I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

119 Bait
Now that the babies had started to read, they didn’t go to sleep directly after bathing every day. Instead, they had an additional project of reviewing their homework.

“Alright, you guys go first. Mother still has things to do.”

After Mo Ruyue replied, she lowered her head and looked at her notes again.

After the babies finished bathing, they changed into clean white clothes and returned to the “classroom”, feeling refreshed. They sat behind their respective desks and began to review the content they had learned today.

Da Bao and Er Bao had learned more knowledge, so they took longer to review. However, after only two hours, Mo Ruyue urged them to rest.

Only by balancing work and rest could they learn better and more. Mo Ruyue didn’t want them to become bookworms who only knew how to study.

Although the next day Mo Ruyue wasn’t on duty at Huichun Hall, she went to the restaurant to hand in the game.

She did not go hunting in the mountains for the past few days. In order to not break the contract, she got up in the middle of the night and went hunting in the mountains.

Other than some equipment that she needed to bring along as a cover, such as torches, hemp ropes, and machetes, the rest of her weapons and tools were all in her interspace, which was very convenient.

She had left home too early and the other babies had not woken up yet. In order to prevent the babies from getting anxious when they woke up and did not see her, Mo Ruyue could only wake Da Bao up and tell him where she was.

“Mother, it’s still late at night. There are ferocious beasts on the mountain. It’s too dangerous.” Da Bao lowered his voice as he was afraid of waking his siblings.

He was still a little drowsy at first, but after hearing Mo Ruyue’s words, he was completely awake.

“It’s not the first time I am going hunting for beasts. Have you forgotten how I encountered a tiger last time? Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Mo Ruyue now felt that it was reasonable for the children to be worried about her. However, she couldn’t let them worry too much. Otherwise, with her previous personality, she would have left as she pleased. Why would she even leave a message?

That was impossible!

Da Bao frowned, but he didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He knew Mo Ruyue’s ability, and he was familiar with her personality. He knew that it was a great improvement to leave a message for him. He couldn’t persuade her.

“Then be careful and come back soon. Otherwise, you’ll be late to the county.”

Da Bao had also learned his lesson. Now he started to beat around the bush. He didn’t tell the truth about his worries and used Guanglai Tower as a pretense. Mo Ruyue didn’t expose him and only nodded. “Don’t worry. Come and bolt the door with me. Then sleep for a while.”

The two of them reached the door together. Da Bao watched as the flame grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared into the darkness. Then, he closed the door and returned to his room.

However, he couldn’t help but worry about Mo Ruyue’s safety. He tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep.

Mo Ruyue had changed her equipment the moment she entered the mountain. She was equipped with the weapons that she had made in the tool room.

Whether it was the improved hook rope, the triangular stiletto made of refined iron, or the set of protective equipment on his body, they all emanated a cold and bloodthirsty aura.

Previously, Mo Ruyue had bought a batch of ironware from the blacksmith’s shop. She had dismantled countless hoes, pots, and shovels before finally refining a piece of refined iron and forging two triangular military thorns.

After comparing many melee weapons, Mo Ruyue favored this kind of extremely simple and lethal weapon the most, especially after she changed the bloodletting groove of the straight blade into a rotating blade groove. The double violence of appearance and practicality was highly unified, and it was more useful than any knife, spear, sword, or halberd.

The torch in her hand was replaced by an oil lamp. In terms of light stability, it was much more effective than a torch.

At the same time, because of the heat insulation lamp, the flame of the kerosene lamp was not high, and it would not trigger the fear of fire in wild beasts, which could make the nocturnal beasts bolder to approach.

This was also Mo Ruyue’s plan. She would use herself as bait to lure the beast.

As soon as she approached the back mountain, she heard the howls of wolves.

The animals in the summer were all lean, and their furs had become short and messy due to the change of seasons. Moreover, wolf meat had a fishy smell, so Mo Ruyue did not list wolves as her hunting targets.

However, if the wolf pack wanted to attack her, then she couldn’t be blamed for taking action.

This time, she came to the mountains for wild boars, tigers, and especially leopards. It was said that a complete leopard skin was even more expensive than tiger skin. It was rare for mountain people to see a leopard in their entire lives, not to mention that there were more tiger skins than leopard skins in the market outside.

After walking into the mountain for half an incense’s time, Mo Ruyue sensed that she was being watched. It was a pack of wolves.

In general, when there was a lot of food, wolves would only move in the deep mountains. It was summer now, the time when there was no need to worry about food sources. Why would there suddenly be wolves near the foot of the mountain where there were signs of human habitation?

Although Mo Ruyue was surrounded alone, she was confident because of her skills and wasn’t afraid. But when she thought of the wolves appearing in such a close place, what if there was a shortage of food in winter? Would they go down the mountain and hurt people?

At that time, the babies happened to be studying in the neighboring village, and they had to go out in the morning and night. The probability of running into wolves was simply too high. Although they all practiced martial arts for self-defense, how could they be the opponents of this group of cunning wolves?

Although the wolf pack had not yet started to surround Mo Ruyue, Mo Ruyue already had the intention to kill the wolf pack when she thought of her babies.

As soon as her killing intent rose, the wolf pack behind her began to hesitate. They pulled the distance between them further, but they still followed her and refused to give up.

However, as she walked forward vigilantly, she didn’t sense any killing intent from the wolves. Even their eyes were not as cold and sharp as those of a prey.

Mo Ruyue walked for a bit and then stopped. That strange feeling of disharmony made her feel a little curious.

If they weren’t hunting her like prey, then what was the point of following her all the way?

As soon as she stopped and restrained her evil aura, the wolves that were following her from a distance slowly gathered. Cold green lights lit up in the dark jungle, and those who were not brave enough would easily wet their pants.

Mo Ruyue stepped back and leaned against a big tree to prevent wolves from attacking from behind. The triangular bayonet in her hand was slowly inserted into the belt on her waist.

Her gaze slowly swept across the pack of wolves surrounding her. The strange thing was that all the wolves that made eye contact with her turned their heads away. None of them looked back at her or lowered their heads to give her a warning.

“Do you have something you need my help with?”

Mo Ruyue suddenly asked the wolf pack. She had always felt that the wolves were even more cunning than the foxes, so when she asked the wolf pack this question, she also felt that they could understand.

The pack of wolves suddenly split to the sides, and two “lights” that were brighter than the other “cold lights” slowly floated over. Mo Ruyue saw that it was a giant black wolf that was twice the size of the other wolves and not much smaller than a calf.

It was the wolf king!
