They stopped leaving, and the atmosphere immediately quieted down.
The little bear stopped a few meters away, not approaching any further, but obediently squatting on the ground, its bright black eyes fixed on them.
Then it lowered its head and began licking a leaf from its paw.
"Is there anything special about those leaves?"
Su Qingzhi tilted her head, squinted her eyes, and observed with curiosity in her tone.
"Otherwise, why would it keep licking it? This leaf looks ordinary; it doesn't seem to be glowing or hot."
Shen Zhiyu followed her gaze and frowned slightly.
"When we were drinking water just now, did we accidentally spill a few drops on the side? I remember you took the spiritual spring water from your space, so the taste should be very faint, but the aroma... might be different."
Su Qingzhi suddenly realized what was happening.
Could it be the smell of the spiritual spring water that attracted it?
This little guy has a keen sense of smell. He followed the scent all the way here and still won't leave.
The more she thought about it, the more sense it made, and her heart started racing.
"etc!"
She suddenly stood up, her eyes lit up, and tentatively waved to the little bear.
"Come here, little one, don't be afraid."
The little bear tilted its head and looked at her, its eyes bright and clear, with a hint of naivety.
Seeing that it didn't understand, Su Qingzhi took out a piece of bread from her spatial storage.
That was the dry food she had prepared earlier; the outer layer was slightly hard, but the inside was soft.
She slowly bent down and carefully handed it over, her arm outstretched straight.
The little bear took a few steps forward, its fluffy body swaying gently, and brought its nose close to sniff, carefully distinguishing the scents.
A moment later, realizing this wasn't what it wanted, it sat back down without hesitation, its tail curled to its side, and continued to gaze longingly at her.
Su Qingzhi became even more certain.
Shen Zhiyu was right; the problem was indeed with the spiritual spring water.
This little guy wasn't after the food at all; he was drawn by that unique aura of spiritual energy!
She immediately scooped out a small bowl of clear spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
The scent wafts out.
To be precise, as soon as the aura of spiritual energy spread, the little bear immediately reacted.
It suddenly raised its head, its nose twitched violently, and its eyes widened instantly.
The next second it crawled over and finally stopped 30 centimeters in front of the bowl, sitting upright with its front paws on the ground and its eyes fixed on the bowl of water.
She moved the bowl slightly to the left, and the bear's eyes immediately followed the movement and turned to the left.
It didn't pounce to steal the food, nor did it make any aggressive moves; it just sat there quietly.
Seeing this, Su Qingzhi gently placed the bowl on the ground.
When the little bear saw the bowl fall to the ground, it immediately waddled over slowly with its short legs, lowered its head, and began to drink it down in large gulps.
In the blink of an eye, it drank the half bowl of water clean, even licking the last drop into its mouth.
Su Qingzhi reached out and took back the empty bowl. Seeing it still smacking its lips with lingering enjoyment, she couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Go back after you've finished drinking. We have to go now and can't follow you any longer."
She didn't know if the little guy could understand human speech.
Anyway, after saying that, she didn't linger any longer. She clapped her hands, turned around, and grabbed Shen Zhiyu's wrist to leave.
To everyone's surprise, the little bear didn't turn around and go home. Instead, it stood there for two seconds before quietly following behind.
The two looked back and saw it trailing behind them at a distance.
They looked at each other, completely at a loss.
The little guy seemed determined to accept them as his companions.
No matter how much I waved or pretended to ignore it, it stubbornly refused to leave.
Su Qingzhi finally stopped, sighed, and squatted down to look at it at eye level.
When the little bear saw her stop, it obediently lay down beside her, its head tilted to the side, its eyes sparkling.
Then, it suddenly rolled over on the ground in a cute way, revealing its soft white belly. Its furry belly was facing the sky. It rolled twice, and its limbs even twirled in the air a few times.
Where are your parents?
Su Qingzhi reached out and poked its belly, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"If you keep following us, won't they be worried sick if they can't find you? The forest is so big and dangerous."
The little bear, of course, couldn't understand these words, but it seemed to like the tone of her voice, affectionately nuzzling her palm with its head, its nose wet.
Su Qingzhi smiled helplessly.
The two exchanged a glance and finally had to make a decision.
Since we can't shake it off, let's bring it back to camp first. We can't let it run around outside on its own.
The group continued walking towards the camp. As soon as they reached the entrance, Jiaojiao was the first to rush out.
But when she caught a glimpse of a small bear following not far behind Su Qingzhi, her expression instantly changed.
Without saying a word, Jiaojiao rushed forward, grabbed the bear with her arm, and twisted her waist and abdomen to give the bear a standard over-the-shoulder throw!
With a "bang," the little bear was thrown to the ground. Before it could react, Jiaojiao quickly raised her military boot, stepped on its back, and pressed it down to prevent it from moving.
She kept a wary eye on the teddy bear while nervously glancing at Su Qingzhi, her voice trembling.
"Sister-in-law! Did this bear follow you the whole way? Was it trying to attack you? Are you hurt?"
Su Qingzhi's lips twitched; she was utterly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She rushed forward, grabbed Jiao Jiao's arm, and pulled her backward forcefully.
"No, no, no! Let go! It's not what you think! It didn't mean to hurt me, not at all!"
