Chapter 191: Mysterious Little Girl!

Chapter 191 – Mysterious Little Girl!

Wei Xiao Bei cleaned the fish again and thrust a wooden stick through it, while stretching out his hands over the firewood.

With a crackling sound, a blue-colored flame appeared on the firewood, and Wei Xiao Bei hurriedly pulled back his hand.

He was not afraid of electricity, but fire was still something that could burn him.

Although his recovery strength was strong, there was no need to burn himself. It must be known that the injuries that he acquired when he was fighting in the Dust World’s dojo had still not yet completely healed. His fighting strength had also been affected.

The firewood was dry so he had to use a stick to control the fire, while his right hand was flipping the fish over the fire.

Gradually, the fish’s eye became white and let out a fragrant smell. This made Wei Xiao Bei gulp.

He was slightly in regret as he looked at the fish over the fire. The seasonings that he had found with great difficulty were all in his backpack. His fish would not be able to reach its full level of deliciousness.

In truth, there were many flowers, grass, and trees that could become natural seasonings, but when Wei Xiao Bei had survival training in the army, nobody had taught him any of these. The only things he learned was eating earthworms, snakes, ants, and chili pepper. Other than that, he learned  how to catch shrimps, how to dig underground tubers, and how to cook in pit fires.

Should I go research on countryside survival when I return to reality? I should probably try to gain a skill on identifying plants?

I don’t really want to eat tasteless food in the Dust World.

Thinking up to here, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly noticed that he needed to learn a lot of things.

The most important things should be cooking and fishing.

What he had now was a small brook, so using his hands should be fine, but in the future, if he encountered a large river, having a high fishing skill would be better.

Thinking back to it, Wei Xiao Bei remembered that he had made meals a few times when he was still working in Cui Hu City. Although most of the times he would make instant noodles and hardtack porridge, he thought about why the cooking skill hadn’t appeared.

Wei Xiao Bei had also thought about using his status appraisal on the plants there, but when he thought about it again, the number of plants there would tire his brain once he inspected them one by one.

After indulging in his thoughts, he suddenly thought about the fish in his hands.

Why did it get lighter?

Coming back to his senses, he saw that there was a little girl around 7-8 years old, standing on a stone not far away. The girl’s face was tender yet snow white as if it was carved jade. She wore a white pleated skirt. Her shoulder was draped with a light yellow muslin. A jade hairpin in the shape of a half moon was inserted in her hair. Her thin hands were currently holding onto the roasted fish as she gnawed on it.

If that place was not the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei would have thought that the little girl was an actress of a costume drama group.

Wait! Isn’t that fish mine? How did it get into the little girl’s hands? Moreover, I did not even sense her presence!

Without a doubt, the girl did not come from the real world.

The reason was simple. If the girl came  from the real world, she would have already been crying in complete disorder, let alone quietly sneaking away with his fish!

The girl was a creature of the Dust World!

Wei Xiao Bei unconsciously wanted to inspect her status, but his [Early Warning] ability immediately warned him to stop.

He had a premonition that if he used his [Status Appraisal], his life would be in danger, and he would regret it!

Moreover, he was unable to sense any danger or threat coming from the girl at all, but a faint fear appeared deep inside his heart.

Wei Xiao Bei slightly opened his mouth, but he did not know what was the right thing to say. This little girl was crouching on the stone while nibbling on the roasted fish, and her mouth was covered with white fish meat and even black burnt fish skin.

If it was a common child, this appearance could only be said to be considered cute.

However, when Wei Xiao Bei looked at her, the fear in his heart slowly disappeared, and he felt tranquility inside. The scent of flowers from the surroundings had become thicker, and peace seemed to have entered the world. This had stopped Wei Xiao Bei from saying anything that would destroy the peacefulness.

Smacking her lips, the little girl swallowed the last piece of fish meat. Reluctant to part, she licked the bones clean and sighed. Then she placed the bones into the fire and said a few words to herself. Even if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to hear it, he could not hear her voice at all.

Who knew that at this moment, the girl would jump down from the stone and walk toward Wei Xiao Bei. She stood there while staring at him with a frown before saying two words, “Uncle! Uncle!”

Wei Xiao Bei was baffled, but he also felt at ease when he saw that something seemed to have disappeared from the fish bones.

Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei did not respond, she jumped up and down while waving her hands in front of him.

