Chapter 24 The Wolf Clan bids farewell to Su Yuyao

"White Ear?" Su Yuyao quickly put the little rabbit on the ground.

The little rabbit suddenly transformed into a frail little girl.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This humble servant truly missed Miss Yao'er, so I secretly followed you here..." Bai'er cried, clinging to Qingyue's leg, "I never expected to be captured..."

"Bai Er?" Su Yuyao pulled Bai Er up and looked at it carefully. "It really is you! That's great! You came to see me!"

Bai Er covered her nose, staring at the crazy girl covered in blood for a long time before she came to her senses. "You are... Miss Yao'er?"

"Hahahaha! It's me! But my name is Sa Ningbao now!" Su Yuyao exclaimed excitedly.

"Huh?!" Bai Er looked at Qing Yue in disbelief. "Your Majesty... what is this...?"

Qingyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Miss Yao'er...you...how..."

"Great! Great!" Su Yuyao jumped up and down. "Your Majesty! Don't go yet! Let me and Bai'er play a little longer!"

Qingyue looked at Su Yuyao, whose body was covered in wolf teeth and animal bones, and forced herself to walk out of the cave. She sat on a rock by the fire and waved her hand weakly. Even if she wanted to leave now, Qingyue had no strength left.

"Grandma Treading Frost! Grandma Treading Frost! My friend is here! Let's have some barbecue!"

The campfire blazed brightly, and the aroma of roasted meat filled the air, but the atmosphere was unusually somber. Even the joyous news of Mrs. Sa's pregnancy couldn't outweigh the sorrow of Su Yuyao's impending departure.

Sahan embraced Mrs. Sa, whose eyes were red and swollen, and gently comforted her, "Let's think of another way..."

Qingyue sat on a rock, looking at the fire with regret. If she had left Su'e at home, Yao'er wouldn't have run away with Bai'er, she wouldn't have been assassinated, she wouldn't have ended up like this, and she wouldn't have suffered all of this...

Only Su Yuyao was still excitedly showing Bai Er her slingshot and crescent blade, which made Bai Er tremble with fear.

Su Yuyao shoved the slingshot into Bai Er's hands. "Here! I'll teach you! Once you know how to shoot, you won't be afraid anymore!"

Under Su Yuyao's command, Bai Er threw a pebble. Although it didn't go very far, he was still very excited.

"Isn't it fun! My dad made this slingshot for me! I'll have him make one for you later!" Su Yuyao put the slingshot away and then tugged at Ruixue's belt, calling out, "Ruixue! Let's ride it for a while!"

Bai Er was about the same age as Su Yuyao. She was delicate and frail, and her plain-colored padded jacket and long skirt made her look very petite. She raised her head nervously and looked at Rui Xue, who was tall and strong.

Ruixue had grown accustomed to the red and black faces and rough, unruly wolf women, and she also disliked Su Yuyao's domineering and unreasonable nature. Bai Er's appearance became Ruixue's white moonlight, making his wheat-colored face shine with golden light.

"Ruixue! What are you spacing out for! Lie down right now!" Su Yuyao shouted, pulling on Ruixue's belt.

"Ningbao, let go of my belt! Stop grabbing my belt!" Ruixue raised her hand and flicked Su Yuyao's forehead, saying impatiently.

"Ah! Dad! Ruixue is bullying me again!" Su Yuyao covered her forehead and went to complain again.

Only Ruixue and Baier were left standing there awkwardly.

"Uh... my name is Ruixue, and Grandma Tashuang who's grilling meat over there is my mother. I'm the alpha wolf of the wolf clan..." Ruixue introduced herself incoherently.

"Hehe!" Bai Er covered his mouth and laughed when he saw Rui Xue's nervous look. Then he slightly bent his knees and said softly, "Young Master Rui Xue, my name is Bai Er. I am Yu Chuanzi under Lady Qing Yue of Binglun Palace. Later, I was sent to take care of Miss Yao'er, but I lost Miss Yao'er..." As he spoke, Bai Er's eyes were about to redden again.

“Um… don’t…” Ruixue became even more nervous looking at Bai Er, whose eyes had turned red.

"Dad! Scold him! He made Bai Er cry!" Su Yuyao pulled Sa Hanyi over.

Sahan glanced at Bai Er, whose eyes were red, then at the red dot on Su Yuyao's forehead, and without asking any questions, kicked Ruixue hard in the butt. "You brat, if you dare to lay a hand on Ningbao again, I'll slap you! And why did you make Bai Er cry? Hurry up and comfort him, or I'll kick you again!"

Ruixue's face turned bright red from being kicked, while Bai'er laughed through her tears.

On the vast snowfield, a spirited snow wolf ran, with Su Yuyao, dressed in animal skins and adorned with animal bones, pulling the frail-looking Bai Er in pursuit.

