Baili Qingxue looked coldly at them, and they all immediately shut up. They slowly found an empty spot to sit down and rest, but every single one of them made sure to stay far away from that Bloodsucking Magical Vine.
Even though Baili Qingxue had killed that Bloodsucking Magical Vine, it was still a test of their bravery to rest right next to the carcass of such a ferocious thing.
The one who was complaining about being hungry, Fatty Yu, was a broad-minded and broad-waisted chap who just sat down happily. He took some snacks out of his storage ring that he had prepared before setting off and heartily ate them as his small eyes happily curved as he ate. They looked like two happy slits and looked rather cute and innocent.
Yun Qingyan glanced at Baili Qingxue. This guy's ability to deduce other things from just one sentence was not bad.
He didn't have as much experience in a forest filled with Magical Beasts, but he understood important points from the information she provided.
The presence of a Bloodsucking Magical Vine meant that this was a dangerous place, but once the Bloodsucking Magical Vine was dealt with, this would become the safest place instead.
After all, no Magical Beast would come by for the time being.
He seemed to notice Yun Qingyan looking at him, so Baili Qingxue turned to look at her. But Yun Qingyan looked away and ignored him as she walked toward a huge tree with long strides.
She hadn't taken more than two steps when a chubby, oily, and pudgy little hand caught hold of the corner of her clothes.
When she saw two additional unwanted oily fingerprints appear on her clothes, the veins on Yun Qingyan's forehead bulged in anger.
"I'm… I'm sorry…" The plump boy realized he had done something wrong and immediately shrank back like a quail. He then gathered up his courage and looked up as he pulled out a box of snacks from his storage ring. "This… This is for you…"
Yun Qingyan just looked coldly at him and didn't say anything.
Many started gasping next to him instead.
"Snacks from Yude Eatery? Gosh, there's something wrong with Fatty Yu's head, right? He's actually offered a useless bum like Yun Qingyan snacks from Yude Eatery? That's such a waste of good food!"
"Doesn't Fatty Yu love to eat the most? Why would he want to give his food away to somebody else?"
Since Yun Qingyan didn't take the snacks from him, the plump boy's face crumpled. "You don't like it? These are Yude Eatery's specialty snacks, and it wasn't easy for me to get them."
He swallowed his saliva, and his tiny eyes looked so sad. "I've not eaten them too many times myself even."
Yun Qingyan still didn't take the snacks from him, and she raised an eyebrow. "Why are you giving this to me?" Everyone here should hate her very much, no?
The plump boy looked a little shy as he dropped his voice to a whisper, "Boss Yun, you know something? You were really cool when you thrashed Su Ling. I just knew you weren't an ordinary person. Just now, Li Hu didn't listen to your advice and ended up like this, didn't he? Boss Yun, don't bother about those idiots who are too blind to see who's really of value. Just remember to take care of me." He patted his chest with a pudgy hand, and his tiny eyes tried their best to open as wide as possible as he looked at her with great anticipation.
He came from a family of merchants, and he wasn't really gifted at cultivation, but he had excellent judgment.
He had a feeling that clinging onto Yun Qingyan was definitely a profitable business. Even though Yun Qingyan didn't have Elemental Power, she knew way more about the Magical Beasts and plants in the forest than an ordinary person, and even Baili Qingxue and Lin Wanyue couldn't be compared to her.
Besides, neither Baili Qingxue nor Lin Wanyue would care about a little plump boy like himself, so it was much easier to cling to Yun Qingyan instead.
Besides, Su Ling used to love teasing and insulting him for being fat. The battle between Yun Qingyan and Su Ling had certainly helped him to vent some anger, so even though Yun Qingyan had not previously displayed her understanding of this forest, he still had a good feeling about her.
Boss Yun? What sort of term of address was this? Yun Qingyan's lips twitched, but she still didn't accept the snacks. She held onto the tree branches and swiftly climbed up the large and old tree.
When he saw that Yun Qingyan ignored him, the plump boy immediately grew anxious and started running after her with his fat little legs.
"Hey! Boss Yun! Boss Yun!"
