God's Gift

Anthony was kicked awake and immediately prepared for battle. In a daze, he shouted "Who!"

His vision was still a little blurry. Anthony tried to open his eyes wide and saw Lu Keming's cold eyes.

"Master! What's wrong with you?" He suddenly became much more sober and asked anxiously.

Lu Keming rolled his eyes at Anthony and turned his head to look at the campfire.

Anthony was completely confused. He looked around in confusion and asked Yu Youyou next to him in a low voice, "What happened?"

Yu Youyou grinned and answered nonchalantly, "Nothing."

When she opened her mouth, Anthony saw her empty mouth.

Anthony's eyes widened, "Yu Youyou, what's wrong with you?!"

Lu Keming glanced at him coldly, and Anthony felt a chill down his spine and immediately lowered his voice.

"And what's that in your arms?" He pointed at the lively elf in Yu Youyou's arms and continued to ask carefully.

"It's an elf." Yu Youyou replied with a smile, answering Anthony's questions one by one, "The tooth was just knocked out."

"Oh..." Anthony was obviously more interested in Youyou's teeth than the elf in her arms. He said with some regret: "Then you can't eat."

"Why can't I eat?" Yu Youyou looked at Anthony in surprise, unable to believe her ears.

What had she just heard?

Can't eat? Why can't I eat without teeth?

Wouldn't humans die if they don't eat?

Yu Youyou simply couldn't accept what Anthony said. At this moment, she really hoped that Anthony could take back what he said, as if what Anthony said was false.

Poor little fish, it always swallowed its food in one mouthful before, so it had no idea how to chew food with teeth.

"Of course you can't eat meat or hard food, so you can only drink porridge." Anthony shook his head. "Yu Youyou, you should learn how to use nutritional supplements as soon as possible, so that you won't be in trouble even if you lose your teeth."

Such cruel words left Yu Youyou stunned on the spot.

After a long time, Yu Youyou looked at Anthony's serious expression, touched her toothless mouth dully, and her expression gradually became sad.

Anthony didn't expect that his few words would make Yu Youyou, who was still alive and kicking, collapse. He tried to comfort her, "It's okay, Yu Youyou. You won't die as long as the young master is with you."

But this didn't seem to comfort Yu Youyou, and her expression became even more sad.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou’s devastated expression and looked away speechlessly.

It turns out that I was so calm just now because I hadn't thought about the consequences.

After a long time, Yu Youyou fell to the ground in despair, looked at the dark sky, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Wait to die." Yu Youyou opened her leaky mouth and spit out these two words.

Lu Keming was speechless and turned his head away, not wanting to pay any attention to Yu Youyou.

After a while, Anthony looked at Yu Youyou who was lying quietly and asked in a low voice, "Master, is she okay?"

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou and responded indifferently.

"fine."

"Why has Yu Youyou been like this all the time?" Anthony was still a little worried as he looked at Yu Youyou waiting for death peacefully.

Lu Keming listened to the steady breathing beside him and said calmly:

"Fell asleep."

Anthony was silent for a moment.

-

The sky gradually brightened. Lu Keming looked at the white sky in the distance and woke up Yu Youyou.

"Back to the castle."

Yu Youyou responded with a humming sound, barely opened her eyes a crack, and squinted at Lu Keming.

The little white elves in her bag were also sleeping soundly.

Lu Keming rubbed his eyebrows, picked up Yu Youyou and walked towards the castle.

After what happened yesterday morning, no one dared to dawdle any longer. They packed up their things and hurried back to the castle, fearing that they would be a step too slow.

When passing by the swamp, Lu Keming looked at the flowers all over the swamp and his steps obviously slowed down for a few seconds.

He lowered his head and looked at Yu Youyou, thoughtfully.

Yu Youyou is still sleeping soundly.

Today the fog in the swamp is particularly thick, the sun has not risen, and the sky is gray and gloomy, as if it is going to rain.

In the mist of the swamp, the flower that had just bloomed last night was covered with dew, and a drop fell into the water.

"These flowers didn't bloom yesterday. What happened?" Shen Minghua stared at the flowers in the swamp with a serious expression.

Lu Keming said nothing and continued walking forward.

A drop of rain fell on my face.

Lu Keming raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and reached out to wipe away the cold rain on his face.

It started to rain again.

Everyone's expressions became serious and they quickened their pace back to the castle. They entered the rooms one by one and locked the doors and windows. Because of yesterday's lesson, they now pulled the curtains tightly.

Lu Keming put Yu Youyou on the bed, locked the door, and walked outside.

"Young Master, I have sent people to the forest, and I think news will be reported back soon." Anthony stood beside Lu Keming and reported the situation to him.

The forest is the only place they have not entered yet. The forest appeared again in Ye Li’s dream yesterday, so Lu Keming sent people into the forest to investigate early.

Lu Keming nodded.

The rain outside the window became heavier, and the water in the swamp rose again, submerging the newly opened flowers. The pink iris flowers floated along the swamp water.

A white trout swam towards the castle.

Outside the castle, its skeleton became deformed and twisted, the green water plants on its scales turned into hair, and it gradually took on a human form.

She stood at the bottom of the castle, her pale eyes looking at the second-floor windows.

All the windows are covered with curtains today.

Her neck was bent back, staring straight up at the top of the castle.

A few minutes later, a white shadow climbed onto the roof and entered a vent.

There was a scratching sound coming from the iron sheet of the vent, and the sound gradually moved towards Yu Youyou's room.

Yu Youyou, who had just been sleeping on the bed, opened her eyes. Her dark eyes looked straight ahead. She lay quietly on her side on the bed without any movement.

There was a sound of something heavy falling from the fireplace behind him.

"It's so cold..." The man in white's bones moved with a creaking sound and his lips moved.

Yu Youyou tilted her head in confusion, sat up from the bed, and turned to look at the fireplace.

The woman in white was soaked and shivering as she sat in the fireplace, her pitiful eyes looking straight at Yu Youyou.

"It's so cold, can I come in please?"

There seemed to be a whirlpool in her eyes, constantly sucking away her consciousness.

"Oh..." Yu Youyou looked at the woman in white for a few seconds, then suddenly realized something and opened her mouth, "Are you cold?"

"I can help you." Yu Youyou turned around enthusiastically, took out a few books from the bookshelf, tore the pages into pieces and threw them into the arms of the woman in white.

The woman in white seemed a little confused as well and looked at Yu Youyou in confusion.

Shouldn't this person let her in?

Yu Youyou was still searching for things everywhere. After a long time, she finally found a kerosene lighter in the drawer. Her eyes lit up and she lit the lighter and threw it into the fireplace.

In an instant, the torn pages quickly caught fire.

Yu Youyou tilted her head and looked at the woman in white with her bright eyes, and there was a hint of naivety in her serious tone.

"This way it won't be cold."

A burning smell emanated from the woman's body. She screamed, twisted her limbs, and climbed up the ventilation duct like a spider, running away quickly.

Yu Youyou touched her chin and looked at the woman in white who was fleeing quickly, seeming a little confused.

Didn’t you say it’s cold?

She crawled into the fireplace, following the slime left by the woman, and climbed up the ventilation duct.
