When Yun Chujiu started to act pitiful, the boys found that they were unable to bear the sight.
Yun Chushi 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 tit 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!
The wind blade from the gray rabbit was very sharp. It managed to cut off a twig that was about the breadth of a finger.
Yun Chulu and Yun Chuba jumped out, and two of them started to fight with the gray rabbit.
Yun Chujiu found this incredibly interesting. Those from the First Level in Spirit Refinement Realm to the Third Level in Spirit Refinement Realm could not release their spiritual energy yet. The only thing better about them compared with normal humans was that they were more agile. Those at the Fourth Level in Spirit Refinement Realm could release their spiritual energy to launch attacks, and they could make a shield with their spiritual energy to protect themselves.
Yun Chulu was at the Third Level in Spirit Refinement Realm while Yun Chuba was at the Second Level in Spirit Refinement Realm. Neither could release their spiritual energy, but fortunately, the gray rabbit needed some time to gather its power before it could spit out its wind blade. So, both of them could still handle the rabbit with their nimble movements.
After half an hour, the gray rabbit became a dead rabbit. With a heroic air, Yun Chuba spoke to Young Jiu, "Young Jiu, did you see how capable I was? I'll take care of you in the future!"
Yun Chujiu put on an admiring look. "Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, you're both awesome!"
"Hmph! You're so ignorant! It's just a first-tier Wind-Blade Rabbit, I can kill it alone. What's so amazing about that?" Yun Chuqi sneered by the side.
Yun Chujiu rolled her eyes in her heart. 'Is Yun Chuqi's zodiac sign a hedgehog or something?'
Yun Chuba was naturally unwilling to accept what she said, so he started to argue with Yun Chuqi again.
Yun Chuyi's expression darkened. "Chuqi, Chuba, if both of you keep causing a ruckus, go home!"
Yun Chuqi and Yun Chuba glared at each other. They stopped talking, and they looked rather ashamed of themselves.
Everyone continued to walk further into the forest. They met some monsters back to back, but those were just first-tier monsters.
Yun Chujiu never really realized just what kind of strange world she had come to in the past. But since she saw a rabbit spitting out a wind blade, a pheasant whose feathers could become arrows, and a squirrel that could spit fireballs, she felt like she had finally uncovered a corner of this world.
These first-tier monsters may have had their special abilities, but there was a gap between each time they could use their abilities. Therefore, although the disciples of the Yun family suffered from some superficial wounds, they could still handle the monsters. In a while, the guards had held quite a number of spoils in their hands.
Very soon, it was noon. The group efficiently prepared the prey and started to roast the meat.
Yun Chujiu's eyes sparkled. She kept her eyes fixed on the sizzling meat, and she could not look away.
"Such a big eater! You glutton!" Yun Chuqi glared fiercely at Yun Chujiu.
"Seventh Sister, are you desperate to get closer to me?" Yun Chujiu's gaze finally moved from the roasted meat to Yun Chuqi.
"Get closer to you? You're thinking too highly of yourself! Trash—"
"Stop! Since you don't want to get closer to me, then stop placing your attention on me. You just keep talking about me, you know? So I thought you really wanted to attract my attention!" Yun Chujiu schooled her face and cast a profound glance at Yun Chuqi.
Yun Chuqi subconsciously felt a little scared. She thought that Yun Chujiu's eyes were even sharper than those of the monsters, so she told Yun Chujiu that she was just running her mouth off, albeit in an abashed manner. Then, she went off to search for Yun Chushan.
Finally, the world around her became quiet, and the meat was also done.
Yun Chujiu was not afraid of being scalded. She grabbed the rabbit leg that Yun Chuyi passed to her and started to munch on it.
"Yum! Yummy! Delishious! It tasthes sho good!" Yun Chujiu was extremely happy. 'This monster meat tastes much better than normal meat. It's so fresh and tender, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry! It's a true delicacy!'
While Yun Chu was eating happily, Yun Chuyi shouted, "Hide! A second-tier monster is coming over!"
Yun Chuwu dragged Yun Chujiu to the shrubs at the side to hide. Yun Chujiu was so angry that she glared in anger. 'Why did this friggin' monster have to come NOW?! DAMN IT!'
