The army is coming
Cody and Ethan waited in the cave for more than an hour, and suddenly the Black Hawk tribe's army appeared outside the Snow Owl tribe.
The dark mass of mechas stood out against the snow, with Chief Hogg leading the team himself.
Although they were not sure whether Anita was in the Snow Owl Tribe, they tracked Ethan's flight trajectory when he lost control to the vicinity of the Snow Mountain Forest, and the Snow Owl Tribe was the only one in this area.
The Snow Owl leader was discussing the matter of Anrita with his tribe.
He knew that he could not keep the people, but he still wanted to delay time to gain benefits for the tribe.
At this moment, a guard rushed in: "Chief! The Black Hawk Tribe's mecha guards have been spotted in the Snow Mountain Forest!"
Everyone stood up in shock. "What? Is Hogg going to break the Bird Star Peace Treaty and declare war on us?"
The Snow Owl Tribe was already wary of Black Hawk's strength, after all, he was the ruler of Feiniao Star.
Another tribesman hurriedly suggested, "Chief, why not let Saint Bai Ling go back? Our own Saint is no less capable, so why force someone from the main star to stay? Offending Black Hawk is already troublesome, and if we anger the main star again..."
The leader's face was solemn, but he still tried to remain calm:
"Don't panic, they don't dare to actually attack. I've never violated Interstellar Alliance regulations. I didn't let Anita leave because she was disguising herself. I had no way of knowing her origins. If you want to blame them, blame them for concealing their identities!"
The leader led his men out and asked his subordinates on the way:
"Did the female go and treat Hudson? We have to make sure he wakes up."
The subordinate hurriedly said, "I'll check it out right away."
At this moment, Anrita was preparing to go to Hudson's cave.
Knox was exceptionally clingy, and I had never seen him so dependent before: "Wife, can you please not go?"
Ever since he started calling her "wife master", his deep and hoarse voice always made Anrita's ears burn.
He held her tightly and said, "Why bother saving her when they're giving you such a hard time?"
Anita wrapped herself tightly in her fur coat:
"Of course, it's to avoid trouble. Didn't you say you were going to take me with you? Only by waking up Hudson can we leave safely. Besides, he was injured by Cody and Ethan while on patrol. If he doesn't wake up, the Snow Owl Tribe will definitely hold the royal family of the main planet accountable.
By then, Begway and the others might even have to apologize due to interstellar regulations—why bother?
She soothed him, "It's just a simple counseling to get him to open his eyes. It's still a long way to go before he can fully recover."
Seeing Anita dressed and naked, Knox's eyes lit up: "Can I go with you?"
Before he finished speaking, he had transformed into an animal and curled up in Anrita's large fur robe.
Anita blushed and warned, "Behave yourself. If you keep making trouble, I'll be angry."
The tentacles wrapped around her waist immediately became obedient and stopped moving.
As soon as she opened the door, Anrita ran into Luca and Lilia waiting outside.
Lilia's eyes lit up: "Anji, you finally..."
Her voice suddenly choked, and she stared at Angie in shock, "Who are you? Where's Angie?"
As he spoke, he walked around her and looked into the house, but was dizzy from the strong pheromones. "Who is releasing these pheromones? Where is Angie?"
Anita closed the door awkwardly and said with a smile, "I'm Angie."
Lilia: “???”
She widened her eyes and let out a blank exclamation after a while.
Luca stood aside, his eyes deep - the fleeting glimpse of Anritsu at the Snow Mountain Hot Spring had imprinted her stunning appearance in his mind.
She was already stunningly beautiful in the live broadcast, and even more charming in real life than in the video. No wonder all the males in the galaxy regarded this only S-class saint as their dream wife.
Seeing Lilia chattering around Anrita, Luca frowned and pulled her away: "That's enough, let's go see Hudson first."
Lilia then exclaimed, "Yes! I almost forgot!"
She took Anrita's hand again, her eyes sparkling, "Can I go with you?"
Anrita was amused by her sparkling eyes - it turned out that not only the males in the Snow Owl Tribe loved beautiful women, but the females were no exception.
But she was worried that Lilia would discover the tentacles hidden in her fur coat, so she had to withdraw her hand apologetically: "Okay, thank you, Lilia."
