Finally, Jun Qi stopped in front of a large tree.

He walked around the tree several times. Xu Qiaoqiao knew that he was within the designated area, even if he was just taking a short rest there.

After circling around, Jun Qi was satisfied and led Xu Qiaoqiao back to the big tree. He gently put Xu Qiaoqiao down, and as if afraid that Xu Qiaoqiao's paws would get cold from touching the blood, Jun Qi specially laid a mat on the snow.

That way you won't get frostbite.

Xu Qiaoqiao squatted on the mat, her two front paws holding a carrot. Her teeth had recently grown to the right length, so she was eating perfectly. Yes, perfectly. The condition of one's teeth really affects their ability to eat.

This is the conclusion Xu Qiaoqiao has drawn from her personal experience over the past few days.

Jun Qi said to Xu Qiaoqiao, "Little rabbit, I'm going out for a while. You stay here and don't move around."

Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth was bulging, and she squinted her eyes with pleasure, giving Jun Qi a heavy nod.

Okay, go ahead, and be careful.

At this time, the spiritual connection between Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi was still intact, so Jun Qi knew everything Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking.

This was the first time she had talked with Xu Qiaoqiao for so long, and the first time she had ever known that Xu Qiaoqiao had so many thoughts running through her mind.

Jun Qi gently nudged Xu Qiaoqiao before turning around to find something to eat.

Soon, Xu Qiaoqiao saw him return with a bloody deer in his mouth, and blood was dripping down the road. Xu Qiaoqiao could smell the blood from afar.

I'm back.

When Jun Qi saw that Xu Qiaoqiao was indeed staying there obediently without moving, a part of his heart softened and swelled up.

Wow, that was fast! It hasn't even been five minutes.

Actually, a minute after Jun Qi left, she started to get bored, so she began to count. When she had only counted to around two hundred, she could smell Jun Qi's scent and the smell of blood.

Xu Qiaoqiao had almost finished eating the carrot, and just then, Jun Qi began to eat.

When Jun Qi ate that striped tiger before, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't observe it carefully because she wasn't in a good state at that time.

But now, she was watching Jun Qi intently as he ate.

This is an adult elk. Judging from its antlers, it must have lived for many years. Moreover, the flesh on its body has a strange aura that Xu Qiaoqiao can't quite put her finger on, but it's definitely not an ordinary elk.

Wolves are the natural enemies of these animals, and with Jun Qi's high cultivation level, hunting these animals is naturally a piece of cake.

He first used his teeth to tear open the outer skin, revealing fresh flesh. He then released his mouth, licked the blood from his lips, and used one paw to press down on the deer carcass and began to tear at it.

Because of the incident with the striped tiger, Jun Qi already knew that Xu Qiaoqiao was not suitable to eat these things, so he wouldn't force her like he had before.

However, he had already planned that once the little rabbit ate the transformation herb and turned into a human, she could eat the meat.

These operations were incredibly easy for Jun Qi, and every move he made exuded elegance. He truly lived up to his reputation as the young master of the wolf clan, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Jun Qi knew that Xu Qiaoqiao had been watching him, but he didn't care. Let the little rabbit look if she wanted to.

Although this deer was already an adult, to be honest, it still benefited greatly from Jun Qi's presence.

Jun Qi ate very quickly and cleanly. After he finished eating, he walked over to Xu Qiaoqiao, licked the crumbs off his paws, and then rubbed Bai Xue.

Xu Qiaoqiao was wearing two layers of clothing, including her ears. She sat there looking incredibly cute.

After eating his fill, Jun Qi felt warm all over.

The little rabbit is right. Although you don't feel hungry, it's always different when you're full.

Jun Qi lazily waved to Xu Qiaoqiao, who understood and immediately jumped over to snuggle up to him. She licked his chin, thinking how warm it should be in winter.

In fact, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know what season it was. The difference between the north and south of the cultivation world was really too great. When she was in the south, she could guess that it was probably summer there by looking at the leaves of the trees and the climate.

But as they followed Jun Qi further and further away, after being attacked by that inexplicable giant black snake, the climate there suddenly felt like autumn, and the place where they bought clothes felt like late autumn.

And here, it's clearly deep winter.

Xu Qiaoqiao leaned against Jun Qi, thinking drowsily. She felt sleepy and her mind wasn't very clear.

I want to sleep.

Xu Qiaoqiao's consciousness was transmitted to Jun Qi's mind. Looking at Xu Qiaoqiao's fluffy appearance, Jun Qi smiled and stroked her fur to make her more comfortable.

Although the heavy snow has stopped, the cold wind has never ceased.

But these effects are negligible to the indigenous people.

The bird's chirping was quite noticeable, but it wasn't noisy. The bird didn't look like a sparrow either; it was pale yellow all over, with a brown beak and dark black eyes, and it looked very clever.

Is this spring, unique to the northern region?

As Xu Qiaoqiao drifted off to sleep to the sound of birdsong, she thought to herself, "This spring is so cold."

Jun Qi did not fall asleep; he was merely taking a short nap. Eating the deer did not significantly increase his spiritual power; it only slightly warmed his body.

But this was very comfortable for Jun Qi.

But he won't admit it.

However, if the little rabbit wakes up and asks him later, he might consider saying that. Jun Qi thought with a touch of pride, after all, there's nothing wrong with telling her, isn't there?

Moreover, seeing that I'm eating happily and comfortably makes the little rabbit feel even better.

Jun Qi thought to himself that he liked watching the little rabbit be happy for him, hopping around, the white ball of fur always leaning against him, rubbing against him, sticking close to him. Jun Qi swore that he had never thought rabbits were cute before.

But now, he lowered his head, leaned over and touched Xu Qiaoqiao, looking very affectionate.

In the frigid winter, the biting wind was still blowing, but as the sky darkened, the moon and stars began to peek out.

Xu Qiaoqiao, having had a good sleep, slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously looked up. A sky full of stars instantly came into view; several stars dotted the dark sky. The snowy night was so quiet and peaceful, with only the snowflakes falling silently from the branches evoking thoughts of nature.
