Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"Can you give me the formula? I will pay you accordingly."

Lisa shook her head. "I don't know the formula. I was the test subject. I don't know what drugs they used on me! I don't even know how long I have to live."

Lisa's tone was somewhat melancholic, which, combined with the quiet night breeze, evoked pity in the listener.

Unfortunately, Huanji is a ninja, so this emotional appeal is basically useless against her.

If it's not there, it's not there. Huanji doesn't care about these things.

In the past, she might have used some means to get Lisa to reveal the recipe.

Even if Lisa truly didn't know, she would still use some methods.

Human lives, haha.
However, there is still Himiko, a queen, inside Princess Genki's body.

This is someone who will replace her, even though the queen said she wouldn't harm her and would coexist with her.

But is this statement credible?

A ninja is not only good at enduring, but also at deceiving!
How much of what Himiko said was true, only she herself probably knows.

The roasted bird was quickly eaten by the two women.

After Lisa finished eating, she wiped her mouth and felt a little thirsty.

Fresh water! There's no fresh water!

I didn't feel thirsty when I was nervous, but now that I'm full, the thirst is particularly intense.

"Is there any fresh water around here?" Lisa licked her lips and decided to ask anyway.

This time, Huanji didn't just pull out anything. Instead, she turned around, grabbed a backpack, and took out a small fruit, handing it to Lisa.

The fruit was small, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Lisa took it, thanked her, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.

It was a little sweet and a little astringent, tasting like a plum, except the pit was huge and the flesh was only a thin layer, disappearing in just a few bites. Not quite satisfied, Lisa tossed the pit back into her mouth and began sucking the last of the juice.

Huanji reached out and touched the hanging clothes, saying, "They're almost dry, you can wear them now."

After saying that, she picked up Lisa's clothes and threw them to Lisa.

Lisa, clutching the clothes, asked, "So what do we do now?"

“We’ll take turns sleeping, you’ll sleep in the first half of the night!” Huanji answered simply as she got dressed.

The clothes are warm and feel incredibly comfortable to wear.

A wave of drowsiness washed over her, startling Huanji so much that she quickly shook her head and pinched her thigh hard.

"Is this your doing?" In her mind, Eboshi asked Himiko in an unfriendly tone.

"You can sleep! I'll take your place keeping watch!" Himiko said in his mind. "That way you won't be so tired!"

"I can't completely trust you!" Huanji replied bluntly.

"Then do as you please!" Himiko didn't argue, and after saying that, she quietly left, seemingly to go to sleep.

Lisa was finally able to go to sleep, and she felt a little excited.

But her excitement lasted less than three seconds before it wore off.

In the desolate wilderness, there were no blankets, only the damp, cold ground and a sea breeze that wasn't blowing in.

"I'm not going to sleep!" Lisa said, squatting by the fire, looking a little lost.

“That’s perfect. I’ll teach you how to hide your tools during this time until dawn. Hmm,” Huanji thought for a moment and continued, “There are also some self-defense techniques. We don’t know how long we’ll be here, so you need to learn how to protect yourself as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Master!” Lisa replied obediently.

Huanji got up and searched through the resin pile, finding two similar branches to use as demonstration props, teaching Lisa how to use and hide them. (End of Chapter)
