Chapter 125: Strike First
Huanhuan learned about Mu Ye from Shuang Yun.
She couldn’t help but sigh. The young man who liked to tell stories was gone, leaving behind only a handful of ashes.
“If I had developed Forgetting Water earlier, Mu Ye might not have died…”
Bai Di stroked her head. “It was Mu Ye’s choice,” he said gently. “We’re all just spectators in his life. You don’t have to take all the blame.”
Huanhuan sighed. “I just feel a little uncomfortable.”
Although Mu Ye was a little stubborn and impulsive, he was still a very good beast. It was because he had trusted the wrong person that this tragedy happened.
And Yi Wu, the instigator of this tragedy, was still at large. She did not feel the slightest guilt over Mu Ye’s death.
The human heart was made of flesh. Why was Yi Wu so cold-blooded?!
Shuang Yun promised, “We’ll avenge Mu Ye!”
Sang Ye suddenly said in a dark tone, “Speaking of revenge, I think we should be prepared in advance. Since Ma Qing has contacted the Dark Moon Temple, they’ll definitely make a comeback. We can’t just sit back and wait for death.”
Shuang Yun stroked his chin. “We might as well strike first and kill Bu Jin and Ma Qing!”
Sang Ye frowned. “But even if they die, the Dark Moon Temple might not let the matter rest. They might even vent their anger on the Rock Wolf Tribe.”
Bai Di said, “When the time comes, I’ll cause trouble for the Dark Moon Temple so that they won’t have the time to bother us.”
The other three looked at him in unison. “What do you want to do?”
“After dealing with Bu Jin and Ma Qing, I’ll return to a beast city and get someone to go to Dark Moon Temple to cause trouble.”
Shuang Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Which beast city are you going to?”
Bai Di slowly tucked his hair behind his ears and said leisurely, “Sun City.”
Shuang Yun and Sang Ye looked at each other and stopped talking.
Only Huanhuan still looked confused. “What’s Sun City?”
“It’s a middle city.”
Huanhuan thought for a moment. “The Sun City and Dark Moon City are both middle cities. Are their strengths similar?”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
Huanhuan nodded in understanding. “Oh.”
“Is there anything else you want to ask? Whatever you want to know, I can tell you.” He kissed the corner of her mouth, his gaze gentle.
Huanhuan hugged his neck and buried her red face in it. “Not for now.”
“Then can I sleep with you tonight?”
Huanhuan hesitated. “We’ll only sleep. We won’t do anything else.”
She seemed to find him stiffening up a little. Worried that Bai Di would be unhappy, she quickly added, “Even if we do it, we can only do it once. I have class tomorrow morning…”
Her face turned even redder, and her voice trailed off.
Bai Di stroked the back of her head and smiled. “Huanhuan, you’re so cute.”
Under Shuang Yun’s envious gaze, Bai Di carried Huanhuan into the bedroom and closed the door.
Shuang Yun was so angry that he grabbed a piece of jerky and gnawed on it. As he chewed, he muttered, “Why does Huanhuan always listen to Bai Di no matter what he says? She’s never been so obedient to me!”
Sang Ye glanced at him. “This dried meat is for the cubs to sharpen their teeth. Eat less of it.”
The wolf cubs hugged Shuang Yun’s calves and looked up at the jerky in his hand.
Shuang Yun suddenly felt guilty.
He quickly handed the dried meat to the babies.
The wolf cubs opened their mouths and bit the jerky with relish.
Shuang Yun didn’t even have the last bit of entertainment left. Bored, he moved to the door of the bedroom. He leaned against the door and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
Sang Ye frowned at him as if he despised him. “You’re actually eavesdropping?!”
Shuang Yun lowered his voice. “Aren’t you curious about what Huanhuan and Bai Di are doing in the room?”
Sang Ye was silent.
Wasn’t he curious?
Of course, he was curious!
He moved silently to Shuang Yun’s side and pressed his ear to the door.
The wolf pups who were chewing jerky saw their two daddies squatting at the door. They were doing something, but they looked like they were having fun. The four of them immediately pounced on them and wanted to play with them.
In the end, they accidentally pounced too hard and slammed into the door.
There was a bang.
Shuang Yun and Sang Ye: “…”
They picked up the wolf pups as quickly as they could and rushed into the next bedroom. When Bai Di pulled open the door and looked out, he found no one there.
Bai Di closed the door and returned to the bed. He peeled off the hide blanket, revealing Huanhuan’s blushing face.
She had been stripped naked. Her fair skin had a faint pink luster, and her eyes were misty.
She crossed her arms shyly, avoiding his gaze. “Who’s out there?” she whispered.
Bai Di pulled her into his arms and kissed her smooth, round shoulder. “They’re gone,” he replied distractedly. “The children must have accidentally hit the door while playing.”
“Okay.”
He couldn’t resist kissing her on the lips when he saw how stunned she was.
She slowly stretched out her fair arms and hugged his neck, shyly responding to his kiss.
…
Bai Di was a man of his word. He promised to do it only once, and he really did.
But this time, it lasted for most of the night. Huanhuan was tossed and turned. She cried until her voice was hoarse.
However, Bai Di had been considerate of her feelings the entire time. He was so gentle that when she woke up the next morning and looked at his caring handsome face, she couldn’t say a word of reproach.
She felt as though Bai Di had her by the throat.
Huanhuan rested at home for another day.
Bai Di stayed at home to take care of her. The wolf pups liked him and always surrounded him.
He took out the jerky and shared it with the wolf cubs.
Huanhuan watched as he stroked the wolf cubs. She couldn’t help but say, “I’ll give birth to a few children for you too!”
Bai Di looked up at her with a gentle gaze. “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait until you’re well.”
“My health is quite good.”
Bai Di walked over and touched the hickey on her neck. “Then why were you crying and shouting that you couldn’t take it last night?”
Huanhuan blushed and defended herself. “It’s your fault for refusing to finish…”
She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. Her face was so red.
Bai Di picked her up and put her on his lap. He laughed in a low voice. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I’ll be faster next time.”
Huanhuan buried her face in his chest, too embarrassed to look up.
