Ye Qingcheng, upon leaving the cave, walked aimlessly in one direction like a headless fly.
She didn't know if the direction she was heading was the way out of the mountain, nor did she know where her Maid, Emerald, was.
The Original Owner had never been to Fairy Mountain after arriving here, so searching her memories yielded nothing about Fairy Mountain.
The only snippets she found were what the villagers of Taoli Village had mentioned: Fairy Mountain was rampant with ferocious beasts and was inaccessible.
She pushed aside the branches blocking her path, moving forward with difficulty, constantly scanning her surroundings for any sign of Emerald.
But unfortunately, after walking for nearly one Shichen, she hadn't seen a single person, though there were many footprints.
"This wretched mountain! Why is finding someone so troublesome? Emerald, Emerald, if you don't show up soon, I'm not looking for you anymore!" Ye Qingcheng shouted angrily a few times, but no one responded.
Just as she was about to change direction to search again, there was some slight movement ahead. She listened intently; the sound was getting closer, but it wasn't human voices—it was the roar of beasts.
The sounds grew nearer, so close that Ye Qingcheng could vaguely make out the dust flying up from two wild beasts fighting and running towards each other.
Terrified, she quickly climbed up a nearby large tree.
She dared not hide in the Space, fearing that if she stayed inside for a while, she would become terribly hungry again. What do foodies fear most? That would naturally be the feeling of an empty stomach.
Not long after she huffed and puffed her way up a tree large enough for two people to embrace, the two beasts had fought their way right to her location.
Ye Qingcheng excitedly covered her mouth tightly to keep from making any noise.
Fighting in front of her was a large tiger with yellow fur and black stripes, and a brown bear.
Ye Qingcheng's first reaction wasn't fear, but thoughts of bear paw.
She had long heard how delicious bear paw was, and she hadn't had a chance to try it yet! Wasn't one delivered right to her doorstep?
After Ye Qingcheng had drooled quite a bit, the two beasts gradually ended their fight, both severely injured. The brown bear had gradually stopped breathing.
The tiger had a faint, almost inaudible breath. Once both large creatures lay still, Ye Qingcheng noticed the tiger's belly was very large; it seemed to be a Mother tiger about to give birth.
Ignoring everything else, she quickly scrambled down the tree and ran toward the tiger.
At that moment, Mo Li had just found Ye Qingcheng. He hid to the side, watching the Little girl in front of him, and his pupils contracted slightly when she boldly ran toward the tiger.
He could tell the tiger wasn't dead; it was just having a Difficult childbirth.
Just as he was about to step forward to stop the Young lady, he saw her approach the tiger, muttering something, and take an item from her sleeve to place in the tiger's mouth.
Mo Li stopped his advance, observing carefully, ready to rescue her immediately if danger arose.
The person in front of him was someone the Master was interested in, and also the Master's savior. No matter what, he had to protect her, at least until she was safely escorted out of Fairy Mountain unharmed.
Ye Qingcheng cautiously approached the Mother tiger and squatted down to examine it.
The Mother tiger showed fierce eyes when someone approached, but it couldn't get up; it had no strength left.
Ye Qingcheng quickly summoned a 500-year-old Ginseng from the Medicine Garden Space and stuffed it directly into the tiger's mouth to keep its breath going.
This was because she saw that the Mother tiger had no chance of survival. There was a large gash on its left chest, bitten away by the brown bear, which had already injured its internal organs. Furthermore, due to the Difficult childbirth and premature labor, the tiger cub inside was also in critical condition. If she saved the Mother tiger, she would have to sacrifice the cub inside.
The Mother tiger was very intelligent. After Ye Qingcheng fed it the Ginseng, it quietly let its head drop, staring fixedly at her, seemingly begging her to save its child.
Ye Qingcheng had no other choice; she had to quickly cut open the tiger's abdomen and race against time to save the tiger cub.
She took out the Anesthetic Spray from the Medicine Garden Space and sprayed it a few times on the tiger's belly.
Although the tiger was nearly dead, this could at least reduce its pain.
The Anesthesia quickly took effect. Not daring to delay, she immediately took out a Surgery knife and began performing a Cesarean section on the tiger.
Mo Li, watching from a distance, was puzzled about how many things this Young lady had in her sleeves, as he clearly saw that what she fed the tiger just now was Ginseng.
When Ye Qingcheng carefully took the two tiger babies out of the Mother tiger's belly, the Mother tiger was already on its last breath. She quickly brought the two Little tiger babies in front of it so it could see them.
Finally, the Mother tiger closed its eyes heavily.
"Sigh... you're dead, but what about these two children?" Ye Qingcheng worried, holding the two premature tiger babies, whose eyes hadn't even opened yet, her hands covered in blood.
She had just arrived and couldn't even support herself, plus she still had a Maid to find. What was she supposed to do with two tiger babies?
The Space would not allow her to bring living things inside.
"Truly adding frost to snow! I really know how to screw myself over!" Ye Qingcheng got up with a bitter smile.
Mo Li thought she was standing up to leave, but unexpectedly, Ye Qingcheng walked a few steps to the brown bear's side, placed the two tiger babies nearby, squatted down with her back to Mo Li, and after fiddling around for a while, she clapped her hands, picked up the two tiger babies, and turned to leave.
Mo Li waited until she was far away before rushing forward to look, and he was dumbfounded.
That Young lady had actually chopped off the brown bear's four bear paws.
This made Mo Li not know whether to laugh or cry.
He could only suppress his urge to laugh, get up, and chase in the direction she had gone.
Ye Qingcheng carried the two tiger babies forward. After walking not far, she saw a Little girl in a green dress ahead.
However, she knew from a distance that this Little girl no longer had any life force, and her body was already stiff.
She searched through the Original Owner's memories and knew this Little girl was the Original Owner's Maid, Emerald.
Her death was normal; if she hadn't possessed the body, wouldn't the Original Owner have died long ago?
She didn't have much affection for this Little girl, nor was she particularly reluctant to part with her; the faint sadness deep in her heart was just the lingering emotions of the Original Owner acting up.
She took off her mud-splattered outer garment and wrapped the two Little tiger babies in it, placing them aside.
She found a wooden stick and painstakingly dug a hole, burying the body inside.
She didn't erect a marker, just buried her, then stepped back two paces and bowed.
Turning around, she picked up the Little tiger babies and left.
She needed to hurry out of Fairy Mountain; it would be harder and more dangerous to travel once it got dark.
She knew that the Original Owner and Emerald lived on the west side of Taoli Village, next to only one other household, occupied by an elderly, solitary Old Madam.
Although the conditions were harsh, it was better than staying in this deep mountain. She wasn't alone now; she had two tiger babies to care for. These newborn tiger babies, though they hadn't opened their eyes, already had their little mouths open, constantly whimpering from hunger. She needed to find a wet nurse for them.
Ye Qingcheng walked quickly. The Original Owner's Health was weak, and after walking for most of the day, she was already panting heavily from exhaustion, but she couldn't stop. The sun was already setting in the west; if she didn't get out, she would have to spend the night in the mountains.
Mo Li followed her, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far. He watched the Young lady dig a hole by herself, bury someone, and then wander around aimlessly, sometimes heading north, sometimes west, and then turning east. Following her meandering path made him dizzy; he had no idea what this Young lady was doing.
