The black bear that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were talking about had just woken up.

It was either because Jun Qi's spell was too powerful, or because he had been sleeping for a long time. He had been sleeping for several years, and coincidentally, he only started to show signs of waking up in the last few days.

The black bear opened its eyes and looked at the huge rock pressing down on it. Sunlight was streaming down from it, making it look very bright, indicating that it was a sunny day outside.

"Oh no, what happened?"

The black bear blinked, still not quite understanding why it was there, having slept for so long.

With a loud bang.

Dust rose up everywhere.

He pushed away the rock that was pressing down on him, sat up from the pit, and looked around. His beady black eyes were full of confusion.

For nature, renewal and replacement are very rapid, and changing an environment can also be a very quick thing.

During the years the black bear slept, green grass grew everywhere around him, and even the cracks in the broken stones sprouted resilient grass, creating a vibrant scene.

Where is this...?

The black bear was still dizzy. He slowly crawled out of the pit, his short legs swinging vigorously, and finally climbed out.

Who brought me, Old Bear, to this place?

The black bear racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. However, when he saw the familiar stream, all his memories suddenly came back. This wasn't some remote, secluded place; it was his home.

"Awooo!"

Not bad, not bad. Since this is our own home, there's nothing else to do. Time to eat!

The black bear patted his belly. After sleeping for so long, he didn't have much fat stored up. He had starved himself to the point of losing a lot of weight. He was now considered one of the slimmer ones in the bear clan.

This area has recovered to its original state in recent years without the damage caused by black bears, especially the places where honey is stored.

He didn't spend much effort; the forest was practically his territory. Unless the large animals were specifically looking for revenge, they wouldn't come here.

Therefore, there is plenty of food available for him here.

Even the stream has started to have some fish, but they're all small, not even big enough to fill a tooth gap.

After glancing at it, the black bear let out two disgusted howls and then decisively went to find other food.

......

Here, Xu Qiaoqiao finally found the source of the information asymmetry between her and Jun Qi.

After hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi was completely dumbfounded.

He suddenly remembered what happened that day, and his face twisted in pain, but there was definitely no trace of Xu Qiaoqiao in that place.

However, he overlooked one thing: the rich honey flavor.

The beastmen living here are actually very few black bears; to be precise, bears are very few in total, so you can count the bears on one hand.

Moreover, honey is something that only bears like to eat. The rest are just small, weak animals that are not big enough to take Xu Qiaoqiao away. They are not even as big as Xu Qiaoqiao at that time.

Jun Qi thought about it for a while, and then realized that it seemed that he had indeed made a mistake.

After Xu Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she just stared at Jun Qi's face, watching him show a variety of expressions, from distress to regret to speechlessness, all vividly portrayed on his tiger-like face.

Oh dear, judging from your appearance, you probably really don't know about this!

No wonder she didn't go all out before. I thought Junjun was kind-hearted, Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself. Of course, it was also because their information was out of sync at that time, which caused this misunderstanding.

So what's the situation now?

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi with interest, but seeing his conflicted expression, she couldn't even enjoy her meat anymore.

Indeed, my Junjun is the cutest.

After reading it, Xu Qiaoqiao came to this conclusion.

"I don't know."

After thinking it through, Jun Qi realized that what he had done was rather ridiculous. How could this have happened?

He even lost his appetite, stood up, lunged at Xu Qiaoqiao, buried his face in her chest, and mumbled something.

How could Xu Qiaoqiao refuse such an offer of affection? The moment Jun Qi rushed in, she immediately embraced him.

Pat your head, don't be unhappy.

"No, I have to go find him."

Jun Qi realized that the black bear was the same one that had taken Xu Qiaoqiao away, and that he had actually mistaken it for someone else. This blunder had really made him lose face.

It's not too late to beat them up again now; actually, I didn't even use my full strength last time.

"Hey, hey, get down here!"

When Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi trying to climb out of her arms and run outside, she hurriedly grabbed him, but how could her strength compare to Jun Qi's?

Xu Qiaoqiao was dragged along by Jun Qi for several steps.

In her panic, Xu Qiaoqiao accidentally pinched Jun Qi's tail.

"roar!"

Jun Qi immediately lost his temper, jumped up from the ground, and leaped three feet high, crashing straight into the top.

With a bang.

He fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Qiaoqiao was choked by the sudden cloud of dust. She coughed several times. When Jun Qi jumped up, she had already let go of his tail, but she really wanted to experience that fluffy touch again.

Jun Qi rubbed his head, which had just been hit, and looked at Xu Qiaoqiao with tears in his eyes, his expression full of accusation.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Don't pull my tail!

Jun Qi glared fiercely at Xu Qiaoqiao, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any fierceness in her current appearance. On the contrary, he looked rather pitiful.

Xu Qiaoqiao immediately raised her hands in front of her chest to indicate her innocence.

"Alright, alright, let's eat that meat first, there's no rush."

Xu Qiaoqiao smiled, went forward and dragged Jun Qi back, then pressed him in front of the meat he hadn't finished eating, looking at him with a smile as if it were a very insignificant thing.

"Let's go after we finish eating."

Actually, Xu Qiaoqiao really wanted to go see that black bear again. The reason was simply that the bear was too silly, and she had been quite bored lately. In addition, the alluring aura she once possessed had disappeared.

So it's very safe.

Moreover, the number of places where she could be hurt could be counted on one hand.

After hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi obediently started eating.

In his mind, he would protect Xu Qiaoqiao, so there was nothing wrong with going with her. Moreover, ever since he figured things out, he really enjoyed being with Xu Qiaoqiao.

This decision is certainly a good one.
