Chapter 30: My Sister is So Cute

A large area of abrasions covered the palm and inner arm.

After resting for a while, Yu Yu started to make a fire.

She piled the branches together and took out a fire starter to ignite it.

After a while, a thick smoke began to rise.

“Cough cough cough.” Yu Yu immediately ran away.

The smoke was choking her; Yu Yu was about to become a delicious smoked fish.

“Cough cough cough.” Lin Zhi, who was nearby, was also choking and had tears streaming down his face.

“Brother, Yu Yu can’t start a fire.” Yu Yu looked at her brother, who was coughing, feeling a bit guilty.

“It’s okay.”

Lin Zhi struggled to sit up and used a piece of bark to fan the fire.

Yu Yu came over to help.

Finally, after their efforts, the fire slowly caught on.

Lin Zhi looked at his little sister. She was too young; he couldn’t let her take care of him. He attempted to stand up, but a sharp pain shot through his leg.

“Yu Yu, help your brother look around for a short white sword nearby.”

His sword should have fallen around here.

“Okay.”

Yu Yu searched for Lin Zhi’s sword nearby.

Finally, she found it in a pile of grass. The white scabbard was inlaid with blue gems, looking cold and precious.

Yu Yu huffed as she carried the short sword to her brother.

Lin Zhi drew his sword and trimmed a larger branch that Yu Yu had picked up to use as a cane, slowly standing up.

Yu Yu wanted to support her brother, but she wasn’t tall enough to reach him with her cane.

“Let’s go gather some branches together,” Lin Zhi called to Yu Yu.

“Okay.”

The siblings gathered some branches together.

Lin Zhi used the short sword to cut several suitable branches for a cane.

After several trips, they finally gathered enough firewood.

Lin Zhi also dug up a few medicinal herbs.

“Yu Yu, help your brother crush the herbs.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Yu Yu picked up a stone and diligently ground the herbs.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

Lin Zhi took off his shirt and applied the herbal juice to his wounds to prevent infection.

The sky gradually darkened.

Lin Zhi looked at Yu Yu.

“Are you scared?”

“Yu Yu is not scared.” Yu Yu shook her head.

Lin Zhi chuckled lightly. She was still young and didn’t understand the dangers of being at the bottom of a cliff at night.

“I just miss Father.” She hadn’t seen him all day.

She wondered if Father missed her.

“You miss your father? It seems you have a good relationship. What kind of person is your father?” Lin Zhi began to probe.

He couldn’t think of how an introverted, sharp-tongued father interacted with a lively and adorable sister.

“Hehe, Father is a proud and good father.” When Yu Yu spoke of her father, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

“Ha ha.” Lin Zhi laughed. Proud? His father had that side?

Yu Yu took out a piece of rice cake and broke half to give to her brother.

The siblings chatted and ate rice cakes together.

At this time, Feng Xiaohan was almost going crazy.

He didn’t know how many times he had called for his daughter.

The system displayed a failed call; it was under maintenance.

A wave of panic surged in Feng Xiaohan’s heart. Would he never see his daughter again?

Had something happened to her?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone a whole day without contacting him. Just yesterday, she told him she wanted to eat lotus root fritters today.

Feng Xiaohan felt rarely flustered.

Something must have happened. What should he do now?

He could do nothing; the only way to contact his daughter was through the system.

Without the system, he wouldn’t even know what situation his daughter was in.

Feng Xiaohan hated this feeling of helplessness the most.

“Your Highness, dinner is ready.” Qing’an entered to report but was taken aback to see the prince sitting in a wheelchair, trembling slightly.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong?” Qing’an crouched down worriedly to ask.

“Yu Yu hasn’t been answering, but I’m powerless to help.” Feng Xiaohan slowly raised his head, his blindfolded eyes seemingly gazing outside.

“I’m just a blind, crippled fool.” He felt utterly useless.

“Your Highness, please don’t think like that.” Qing’an looked at him with concern, soothing him gently.

“The Little Princess might have been delayed by something.”

Feng Xiaohan remained silent and turned his wheelchair toward the study.

Qing’an hurried to push Feng Xiaohan.

