William laughed and shook his head. He glanced at the birdman beside him, and his tone faltered unpredictably as he said, "It's very expensive, but we have cheap herbs. I don't know if you're interested or not?"The birdman had always stood in the corner listening and sneered in his heart. He turned his head, and his special gaze stared at William for a moment before turning his eyes to the two bears. The birdman softly asked the young bear, "You've just come out of the werewolf tribe, so you know their leader's predecessor - Nick... Is he dead?"The young bear was taken aback and hesitantly said, "Probably not dead."Suddenly, William heard the birdman mentioning the gray wolf, and he remembered the high-ranking demon near the cave. His heart stopped for half a second, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Blue veins appeared on his arms, and his eyes showed both fear and anger. "So do you guys know where he is?" Birdman hesitated for a moment before asking again.The young bear scratch
Although she was married to him, it seemed that he had never called her his wife before, nor did he call her by her name. Was it because he didn't want to live with her, or was there a woman he once loved and didn't want to call anyone else "wife"?Jenny's heart suddenly felt empty. She wasn't feeling happy at all. She shook her head, thinking that she was overthinking things. Their survival was still too difficult for them now, and what they called each other didn't matter. They could sort it out later.Jenny's face looked a bit gloomy. She touched her ears for some reason and they became hot. She rarely had naive thoughts. Next time, she wouldn't call him "husband" anymore. Now that she knew the name of the gray wolf, she would just call him Nick.She originally wanted to catch the wolf's tail to relieve some unexplained sadness, but she didn't know where it came from. Her eyes fell on the slim waist of the gray wolf, and she remembered the wolf man who was now a figure person - the
The big hand, revealing its bones, rushed out into the icy cold air from under the animal skin blanket. The rough palm rubbed against the fur of the bed, not afraid of the cold, as it slowly approached the other side where Jenny, his little wife, lay.In the quiet cave, only the sound of Nick's heart beating faster and faster could be heard. Although some thoughts of touching her again lingered in his mind, he was only carefully touching her fur blanket in reality. He lifted her up quietly, bit by bit, touching her right hand. The slightly cold fingertips touched the soft hand of his little wife, and the warm feeling was transmitted, causing his pointed ears to tremble slightly.However, he quickly noticed that her body temperature was abnormally low. The feeling of joy and shyness, like a spreading weed, quickly quieted down. Nick wondered why she was so cold. Was she sick? Was it because of his magic energy that she was sick?Filled with anxiety, Nick parted his thin lips, calling h
Jenny's head was still aching and dizzy, and her ears and face felt hot. She quickly let go of the arm holding the gray wolf and instinctively rolled to the side, pressing on the wolf's tail. She realized that she had had a dream about a gray wolf and woke up to find herself sleeping under the same animal skin blanket as him. Was this too stimulating?Jenny blinked her eyelids and lifted her arms, which felt weak, to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She bit her lip, and the cold sweat all over her body seemed to heat up a bit.After a moment, she reassured herself that nothing had happened. She and the wolf were still wearing decent clothes and, apart from being slightly askew, there were no other signs of any physical contact. She sighed in relief and tried to collect her thoughts.Suddenly, the image of last night's bloody Nick flashed in her mind. She touched her forehead, which was still a little hot, and then sighed comfortably. Perhaps it was because she was too cold
POV: The time has been reversed to more than half a day ago from Birdman's perspective.After bidding farewell to two foolish bears in the jungle, the Birdman struggled to flap his wings in the hail, with one wing protecting the leather bag. He flew for a while and fortunately stumbled upon an overhanging cliff where he landed to take shelter from the midnight rain. Now, he is an adult bird from the Joke tribe and his name is Minee. He waited under the cliff until the hail transformed into rain and snowflakes before continuing to flap his wings and fly outside of the jungle. Despite flying for four or five consecutive days, he was extremely tired.Due to the great distance, news of the gray wolf's disappearance took a long time to reach Minee. More than ten days had passed from when Nick went missing to when Minee discovered the news. Upon hearing the news from William's place, Minee lost a bit of hope.Minee flew all the way here, carefully choosing a safe and quiet route, yet he sti
The old bear looked at the young bear with a serious expression. The young bear frowned, trying hard to take a breath of cold air, confirming that he had not mistakenly smelled it. There was indeed a strong smell of willow in the air. The young bear nodded and said, "Be careful, it's probably very dangerous."After hearing the young bear's warning, the old bear became alert, carefully observing the surroundings. Despite the snowflakes and rain falling, they did not find any suspicious monsters."Is it an illusion?" asked the young bear when the smell of the willow tree in the air gradually dissipated. He trembled with the semicircular ears on his head, a little skeptical that he had smelled the willow just now."Never mind. We should still quickly collect firewood and get out of the rain, it's too cold," said the old bear, feeling uneasy in the dark after sensing no danger.The young bear hesitated a bit, then lifted his foot and took a half step forward. That's when they heard a gentl
