Garula's eyelids twitched. Unable to bear Yu Jin's eager gaze, she scooped out a mouthful with a spoon.
Anyway, I have already taken all the medicines in the laboratory, so I don’t care about this spoonful of strange soup.
"Hmm..." As soon as she put it in her mouth, Garula regretted her decision. The bandage on her face was wrinkled because of the distortion of her face.
What did he taste? Earthy, stale, fresh, sweet... all kinds of good and bad tastes hit Garula's taste buds in distinct layers.
Garula saw his own figure moving away. Wait? Why can he see himself?
Then she felt dazed for a moment, and then she returned to normal. Looking at the elemental soup in front of her, Gala patted her chest in fear.
"Gululu..., it's delicious." Jialuo swallowed hard and told a white lie. Although the soup did taste a bit terrible, it was really good for her.
With just one bite, she felt that her fatigue of the past few days had dissipated a lot, and even the wound under the bandage began to itch - that was a sign of wound healing.
"Hey! Uncle, what's wrong with you?" When Galaluo came to his senses, he saw Yujin drawing circles with a branch beside him.
What Galaluo didn't know was that her own face had been distorted to an inhuman degree, and her eyes were rolled back as if her eyeballs were spinning.
If Yu Jin hadn't rescued her in time, she would probably have to lie down for a while.
Is my cooking skill really that bad? Yu Jin fell into deep thought.
But soon he threw the stick in his hand away. He was never a person who would nitpick. If his cooking skills were not good, it was not good. He didn't have to eat anyway.
"Sorry for scaring you just now." Yu Jin poured out the element soup next to Jialuo.
Originally, Jialuo wanted to keep the soup because it was really good. But after seeing the withered flowers and plants and feeling the resistance in her heart, she wisely remained silent.
"Oh, I am really poor despite my poor strength. I didn't expect that I would fail in cooking." Yu Jin sat back down and sighed.
"Here, there's no soup, so just eat some dry food." As he said that, Yu Jin handed Jialuo some pieces of dried meat and a red bottle.
Garula didn't care about the jerky. She was attracted by the bottle of Red Drops Holy Grail handed to her by Yu Jin.
The majestic breath of life in the Red Drop Holy Grail and the gorgeous and intricate golden patterns on the bottle all told Galura that this was not an ordinary object.
"Drink a little bit of the dew in the bottle at a time. You won't be able to bear more." Yu Jin looked at Garula who was holding the Holy Grail in a daze and reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Galaruo took a sip carefully, and then her half-open eyes suddenly opened, and her pupils contracted rapidly.
She felt a strong vitality entering her body from her mouth. Wherever this vitality went, the hidden injuries and remaining poisons in her body were all swept away!
Galaruo felt something strange in her body, and she quickly scratched her head hard, and a few strands of black hair fell from her eyes.
She peeled off the bandages again and found that the scabs that were all over her skin had long since fallen off, and the once hideous scars were replaced by tender white skin.
"Wu..., Wu..." Tears blurred Galura's vision. What she had lost has finally come back to her.
This means that I can finally live in the sunshine and no longer be treated as a monster by others.
After sobbing for a while, Garula wiped her tears. She looked around and found that there was a pile of clothes beside her.
She looked further away and saw that the ember was leaning against the trunk of a large tree.
Garula suddenly realized something, her face turned red, and she quickly untied the remaining bandages on her body and changed into the clothes left by Yujin.
"alright,……"
"Just call me Yu Jin." Yu Jin withdrew his gaze from the distant Sky Island and said to Garula.
"Yes, Brother Ember."
Yu Jin's dry mouth twitched. He had just called him uncle.
However, when Yu Jin saw Garula's current appearance, his eyes lit up. At this moment, Garula was wearing a set of Finger Witch clothes.
In Yujin's opinion, Garula was now a little-finger witch.
The scars on her face faded, and new hair fell down her back like a waterfall. Only then did Galula regain the youthful vitality of a young girl.
"Haha! It's quite pretty." Although Yu Jin had long lost the concept of ordinary beauty and ugliness, everyone can say nice things.
Upon hearing this, Jialuo blushed again. She lifted up her long skirt which was a little too big for her and asked curiously:
"Brother Yu Jin, is this the clothing from your country? It's a style I've never seen before."
Galaluo adjusted the crown on her head again. She had never seen or even heard of this style of clothing before.
Ember was silent for a moment, then said:
"I guess so, but I'm a bit far away from there now."
"Why don't we talk about this land?"

"What's going on with the injuries on your body and the strange power in your body?" Yu Jin asked as he casually cut away the bushes blocking the way in front of Jialuo.
"It's nothing, I just did some experiments on it and it became like this. As for that power, I don't know where it came from." Garula responded to Yu Jin's question in a low voice.
She only knew that she found herself in the Fatui's laboratory after a nap. As for what was done to her, no one told her and she didn't want to know.
"Where is anyone else?"
"No, the laboratory was destroyed, and only sister Cole and I escaped." Galura said with some fear.
When the laboratory caught fire, she and Cole tried their best to escape. Later they had to face the endless pursuit of the Fatui. Those days were really terrifying.
