Sang Ye’s confession made Lin Huanhuan unable to reject him.

It touched her that he got himself so badly injured to save her.

She couldn’t leave him.

Lin Huanhuan thought for a long time before saying, “Come back with me first. We’ll talk about mating after you recover, okay?”

Mating was no small matter. She had to go back and ask the two at home what they thought before she made a decision.

Sang Ye knew she was wavering.

He was very happy, but at the same time, he was a little sad.

It was too bad the timing wasn’t right.

In order to rush back as soon as possible, Sang Ye did not bother to clean up his tracks. The beasts of the boar tribe must have followed the tracks he left. They were probably still chasing after him.

Sang Ye was seriously injured and would not recover anytime soon.

He could not protect the little female now. He could only let her leave for the time being, lest she was harmed by the beasts of the boar tribe as well.

Sang Ye said to her helplessly, “I’m injured and can’t move for the time being, but you need food to survive. You have to go back alone now. Come find me when you find food and reinforcements.”

Lin Huanhuan was worried about him, but she couldn’t help if she stayed here.

She gritted her teeth. Instead of sitting here and doing nothing, she might as well fight!

“Alright, I’ll go back and get others to save you. You have to wait for me!”

Sang Ye extended his snake tongue and took down the black gem pendant on his forehead. He gently placed it in Lin Huanhuan’s hand.

“It’s a divine stone my mother left me. Keep it close to you. I can sense your safety through it.”

Lin Huanhuan took the black gem pendant and hung it around her neck. She held the black gem pendant tightly and said firmly, “I’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Be careful. I’ll be here waiting for you.”

Lin Huanhuan left all the remaining food to Sang Ye. She put all the seeds into her fanny pack and walked out of the cave into the snowstorm.

Sang Ye watched her leave.

He couldn’t bear to look away until she completely disappeared into the snow.

He was right. Soon, the beasts of the boar tribe managed to find him following the trail.

The torches in their hands had long since been blown out by the snow.

After finding the python, they immediately dug out the firewood and flint they carried with them. They were prepared to light torches and burn this hateful python to death.

However, Sang Ye did not give them the chance.

The python suddenly darted out of the cave, opened its bloody mouth, and bit at the wild boar beasts!

…

The wind and snow stung her skin, but Lin Huanhuan refused to stop. She ran in the direction of the rock mountain.

The snow was deep. She had fallen several times, and her body was already covered in slush.

When the wind blew, it froze her blood.

Lin Huanhuan gritted her teeth and got up. She had to go back quickly! Sang Ye was still waiting for her!

She continued to stumble along.

She didn’t know how long she ran, but it was almost dark. The rock mountain was still so far away.

Lin Huanhuan was panting heavily. Her frozen limbs were abnormally red from the intense exercise. Her head and shoulders were covered in thick snow.

Her body, which had not fully recovered from the illness, finally could not take it anymore. She fell down again.

Lin Huanhuan struggled to get up, but her body couldn’t muster any strength. She seemed to be unable to move.

The wind and snow were still blowing. The snow quickly covered her body.

If this continued, she would be buried alive.

At that moment, there were shouts in the distance.

“Huanhuan! Where are you?”

Lin Huanhuan immediately looked up. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. She realized that it was Bai Di’s voice!

With the last bit of her strength, she shouted weakly, “I’m here!”

The sound of the wind quickly drowned her out. She wondered if Bai Di had heard her.

If she didn’t hear him, she would be furious at her circumstances.

Fortunately, Bai Di heard her.

He quickly rushed to Lin Huanhuan and dug her out of the snow.

Bai Di’s heart tightened at the sight of her trembling and weak limbs. He quickly took out the wine he had brought with him and poured two mouthfuls into her mouth.

The spicy taste surged into her body down her throat, pulling the weak Lin Huanhuan back from the edge of unconsciousness.

Her voice was extremely hoarse and weak. “We need to go save someone…”

Sang Ye was still waiting for someone to save him.

Bai Di hugged her tightly. “Don’t say anything yet. We can talk about it when we get back.”

He carried Lin Huanhuan and rushed back.

On the way, they encountered Shuang Yun and the others who had also come down the mountain to look for them.

When they heard that Lin Huanhuan had been found, they were very surprised. They hurriedly escorted her back to the rock mountain.

Lin Huanhuan was sent to the old witch doctor’s house.

At this moment, Huanhuan had fallen into a coma. She was running a fever, and her body temperature was extremely high. She was still talking, though.

“Save… Save him… Quickly save him…”

Everyone took it that she was talking nonsense and did not take it to heart.

Lang Zhu spent a lot of effort and tried many ways to help Lin Huanhuan’s fever subside.

Due to the effects of the medicine, Lin Huanhuan was still unconscious. Bai Di carefully carried her home.

Shuang Yun followed her in. He stared at her without blinking, his eyes full of fatigue.

The two of them stood by the bed for a long time. When Jiu Yuan arrived, they came back to their senses and reluctantly walked out of the bedroom.

Jiu Yuan immediately explained his intentions.

“Chief, bad news. Ya Qiu and Ma Qing ran away!”

Shuang Yun raised his eyebrows, looking very unhappy. “What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on them?”

Jiu Yuan quickly explained everything from beginning to end.

Shuang Yun knew that Ya Qiu and Ma Qing must have other matters to attend to if they suddenly visited at this time. Just in case, Shuang Yun specially asked someone to keep an eye on the two of them. He should report to him immediately if anything happened.

However, Ma Qing was very cunning. When Shuang Yun brought his men down the mountain to find Huanhuan, he ran away with Ya Qiu and more than 50 male beasts.

Some of the 50 or so beasts were Lia’s mates.

After Lia’s death, 29 of her mates suffered a backlash from the mate bond. 20 of them didn’t make it and died.

The remaining nine male beasts were also injured to varying degrees. Ma Qing took them all away.

Bai Di didn’t care about what happened between the wolves, and he rarely interfered in their internal decisions.

But this time, after listening to Jiu Yuan’s account, he frowned.

“That Ma Qing is not simple. If we let him go just like that, we’ll undoubtedly be letting the tiger return to its den. There’ll be endless trouble!”

Jiu Yuan echoed, “We’ve cleaned up Li Wei’s body, but her male mates must know that she’s been killed. When they go back, they’ll definitely think of ways to take revenge on us. We have to be wary!”

Shuang Yun thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. He would strike first!

“I’ll bring people to chase after Ma Qing and the others. We have to kill them before they return to the Black River Wolf Tribe!”