Wei Xiao Bei finally came to his sense and looked at the jumping little girl. He understood that she might not be a normal person, “What?”

Even though he could not see through the strength of the little girl, he knew that being able to survive in the Dust World had already made her superior than most adult men.

“I’m still not full.”

The little girl’s words and and her big blinking eyes made her look extremely cute. Anyone who saw this would not be able to refuse her request at all.

However, at this time, Wei Xiao Bei’s heart shook, and he felt awakened. His [Iron Will] activated, stopping him from responding to that request.

“Oh.”

Wei Xiao Bei let out a smile.

“Okay, I will help you temporarily drive away the evil possession in you. You help me roast the fish.”

The little girl blinked as if she wanted to make an exchange with Wei Xiao Bei.

Evil possession?

When Wei Xiao Bei heard the familiar words, he was stunned.

I had already dispersed the evil possession right?

Why did it appear again?

Wei Xiao Bei believed the little girl’s words. This did not have any relation with his [Iron Will] but more with his intuition telling him that she had no evil intentions.

“Temporarily drive away? Couldn’t you completely drive it away?”

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but frown. He felt uncomfortable at this situation that he could not grasp.

When did the evil possession appear in my body again? Why did my [Early Warning] not react to this?

In short, Wei Xiao Bei’s mind was in complete disarray at the moment.

“Can’t. If you leave this place, it would attach again.”

The little girl’s face was slightly serious as she stared at Wei Xiao Bei’s head.

Wei Xiao Bei felt his body numb and thought that the little girl had treated his head as some kind of delicious food. Naturally, he did not forget to ridicule her in his mind. The little girl was too bad at making deals. In the end, the evil possession would reattach again, what was the point of removing it now?

After forcing himself to calm down, Wei Xiao Bei continued asking, “What is this evil possession?”

Wei Xiao Bei could faintly feel that this little girl knew many things about the Dust World. He felt that chasing after Zhu Yi Duo was a good choice. Now, if he could eliminate Zhu Yi Duo, it would be better.

“Evil possession?”

The girl frowned and blushed, “I don’t remember it that much. It’s something from the West. It’s very rare here but hard to remove.”

From the West?

Wei Xiao Bei silently contemplated her words, trying to understand something.

“Right, did you come here to find medicinal herbs? I will trade medicinal herbs in exchange for your help.”

The little girl clasped her hands and stared at Wei Xiao Bei, but her smile had decreased a lot.

Medicinal herb?

Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood what kind of thing it was, but he had a premonition that accepting it was a bad idea.

He shook his head and deepened his voice, “I came here to find someone. A person who can turn into a wolf.”

“But there is no one here who could turn into a wolf? I can ask someone to help you, but help me cook fish first okay?”

The little girl impatiently pouted.

“Okay!” Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head when a chill suddenly appeared on his back.

He jumped in the brook, caught fish, and roasted them. He felt that his skills had improved, but the cooking skill still did not appear in his status panel.

Wei Xiao Bei felt that his exchange was not bad. This had benefits for him. After catching a lot of fish, the bonfire stopped burning. As a result, he once again gathered wood and started the flame with his electricity.

The little girl clapped her hands and smiled, “Your ability looks similar to Lei San’s.”

“Lei San?” Wei Xiao Bei was now unwilling to let go of any piece of information. He could not help but softly ask, but his hands did not stop moving.

“It’s Lei San. As for who he is, I cannot tell you. This would violate the rules, and I would be sent to the Evil Lands.”

Wei Xiao Bei noticed that there was a lot of information in the little girls words. Every single phrase could be turned into precious information.

“What is the Evil Lands?”

Wei Xiao Bei had already finished roasting one fish. Although the tail was slightly burnt, it was decent overall. He immediately gave the roasted fish to the little girl and tried to ask.

“You don’t know about the Evil Lands? Didn’t you come from there? The place here is called the Blessed Lands, while outside is the Evil Lands.”

The little girl took the roasted fish and took a happy bite. She enjoyed the taste of fish as she bit  it and answered the question half-heartedly.

So it was like that.    Wei Xiao Bei had an understanding.

However, this had also increased the number of questions in his head.

The place outside was indeed a field of withered trees and dust-covered ground. It was obviously not a good place. On the contrary, this place had beautiful scenery, as if he had entered paradise. Calling it the Blessed Lands was normal.

But then, what kind of place was this Blessed Lands?
