Chapter 158 Su Yuyao Safely Returns to the Wolf Clan
Su Yuyao led the wolf pack back to the snow-capped mountains.
As soon as we stepped into the snow-capped mountain area, we heard a familiar wolf howl!
"Awooo—!"
"Ruixue! Ruixue!" Su Yuyao shouted excitedly, "I'm back!"
"Miss Ningbao! You...you..." Ruixue looked at Su Yuyao on the back of the shadow in shock, "What happened to your eyes?!"
“Ruixue…” Su Yuyao stretched out her hand into the air, pouting as she said, “I…can’t see…”
Ruixue frowned, gritted her teeth, and lifted Su Yuyao off the shadow's back, choking back tears as she said, "Let's go home first, and then we'll talk slowly."
Su Yuyao nodded vigorously, fighting back tears, "I want to go home!"
Ruixue carried Su Yuyao horizontally in her arms, put her on the sled, and wrapped her tightly in several animal skin blankets before raising her head to say to Yingzi, "The blizzard is about to close the mountain! We don't have time to rest, so you guys have to work hard!"
Shadow and Sandstorm nodded, rearranged their formation into a V-shape, protecting Su Yuyao's sled in the middle, and headed towards Chengma Peak against the wind and snow.
Su Yuyao is too tired!
She proceeded cautiously, mustering all her strength to lead the wolf tribe safely back to the snow mountain.
The Mother Goddess didn't lie to me; she really did send people to protect me. Otherwise, given my condition and the number of people I was with, how could I have returned so smoothly...?
The cold wind blew across her face, caressing her empty eyes, but it couldn't freeze her tears. Snowflakes landed on her cheeks, instantly melting into droplets, paving the way for her tears.
"Ruixue, I've finally brought them back safely..."
Su Yuyao's tears flowed even more uncontrollably. She buried her head in the animal skin blanket, silently releasing her fear.
Ruixue sensed Su Yuyao's emotions, put her arm around Su Yuyao's shoulder tightly, and whispered, "Ningbao, don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"
"Um……"
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the wind grew stronger and stronger. The gale-force winds swept the snowflakes, completely obscuring the sky.
Ruixue used her experience to discern the direction and led the wolf pack forward with difficulty.
Su Yuyao slept peacefully in Ruixue's arms, finally able to get a good night's sleep!
After an unknown amount of time, the wolf pack finally slowed down, and the surrounding firelight gradually increased, gathering little by little at the back of the pack until it reached the entrance of Guangyu Hanyao's cave.
"Condensing Treasure!"
"Miss!"
Mrs. Sa, accompanied by Bai Er, quickly came out to greet them.
Ruixue stopped the sled, looked down at Su Yuyao who was fast asleep in her arms, and called softly, "Ningbao, we're home!"
"Hmm?" Su Yuyao slowly turned her head, stretched her arms and legs, and then slowly opened her eyes, which were still in darkness.
"Are we home?" Su Yuyao asked with empty eyes.
"Ningbao..." Madam Sa stroked Su Yuyao's head, then suddenly noticed something was wrong with Su Yuyao's eyes and asked in surprise, "Ningbao! What's wrong with your eyes?! Huh?"
"Miss?! What's wrong?!" Bai Er asked, seeing Su Yuyao's dazed eyes. "What happened?!"
"Let's go inside and talk!" Ruixue, carrying Su Yuyao, struggled to her feet and limped towards the cave...
Su Yuyao slept recklessly for several days before slowly recovering.
She lay on her back on the bed, rubbing her belly, stretching her toes, and said with a smile, "Bai Er, are you still angry?"
Bai Er sat on the edge of the bed, massaging Su Yuyao's swollen calves, and muttered angrily, "Miss! I think you're unnecessary! Lord Xuanfeng went too far! He actually... Humph! Mother Yi went too far too! She actually..."
"Alright! I'm perfectly fine!" Su Yuyao said with a smile.
"How come you're all better now?! You were..." Bai Er said, tears welling up in her eyes again.
"I'm just temporarily blind! Uncle Qimen checked for me, it's nothing!" Su Yuyao said, feigning ease. "How's Weiming? Has he grown a lot? Has he missed me?"
“Weiming has grown so chubby!” Bai Er’s face brightened at the mention of Weiming. “Madam’s milk is so good. Weiming takes a nap after every meal, how could he not be chubby! And he loves snow! Every time he wakes up, he insists on going out to see the snow. When I put snow in his hands, he doesn’t mind the cold and just laughs!”