At this moment, Jenny did not know that danger was approaching in the jungle not far from them. Her head was still dizzy, but her fever had subsided a little, and she had spent the night sleeping next to Nick. Feeling embarrassed as bedtime approached, she sat on a stone bench near the stone stove, holding a bone needle for embroidery and needlework.Nick sat beside the stone table, his jet-black lashes drooping, his spine straight, but unsure of what to do. The warm light from the fire-strewn "master bedroom '' fell on his cheeks, softening his ferocious, ghastly scars, making Jenny's husband - gray wolf even more handsome.The two had maintained this posture all morning, ever since Minee had left for the day. One person and one wolf had always maintained a very polite attitude towards each other.They ate breakfast in silence, sitting apart from each other before going their separate ways to rest. Thinking about what Nick had said in the morning, Jenny's hand holding the needle stop
The two stood facing each other, neither saying a word. How do they speak when meeting again in such an ironic situation? Jenny saw the wolf man's pointed ears tremble with joy and even noticed his handsome cheeks turning slightly red. The corner of his lips curved slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual stoic expression and coldly replied, "Yes."Jenny felt her heart beating faster. She wondered if she had misunderstood the wolf man. Perhaps he didn't mind her calling him husband, but why didn't he call her his wife? She noticed that the ears on the wolf's head were trembling non-stop, seemingly reflecting the confusion and insecurity of its owner.Jenny hesitated for a moment, then asked if she could help apply the medicine. Nick, the wolf man, lowered his eyelashes and declined her offer, thinking of his ugly stump and messy black hair hanging over his ears. But Jenny didn't give up. She knew he liked it when she called him husband, so she asked again with a gentle tone, "Ca
After four long years studying in the United States, she has returned to London - her beloved hometown. It has been a while since she last set foot in this place, and she fondly remembers the crisp autumn air, with golden leaves scattered along the streets, creating a beautiful scenery.Her name is Hannie Martinez, the only daughter of a renowned British fashion conglomerate. At the age of 18, Hannie was sent by her parents to study at a prestigious university in the United States. She graduated with a degree in fashion and has now come back to London to work for her family's company.After returning to London for two days, Hannie Martinez organized a gathering with her close friends in London. According to their discussion, the meeting spot was the largest bar in London. To celebrate her return, everyone raised their glasses and toasted to her success, continuously going from one drink to another, praising her endlessly. Her friends couldn't help but compliment her."Hannie Martinez
The special pale blue light illuminated the living room, further illuminating the old mage's patterned face.The wooden staff in his hand was carved with the image of a wolf's head, the old magician was sitting and chopping firewood to warm himself, seeing John come in, his hand wrinkled, trembling, his voice also urgent, "What's wrong?""Is that person dead?" Mage said.John heard the old wizard's words, his face was serious, and he shook his head."Not die?" The old mage's voice sounded, the old mage couldn't believe it, "Really not dead?"John hesitated a little and said: "I don't dare to go too close to Nick's cave, I just turned into a wolf, outside the cave, smell it carefully, I really don't smell human blood, I'm sure Jenny hasn't died yet...."The old magician heard John's words, got a little angry, scolded: "You were so cowardly, before you were afraid of Nick, now he is both blind and disabled, perhaps dying, you do not dare to go near his cave, it really pisses me off." J
The old woman extended a willow branch to support her and spoke with a tone filled with surprise and relief, accompanied by a faint sigh, "Alright, I'll take the risk."Beads of sweat formed on Jenny's forehead. She mustered her strength to sit up halfway, her voice slightly hoarse as she asked, "... Vivian, is there a place where we can gather a large number of spirit stones?"Both her cultivation and the gray wolf's recovery required a significant amount of spirit stones.Old lady Vivian used a willow branch to support Jenny Martinez. She looked at Jenny's pale face and spoke softly, "I know a place, quite a distance from here, near the Dirk tribe."Old lady Vivian smiled, "We can talk about these things later, dear. You've exerted a lot of energy just now. Let me take you back to our home first, rest a little, and then we can bring you to your cave.""I..." Jenny instinctively wanted to refuse old lady Vivian, even though she had not been away from home for long, she felt that now
