Lin Ye was worried that he would be suspected, but Jiang Lu helped him cover up the lie.
He offered a seemingly compassionate consolation: "Since your sister doesn't want you anymore, you should live a good life on your own from now on. You have considerable talent, so start hunting with the hunting vanguard today. You can then compensate Lal with the food you get. What do you think?"
The clan chief realized that this matter was definitely related to forestry, otherwise why would he have come to meddle?
But he didn't care. She was just a barren woman; once she was gone, she was gone.
“Young Jiang is now sixteen years old and can indeed join the hunting team and leave the tribe to participate in hunting activities. If you don’t receive compensation from Lal within half a month, then you can leave the tribe directly.”
Jiang Lu was still fuming about his sister's complete rejection of him. Hearing the chieftain's decision, he couldn't do anything about it, no matter how dissatisfied he was, since he didn't want to be kicked out of the tribe.
Lar was extremely proud and immediately stood up from the ground. "Thank you, Chieftain, for upholding justice for me. Jiang Lu, don't even think about going back on your word!"
"Who said that Jiang Cha left the tribe voluntarily?"
The high priest, leaning on his cane and with a gloomy face, walked step by step through the crowd.
…………………………
In the forest.
"How much longer?"
There are no clocks in this world, so Jiang Cha can only roughly estimate the time. She feels that she has been walking for two or three hours.
The surrounding area is filled with ancient, towering trees, whose intertwined roots rise high on the ground, threatening to trip you if you're not careful.
She felt like her legs didn't belong to her anymore.
Feng Mu turned around and said, "How about I carry you on my back?"
"No need, I can still walk."
Jiang Cha didn't want to be too strong, mainly because this cowardly rabbit looked pale and seemed weaker than her. She was afraid that if she climbed onto its back, she might fall and get hurt.
"Well... just hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Feng Mu glanced back, his worried gaze sweeping over the two of them before finally settling on the girl.
He had never seen a female who was unafraid of heavenly fire, and this little female not only dared to create heavenly fire, but also carried a strange fire source on her body.
What's even stranger is that he couldn't find that thing at all last night.
Perhaps this little female possesses some kind of magical ability.
Otherwise, she could leave the tribe alone late at night without crying or making a fuss, and calmly face all dangers.
If he hadn't pretended to be a weak rabbit, he probably would have had his head blown off last night.
I've been following in his footsteps all this way, and I haven't complained of being tired once.
He was nothing like the foxes in his tribe who spent all day acting spoiled and lazy, and who always wanted a male to carry them when they went out.
Beautiful, intelligent, radiant, and courageous—this is exactly the kind of partner he dreams of.
Even if she was a barren woman, he still wanted to be her beastly husband.
Unfortunately, his ability to transform has been sealed, leaving him with no fighting power whatsoever.
He had just caught a whiff of his clansmen's scent; those people would likely not let him go, and he was currently powerless to protect her.
Feng Mu withdrew his gaze, but did not slow his pace, continuing to hurry on his way.
Feng Mu only stopped when Jiang Cha was so exhausted that she had to lean against an ancient tree and gasp for breath.
He has only lost his fighting ability; the male's natural physical strength is incomparable to that of the weak female.
"You must be tired, we're almost there."
"Phew, I feel like the rain is coming soon. How much further do we have to go?"
After catching her breath, Jiang Cha prepared to continue her journey, but was stopped by the man's long, slender arm.
Feng Mu knelt down with heartache, looking at Jiang Cha's bleeding feet, and asked softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"
It was he who dragged the little female into this mess. If those guys hadn't chased after them, they wouldn't have had to be running around so desperately.
"fine……"
It's just a superficial injury; it's nothing like the pain of chemotherapy in her past life. She's the best at enduring pain.
Feng Mu gritted his teeth, took out two strange stones from the animal skin bag at his waist, and struck them together forcefully, making a rhythmic "bang... bang bang" sound.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Cha was puzzled and warily moved a little further away from him, feeling that this guy was summoning some dangerous creature.
"Awoo~"
A moment later, a wolf howl came from afar, and Feng Mu's strange percussion music stopped.
Holy crap! Is this summoning a pack of wolves?
Jiang Cha turned and ran. This cowardly rabbit was no joke; how could a rabbit command a wolf...?
"Jiang Cha, don't go over there, it's dangerous!"
After much deliberation, Feng Mu finally resorted to the method he least wanted to use: seeking help from the wolf king he had saved years ago.
Unexpectedly, he frightened the little female and chased after her in frustration.
There are traces of his people over there.
Jiang Cha stopped running after a while; she could already hear rustling sounds.
Looking up, they saw four or five men in black robes walking towards them.
He's obviously not a good person.
It was truly a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place. Jiang Cha composed herself slightly and walked back.
"They're here to see you."
Jiang Cha stared into his eyes and said.
"yes."
The little female is really smart.
"So, you're not a rabbit, right?"
Feng Mu: "..."
Now is the time to talk about this, he suddenly squatted down, picked up the ginger tea and ran.
"I'll explain later. Believe me, I really have no ill intentions towards you."
Jiang Cha, already on his back, didn't remove the dagger from his neck. "Tell me, what is your beast form?"
