He Guang did not manage to catch up to Sang Ye and returned empty-handed.
After that, his relationship with the Rock Wolf Tribe fell to a freezing point.
Shuang Yun directly found He Guang. If he brought the beast soldiers away from the rock mountain, he could return the full rent.
He Guang frowned and said, “The demons are our enemies. It’s our duty to kill them. As the leader of a tribe, you should prioritize the overall situation. You shouldn’t be angry at this time.”
Shuang Yun said coldly, “I do hate the other demons, but Sang Ye is different. He’s our family! We were living very well together. If not for helping you destroy the white rock worms’ nest, he might not have had to leave the rock mountain for the rest of his life. Our family wouldn’t have to be separated because of this.”
!!
“But he’s a demon…”
Shuang Yun interrupted him. “So what?!”
Hearing this, He Guang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked suspicious. “From the looks of it, you knew that Sang Ye was a demon? Were you deliberately hiding a demon?”
Shuang Yun said without hesitation, “Whether he’s a demon or not, he’s still our family! You forced our family to be separated. It’s good enough that I didn’t beat you up. Hurry up and get lost with your beast soldiers!”
He Guang was a little angry at his tone.
However, thinking about their previous cooperation, he knew that the Rock Wolf Tribe was a good partner. He did not want to fall out with them completely.
He Guang tried his best to suppress his anger and said calmly, “You should be glad that I was the one who found Sang Ye here today and not the other beasts. Not to mention, if my two brothers find out that you might be hiding demons here, they’ll lead their troops to destroy your rock mountain without a word!”
Shuang Yun sneered. “You make it sound like our rock mountain is made of mud and you can push it down with a casual push. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!”
“Yes, I admit that your Rock Wolf Tribe is powerful. It’s not easy to take you down, but there are many ways to make you unable to survive here. If we casually set fire to the forest, you’ll be trapped in the mountains until you die.”
Shuang Yun said angrily, “How dare you?!”
“Don’t get angry. I’m just giving you an example. It only takes a day or two to burn down a forest, but it might take a century or two to grow a forest. I’m not so impulsive as to do such a thing.”
Hearing what He Guang said, Shuang Yun’s anger subsided a little.
He Guang continued, “I won’t pursue Sang Ye’s matter anymore. Don’t chase us away just because of this. Both sides will take a step back. After the snow melts and the weather warms up, I’ll immediately bring the beast soldiers out of the rock mountain, okay?”
Shuang Yun thought for a moment. “You can stay, but don’t hang around in front of us in the future, especially not in front of Huanhuan. She’s still sad about Sang Ye’s departure. Don’t make her cry again.”
“Sure, sure. I promise.”
After talking about business, Shuang Yun didn’t want to talk nonsense with him anymore. He turned to leave.
He Guang quickly said, “Go back and persuade Huanhuan not to cry anymore. It won’t be good if her eyes hurt from crying. There are so many male beasts in the world. Even if Sang Ye is gone, there are still many other outstanding male beasts for her to choose from. Have her get over it!”
Shuang Yun glanced at him and sneered. “I know what you’re thinking, but I advise you to give up. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the fact that you forced Sang Ye away makes it impossible for Huanhuan to forgive you, let alone accept you.”
He Guang smiled bitterly. “That was my duty. I had no choice.”
Shuang Yun ignored him and walked away without looking back.
In the following period, He Guang fulfilled his promise and restricted the beast soldiers. He tried not to let them show their faces to the beasts of the Rock Wolf Tribe. Especially when they were facing Huanhuan’s family, they would take a detour so that they wouldn’t see them.
As long as Huanhuan was free, she would use s.p.a.ce to communicate with Sang Ye.
Sang Ye said that he planned to go to Dark Moon City and bury his mother’s ashes in his father’s grave.
Huanhuan was worried that he would get sick from the snow on his way there. She advised him to find a place to rest and go to Dark Moon City after the snow melted.
Sang Ye said that it was fine.
He would slowly make his way over and stop when he encountered a snowstorm. When the snowstorm eased, he would continue on his way…
Today, he saw a frozen flower on the way. He carefully picked it up and placed it in the s.p.a.ce.
Huanhuan took the flower out of the s.p.a.ce.
The bright red petals were completely frozen by the ice. They still looked beautiful.
But the temperature in the room was higher, and the ice quickly melted.
The flower quickly withered.
Huanhuan felt very regretful.
She dried the petals and preserved them. She then glued them to a sheepskin book.
Later on, Sang Ye gave her many small things one after another. Most of them were frozen flowers and fruits, but there was also a frozen white b.u.t.terfly.
After he got into the habit, he would give her a souvenir from the local area almost every time he went to a new place.
Huanhuan preserved all these small things and stuck them in the sheepskin book.
If she had Sang Ye’s children in the future, this sheepskin book would be a gift for them.
Time pa.s.sed. The wind and snow came and went. After a dozen times, the atmosphere finally warmed up.
The snow had melted. Spring was coming again.
The beasts walked out of the cave one after another. The carnivores went to the forest to hunt and replenish their food. The vegetarian beasts went to the vegetable fields and orchards to clean up the vegetables and fruit trees.
The chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep were also released. They ran around the mountain.
He Guang bade farewell to Shuang Yun. “We should go.”
Shuang Yun couldn’t wait for them to leave. He said on the spot, “Goodbye!”
He Guang looked at him helplessly. “Even if we leave, the Black River isn’t far from the rock mountain. We’re neighbors, after all. Can’t you be more polite?”
“When you forced Sang Ye away, why didn’t you show any courtesy?”
“These are two different things.”
“To us, it’s the same thing!”
“Forget it, I won’t bicker with you over this. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” He Guang waved his hand. “I’m leaving. I’ll treat you to a meal when I have the chance.”
Shortly after He Guang left, Mayne returned with his caravan.
He had come from the City of 10,000 Beasts this time and brought a very important piece of news.
“After the destruction of the Divine Wood City, the prophet of the City of 10,000 Beasts and the Elders’ a.s.sociation have decided to choose a beast city from the low-level beast cities and promote it to a new medium-level beast city. At that time, one of the six low-level beast cities will be empty. They’re prepared to choose a powerful tribe from the various large tribes and give them the right to build a beast city!”