"Ruixue! Slow down! We can't catch up!" Su Yuyao tugged at Bai'er and complained, "Why are you running so slowly?! I can't run at all with you holding me back!"

"I'm...I'm sorry...Miss Yao'er...I can't run anymore!" Bai Er said breathlessly.

"Ruixue! Bai'er can't run anymore! You carry her!"

Ruixue stopped and looked at Bai Er, who was being pulled back by Su Yuyao, and felt a pang of sympathy. She quickly ran over and lay down.

Su Yuyao took Bai Er's hand and stroked Rui Xue's head. "Bai Er, isn't it nice to touch? Rui Xue always steals my meat, so his fur grows especially well!"

"White Ear! Touch it! The fur on its back is especially thick!"

"Really? It's so thick!"

"White Ear! Touch it! Its tail is especially thick!"

"Really!..." Bai Er's face turned a little red.

"White Ear! Look!" Su Yuyao lifted Ruixue's tail and said, "This is his bell!"

"Ouch!" Ruixue felt a chill on her bottom, quickly got up, and stretched out her paw to slap Su Yuyao.

Su Yuyao was slapped and fell over. She got up angrily and started fighting with Ruixue.

Bai Er was terrified and didn't know what to do, so he ran back to the cave entrance and reported to Qing Yue and Sa Han.

When Bai Er brought Qing Yue and Sa Han back, they saw Su Yu Yao riding on Rui Xue's neck, swinging her arms and punching Rui Xue's head with her left and right fists, making Rui Xue scream in pain.

"Miss Yao, Miss Yao'er..." Bai Er had never seen such a scene before and was stunned.

Qingyue looked at the unruly Su Yuyao and shouted angrily, "Yao'er! Stop it right now!"

Su Yuyao turned to look at Qingyue and said defiantly, "It's none of your business!"

She got off Ruixue, ran to Sahanyi, and said, "Dad! Ruixue bullied me again!"

Sahan glanced at Ruixue, whose feathers had been ruffled, and smiled indulgently. She then said to Su Yuyao, "Ouch! Ningbao, does your hand hurt? Quickly take Bai'er to eat meat! Grandma Tashuang has already grilled the meat!"

"Great! Let's go eat meat!" Bai Er was dragged away by Su Yuyao again.

Sahan pointed at Ruixue and said with exasperation, "Why do you always provoke her?! Go eat your meat! Don't fight with Ningbao! Otherwise you'll get beaten again!"

Ruixue stood up, her tail drooping, and limped away.

Sa Han looked at Qing Yue, whose face had turned pale with anger, and said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ning Bao has been spoiled by me and is a little willful..."

“Chief Sa,” Qingyue said, catching her breath, “you call this a little tantrum?! No wonder Yao’er is so unruly now. I must take her away immediately, the sooner the better! If we don’t discipline her properly, she’ll become even more lawless!”

After saying that, she stormed to the cave entrance, looked at Bai'er who was about to eat the roasted meat, and shouted, "Bai'er! Who told you to eat meat?!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing Qingyue's rebuke, Bai'er quickly spat out the meat in his mouth, knelt on the ground, and said, "Bai'er wouldn't dare..."

"I made her eat it!" Su Yuyao stood up abruptly and said to Qingyue, "Why did you scare her?!"

"What did you say?" Veins began to bulge on Qing Yue's fair face. "Su Yuyao! Don't think I can't punish you! Once I bring you back, we'll settle all our old scores and new ones! Bai Er! Come back with me!"

“Yes…” Bai Er stood up, looking at Su Yuyao with reluctance, and followed Qing Yue away.

"What?!" Su Yuyao watched Qingyue and Bai Er's retreating figures before she realized what was happening. She threw herself on the ground and started a tantrum, "I don't want to go! I don't want to be taken away! Dad! Mom! You don't want me anymore!"

Madam Sa was heartbroken and wanted to hug Su Yuyao, but Sa Hanyi was worried that Su Yuyao might hurt Madam Sa's stomach, so he quickly stopped Madam Sa and went forward to comfort Su Yuyao himself.

“Ningbao, be good! Daddy and Mommy won’t let you go!…” No matter how Sa Han tried to coax Su Yuyao, she couldn’t calm her down. Sa Han gradually lost patience and whispered to Madam Sa through gritted teeth, “Madam, this is the consequence of you not letting me discipline her. Otherwise, would Ningbao be so willful?”

"Dad... what did you say? Speak louder!" Su Yuyao asked, her eyes wide.

Sahan immediately beamed, "Ningbao, stop crying? Get up and eat some meat..."

"I'm not leaving!" Su Yuyao stood up and sat down next to Ta Shuang, saying, "You all said you wouldn't abandon me, so I'm not leaving! Mother-in-law, I want a big one!"

Ta Shuang smiled and cut off a large piece of meat, stuffing it into Su Yuyao's mouth.

