Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 289 Trapped in the Mountains.

The rain kept pouring down.

Luckily, despite the bad luck, they ended up surrounded by nature, with tall trees and dense foliage offering some relief from the wind and rain.

At that moment, Stephanie, sent flying two meters away by Milly’s kick, also started returning to her

senses.

She cradled her head in one hand and supported herself with the other, her expression one of pain and frailty, her voice breaking with tears, “It hurts so much.”

Milly raised an eyebrow. Really, are you still putting on an act?

“Come on, cut it out. It’s only us here.”

Unexpectedly, it worked. Stephanie, who had been calm and gentle moments before, suddenly froze. After a quick glance around, realising they were alone, her expression turned fierce, her eyes filled with a deadly intensity as she exclaimed, “Milly, why are you still alive!”

Milly gave her a contemptuous look, saying, “Looks like that’s tough for you. The fortune teller told me I’ve got a strong destiny on my side. Mess with me, and you’ll get hit back. I’ll survive even if you don’t.”

Stephanie’s eyes narrowed, filled with a fierce and hostile spark. “Really now? I’ve had the guts to go after you once; I’ll do it again without blinking.”

Leaning against the tree behind her, she braced herself, ready to get back on her feet.

Milly wasn’t worried about those threats at all. She just crossed her arms and looked her in the eye, bursting out laughing, “You’re more likely to die before you can even touch me.”

“See this tree you’re leaning on? It’s called poison arrowwood, but some call it the throat–sealing tree. It’s the deadliest tree around, packed with poison. It could stop your heart, clot your blood, block your veins, and you might stop breathing in less than twenty minutes. And guess what? The World Health Organization hasn’t even found a cure yet.”

“Ah!”
