Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Acknowledging Relatives? Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Acknowledging Relatives? The three of them passed by the Bai siblings’ resting spot and caught whiff of the scent of food.

Without planning, they glanced over and saw the remains of bird eggshells at the siblings’ feet.

They never expected that besides rabbits, there were also people who could get their hands on bird eggs, which came as a bit of a surprise.

Thinking about how the rabbits treated the bird eggs as precious treasures that they wouldn’t even let others touch, yet the people here had boldly eaten them, the contrast was simply too stark.

However, now was not the time to worry about that, after all, according to the original plan, they only had one shichen to spare.

The young lads could only think about persuading the rabbit to cook the bird eggs when they got back.

At that moment, Bai Junjun was completely captivated by the allure of the bird eggs and didn’t notice the few who had left so quietly.

She mimicked how everyone else peeled the eggs, being extra careful not to knick even a bit of the egg white with her fingernails.

When the eggshell was stripped away, the thumb-sized egg white shone like porcelain and felt as smooth as silk, and it gave off a curious fragrance unique to egg whites.

Bai Junjun, a bumpkin from the Apocalypse, had never tasted any of the food here.

So naturally, she treasured the rare opportunity to enjoy something fresh.

She took a gentle bite, the egg white springy and smooth, the yolk powdery and melting in her mouth.

A small bite was not satisfying enough, so she popped the remaining two-thirds of the egg into her mouth in one go.

Chewing on it, it was both fragrant and sweet. The only downside was that there was too little of it; it was gone before she could chew for long.

At this moment, Bai Lingyu had another unpeeled egg in hand, and Bai Junjun moved her mouth, regretting her generosity. She shouldn’t have been so concerned about brotherly decorum just now!

Fearing she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation to snatch the egg if she watched any longer, Bai Junjun could only silently look around.

Only then did she notice that the three youths on the horse carriage had disappeared.

She raised her brows slightly, not knowing when they had left.

The horse carriage was now empty, a perfect opportunity to verify the identities of those inside.

Bai Junjun licked her lips, contemplating whether to use her Special Ability to lift the curtains of the carriage.

But before she could act, the horse carriage beat her to it with some movement.

A head popped out from inside the carriage, and soon enough, the familiar face of the kid they had traded water with was fully visible.

It was the rabbit, who upon emerging, took up the old monk’s former seat and assumed the duty of guarding the entrance.

The rabbit had barely sat down when he habitually swept his gaze around the area, and just happened to meet Bai Junjun’s eyes.

Seemingly not expecting Bai Junjun to be so close, the rabbit froze for a second, then quickly raised a finger to his lips, silently signaling her not to make any rash moves.

Bai Junjun didn’t understand the little brat’s intention, but considering there were still others in the carriage and it wasn’t clear if they were friend or foe, it seemed wise not to make any hasty actions before confirming their identities. She decided to forgo greeting them.

Apart from Bai Junjun, who was constantly keeping an eye on the carriage, Bai Sasa also found herself unconsciously looking that way.

After all, this was a vehicle marked with the Bai Yang Clan emblem. In her view, anyone who could use this carriage must be closely related to the direct lineage of the Bai Yang Clan; if that were true, they might have a support to rely on in the future.

A glimmer of hope sparked in Bai Sasa’s eyes, and although she tried to approach several times, Bai Junjun held her back each time.

Compared to Bai Sasa’s hopeful heart, Bai Junjun saw things much more clearly.

“Fool, it’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in snowy weather. If we were still the first Shi clan of Baiju Country, as prosperous as the midday sun, others would certainly lend a hand,” she said.
