Xue Ling said, “Our family has been very busy recently. In addition, He Guang and his beast soldiers are still staying at the foot of the mountain. I don’t want the Divine Wood clan to cause trouble again, so I asked Xue Hui to bring them to Chang Gu.”
Huanhuan quickly asked, “Won’t it cause trouble for Chang Gu?”
“No. The last time I saw Chang Gu, he specially told me to ask Xue Hui to go find him if she came to look for us.”
Huanhuan blinked. “Chang Gu knows Xue Hui?”
“Yes, they fought side by side when the insect disaster came in the past. They can be considered comrades.”
“Then they must be quite close, right?”
“Their relationship is indeed very good. I used to think that the two of them would become a couple and specially created many opportunities for them to get along. Unfortunately, Chang Gu is clueless about relationships. In the end, he actually told me that he only treated Xue Hui as his sister and had no intention of becoming mates with her.”
Xue Ling couldn’t help but laugh. She was amused by Chang Gu.
After Huanhuan learned that she could still communicate with Sang Ye, she felt much more relaxed. There was even a smile on her face. “You have to let nature take its course. If they’re really fated, they can get together even if you don’t do anything. But if they’re not fated, no matter how anxious outsiders are, it’s useless.”
Xue Ling’s thumb brushed her lips. “Just like when I wooed you? If you had insisted on refusing to accept me, it’d be useless no matter how others matched us together.”
Huanhuan was very confused. “Did you pursue me before?”
Xue Ling replied with absolute certainty, “Yes.”
He had even confessed many times. He also gave her his feathers and asked others to help put in a good word for him. He had used all kinds of tricks in the past, but she was indifferent.
Huanhuan looked innocent. “But those confessions you told me before were just a joke.”
“Then have you ever seen me confess to other females jokingly? My jokes are only for you. They were such obvious confessions, but you couldn’t even tell. Your little head is empty, isn’t it?”
Huanhuan snorted. “Yes, I’m stupid, while you’re so smart. You shouldn’t fall for me!”
Xue Ling rubbed against her. “I’m actually dumber than you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken a fancy to a little fool like you.”
“Hey! Who are you calling a little fool?!”
Xue Ling looked at her with a smile. “Whoever responds to me is a little fool.”
Huanhuan was so angry that she pounced on him and bit his chin.
During dinner, Shuang Yun saw the bite mark on Xue Ling’s chin and immediately laughed. “Hey, which puppy was so bold to bite our Elder Xue Ling?”
Before Xue Ling could speak, Huanhuan kicked Shuang Yun’s calf.
“You’re the puppy!”
Shuang Yun turned around and grabbed her foot with his leg. “So it was you who bit him?”
“He asked for it.” Huanhuan pulled hard but didn’t manage to pull her leg back. She couldn’t help but glare at him angrily. “Let go of me!”
Shuang Yun shamelessly leaned in front of her. “If you bite me too, I’ll let go of you.”
“You’re shameless!”
“You won’t bite me? Then I’ll take the initiative to bite you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and bit her cheek.
When Huanhuan came back to her senses, Shuang Yun had already let go of her foot and sat up straight. As if nothing had happened, he handed a big drumstick to Big Goody and said with a smile, “The chicken is not bad today. Eat more and grow taller.”
Big Goody swallowed the entire drumstick without even spitting out the bones.
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to teach Shuang Yun a lesson. She quickly shouted at Big Goody, “Hurry up and spit out the bones. What if they get stuck in your throat?!”
Big Goody said, “The bones are delicious!”
Bai Di’s chicken was very delicious. Even the bones were fragrant. They were crunchy and delicious!
Huanhuan frowned. “No matter how delicious they are, they’re still bones. Chicken bones are smaller and very sharp. They’re the most likely to stab your stomach. Spit them out.”
Under her repeated insistence, Big Goody reluctantly spat out the chicken bones.
Huanhuan reminded the six children that no matter what meat they ate in the future, they were not allowed to eat the bones.
The wolf cubs agreed dejectedly. “Howl!”
Big White and Little White did not like bones to begin with. When they heard their mother’s instructions, they obediently agreed.
The sex of the two children had been determined. Both were male beasts.
Perhaps it was their feline nature, or perhaps it was because of their father, Bai Di, but Big White and Little White were very quiet and calm. At such a young age, they were already like little adults. No matter what they did, they were serious.
Even when it came to meat, the two of them seemed to have their own principles.
They used their claws to pick the chicken meat off the bones before slowly eating it. Then, they placed the bones neatly in a wooden bucket beside them. After eating, the two of them would go out with the bucket in their mouths and bury the bones in the backyard.
During the meal, Huanhuan mentioned the Divine Wood clan.
Bai Di said, “The reason Xue Hui brought the Divine Wood clan to the rock mountain is mainly because of you.”
Xue Hui must want to know the whereabouts of the Divine Wood seed. The only person who knew the answer now was Huanhuan. The reason why Xue Hui wanted to look for Huanhuan was obvious.
Huanhuan drank the soup and said slowly, “The Divine Wood clan’s matters have nothing to do with me anymore. Even if they come looking for me, I don’t want to get involved again. They can do whatever they want.”
What she saw in Bi Huan’s memories had left a deep impression on her. She would never forget how the saintess looked when she died and the sigh she made when the Divine Wood fell.
Even the heart of nature was broken. It was obvious how much the Divine Wood clan had gone overboard.
They brought this upon themselves.
Bai Di handed the chicken burrito to Huanhuan. “Since you want to ignore them, we’ll ignore them from now on.”
“Yes, it’s not easy for us to take care of ourselves. Who has the time to care about their entire clan?”
Huanhuan opened her mouth and took a bite of the burrito. She immediately wrinkled her nose and swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty. She said unhappily, “Why didn’t you put red leaf sauce?”
Bai Di smiled. “You haven’t recovered yet. You can’t eat spicy food.”
“My injuries have healed. Take a look if you don’t believe me.”
Xuan Wei was sitting beside them. Of course, Bai Di wouldn’t pull open her clothes to look at the wound on her shoulder. He stroked her head. “Be good. Let’s eat like this today. I’ll make you an especially spicy meat pancake in two days, okay?”
Huanhuan hummed in agreement. “You said it. Don’t go back on your word.”
“Don’t worry, I always keep my word.”
