Chapter 3262: I’ll Just Take It One Step at a Time

“I’ll just take it one step at a time.”

Ning Shu wasn’t too worried; it wasn’t her business anyway. She kept her distance since it was Mei Ziqing’s own task.

Interfering too much would probably make things worse.

Ning Shu released her spiritual consciousness to avoid being caught off guard by moon beasts rushing in unnoticed.

She sensed many hidden people nearby—obviously guards sent by Mei Ziqing’s father.

Ning Shu released more spiritual consciousness, covering a wider area.

She detected a small figure holding a dagger, stabbing a moon beast repeatedly.

The moon beast was already dead; each stab caused blood to splash onto the boy’s face.

The boy’s eyes were hidden in darkness; his mouth curled in a smile, revealing a sharp tooth as he stabbed again and again.

Ning Shu raised her eyebrows—why was this boy here?

Could he be following them?

The boy’s body was that of a five-year-old, though no one knew what he had gone through to become darkened.

He had chosen to fall.

This child was a weapon full of all negative energy.

Hatred, cruelty, paranoia, slaughter…

Ning Shu suspected this child was targeting her.

The boy seemed tired, stood up, the dagger dripping blood, and smiled in Ning Shu’s direction.

He giggled like an innocent child.

Ning Shu withdrew her spiritual consciousness. Whether or not the boy was following her,

He would definitely get a spanking.

Mei Ziqing ladled a bowl of soup for Ning Shu. Ning Shu drank the meat soup, which tasted excellent.

After eating, Ning Shu was about to climb onto a tree to rest.

Crossbow Lar reached out and lifted Ning Shu high up.

Crossbow Lar: So light…

Ning Shu lowered her head. Crossbow Lar looked up, their eyes met, Crossbow Lar’s face flushed, and in one swift motion lifted Ning Shu onto a tree branch.

Ning Shu sat on the branch, feeling a bit sore on her bottom.

Crossbow Lar climbed up the tree and sat facing Ning Shu, saying, “Nicole, you should eat more. You’re too light.”

Ning Shu said, “I’m young, it would be strange if I were heavy.”

“Your arms are so thin. Eat more from now on.” Crossbow Lar looked at the tent below. “Isn’t your friend rich? Then mooch more food from them.”

Ning Shu: …

Crossbow Lar’s style seemed a bit off—such a straightforward kid was telling her to shamelessly mooch food.

“I’ll kill more moon beasts and sell their cores to buy you good food,” Crossbow Lar said. “For now, you can only mooch off your friend.”

“Hey, I can hear you.” Mei Ziqing, by the fire, looked up and said towards the tree.

Ning Shu couldn’t help laughing. “Even if we kill moon beasts, I’m the one taking you. What you eat isn’t important; staying alive is.”

“Oh, I see. I heard people say humans have strong desires like wealth, supreme power, and supreme strength. Nicole, what do you want?” Crossbow Lar asked.

Ning Shu swung her legs and tapped her chin with a finger. “I have to think. For now, nothing. For us struggling for three meals a day with no place to stay, talking about wealth and power is way too far off.”

“We’ll talk about the future later.”

Ning Shu lay down and released spiritual consciousness to check where that little devil was now.

Within Ning Shu’s spiritual consciousness range, she found the boy killing moon beasts again. The moon beasts were already dead, but he continued to calmly stab them one stab at a time.
