"woke up?"

Jun Qi’s voice rang out above Xu Qiaoqiao’s head, deep and soothing. Xu Qiaoqiao had wondered more than once why this wolf’s voice was so pleasant to hear.

Upon waking up, Xu Qiaoqiao was clearly a bit grumpy.

She lay sprawled on the blanket like a piece of water, her eyes still dazzled by the glittering stars, but now her thoughts were gradually returning to normal.

A warm, large throw pillow is the best thing in this freezing weather, bar none.

Jun Qi's warm breath sprayed onto Xu Qiaoqiao's face, making her feel a little itchy. She raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks a few times, feeling them burning. Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself, "Could it be that after turning into a rabbit, rabbits can still blush?"

She touched her nose uncomfortably, feeling that something was wrong with her.

Suddenly, she felt incredibly happy and rubbed her face against Jun Qi's cheek with such force that it deformed his face.

It's dark now, but Xu Qiaoqiao has just had a good sleep and is clearly very excited, not sleepy at all. If Jun Qi hadn't been holding her down, this little rabbit would probably have jumped three feet high.

Jun Qi narrowed his eyes. Since there was nothing else to do, let's get going.

So he packed up the blanket and started walking toward the steepest mountain.

This time, he didn't carry Xu Qiaoqiao on his back, but let her walk on her own and follow him slowly.

Since we're so excited, let's burn some calories!

This is Jun Qi's idea.

So this time, he didn't carry Xu Qiaoqiao on his back like before. Instead, he deliberately walked slowly, just to wait for Xu Qiaoqiao and match her pace.

The two, one big and one small, left a trail of footprints in the snow, which were quickly covered by the snow blown by the wind.

The snow was white and light, like down. Some of the snow that hadn't yet landed was blown away by the wind and carried into the distance before slowly settling down.

Xu Qiaoqiao followed Jun Qi, hopping along, her rabbit ears swaying with her movements.

Xu Qiaoqiao had previously wondered, wouldn't animals like rabbits, which hop around all the time, get tired?

After Xu Qiaoqiao actually became a rabbit, she realized that it was the same principle as humans walking, because they could only hop and couldn't take long strides like humans.

So, I was just overthinking it.

Xu Qiaoqiao was jumping around, her mind was constantly racing, because she was still very excited and felt full of energy.

This isn't right, this is definitely not right.

Could it be because you just took a nap?

As they ventured deeper into the area, Xu Qiaoqiao expected it to become even more desolate, but instead, she encountered even more things, and could vaguely see some greenery.

Later, when Jun Qi told Xu Qiaoqiao, she realized that they had already gone up the mountain and were walking on a huge mountain range.

Xu Qiaoqiao was simply too dazzled by the world of white to notice.

They stood at the highest point, looking down at everything below.

I don't know how long we walked, but as the sky in the distance began to lighten, the sun shone brightly on the earth.

Everything began to awaken, and this place began to come alive.

Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly; she seemed to have seen something else.

She subconsciously looked towards Jun Qi, who remained calm and unchanged, continuing to walk forward as always without stopping.

Hey, Junqi, there seems to be someone ahead... no, there's something there.

Xu Qiaoqiao silently thought to herself that Jun Qi could hear what she said before, but now she wasn't sure if he could still hear her thoughts.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared ahead. As they drew closer, Xu Qiaoqiao could make out their outlines.

These are two animals that look like deer, one big and one small. It should be a mother deer with her calf out to forage for food. But are they out so early?

The larger doe had somewhat dirty fur and looked particularly tired. After Xu Qiaoqiao recognized it, she habitually began to examine it.

The smaller deer, probably protected by its mother, had exceptionally clean fur. At this moment, the fawn was soaking wet, and its eyes looked panicked, making it particularly pitiful.

It frolicked beside its mother, looking carefree.

However, animals have an instinct to be wary of predators, an instinct that accompanies them from birth.

It's etched into my very bones.

Just like when Xu Qiaoqiao sensed the aura of those black snakes, it happened without any warning.

The doe had already detected Jun Qi's presence, which immediately put her on high alert.

She shielded her child behind her and slowly backed away.

Then she saw Xu Qiaoqiao next to Jun Qi, an ordinary rabbit with nothing special about it. At least she could cultivate, and so could her child.

This means that they can eat meat.

The restrictions aren't that strict.

When Jun Qi saw their eyes fixed on Xu Qiaoqiao, he felt very annoyed. He bared his teeth at the mother and baby deer, revealing a fierce aura, intending to drive them away.

Hey, Jun Qi, what you're doing...

The moment Jun Qi released his aura, the opponent had already taken off running, clearly panicked. Good heavens, their speed was incredible; they vanished in an instant.

Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered something else: animals like deer are easily startled, and they can run quite fast.

What are you doing, scaring people like that?

Seeing that the deer had been scared away by Jun Qi, Xu Qiaoqiao jumped over and patted his head, saying, "Why are you so fierce?"

Jun Qi didn't know what Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking, but he knew she was doing quite well, her eyes were very bright.

He lowered his head and kissed Xu Qiaoqiao a few times. He wanted to suggest that they stop and rest for a while, but seeing that Xu Qiaoqiao was still so energetic, he gave up the idea.

If Xu Qiaoqiao knew, she would probably give him a good scolding. If he wanted to be good to her, he should have just said so. Why beat around the bush?

So after chasing away the mother and baby deer, Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao continued their journey from there.

Xu Qiaoqiao put on another layer of clothing. Now she was wearing three layers, and from a distance, she looked like a white, fleshy ball of flesh walking around.

They're chubby, and you just want to hold them in your arms and give them a good rub.

However, Jun Qi, who was the only one with a chance at the moment, did not notice this. He walked slowly ahead at a leisurely pace, looking quite content, while Xu Qiaoqiao was jumping around quite a bit.

I still have the energy, but I don't want to move.

Xu Qiaoqiao is feeling lazy and seems a bit unmotivated.

How much longer until we get there? This road feels so long. She looked up and saw towering mountains stretching endlessly into the distance.
