The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 21: Born towards the sun, follow the light

Qin Nuo's heart tightened when he heard these words, and a wave of sadness washed over him. He gently patted Bai Nini's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Sister Nini, please accept my condolences. Although the pain of losing a loved one is hard to describe, I believe their spirits will always be with you."

Bai Nini turned around and smiled at Qin Nuo, a smile that revealed a sense of strength and relief. She continued, "Actually, I was still very young at that time, and I don't remember much about my parents. The only thing they left me was a diary, but it has become a precious treasure in my life."

Bai Nini whispered: "In that diary, they wrote: 'Nini, mom and dad hope you will live facing the sun and follow the light!' This sentence has always inspired me to move forward and made me understand that no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks are, I must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude to face life." After that, Bai Nini once again cast her gaze towards the distant mountains, as if she had drawn endless strength from there.

Qin Nuo carefully moved his body, bit by bit, closer to Bai Nini, and finally sat down next to her. He lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing something, and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, everything will gradually get better in the future. It will get super good, explosively good, and invincible!"

Hearing this, Bai Nini, who had been feeling somewhat melancholy, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her smile was as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring. She shook her head gently and said, "I'm afraid only you could say such words! But... never mind. Let's not think about it anymore. Let's just go home!" With that, Bai Nini stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Nuo quickly reached for the branch Bai Nini was holding and neatly placed it alongside another he had just found. Then, he inadvertently spotted a sturdy green plant beside him and grabbed it. However, at that moment, a sharp, burning pain spread rapidly through his palm like an electric current, causing him to gasp.

"It hurts! What the hell is this thing!" Qin Nuo's face was twisted in pain, his mouth stretched to his ears, and he was gasping for breath and jumping around like a monkey!

"What's wrong with you? Oh my! Did you touch some nettle? It bites very painfully!" Seeing this, Bai Nini hurried forward, looked at Qin Nuo in astonishment, shook her head helplessly, and sighed heavily!

At that moment, Qin Nuo felt as if his hands were being pierced by thousands of tiny needles. The searing pain spread from his arms throughout his body, making it unbearable. Uncontrollably, tears streamed down his cheeks as he cried out, "Sister Nini! Are you saying... I was bitten by a piece of grass?"

Bai Nini shook her head helplessly, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. "Nettle is truly a magical plant! Its emerald green stems and thick roots are densely covered with tiny, sharp stinging hairs. Whether it's a human or other animal, the slightest touch will cause these stinging hairs to immediately release a substance called formic acid. This acid is extremely irritating and can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin, causing a piercing pain accompanied by unbearable itching. It feels like being in a raging fire, being mercilessly burned!"

Hearing this, Qin Nuo's face turned pale with fear, and tears rolled down his eyes uncontrollably. He covered the stung area with his hand and wailed in pain, "Oh my God! What should I do? I have to go see a doctor right away!"

Seeing Qin Nuo in such a state of distress, Bai Nini quickly picked up the branch in her hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, where can you find a doctor in this desolate mountain? But I do know a way to ease your pain. Come on, I'll take you to a nearby spring for a soak. I think the pain will only last for one night and then you'll be fine!"

However, Qin Nuo obviously didn't want to accept this suggestion. He yelled at the top of his voice: "What? I have to be in pain all night! No, no, I absolutely can't stand this torture!"

Bai Nini couldn't help but roll her eyes at Qin Nuo's reaction and scolded him rudely, "Alright, alright, it's just a few stings from a few blades of grass. Why are you making such a fuss? Go ask around. Who among those living here hasn't experienced being stung by nettle grass? Why are you the only one who's so squeamish?"

Qin Nuo's charming peach blossom eyes were full of grievance and resentment, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He looked at Bai Nini pitifully and muttered softly: "I'm so miserable! You still want to bully me like this!" His look really made people feel pity.

Faced with Qin Nuo's adorable look, Bai Nini's heart softened immediately, and she quickly comforted him softly: "Okay, okay! I didn't bully you! I'll blow on you! Don't worry, it won't hurt soon! I'll make you delicious grilled fish!" Her tone was full of pampering and tenderness.

Qin Nuo saw that she was treating him like a child, so she took his hand and blew on it. A head of soft black hair was in his palm, and Qin Nuo's heart was filled with ripples...

Afterwards, the two returned to the edge of the pond. By then, Mo Yu and his sister had already finished processing all the fish they had just caught.

Bai Nini deftly piled up a pile of dry firewood, selected a few branches of moderate thickness, and carefully threaded the fish through them. Then, she took various seasonings from a small cloth bag and evenly smeared them on the fish. She then placed it over the blazing campfire and began to grill it intently.

Not too long had passed before the originally silvery-white fish had been roasted until it turned golden all over, as if covered with a layer of dazzling golden gauze. An extremely rich and mouth-watering aroma emanated continuously from the roasted fish.

Qin Nuo couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes fixed on the tempting grilled fish. He couldn't wait to ask Nini beside him, "Sister Nini! When can we eat this fish? I can't hold back my greed!"

Hearing this, Mo Xing couldn't help but sneer. He looked at Qin Nuo with disdain and said sarcastically, "Hey, you guy, all you do all day is eat! We worked so hard to catch this fish, and even the firewood for the fire was brought back by little darling Nini. And look at you, a grown man with all your limbs, but you're like a loser. You even have to rely on girls to do trivial things like picking up firewood! I don't know if you still have any manliness left!"
