Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 59 A Desolate Heart
Guo Mi, holding an egg in its mouth, looked up from the nest, its eyes fixed on the mountain wall to its left, its whole body stiff and tense, not daring to glance to the right.

To be honest, she didn't feel anything when she climbed up, but everything changed when she glanced down unintentionally.

After that moment, it was as if the whole world was about to collapse, and the carefree bear finally realized that he had climbed to an incredible height.

While hurriedly looking away, Guo Mi still had time to imagine what would happen if she fell.

...No matter how you look at it, it'll just turn into a pile of bear pancakes!
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about going down, but since she had already climbed up, looking at the bird's nest so close at hand, Guo Mi's round almond eyes went from wavering to resolute!
Anyway, we've already climbed up here—

The two geese, who were initially in shock at seeing a bear suddenly appear where it shouldn't have, snapped back to reality upon seeing the egg in the bear's mouth and hysterically charged towards her!

Guo Mi couldn't dodge and was slapped in the face by a goose, so she quickly used her claws to grip the cliff face tightly!
After enduring a barrage of attacks, what appeared in Almond's eyes was not fear, but rather cunning!

I thought I could only steal two eggs, but I was surprised by the unexpected surprise!

Guo Mi immediately raised her head, trying to show her "trophy" to the angry goose from every angle.

As expected, the two greyish-white geese were blinded by anger and swooped down towards Guo Mi without regard for anything else!
The moment they began to swoop down, Guo Mi crushed the egg, shell and all, and swallowed it whole, turning her head away to cover it up.

When the goose rushed closer, it discovered that the bear's mouth was already empty, and what it was facing was a gaping maw of sharp teeth that still gleamed coldly!
Flight helped them evade most of their natural enemies, but now it has become their biggest drawback, leading to their demise!
That is, once it starts diving, it is difficult for it to get out of the way in time, and its body can only be uncontrollably sent into the bear's mouth!

Just as she had imagined, Guo Mi bit down on the slender neck of the gray goose. With just a little force, the sound of bones breaking could be heard!

A mournful cry of a goose rang in my ears. The goose, now in the bear's jaws, struggled a couple of times before finally succumbing to the loss of life and becoming Guo Mi's meal.

It was inconvenient for Guo Mi to carry her prey on the mountain wall, so she simply let go. The already dead gray-white goose fell sadly to the ground, crashing onto the rocks below the mountain wall and kicking up a cloud of dust.

There were still feather fragments floating in the air.

Guo Mi's gaze was fixed on the other goose that had escaped the disaster, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

Among birds, there is a great deal of loyalty; many bird species choose to remain solitary for life or commit suicide after their partners die.

Although she knew her actions were despicable, she had no choice; it was the law of nature, and she had to survive.

Another grey and white goose circled in the air once before landing on the other side of the cliff. It folded its wings and perched on a protruding rock, silently watching the corpse of its mate on the ground. Then it turned to look at Guo Mi, its dark eyes filled with sorrow. Finally, it let out a mournful cry and took flight from the cliff.

Its figure blended into the huge flock of birds in the sky and quickly disappeared.

Guo Mi withdrew her gaze and stared at the bird's nest in front of her, but she felt no joy at obtaining food.

Even though her mind was focused on annihilating the last survivors of the goose family just a moment ago, she still felt a profound sense of desolation at this moment.

This feeling has been with her ever since she turned into a bear.

After killing a wild boar, he suddenly noticed the piglet lingering beside its mother, refusing to leave; while hunting a reindeer calf, he saw the mother deer standing in the distance, deeply saddened…

Many, many times.

Sometimes Guo Mi wondered if other bears felt as desolate as she did after a hunt.

But she would soon dismiss this ridiculous idea.

Just like humans choosing meat at the market, no one finds it absurd, and it's probably the same feeling for bears, right?
This is their daily life.

Looking at the flock of birds in the sky, the last gray-white goose had long since disappeared without a trace and could no longer be found. Perhaps it would find a new mate soon.

Guo Mi had to adapt again and again; she was just a bear, a bear who wanted to survive.

