Huanhuan learned that Sang Ye was back and immediately ran to look for him.

She knocked on the door.

Before long, the door opened.

Sang Ye looked down at the little female in front of him. “Why are you up so early?”

“It’s boring to sleep under the blanket alone.” Huanhuan saw the remaining snow on his clothes and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you go down the mountain just now?”

Sang Ye replied, “Yes.”

“It’s still snowing outside. It’s very cold. Remember to wear more clothes when you go down the mountain. Don’t catch a cold.”

Faced with her concern, Sang Ye couldn’t help but touch her face. “I understand.”

His fingers were especially cold, and Huanhuan shrank away from the cold.

Sang Ye immediately retracted his hand. “Sorry.”

Huanhuan quickly took his hand and realized that it was really very cold, almost like ice. She asked with concern, “Are you sick from the cold?”

“No. My temperature is lower than that of ordinary beasts to begin with, especially in winter.”

Huanhuan said, “But your hands aren’t usually so cold!”

“Maybe it’s because I went out just now.”

Huanhuan rubbed his hand and breathed on his fingertips, wanting to warm him up.

Sang Ye said, “It’s alright. I don’t feel cold.”

“You’re almost frozen into ice. How can you not be cold?!” Huanhuan rubbed his hands for a long time but did not feel them heat up, so she pushed him into the room. “Let me go in and heat up the brazier for you.”

Sang Ye took two steps back, and Huanhuan walked into the room. She looked around and realized that there was not even a trace of charcoal in the brazier.

She was instantly anxious. “Why didn’t you light a fire? Aren’t you afraid of freezing to death in this cold?”

Sang Ye said, “In any case, I can’t feel cold or hot. It doesn’t matter if I light a fire or not. If I don’t light a fire, I can save some charcoal.”

Huanhuan laughed in anger. “Do you think our family needs to save charcoal?”

She found charcoal and put it in the brazier. She then got the kindling and carefully lit it.

Sang Ye said, “Go to the side and rest. I’ll light it.”

Huanhuan ignored him and used a wooden stick to poke the charcoal in the brazier loose so that the air could enter.

Sang Ye stayed by her side and watched her movements, afraid that she would accidentally burn herself.

Fortunately, Huanhuan was good at it. She quickly lit a fire without burning herself at all.

She stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes.

Sang Ye quickly said, “Take off your clothes. I’ll wash them for you.”

He was still expressionless when he said this, but Huanhuan could see the fawning in his eyes.

He was worried that Huanhuan was still angry.

Huanhuan snorted. “I don’t want you to wash them. I can wash them myself.”

Sang Ye stared at her. “The water is cold. Your hands will freeze. Let me do it.”

“Your hands are almost frozen. You have no right to judge me.”

Sang Ye was speechless.

Huanhuan turned around and sat on the bed. She deliberately ignored Sang Ye, and her eyes wandered around the room. Soon, she noticed the black wooden box on the bed.

The wooden box was unfamiliar. She had never seen it before.

She couldn’t resist asking, “What is this?”

Sang Ye said, “It’s my mother’s ashes.”

Huanhuan was so frightened that she immediately stood up.

This was her mother-in-law!

She quickly clasped her hands together and bowed to the wooden box. She quickly read, “I’m sorry, Mother-in-law. I didn’t know you were here just now and didn’t greet you. Please don’t blame me.”

Sang Ye said, “She’s been dead for many years. She can’t hear what you’re saying.”

“You don’t understand. The dead are important. Even if she can’t hear us, we have to respect her.”

Sang Ye had no choice but to shut up.

Huanhuan bent down at a 90-degree angle and bowed. Then, she stood up straight and turned to look at Sang Ye. “Why are your mother’s ashes here? Why haven’t I seen them before?”

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Sang Ye was happy. He replied truthfully, “Uncle sent this to me.”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Your uncle? The king cobra who fed you Forgetting Water?!”

Sang Ye nodded. “That’s him.”

“Isn’t he a demon? How could you see him?!”

“He came to see me. We just met in the forest.”

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Did he come alone?”

“I only saw him. I don’t know if anyone was hiding in the shadows.”

No matter how Huanhuan thought about it, this matter was very strange. “Why did he come to you? Is he going to tie you up and force you to swear loyalty to the demons again?”

“He told me something about my mother. He even gave me her ashes.”

Huanhuan looked at the black wooden box again. “This is your mother’s ashes. How are you going to settle them? You can’t keep leaving her here, right?”

Sang Ye said, “Uncle asked me to bring my mother’s ashes to Dark Moon City to be buried with my father.”

“Does that mean you have to go to Dark Moon City?”

“Yeah.”

Huanhuan immediately frowned and was very worried. “You’re the most wanted person in Dark Moon City. If you go back, won’t you be walking into a trap? This is too dangerous!”

“But this is my mother’s last wish.”

Although he had no feelings for his mother, she was still his biological mother. As her only son, he had to be filial.

He couldn’t ignore her last wish.

Huanhuan gritted her teeth. “Your uncle is too bad. He actually threw such a difficult problem at you. Why didn’t he go to Dark Moon City himself?!”

“He said that he’s a demon, so it’s not convenient for him to walk on the beast continent.”

“You make it sound like you’re not a demon! He just thinks you’re easy to bully and deliberately fooled you. The next time you see him, don’t be polite to him. Beat him up!”

Sang Ye nodded. “Okay.”

Seeing that he agreed obediently, Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “He’s your biological uncle. Can you really do it?”

“I’ll hit whoever you want me to.”

Huanhuan laughed at him. She reached out and poked his chest. “Don’t think you can make me forgive you with sweet nothings.”

Sang Ye did not move and let her poke him. He looked down at her. “Then what will make you forgive me?”

“You have to promise me that you won’t freeze yourself to death. You have to take care of yourself and make me feel at ease. Do you understand?”

Sang Ye nodded. “I’ll remember.”

“I believe you. Don’t disappoint me.”

“Okay.”

Huanhuan smiled at his promise and jumped into his arms.

Sang Ye hugged her and lifted her up.

Huanhuan suddenly remembered that her mother-in-law’s ashes were beside her. She couldn’t get carried away. She quickly said, “Put me down!”

Sang Ye lowered her to the ground. “What’s wrong?”

Huanhuan pointed at the black wooden box and whispered, “Your mother is watching from the side. We have to act accordingly. We can’t let her get angry.”

Sang Ye did not understand how a dead beast could get angry, but since the little female said so, he would do as she said.

In any case, nothing mattered as long as Huanhuan was happy.
