Huanhuan said, “We’ll have two people in a team. Shuang Yun and Xue Ling will be in charge of clearing the dishes tonight.”

Shuang Yun had no objections to her arrangement, but he couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you arrange for me to do things with this bird person?”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Because you two ate the most tonight.”

Shuang Yun was speechless.

He couldn’t argue with that reason.

Xue Ling leaned against the wall, his red robe billowing like fire. The corners of his mouth curled up, and there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes. “Huanhuan, do I look like I know how to do housework?”

Huanhuan looked him up and down. “No, you don’t look like you do.”

Then, she took an apron made of cotton from her space. She put it on Xue Ling and looked him over again. She nodded.

“Now you do.”

Xue Ling tugged at his apron. “What is this? It’s ugly.”

Huanhuan said, “This is called an apron. It can protect your clothes from the dirty oil. I made it myself. If you don’t like it, you can choose not to wear it.”

As soon as he heard that she had made it herself, Xue Ling immediately stopped pulling off his apron and touched it with his palm. He smiled and said, “It’s quite cute. I like it.”

......

“Didn’t you just despise it for being ugly?”

“Oh? Did I say that? You must have remembered wrongly,” Xue Ling lied seriously.

Huanhuan was speechless.

Shuang Yun leaned over. “I want the apron you made too.”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I gave him an apron so that he wouldn’t dirty his feathers. You only have a hide skirt on you. It doesn’t matter if you dirty it. Anyway, there are still many hide skirts for you to change into.”

Shuang Yun was very unhappy. “No number of animal hide skirts can compare to the apron you made yourself. You can’t favor one over the other!”

Huanhuan had no choice but to take out another apron for him.

Shuang Yun immediately put on the apron and showed off proudly. “Don’t I look handsome in an apron?”

Huanhuan silently held her forehead.

The apron for Shuang Yun was originally for her to wear, so it was shorter. There was a small strip of lace sewn around the edge of the apron, making it look especially cute.

Shuang Yun was naked except for an animal hide skirt around his waist. Now, he was wearing an apron over it. It made him look like a pervert with a special hobby.

Shuang Yun didn’t think he was perverted at all. He even chased after Huanhuan and asked.

“Am I handsome? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Huanhuan replied against her conscience, “You’re very handsome. It suits you.”

Shuang Yun was even happier.

…

Tonight, Huanhuan would sleep with Bai Di.

She snuggled into his arms and whispered, “How long before we know if I’m pregnant?”

Bai Di said, “I’ll pick some purple leaves tomorrow. Smell them every day. If you’re pregnant, there’ll be a reaction.”

“Mmhm.”

Bai Di’s arms were warm. Huanhuan involuntarily closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

In her daze, she felt the person beside her move.

She hugged his arm and muttered, “Don’t move. Go to sleep.”

Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of the little female in his arms. She hugged her arms tightly and pressed her face to his chest, her pink lips pouting.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and Sang Ye walked in.

He looked at Huanhuan, who was sleeping soundly, and lowered his voice. “There’s movement at the foot of the mountain. It looks like someone wants to break in.”

Bai Di lowered his voice as well. “Stay here and take care of Huanhuan. I’ll go outside and see what’s going on.”

“Mmhm.”

Bai Di carefully removed Huanhuan’s hand, put on his clothes, and walked out silently.

Sang Ye walked to the bed and gently touched Huanhuan’s hair.

Huanhuan hugged his wrist.

Sang Ye was slightly stunned. “Huanhuan…”

Huanhuan rubbed against the back of his hand and muttered with her eyes closed, “Why are your hands so cold? Come here. I’ll warm you up.”

Sang Ye lay down beside her and hugged her along with the blanket.

Huanhuan rubbed against his chest. She vaguely felt that the aura seemed different.

But it was still reassuring.

Bai Di walked out the door and found Shuang Yun and Xue Ling coming out.

The three of them looked at each other without speaking, but they all understood that they had been woken by the commotion outside the mountain.

They went down the mountain.

The creepers outside the mountain were growing crazily. The vines danced in the night and kept making whistling sounds as they whizzed through the air.

As he dodged the vines’ attacks, Miu Wei complained in his heart.

He wanted to investigate the situation inside the rock mountain when night fell. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached the rock mountain, he was suddenly wrapped in vines!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and tore off the creeper vines in time to avoid being strangled to death.

The creeper vines’ abnormality alarmed the patrol team.

Soon, a wolf rushed over and questioned sternly, “Who are you?!”

As soon as Miu Wei saw that someone was here, he knew that he would definitely not be able to sneak into the rock mountain tonight.

He turned and retreated decisively, quickly disappearing into the night.

Having lost its target, the creepers quickly calmed down.

When Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling arrived at the foot of the mountain, all they could see were leaves and some torn vines.

The patrol team was searching the area. They saw the patriarch and immediately went to him.

“Patriarch Shuang Yun, someone just tried to break into the rock mountain but was stopped by the creeper vines.”

Shuang Yun asked, “Where is he?”

“That man is very skilled. He ran before we could attack.”

“We’re too late.” Shuang Yun frowned. “Go around and look again. See if the man left any clues.”

“Alright!”

The patrol team quickly dispersed and went around to look for clues.

However, they found nothing.

Shuang Yun said, “The other party can come and go as he pleases despite being the attacks of the creeper vines. His strength is definitely not low. At the very least, he should be a soul beast that has awakened its beast soul.”

Bai Di continued his analysis. “In the entire Rock Wolf Tribe, only the four of us have awakened our beast souls. Other than the four of us, there are only the few people in the oracle temple.”

Xue Ling smiled faintly. “Other than them, no one else would dare to come to the rock mountain at night.”

Shuang Yun said, “I’ll go first and bring someone to check who went out tonight.”

“Don’t go,” Bai Di called after him. “They’re in this together. They’ll cover for each other. You’ll never find out.”

Xue Ling continued, “Even if you find out, there’s nothing you can do about them. They’re oracles sent by the temple. If we lay a hand on them, the temple will definitely not let us off.”

Shuang Yun scratched his short silver-white hair and said irritably, “The temple is indeed troublesome!”

All they could do now was strengthen their defenses and not let the other party succeed.