"Really?" Su Yuyao rolled over, sat up, touched Bai Er's hand, and said, "Go and bring Wei Ming here, let me see him!"
"Miss, you should rest a bit more! Madam Sa specifically instructed that Wei Ming not to disturb your rest!" Bai Er said tenderly, massaging Su Yuyao's legs and feet. "Look! Your feet are covered in calluses!"
"Oh dear! I've been resting for days!" Su Yuyao groped her way off the bed. "Besides, just because I can't see doesn't mean I can't do anything!"
She released her aura, surveying her room: my bed, my desk, my stool, and Bai Er's side couch...
"Huh? What's this?"
She discovered something she had never seen before!
She groped her way to the side couch next to Bai Er. Beside the couch was a small rectangular box. She touched it and asked in surprise, "This is... a small bed?"
"Yes!" Bai Er said with a smile, "It's made for the baby in your belly!"
"Why isn't it for Weiming? I don't need it right now!"
“Wei Ming also has some!” Bai Er said with a smile, supporting Su Yuyao. “A few days ago, a few cranes came and brought some fine cloth and some high-quality wood! My wife and I used the cloth to make a few covers, and we also used some down from their bellies to make small quilts and mattresses! Rui Xue and her people made two small beds out of wood!”
"A crane? Who sent it?" Su Yuyao asked in confusion.
"It was delivered by several heavenly soldiers!"
Heavenly soldiers? It seems that Mother Goddess Yi really has been protecting us all along.
Su Yuyao carefully touched the small mattress on the bed, "It's so soft!"
"Ningbao!" Ruixue burst in, holding a roasted lamb leg. "Here! The lamb leg is ready!"
"It smells so good! Give it to me!"
Just as Su Yuyao reached out her hand, Ruixue stuffed a piece of fragrant and greasy mutton into her mouth.
"Mmm! So delicious!" Su Yuyao wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth with her hand. "It smells so good! I can tell it was made by my mother as soon as I taste it!"
Ruixue smiled and looked at Su Yuyao, "Eat slowly! There's still plenty left!"
Bai Er stared blankly at Rui Xue, and discovered a light in Rui Xue's eyes that she had never seen before! This light was resolute, boundless, inclusive, and full of power!
Bai Er felt a little lonely, but she didn't resent it. She sighed softly, smiled, and took Su Yuyao's arm, "Miss, sit down and eat slowly!"
Su Yuyao held Bai Er's hand and said, "Then let's all sit down and let Ruixue feed us!"
"Huh?! No need..." Bai Er said awkwardly.
Ruixue then noticed Bai Er's evasive gaze and disappointed expression.
He looked at the leg of lamb in his hand, carefully tore off a thin strip of lean meat, and held it to Bai'er's mouth, saying with a smile, "Bai'er, open your mouth!"
Bai Er looked at Rui Xue's slender fingers, then followed Rui Xue's strong arms to his broad chest, and finally looked at Rui Xue's sunny eyes.
She slightly opened her mouth and put the fingers holding the shredded meat into it.
"Make it bigger! This is too small!" Ruixue said with a smile.
Bai Er gently bit Rui Xue's finger, used the tip of her tongue to pick off the shredded meat from between Rui Xue's fingers, and then slowly sucked the shredded meat into her mouth and swallowed it directly!
Ruixue blushed as she looked at Bai'er. She was about the same age as Su Yuyao, but appeared delicate and pitiful. Ruixue's fingers couldn't help but stir Bai'er's smooth tongue, as if Bai'er wasn't teasing the tip of her tongue, but another part of her body...
Although Su Yuyao was blind, she still keenly sensed the strong reproductive desires around her!
Because she was blind, she wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she sat there with a clear conscience, finally experiencing the feeling of Yin Hao's unrestrained spying!
Ruixue was so aroused by Bai Er that he was stiff and at a loss. He held a lamb leg in one hand and had Bai Er's mouth on the other. He could not hide the urge that was already getting harder to suppress below his navel.
Bai Er slowly lowered her head and gently removed Rui Xue's hand. She stood up, took the lamb leg, and said with a flushed face, "I'll feed you, Miss. You... go ahead and do your work!"
Ruixue felt feverish all over and quickly covered her crotch before fleeing into the desert.
