After the little fox woke up, Jun Qi took the drone and began to leave the place.

Polar bears migrate by moving sea ice. The thick sea ice gradually separates under the sun's rays and eventually melts into the seawater.

Xu Qiaoqiao followed behind Jun Qi, and on the way forward against the wind, she and Jun Qi had a hearty meal. It was a lively seal, and the meat on its body was delicious. Even though Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't eat anymore, she forced herself to eat a few more bites.

Polar bears don't store food, but Arctic foxes do. However, they lack the necessary tools and their hiding places on the ice are hard to find.

If the two of them can't finish it, the seal meat will just stay there, either slowly rotting and quietly sinking to the bottom of the sea when the sea ice melts, or a lucky person will get a free feast.

The selfish Xu Qiaoqiao didn't want these animals to be eaten by the later ones, after all, nature is cruel.

Xu Qiaoqiao had a serious expression on her face.

The seal ate until it was stuffed, but there was still a tiny bit of meat left on its body.

"Ugh."

Jun Qi had already eaten his fill. He licked the blood from Chu Nian clean, and then went to the sea to suck his claws clean.

He would never have cared about such things before, but ever since he discovered that the little fox had been avoiding him and seemed disgusted when he touched her with his dirty hands, she had been avoiding him.

Until this happened many times.

Jun Qi then realized that the little fox was disgusted by his dirty paws. After eating, his paws were covered in animal grease. Jun Qi himself didn't care, but the little fox did.

And so this habit gradually developed.

After finishing eating, I started washing my hands.

The little fox ate very slowly, and Jun Qi wasn't in a hurry. After washing his paws, he sat quietly beside the fox, watching it eat with a hint of doting in his eyes.

When the little fox finally looked like it couldn't eat anymore, Jun Qi reached out his paw and rubbed the little fox's belly. As expected, it was quite bulging.

Xu Qiaoqiao stayed obediently here while Junjun touched her belly.

She grunted a few times; her stomach was indeed quite full. During the migration, with such a lot of physical activity, it was easy to get hungry, so she needed to eat her fill.

After they finished eating, the two of them rested for a while. The little fox had eaten too much and was quite full, so even when they were walking, it was still wrapped around Jun Qi's neck.

At this moment, she completely forgot her previous grand ambitions. She knew she was definitely not going to lose weight, and probably never would.

After all, she hadn't succeeded in the previous few worlds.

Arctic foxes take about ten months to grow from birth to sexual maturity. This process reminded Xu Qiaoqiao of the world of the little hedgehog, where animals born this year are already adults next year.

Xu Qiaoqiao was born in mid-May last year. Now, if we calculate the time, it will be March, and she will be almost ten months old.

Xu Qiaoqiao learned all of these things while working on pandas. Later, when she had nothing else to do, she started learning about all sorts of animals in preparation for any eventuality.

Ten months! I can't believe how quickly these wonderful times have passed.

Xu Qiaoqiao was deeply worried about this matter.

If she hadn't met Junjun, she would have stayed with Lily's mother and the others, and Lily's mother and the others would have started their migration when the cold winter arrived.

If that's the case, judging by the timeline, she probably won't even be an adult by the time the migration is complete.

They walked along the direction the sea ice was moving, without knowing how much time had passed. The sea ice they were carrying was very large and might last for a long time.

Jun Qi had no idea that the little fox was worried. Since the day they went out, the two of them had never returned. The meaning behind this action was quite obvious.

They would have to travel about 500 miles. Perhaps they would be lucky and the sea ice wouldn't melt too quickly, or perhaps they would have to swim across the ocean alone, find their own way, and migrate to the southern land.

We cannot stop until we encounter a small island.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought about it for a moment. Given their current situation, if they waited until her heat cycle ended, the sea ice on the surface of the ocean would have almost melted by then. Not to mention migration, they wouldn't even be able to leave the Greenland area.

The migration was a long and arduous journey.

Perhaps because Xu Qiaoqiao's worried expression had been too obvious these past few days, Jun Qi finally noticed something was wrong. So, during a break, he relented, put down the drone, and went over to nuzzle the little fox's face.

"Eek?" Little fox, what's wrong?

Why are you unhappy?

Based on Jun Qi's limited understanding, the only answer he could come up with was that the little fox might miss the place they used to live, but as the temperature rose, the snow there began to melt.

Moreover, the Arctic experiences the midnight sun, meaning the sun never sets. If I went back now, I might not even be able to find that little nest anymore.

"Oh dear." Are you missing your little home?

Don't worry, if you really start to miss it, I'll make you a little stone nest next time. That way it won't break, okay?

Jun Qi continued talking about these things to himself. He lay down and hugged the little fox, their noses touching. Their eyes were now very close, and Jun Qi could clearly see the deep sorrow in the little fox's eyes.