"Hehe, it smells so good!" Su Yuyao turned around and looked at Ruixue, who was still in a daze. "Ruixue, come and eat the meat! Otherwise, I'll eat it all!"

Su Yuyao wasn't worried about being taken away. She always believed that Sa Han and his wife loved her so much that they would definitely not let Qing Yue take her away.

Similarly, the Sahan couple adored Su Yuyao and were naturally reluctant to let her be taken away, but Qingyue's words made the couple very worried.

If the summons from the Goddess Yi arrives, Su Yuyao will definitely be taken into the Heavenly Palace. Perhaps the safest way is to have Qingyue and Xuanfeng take Su Yuyao away, but the couple is very reluctant to part with her.

So, after Qingyue and Bai'er left, Sahan and his wife did everything they could to pamper Su Yuyao, allowing her to be as willful as she pleased...

Early in the morning, Su Yuyao was still snuggling in Madam Sa's arms, acting coquettishly, "Mother, after you give birth to my little brother, can you still hold me while we sleep?"

"You're so old, why do you still let people cuddle you while you sleep?"

"Hehe, that's true..." Su Yuyao nestled against Madam Sa's chest, feeling the same scent as her mother!

Mother... Father... Green Ivy... I miss you so much!

Su Yuyao's heart began to ache again.

"Madam, is Ningbao awake?" Sahan asked softly.

"Father! Are we going hunting? I'm getting up right away!" Su Yuyao said, peeking out from Madam Sa's arms.

"Ah...yes...hunting..." Sahan stammered. "Madam...please help Ningbao get ready..."

Madam Sa suddenly sensed something was wrong. She turned to look at Sa Hanyi and saw that Sa Hanyi's eyes were red.

"My lady...who's here?" Madam Sa asked softly, embracing Su Yuyao.

“They’re all here…” Sahan sighed.

"They're all here?" Mrs. Sa asked in surprise.

"Who's here?" Su Yuyao asked with a grin.

Indeed, they had all arrived. Qingyue and Xuanfeng stood at the entrance of the cave, while Tashuang held a summons for the marriage festival issued by the Mother Goddess.

Even if Su Yuyao was naive, she could see the stakes involved.

With my temper, it's questionable whether I can even survive in the Heavenly Palace. If I were to implicate the Wolf Clan, things would be terrible! The safest and most reliable way is to leave Xuanhuang Valley and find someone who can protect me, and Xuanfeng seems to be a good and only option.

Should I really go with Xuanfeng? And in what capacity should I go with him?

Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao, who had a dejected expression, and said, "Girl, come back with me."

Madam Sa held Su Yuyao and wept uncontrollably, while Sa Hanyi also lost his usual dignified demeanor and kept wiping away tears.

Su Yuyao looked at the golden invitation, then at Sa Han and his wife who treated her like their own daughter, and then at the wolf clan members covering the hillside.

Despite her immense reluctance, she could only kneel and bid farewell to Sahan and Madam Sa, saying, "Father! Mother! Your daughter is leaving..."

She dared not look at anyone's face, and could only lower her head, letting her tears fall directly onto the snow.

Sa Han supported his wife, who was crying uncontrollably, and watched as Qing Yue took Su Yuyao's hand and followed Xuan Feng step by step out of the Xuanhuang Valley...

“Ningbao! Come back and visit if you miss home! We’ll come see you once your mother’s condition stabilizes…” Sahan cried out, her voice choked with emotion.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Su Yuyao turned to look at the Xuanhuang Valley, which was filled with her endless joy, her parents who gave her the most unrestrained love, the many wolf clansmen she had bullied and those she hadn't, Ruixue who disliked him, and Grandma Tashuang who gave her roasted meat.

She knelt down and kowtowed three times, crying so hard she couldn't utter a single word.

Qingyue helped the tearful Su Yuyao to her feet, and looking at the weeping Sa Han and his wife, she said helplessly, "Don't cry. It's not like you can't see each other. It's just that Xuanfeng is taking care of you. Once the marriage festival is over, you can still visit each other!"

Hearing Qingyue say this, Madam Sa finally calmed down.

“Lord Xuanfeng,” Sahan said, wiping away her tears, “I, Sahan, have never asked anyone for anything before, but today, I beg you, please take good care of Ningbao! I admit that we have spoiled Ningbao, but it’s not her fault! So, if she makes any mistakes, don’t blame her! You punish me! I will take the blame for her!”

Looking at the tough-looking but soft-hearted Sahan, Xuanfeng thought of the otherworldly Su Yuan, who seemed to have said something similar before...

Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao, whose face was covered in tears, nodded to Sahan, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her and discipline her properly."

Su Yuyao brought an atmosphere of joy that had never been seen in a thousand years to Xuanhuang Valley, but her departure also brought endless reluctance and sorrow to the entire wolf clan. Fortunately, Madam Sa was pregnant, which was some comfort to Sa Han and his wife...
