The next morning, An Moxue got up early, practiced her boxing in the courtyard, went back inside, took a shower and ate breakfast in her spatial dimension, and then went into the mountains.

An Moxue entered the forest and quickly ran towards the wolf pack.

Along the way, none of the animals encountered could escape An Moxue's clutches; they all died and entered her spatial dimension.

Around noon, An Moxue arrived at the wolf pack's location. She climbed a large tree, whistled, and took out her binoculars to observe her surroundings.

Every few minutes, she would whistle a few times, the whistles infused with internal energy carrying far. After a few whistles, the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance. An Moxue responded by whistling a few more times, and then sat on a large tree branch, waiting for the wind and lightning to arrive.

A moment later, two wolves leaped from a distance. An Moxue jumped down from the tree and ran towards the two wolves while shouting, "Swift Wind! Lightning!"

When the two wolves met, An Moxue was pounced on and almost fell backward. She laughed and said, "Swift Wind, Lightning, I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

The two wolves howled twice.

An Moxue stroked their smooth, soft fur, her smile exceptionally bright: "You've all grown into majestic wolves. You'd better be careful next time, or I might get pounced on. My Gale and Lightning are really powerful; they've grown into qualified wolf kings." She could see the wolf pack not far away, and their numbers were significantly greater than the last time she saw them.

"Want to come home with me for a couple of days?" The two wolves, just like before, howled around her.

An Moxue looked at the gust of wind and lightning that passed her waist, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction. They had grown into two qualified wolf kings while she was out of sight.

"Then it's settled! But I'd like to hunt some more before going back. I've been thinking about coming to see you all this way, and I've only hunted some rabbits and pheasants. I haven't encountered any large animals yet. I'm thinking of hunting a couple of deer and a roe deer to take back, or at the very least, a wild boar."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones let out two howls and ran out.

An Moxue watched and followed. When they arrived at a large, sheltered mountain hollow, An Moxue saw a herd of deer leisurely foraging in the forest, with a few roe deer nearby.

Before An Moxue could make a move, two wolves rushed forward. One bit off a deer's leg, while the other went straight for its throat, killing it instantly.

An Moxue watched as the deer scattered, seemingly oblivious to the silly roe deer beside her. She ran a few steps quickly, her machete flying out and striking the roe deer in the neck. The roe deer fell to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Gale and Lightning had dragged the two deer to An Moxue. She took out a large basin from her spatial storage, drained the blood from the two deer, and then put the deer and roe deer back into her spatial storage. She then took out a snow sled and said, "Gale, Lightning, take me home!"

The two wolves stood obediently, letting An Moxue put snares on them. At her command, An Moxue sat on the sled, and the two wolves pulled her home.

An Moxue hadn't felt so carefree and relaxed in a long time, and she was in an incredibly good mood, having a great time all by herself the whole way.

"Wind and Lightning, you're getting faster and faster! Amazing! Come on, let's go home and I'll make you some meat. Oh! If only we could find a pig, then I could make you some braised pork."

Perhaps the mountain god heard her thoughts, for not long after, a family of wild boars, large and small, wandered into An Moxue's sight. She gave an order: "Gale, lightning, stop, catch the boars."

The two wolves stopped, and An Moxue removed the stags from their bodies. Then she took the lead and charged towards the largest boar.

A machete struck the boar's neck, and the boar collapsed to the ground, its blood staining the surrounding snow. The other boars squealed and charged madly at An Moxue.

An Moxue struck again with her wood-chopping knife, and another sow fell to the ground, while the remaining piglets scattered and fled.

An Moxue darted to the nearest pig and struck again. As the blade fell, a pig's squeal rang out from the side. All three piglets died at the same time. An Moxue shouted to the two wolves, "Swift Wind, Lightning, well done!"

An Moxue waved her hand, storing all the wild boars into her spatial storage. She then got back on the sled and happily headed home.

With strong winds and lightning pulling the sled, the return trip was much faster than the ascent. When An Moxue arrived home, it was just dinnertime. She took out two pigs, a roe deer, a deer, a few rabbits, and pheasants, and went to Old Ma's house.

Before even entering the door, she started calling out, "Auntie, I'm back! Did you bring me any food? I'm starving!"

Aunt Ma opened the door, looked her up and down, and then asked with a smile, "You brought it? You're back so quickly?"

An Moxue saw the dumplings cooking in the pot and said, "We'll come back once we find Gale and Lightning. I can smell the aroma."

Aunt Ma laughed and scolded, "You have a dog's nose! Wash your hands and get ready to eat! I was thinking of cooking it and bringing it to your house so you could eat whenever you got back. Now, you can eat it fresh. Did they come back with you?"

"They're back home. But don't worry, I've locked the front door, they can't get out."

An Moxue washed her hands and went inside. The dining table was already set, and all that was left was to serve the dumplings before they could eat.

Old Ma looked at her and said, "Quick, take off your shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed) to warm up. How about going up the mountain?"

"Uncle Ma, the snow in the mountains is heavier than in the village, and there seem to be more animals in the mountains than a couple of years ago. I just casually caught a few rabbits and pheasants." After a pause, he asked Old Ma with great enthusiasm, "Guess what else I caught?"

Old Ma asked cooperatively, "What did you hit?"

An Moxue changed the subject playfully, "Guess?"

Old Ma could tell from that expression that they'd hit something big, and he asked politely, "How many big ones did you take down?"

"If it weren't for you, Ma, who knows me so well! There are wild boars, roe deer, and deer. After we finish eating, come to my house and help me clean up. I'll go deliver a pig to the brigade first."

"How many did you get? You've given one to the entire brigade."

"Hey, we should let the villagers have a sip of soup when we eat meat! If everyone eats, no one will complain. If every house smells of pork, then we won't stand out!"

Old Ma said with satisfaction, "Not bad, you've made progress. You know when to advance and when to retreat, and you're good at planning. The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind; blending in with the crowd is the best policy."

An Moxue chuckled.

Just then, Aunt Ma brought dumplings into the house. An Moxue took the dumplings, put them on the table, and said to Aunt Ma, "Auntie, after dinner, come to my house with Uncle Ma and we'll clean up the wild animals."

"Okay. How much stuff did you get? Do I need to go with your uncle?"

Old Ma looked at her and said, "Since we've already used both of us, we can't skimp on it. Eat quickly, and we'll go after you finish."
