Qin Luo knew he was upset, so she didn't disturb him too much, but silently stayed with him outside the cave for seven days.

The cave entrance didn't reopen until after the old patriarch's seven-day mourning period, and Wu Hua seemed to have become a different person.

His cheeks were sunken, and he was emaciated; a strand of white hair had even grown at his temples.

Upon seeing Qin Luo for the first time, he didn't rush forward seeking comfort in a pitiful state. Instead, like a true adult, he bowed deeply to her.

He then bit his lip tightly, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Sister Beast, I have a request."

Qin Luo knew what he wanted, and she also knew that he must have gone through a lot of internal struggle before forcing himself to say it.

Not wanting to put Wu Hua in a difficult position, she interrupted him first.

"If you don't come out now, it will be too late to see me off."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hua's eyes immediately reddened. He knew it was Qin Luo who was protecting his meager dignity.

After all, he had sworn that he would rather die than let her go to the Chaos Land, but now he had gone back on his word.

He didn't want to either, but once the beastmen stepped into the Chaos Land, their companion space became useless, and they couldn't retrieve any supplies.

Furthermore, Shennong Kunfu once said that perhaps only Qin Luo could grow grain on the land of the Demon Clan.

He had just become the patriarch of the Dangkang clan, and many things were still unresolved, including the lost clan beast.

There was no way I could go and protect my kind who were about to guard the Chaos Land. The only thing I could do was ask Qin Luo to protect them for me.

Seeing his tightly clenched fists and the tears streaming down his face, Qin Luo felt a pang of heartache and hugged him tightly.

"Alright, now that you're the leader of a clan, why are you still crying so much? If the other beasts see this, they'll laugh at you."

Wu Hua reached out and hugged her back, bending slightly to rest her head on her thin shoulder.

"Sister Beast, please stay safe!"

Qin Luo patted his back lightly.

"Don't worry, your Beast Sister is pretty powerful. You just focus on being your clan leader and wait for me to come back so I can show you my achievements."

Wu Hua gave a muffled "hmm" before releasing her, then looked into her eyes with a look of deep dependence.

"Luo Luo, I'm hungry..."
