Xia Yixin initially struggled and resisted, but she relaxed after smelling the familiar scent. It was Xiao.
She had a sense of "I knew it," and all the things that had been inexplicable and strange before suddenly became clear.
Why did she feel like something was following her in the sky, along with the fruit that appeared out of nowhere, and the high-level beast spirit that suddenly appeared and was fighting with Han?
Finally, there was the hurricane that had just saved her; you know, only the wings of an eagle can create such a strong wind.
As expected, it was Xiao. Putting aside the question of how he chased after us...
What does his behavior mean?
And what's the point of arresting her now? He clearly doesn't like her.
A surge of evil fire rose within her, and seeing that the other party seemed determined to fly away in one breath, she transformed back into her original form as a silver snake with a thought.
It darted away from his grasp in a flash.
While in mid-air, she transformed back into human form, used her lightness skill to step on the tall tree canopy, and easily landed on an open space.
It was already late afternoon.
Just as she fell, her wrist was grabbed by the owl.
"Come back with me!"
Xia Yixin was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She immediately broke free from him, but before she could even say the word of refusal, she was filled with shock and anger upon seeing his state.
The man looked even worse than Han. His beast form didn't reveal anything, but now she could see more than a dozen large wounds, and his whole body was soaked in blood. Yet he was still standing there as if nothing had happened.
Under her gaze, Xiao subconsciously tried to cover his wounds and explained, "Cough, I held back my strength."
Xia Yixin really wanted to kick him hard.
She did just that, angrily saying, "What are you talking about holding back? You're like this, you're going to collapse from blood loss before you've even gotten very far. Sit down, let me treat your wounds first."
Her kick to his calf felt like a cat scratch; Xiao didn't feel any pain at all.
He obediently sat down on the ground, watching her take out some things one after another from her bag with a sullen face. The small bag looked small, but it was surprisingly spacious.
When Xia Yixin was bandaging Xiao's wounds, she noticed that although they looked gruesome, they had actually begun to heal. When she first met them, they were injured but not seriously, so she hadn't noticed this.
She stared at it for a long time, puzzled.
As if guessing what she was wondering, Xiao explained in a good mood, "The stronger the beast spirit power, the stronger the healing ability, and the faster the wound heals."
She seemed lost in thought, thinking of something else. On this continent, just as the system had said, the advantages of the Bai family bloodline were no longer obvious. Moreover, she belatedly realized that it was a bit too naive of her to confirm Lu Yan's identity solely based on the characteristics of the Bai family bloodline.
The supreme deity was more cunning than she imagined.
Before long, Xiao was wrapped up in a dusty burlap sack and looked like a half-mummy. Apart from the somewhat gruesome wound on his cheek, he looked much better.
She clapped her hands and was about to stand up when he grabbed her hand.
She met a pair of deep blue eyes, and for a moment she was dazed.
“Don’t move. The beastmen’s saliva is somewhat beneficial to these things,” Owl explained.
She weakly protested, "Then I can do it myself..." She tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't, and gave up.
Just like modern cats and dogs licking their wounds when they are injured, after he treated her, miraculously, the wound on her palm really healed.
She quickly withdrew her hand.
She stepped back a long way, wiped her hands on her clothes behind her back, and looked up to meet his narrowed, displeased blue eyes.
He disliked her guarded attitude towards him.
Xiao had actually just arrived in this area early in the morning. He was shocked to find that this was actually the new tribe of the Snow Wolf Clan. From the conversations of the tribespeople, he learned that the little guy had not come here by accident, but had been invited and had become the savior of the Snow Wolf Clan!
For the first time, Xiao questioned his own judgment.
If she wasn't lying to him, if the wild man she liked was Han.
An endless killing intent surged from the depths of his azure eyes. Xiao had only one thought in his mind: he would kill Han and then take her away, regardless of whether she said she really liked him or not!
The reason he suffered such severe injuries was indeed because he had been holding back his strength, as he had secretly administered a unique poison from the Eagle Clan to Han.
When the time was right, he couldn't wait to do it.
His resolve remains unchanged.
"Come back with me." His tone left no room for negotiation.
Xia Yixin subconsciously shook her head, ignoring the other person's darkening expression. "I can't go back. I still have unfinished business here." If she didn't complete the system mission, she would be immediately eliminated, and there was a time limit. Besides…
She thought of the familiar, cold fragrance emanating from Han, and she knew she had to find out if he was really Lu Yan.
She noticed with her sharp eyes that he was reaching out to her again, and she was so frightened that she took several steps back. Suddenly, she regretted healing this guy and simply threw the poison of the Shadowless Flower at him.
Immediately, he became immobilized, just like the two fox clan members before him.
Upon realizing this, Xiao's eyes flashed with rage. "How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xia Yixin was also angered and glared at him. "Xiao, I am not your child, nor am I anyone to you. Our relationship is equal. I have my freedom. And to put it another way, I did help the Eagle Clan get through the cold season. Even if I didn't work hard, I still deserve some credit, right? Can't you respect my decision?"
She felt particularly annoyed and bored towards the end, and sighed softly as she looked at the man with veins bulging on his forehead.
"Go back after you've recovered from the poison. It's almost breeding season, so you should find yourself a mate."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but after taking only a few steps, she heard a man's deep, hoarse voice behind her.
"I don't want anyone but you. Little one, come back with me, let's go home."
Her heart skipped a beat, a familiar feeling welled up inside her, but her thoughts were quickly disrupted by the system's notification sound.
"Warning! Warning! If the male protagonist's health drops to 30, or to 25, the mission will be considered a failure, and he will be immediately eliminated!"
She didn't dare look back at his expression, and after saying "I'm sorry," she quickly left.
She couldn't understand what was wrong with her; her mind was in turmoil, and she felt somewhat depressed.
Is it because of... guilt?
She couldn't figure it out for a moment; it was as if something was wrong with her ever since she woke up from hibernation.
As expected, the system notification appeared: "Male supporting character's happiness level has decreased by 30, currently at 50!"
