When Yun Chujiu started to act pitiful, the boys found that they were unable to bear the sight.
Yun Chus.h.i.+ quickly comforted her. "Young Jiu, don"t cry. Follow me, I"ll protect you since I"m your fourth brother!"
"Yes, Young Jiu. I have my duty as your sixth brother to protect you as well. Just follow us."
"That"s right! It"s not like we can"t protect you alone with so many of us around. Young Jiu, your eighth brother will protect you!" Yun Chuba held out his fist and said boisterously.
"Old Eighth, forget it. You might end up being the one who needs protection. You"re just at the Second Level of Spirit Refinement Realm, and you want to be a hero?" Yun Chuqi said tartly when she saw everyone protecting Young Jiu.
"Hmph! Seventh Sister, you just reached the Third Level of Spirit Refinement Realm. Your achievements aren"t a big deal either." Yun Chuba was a hot-blooded young man. When he heard Yun Chuqi"s trash talk, he immediately fought back t.i.t for tat.
Yun Chuyi coughed dryly a few times. "All right, stop arguing. We"ll bring Young Jiu along, and I"ll protect her. Let"s go!"
As the eldest, Yun Chujiu still stood as an authoritative figure among the younger members of the Yun family. Hence, all of them got on their horses and brought their guards along to head to the monster-infested forest.
Yun Chuyi picked an obedient filly for Yun Chujiu, and she stopped shedding tears immediately. She happily got on the filly, moved next to Yun Chuwu, and started to chat up a storm with her. There were no visible signs of any sadness on her at all.
Everyone suddenly felt like they had been cheated. "Young Jiu, could you at least be more professional when you"re putting up an act?!"
Yun Chuqi angrily said to Yun Chushan, "Third Sister, Young Jiu is becoming worse. She sounds so convincing when she lies!"
Yun Chushan stared at Yun Chujiu"s back. Disgust flashed in her eyes, but she softly said, "Young Jiu is still young. Since everyone pampers her so much, she can"t avoid being a bit unpredictable."
"Hmph! It"s all because the head of the household treasures her so much. These people are just trying to curry to her favor. That piece of trash is just marching to her own death by going to the monster forest when she has no spiritual energy whatsoever!" Yun Chuqi became angrier after she listened to Yun Chushan.
Yun Chushan smiled but said nothing. However, she did think about something. "It"ll be pretty good if an accident happens later. This Yun Chujiu is becoming even more difficult to understand than before! And she"s getting more annoying!"
Two hours later, the people of the Yun family arrived on the outskirts of the monster forest.
All of them got down from their horses, took two guards with them, and entered the forest.
Yun Chujiu had fled in a hurry last time, so it was only natural that she did not have time to observe the forest carefully. The monster forest looked slightly similar to the rainforests in her previous life. Other than the tall trees, there were also a lot of vines and shrubs.
"Young Jiu, these coral berries are sweet and sour. Girls love them!" Yun Chuba twisted off a twig for Yun Chujiu, and red berries covered the entire twig.
"Thank you, Eighth Brother! You"re so kind!" When Yun Chujiu heard there was something to eat, her eyes immediately lit up with joy.
Once she finished speaking, however, Yun Chujiu could not help but feel amused. "This poor, unfortunate soul. Why are you ranked eighth in the house? You just had to get the number that means busybody, huh?"
Yun Chuba looked at Yun Chujiu"s smiling face, and he thought, "This Young Jiu is really cute. Why didn"t I notice last time? Having a younger sister like her… feels pretty good!"
"Everyone, be careful! A monster is coming over!" Yun Chuyi quickly warned them.
Everyone swiftly hid their bodies and waited for their prey to appear.
Yun Chujiu was quite excited. "I haven"t seen a monster before! What does a monster look like?"
Soon, a gray monster appeared.
Yun Chujiu focused on it. "Oh my, isn"t this just a chubby rabbit?
"Do we need to be so serious with such a weak rabbit?"
Yun Chujiu soon cast aside her childish thoughts because the weak-looking rabbit actually spat out a wind blade!