On the other side, Yu Yu and her brother were eating the pastries they had brought, and she sighed softly.

“Ah, I told Father that I wanted to eat lotus root fritters today.”

Lotus root fritters are so delicious.

“You can eat them tomorrow,” Lin Zhi comforted her.

“Yes, yes, yes! Yu Yu wants to eat three, no, ten!” Yu Yu imagined the dry pastry in her hand as a lotus root fritter and took a big bite.

“Come a little closer; it’s cold at night,” Lin Zhi said, inviting Yu Yu to snuggle up to him.

“I’m afraid I’ll bump into your wounds,” Yu Yu looked at her brother worriedly.

“It’s fine.”

Yu Yu moved closer, and the siblings huddled together, warming themselves by the fire.

Shanyao and the dark guards were searching for Lin Zhi’s figure in the mountains with torches.

Huahua had not gone to sleep either, keeping a close eye on the system’s repair progress.

Thanks to the hard work of the repair team, the system was finally fixed the next morning.

As soon as the system was repaired, Huahua immediately reconnected with Yu Yu.

[Connection successful.]

[Yu Yu! How are you?] Huahua called out in a hurry.

Yu Yu, cozy beside her brother, was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly startled awake by the voice in her mind.

“Huahua, I’m fine,” Yu Yu replied drowsily.

Hearing her response, Huahua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[The system has been repaired, and you can come back now.]

“What about my brother?”

[Don’t worry; someone will come to get him.]

“Then I’ll wait a little longer.” Yu Yu was still worried about her injured brother.

[Okay, contact me anytime if anything happens.]

Huahua had stayed up all night and felt completely drained. She thought she should catch up on some sleep.

At the bottom of the cliff, Yu Yu and Lin Zhi were finishing the remaining pastries.

“Young Master!”

“Young Master!”

Shanyao’s voice echoed on both sides of the cliff.

Yu Yu stood up to look.

“Brother, is it someone coming to get you?”

“Yes.” Lin Zhi nodded.

It was Shanyao’s voice.

“Then Yu Yu will go first.” Yu Yu shouldered her little backpack.

Lin Zhi looked at his sister.

“Okay, see you in Sangdu.”

“Mmm-hmm.”

Yu Yu used the system to return to the Regent Prince’s Mansion.

“Father!” Yu Yu called out in a sweet voice.

I wonder if Father has finished court.

“Where have you been?” Feng Xiaohan’s voice trembled as he reproached his daughter.

“I went to save a brother yesterday,” Yu Yu explained, running to her father’s side.

“What happened to your forehead?” Feng Xiaohan noticed the bump on her forehead.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yu immediately looked at her father with a pitiful expression.

“Yu Yu tripped over a rock and fell.”

“Qing’an, bring in the medicinal wine.” Feng Xiaohan held his daughter close, feeling heartbroken.

“Understood.”

Qing’an brought in the medicinal wine.

“Your Highness… Little Princess!” Qing’an exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Yu Yu.

“Brother Qing’an.” Yu Yu happily called out.

“Qing’an, give the princess a bath first.” Feng Xiaohan looked at his daughter, who was dirty.

Let’s wash her before applying the medicinal wine.

“Yes.” Qing’an picked up Yu Yu to help her wash up.

After a fragrant bath, Yu Yu changed into a pink embroidered top and a matching golden pleated skirt.

“Brother Qing’an, Yu Yu wants to wear that pink skirt.” Yu Yu pointed to a light pink gauzy skirt in the wardrobe.

“Little Princess, that’s sweet, but it’s rainy and cold today. That skirt is for summer; it’s already autumn, so we should wear something thicker.” Qing’an gently coaxed her.

“It won’t be comfortable if you catch a cold.”

“This one is also very beautiful.” Qing’an held Yu Yu in front of a copper mirror.

Yu Yu spun around in front of the mirror a couple of times, thinking this one looked nice too.

“I want to show Father.” Yu Yu instantly forgot about her desire to wear the little skirt and ran to show her father her new clothes.

“Father, look at Yu Yu’s new clothes!” Yu Yu stood in front of her father, spinning around.

“Looks good.” Feng Xiaohan nodded, a proud expression on his face.
