This wild fruit is Lin Qiu’s favorite. Its name is very rough and simple, it is called sweet fruit.

The sweet fruit is pink in appearance with some brown spots all over it. The outer skin is very tough and tastes a bit like steamed buns. Inside is a pool of white juice that is very sweet, so it is called sweet fruit.

These sweet fruit trees are everywhere and have a high yield, but they rot easily and cannot be eaten completely. Most of the fruit will rot at the bottom of the tree.

Lin Qiu thought that sugar could be extracted from this fruit.

Maybe the peel can really be dried and ground to extract starch.

"Why aren't you eating? Don't you have an appetite?"

Lin Qiu's thoughts were interrupted, and Ling Yun helped her take the fruits out of the animal skin bag.

"No," Lin Qiu took the fruit from Ling Yun, "Song Mu has been sleeping like this. Is it okay if he doesn't eat?"

Hearing Lin Qiu's concern for Song Mu, Ling Yun felt a dull pain in his heart as if it was being gripped by a pair of hands.

He heard it all just now.

Lin Qiu was willing.

She mates with Sumire voluntarily.

Thinking of Lin Qiu's eagerness to urge him to come back on the road, Ling Yun clenched his fists tightly and finally controlled his emotions.

Why.

It was obviously he who liked Lin Qiu first.

Why...

Ling Yun forced a smile and said, "He'll wake up when he needs to eat. Don't worry about him. It's already dark. Go to bed early. Maybe he'll be awake by the time you wake up tomorrow morning."

Lin Qiu knew that Ling Yun must be very tired after traveling this long distance, so he quickly ate the fruit. After filling his stomach, he slept on the stone bed covered with animal skins next to Song Mu. He could see Song Mu below as soon as he opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Yun ate some roasted meat at the entrance of the cave, then lay down on the spot to take a nap, and stood guard at the door vigilantly.

Lin Qiu stretched one hand under the bed and placed it on Song Mu, so that he would wake up if he moved.

But she was sleeping so soundly that Song Mu didn't wake her up when she woke up.

Song Mu had recovered his strength. Although he was obviously hungry, he was full of energy.

He squatted at the head of Lin Qiu's bed and realized that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

"Don't disturb her." Ling Yun's voice came from the cave entrance.

Song Mu tiptoed out of the cave and looked at Ling Yun: "How did she get injured?"

Ling Yun didn't say anything and brought him half of the prey left over from last night.

Song Mu didn't hesitate to eat the meat. After filling his stomach, he felt all his strength returned. Song Mu turned into a human form. He used to be of the same build as Ling Yun, but now he was skinny. They used to look almost identical, but now they were very easy to tell apart.

He tore off a piece of animal skin and tied it around his waist.

"How did she get hurt?"

Song Mu asked again.

Ling Yun then told Song Mu about his experience, and Song Mu's face grew darker as he listened.

"Why don't you kill them all?"

The corners of Song Mu's eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to rush to the hilltop where the beast tribe was and massacre them.

"Xiao Qiu doesn't like it," Ling Yun said after seeing Song Mu's emotions stabilize. "She urged me to come back quickly because she was worried something might happen to you."

"For me?" Song Mu looked at Ling Yun, as if trying to verify whether what he heard last night was true.

"Yes, for you. She would rather come back without sleep." Ling Yun clenched his fists as he said this. "Why didn't you tell me that she mates with you willingly? Now you are her male! What about me? Who am I?"

Song Mu looked at the excited Ling Yun and said calmly: "No, she lied. I forced her to do that. I didn't lie to you."

Ling Yun frowned: "Why would she lie?"

"I have no idea."

Sumire said this, but a smile appeared on her lips.

No matter why, she came back for him, didn't she?

She couldn't bear to leave him.

Song Mu's personality was originally dull and he didn't like to talk. Now he looked frail and weak, half dead and unable to even hit a fart with a punch, yet he dared to laugh there.

After seeing this, Ling Yun only regretted that he didn't turn around and kick him to death when he was born.

Ling Yun tilted his neck and said, "Oh, Lin Qiu sat on me all the way back. She was very close to me and even slept in my arms at night."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Song Mu's lips froze.

Ling Yun finally felt a little better. "Now that you're awake, stay here and look after Xiao Qiu. I'm going out hunting. Useless creature, just stay home and wait for others to feed you."

Song Mu watched Ling Yun leave and rolled his eyes at him.

When Lin Qiu woke up, she saw Ling Yun sitting next to her.

No, it’s Song Mu.

Lin Qiu's hazy eyes suddenly focused, and he sat up suddenly: "Song Mu, are you awake?"

She held onto Song Mu's wrist tightly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable now? Have you eaten anything? Where's Ling Yun?"

Song Mu let Lin Qiu hold onto her. "I still feel a little uncomfortable, but I just ate something... Ling Yun said I was useless, Xiao Qiu. I can't hunt now, so I'm really useless. Even if he doesn't give me food, it's understandable."

Ling Yun was running fast in the forest when his nose suddenly felt itchy, he sneezed, and almost bumped into a tree.

Lin Qiu felt very distressed after hearing what Song Mu said: "Don't think so. When you recover, you can return it to him. It's my fault for making you become like this. I shouldn't have left."

Lin Qiu had no idea that Song Mu was just playing the victim and he blamed himself deeply.

When talking about what happened before leaving, Song Mu withdrew his arm, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the animal pattern on Lin Qiu's ankle.

Animal markings appear on the female's body after mating.
