This was Xuan Wei’s first time stepping into the interior of the rock mountain.
When he saw the structure of the mountain, his usually calm eyes revealed a rare look of surprise.
Shuang Yun transformed into a Silvery Frost White Wolf and carried Huanhuan back.
The wolf cubs were especially excited. They kept running forward and back, their big tails wagging very happily.
In contrast, Big White and Little White were much calmer. They slowly followed behind Shuang Yun. They puffed out their chests and raised their heads. Their gait was elegant, and their expressions were reserved.
Seeing Huanhuan and the others return, many beasts came forward to greet them.
Especially those cubs. When they saw Huanhuan, they kept calling out to her, “Teacher!”
Huanhuan’s heart warmed from all the yells. She took out a large handful of jerky from her pocket and gave it to these children as snacks.
Bai Di slowed down slightly. “Please don’t tell anyone what you saw here today,” he said to Xuan Wei.
Xuan Wei looked at him deeply. “Okay.”
Upon returning home, Huanhuan returned to a familiar environment. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Home was the best!
Shuang Yun returned to human form and put on his hide skirt. He brought a large pot of steaming meat soup from the kitchen.
From the looks of the color, it seemed pretty good.
He greeted them all warmly with soup.
Huanhuan asked, “Have you tried this soup?”
“No, I was waiting for you to come back. We’ll have the soup together!”
Huanhuan suggested sincerely, “Drink it first. If you think it tastes good, we’ll drink it with you.”
Shuang Yun was immediately unhappy. “Are you doubting my cooking skills?”
Huanhuan wanted to say, ‘I don’t doubt your cooking skills. I’m very certain that you’re not good at cooking!’
But she couldn’t say that.
Otherwise, Shuang Yun would definitely explode.
She cleared her throat. “You’re imagining things.”
Shuang Yun looked at Xue Ling. “You drink it.”
Xue Ling immediately covered his stomach. “My stomach isn’t feeling too well.”
He looked at Bai Di.
Bai Di smiled. “I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat yet.”
In the end, only Sang Ye took the soup from Shuang Yun.
Under everyone’s gaze, Sang Ye finished the entire bowl of soup without changing his expression.
Shuang Yun asked expectantly, “How does it taste?”
Sang Ye was very calm. “It doesn’t taste of anything.”
Shuang Yun was very surprised. “Huh? I clearly put a lot of seasonings in it. How can it have no taste?”
“I can’t taste it.”
Shuang Yun still did not believe that the soup he made would be tasteless. He scooped another bowl of meat soup and handed it to Xuan Wei. “Try it.”
Xuan Wei acutely realized that everyone’s gazes on him had suddenly become very subtle. Could it be that there was something wrong with this bowl of soup? However, he had just seen Sang Ye drink it all in one go. There was no problem at all. From this, it seemed that even if the taste was not good, it definitely wouldn’t kill him.
After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Wei couldn’t resist Shuang Yun’s enthusiasm in the end. He lowered his head and drank a large mouthful of meat soup.
Xuan Wei: “…”
Shuang Yun quickly asked, “How is it? Does it taste good?”
Xuan Wei calmly put down the bowl, turned around, and walked out the door. He spat out all the meat soup in his mouth.
Shuang Yun was speechless.
Although it was very unkind, Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Bai Di and Xue Ling couldn’t help but laugh when she laughed. Even Sang Ye looked helpless.
Shuang Yun was furious. “You’re actually laughing at me?!”
Huanhuan hugged his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “I haven’t seen you in a long time. I missed you so much!”
Shuang Yun’s anger dissipated at her kiss.
He snorted. “Liar. If you really missed me, why are you laughing at me?”
“Because I think you’re cute.”
The tips of Shuang Yun’s ears turned slightly red. “But you can’t tease me.”
“I won’t laugh at you anymore.” Huanhuan couldn’t help but pinch the tip of his ear. “Are you shy?”
Shuang Yun defended himself loudly. “What a joke. As the leader of the Rock Wolf Tribe, how can I be shy?!”
Huanhuan smiled even more happily.
She realized that as long as one got used to Shuang Yun’s personality, one would realize that this guy was a classic example of someone who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He always said that he didn’t want something, but he really wanted it in his heart. The more she looked at him, the cuter she thought he was!
No one dared to drink Shuang Yun’s soup. In the end, Bai Di personally cooked a large pot of boiled chicken.
The delicious and tender chicken made everyone drool.
Huanhuan ate two large buns in one go with the chicken. She was so full that her stomach was bulging.
There were not enough rooms at home. Hence, Huanhuan let Bai Di stay in her bedroom for the night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Xuan Wei went out alone.
He was very interested in the structure of the rock mountain. If he saw something interesting, he would stop and take a few more glances.
Xue Ling had returned to the feather tribe. He had something to discuss with Shen Yan.
Huanhuan brought the children to class, leaving Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye at home.
Bai Di told them about their escape from the City of 10,000 Beasts to the Divine Wood City and back to the rock mountain.
His words were concise and accurate. There was no exaggeration at all.
Even so, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye could still imagine how intense it was when Huanhuan and the others were being chased.
Bai Di said seriously, “Although we were lucky to avoid the beasts from the City of 10,000 Beasts, they definitely won’t let us go. They might continue to chase us to the rock mountain. We have to take precautions.”
Shuang Yun said, “While you were gone, we’ve been strengthening the defenses. As long as the other party doesn’t send more than 1,000 pursuers, it should be impossible to take down the rock mountain.”
As for concerns about food, there was no need to worry about that at all.
There were vegetable fields and fruit forests at the foot of the mountain. Vegetarian beasts were completely self-sufficient.
In addition, they were also raising a lot of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep in the fruit forest. There were a lot of animals, and they could all be used as reserve food. They probably had enough food to last them a year.
In addition, the Rock Wolf Tribe awakened 10 more soul beasts during this period of time.
Although they were only low-level one-starred soul beasts, their strength was worthy of praise in any tribe!
They were no longer the small Rock Wolf Tribe that was once forced into a corner by a mere Black River Wolf Tribe. The current Rock Wolf Tribe was comparable to a low-level beast city. It would be difficult to take them down.
Bai Di nodded. “With our current strength, we don’t have to tremble in fear like we used to. But we still have to be on guard.”
Shuang Yun gave him a reassuring expression. “I’ll arrange for people to patrol day and night and strengthen the defense. As soon as we notice an enemy approaching, we’ll immediately enter combat mode.”
“Yes, that would be best.”
Sang Ye, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, “Should we be wary of He Guang?”
