Chapter 288: To You As A Man

Huanhuan felt warm and comfortable. She smiled and took out a pebble. “I picked this up in the water just now. It looks pretty good. I’ll give it to you.”

It was a red pebble. The texture was not as clear as red crystal, but the color was beautiful. There was a natural texture on the surface that looked like classical patterns.

Xue Ling took the pebble and touched the surface with his thumb twice. “Why are you giving it to me?”

“It’s the same color as your eyes. It’s as dazzling as dawn.”

Xue Ling felt happy from the praise. He clenched the stone. “On account of you fawning over me, I won’t argue with you about freezing me with ice just now.”

Huanhuan said, “If you dare to lie to me again, I won’t just use ice.”

“Then what else will you use?”

Huanhuan smiled. “You’ll see.”

Xue Ling felt that the little female had ill intentions when she said this.

He carefully put away the pebble, then picked up Huanhuan and spread his wings to fly back to the rock mountain.

They had just returned home when Shuang Yun caught them.

Shuang Yun was like a huge dog as he sniffed Huanhuan’s body. His eyes were filled with suspicion. “Huanhuan, why do you smell like Xue Ling? Did you secretly mate with him?”

Huanhuan thought that since she had taken a shower, her scent should have faded by a lot. She did not expect Shuang Yun to still be able to smell it.

This guy was indeed a canine. His nose was terrifyingly sensitive.

Embarrassed, she said, “We didn’t mate.”

“Then how did you get that smell?”

Huanhuan glanced at Xue Ling and saw that he was looking at her with a faint smile. He had no intention of helping explain.

He deliberately wanted to see her blush without knowing how to explain things.

Huanhuan didn’t want to answer, but Shuang Yun kept pestering her for an answer.

She had no choice but to say quickly in a very soft voice, “I stroked him with my hand.”

Shuang Yun’s hearing was no weaker than his sense of smell. Even though she lowered her voice, he still heard her clearly.

A very odd look came over his face. “So it was just masturbation. You guys didn’t go all the way?”

Huanhuan blushed at the question. “No.”

Shuang Yun looked at Xue Ling with admiration. “At this point, you can still resist devouring her. I have to respect you for being a man.”

Xue Ling was helpless. “If she doesn’t want to, I can’t force her, right?”

Huanhuan thought to herself, ‘You won’t force yourself on me, but you’ll lie to me.’

Bai Di walked in. “Where did you go with Huanhuan?” he asked Xue Ling. “I searched the entire tribe just now, but I couldn’t find you.”

Xue Ling took out the red pebble. “We went to the stream to play for a while. She gave this to me.”

Shuang Yun immediately shouted, “I want such stones too! Huanhuan, you can’t just give one to him!”

Huanhuan didn’t know how to deal with him. “I just happened to pick up that pebble. If you like it, I’ll bring pebbles back to you if I see beautiful ones again.”

Shuang Yun actually didn’t think that this pebble was beautiful at all, but it was something Huanhuan picked up, so the meaning was different!

No matter what it was, as long as it was from the little female, it had to be something good!

Bai Di glanced at the pebble, and his nervousness eased a little. “It hasn’t been peaceful outside recently. If you go out again, remember to bring more people with you in case anything happens.”

Huanhuan hugged his arm and said softly, “Xue Ling is very powerful. With him around, we’ll be safe.”

As she approached, Bai Di immediately smelled Xue Ling’s scent on her.

But it was very faint. It seemed that the two of them had only made out, but they had not gone to the last step.

…

It rained heavily for two days and one night.

After the rain, there were suddenly many animals in the forest. They knew that the lower reaches of the Black River had been occupied by beast soldiers, so they specially went to the upper reaches of the Black River to drink water.

Shuang Yun often hid in the bushes nearby with the wolf cubs and stared at the animals drinking water.

When their prey had let down their guard, he would suddenly attack!

The sudden appearance of five Silvery Frost White Wolves frightened the animals who were drinking water. They scattered.

One of them was unlucky enough to be caught by Big Goody while escaping. She bit its neck, and it became her biggest prey ever.

They returned with full hands again today.

After Big Goody tanned the animal hide, she gave it to her mother to make a coat.

Huanhuan sighed. “You’ve been bringing a lot back recently!”

Shuang Yun said, “The rainy season is coming. Many animals will migrate from the south to the north. The Black River is a necessary place for them to pass along the way. As long as we stay by the river, we can wait and catch a lot of prey.”

Huanhuan looked as if she understood.

Late at night, most of the beast soldiers in the camp by the Black River were asleep.

There was silence.

The beast soldiers in charge of patrolling were about to switch shifts with their companions when many ripples suddenly appeared on the river. Hundreds of demons climbed out of the water and pounced on the closest beast soldiers!

They bit and fought with each other as blood spurted into the air.

The quiet night instantly became an arena for the beasts.

Seeing this, the beast soldiers standing on high ground immediately let out sharp whistles!

However, before they could finish whistling, they were grabbed by the winged creatures that descended from the sky and thrown down. Their bodies broke into pieces.

Xuan Wei had already rushed out of the tent the moment the whistles sounded.

He saw countless demons climbing out of the river and surging toward the camp like a dark tide.

Xuan Wei transformed into a white tiger and let out a deafening roar!

The entire camp trembled at the roar.

He pounced at the spot where there were the most demons and tore apart all the demons who were attacking the beast soldiers!

The war had begun.

As the prince and commander, He Guang did not need to personally participate in the battle. He turned into a lion and stood on a huge rock at the back of the camp, looking down at the entire battlefield.

His golden-brown mane fluttered in the night wind. His emerald eyes were cold and rational, unique to those in power.

He asked, “Where’s Yi Wu?”

His trusted soldier immediately replied, “I’ve already sent someone to look for her.”

The demons’ late-night sneak attack came without warning and caught the beast soldiers off guard. They quickly took the initiative on the battlefield.

The fortifications built in the past few days were not very useful against the demons.

The demons gathered together and slammed into the seemingly sturdy fortifications!
