Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 998: Little Angel’s Promotion

“What do you mean?”

“If we send out the team to bring down Ye Ling, he would be at a loss. We would definitely succeed. Why did you have to change the topic and affect Master’s judgement?”

Yang Lihua laughed coldly. “Ye Ling cannot be defeated so easily. I saved your life. You should be grateful to me.”

Monica threw Shen Qianshu an equipment bag.

“Carry it.”

Shen Qianshu weighed it. Damn, this is at least 20 kg.

“What’s this?”

“We are going hunting in the woods. On the way, we will teach you some basic survival skills as well. Carry it on.”

Shen Qianshu’s eyes lit up. There was a forest behind the island. It was really thick.

If she had the opportunity, she could definitely escape.

Maxi made eye contact with Monica, and they carried their equipment before the three of them headed into the woods.

Behind a building, a few youths gathered around observing them as the three of them went away.

One of them asked, “Want revenge?”

“Do you mean to meet them in the woods?”

“Monica and Maxi are indeed impressive, but Shen Qianshu is just a newbie. She is not even familiar with the landforms in the woods. Once she enters the forest, she no longer has a say in her life and death.”

“You are right. Monica and Maxi will not be by her side all the time. Having one or two people dead in the woods is nothing special.”

“Then what are we waiting for?”

The few people gathered and packed their equipment quickly.

Shen Qianshu followed Maxi and Monica as they trekked into the forest via a small path. Along the way, she observed the environment in the forest. The temperature was very high, and many of the creatures living on the island were natural. It was all about the survival of the fittest.

Venomous snakes, bugs, and scorpions were not uncommon.

Shen Qianshu stepped on the thick layer of fallen leaves, and she was afraid that a snake might jump out at her. She was very careful and paranoid.

Monica and Maxi headed straight into the woods.

The sound of the waves vanished gradually.

Shen Qianshu was behind Monica and Maxi by a few steps. She kept trying to find an opportunity to escape from them. As long as she made it to the seaside, she might find a speedboat and leave this island.

Maxi said, “Follow us loyally. Don’t have any other thoughts. If you want to leave this place, you either become Black Rose or you wipe them out.”

“Do you have eyes on the back of your head?” Shen Qianshu cursed. She did not even say anything.

“It’s not hard to predict your thoughts,” Maxi said.

Other than the sound of animals, the forest was really silent.

Maxi and Monica picked a highland. They taught Shen Qianshu some basic survival skills in the woods, and they also taught her how to identify the different kinds of plants, especially the poisonous ones. For Shen Qianshu, this was knowledge that she really needed to catch up on learning.

“Young lady, what have you been learning for the past 15 years?”

You are really so knowledgeable.

“Kill. Escape,” Monica said. “They gave us a large sum of money and taught me how to escape and survive. They also taught me how to kill.”

Shen Qianshu gave her a thumbs-up. “You and I are indeed from different worlds.”

“There’s a fruit tree.” Shen Qianshu saw a tree with many ripe fruits on it. They looked really fresh, and they gave off a very fresh aroma. The fruits looked like peaches, yet they did not really seem like it. It had very smooth and shiny skin, and it was very hard and firm.

“Is this poisonous?”

Under the tree, there was a pile of fruit shells.

It seems like someone had eaten them.

It should be edible.

“Eat it,” Maxi said. “Other than eating, what else do you like?”

Shen Qianshu plucked a fruit. “My son.”

She bit into it, but she could not bite it open. Monica said, “You need to open it with a knife.”

Monica also picked a few fruits and placed them into her bag. Shen Qianshu took out a knife to cut open the fruit. The flesh was snow-white like mangosteens. The flesh came in cloves, and it was really fresh and sweet. They could not take their hands off of it.

Maxi said, “You can’t eat too much of this thing. You will get thirsty.”

The group of people left this territory.

Twenty minutes later, four youths approached the fruit tree carefully. One of them reached up to signal for them to keep quiet. She squatted down and examined the fruit shells. “Is there forest training today?”

One of them shook their head. “There is no forest training today.”

“It’s them. Walk here.”

The few of them were camouflaged. They followed the trail of Monica and the others carefully.

Shen Qianshu sharpened a piece of wood and under the guidance of Maxi, she made an arrow.

Maxi asked, “Do you know how to shoot an arrow?”

“Pull the bow and release the arrow. It’s very simple,” Shen Qianshu said.

Monica said, “Yeah, I love your confidence!”

The three of them hid in hawthorn and waited for their prey. After waiting for almost ten minutes, a small squirrel came. Maxi said, “Shoot it.”

“It’s so cute,” Shen Qianshu said, lowering her voice to prevent herself from disturbing the small animal. “How could you bear to?”

The small squirrel lifted its head, and it was chewing something in its mouth. Occasionally, it looked up. Its innocent eyes peered around its surroundings.

Maxi said, “Sis, believe me. It won’t die. You won’t hit it.”

Shen Qianshu humphed coldly. “Who are you underestimating?”

She had played with bows and arrows at amusement parks.

She was basically an expert shooter. Every shot was accurate.

She had won a lot of pig plush toys.

She lowered her body, pulled the bow, and released it. Yet, the arrow fell into the grass softly. It was greatly contrasting from how god-like she had expected herself to be. Shen Qianshu was a little disappointed.

“Tsk.” Monica uttered.

“Do you think I won’t realize that you are mocking me just because you aren’t saying anything?”

The small squirrel was shocked. It jumped into the grass, and Shen Qianshu tried to save her ego. “At least I scared it.”

“Oh. The small squirrel is so afraid!”

The three of them dissed each other as they changed their location. Gradually, Shen Qianshu found some fun.

After preying on the small squirrel for forty minutes, they finally shot it. Shen Qianshu looked really pained. She could not help but recite some religious chants. “Amitabha. Precious one, if you cannot leave in peace after your death, don’t come for me. Go to them.”

“... ” Monica stared at Shen Qianshu.

“... ” Maxi stared at Shen Qianshu.

Monica said, “Let’s go. Stop acting weird. You are going to be the squirrel soon.”

Shen Qianshu realized something. Monica and Maxi had been bringing her around in circles. They shot arrows back and forth, yet they ended up at the same place. Her poor sense of direction had been half-corrected by Monica and Maxi’s intensive training.

“Is someone following us?”

Maxi raised her brows. “Amazing.”

Monica said, “You finally have eyes.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Damn, it’s a deep and old forest filled with animal callings. I don’t have eyes on the back of my head. How would I know if we are being followed? Who? Is that group of silly rascals after my life?”

“Bingo.”

Shen Qianshu bit her lip. That group of teen girls would never let her off no matter what.

Maxi said, “If you don’t kill her, she will kill you.”

“My two sisters, please protect me.”

Monica asked, “Can you have some dignity for yourself?”

Maxi said, “Someone is trying to snipe you down. Come on, tell me. If you want to snipe them down, which place would you choose?”

Shen Qianshu looked at the land formations and picked a high ground. Monica said, “Let’s go. Maxi and I will be your observers. Go up.”
