Chapter 221 Ignorance
"nothing."

Su Xiyue hurriedly looked away.

Seeing that his chest was almost healed, she withdrew the vines from her palm.

Ye Ling didn't care about the injury on his chest. He just took her hand and placed it on his heart. He swallowed hard and said in an unusually cautious voice, "Yue'er, as the saying goes, 'quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed.' It's inevitable for couples to have disagreements. Don't be angry with me, okay?"

Su Xiyue looked up at him. When had that proud and domineering man ever been so cautious?

This will only make me feel complicated.

However, she was still angry and a little embarrassed.

"not good!"

She turned her gaze away with a cold expression, but then heard her stomach rumble at an inopportune moment.

This is so incredibly awkward…

Xuanming couldn't help but laugh out loud, and turned to walk into the dark forest: "Wait here, I'm going to hunt down a Crimson Blood Deer. Its meat is the most tender and nourishing, making it the best choice for females after childbirth."

Despite his harsh and outspoken nature, he has the softest heart.

"And while you're at it, dig up a few old ginseng roots."

Qingzhu turned her head to look at Xuanming and added indifferently.

"Know it."

Xuanming waved his hand, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The sounds of insects chirping and complaining from the grass and trees beneath her feet drifted into Su Xiyue's ears on the wind: "Another one who doesn't know their place! Stepped on my newly grown mushrooms!"

She almost burst out laughing, but managed to hold it back.

"cold?"

Ye Ling suddenly pulled her closer to his arms, placing his burning hot palm on her lower back.

She then realized she was shivering; it was fine during the day, but she felt a bit cold at night.

Su Xiyue pushed Ye Ling away and said coldly, "Don't think that I'll forgive you just like that."

Ye Ling stumbled as she was pushed, but a smile appeared in her silver eyes. She gently hooked a strand of her hair with her fingertips and whispered, "Fine, I won't forgive you."

Mo Lin suddenly walked over and picked Su Xiyue up from behind, his cool voice carrying a gentle tone: "Let's find a cave to spend the night, it's windy here."

After saying that, he carried Su Xiyue and strode into the depths of the canyon, crushing several clumps of glowing firefly grass under his feet.

"Put me down!"

She struggled to get down.

Mo Lin looked down at her, but didn't force her; he gently put her down.

The moment my feet touched the ground, I heard the flowers and plants on the ground screaming pitifully, "Be gentle! My old back is going to break—"

Su Xiyue: “…”

Startled, she immediately pulled her foot back and stood on tiptoe, landing on a bare rock.

All I could hear was a cacophony of complaints.

"The soles of this female's feet are burning hot!"

“There is a warm, empty cave in the rock crevice on the north side.”

"There's something good in the black bear's lair behind there; I heard they've hidden honey there."

She suddenly grabbed Mo Lin's sleeve: "Go north, there's a cave behind the crevice in the rocks."

Mo Lin, Ye Ling, and Qing Zhu stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Ye Ling looked at her with her silver eyes and couldn't help but ask, "How did Yue'er know?"

"Just guessing."

She lowered her head to avoid eye contact, then suddenly looked at Qingzhu, "I saw a black bear den in the back during the day. I heard that black bears like to hide things. Go and take a look."

A hint of doubt flashed in Qingzhu's emerald green eyes, but she smiled and said, "Yue'er has sharp eyes; she even noticed a black bear's den."

He nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go take a look, and while I'm at it, I'll hunt that black bear. It would be nice to have bear meat tonight."

The figure had just disappeared into the bushes.

Su Xiyue was immediately greeted by a cacophony of screams: "We're doomed! That green-eyed wolf cub is going to wipe out Old Bear's whole family—"

Her lips twitched, and she tiptoed northwards.

A soft chuckle came from behind: "The way Yue'er walks is like a little squirrel that has stolen some fruit."

Her face flushed, and still feeling angry, she retorted irritably, "It's my business if I want to, what's it to you?"

Ye Ling was taken aback by her retort, but a smile appeared in her silver eyes. Taking advantage of her inattention, she suddenly picked up the person and ran away.

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and angrily punched his back: "Put me down, you bastard!"

"Scumbag?"

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes slightly and deliberately bounced her around a couple of times. "Yue'er walks like she's stepping on ants now. She won't even reach the cave by dawn."

The plants and trees immediately erupted in an uproar: "Look, look! That silver-eyed male is stealing a female!"

"This male flies around like a whirlwind, scattering all my spores!"

Mo Lin followed silently behind, when suddenly he stepped on a dead branch and broke it.

A cracking sound was mixed with a scream: "My old leg pain..."

Amidst the constant chatter and noise along the way, we finally arrived at the cave on the north side.

The cave was spacious and dry, with piles of dry grass in the corners, suggesting that orcs had temporarily stayed there.

Just as Ye Ling put Su Xiyue down, a scream suddenly came from the haystack: "Don't crush me! I was just slept with by a stinky badger yesterday!"