Jialuo looked at Yujin in front of him and said carefully: "Brother Yujin, do you have anywhere to go?"
Yu Jin scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard that. "To be honest, I have no idea where this place is and I don't know where to go."
Then he sighed and said, "It's not a good feeling to have no goal."
Garula's ears twitched when she heard that. She said with some surprise: "Then let's go to Mondstadt. I heard that it is now the only place on the continent that has not signed a protection agreement with the Fatui."
"And freedom is valued there. I believe Sister Cole will go there too." As she spoke, a hint of longing flashed in Galura's eyes.
"Do you know the way?"
"know."
"Let's go! To Mondstadt!"
As he said that, Yu Jin directly carried Jialuo on his back, and the speed suddenly increased!
“Ah!!! It’s too fast!!!”
"Don't shout, show the way!"
"Oh."
Even with the crown on, the strong wind still blew Garula's hair up. The scenery in front of her kept changing, and the embers were like a flash of light, shuttling through the dense forest.
It was already late at night, but the darkness and strong wind did not make Garula feel any cold, because she was lying on the embers, which were constantly flowing with heat.
Just like, just like a stove. Galura thought as he felt the warmth.
The strong wind dissipated, and Jialuo opened his narrowed eyes and asked Yujin, who had stopped, "What's wrong, Brother Yujin?"
"Look." Yu Jin pushed aside the dense bushes in front of him and said to Galaluo.
As Garula spoke, he looked in the direction that the ember pointed, and saw a flat open space in front of the bushes.
A bonfire was lit in the center of the clearing, and several strange creatures were dancing around it. In the distance, there were more creatures that looked like they were from the same species, admiring their dance.
"Hichill people! There are also Hilichurl thugs and Hilichurl shamans!" Garula exclaimed. Judging from the number of Hilichurl thugs inside, this camp must be quite large.
"What is that?" asked Ember curiously. He had an extraordinary curiosity about new things, especially about living things.
"They are the most common monsters on the continent. They attack anyone they see. They are very fierce!" Garuru looked at them for a while and asked in confusion:
"That's not right. There shouldn't be such a large-scale camp of Hillfolk in the Whispering Forest. This is not the Dadaupa Valley."
But just as she lowered her head in thought, Yu Jin walked straight into the camp.
"Hey! Hey! Brother Yujin, what are you doing? It's very dangerous!" When Garula saw Yujin walking into the hill camp, he couldn't help but remind him anxiously.
Then she saw Yu Jin squatting on the ground and saying something to these hillbillies, and then a fight broke out.
In the middle, there were also strange cries from Ember, such as "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!", "I'll be angry if you hit me again!", "I've already cut sixteen times!" and so on.
As Garula expected, the Hillilks didn't listen to Yu Jin's shouts at all. Soon, a Hillilk thug grabbed Yu Jin's legs and threw him out of the camp.
"Bang!" The embers fell to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.
"Hey! Brother Yujin, how are you?" Jialuo hurried to Yujin and kept shaking his body.
"No, it's okay. I'm just about to be shaken unconscious by you." Yu Jin patted Galaluo's hands a few times and found that Galaluo's hands did not move at all.
This little girl is quite strong.
Yu Jin looked at Jialuo who was laughing through tears, and could only roll on the ground silently before standing up.
"Yaya, Zido!" Just as Yu Jin stood up, he heard the hillbillies in the camp rushing out with strange cries.
"Damn it! Brother Yujin, you step back first!" Seeing the Hilichurl running towards them with his fangs bared, Garula took a step forward and stopped Yujin behind him.
"Hmph..." The familiar black energy began to flow through Galaluo's body again, but before Galaluo could make any move, a warm iron hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Haha, there's no reason to let a child protect an adult. Garuru, just watch carefully. It's a little early for you to fight. Children should play more."
Yu Jin exerted his strength and pulled Garuru behind him. At the same time, a new force was transmitted from Yu Jin's hand into Garuru's body, and the restless demon remnant immediately calmed down.
Garula looked at Yu Jin and saw that he had an ordinary straight sword in his hand.
She wanted to say something, but the absolutely cold aura emanating from Yu Jin who took out his weapon frightened her a little, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Ember held the sword in one hand and looked at the shield-carrying hillock thugs who were leading the way.
The shield held by the Hillock thug was two meters high, like a heavy door. The muscular body of the Hillock thug behind the shield gave people infinite pressure.
At this time, it was running towards the embers quickly with its shield raised. The huge force caused the dust behind it to rise more than one meter high.
"I originally wanted to have a good communication with you, but it seems that it is not possible!" Yu Jin muttered and ran directly in the direction of the hillick thugs.
Just when the two were about to collide, Yu Jin kicked out. His leg was like a huge spring, releasing all the stored power in an instant!
Kick - A fighting technique in which the foot is raised sharply and kicked forward. It is very effective against an enemy who is defending, and can make the opponent lose balance.
It was an ordinary combat technique, but it was performed by Embers.
"Boom!!!" A huge air bubble spread out from the foot kicked by Yujin, destroying everything in its path.