The stairs leading to Hudson Cave were steep and dangerous. In the past, Anita was inevitably frightened when climbing alone. But now with Knox transformed into a tentacle wrapped around her waist, she felt a little more at ease.
Luca looked at her cautious expression, his ears slightly reddened. "Anita, it's too dangerous here. Let me carry you up."
Remembering that he had rejected her before, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself in the snow.
Anita held onto the cliff and chuckled, "No need, I can do it. It's not like I haven't climbed before."
Luca was speechless and could only walk ahead silently, his fingertips stroking the corner of his clothes unnaturally.
Anita clutched the hem of her animal-skin skirt, her fingertips turning pale blue from the exertion, and she was holding her breath as she climbed the stone steps covered with icicles.
Suddenly, a dark shadow came from the cave above, breaking through the wind. The air currents caused by the flapping wings made her hair fly.
It was a giant eagle with a body as black as jade, its feathers gleaming with a faint blue luster under the cold sunlight, especially its pupils that shone with a cold light, like two crystal-clear emeralds.
"Ethan!"
Anita raised her head and exclaimed, with frost still on her eyelashes.
The giant eagle's wings suddenly stopped flapping, and its wings drew a messy arc in the air.
Ethan?
This warm name made his chest feel hot, and the out-of-control beast in his memory was instantly washed away, leaving only the thin figure of the girl huddled in the cave with her knees hugged - she actually gave herself a name.
When Ethan saw Anita wrapped in three layers of animal skins and still shivering with cold, and still trying to climb the nearly vertical ice steps, a violent fire rose in his chest.
He glanced at Luca, who was walking in front of him. He was fiddling with the animal tooth pendant on his waist with his head down, and he didn't notice that the girl's fingertips were turning pale from gripping the ice.
If he wasn't afraid of scaring Anrita, he would have picked up the stupid man with his claws and thrown him out.
The giant eagle suddenly folded its wings and dived down. Luca only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and the hurricane-like airflow swept him backwards.
Amidst the other party's exclamations, Ethan landed steadily beside Anrita, his wings covering her like a curtain, and then with a slight flap, he rolled her onto his broad back.
"Ethan, you're finally back."
Anita's fingertips brushed the feathers on his neck, and the warm touch made Ethan moan in his throat.
The Cody she mentioned was running out from the depths of the cave at this moment, but was stopped by a black shadow when he was two steps away - it was a man with green eyes and black hair, exuding a cold aura that did not belong to the Snowfield Tribe.
"Who are you?"
Ethan's pupils shrank slightly. This angular face reminded him of the predator in the legend of the sea people.
Cody instantly tensed his spine, his fingertips pressing on the bone knife at his waist: "Knox! How dare you appear in front of the Saint?"
Seeing this, Anrita quickly opened her arms to block Knox, with a suspicious blush on the tips of her ears: "Don't be like this, he is... my partner now."
This sentence made the two men's eyes widen at the same time, and Cody's expression changed from shock to pain, as if he was punched in the chest.
Ethan quickly suppressed his hostility and lowered his head to rub the top of Anritsu's head: "I... I am Ethan."
He mumbled his new name, "Will you let me stay with you?"
Just as Anita was about to speak, she heard a low moan coming from the cave.
Hudson was still unconscious on the animal skin rug. There was an unhealed blood scab on the brow of this Snow Owl Tribe's first warrior, and his handsome face looked particularly pale in the firelight.
The Snow Owl warriors standing by immediately knelt on one knee with red ears when they saw Anrita.
They had seen this saint from the main star in the live broadcast of the Tree of Life, and now she was more approachable in person than in the video.
"I'll help him out."
Just as Anrita was about to approach the bed, Cody suddenly blocked her way.
The boy's ears turned red as he stammered, "I, I'll protect you!"
Anrita raised an eyebrow at the boy who suddenly became awkward, and noticed that his palms holding the bone knife were full of cold sweat.
Outside the cave, the wind and snow howled, and the faint light of the Tree of Life shone through the ice window, casting mottled light and shadows on the faces of the nervous males.
She gently touched her belly, where she could feel faint fetal movements - it was time to leave this place as soon as possible, her babies needed the warm sunshine.