She jumped back as if electrocuted, crashing right into Mo Lin's arms.

"what happened?"

Mo Lin held her shoulder and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"There are bugs." She lied haphazardly, then glanced at Ye Ling, who was smiling slightly, and said fiercely, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go find some firewood, and while you're at it, find a stone pot. If you can't find any, you can use your claws to dig them out yourself. Also, get some bowls and chopsticks."

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow at her, not annoyed by her scolding, and smiled indulgently: "Okay, I'll go right now."

Now, let alone asking him to do work, even asking him to eat shit, he probably wouldn't hesitate.

Men are mostly like this: they don't cherish what they have until they lose it, only then do they realize how important it was.

He left quickly afterward.

The scoundrel had just left the cave.

A voice came from the haystack again: "That female is such a liar. She can smell badger odor on me but pretends to be afraid of bugs."

Su Xiyue looked at the haystack, and the thing under the hay immediately fell silent.

She definitely wouldn't dare sleep on that haystack anymore.

When Mo Lin saw that she was disgusted by the bugs in the haystack, he even took it out and shook it.

Ants and other small insects all trembled: "This male is terrifying, it's making my brains splatter out."

Su Xiyue bit her lower lip hard to keep from laughing out loud.

This skill is great, but it's too noisy.

She mentally asked the system, "System, can this sound be muted? It's so noisy. Can I turn it on only when I need it?"

"The host can choose silent mode."

The system's voice answered in her mind.

How do I mute it?

She asked, puzzled.

"I can adjust it for you. Just ask me to turn it on when you need it."

The system murmured and operated, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Only the sound of Mo Lin spreading out hay remained.

Ye Ling quickly returned carrying a pile of firewood.

Not long after, he returned with a stone pot. Judging from the marks, it was clear that the diagonal lines were newly made by wolf claws.

There were still freshly taken-out bowls and chopsticks inside.

She glanced at him with a surprised look, but didn't say anything.

The fire quickly blazed up, crackling loudly.

The surrounding area was neatly arranged with relatively flat stones, and the stone pot was placed on top of it.

Inside, hot water was bubbling away, with white steam rising from it.

Xuanming returned carrying the processed Crimson Blood Deer, and also held a wild ginseng in his hand.

He threw his prey to the ground, and the splattered blood stained Su Xiyue's skirt.

She clicked her tongue in disdain, "It's filthy."

Then he jumped to Mo Lin's side, not even glancing at Xuan Ming out of the corner of his eye.

That stupid dog still remembers the insults it hurled at me.

And they used such foul language.

Xuanming's hand, which was scratching his head, froze in mid-air.

Mo Lin squatted by the fire, whittling wooden skewers, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Serves you right."

"I didn't do it on purpose!"

Xuanming kicked a pebble at his feet, which bounced off the cave wall and struck him squarely on the back of the head.

Qingzhu happened to be carrying a jar of honey when she came in. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Karma."

The aroma of meat quickly filled the cave, making me even hungrier.

Su Xiyue sat on the opposite side of the hay, hugging her knees, deliberately keeping a distance from Ye Ling and Xuan Ming.

He only chatted and laughed with Mo Lin and Qing Zhu.

He ignored Ye Ling's attempts to curry favor.

Xuanming tried to speak to her several times, but she ignored him.

After a few times, Xuanming's temper flared up, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

"I've never been treated like this in my entire life."

He slammed the venison down in his hand, his face darkening. "So what if I scolded you a couple of times? If you're angry, you can scold me too, whatever you want. What's with ignoring me like this?"

Su Xiyue didn't even lift her eyelids, slowly taking the crimson venison that Qingzhu handed her, with slices of ginseng floating on top: "Scolding you? I'm afraid of dirtying my mouth."

Xuanming was so angry that he spun around three times on the spot. Suddenly, he found a stick and handed it to her: "Come on, hit me! Hit me until you feel better. If you keep ignoring me like this, I'm afraid I'll suffocate sooner or later."

She glanced at him indifferently, without reaching out to take it.

He thought to himself that Xuanming was really impatient; he exploded on his own just because he wasn't being paid attention.

Look at that scoundrel Ye Ling, he's so calm. He's still being attentive and polite, and he doesn't seem to be affected at all.

She held her chopsticks and ate the venison in her bowl in small bites, when she caught a glimpse of Xuanming frantically pulling at his hair.

For some reason, I felt much better.

Ye Ling intercepted the honey water that Qingzhu offered and eagerly handed it to her, saying, "Yue'er, honey water will help cut through the greasiness."

"I'm eating venison, let's leave it for now."

She said something with a complicated expression, and then ignored him.

Ye Ling's silver eyes darkened slightly. She gently set the honey water aside and said naturally, "Okay, we'll drink it after we finish eating the venison."

Su Xiyue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, silently thinking to herself: This jerk has a really good mentality.
