Chapter 57 Heading to the Wilderness
Chapter 57 Heading to the Wilderness
"Come on, Xiaoxue, you're too thin. Eat more to help yourself." Song Wanning smiled at Ye Chuxue, her eyes full of care and love.
"No, no need, Miss, I can do it myself." Ye Chuxue smiled a little shyly, trying to refuse Song Wanning's kindness.
“That won’t do. Eating so little will be bad for your health,” Song Wanning said seriously, frowning.
She gently placed a piece of meat into Ye Chuxue's bowl and tenderly urged, "Eat up, so you can grow up healthy and chubby!"
At the dinner table, Song Wanning kept putting food on Ye Chuxue's plate, which made Ye Chuxue feel very warm.
She knew this was Song Wanning's care and concern for her, and a feeling of gratitude welled up inside her. However, she still felt a little embarrassed and kept trying to decline.
Furthermore, Song Wanning was wearing a loose-fitting nightgown, her ample bosom almost spilling out, making Ye Chuxue unsure where to look. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she could only lower her head and eat, trying to avoid eye contact with Song Wanning.
After finishing their meal and washing up briefly, the two lay in bed. Song Wanning hugged Ye Chuxue tightly, as if afraid of losing her. They lay there quietly, enjoying the peace and warmth.
After a while, Ye Chuxue raised her head and asked softly, "Miss, where are we going tomorrow?" Her voice was filled with anticipation and curiosity.
"Hmm... Let's learn some movement skills first, and then we'll head to the wilderness area," Song Wanning said, stroking Ye Chuxue's head. Her tone was calm, but her eyes revealed a firmness and determination.
"Are we going to the wilderness?" Ye Chuxue's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly. She was filled with curiosity and anticipation for this unfamiliar and dangerous place, but also a little nervous.
“Yes, after all, only the wilderness can give us more practical experience,” Song Wanning replied with a smile. She gently patted Ye Chuxue’s shoulder and encouraged her, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. We’ll face all difficulties together.”
"But the wilderness is dangerous, are we really going?" Ye Chuxue asked worriedly. Her brows were furrowed, and a hint of fear was in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue. We'll be fully prepared, and I'll protect you," Song Wanning said softly, trying to reassure her. She gently patted Ye Chuxue's shoulder, attempting to calm her down.
Ye Chuxue nodded, but her heart was still filled with unease. She knew that the wilderness was full of unknown dangers and could be a huge challenge for them.
The next morning, Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue got up early and went to the school library together. This was where they learned skills and where it was key to improving their abilities.
Upon entering the library, they went to a dedicated skills learning area. Ye Chuxue opened an ancient book, which contained records of various powerful skills.
One of them caught her attention—Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace. This was an A-level skill. When using this skill, the body seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, and every step was as light as a falling snowflake, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Ye Chuxue thought to herself that if she could master this skill, she could approach the enemy unexpectedly in battle and deliver a fatal blow. At the same time, she could easily shake off the enemy's pursuit when escaping, increasing her chances of survival.
Immediately afterwards, she saw another A-level skill—Frosty Chain Binding. This was a chain-type weapon skill that could use the power of cold to bind enemies, preventing them from escaping.
"Mystic Ice Scale Armor, Rank A skill. The armor is composed of individual ice plates that can defend against all attacks. Furthermore, the ice plates can move on their own to protect a specific area and can automatically form any pattern."
……
A few days later.
Two young figures appeared in the bustling subway station.
They were dressed in light sportswear, carrying backpacks, and their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement.
These two people are Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue.
They had already informed Su Jingya in advance that they were going to explore the wilderness area.
Su Jingya didn't say much, but she repeatedly told them to be extra careful.
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue solemnly agreed, promising to act cautiously. Then, they embarked on their adventure.
After a long drive, they finally arrived at their destination—the entrance to the wilderness area. Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Phew, we're finally here."
Song Wanning smiled and replied, "Yes, it feels like a new challenge."
Before entering the wilderness, they first need to register their explorer identity information at the supply station.
As the two left the subway station, a man suddenly appeared on a rooftop not far from them: "Hmm, we need to keep a close eye on Xiao Ning this time. My little sister also said that Xiao Xue needs to be protected as well. I didn't expect her to be such a promising talent. Xiao Ning has good taste."
As he spoke, the person disappeared from the rooftop again.
The two walked side by side into the supply station, where a massive building came into view. Several busy staff members were at the entrance, handling various tasks in an orderly manner.
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue walked to the counter and handed their respective documents to the staff.
The staff carefully checked their information, then smiled and said to them, "Welcome to the wilderness area as explorers."
Here you can purchase necessary equipment and supplies. However, please remember to follow the regulations and ensure your safety. Good luck!
Ye Chuxue looked excitedly at the various weapons and tools in the display case, while Song Wanning carefully selected food and medicine suitable for long-distance travel.
Ye Chuxue looked at the dazzling array of goods in front of her, ranging from several hundred to several hundred thousand dragon gold coins.
That's so expensive! You could buy several of yourself for that price.
Ye Chuxue stuck out her tongue, and just then Song Wanning came over and said, "Let's go, Xiaoxue!"
"Okay!" Ye Chuxue skipped and hopped away with Song Wanning.
Where no one was paying attention, a man was saying to a middle-aged man, "Brother Tiger, these are the two of them."
The middle-aged man asked, "These are the two young ladies from the two prominent families you mentioned, and they're very wealthy, aren't they?"
"Yes, I guarantee it's true, and they're even richer than me!"
"Alright, then it'll be the two of them. We can have some fun after we rob them of their money. We'll have to thank Young Master Zhang afterwards."
The man was Zhang Lingyun, and the middle-aged man was the leader of a bounty hunter group he knew, whom everyone called Brother Tiger.
When Zhang Lingyun arrived at the supply station, he saw Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue.
Then came the story of how he approached Brother Tiger.
However, Zhang Lingyun did not reveal Song Wanning's true identity, fearing that Tiger Brother would not take action if he heard it.
But just as he expected, Tiger agreed.
Overjoyed, Zhang Lingyun took out a bank card: "Brother Tiger, this is a small token of my appreciation. There's a small goal in it."
Tiger laughed heartily: "Young Master Zhang is too kind. Don't worry, I, Tiger, am trustworthy. When we catch the person, Young Master Zhang, you can come and experience it too."
"Thank you, Brother Tiger."
