Chapter 574 Plucking Feathers and Boiling Soup



"Lord Wuqi, 'Overlord' has disappeared from the sky above the dense forest."

When the Tartar army arrived at the edge of the dense forest, they could not see the 'Overlord' circling overhead.

They followed the 'Overlord' all the way to this place, but they did not see the eagle circling overhead.

Wuqi, riding on horseback, looked up and surveyed the dense forest, which contained only tree trunks and branches.

This place is not far from the city of Da Jin. If that demoness manages to escape back to Da Jin...

At that time, finding that demoness in the Great Jin Dynasty would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

After much deliberation, Wuqi decided not to search the dense forest, so as not to delay the time to capture the demoness.

In her opinion, no matter how capable that demoness was, she couldn't possibly have escaped back to the Great Jin City with Qin Shiyu without making a sound.

As long as she leads her troops to besiege the city, she will surely be able to capture him and avenge the eldest prince and her brother!

Wuqi tightened the reins and shouted, "Keep chasing!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of galloping horses rang out continuously, and the Tartar army bypassed the dense forest, heading directly towards the city of Dajin.

As Wuqi led the Tartars across the snow, searching for Lu Qiqi's trail.

Lu Qiqi was boiling water in her spatial dimension, completely unaware of the commotion outside.

The eagle 'Overlord' had already been played to death by Wangcai and Xiaoye. Lu Qiqi thought that its body temperature had not yet cooled down, so she quickly bled it out and plucked its feathers.

Fresh prey should be processed promptly to make a delicious soup.

Tadar didn't know how long he had raised it, but when he plucked its fur, he found that it had quite a bit of flesh on its body, weighing at least fifty pounds.

But when she cut open the 'Overlord's' belly, she found a finger bone inside.

With just one glance, Lu Qiqi felt a chill run down her spine.

This awful thing!

That damned bastard Tadar actually fed this eagle such food!

Fortunately, she didn't cut off a leg to make soup, otherwise she would have seen the undigested food in its stomach after eating the meat and drinking the soup.

I'd throw up even leftovers from the night before!

Lu Qiqi was annoyed just looking at it after all her hard work had been for nothing.

After washing her hands, she used her mind to throw the remains of the 'Overlord', along with its plucked feathers and all the flesh, out of her space to prevent it from soiling her territory!

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qiqi went into the small wooden house to take a look at Qin Shiyu before leaving the space.

Finding that she showed no signs of waking up, he reached out and touched her forehead. Only after confirming that she did not have a high fever did he feel relieved and leave the space with Wangcai and Xiaoye.

Lu Qiqi went into the space for two reasons: first, to pluck the feathers of the 'Overlord' and boil it into soup; and second, to evade the Tartars' pursuit.

It now appears that the Tartars did not stop their search of the dense forest just because the 'Overlord' had circled over it.

This result was not unexpected for her.

Because she knew very well that if the Tartars did not search the dense forest, they would definitely intercept her outside the border city.

However, she was not afraid. She had her spatial ability, and even if she spent the entire winter in it, she would have enough food to keep her and Qin Shiyu warm and fed.

However, Lu Qiqi did not want to tell anyone except Song Yanqing about the existence of the space.

When Qin Shiyu was seriously injured and unable to leave the cabin alone, she could still fabricate lies.

But once Qin Shiyu recovers, the matter of the space will be laid bare before her without reservation.

The secret remains a secret because very few people know it. She didn't want to gamble that someone else would keep the secret of her space forever.

Lu Qiqi left the space with a wolf and a tiger. As if sensing that she was about to leave, Wangcai kept tugging at her trouser leg.

It seems they wanted to keep her here by doing this.

Lu Qiqi looked at Wangcai, bent down to stroke its head, and whispered, "Do you want to come with me?"

She raised Wangcai from infancy to his current majestic appearance, and has long regarded him as a member of the family.

Now, Wangcai has survived on the grassland for more than three months and has become the alpha wolf, able to command hundreds of wolves.

At this moment, she was unsure whether Wangcai would be willing to leave with her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wangcai seemed to understand her words, letting out a sad whimper and rubbing its fur against her palm.

Both the human and the wolf knew in their hearts that they could not keep each other.

Lu Qiqi wasn't exactly saddened by Wangcai's choice; she was mostly happy for it.

Wolves are social animals, so finding their own pack is a good thing for Wangcai.

What's more, there was a mother wolf not far away, with several wolf cubs, staring at the direction she was standing.

When the wolf cubs saw Wangcai, they tried to follow him on their short legs, but the mother wolf picked them up one by one and carried them back.

Wangcai turned his head away reluctantly, then called out to the mother wolf.

Before long, the mother wolf brought her seven wolf cubs to Lu Qiqi.

Wangcai turned around and walked to the mother wolf's side, stretched out its paw, and patted the seven wolf cubs a few times, as if it were choosing something.

Then, it carried a wolf cub in its mouth and shooed another one away from its feet, and walked towards Lu Qiqi.

Now, Lu Qiqi finally understood Wangcai's actions. She said, "Wangcai, are you going to hand over your child to me to raise?"

Why did she have this feeling of being a mother-in-law?

Wangcai released the wolf cub from its mouth, nudged the cub's bottom twice with the tip of its nose, and made it walk to Lu Qiqi.

The wolf cub looked to be just over a month old, its limbs trembling slightly from the cold snow.

Lu Qiqi wanted to refuse because Wangcai had been raised by her since it was a cub. Without a mother wolf to raise it, it would not only be difficult to teach the wolf cub to hunt, but it would also lose the warmth and affection of kinship.

She didn't want these two cubs to repeat their father's mistakes.

Before she could even speak, Wangcai turned around and left without looking back, taking the mother wolf and her five wolf cubs with him.

The mother wolf was quite far from Lu Qiqi, and the two stared at each other. Lu Qiqi seemed to understand the mother wolf's intention to entrust her with something.

Wangcai and his family left, and the two wolf cubs at Lu Qiqi's feet were still unaware of what had happened.

They were very interested in Lu Qiqi's red cloak, but they were too short to even reach the edge, so they had to tilt their heads back and tiptoe to try and hook it with their mouths.

Lu Qiqi squatted down, hugged the two wolf cubs into her arms, and said softly, "Since that's the case, you two will live with me from now on."

Whether they understood or felt the warmth under the cloak, the two wolf cubs nestled obediently in Lu Qiqi's arms, remaining motionless.

Holding the two little ones, Lu Qiqi felt a soft, tender feeling in her heart, as if a certain spot had been touched.

Watching Wangcai walk away with his wife and children, Lu Qiqi instantly understood Wangcai's intention.

Since it can no longer be with her, let its children stay and keep her company.
