The greatest change brought about by this battle was that it had eased the relationship between the wolves and the birds.
Previously, when the two races met, their gazes were cold. Although they were not as close as family now, they could already greet each other calmly.
The only thing that made Huanhuan unhappy was that Xue Ling had been wandering in front of her recently.
Huanhuan had no prejudice against him, but the fact that he had previously said that he would kill Sang Ye to prevent future trouble left a knot in Huanhuan’s heart.
She couldn’t help but worry about Sang Ye’s safety when she saw him, causing her to be in a bad mood each time.
Huanhuan checked the sunflowers and was in a good mood when she saw that they were all growing well.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw blood-red feathers falling from the sky.
Huanhuan’s mood immediately plummeted.
She asked angrily, “As an elder, why are you so free every day? Don’t you have anything serious to do?”
Xue Ling gave a half-smile. “You know I’m an elder and have a special status in the feather tribe. Aren’t you afraid I’ll cause trouble for your wolf tribe if you speak to me in that tone?”
Huanhuan deliberately provoked him. “Are you such a petty person?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m really such a petty person.”
Huanhuan: “…”
Ah! How could there be such a shameless person in this world?!
Xue Ling glanced at the sunflowers behind her. “I heard that the things you planted are quite delicious. When will you share some with me?”
“Pick them yourself if you want to eat them!”
Huanhuan moved aside, thinking that these mutated sunflowers were especially ferocious. As long as strangers approached them, they would be attacked. This would be a good lesson for this evil bird!
Xue Ling read her thoughts.
He smiled but didn’t expose her. He spread his huge red wings.
Huanhuan sensed that something was wrong and quickly asked, “What are you doing?”
“Of course, I can only pick their fruits if I blow these sunflowers down. After all, these things hurt when they attack people.”
Huanhuan exploded on the spot. “No! Stop!”
With a light flap of his two big wings, he could send all the sunflowers into the sky!
It was not easy to grow so many mutated sunflowers. She could not let this guy destroy them!
Xue Ling looked at her calmly. “Didn’t you ask me to pick them myself?”
Huanhuan was speechless.
She pointed at Xue Ling and said angrily, “Just you wait! Don’t move!”
Xue Ling spread his hands in a gesture of innocence.
With a belly full of temper, Huanhuan picked a bag of sunflower seeds and threw it to Xue Ling. “Go! Don’t let me see you again!”
However, Xue Ling said, “I don’t want to eat them raw. I want them cooked. I’ve seen female wolves eat those stir-fried sunflower seeds. They smell better than this.”
“If you want to eat cooked food, go home and cook it yourself!”
A cluster of flames appeared on Xue Ling’s fingertips. “You know, I’m old and my control isn’t good. It would be bad if I accidentally burned the rock mountain.”
Huanhuan shouted, “Don’t eat sunflower seeds if you’re old! What if you break your old teeth?!”
“It’s okay. I have a lot of teeth. I’m not afraid of a few of them getting crushed.”
Huanhuan said angrily, “If you’re so powerful, why don’t you go to heaven?!”
“Can being in the sky be considered very powerful? Then I’m indeed quite powerful!”
Huanhuan: “…”
Huanhuan endured her anger and admitted defeat.
Finally, Xue Ling flew away with a large bag of fragrant stir-fried sunflower seeds.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. During dinner that night, she couldn’t help but ask, “Can any of you defeat Xue Ling?”
Bai Di shook his head. “I was lucky to win against him last time. And that was only because he gave in to me. If he went all out, I wouldn’t be his match.”
Shuang Yun stroked his chin. “I definitely can’t beat that bird person alone, but if we all attack together, we should have a chance of winning.”
Sang Ye said in a low voice, “Xue Ling’s strength is unfathomable. No one here is his match.”
Huanhuan immediately deflated. “No wonder he’s so arrogant. He’s fearless!”
Bai Di stroked her head. “What is it? Did he bully you?”
“He ate our sunflower seeds without paying. Does that count as bullying?”
Bai Di was silent for a moment, then he said, “I’ll ask him for money tomorrow.”
“Forget it. Those sunflower seeds aren’t worth much. If he wants them, he can have them. Don’t look for him, or you’ll lose out again.”
She didn’t care about the money, but she couldn’t take it lying down.
The next day, Xue Ling came looking for her again.
“Your stir-fried melon seeds taste good. Give me some more.”
Huanhuan was very unhappy. “No!”
“Don’t you have a lot of sunflowers in your vegetable fields? Why don’t I pick some for you?”
Huanhuan immediately stopped him. “You’re not allowed to ruin my vegetable fields!”
She angrily packed up the sunflower seeds Bai Di had just stir-fried and threw them at him, telling him to take them and get lost.
Xue Ling smiled and took out a seed for Huanhuan. “I won’t eat your food for nothing. This is my gift to you in return.”
The white seed was a little green at the tip. It was only the size of a thumb and looked a little like a lotus seed.
Huanhuan’s interest was slowly piqued by the seed. “What seed is this?”
“It’s called a skullcap. It blooms when it grows up. It’s quite beautiful. I heard many females like it.”
He had wanted to wait until Huanhuan gave birth before giving her the seed, but the atmosphere was quite good now, so he gave it away early.
She slowly took the seed and realized that it really looked like a lotus seed.
She couldn’t resist asking, “How do I plant it?”
“Give it a drop of blood and throw it in the pond. It’ll grow on its own.”
This was the first time Huanhuan had heard that planting flowers required blood. She asked suspiciously, “Are you kidding me?”
“What good will it do me to fool you?”
Xue Ling flew away with the stir-fried sunflower seeds.
Huanhuan flipped through the illustrated book of plants and animals. She searched from beginning to end but could not find any records of skullcaps.
She asked the system, “Little Brat, why isn’t there any information about skullcaps in the sheepskin book?”
“This is only the first part of the sheepskin illustrated book. The records of skullcaps are in another illustrated book.”
Huanhuan was a little surprised. “Like the Divine Wood seed, it’s not in this book. Could it be that skullcaps are a high-level plant like the Divine Wood?”
“The host doesn’t have enough authority to answer.”
After hesitating for a long time, she squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the seed.
The seed seemed to have a life of its own and quickly absorbed the blood.
The originally white seed skin immediately turned into a cute light pink color.
Huanhuan lowered the seed into the pond at the foot of the mountain.
It didn’t take long for the seed to sprout and grow.
Green leaves grew on the surface of the originally empty pond. They were piled together and looked rather beautiful.
In the middle of the pond stood a small pale pink flower bud.
It was the bud of a skullcap.
