Knowing that it was genuine concern, Wu Hua did not hide anything.
"Don't worry, the clan leader is fine and is resting in his cave now!"
Upon hearing this, Fenfen felt something was amiss and kept insisting that Wu Hua let it out so it could see for itself.
After Wu Hua did as she was told, she walked over to Qin Luo, who had been silent for a long time.
"Luo Luo, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking to me?"
Looking at his tall, handsome appearance, Qin Luo felt a little awkward.
"No, no, it's just that I'm not used to it yet."
After she finished speaking, Wu Hua did something very incongruous with her current appearance.
He pursed his lips and stomped his feet rapidly on the ground.
"Luo Luo, you've changed. Does it mean that now that I've grown up, you don't love me anymore?"
Seeing this familiar act of acting cute, Qin Luo instantly realized that Wu Hua was just wearing an adult's skin; inside, she was still that little brat.
Then, the feeling of distance vanished, and she smiled and tapped his forehead.
"You heartless wretch, how could you say such a thing?"
Seeing that she was willing to interact with her, Wu Hua's smile returned.
"Luo Luo, I miss you so much~"
He reached out to hug her, but Qin Luo immediately stepped back to avoid him.
"Hey, Qin Wuhua, watch your words and actions. You're an adult now, no longer that little brat. Remember the difference between men and women."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua withdrew her hand in annoyance.
"I told them I didn't want to grow up so fast, but the domain lord and the clan leader wouldn't listen. They said if I were too short, other beasts wouldn't even be able to see me at eye level..."
Qin Luo couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that scene.
"Haha, I think they're right, hahaha..."
Before her laughter could even fade, Wu Hua stepped on her foot.
"Dare to mock me? I'll stomp on you..."
The moment his foot landed, a familiar pain shot straight to the top of Qin Luo's head.
"Ahhh..."
The screams terrified Ejiao and Niu Niu, who buried their heads in the planting field.
Seeing this, Mao Mao quickly went forward to check, and Tengteng immediately followed.
"Boss, are you alright? Quick, let me carry you to the stream for a soak."
She walked up to Qin Luo, but she was only up to his knees. Her helpless expression was both frustrating and amusing.
Seeing her like this, Teng Teng swung out a vine and wrapped it around Qin Luo, who was still crying, and was about to walk towards the stream when...
Wu Hua waved her hand and unleashed a burst of energy towards Qin Luo's instep. The next second, Qin Luo stopped screaming.
After gesturing for Tengteng to put him down, he even bounced around a little.
"Little one, you seem to have become much better."
After she finished speaking, Wu Hua immediately raised her head proudly.
"Of course, now I am the most powerful Dang Kang in the entire beast realm..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tengteng's expression suddenly hardened.
"Something's happened..."
The others looked at her in confusion: "Who's in trouble?"
"It must be the clan leader. I sensed something was wrong with Fenfen's emotions."
The moment she finished speaking, Wu Hua vanished from her spot, and Qin Luo quickly teleported out of the spatial dimension, running towards the old patriarch's cave.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they heard Wu Hua crying.
"How could this happen? It was perfectly fine when I came back..."
Sensing the fear and panic in his voice, Qin Luo immediately rushed in, only to find the old patriarch lying on the stone bed, barely alive.
The domain lord and the clan beasts of the Dangkang clan stood quietly to the side. Seeing this scene, she understood the general idea.
The old patriarch must have been seriously injured back in the Chaos Land. In order to help Wu Hua grow up quickly so that she could stand on her own in the future, he...
Only then did he discuss with the domain lord, tricking him into coming to the realm and giving him all of his remaining energy.
Looking at the extremely sorrowful Wu Hua, Qin Luo disregarded the distinction between men and women, reached out and tightly grasped his hand, softly comforting him in her heart.
"Little one, stop crying. Go listen to what the clan leader has to say."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua wiped away her tears, took her hand, and led her to the stone bed, pressing her ear close to the old clan chief's mouth.
Then, while listening to him apologize again and again...
"My dear, I shouldn't have lied to you. Please forgive me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hua's tears, which she had just wiped away, burst forth again.
"Grandpa Chief, it's my fault. I wasn't capable enough, which caused you so much trouble. It's all my fault..."
"No, it's not your fault. It's because I haven't been a good enough clan leader. Can you do a better job for me?"
"Yes, I can. I will definitely retrieve all the small beasts that have fallen from the tribe, and I will also make the tribe stronger. Please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the old clan chief closed his eyes with a smile on his lips, a single, cloudy tear rolling down his cheek.
His body then turned into dust, drifting across the beast realm, making a final contribution to the land that had nurtured him.
Then, all the beasts roared in unison, their cries of grief echoing through the heavens, and the bone whistle of the Martial Flower Space lit up.
Shennong Kunfu, far away in the human realm, seemed to sense everything that was happening in the beast realm.
She looked up into the void, tears streaming down her face, and murmured, "Rest in peace..."
Funerals in the beast realm are not as elaborate as those in the human realm, because they believe that although the old patriarch has passed away...
But the Beast Soul will surely choose to protect every inch of the Beast Realm.
From now on, all the storms and trials of this world will be transformed from his heroic spirit, as if he were still by my side.
After the funeral, all the beasts returned to their usual tranquility.
Only Wu Hua locked herself up for seven whole days, during which time she didn't see anyone, including Qin Luo.
