When Xu Qiaoqiao woke up, it was already daylight outside.

Jun Qi isn't around either. Did he go out to find something to eat?

Otherwise, Xu Qiaoqiao wouldn't have been able to think of any other possibilities.

Xu Qiaoqiao sat up and touched her slightly deflated belly.

I'm hungry.

Let's go out and find some grass to eat.

Xu Qiaoqiao slowly jumped up and crawled out along the small path.

The cave entrance was hidden by some weeds. When Xu Qiaoqiao saw a sliver of light outside, she subconsciously squinted her eyes, as the light was far too dazzling.

And this grass, as Xu Qiaoqiao parted the grass to get out, she thought to herself, she remembered that when she was digging the hole, the grass wasn't this tall. How come it grew so fast in just one day?

Just as Xu Qiaoqiao's head emerged from the hole, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her, and at the same time, a deep voice rang out: "Qiaoqiao."

Ah, Jun Qi.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Qiaoqiao knew who it was. She looked up and, sure enough, it was him.

Under the sunlight, Jun Qi's agile figure appeared even more dashing, his eyes resolute, and his gray fur seemed to turn golden in the sunlight, radiating vitality. This was the proud young wolf clan leader in Xu Qiaoqiao's mind.

"Hehe~"

Xu Qiaoqiao let out a soft, joyful cry. Her voice was so low that if Jun Qi hadn't had such good hearing, he might not have even noticed that the little rabbit had made a sound.

Rabbits rarely make sounds, or at all. If you asked Xu Qiaoqiao what the onomatopoeia for a rabbit's call is, she would probably be stumped for a long time. As a rabbit herself, she rarely hears the sounds she makes.

Besides the grinding of teeth, there were some unidentified sounds coming from the throat.

Xu Qiaoqiao was so happy not only because she knew Jun Qi was alright, but also because she saw Jun Qi take something out of thin air for her—a carrot!

Jun Qi saw Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes widen instantly and thought to himself with a smirk: "So promising!"

"For you."

Just that one sentence moved Xu Qiaoqiao to tears.

What to do? To be so attached to someone—no, even if it's not a person, but a wolf—is such a strange feeling. It feels like my heart is swelling up with some inexplicable emotion.

Xu Qiaoqiao quickly stepped forward and said, "Jun Qi, let's get close."

She was clinging to Jun Qi's leg like a rabbit. Because of the height difference, she wanted to hug Jun Qi's head, but she was too weak to do so, so she could only hug his leg.

Xu Qiaoqiao gently patted the wolf fur on it.

Rubbing against each other, those soft rabbit ears would occasionally brush against Jun Qi's leg with Xu Qiaoqiao's movements.

Jun Qi raised an eyebrow. He had just gone out for a stroll and happened to find this thing. It seemed that Xu Qiaoqiao really wanted to eat this thing called carrot. Jun Qi even tried it first. It had no taste and was terribly unpalatable.

However, since Xu Qiaoqiao wanted to eat it, he would bring it to her. With this in mind, Jun Qi picked all the carrots over there. As for whether the carrots were owned, he didn't care. After all, in the middle of nowhere, what difference would it make if they were owned?

"Alright, you've slept for so long, you must be starving. Hurry up and eat, I have plenty here."

Jun Qi was a little uncomfortable with Xu Qiaoqiao's closeness at this time. They had licked each other and rubbed against each other before, but it was all to express comfort. For example, when Xu Qiaoqiao first licked Jun Qi, she was thinking that in the animal kingdom, licking each other was a way of comforting each other.

But it's rare to see Xu Qiaoqiao being so clingy right now.

Jun Qi's wolfish face flushed slightly. He twitched his ears, then uncomfortably pulled Xu Qiaoqiao off his lap and gently placed her on the ground. He shoved the carrot into her arms and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Didn't you say you love this the most?"

Xu Qiaoqiao chuckled, but when she tried to speak, she realized she couldn't say anything, so she nodded heavily to Jun Qi.

Thank you, Junqi.

Jun Qi wasn't sure if he understood what Xu Qiaoqiao meant, but he knew she was very happy.

If I knew, I would definitely say: "What are you thanking me for? If anyone should thank someone, it's me who should thank you first. You were the one who opened your arms to save me first. You started it all."

Jun Qi led Xu Qiaoqiao back to the cave. He had already checked the area, and whether it was a coincidence or luck, it happened to be on the only way to the north.

But why would a cliff suddenly appear in that forest, and how is this cliff connected to this place?

Could it be that there's some kind of special opportunity?

Jun Qi thought to himself, after all, in the world of cultivation, anything you can't explain can be attributed to an opportunity.

Xu Qiaoqiao was completely unaware of Jun Qi's thoughts, as she was enjoying her meal.

Xu Qiaoqiao hugged the carrot and happily ate it. Sure enough, carrots are the most delicious food for rabbits!

Weeds and such are just things you can eat casually!

The moment Xu Qiaoqiao's taste buds touched the carrot, the wonderful feeling was indescribable. It was like a pedestrian walking alone for a long time on a cold winter day, and suddenly finding a house with a heater in front of him. How warm it was!

However, there was one thing that bothered Xu Qiaoqiao: her teeth.

Since Xu Qiaoqiao came into this world, she hadn't chewed her teeth for a long time, so her teeth were always a little uncomfortable. While she was gnawing on a carrot, she thought that she should chew her teeth after she finished eating, and also clean them.

She hadn't ground her teeth yet. After finishing her meal, Xu Qiaoqiao asked Jun Qi for a bundle of dry grass. Looking at the shriveled grass, Xu Qiaoqiao was clearly troubled. How does one grind their teeth?

Um?

Why do I feel like someone is watching me?

Xu Qiaoqiao quickly turned her head and saw Jun Qi lying there quietly, with some air currents surging around him, presumably he was cultivating.

It seems I was being too sensitive.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked down at the hay, but what she didn't know was that as soon as her gaze shifted, Jun Qi immediately opened his eyes and secretly turned his eyes to look at Xu Qiaoqiao.

What did the little rabbit mean by secretly glancing at him?

Jun Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be fear?

But what's there to be afraid of when you grind your teeth? Jun Qi looked completely puzzled.

Forget it, this little rabbit's ideas are all so strange, he definitely can't guess them.

Xu Qiaoqiao rubbed the hay against her slightly long teeth a few times. The dried hay was very tough, and when Xu Qiaoqiao sawed it back and forth like this, it made a rustling sound, like the sound of sawing wood.
