The gathering was to continue, and Li pulled Xia Yixin to sit in the best spot, and thoughtfully brought her a bowl of minced meat soup.
"Xia, drink up, you must be starving."
"Thank you." Xia Yixin drank a bowl of porridge, soothing her stomach which had been empty for a long time, and looked quite satisfied.
Watching her eat made Li feel hungry too, and she always felt that there was a kind of magic about her, a magic that made people believe in her.
Li ruffled her hair; it was soft and felt good to the touch. No wonder the clan elder always did it; it was definitely addictive.
"Is that enough? If not, there's more. We thought you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow, after all, tomorrow is the first day of the windy season."
"Windy season?" Did she sleep through the entire cold season?
"Of course, Xia, you slept for a full four months. We were all very worried about you at first, but the chieftain said you were hibernating, and seeing how well you were sleeping, we stopped worrying about it."
"Uh, I didn't expect it to take this long. By the way, where's Xiao?" He wasn't there for such a big event in the clan.
"The clan leader went out this morning, but when he comes back, you should thank him properly. He's been the most exhausted person these past few months." Li winked knowingly.
"???" Xia Yixin was completely dumbfounded.
Li immediately realized that she might not know yet, and said mysteriously, "You woke up at an inopportune time. You woke up right after the clan leader left. Let me tell you about what happened during this time..."
Li simply told Xia Yixin about what Xiao had been doing making 'hand warmers' during this time.
He concluded by saying, "Xia, I've never seen the clan leader care so much about any female. I'm so envious of you now. You really shouldn't consider our clan leader, it would be such a waste."
She gave an awkward laugh, but her heart was in turmoil. Xiao had actually held her for four months!
She felt a little panicked.
This has gone beyond the boundaries of friendship. She initially thought it was a misunderstanding between them, but now it seems he might really have feelings for her...
She chatted casually with Li for a bit, then returned to her stone house, ready to slip away. She felt it was best to calm down for a while, and she sensed that something had changed.
Fortunately, she had learned the animal script here from Li before. After returning to the stone house, she wrote a letter to Xiao with animal hide and charcoal pencil and put it on the table. After thinking about it, she decided not to leave the feather necklace behind, but put it in her storage ring instead.
After all, she'll be coming back.
Before leaving, she found Li and said that she had something to do and needed to go out. She would return in a few days and then ride away on Big Flower. She also told them not to forget to continue building Stone City if they had free time, and left some daily medicines for Li to take care of.
Because Xia Yixin had ridden the big flower to search for herbs before, Li didn't think much of it.
Meanwhile, completely unaware that a certain owl had already run away, it was taking advantage of the darkness to reach the Huaxia tribe's side.
In the darkness, the atmosphere within the Huaxia community was oppressive.
In the past few days, a major event has occurred within the Huaxia Clan: Feng, the patriarch of the Xiong Hu Clan and also the current leader's partner, has been seriously injured.
"It was done by a traitor within the Ying tribe! They must be holding a grudge against us and did this on purpose," a tribesman speculated.
But soon another message came from somewhere saying that the Snow Wolf Clan had done it immediately.
"The Snow Wolf Clan Chief Han has always had designs on our leader. The Snow Wolf Clan is most skilled at ambushes, so perhaps they did it on purpose..."
Various speculations circulated widely within the tribe, yet the Xionghu tribe, which operated independently, remained arrogant and domineering within the community.
They were tall and strong, and had strong fighting power. The other tiger clans, fox clans, and other clans in the tribe were too few in number to pose a threat, so they could only passively be bullied.
During the hunt, they did all the dangerous, dirty, and tiring work, while other herbivores fared even worse, becoming slaves. In the cold season, some of their young cubs were even eaten by the bear-tiger tribe.
Feng had been stabbed through the abdomen. Although he was saved, his fighting ability would be greatly reduced in the future. The shaman of the Bear Tiger Clan sighed and changed his medicine. He said worriedly, "Chief, our chieftain is probably not going to wake up for a while. Don't worry too much. You are carrying the hope of the next generation of the Bear Tiger Clan."
Lin Luo nodded sadly, her gaze lingering on the male lying on the bed. "I will definitely wait for him to wake up with the child."
The shaman nodded, still marveling to himself before leaving. Despite being partners for mutual benefit, this female was indeed devoted to the male once he had taken her body. Their chieftain was quite capable. Once the little chieftain was born, the entire Huaxia tribe would belong to their Xionghu tribe.
However, the witch doctor could never have imagined that not long after he left, Lin Luo's expression would turn completely disgusted and hateful.
A nimble white fox slipped in through the back door of the cabin and soon transformed into a handsome man dressed in animal skins.
He couldn't wait to hug Lin Luo tightly. "Baby, I've missed you so much."
Unexpectedly, a sharp pain shot through his right wrist.
Lin Luo gripped the male's still bruised wrist and said unhappily, "Don't you even know where you are before you start messing around?"
Hu's right wrist was broken by Han's kick before, and it hasn't fully healed yet.
He reluctantly released the "delicious food" he had just put in his mouth, looked at the unconscious Feng with disdain, and sneered.
"What are you afraid of? That idiot was given a secret medicine of my fox clan. Even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, he won't wake up. And with the knife you stabbed him, he'll never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life."
Hu Ke had absolutely no liking for this Feng. If it weren't for the fear that the Xiong Hu clan would cause trouble if he died, she would have wanted to tear him apart.
Lin Luo was also filled with disgust. She originally thought Feng was just a big, dumb guy, but she didn't expect him to want to control her. She thought she would follow him wholeheartedly because of a child, just like other females.
Ha! How ridiculous!
She will never again be a breeding machine. No matter what it takes, she will obtain the highest power on this continent, so that everyone will look up to her and dare not harm her again!
Lin Luo suppressed the madness in his eyes and asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do going?"
"Don't worry, I've already tied up a lot of the goods you want during the cold season. They're all being kept in our secret base. As long as you ask, we can handle them immediately. It's just a pity that the Snow Wolf Clan stole a lot of our 'goods'."
Thinking of something, a cruel smile crept across his face. "But don't worry, baby, I also gave them a big gift. They wanted to steal our stuff, didn't they? Haha, I'll let them have a taste of 'fun'!"
Lin Luo knew that Hu was treacherous and cunning, and must have done something to the Snow Wolf Clan. She felt a little reluctant, but the thought of him leaving her hardened her heart.
At this moment, Hu suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, some of my clansmen went to the Ying clan and brought back news these past few days. The Ying clan has somehow found a little witch doctor from the Silver Serpent clan. I heard she's quite interesting, and their chieftain wants to find her as his partner."
