Chapter 537: Chapter 538: Not Taking Him Anymore
So, after Su Tang entrusted Hua Sheng and Hua Mo to Aunt Hongguo, a few of them went to the cave where Bai Zheng and the others were imprisoned before dawn the next day and brought him out.
Locked up here for a whole winter, his body was covered with scars, his whole person so thin he looked almost skeletal, lacking the spirit and energy he had the first time they had met.
"Hurry up! Stop dawdling, if you alert the Tribe, you’ll have hell to pay!"
Yadang gave Bai Zheng a nudge, unexpectedly knocking him to the ground almost unable to get back up.
Bai Zheng was extremely frightened, his eyes filled with terror, "Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, I was wrong, don’t hit me..."
As he pleaded tremblingly, a suspicious yellow liquid pooled around his feet.
In addition, he hadn’t cleaned himself all winter, toileting in the cave where he ate and drank. The combined smell was indescribable after fermentation.
Su Tang held her nose and took several steps back with Qiu Mo, giving Bai Zheng a look of disgust.
Looking at Bai Zheng with revulsion, Qiu Mo asked in disbelief, "We’re not going to take him with us to Ten Thousands Beast Country, are we?!"
This question left the rest of them silent.
In fact, with Bai Zheng’s current condition, even if they could bear the smell and ignore it, his body wasn’t suitable for a long journey. He might not last the day.
Moreover, if they took him with them, they would have to guard against him and protect him on the way - it would simply be asking for trouble.
Su Tang carefully suggested, "Why don’t we just leave him here? After all, nobody knows about him here. If we took him to the Kingdom and the king sees his state, he might hold us responsible."
Gaiyin was silent for two seconds, he nodded and said, "Let’s not take him. It would be a burden."
The rest nodded quickly in agreement!
So, Bai Zheng was thrown back into the cave where he had been imprisoned.
They all breathed a sigh of relief and, taking advantage of the tribe’s members not yet awake, they departed the Tribe with the first rays of dawn.
Leaving with them was also the system’s dog.
There was no choice, the dog was essentially the soul of the system. To use the system’s store or other features, the dog had to stay within a certain range of Su Tang.
Since the dog was constantly glued to Gaiyin and Su Tang didn’t have an opportunity to negotiate, she simply snuck into his room while the dog was sleeping and retrieved it back into space.
The Space couldn’t contain living things, but the dog was a product of the system. The dog’s appearance was merely a shell, it was unnatural, with a touch of consciousness given by the system, making it appear lively.
Thus, Space did not reject the dog’s entry, unintentionally saving Su Tang a lot of trouble.
...
When Gaiyin woke up to find that the dog was not in its usual spot by his feet.
Gaiyin wasn’t worried, he assumed that the dog had probably gone to the Toilet.
After waiting for a while, and the dog didn’t come back, Gaiyin called out a couple of times. Getting no response, he went to look in the Toilet to find it empty.
Still not panicking, Gaiyin thought the dog might have gone to find his sister-in-law.
So, Gaiyin cleaned himself up as fast as he could and dashed over to Su Tang’s house, pounding on the door, ’DuangDuangDuang’.
"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, open the door..."
