Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 51: What Favor? It Was All Fake

Qi Quanjin felt that his nose was now overwhelmed by the stench and could smell nothing else. Given the dangerous situation, he couldn’t care less; he picked up a stinky projectile, set it on the slingshot, aimed at the lead wolf, and fired.

The first shot wasn’t very accurate, landing four or five meters from the lead wolf.

Nevertheless, it caused the wolf pack to retreat slightly.

This reaction lifted everyone’s spirits.

"It’s working! It really works! Qi Si, hurry and shoot again!"

Someone immediately urged Qi Quanjin to continue.

Qi Quanjin didn’t hesitate and continued his attack.

The accuracy of the first few shots was not great, but during these attempts, he got the feel of it.

Subsequent shots became more accurate.

However, even though Qi Quanjin had found his touch, he still couldn’t hit the lead wolf, not to mention any ordinary wolves.

Moreover, as the unique scent of the black bear spread further, the distance between the wolf pack and the cave increased.

Eventually, the slingshot couldn’t withstand Qi Quanjin’s strength and broke.

The second slingshot was picked up, but the effect was still deteriorating, even worse than at first.

"This isn’t going to work."

Yi Meng was anxious; meanwhile, Qi Manman in her arms blinked her big eyes, watching the retreating wolves.

Are those actually wolves? Why do they look so different from the ferocious deity’s mount?

Qi Manman sniffed and then covered her nose with her small chubby hand.

"Mom, it smells so bad."

Qi Manman wrinkled her small brow.

This smell was really making this little baby quite confused from the stink.

Yi Meng’s attention was diverted by her daughter’s voice. Looking down at her little one so full of dislike, Yi Meng found it both amusing and helpless.

"Be good, Manbao. Your dad is using that stinky stuff to drive the wolves away. Once they are gone, we’ll be safe. Then I’ll make some nice smells for you, okay?"

Yi Meng said as she pulled the blanket up to prevent her daughter from catching a cold.

Qi Manman tilted her head, thinking it over: "Just tell the wolves to leave, wouldn’t that do? Why does Dad have to use the stinky stuff to hit them?"

"It smells so bad, the wolves will surely get angry smelling it."

Qi Manman earnestly instructed her mother.

This method is really not good.

Yi Meng laughed out loud, "Sweetheart, wolves don’t understand our language. If your dad weren’t using the stinky stuff to hit them, they might have already come over to eat us."

"No way! They wouldn’t dare!"

Qi Manman clenched her small fist: "Mom, let me down. I want to tell them to leave quickly; otherwise, I’ll let the Jade... I’ll beat them up!"

Instinctively wanting to say Grandpa Jade Emperor would smite the wild wolves, but the words were changed before being spoken.

It’s not that she didn’t want to mention Grandpa Jade Emperor, but she had previously dreamed about him.

Grandpa Jade Emperor said not to bring him up casually, or else he would never visit Manbao again!

Manbao may be the beloved of her grandparents, parents, and others, but she is also Grandpa Jade Emperor’s beloved Manbao. She wouldn’t want to never see him again!

Yi Meng was truly amused this time: "Alright, don’t fuss. If you think it stinks here, I’ll take you over to grandma’s, okay?"

"No! Mom, let me down. I’m not afraid of wolves. Those wolves won’t eat us either!"

Qi Manman stubbornly twisted her little body, insisting on getting down.

The little one may not seem big, but when she gets stubborn, she’s surprisingly strong.

Yi Meng, afraid of dropping her, could only support her, letting her stand on the ground while holding her little hand, fearing that inattention would lead the little one to charge out recklessly at the wolf pack.

Those are wild wolves, creatures that could kill without blinking an eye.

If their little daughter charged at them, wouldn’t she be simply offering herself as a meal?

Qi Manman, however, didn’t intend to let go of her mother’s hand; she just actively pulled her mom toward the fire.

Yi Meng wouldn’t allow Qi Manman to pass the fire’s perimeter, so she held her hand while looking across the fire at the distant wolves in the forest.

They wondered if they could hold out until the wolves left.

If they couldn’t last that long, a fierce battle was inevitable.

The fire burned brightly, with flames even taller than Qi Manman.

She couldn’t see the wolf pack and saw her mother looking worried and not paying attention to her. She then looked elsewhere.

Her second uncle was standing not far away, talking with someone.

"Second Uncle!"

Qi Manman called out, "Can you hold Manbao, please?"

The little girl’s chubby face, with big, shiny eyes, and a crisp voice.

Qi Ercai, seeing his beloved niece calling for him, stopped talking to the others and walked over, picking up the little girl without another word.

"Sweet Manbao, shall Second Uncle lift you high up?"

Because the wolf pack was driven back, Qi Ercai was much more relaxed at this moment.

Qi Manman giggled twice before saying, "Second Uncle, let’s do it later. Manbao has something important to do now!"

"What..."

Before the words were out, Qi Ercai was startled by the little girl’s shout.

"Stinky wolves! You better leave this place fast, don’t eat Manbao, don’t eat Manbao’s family! If you don’t leave, Manbao will beat you up!"

In the silent night, the slightly sharp voice of the little girl traveled far.

The people outside the cave and inside the cave all heard, and each instinctively frowned.

Someone said, "Manbao? Is that the little girl from the Qi Family? Why doesn’t anyone take charge? If she provokes the wolf pack, what then?"

"Yeah! That naughty girl is completely ruined, she should have been smothered at birth!"

"Doesn’t the Qi Family really dote on that little girl? Why is she outside now? Turns out, things aren’t as they seem, throwing her outside during such danger, waiting to be eaten by wolves!"

The crowd’s discourse was endless, all questioning the Qi Family’s supposed affection for their daughter and scornful of little Qi Manman.

Many girls at home who did not receive much attention heard such discussions, each bowing their heads.

Originally tense and fearful, their faces couldn’t help but show a bit of amusement.

Hmph! Why should that little girl be so loved by her family?

Now see, what love? It’s all fake.

Outwardly cherished, but at home, who’s to say how she’s used like a little servant?

The discussion was near the cave entrance, while the women and children of the Qi Family were inside, so they weren’t immediately aware of these talks.

But Mrs. Qi, hearing her granddaughter’s shout, was frightened, grabbing her daughter-in-law’s sleeve, repeatedly asking, "Was that Manbao shouting just now? Did you hear it? Is this old woman’s ears not working, so I heard wrong?"
