Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 223 Care

“Teacher Darui, please help me get my things down. I’m going up to steal a bird’s egg.”

Despite saying she was helping, Chu Yi stuffed everything into Darui's hands before he could even respond.

The next second, she controlled her chakra to attach to her feet and walked up.

"Wow, so many bird eggs! But these eggs are huge, two will be enough to eat."

Thinking of steamed sea urchin with egg, she inexplicably licked the corner of her mouth.

Chu Yi happily picked up one, but just as she was about to take the second one, she sensed something was off. Looking up, she saw a huge python flicking its tongue not far from her.

The shock caused her to fall from the tree.

Fortunately, Darui reacted quickly and caught her.

"Teacher, there are huge snakes, I want to go back." She hugged Darui tightly, burying her head in his chest, her face full of fear as she spoke.

Darui had wanted to remind her earlier that those weren't bird eggs, but she had disappeared in an instant. However, seeing how scared she was, he decided to explain it to her later.

At this moment, he also noticed that Chu Yi had a lot of scratches on her legs. Although they were all minor injuries, he found them irritating no matter how he looked at them.

"It's all his fault for not noticing sooner, otherwise this wouldn't have happened!"

Darui felt a pang of guilt and carried the person back to the ship.

He tried to put her down, but Chu Yi held him even tighter. He quickly comforted her, "Chu Yi, we're back on the ship now, don't be afraid."

"Your teacher will protect you."

Hearing these words, Chu Yi gradually loosened her grip, but there was still some fear on her face.

Darui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a look of heartache.

After a while, he settled her on the bed he had prepared that day and had her sit up. "Chu Yi, sit down for a bit. I'll go get some medicine."

"Okay!" she replied obediently and sweetly.

She quickly realized something, "Is the teacher injured?"

She immediately became restless and was about to stand up when Darui pressed her back down. "Chuyi, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? Has something happened?"

"Teacher, I'm fine. But are you injured?" Chu Yi looked him up and down, but couldn't see any injury. "Is your bronze skin hiding your wounds?"

With that thought in mind, Chu Yi reached out and touched Darui's chest. "No blood, it shouldn't be here."

Just as she was about to move to another spot, her hand was grabbed. Darui suppressed his agitation and said, "Chuyi, Teacher isn't hurt. That medicine is for you."

Hearing this, Chu Yi was a little confused. Wasn't she perfectly fine?

Darui noticed the look on her face. "Silly girl, you have so many cuts on your thighs, don't you feel anything?"

Chu Yi glanced down at it and said nonchalantly, "Teacher, I'm not in pain. Besides, they're just minor injuries. They'll be healed on their own tomorrow."

"No, sit still and I'll apply the medicine for you." Darui was a little angry at her indifferent attitude. She wasn't in pain, but he was worried about her.

Seeing the teacher's firm attitude, Chu Yi immediately decided not to provoke the teacher and obediently sat back down.

"Ouch... Teacher, could you be a little gentler?"

Chu Yi spoke hesitantly, and she had reason to suspect that Teacher Darui was doing it on purpose.

Darui didn't understand why his medicine turned red so quickly after he gently rubbed it in.

Hearing Chu Yi's words, he finally understood and felt even more guilty.

The purpose of applying medicine to her was to make her feel better, but now it has worsened her wound.

He took a deep breath and moved his hands much more gently than before.

Seeing that Teacher Darui's expression was not good, Chu Yi dared not make a sound in pain. "Teacher, this is taking it out on her, although I don't know what kind of anger is being directed at."

After Darui applied the ointment to her wound, he was soaked in sweat, but he was finally relieved. However, he wondered why Chu Yi's legs looked so red, which contrasted sharply with the rest of her body.

Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't understand why a disciple should let their teacher vent their anger.

Suddenly, something occurred to her. "That's right, if the teacher wanted to become a woman, she would definitely envy her flawless skin."

Upon learning the truth, Chu Yi had already decided to forgive the teacher's behavior.

Darui looked up at Chuyi and noticed that her furrowed brows had relaxed. He understood immediately. "Silly girl, you knew to say it when it hurt, but why didn't you say it later?"

"Teacher, I'm not in pain." Chu Yi quickly shook her head, giving Darui a knowing look, which puzzled him. "You should rest first, I'll go get you something to eat."

Is this an attempt to shut her up with food?

After Darui left, Chuyi immediately focused her spiritual energy on her thigh for a while, which made her feel much better.

After finishing this, she felt sleepy, yawned, and lay down to sleep.

Darui returned shortly afterward, and seeing that she was asleep, he did not wake her, but stayed by her side.

Chu Yi didn't sleep well this time; she even had a dream filled with snakes that kept chasing her.

Darui immediately noticed Chuyi's unusual behavior and gently took her hand, wanting her to know that he was right beside her.

"Don't eat me..."

Suddenly, Chu Yi was startled awake from her dream and sat up abruptly.

Seeing her teacher, Darui, she turned and hugged her tightly, saying, "Teacher, I dreamt that I was almost eaten by a snake. I'm scared."

"It's alright, it's just a dream," Darui said gently, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Teacher, I'm too scared to sleep." She hugged Darui tightly, her face still showing signs of being terrified.

Darui sighed and pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid, your teacher is here."

After a long while, he loosened his grip slightly, looked down at her, and asked, "Are you feeling better? Do you want something to eat?"

"Teacher, I'm not hungry, I just have a request." Chu Yi leaned against Darui's chest, a little embarrassed to speak.

"Hmm? Tell me what you're asking for. I'll grant you anything that I can do." Darui stared intently at her, waiting for her to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Yi finally spoke up, "Teacher, can I hold you while I sleep?"

She felt safe and secure sleeping with her teacher in her arms, believing she wouldn't have any dreams. However, after waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, she realized it was a bit unreasonable.

Just as she was about to say something, Darui spoke up, "Chuyi, this bed isn't big enough for me. Can I hold you while you sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi's face lit up with joy. "Great! It sounds just like that."

Then she made another request, “Teacher Darui, I want to sleep while looking at the scenery.”

As a disciple of her own, Darui naturally did as she wished, picking her up and carrying her out of the cabin. He found a good spot on the deck before putting her down.

Chu Yiyi nestled in Darui's arms, her face no longer showing the fear she had when they first met, but instead filled with dependence.

"Teacher, you're so kind!" Chu Yi kissed Darui on the cheek and sat up obediently, gazing at the stars in the sky.

Darui was bewildered by Chuyi's behavior for a while. "What does she mean by this?"

"Is that what he meant?"

Actually, he's only a little older than Chu Yi, so it's not like they can't be together.

Thinking this, Darui unconsciously clenched his fists tighter, his mind filled with images of their future life together. "With her by my side, life will definitely be full of fun."

She needs to be carefully protected like a little white rabbit; he wouldn't trust anyone else with her.
