<strong>Capítulo 1328: Chapter 1341</strong>
The crowd became anxious, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Ming Chong, “Ming Chong,e over here.”
Ming Chong walked over to Chu Ge, scratching his head, and asked, “Why aren’t you guys moving?”
Chu Ge furrowed his brow and asked, “Ming Chong, can you see a path in front of you?”
Ming Chong looked back and nodded, “Yes, I can.”
Chu Ge was puzzled, why could Ming Chong see the path while they couldn’t?
But soon he realized, it seemed that this was the barrier Man Feng had set up for them. Because of the barrier’s existence, they couldn’t see outside at all, couldn’t see if there was a path.
What surprised him was that the barrier set by Man Feng had no effect on Ming Chong.
Jian Chunqiu also noticed this and stepped forward, saying to Chu Ge, “Chu Ge, it seems this barrier has no effect on Ming Chong.”
“Hmm.”
Chu Ge nodded.
“So what are you nning to do next?”
Jian Chunqiu asked curiously.
Chu Ge was perplexed, “What do you mean, what should I do next?”
“Among so many people, only Ming Chong is unaffected by the barrier.” Jian Chunqiu said, somewhat troubled.
Chu Ge pondered for a while. He understood what Jian Chunqiu meant. He wanted Ming Chong to help everyone gather food.
Chu Ge thought about it and nodded, saying, “Alright, I understand, I’ll talk to Ming Chong.”
Jian Chunqiu knew that although Ming Chong’s stature was simr to an adult, his intellect was like that of a child. He wouldn’t truly understand certain logic and needed someone to guide him, and that person was neither Jian Chunqiu nor anyone else but Chu Ge.
Chu Ge walked over to Ming Chong, pulling him aside and whispering, “Ming Chong, listen to your brother.”
Ming Chong looked up at Chu Ge curiously and asked, “Can’t we pick and talk at the same time?”
Chu Ge gently shook his head.
“But Ming Chong wants to eat.”
Chu Ge smiled, raising his hand to fondly ruffle Ming Chong’s forehead. He said, “Listen, brother can’t see what you see.”
Ming Chong was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, “Do the others also can’t see?”
Chu Ge nodded, “That’s right, the others can’t see either.”
Ming Chong’s eyes lit up, “Doesn’t this mean Ming Chong is amazing?”
Being able to see what others couldn’t understand made her feel very happy. In Ming Chong’s heart, she regarded herself as special and remarkable.
Chu Ge smiled and nodded, “Yes, Ming Chong is great, now Ming Chong is the most incredible among us.”
Ming Chong grinned at him, “Ming Chong is the best, Ming Chong is really happy.”
“So, my amazing little princess, brother has something he wants to ask you to help with, would you be willing?”
Chu Ge couldn’t directly order Ming Chong to do anything, as it would cause resentment in Ming Chong, who had her own awareness and choices; she was not anyone’s pet.
Ming Chong nodded, “Okay, brother, what is it?”
“Right now, everyone can’t get out, and they are hungry. Only you can pick sour fruits for everyone to eat, can you do that?”
Ming Chong pouted and looked at the others, evidently a bit reluctant.
After a while, Ming Chong murmured, “These people are bad, they don’t like Ming Chong.”
Chu Gefortingly rubbed her forehead, “No, they actually like Ming Chong. If you help them fill their bellies, they’ll like you.”
Ming Chong lowered her head, still silent.
“What’s wrong? Doesn’t Ming Chong want more people to like her?”
Chu Ge asked.
Ming Chong quickly shook her head, “No, Ming Chong wants more people to like her, but she doesn’t want those who originally disliked her to start liking her.”
Chu Ge looked at Ming Chong, puzzled, “What do you mean by that?”
“They only stopped disliking Ming Chong because she saved them, not because of who Ming Chong is.”
Chu Ge found it amusing, this girl had hit a mental block.
“How could that be? If you help others and they like you, isn’t that normal?”
Ming Chong tilted her head, “Is that really normal?”
Chu Ge nodded, “Of course it is, and now that everyone is in difficulty, you are one of us, and there’s a responsibility on your shoulders.”
“Responsibility?”
Ming Chong was more confused, “Is it important?”
Chu Ge earnestly said, “Everyone has their own responsibility to bear. If bornzy, without any sense of responsibility, that person will aplish nothing in life and have no value.”
Ming Chong partly understood, “Ming Chong wants to be a person with responsibility.”
Chu Ge knew that although she said this, she didn’t fully grasp its true meaning.
But it didn’t matter. This wasn’t urgent; he could slowly teach Ming Chong over time.
In the end, Chu Ge persuaded Ming Chong to help pick the sour fruits, though with her limited ability, she had to run back and forth three times before collecting enough.
Everyone gave Ming Chong a thumbs up, and Zhao Li even stepped forward to give Ming Chong a hug, but she refused.
Ming Chong didn’t like being touched by strangers, but she noticed the gratitude in everyone’s eyes when she brought the sour fruits back.
It turned out that Chu Ge was right. When she helped others, they did like her.
Ming Chong felt delighted inside. She handed a sour fruit to Chu Ge, “Brother, you have some too.”
Chu Ge epted it with a smile, looking at the sour fruit, feeling like he’d seen it somewhere before.
“Does anyone know what kind of fruit this is?”
Someone questioned, “This fruit should be edible, right?”
“Of course it is. With our little glutton Ming Chong’s approval, it’s definitely delicious.”
Lin Dong countered, popping a sour fruit into his mouth, as a sweet and sour juice spread in his mouth.
The feeling was simply exhrating.
Lin Dong looked content, finishing one fruit and craving another.
“Does anyone know what this fruit is?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Water Phoenix Fruit, right?”
The one who spoke was Zhao Li. He looked at the fruit, as if recalling something, “I remember when I was traveling around with my master, I saw this fruit. It grows in damp areas, and is a shade-loving nt. This fruit is known to detoxify hundreds of poisons.”
“Detoxify hundreds of poisons?”
Everyone became excited at once, “Does that mean after eating it, our martial arts will be restored?”