Su Yuyao smiled slightly, sensing Bai Er's restraint and Rui Xue's compromise.
Bai Er blushed, tore off a piece of mutton, and held it to Su Yuyao's lips. "Miss, what are you laughing at?"
Su Yuyao didn't eat the meat in Bai Er's hand, but instead asked with a smile, "Bai Er, do you know why I didn't bring Rui Xue with me when I went to the Heavenly Palace?"
Bai Er chuckled and said, "Ruixue's behavior is becoming more and more like a dog's. Miss must think he's becoming increasingly unreliable!"
Su Yuyao lowered her head and said softly, "Bai Er, although we are master and servant, I have never treated you as a maid. From the first day, I have always treated you as my own sister. I can also see that you are sincere to me and never pretend!"
"Miss..." Su Yuyao's words left Bai Er feeling uneasy.
"Bai Er," Su Yuyao raised her head, tears welling in her lifeless eyes, "I don't want to lose you as my sister, so I didn't let Ruixue come with me! Do you understand?"
Bai Er stood there, stunned, watching as tears slowly welled up in Su Yuyao's eyes. "Miss! I..."
“Bai Er, do you know how terrified I was on my way to the Heavenly Palace! How helpless I felt when I was imprisoned in the Female Mother's Palace! How fortunate I was to have led all the wolf clans out of the Heavenly Palace’s territory! My eyesight is failing, and my body is failing me. I pawned all my jewelry along the way before I finally made it back!” Su Yuyao said, choking back tears. “Do you know how much I regret it? If I had brought Rui Xue with me, although the outcome wouldn’t have changed, I would have been much more at ease!”
Bai Er stood frozen in place, looking at Su Yuyao whose face was covered in tears, "Miss... I was wrong..."
Su Yuyao shook her head. "You're not wrong! None of us are wrong! I just want you to know that Ruixue loves you! To me, he's like an older brother! And to him, I'm like family!"
"Miss!" Bai Er knelt down with a thud, crying, "It was my fault! It was my fault! I shouldn't have been jealous! I shouldn't have..."
Su Yuyao reached out and touched Bai Er's damp face. "Bai Er, do you remember when we secretly ran away from Binglun Palace?"
Bai Er nodded tearfully, "It was my fault for losing Miss! It was my fault! I will never lose Miss again!"
“Bai Er, the current Rui Xue is just like you back then!” Su Yuyao said softly.
"Huh?" Bai Er looked at the roasted lamb leg in his hand. "So, Rui Xue..."
"Although my blindness has nothing to do with him, he feels guilty, which is why he's always been so good to me and trying to make it up to me." Su Yuyao helped Bai Er up and said coquettishly, "Good Bai Er, just let Ruixue make it up to me!"
“Miss,” Bai Er said guiltily, tears streaming down her face, “I was so selfish! I…”
"White Ear, I have no family left, and now even Xuanfeng is gone. I only have my wolf brothers left..."
Su Yuyao smiled bitterly through her tears. "I don't even have Xuanfeng anymore. I never knew being alone could be so lonely..."
The wind and snow grew stronger, and the entrance to the cave was mostly covered by snow.
Su Yuyao, heavily pregnant, patrolled various areas daily via the underground corridor. The training ground to the north was definitely unusable. The snow slope to the east was usable, but the snow accumulation was too great and posed a safety hazard, so it was best to avoid it as well. The glacier to the south was frozen solid; while suitable for ice fishing, transportation would be a major problem in this weather.
After looking around, only the southwest side is somewhat usable, especially the four smaller peaks...
Wearing a bearskin cloak and a deer-skin hat, Su Yuyao rode on Ruixue's back, leading the wolf pack, standing in the wind and snow waiting for the return of Shadow and Sandstorm.
"Awooo—!" The sound of wolves howling came from afar.
"Woo—!" Ruixue raised her head in response.
Before long, the sandstorm, accompanied by its shadow, slowly emerged from the wind and snow.
"Miss Ningbao!" Shadow ran to Su Yuyao's side and said happily, "The road is clear! There's just a canyon in the middle, but with our abilities, we can easily jump over it!"
"That's great!" Su Yuyao looked at the dark, snowy landscape and asked, "How much time will this save?"
"A round trip will take at least a day!" Shadow said excitedly. "Sandstorm and I went to see what Lord Xuanfeng prepared. We've got work to do!"
