Dear Commander-in-Chief

Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat!

Although she was worried that Gong Jue had not returned, how could she be so selfish and let Chu Junmo go alone to find medicine for them? She was not that muddle-headed.

“Brother Chu, you can’t!”She resolutely stopped him. “You helped me defeat Black Satan just now. He hates you to the bone. If you run into his people and you don’t have a companion to look after you, it’ll be too dangerous!”

“Him? I’ve never been afraid of him.”Chu Junmo smiled faintly.

Gu Qiqi shook his head. “I don’t want any mishaps to happen. Don’t leave. Stay with our team and walk out of the forest maze together, okay?”

Chu junmo still wanted to persist, but when he heard the words “Don’t leave”, he finally wavered.

Although he knew that Gu Qiqi was only asking him to stay because he was worried about his safety, he would rather understand it as an affectionate reluctance to part.

He wanted to make himself believe that he still had a place in her heart.

Therefore, he nodded in the end. “Alright. I’ll listen to you.”

Gu Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief. While instructing Lisa to continue brewing medicine for Chu junmo to nourish his qi and blood, he continued to study the coordinates on the map.

They had already circled the surroundings of the medicinal forest. Other than the five forks that they had yet to take, they had already walked most of the way.

When Gong Jue returned, they would explore the forks again. If they really did not have the black spirit ginseng, they would not waste any more time.

Her gaze swept across the map and inadvertently took a few more glances at the place marked as a forbidden area with a bright red fork and a black skull.

The valley of Death!

After they left the cold valley and walked past the waterfall, they were quite close to the valley of death before they reached the medicine palace.

Out of nowhere, a voice seemed to be calling out to her, drawing her attention to that area.

What was going on?

Were people born to explore dangerous places?

Gu Qiqi chuckled to herself and continued to study the map.

Beside her, Lisa exclaimed, “A bear! What a cute black bear!”

Not far away, a silly black bear was walking slowly in the forest. Its thick paws were clinging onto a tree branch as it looked over timidly.

It looked very silly!

Lisa and Xiao Ning were the exact opposite. They were naturally fond of furry animals. What’s more, it was rare to meet a cute black bear in this cold valley full of ferocious beasts, she was a little excited. “I guess it wants to eat our cherries, but it doesn’t dare to come over! Young Master Ye, can I give it some cherries?”

Gu Qiqi smiled. “En. I’ll go with you.”

However, Chu Junmo stood up. “You two girls... Cough Cough, let me go over.”

He wasn’t sure if Lisa knew that Gu Qiqi’s real body was a girl, so he stopped halfway through his words.

Although the black bear was dangerous, Gu Qiqi knew that if she stopped Chu Junmo again, it would hurt a man’s pride too much.

He was not so sick that he could not even deal with a bear.

Chu junmo carried half a basket of cherries to feed the black bear. As soon as he left, Lisa jumped up again with a scream. “Young Master Ye, there are some here too!”

On the other side, in the hazel bushes, they poked their heads out as if they were staring at the remaining half a basket of cherries and drooling. weren’t those two equally silly black bears?

Gu Qiqi facepalmed. It seemed that Lisa’s wish to feed the bears this time must be fulfilled.

“Let’s go.”Carrying the basket, she walked with Lisa to the two bears.
