Chapter 218: Brother (Part 1)

She wracked her brain, trying to recall the minute details from the book to find the specific reason, her gaze remaining fixed on Lin Feng and Ding Xiaoying, unmoving.

Lin Feng struggled to finish feeding her the water, placed the empty bowl on the bedside table, and finally looked up at Xiao Hua, asking in confusion, "Is something wrong?"

Xiao Hua was snapped back to reality by his voice, her eyes suddenly lighting up, regaining their spark.

Holy crap, she remembered!

Ding Xiaoying willingly followed Dr. Cao's orders because of her younger brother, didn't she?!

Xiao Hua felt a wave of relief; her brother wasn't in Dr. Cao's hands yet, so Ding Xiaoying wasn't under any threat.

Wait...

Her heart tightened again, a sense of foreboding washing over her. She stiffly asked, "Where is her brother now?"

Lin Feng paused, his voice stiff as he replied, "I don't know."

Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua felt a wave of exasperation, utterly speechless. She pressed her finger to her temple and asked helplessly, "Weren't you living with the siblings? How could you not know?!"

"..." Lin Feng murmured, "I was captured after rescuing them, then Xiaoying came back to save me. I escaped to find you all, then rushed back to save Xiaoying."

In short, he had completely forgotten about the brother.

Xiao Hua sneered, "What use are you? Might as well drag you out and chop your head off."

Lin Feng shrunk his neck, staying as quiet as a mouse.

There was no other option; they could only wait for Ding Xiaoying to wake up and learn the exact location of her brother from her.

Thinking about the task ahead, Xiao Hua decided to sit down and rest first, taking out a few crystals from Bai Mu's space to recharge her energy.

It was already noon. Bai Mu took Tang Yi to start a fire and prepare the meal, while directing Xiao Zui to help. In just half an hour, a meal with one meat dish, three vegetable dishes, and a soup was ready.

During the meal, Ding Xiaoying woke up briefly. Xiao Hua seized the chance to ask about her brother Ding Ziang's whereabouts, but before she could offer her food, Ding Xiaoying passed out again.

Xiao Hua had no choice but to fill the bowl with food and place it on the bedside table, waiting for her to wake up and have it.

After lunch, Xiao Hua thought for a moment and decided that only she and Bai Mu would go look for Ding Ziang, hoping for a quick resolution.

"Take care of the patient. We'll be back victorious," she told Su Mo with a slight raise of her eyebrow, then took Bai Mu's left hand with her right and vanished from sight.

Xiao Hua and Bai Mu left the Western-style building, heading for their destination.

By now, Bai Mu's stealth ability had far surpassed the usefulness of his spatial powers.

While having a space was convenient, his stealth ability was far more important, allowing him to both hide and assassinate, greatly enhancing his combat effectiveness.

Moreover, Xiao Hua had a hunch that Bai Mu's level had increased again, likely surpassing hers, because if Bai Mu didn't want to be found, she absolutely wouldn't be able to detect him.

Xiao Hua's curiosity was piqued, and her voice carried over the wind to Bai Mu's ear, "Brother Bai, what level are you now?"

Bai Mu tilted his head, smiling at her, "Early stage of level seven."

"Oh, level seven."

Xiao Hua suddenly froze, realizing the meaning behind the words, her pupils constricting sharply, "Seventh level?!"

Bai Mu's smile widened, and he nodded in affirmation, "Yes."

Xiao Hua suddenly got it and burst out laughing. Taking advantage of their close proximity, she planted a quick kiss on his lips, her voice laced with amusement, "My boyfriend is amazing."

Bai Mu was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting her to do that. He was caught off guard by Xiao Hua's sudden move and took a while to react. He tried to maintain his composure, but his trembling eyelashes and reddened ears betrayed him.

Thinking about the upcoming mission, Xiao Hua felt a tinge of regret and had to give up teasing her boyfriend, turned her head away, trying to stay serious.

Bai Mu pursed his lips, a shadow of disappointment in his dark eyes. He had thought Xiao Hua would continue to kiss him.
