Yu Ling initially thought that Lang Gu had discovered the bad things he and She Yan were doing behind her back. She was about to marvel at how these violent wolves actually had brains, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding... Maybe he thought She Yan had asked him to do some dirty and tiring work looking after the cubs again?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yu Ling wasn't going to listen to him. "You should go and attend to the clan's affairs. And don't forget what you promised me!"
"My promise will always stand. Just tell me if you need anything. And... thank you, Rabbit White."
After Lang Gu finished speaking, he turned and left. But the thought that Yu Ling had agreed to She Yan's 'unequal treaty' because of his request made him feel uneasy. His nose tingled, and he had no choice but to leave in a hurry.
"That's strange... I feel like his reaction is a bit over the top. Isn't it just giving Brother Snake Flame his work for free?"
Unable to understand why Lang Gu looked unhappy, Yu Ling chose to ignore him. This world only seemed to have some challenging side quests, so it was better to finish them as soon as possible and then relax. Since the clan leader had already instructed her to pack her luggage, she should also pack up the essential prayer items for the ancestral hall.
With the wolf clan not going out hunting, there was less work to do at the ancestral hall, and Yu Ling finally got a good day's rest. After everyone had packed up all their belongings, the entire wolf clan began to migrate towards the refuge.
—It was a place where prey was scarce but could easily accommodate all the wolves, and it also provided shelter from the wind and rain. It was at a high altitude with few exits, making it convenient to gather together for warmth, and it was a good place to resist the cold.
Tribes like the Lion, Tiger, and Leopard tribes often make choices similar to those of the Wolf tribe. Meanwhile, the Eagle, Vulture, and Eagle tribes, which dominate the skies, choose to reinforce their nests built on cliffs. The original Rabbit tribe continues to dig deeper underground, and other tribes each have their own paths.
In short, the wolf clan has retreated, and the lion clan is about to begin. The journey is quite long and will take several days to arrive. Yu Ling asked Lang Gu to cover for her while she stayed behind alone to meet up with She Yan and begin their operation according to their previous plan.
While the lion clan escorted the human heroine on her leisurely journey, Serpent Flame had already led the snake clan back to their original lair. Soon, the dwelling, which the heroine had painstakingly renovated to cater to human aesthetics, was completely ransacked.
Yu Ling also used a tunneling method to evade the patrols guarding the fox clan's home and reach the fox clan's territory. In addition to natural tree holes and burrows, the fox clan's habitat also included a vast grassland covered with all kinds of strange and exotic flowers and plants. Various rare plants of different colors grew on the grassland, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Beside the meadow grew many tall trees with thick trunks and lush foliage. Birds flitted freely among the trees, and insects and butterflies danced and fluttered among the flowers and shrubs. This was the beautiful scene that Yu Ling saw when she emerged from the flowerbed.
Foxes love beauty, and when choosing a place to live, they would rather go a long way to hunt than not choose a beautiful place, and they would take great care of it every day.
Yu Ling, still mindful of her mission, looked around and, avoiding the fox, made her way to where they had stored their food.
Like the snake and rabbit tribes, the fox tribe takes refuge near their dens when they are caught in natural disasters. They don't have to rush to hide in advance. There are very few foxes left in the tribe. Yu Ling used her true form to dig a hole and sneak in. Of course, the guard fox at the entrance where the food was stored would not pay attention to the area outside the door.
When Yu Ling successfully entered, she discovered that their stored food was already overflowing. The abundance of food in the fox clan's diet was evident in this food storage area.
Look, besides all sorts of small animals that are 'meat' everywhere, there are also many eggs of different sizes piled up in the corner, some of which Yu Ling has never seen before, such as a giant egg that looks like an oversized ostrich egg.
A variety of fruits, branches and leaves included, were piled together. Food in the beastman world rots very slowly, and this large pile of food was more than enough for the entire fox clan to survive the cold snap.
Yu Ling's original intention was to trick the Lion Clan, so she didn't take much. She picked out some fruit and honey and threw them into the hole she came from, intending to transport them back to frame the Lion Clan. She also used her full power and her rabbit's digging talent to dig another hole of similar size under the Fox Clan's food storage hole. The two holes were connected by only a small pit.
What is the ultimate way to steal quickly and undetected? It's to hide and then take it slowly. Yu Ling only needs to do the first part, which makes it faster. She stuffs most of the stored food into the new hole further inside.
She laid some branches and sprinkled some soil on the pit, then scattered the remaining fruits and other vegetarian food on top—perfect! After finishing her work, Yu Ling cleared away any traces she had left behind and used the 'stolen goods' given to her by the snake flame to create some signs that the lion clan had been there before returning the way she came.
Meanwhile, Snake Flame began directing the snake clan to wreak havoc, precisely targeting the territory of the fox clan's allies, the Bee Clan and Butterfly Clan, and casually spreading the false rumor that "the lion clan cheated the eagle clan out of their food for a certain female and then stole from the fox clan."
Bee Clan\u0026 Butterfly Clan: Fox Clan's home was raided?! Zun Du Jia Du Oo?
Never mind whether it's true or not, I should hurry up and inform the fox clan sisters first!
Everything was unfolding as Snake Flame and Jade Ling had envisioned. The fox clan initially disbelieved it, but upon seeing the looted grain depot, they disregarded the source of the news and immediately stormed the lion clan's territory to retrieve their remaining grain.
The fox clan, in a grand procession seeking revenge, happened to pass by a giant wild bear that was disturbing a beehive. They helped the bee clan lure the bear away and even led it towards the lion clan, determined to make things difficult for the lion clan as well.
After Yu Ling brought news of the fox clan's arrival to the snake clan, the lion clan, now devastated, was left with only ruins and some fruits and honey that Yu Ling had deliberately left behind. He even placed them in small bottles and jars, making it seem like they had been left behind, to make the lion clan's lie about stealing more believable.
—On the other hand, Snake Flame wasn't satisfied with just delivering the message to the Fox Clan; she also needed to find an opportunity to spread the rumor that 'the Fox Clan, still holding a grudge against the females, took advantage of their refuge to wipe out the Lion Clan's home.'
The female lead's reaction to the lion clan was surprisingly familiar: Zun Du Jia Du Oo?
What are we waiting for? We left half of them with supplies to seek refuge, while the female protagonist and her chieftain led the other half of the lion clan on their way back to their homeland.
After the two groups finally met at the Lion Clan's village... in the Lion Clan's eyes—the Fox Clan and a wild bear were destroying their home. In the Fox Clan's eyes—the thief had discovered something he'd left behind and was trying to cover his tracks?! What were they waiting for? Damn it, let's go!
