In order to protect his reputation, Old Sa lied and said that those people's souls were taken away by the gods because they had offended them and no one could save them.
Everyone believed his words. No one doubted him.
Now that Bai Di had exposed the truth with a few words, the old shaman flew into a rage out of humiliation. "You're slandering me! I won't lower myself to your level. I want to go back now!"
He endured the pain and got up. He turned and walked out.
Shuang Yun took a step forward and blocked the door. "She's not cured yet. Don't even think about leaving."
The old shaman's face was red with anger, and his entire body was trembling. "I'm a shaman. You'll get retribution for treating me like this!"
"Then let retribution come quickly. Let me see what you're capable of."
Shuang Yun crossed his arms over his chest, looking cold and distant.
In terms of strength, the old shaman was no match for him. The shaman could only freeze on the spot, his expression changing.
Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, Huanhuan quietly opened her eyes.
Bai Di, who was standing by the bed, was the first to notice it.
He, who usually kept his emotions to himself, couldn't suppress his excitement. He reached out and hugged her tightly. "You're finally awake!"
Huanhuan had just woken up and was still in a daze.
She looked confused. "What's wrong?"
Xue Ling also leaned over. Seeing that she was safe and sound, his heart finally relaxed, but at the same time, a wave of anger surged.
He grabbed her hand and opened his mouth to bite it.
Huanhuan howled, "Why did you bite me?"
"I'm angry! If I don't bite you, I'll feel aggrieved!" Xue Ling glared at her angrily and gritted his teeth. "You've been unconscious these past few days. You scared the three of us."
Hearing this, Huanhuan could only rub her hand that was hurting from the bite and say guiltily, "I'm sorry."
When Shuang Yun saw that Huanhuan had woken up, he couldn't be bothered with the old shaman anymore. He rushed over and snatched Huanhuan from Bai Di's arms.
He rubbed against Huanhuan's neck for a long time and said in a muffled voice, "You didn't wake up in so long. I thought you would…"
'You'd never wake up.'
Just thinking about this possibility made his heart ache so much that he almost suffocated.
In the past, he had never thought that his heart would be given completely to a female.
If she was gone, it would be equivalent to digging out his entire heart.
Huanhuan stroked his head. "I was just sleeping. Don't worry."
The three of them circled Huanhuan. No one paid attention to the old shaman.
When they came back to their senses, they realized that the old shaman was gone.
Bai Di and the other two did not take this to heart. Huanhuan was the most important to them now.
Shuang Yun asked anxiously, "Why did you suddenly faint? Are you sick? Don't hide it. You have to tell us the truth. We'll think of a way to help you."
Faced with the three's concern, Huanhuan was both touched and guilty. "I'm not sick. The reason I suddenly fainted is because of this."
She held up the small gear in her hand.
After activating it once, the small gear became much prettier than before. It shone with golden light.
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling looked at the small gear in her hand at the same time, puzzled.
Huanhuan told them the entire process of how she turned the gear and entered the knowledge space to learn.
When she finished, the three of them realized that she suddenly fainted not because she was sick but because her consciousness was forcefully sucked away by the Wheel of Machinery.
Huanhuan felt very guilty and couldn't help but apologize again. "I made you worry for nothing. I'm sorry."
Bai Di stroked her head. "As long as you're fine," he said gently.
Rumble.
Huanhuan's stomach suddenly growled loudly. She immediately blushed and asked softly, "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry now."
It was a miracle she hadn't starved to death after not eating for more than 10 days.
Bai Di immediately went to the kitchen to cook.
Shuang Yun and Xue Ling stayed by her side and reminded her over and over again that no matter what happened in the future, she was not allowed to disappear without a word.
She had really frightened the three of them this time.
Huanhuan raised her hand and swore that she would never do this again.
Bai Di made a pot of fish soup noodles. The fresh and sweet fish soup was accompanied by soft noodles, fresh vegetables, and golden poached eggs. Just looking at them made one's appetite increase.
Huanhuan hugged the bowl and ate.
After a full meal, she was much more energetic.
Seeing that she was back to normal, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Xue Ling was finally in the mood to continue taking care of Eggy. Shuang Yun said to Huanhuan, "The butterfly flowers you planted in the backyard have bloomed."
Hearing this, Huanhuan immediately went to the backyard and saw the blooming butterfly flowers.
The light purple petals were very beautiful. From afar, they looked like butterflies flapping their wings.
Huanhuan tried to communicate with them.
These butterfly flowers were very docile. Huanhuan successfully obtained their agreement and made a contract with them to keep them in her green crystal bracelet.
She gently stroked the green crystal. Dozens of purple butterfly flowers flew out of the green crystal and circled Huanhuan.
Their roots were hidden in green crystals, and their flowers flew freely in the air like real butterflies.
Huanhuan extended her fingertips. The largest flower stopped on her fingers and said in a delicate and gentle voice, "Master."
It sounded like a soft girl.
Huanhuan involuntarily slowed down her voice. "Do you have a name?"
"No."
"Since you're purple, I'll call you Little Purple in the future. Is that okay?"
The butterfly flower flapped its petals and looked happy. "Sure."
Little Brat clicked his tongue. "Your naming skills are really disappointing."
"Yes, your name is still the best, Little Brat."
Little Brat: "…"
Huanhuan said, "Come on, let's have a go at each other!"
Mark came to tell Huanhuan that the ship she needed had been built and asked her to check it.
Huanhuan called Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling over to take a look.
This was their first time seeing a ship. They were all curious about what this big guy was for.
This ship was larger than Huanhuan had imagined. It was all built of wooden planks and was mixed with several metal materials to weld and seal.
Huanhuan boarded the ship and walked around. The deck cabin had all the masts and sails. There were even cannons installed at the bow. It looked very good. She wondered what it would be like on the surface of the sea.
Mark hesitated. "But there's a problem with this ship."
"Huh?"
"It needs a large number of crystals to operate. Usually, it consumes at least 10 colorless crystals a day. If there's an emergency, the consumption of crystals will be even higher."
Crystals were too precious to the dwarves, but they were nothing to Huanhuan.
She waved her hand very boldly. "It's just 10 colorless crystals a day. I can afford it!"
