Chapter 336: Something Queer About the Beast Essence

Back then, Lu Wenshu would always address Bai Luochu as 'Ah Chu' affectionately. When she asked why he addressed her as Ah Chu, Lu Wenshu smiled and replied, "'Chu' is a word that has a wonderful meaning. I hope that our feelings for each other will never change."

A long time later, Bai Luochu came across a poem, "No matter how blissful the first encounter, everything disappears with the autumn wind."

This poem was like the prophecy predicting her miserable outcome when Lu Wenshu betrayed her.

Bai Luochu shoved Lu Wenshu away and snapped, "Young Master Lu please mind your conduct."

Lu Wenshu was depressed. He felt that the ravine between him and Bai Luochu wasn't something he could fill in a short period of time. When the scene of Lu Wenshu hugging Bai Luochu entered Pei Rumo's eyes, he felt a strange feeling well up in his heart.

Pei Rumo felt that the flame of jealousy in his heart was about to turn him into ashes. He immediately criticized Lu Wenshu, "I didn't know that Young Master Lu had such a great relationship with Divine Physician Bai! No matter how close you are, shouldn't Divine Physician Bai be the one to initiate the hug?"

When he heard Pei Rumo's scolding, Lu Wenshu frowned. It seemed like Bai Luochu was just as attractive as she was in her past life. Pei Qingfeng had already fallen for her... Now, Pei Rumo was the second prince to fall for her.

Lu Wenshu naturally knew that Pei Rumo was jealous and he quickly replied, "What is the First Prince saying? I spent so much time looking for both of you and I was only unable to control my actions because of the relief I felt."

Heh... unable to control your actions... Pei Rumo mocked Lu Wenshu in his heart. When he turned to look at his exhausted soldiers, he immediately praised, "This prince is truly grateful for everyone's help. When we return after the triumphant campaign, I shall request for Emperor Father to raise everyone's rank in the military. Since everyone is tired, we shall set up camp here. Rest for a day and we shall depart at dawn tomorrow."

Bai Luochu had to admit that Pei Rumo was a person with great management skills, otherwise, it was impossible for him to have so many subordinates and soldiers at such a young age.

When the soldiers heard Pei Rumo's words, they immediately knelt down and thanked the First Prince for his favor. After all, Lu Wenshu had treated them like a group of animals during the rescue mission. It seemed as though their master was the better person.

Bai Luochu led a few of the soldiers who didn't look too tired to gather some wild fruits. They went out to hunt some small animals for food. Even though the meal was a little crude, a joyous and harmonious atmosphere filled the air. Of course, everyone was enjoying themselves other than the three people in the main tent.

"Luo Chu, you can have this rabbit's thigh." Pei Rumo tore the thigh from the roasted rabbit and handed it to Bai Luochu.

On the other side, Lu Wenshu tore out the other thigh and handed it over to her.

Bai Luochu could see the open contest between the two of them. Since she couldn't accept one without offending the other, she ripped the head off the rabbit. "I... don't like to eat meat. Gnawing on bones is good enough."

She never expected for the both of them to snap off the ribs of the rabbit after the words left her mouth. She had no choice but to say that she was already full. Before long, she returned to her tent and left Lu Wenshu and Pei Rumo alone.

Bai Luochu could only endure the feeling of hunger for the entire night.

Early the next morning, the army departed. After climbing the cliff and resting for a short while, they headed straight for the Desolate Region.