Su Yuyao was still a little unaccustomed to hearing Xuan Feng's name. She paused for a moment and then asked, "Have you calculated how many people you need? How long will it take to transport them back?"
"Because there are canyons, it might not be safe to use sleds, so I decided to send people to carry them back. That way, each trip will involve more than fifty people, four round trips, and with the rest time, it will take about twenty days!"
"This is taking too long!" Su Yuyao shook her head and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier! It will be inconvenient for us to get in and out for the next three or four months! We'd better speed things up!"
"If too many people go each time, I'm afraid it might be dangerous!" Shadow hesitated. "If we use sleds... that canyon..."
“Canyon…” Su Yuyao thought for a moment and said, “Shadow, go and talk to Lord Xuanfeng and have him take charge of delivering the things to the canyon. We’ll send a sled to the canyon to retrieve them! This way, we can save a lot of time!”
“Yes!” the shadow replied.
"ghost!"
"Yes, Commander!" the ghost replied.
"You're in charge of gathering the sleds, the more the better! Have them meet up in the canyon!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"sandstorm!"
"Yes, Miss Yao'er!"
"You're in charge of security. Make sure all items are safely transported back!"
"Yes, Miss Yao'er!"
"Rat divination!"
"Present, Commander!"
"You are responsible for receiving items and keeping records and categorizing them!"
"yes!"
Su Yuyao stood in the blizzard, unaware that the sky had darkened and that her eyelashes were covered in frost.
She stretched her palms out into the air, feeling the biting cold wind and the icy snowflakes.
The smooth, oily palms slowly turned red, and a piercing pain emanated from the fingertips.
Ouch! The pain in her hand made her feel a little better, and she finally understood why Xuanfeng had withdrew his Qi when he was being tortured.
So this is the pain transfer method...
Su Yuyao smiled and withdrew her frozen hands.
But it's no use on heartache...
The blizzard that had lasted for days finally stopped, and the rare morning light shone on Su Yuyao's radiant face.
"Mother, is the sun out yet?" Su Yuyao asked softly, feeling the warmth of the sunlight.
Mrs. Sa looked at Su Yuyao's still listless eyes and stroked her face. "We're out! The snow has stopped! Ningbao, you were right! Today really is a beautiful sunny day!"
Su Yuyao groped her way in and snuggled into Madam Sa's arms. "Mother, please be careful! Come back soon!"
"Don't worry!" Mrs. Sa gently stroked Su Yuyao in her arms and said with heartache, "You should rest well and not overwork yourself!"
“Mother…” Su Yuyao said with a touch of sadness, “If he passes away… don’t tell him about the child.”
“Ningbao,” Mrs. Sa said, patting Su Yuyao’s back, “Do you really not want the child to recognize her father?”
Su Yuyao raised her head, her empty eyes meeting Madam Sa's face. "Mother, do you think I should let the child acknowledge this father?"
Looking into Su Yuyao's already dry eyes, Madam Sa held back her tears and said, "Mother understands. Don't worry, Mother won't tell him!"
After being adorned by wind and snow, the snow-capped mountain resembles a cold and proud princess, overlooking all things in the world.
This narrow and deep rift is a sharp sword that this stubborn princess holds in front of her. It is her protection of the snow mountain, and at the same time, it is a barrier that the snow mountain erects for her!
Mrs. Sa, dressed in a glossy black animal skin cloak, rode on the back of the fierce-looking Ruixue as they leaped across the canyon.
"Lord Xuanfeng!" Madam Sa walked up to Xuanfeng, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, "Thank you so much, Lord Xuanfeng, for preparing so many supplies for our Snow Mountain Wolf Clan! As a return gift, this... please accept it!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Sa presented a rather plain animal skin bag with both hands.
Xuanfeng lowered his body slightly, took the bracelet with both hands, and took out a string of white oval beads from the animal skin bag.
He looked at the rough stitching on the leather bag, then at the bracelet, and asked Mrs. Sa with a puzzled expression, "Mrs. Sa, what is this...?"
"Please accept this!" Madam Sa said with a smile. "This is a bone bracelet made from the skull of the first yak that Ningbao hunted. This leather bag was Ningbao's first time making handicrafts. Although it's not very pretty, it's one of a kind in the world!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng happily put the bone beads on his wrist, then neatly tucked the animal skin bag into his pocket. He gratefully clasped his hands together and bowed deeply, saying, "Madam Sa, thank you!"
