Huanhuan said slowly, “This isn’t the time to talk about such things. We’ll discuss things between us after we resolve the crisis brought about by the dead blood disease. Is that okay?”

Xue Ling lifted her chin. “You’re always testing my patience.”

“Becoming mates is no small matter. Of course, I have to be careful about it.”

Xue Ling didn’t want to push her too hard. He smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait. You’ll be mine sooner or later anyway.”

Huanhuan couldn’t bear to see him so determined. She couldn’t help but mutter softly, “That might not be the case…”

“What did you say?”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Huh? Did I say anything? I didn’t say anything. You must have heard wrongly.”

Xue Ling tapped the tip of her nose. “Naughty little woman.”

Huanhuan put the stone slabs and potion into the space. If they wanted to use the beast patterns, they just had to take the stone slabs and the potion out of the space. It was very convenient.

That night, Huanhuan slept with Bai Di.

Before dawn the next day, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling quietly left home.

They led a hundred male wolves down the mountain.

Xue Ling spread his wings and flew into the sky.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and the others transformed into their beast forms and headed for the forest.

When they passed by the temporary residence, they were stopped by Miu Wei and 10 guards.

Miu Wei gave them a friendly smile. “I know you’re going to the forest to clear the patients suffering from dead blood disease. It’s a very important matter. Can we go with you?”

Neither Bai Di nor Shuang Yun said anything.

Miu Wei continued, “Although there are only 11 of us and we’re very weak, it’s every beast’s duty to eliminate the dead blood disease. We’re willing to contribute our strength. Patriarch Shuang Yun, I hope you can fulfill our wish.”

Shuang Yun pondered for a moment. “Alright, come with me if you want.”

Miu Wei was very happy. “Thank you for your permission, Patriarch Shuang Yun.”

Hence, 11 more snake beasts entered the forest.

Not long after they left, Huai Shan walked out of the divine embassy.

He didn’t let the guards follow him. Instead, he passed through the temporary residence alone and arrived near the cave where the koalas were imprisoned.

There were two male wolves guarding the entrance.

Huai Shan realized that he could not approach the cave, so he could only turn around and leave. However, he did not go far. Instead, he found a hidden place nearby to hide.

The sky quickly brightened. A thin antelope beast carried breakfast and water toward the cave.

Huai Shan knew that the antelope beast was there to deliver food to the koalas. He immediately walked over and pretended to be in a hurry. As he lowered his head to look for something, he bumped into the antelope beast.

The antelope beast took a step back. He was about to curse when he saw that the other party was actually the esteemed divine envoy. He quickly restrained his anger and bowed respectfully. “Divine Envoy.”

Huai Shan said, “I lost a black crystal. It should be nearby. Help me look for it.”

The antelope beast did not suspect anything. He quickly put down the wooden bucket containing food and water and began to help find traces of crystals.

When he wasn’t looking, Huai Shan stirred a bloodstained wooden stick in the water.

After a while, Huai Shan pretended to pick up a crystal from the ground and said in surprise, “I found it. So it’s here!”

It was the first time the antelope beast saw crystals. His eyes were fixed on the black crystal.

Huai Shan put away the black crystal and casually gave him a colorless crystal. “Although you didn’t help me find the crystal, I’m still very grateful that you were willing to help. This is a thank-you gift.”

The antelope beast took the colorless crystal with both hands and kept thanking him.

Huai Shan said, “Alright, go get busy.”

The antelope beast carefully put away the colorless crystal and walked toward the cave with the wooden bucket.

Huai Shan stood in the shadows under the tree and saw the koalas eat all the food and water.

His lips curled into an extremely sinister smile.

‘Shuang Yun, who asked you to provoke me again and again? This time, I’ll teach you a lesson!’

Huai Shan turned to leave, but he heard a clear and pleasant voice above his head.

“What did you just add to the water?”

Huai Shan stiffened. He immediately looked up and saw Xue Hui sitting on a tree. Her honey-colored skin glowed under the sun like sweet honey.

Why was she here?!

Huai Shan was so shocked that his eyes widened. “What are you doing here?”

Xue Hui lifted a strand of hair and smiled. “I was sleeping here. I didn’t expect to see a good show.”

Huai Shan’s expression darkened, and his gaze was dark too. “You saw everything just now?”

“Uh-huh.” Xue Hui was not afraid that he would harm her. Her expression was quite calm. “If you’re talking about what you secretly added to the water just now, I did see it all.”

“What are you going to do? Turn me in?”

Instead of answering, Xue Hui asked, “Rather than reporting you, I’m more curious about what you just added to the water.”

“No comment.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll turn you in?”

“What good will it do you to report me? Besides, even if they know I did it, what can they do to me? I’m an envoy sent by the temple. No one can do anything to me except the temple.” Huai Shan raised his chin, looking very arrogant.

Xue Hui chuckled. “Young man, you’re too arrogant.”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

She smiled ambiguously, then lay down and closed her eyes. “Go,” she said lazily. “Don’t disturb my rest.”

Huai Shan was relieved that she had no intention of reporting him. At the same time, he felt that Xue Hui was actually interested in him. Otherwise, why would she be willing to cover for him?!

He softened his tone. “I’ll get someone to catch fish in the river later. Shall we have fish for lunch?”

But Xue Hui didn’t even look up. “I don’t eat meat.”

Huai Shan was rejected and could only leave resentfully.

When he was gone, Xue Hui opened her eyes again.

She glanced at the nearby cave.

To be honest, she despised Huai Shan’s inferior methods, but she didn’t intend to expose his tricks.

In any case, these were all grudges between the Rock Wolf Tribe and the Dark Moon Temple. It had nothing to do with her. She just had to quietly be a spectator.

As for whether Huai Shan would cause any trouble…

In any case, with the feather tribe around, no matter how big the disaster, it should be suppressed.

Not long after, the three imprisoned koala beasts suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

The two male wolves in charge of guarding quickly went to ask Dong Ya for help. Unexpectedly, just as they opened the cell door, the three koalas suddenly jumped up and attacked the male wolves and Dong Ya crazily!

Dong Ya’s eyes widened. “They’re infected with dead blood disease!” he cried in horror.