He absorbed the spirit stone quickly, and there were no demonic scales on his body. His condition gradually improved.Unlike old man Kay, she possessed a special ability. Now she finally understood the reason behind Nick's prolonged illness and the source of the magical energy within his body.Knowing the path to take was undoubtedly a cause for joy.The cold wind and snow whipped against Jenny and the elderly woman, Vivian, hitting their faces.Jenny felt an unusual warmth in her ears, but she refrained from touching them. She stood upright in front of Vivian, her back slightly bent, her eyes unwavering.She faced a formidable demon resembling a monstrous green willow, who had traversed a dark path, and declared once again, "I will not abandon Nick."Vivian's eyes narrowed slightly. Despite her elderly appearance, her light brown eyes remained beautiful and clear.The gentle old woman regarded the human standing before her, seemingly fragile and vulnerable, so much so that she could
Old Kay's voice was very soft, and drops of blood trickled down her handsome face from the old woman Vivian's fangs.Jenny noticed that the perfect half of old woman Vivian's face was filled with pain. The old woman seemed to be slightly conscious but not fully awake.On the rough and concave arm, there emanated a fragrance that, to the old woman, was no different from temptation.Saliva dripped from her fangs, and Jenny silently watched as they maintained a tug-of-war position.However, in the end, old woman Vivian could not resist the temptation of flesh and blood. She fiercely bit old Kay's arm.As fresh blood flowed down, Jenny saw the old woman, with the shape of a willow tree, gradually regain her senses, tears streaming down her face.Throughout the ordeal, old Kay did not utter a cry of pain or resentment. It was evident that they were both suffering.Jenny's throat was dry, and her heart was filled with fear.Is this the state of demonization that old woman Vivian spoke of?W
Confirmation that Mr. Kay's family is still fine brings peace of mind to Jenny.Furthermore, the family's livelihood has always been challenging, so having such a powerful creature like Vivian to protect them is considered a good thing. At least for this winter, they don't have to struggle too much.Jenny's eyes softened as she stood up to bid farewell. She still needed to venture into the dense forest to see if she could go hunting and gather some vines, making good use of her time.Andrew, holding a bone stick, wanted to accompany her. "Sister Jenny, I want to pick some wild vegetables. Let's go together."Vivian held the hand of the little one, gently stroking his head. "Stay at home with Grandpa while Grandma goes with Jenny."The old lady spoke, casually picking up the stone ax that Mr. Kay had carried the day before, repairing the animal skin on her body, and finally stooping to kiss Mr. Kay's bewildered face before winking at Jenny. "Let's go.".......Exiting the cave, Vivian
Although luck has improved, there aren't many creatures with spirit stone embryos like this plump pigeon.The second trap had nothing , and the third trap showed signs but didn't catch any prey.Jenny felt around and only found one egg from the third trap.This egg was the same size as the one she had previously retrieved, but there was still no sign of life inside.Jenny felt quite sad because she used to often encounter small animals hopping around, but ever since she stayed with the wolf and found many eggs, none of them showed any signs of life.But today's harvest wasn't bad; these small spirit stone were enough to sustain the gray wolf for a while.She wiped the egg clean, put it in her backpack, set up the traps again, and added fresh bait. Jenny hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to head home.Nick remained in the same position, still lying as he was when she left, and the wound on his body showed no signs of worsening. The herbs on his crippled leg were still fresh
Young goblin bears led Minee to Roxie's location. Upon seeing Roxie's wounded mouth, the young goblin bears burst into tears."Sob sob. Roxie, are you in pain?"Minee couldn't bear to see the goblin bears piled up with almost immovable wounds, so she gave them all the herbs she had gathered along the way.Minee asked the oldest-looking and most conscious goblin bear among them, "Does your tribe not have any healers?"The goblin bears shook their heads. "No, in our tribe, we have an elder brother, but he went to exchange herbs and hasn't returned yet."Old bear Robin and young bear Eric went to the wolf tribe to exchange herbs but couldn't do so. They were planning to go to the Well tribe.Those two bears haven't returned yet, has William deceived them into going to the Well tribe?Minee felt a bit worried. He touched his nose and looked at the severely injured goblin bears, thinking back to the herbs he had given to Nick before sighing.Winter herbs were very precious, so he only had t
Despite her composed and somewhat innocent appearance, Jenny's intention to stroke the gray wolf's fur seemed to carry a deeper meaning.Having been busy all day, Jenny was exhausted. After a brief hesitation, she decided to sleep in her clothes.As she looked at the handsome wolf under the flickering firelight, dressed in vibrant red clothing, it created an illusion that tonight was their wedding night.Perhaps the quality of the firewood brought by the gray wolf last time was exceptional, as Jenny lay on the bed covered with a thin fur blanket but still felt slightly warm.After she settled down, a gentle breeze could be heard by her side, albeit from a distance, but she still sensed the presence of the gray wolf.In the serene cave, her whole body ached, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the wolf to fall asleep.Similarly, the gray wolf was also waiting for his little wife to sleep, so he only half-closed his eyes, silently perceiving Jenny's breathing.They waited together like
