The two cubs went out, and Bai Sichen glanced at Huang Wu, saying, "You go out and watch over them."

Huang Wu, whose name was called, scratched his head and said, "Oh, okay!"

Although he didn't understand why he listened to Bai Sichen so much.

But all morning, no matter what Bai Sichen said, he didn't even have the thought of refuting it, and obediently did everything he was told.

Just like now, he really wanted to ask about Qiao Yaoyao's situation, but when he met Bai Sichen's eyes, which were as black as coal, he hesitated.

He didn't even dare to ask any questions.

Huang Wu walked out of the cave, looked at the stones he had thrown down, and sighed in frustration.

Never mind, he must be doing it because Bai Sichen is Qiao Yaoyao's beast husband.

It wasn't because I was overwhelmed by his aura!

There were only two people left in the house.

Bai Sichen used his divine power to examine Qiao Yaoyao's physical condition. He didn't have the power of a witch doctor and couldn't cure her illness.

However, the divine power of the Dragon Horse Clan is superior to that of ordinary beastmen, which can help them assess a person's physical condition and heal some common external injuries.

After confirming that Qiao Yaoyao was alright, the coldness in his eyes lessened considerably.

He took out a new animal skin mat, spread it on the ground, and sat down with Qiao Yaoyao in his arms.

Looking at Huang San, whose face was both red and blue, he said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Huang San gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and recounted in detail everything that had happened after Saiqi came out.

Bai Sichen frowned slightly, patiently listening to Huang San without interrupting him, before speaking himself.

"You didn't dispose of Hui Jing's body? And you didn't kill Sai Qi either?"

Huang San felt even more ashamed and stopped looking at Bai Sichen altogether; it was just too embarrassing!

He lowered his head. "Hmm, but that's a meadow, and it leads to the forest..."

"Okay, I understand. Go out and help Huang Wu. Make more bowls and basins."

As Bai Sichen spoke, he stood up, picked up Qiao Yaoyao, and walked inside.

Huang San watched Bai Sichen's retreating figure, biting his lower lip in frustration. Bai Sichen had a limp, yet he could still carry Qiao Yaoyao steadily.

Why is he so useless? It's just a stomachache, why can't he hold on until he gets back to the tribe so that Niu Dian can treat him!

***

When Qiao Yaoyao regained consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and found herself lying in her own room.

Huh?

No one?

Huang San couldn't just take her into the house. She had told them that they weren't allowed to enter the water cave without her and Bai Sichen's permission.

What about Bai Sichen?

Qiao Yaoyao was too lazy to think about it anymore. She was a little thirsty, so she sat up from the stone bed.

I planned to take a bottle of water from my backpack and check the time.

She remembered that she met Saiqi and the others at eleven o'clock, and she didn't know what time it was now.

"I go!"

Qiao Yaoyao's hand, which was reaching for the bottle of mineral water in her backpack, froze in mid-air.

She paused for two seconds, put down the bottled water, and carefully examined the backpack.

She turned the backpack over several times with her mind, and she was absolutely certain.

The backpack has been upgraded again!

However, this time it wasn't as obvious as last time.

Last time, the backpack had an extra layer of space, but this time, the backpack was only widened next to the extra space.

In other words, what was previously a 120*45 rectangle has now become a 120*60 wide strip.

If it weren't for the few things she had placed in the space, it would have become noticeably more spacious.

Since she only ever sees the front of her backpack, it's probably impossible to spot her at a glance.

She turned her backpack to the side.

Judging from its appearance alone, the backpack still looks like a bulging, proper bag.

But she was aware that she could see the backpack's contents directly through it.

The extra space on the highest level of the entire side is significantly wider than the space below.

Upgrading would be great; it's her trump card for a happy life here in the future.

Qiao Yaoyao happily took out her watch. Hmm, it was past 4 pm.

However, as she reviewed the situation and upgraded her backpack twice, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Although the amount of data that can be verified is limited, we can still find some patterns from the similarities between the two cases.

He used his divine power to save someone, then fainted. When he woke up, his backpack had been upgraded...

Qiao Yaoyao took out some dried meat and nuts, ate them with the mineral water, and sighed. She hoped that the upgrade had nothing to do with her fainting. She felt no pressure to save people, after all, she was someone who wanted to eat witch doctor pancakes.

She also wants to ask Niu Dian why she always faints every time she saves someone!

However, when she woke up, apart from being a little thirsty, she felt fine and even more energetic than before.

She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for the time being, but she longed to become stronger. The more powerful her trump cards were, the better she could survive here.

Having made up her mind, Qiao Yaoyao took out the leftover jerky and nuts, crushed them, wrapped them in a leaf, and put them in her spatial storage. She then poured out the mineral water and waited for her backpack to refresh.

Then he wiped his mouth and went outside.

She was going to find Niu Dian and conduct several experiments on those patients to thoroughly confirm the conditions for upgrading the backpack, and then look for patterns in the size of each upgrade.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Bai Sichen, who popped his head out of the cellar.

"You're awake? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

When Bai Sichen saw her, he shrank back, having already extended his shoulder slightly.

Only his handsome face remained, suspended at the cellar entrance, watching her.

Looking at Bai Sichen's cautious demeanor, Qiao Yaoyao first reflected on herself, and then confirmed that she had not provoked him.

So what is this person afraid of and wary of?

However, Qiao Yaoyao didn't want to delve into it. She understood that men with limps are prone to feeling inferior and sensitive.

Sigh, you can't help but understand, after all, if she doesn't admit it, the blame for the person's limp is still on her head.

Qiao Yaoyao gave a kind smile. "Yes, I'm fine now, but I have something I want to ask my senior brother, so I'm planning to go out for a bit. Do you need my help to get something from the cellar?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps toward Bai Sichen.

But as she moved, Bai Sichen shrank back a little further, showing no obvious reaction, but his lowered eyes clearly showed his resistance. "No need, I can do it myself."

"Thank you," Bai Sichen said, seemingly afraid that Qiao Yaoyao would be angry. After saying that, he added this sentence.

Qiao Yaoyao stopped immediately, tilting her head to look at Bai Sichen, whose face had almost sunk to one side.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her feelings for Bai Sichen were different, and she couldn't bear to make Bai Sichen uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll go out first. Be careful. If you need anything, ask Huang Wu and the others for help." Qiao Yaoyao changed the direction of her toes and walked outside.

Seeing Qiao Yaoyao emerge from the water cave, Bai Sichen instantly raised his head and leaped up.

She landed by the pool and quickly washed the blood off her body.

Fortunately, Qiao Yaoyao was sensible and didn't try to get close, otherwise he might have really attacked her and knocked her unconscious.

He doesn't want that woman to know his strength for the time being.

When he arrived, the bear-like beast was with three stray animals...

Thinking of that unbearable scene, Bai Sichen irritably splashed water on himself even faster.
