Chapter 278: He's Not a Traitor
Bai Tao finally managed to coax the man into submission and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw Xiao Ming gnawing on a chicken leg. Her forehead twitched.

Didn’t you just finish your meal?
She remembered that Xiao Ming ate a lot of lunch.

So, who is the hunter and who is the prey? Was she tricked into the Sumeru space, or was she fooled by the gluttonous Xiao Ming?
Thinking that she still had a bunch of questions to answer, Bai Tao couldn't help but roll her eyes. Cheap goods don't come in good quality.

Seeing Xiao Ming eating happily, Bai Tao couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you just eat two chicken legs? Where did these chicken legs come from?"

Xiao Ming was still slowly biting at the shredded chicken leg, but when he saw Bai Tao frowning, he immediately finished the chicken leg in two or three bites: "Xiao Cao and the others gave it to me."

Of course, half of it was given to him, and half of it was tricked by him.

They wanted to know how he came to follow their great aunt, and Xiao Ming wanted to eat chicken legs, so they hit it off.

Bai Tao heard this and put her hands on her hips: "Two chicken legs per person, how many did you eat?"

Xiao Ming: “Nine.”

Wow, that’s really good.

This is to trick all the food that her younger generation eats into his mouth.

Bai Tao is stingy, but she is quite generous when it comes to providing food for the villagers.

But it doesn’t mean Xiao Ming can eat it like this. The key is that he also ate the rest of the food.

It's like this at the beginning, but it will be worse in the future.

Immediately, Bai Tao pulled Xiao Ming into the tent and said, "Go back to the space first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ming didn't even have time to say anything before she disappeared.

Bai Tao felt less depressed when she realized that Xiao Ming had returned to the space and could not come out without her permission.

This sudden change made Xiao Ming a little confused. Why did he suddenly return to the space?
No, he just ate a few more chicken legs, why is Bai Tao being so stingy?

He had asked before, and found out that chicken legs were not expensive, less than half the price of an ice cream cake.

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered, didn’t he say there was a chocolate cake in the space?
Where's the chocolate cake?!
Bai Tao didn't have Xiao Ming around before, so she drove Xiao Ming back to the space. There was no one around, and the villagers didn't care.

Even if you find out, don't take it seriously and don't follow me all the time.

"Auntie, when are we going to return to the village?"

Bai Shanquan said, "Aunt, you've been out for a while. We all miss you."

It's better to go back to the village. If I stay outside, what if my aunt disappears again...

The Snow Mountain Festival has passed, and there are no more Snow Mountain Crystals. The Jiang people's tribe was supposed to break camp and go on a nomadic journey a few days ago, but they were delayed because Bai Tao was missing.

Bai Tao saw that the group of people were looking at her hesitantly, and nodded: "Then let's go back today, you guys can pack up later."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Chunhua and others responded immediately: "Auntie, we will go and clean up now."

Bai Tao didn't have much stuff to begin with, but she had said before that she would bring gifts for the villagers, so she bought quite a few things when she was selling them.

Looking at the boxes of things being sorted and loaded onto the carriage, Bai Tao suddenly remembered, hey, it has been so long since she came out of the Sumeru Space, why hasn't she seen the mall pop up?

Bai Tao felt a little uncomfortable without it chirping in her ears.

When Bai Tao came out of the Sumeru Space, he tried it and found that the mall was able to place orders and buy things normally and had resumed normal use.

But half a day had passed and the mall still didn't seem to be open, so Bai Tao became a little suspicious.

'Mall?'

'Mall? ? '

'Mall???'

After calling out several times but there was no response, Bai Tao was puzzled. This shouldn't be the case, as everything had returned to normal.

Are you angry?

But it's easy to deal with if the mall is angry. Bai Tao rolled her eyes and smiled: "I have an idea to make extra money, do you want to join?" The mall immediately said: "What?"

As soon as it spoke, the mall felt a little annoyed. It should have been more patient.

After Bai Tao left the Xumi Space, the mall was not suppressed and indeed quickly returned to normal, but it was surprised to see that Bai Tao actually brought an artifact spirit with him.

For her sake, I ran across most of the world to find people to inquire, check information, and ask for news, but she just turned around and took another space spirit without asking it a single question, so the mall hid away angrily.

It’s amazing that it can transform. Once it is upgraded to an advanced level, it can do the same.

Bai Tao didn't know what made the mall angry, so when she saw it bubbling, she asked, "Where have you been? I've been calling you for a long time."

Mall: "I was just upgrading, so I was slow to receive messages."

It can't say that it is angry, because that would make it seem so narrow-minded.

"What's the idea? How much do you want me to spend?" It originally needed a lot of energy to upgrade, so naturally it didn't want to miss any opportunity.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I perfect the plan."

Although Bai Tao's excuse was full of loopholes, earning extra money requires caution, so the mall couldn't say anything.

It took a look and saw that the spirit of the weapon was not there, and the mall immediately became happy.

Before setting off, Bai Tao left a message for Tao Jiaren, asking Keba to tell Bai Tiechui who was returning in two days, with the focus on Tao Jiaren.

Keba: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message."

"Master Bai, have a safe journey."

Bai Tao waved from the carriage window.

At this time, Bai Chunhua came over hurriedly: "Aunt, Xiao Ming is missing."

Since my aunt said she wanted to take the child back to the village to raise him, of course I had to report it immediately when he suddenly disappeared.

When the others heard this, they also seemed to remember that they hadn't seen anyone for a while after lunch.

"I haven't seen him for some time."

"Yes, yes, I didn't see it when I was packing my things."

Bai Qi exclaimed: "Could it have run outside and been taken away by a wolf?"

I have heard such words from the Jiang tribe many times before.

Some people also doubted: "Isn't he a traitor?"

"He sneaked away, so he must not be a good person."

Bai Tao's forehead twitched when he heard this. The term "traitor" does not apply to all situations.

In order to prevent the villagers from making more outrageous guesses, Bai Tao quickly said, "Oh, Xiao Ming, I asked him to go do something."

Are you going to do some work?

Bai Chunhua was stunned for a moment, while Bai Shanquan was puzzled.

That Xiao Ming is shorter than me, and it seems like he only loves to eat.

What can he accomplish for my aunt? !
Bai Tao didn't intend to explain further, and waved her hand: "Okay, now that we are ready, let's go."

"Auntie, don't you need to wait for Xiao Ming?"

"No need, he will catch up by himself after he finishes his work." After she finished speaking, she added: "Don't underestimate him because he is small, he is very capable."

At this time, Xiao Ming, who was said to be very capable, was picking fruits in the Sumeru space.

In Bai Tao's words, after eating so many chicken legs, he has to make up for it by working.

Bai Tao would never admit that she was taking this opportunity to avenge herself for being forced to count the peach trees and bayberry trees.
