I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 813: Chapter 743: Deep in the Mountain Forest

At the beginning, even breathing was painful. I could only numb myself, telling myself it would be better the next second, but it still hurt. There wasn’t a single part of my body that didn’t ache.

But at least now, she can sit up, can’t she?

At least she thinks she can get better.

Back then, catching fish was a miracle for Bai Zhi at that moment. It truly was a miracle because, despite the pain, catching those fish was purely instinctual.

Born out of an instinct to survive.

Otherwise, she simply wouldn’t have had the strength, right?

Grandpa and the others were still waiting for her.

Now that she can stand up, of course she can go and have a look at what lies on the other side of the cave.

Bai Zhi knows she can survive. It is because this place eventually gave her a bit of a gift, those fish slowly repaired her body.

Bai Zhi laughed at herself; actually, she really hadn’t eaten anything raw, and this time could be considered the first time against all odds.

Bai Zhi was very grateful to the Divine Dragon; it allowed her to leave here, to pursue her dreams and go anywhere she wanted.

As long as it’s on this land, she can go. That’s the happiest thing for Bai Zhi.

It’s also the best gift, she’d prepared herself to stay here forever, but being able to leave, to see the world, isn’t that better?

Bai Zhi began heading towards the cave and suddenly turned her gaze towards the peach tree beside her, realizing that this peach tree had saved her life.

Though it wasn’t nutritious, surprisingly, it filled her up.

Bai Zhi didn’t know how much time had passed; now she has to find a way out.

The main gate definitely wouldn’t work, so she could only go deeper inside. Although the Ancestor said this was the only way out, maybe there were other places?

If she didn’t go out and try, she might die here.

So give it a try, Bai Zhi told herself.

…

“What right do you two have to say this? Was it wrong to tell you to eat?”

“Bai Da, who told you to come? Get back! Did I let you come?”

Bai Da was scolded so harshly he couldn’t lift his head.

Many people saw what happened that day. Although they didn’t see what occurred on the mountain, everyone saw the golden dragon in the dark night.

Later the government told them it was a movie being filmed, that it was a special effect, but who really believed that?

Many people began climbing the mountain, maybe this place would become somewhere everyone could come in the future.

He and Ye Xiu secretly followed Bai Xiang; the journey was particularly embarrassing.

Xingxing was here, they were certain of it, yet they hadn’t seen her return. It was only upon arriving that they knew she was trapped inside.

At that moment, they all broke down.

In the past, they thought that even if Xingxing suffered, she’d be fine later on, they felt guilt, but how deep it truly was, no one knows. How could Ye Xiu have done such a thing? But now…

She was especially panicked and frightened, scared that Xingxing would never come back.

Before, she hurt Xingxing so much because she knew Xingxing had Grandpa, but now there’s nothing.

Is Xingxing okay being all alone inside?

Bai Da felt the same; he hated himself to death.

“Dad, I just really hate myself. Back then I couldn’t recognize my daughter, I hurt her, and now I can’t do anything for her. Dad, I really hate myself, truly.

Let me stay, let me stay. Let me watch over this place. Join you in your efforts, okay? If a day isn’t enough, then a month, if a month isn’t enough, then a year, I have to be here to personally bring Xingxing back.”

Bai Da was earnest, more than ever. He would save Xingxing at all costs.

“Unnecessary. Before, you treated her worse than an outsider, why pretend to be a good person now?”

Bai Dan said this, but didn’t force them to leave.

Initially, they could still hide it from Bai Xin, but after a month without Xingxing visiting, Bai Xin immediately felt something must have happened, otherwise Xingxing wouldn’t act like this.

When she reached the village, she found no one at home. She heard Xingxing had been away for a month, her heart sank, and she quickly called her dad, only to find him out of service.

Bai Xin panicked, extremely anxious. If Great Grandpa hadn’t told her that Xingxing was recuperating, she might have rushed up the mountain already.

Bai Da and the others tried every day to come up with solutions, and finally decided to dig by hand.

Even though machines couldn’t reach or control the force, they were different. So the group prepared each day to start digging at the gate.

…

Bai Zhi didn’t know how long she had been walking; unexpectedly, the tunnel had glowing grass. Bai Zhi continued walking and walking, until one day at noon she saw the exit.

She was stunned upon reaching the exit.

Because the opening was small, and shrouded by some unknown force; she was out of energy and the peaches were gone.

If she doesn’t find food, she’ll starve.

Finally, she found the place, only to realize it was just a piece of transparent stone. Bai Zhi quickly began searching and finally found the exit.

Standing under the sun once more, Bai Zhi felt immense joy.

And it was that very day when Bai Da and the others woke up to prepare again for their digging.

They couldn’t find the mountain gate anymore.

The area around the treehouse was completely enveloped in thick fog. At that moment, they felt an ominous feeling, like something was about to happen.

Walking into the fog, they found themselves back at the same spot over and over.

“What’s going on!” Bai Da looked on in panic at the scene, if they couldn’t find the mountain gate, what about Xingxing, what about Xingxing.

Now their days were filled with digging, eating, and sleeping. Digging, an endless cycle.

In the current situation, what exactly are they supposed to do?

“Xingxing, Xingxing!”

Bai Dan, also bewildered, looked at the situation in horror. The Ancestor gravely observed the scene before finally speaking.

“That place has vanished. The records said, once we’ve completed our protective duty, this Divine Mountain would disappear and never be found by anyone again.”

Moh Li and Xu Yan naturally found it hard to believe, repeatedly trying to enter and exit each time.

They knew Xingxing was not far away, yet it was as if something blocked them, preventing them from ever reaching her.

They knew Xingxing was right there, just there.

…

Bai Zhi immediately began foraging for food in the forest, finally finding a wild chicken, which she caught and roasted to eat.

After satisfying her hunger and thirst, Bai Zhi found the largest tree, and frantically climbed upwards, continually climbing.

Finally reaching the highest point, she looked down…

“Why are you climbing so high?”

At Bai Zhi’s turnaround, she saw a boy wearing a down jacket.

A down jacket!

Only wealthy families could afford that. “I just wanted to ask, where is this place?”

“Deep in the mountains and forests…”

Bai Zhi “…” She knew that, for sure.
