Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Why Did He Come?

At this moment, for some reason, she felt her eyelids growing heavier and involuntarily covered her mouth, yawning repeatedly. She half-closed her eyes and said, “Brother Dongfang, why am I so sleepy?”

Dongfang Yu gazed at Shang Qing and softly said, “Since you’re sleepy, just sleep…”

As soon as the words were spoken, Shang Qing’s body started to tumble towards the rocks below.

Dongfang Yu moved swiftly at that moment, like a wisp of smoke, arriving beside Shang Qing and catching her. Looking down once more, he thought how wonderful it would be if Gu Qiaoqiao could be as simple-minded as Shang Qing, so he wouldn’t have to exhaust all his clever schemes and waste so much spiritual energy.

Sighing softly, Dongfang Yu gently placed Shang Qing’s body on the grass beside the Purple Orchid, thinking she didn’t seem very comfortable lying like this. He then placed the backpack under her head.

He waved to the distance, “Xiao Bai, come over.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the white cat shot over like a puff of white smoke and squatted beside Shang Qing, meowing several times.

The master has been too mysterious these days.

It’s unclear what he’s been up to, and while it was preoccupied with playing, it didn’t pay attention. Thus, it truly doesn’t know why the master is following him to Cloud Mist Mountain.

Is it really just for this Purple Heart Orchid? Xiao Bai finds it hard to believe.

Dongfang Yu softly instructed, “Xiao Bai, watch over Shang Qing here, don’t go anywhere.”

Xiao Bai looked at the unconscious Shang Qing and nodded.

Not having had the chance to exchange glances with the master, Dongfang Yu leapt down the cliff, striding briskly towards the place where Gu Qiaoqiao and the others were camping.

Minutes later, Dongfang Yu stood before Gu Qiaoqiao’s tent.

The surroundings were very quiet.

Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian spoke softly.

The others appeared to be sleeping soundly.

Dongfang Yu furrowed his eyebrows slightly, flicked his forefinger, and a spirit talisman ignited, soon dissipating like a wisp of smoke into the tent.

Then it landed accurately on Gu Qiaoqiao’s forehead.

Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly snapped her eyes open. Upon waking, she was initially confused, but soon realized a very familiar aura outside the tent—it was Dongfang Yu!

Why was he here?

These thoughts were but a flash in her mind; Gu Qiaoqiao quickly sat up and hurriedly dressed, extending a hand to nudge Xiao Wen beside her, saying urgently, “Sister Xiao Wen, wake up quickly, Dongfang Yu is here…”

However, for some reason, Xiao Wen continued to sleep soundly.

As Gu Qiaoqiao was about to wake Xiao Wen, suddenly, a soft yet threatening voice from Dongfang Yu came from outside the tent, “Gu Qiaoqiao, if you don’t come out, this tent will be crawling with poisonous insects.”

Gu Qiaoqiao halted in her attempt to wake Xiao Wen.

She realized that Xiao Wen’s inability to wake was probably Dongfang Yu’s doing, though she wasn’t sure how, and Gu Qiaoqiao truly didn’t have a talisman in her mind to dispel this sleeping state.

Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that Dongfang Yu always did what he said.

This was springtime; the mountains and forests were full of poisonous insects. Although they couldn’t compare to those in the south, some were still highly toxic.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t dare to take risks.

Inside the tent, along with Xiao Wen, was An Xiaotong.

She let go of Xiao Wen’s hand and no longer tried to wake her.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly dressed and put on her shoes, then unzipped the tent, and in an instant, she stood before Dongfang Yu.