She took a deep breath, forcibly banishing the chaotic thoughts from her mind, and prepared to climb down the rock face.

Climbing up is easy, but getting down is twice as difficult.

She couldn't turn around on the steep rock face, and even if she could, climbing down the rock face headfirst wouldn't be advisable.

Guo Mi felt another wave of regret.

She could only retreat little by little, her claws treading on the spot she had just climbed up, tentatively climbing down step by step.

The two bear cubs watching her from below the cliff did not rush to share the prey that Guo Mi had thrown down. Instead, they raised their little heads and kept their eyes fixed on Guo Mi on the cliff, their little paws digging tightly into the ground.

The salmon, even more agitated, got up, circled around twice, and then turned to ask the fishbone:

"Guo Mi can come down, right?"

Fishbone swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly:

"It can definitely be done." Two male bears nearby had witnessed the entire process of Guo Mi killing the goose, and Slock was somewhat worried.

"She can't see anything, how can she get down like this?"

Caesar remained silent, his gaze fixed on the figure on the cliff face, the bear's claws leaving a scratch on the hard stone.

Slok's unconscious words reached his ears:

"Are they really that short of food? To risk everything to climb up that rock face..."

Caesar froze, suddenly remembering the half reindeer from that night.

The reindeer that couldn't be sent away ended up in Slok's stomach, as he thought Guo Mi could solve the food problem.

"Caesar, Caesar? Caesar!!"

Slok's shout brought Caesar back to his senses.

The polar bear was somewhat annoyed:

"what happened to you?"

Caesar's gaze returned to Guo Mi, who was slowly climbing down the cliff face, and after a long while, he whispered:
"nothing."

A hint of doubt flashed in Slok's eyes, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only sit back down next to Caesar and watch Guo Mi climb down the cliff with him. Not long after, he couldn't help but turn back to look at Caesar again.

Caesar, annoyed by his gaze, moved to the side.

Slok shifted slightly, and before Caesar could go berserk, he suddenly asked:

"Did you and Guo Mi have a fight?"

After another long silence, Caesar said in a muffled voice:
"No."

Slok didn't believe it:

"really?"

At times like these, Caesar would invariably resort to violence to resolve the issue, but unfortunately, this time Slok didn't give him the chance:
"Didn't you love following her around the most? You haven't gone to see her in ages."

Caesar remained silent and refused to answer, but Slok didn't mind and continued:
"The day you brought the deer back, I smelled the scent of Guo Mi and those two bear cubs on you. Did you try to make amends by offering prey but were rejected?"

As he spoke, he felt something was off. Caesar did have a faint scent that night, but it was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, not like someone who had been in close contact with him.

Caesar remained silent on the matter.

Rejected? How could that be? He didn't even manage to send the prey away.

Slok clicked his tongue twice, and then brazenly began to mock his cold-blooded older brother:

"They're starving, and you offer them prey, only to be refused. What did you do?"

What did he do? He did nothing!

He just felt wronged and complained a few times!

Unfortunately, Guo Mi never let her guard down around him from beginning to end; she didn't care about him as a friend!

The little bear cub is more important than him, even Slok is more important than him!
Yes, Slok, it all comes down to Slok!

They wouldn't have argued if this stupid bear hadn't suddenly appeared!

Caesar's gaze toward Slok grew increasingly hostile!

Slok, oblivious to the trouble he was about to inflict, continued to shake his head and jokingly remark:

"A bear like you will never win the favor of a mother bear."

He's talking nonsense. Putting aside Caesar's wicked character, his strong physique and excellent hunting skills still made him very popular with the female bears!

Unfortunately, Caesar couldn't shake off his personality.

In the end, Slok still couldn't escape a beating with his big claws!
Caesar bared his teeth at Slok, who was cowering in a ball from the beating, and growled:
"Shut up!"

Just as he was about to slap Slokley a few more times to vent his anger, a little bear suddenly cried out from not far away!
Caesar's clawing motion froze, and he quickly turned to look. What he saw was exactly the second before Guo Mi collapsed from the mountainside and rolled to the ground!
The two male bears, no longer caring about their playful fight, hurriedly ran down the mountainside, one after the other!
