay.” Yu Qi nodded like an obedient child.

The river was very clear. So, they could see the bottom of it. It was not so deep. Long Hui only could see the fish swimming around. Nothing was suspicious.

“Hmm… I think it is okay. Let’s wash.” Long Hui stated.

They washed the blood stain off their clothes. Yu Qi wanted to change her clothes. She took out the new clothes for her and Long Hui as well.

“You can take a bath first. I will be guarding you.” Long Hui saw Yu Qi’s intention.

“Thank you, Brother Hui.” Yu Qi smiled.

“You two, guard your master as well.” Long Hui ordered Aoi and Shino.

“I know.” Aoi rolled his eyes.

“Sure… Sure…” Shino jumped from Yu Qi’s shoulder.

Yu Qi cleaned up as fast as possible. She changed into new clothes.

“Brother Hui, it is your turn. You can clean up. I will be your guard.” Yu Qi stated.

So, Long Hui also cleaned up and changed his clothes. Both of them finally looked clean and better.

Yu Qi looked up at the sky. The sky slowly changed its color. She felt the time was very fast.

“It is night. It would be dangerous to be out here. Do you want to enter the space?” Yu Qi asked their opinion.

“Yes.” Aoi nodded.

“I will follow Master,” Shino said.

“It would be safer that way.” Long Hui also agreed with that idea.

If they were with other people, they would not dare to enter the space. Yu Qi’s secret would be leaked. And she might be in danger.

Yu Qi looked at the surrounding. She could not sense anyone around. With that, they entered the space safely.

“I will cook something simple.” Yu Qi said. Then she remembered about the apes. “It seemed my cooking can attract the monster.”

“What do you mean by that?” Long Hui asked.

“Earlier, after we had finished eating, the apes appeared. Before they attacked us, their leader licked the plate. Then he was triggered and attacked us.” Yu Qi said.

“He probably wants to catch Master and make Master cook for them.” Aoi made the assumption.

“You are kidding.” Yu Qi brushed the idea off.

However, they did not know that it was actually the apes’ idea.

Other people arrived at the river. They could see the footprint left on the ground.

“Look. There are other people here before us.”

“It is still wet. Where are they?”

“They must have walked away already. Let’s camp here.”

“Great idea. I was already tired of walking and fighting the monsters before coming here.”

“We can not be so comfortable. What I heard from the elder, the monsters are very active at night. We need to stay alert.”
