Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Eating Grass Together_1

Qin Sisi, clutching Ye You and controlling the Wings of Rainbow, flew in the safe direction while concealed by the Invisible Bubble.

There was a mont when Qin Sisi had the illusion that she and Ye You were still in the Human World, in search of wandering ghosts.

Even the horrifying and hateful ghosts had never made her this afraid. But now, surrounded by seemingly normal people, Qin Sisi felt a deep fear.

They reached the West City Gate, and Qin Sisi smoothly landed on the ground. She and Ye You hid inside the Invisible Bubble and looked around. However, all they could see was the silent darkness of the night. Not a single figure was visible.

What they didn’t know was that Tian Xiaozi, suspicious by nature, had not only secured the starting point of the ti tunnel with a giant mirror to prevent Ye You’s escape and stationed nurous powerful assassins to ambush and kill Ye You, but he had also secretly given orders to close all four city gates after dark, allowing no one to enter or leave the city.

After Ya Ning relayed the news of Ye You’s upcoming return, the forces supporting Ye You indeed dispatched many people to receive him, only to be blocked outside the city, anxious and helpless.

Of course, the ones most anxious were Qin Sisi and Ye You. With great difficulty, they managed to escape from the Royal Palace, but they couldn’t leave the city.

Qin Sisi looked up at the tall city walls and suggested, "Can we fly over the city walls or use the Earth Escape Skill to get out of here?"

Ye You shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "No, the skies and the earth around the city walls are sealed. Forcing our way in or out will only alarm our enemies and expose us more quickly."

"Then what do we do? No one is coming to help!" Qin Sisi stomped her foot in anxiety, feeling clueless in this completely unfamiliar place.

After pondering for a while, Ye You gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s not leave for now. Once it’s morning, the city gates will naturally open, and we can figure out a way to leave then."

After thinking about it, Qin Sisi felt that this was the best plan at the mont. She nodded and asked, "Where should we go now?"

Ye You had already thought of a strategy and imdiately replied, "There is a Jade Belt River in the north of the city. I used to play there frequently when I was young. There is an abandoned small wooden house by the river which is quite remote. They might not notice us there."

"Alright." Qin Sisi responded. She imdiately started flapping the Wings of Rainbow to fly into the bewildering night sky. The surroundings seed exceptionally dark. If it weren’t for the light from the Wings of Rainbow, it would be impossible to see anything clearly.

Qin Sisi took a deep breath. It was the darkness before dawn, and it would soon be daylight.

When they flew past the area near the Royal Palace, Qin Sisi and Ye noticed the palace gates were open. Squads of armored guards with weapons were rushing out of the palace. The entire palace was brilliantly lit, as if they were on high alert.

Both Qin Sisi and Ye You felt heavy-hearted. It seed that Tian Xiaozi was determined to capture them. They were unsure whether they would be able to get past this ordeal safely.

When they arrived at the Jade Belt River in the north of the city, the Invisible Bubble was about to fail. The sky in the east also gradually revealed a faint white color as dawn approached.

As expected, there was a very rundown small wooden house by the river. Qin Sisi walked in with Ye You in her arms. There was a traditional heated sleeping platform and a three-legged table lying crookedly on the floor inside the house. Other than these two items, the house was empty, showing that it had been abandoned for a long ti.

A thick layer of dust covered the floor, but Qin Sisi, covered in dirt, didn’t care about cleanliness. Exhausted, she sat directly on the dusty sleeping platform.

Looking up, she saw several large holes in the roof. If rain ca, it would pour inside as well.

"Hungry?" Ye You asked softly, showing a bit of regret.

In the Human World, at least she had a peaceful place to live and enough food.

Now, Qin Sisi was not only afraid but also hungry following him.

Qin Sisi nodded, then shook her head.

The Crystal Mushroom and Cui Ling fruit were indeed excellent. After eating them, she quickly regained her strength. However, it had been several hours since she ate last.

She was both tired and hungry but didn’t want to make Ye You worry.

Ye You understood Qin Sisi’s feelings. Feeling more guilty, he sighed helplessly and took out a piece of grass from his Portable Space, saying, "This is the only piece of Spirit Grass left. You can recover so strength first. After dawn, we can go buy food."

Qin Sisi took the so-called Spirit Grass. It had five leaves on it, whose color was quite dark, suggesting they were about to wilt. She asked hesitantly, "Can this... be eaten?"

Ye You replied awkwardly, "It’s not very tasty. It’s been in the Portable Space for a year so it has lost so of its Spiritual Energy. However, it can sustain your strength for a few hours."

Being in the Demon Sacred Realm and feeding the girl he likes grass as their first al made him feel guilty, but he genuinely had a bit of a desperate feeling at this point.

This only piece of Spirit Grass was left over from his pill concoction.

Qin Sisi looked at Ye You without saying anything and plucked a leaf to put it in her mouth.

It indeed wasn’t tasty, akin to chewing wax.

With difficulty, Qin Sisi swallowed the first leaf and ate a second one.

Ye You watched Qin Sisi’s actions, feeling a bitter sweetness in his heart.

After Qin Sisi finished the second leaf, she took the third leaf and put it in front of Ye You.

Ye You shook his head, "I’m not hungry."

Qin Sisi gently said, "You haven’t eaten anything for a long ti. How can you not be hungry?"

Saying this, she put the leaf to Ye You’s mouth.

Ye You hesitated, then opened his mouth and swallowed the leaf from Qin Sisi’s hand.

Seeing Ye You finishing a leaf, Qin Sisi smiled contentedly and continued, "For the remaining two, one for each of us."

"I only need one leaf. You can eat both of the remaining ones." Ye You imdiately refused Qin Sisi’s suggestion.

Qin Sisi rolled her eyes, "If you don’t eat, then I won’t eat either."

Ye You looked deeply into Qin Sisi’s eyes for a mont, then lowered his head and ate one leaf.

Only then did Qin Sisi pick up the final leaf and slowly swallowed it.

Although it was only a piece of grass and had lost quite a lot of its Spiritual Energy, it was indeed effective. Qin Sisi genuinely felt her body wasn’t as exhausted as before.

Carrying Ye You in her arms, sitting on the dusty heated platform with her back against the wall, Qin Sisi slowly closed her eyes.

Leaving Wang City safely after dawn won’t be easy. She needed to rest as much as she could—the better her physical condition, the greater her chances of success.

The sky in the east gradually lit up. The morning sun shone onto the earth, bathing the dilapidated, abandoned cabin in the gentle sunlight. It seed as if a golden halo was cast over it.

Qin Sisi was in a drowsy sleep when suddenly, a series of ssy and urgent footsteps reached her ears.
