Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

The sharp claws that had been embedded in the rocks gradually retracted into the palm of the hand, and the White Tiger God turned and disappeared over the mountain.

The little white tiger seemed to sense something and looked back at the mountain, but there was nothing there except for the dark clouds covering the top.

My mother came? She was the one who told me to come back and find these two monsters who call themselves humans.

"It's all taken care of, let's go back." Chu Xunfeng wiped his face, turned to look at the white tiger who was looking back, and also glanced at the mountain peak with a puzzled look.

"Awooo." The little white tiger withdrew its gaze and walked towards the cave. Chu Xunfeng followed behind the white tiger and entered the cave together.

"It'll be more than an hour. Sit down and wait." Chu Xunfeng said this to the little white tiger while he was busy preparing the rabbit meat.

The little white tiger tilted its head, not sitting down, but still standing, staring at Chu Xunfeng, seemingly curious, its eyes flickering, as if it were learning.

"You want to learn?" A gentle female voice sounded beside him. The little white tiger turned its head to look at the female human and nodded.

“Then take a good look. Chu Xunfeng said that he is very good at cooking. He can do more than just roast meat. If you can bring back different prey in the next few days, he should be able to make other dishes with different flavors.”

“We’re short of seasonings.” Chu Xunfeng took out bottles and jars of spices from his brocade pouch and began to rub spices and salt into the rabbit meat, which had many small holes poked in it, to marinate it. “These spices will only last for three to five days at most, depending on how much this big cat eats. We also don’t have enough fine salt.”

The little white tiger tilted its head, took two steps forward, and sniffed the raw meat.

Chu Xunfeng wanted to push the little white tiger away, but seeing that his hands were greasy and covered in spice powder, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he nudged the little white tiger's head with his elbow and said, "Go away. If you want to learn, just watch quietly."

The little white tiger was momentarily stunned, but it remembered what the two humans said, as well as the smell of the spices.

It squatted down by the campfire and actually watched Chu Xunfeng obediently as he processed the pieces of meat of varying sizes.

They seem quite well-behaved, at least they don't have the wariness and hostility they showed when we first met half an hour ago.

The young lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat down not far from the little white tiger, watching Chu Xunfeng process the meat.

Inside the cave, the only sounds for a moment were the greasy kneading noises.

All that remained were the sounds of wind and rain coming from outside the cave.

The campfire crackled and popped as it burned.

It was so quiet, like a paradise on earth.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Fourth Prince of the Dragon Clan

The autumn hunting festival was disrupted by a sudden attack by assassins in black. Some people died and others went missing. Such a major event could not be covered up quietly.

The whole affair has attracted considerable attention in Bianzhou, Dizhou, and even the other three states, with countless eyes watching it closely.

Everyone is waiting to see how Baidi City will handle this matter.

After a long three-day wait, the demon they were looking for finally arrived in Baidi City.

The arrival of the demon race left most people who were paying attention to the matter completely baffled, since they didn't know the background and naturally didn't understand why the demon race had come.

Dressed in palace robes and fish skirts, with maids carrying umbrellas and wearing dragon fins on their arms, they led the way.

A handsome man in a green robe with a tuft of hair on his forehead and a gentle smile walked slowly towards the pavilion below the three lists of scholars in the shade cast by the umbrella.

"Greetings, Chief of the Bianzhou Alliance and Lord of Baidi City." The man in blue arrived outside the pavilion, paused, turned his folding fan around, and bowed slightly in a junior's greeting.

"Fourth Prince, you actually came in person." Mu Ye's eyes gleamed, and he glanced subtly at the White Emperor City Sect Leader, whose brows were furrowed.

"After all, it concerns the inheritance of the True Dragon and involves the White Tiger God. Bai Dicheng also said that someone of sufficient importance needs to come. If my mother hadn't been so busy, she should have come in person."

"Your Highness Ao Ning, you flatter me. The fact that the Azure Dragon God Lord sent Your Highness here is enough to prove the sincerity of the demon race." The White Emperor City Sect Leader gave the young man a forced smile.

"This kind of thing is hard for ordinary people to accept, let alone someone as talented as the Phoenix Blood Dragon Bone Pill. My Dragon Clan must show enough sincerity, at least not let Brother Chu Xunfeng feel that he is being manipulated." The Fourth Prince of the Dragon Clan smiled gently, but the subtle barbs in his words made the White Emperor City Sect Leader feel really uncomfortable.

“Your Highness Ao Ning, four days have passed since the incident. If you have nothing to prepare, shall we set off now?” Mu Ye, who was not involved in either side’s position, quickly spoke up to smooth things over. “The longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it will be for those two.”

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared." Ao Ning opened his folding fan with a swish, gently waving it and causing the strands of hair at his temples to sway lightly. "Is everything ready in Baidi City?"

"Hmm." The White Emperor City Lord, whose expression wasn't very pleasant after being teased by the Fourth Prince of the Dragon Clan, nodded.

"Then let's go." The Fourth Prince nodded with a light laugh. "Hong Ji, prepare for battle."

"Yes, Your Highness." The woman in the fish-skirt with a soft, sweet voice waved her hand, scattering a large number of shimmering bubbles, which carried her and Ao Ning into the air. Together with the people of White Emperor City who were either riding soldiers or flying through the air, they flew towards the depths of the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

Only the cultivators who had not yet finished their journey at the Autumn Hunting Festival looked up as the group gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Fatty, you've been frowning for a while now, what are you thinking about?"

"Something feels off. I'm afraid Brother Chu and the others won't be able to get back so easily."

“Of course, we waited for the demons to arrive before we went to rescue him.” Li Qinglian glanced at the three lists. “If the numbers on the [Quantity] list hadn’t been rising for the past few days, I would have thought Brother Chu was dead.”

"Tsk, let's wait a bit longer. Since they've gone here, they'll be back in a day or two." Jin Fugui looked away and continued preparing the grilled fish.

“That’s true.” Li Qinglian nodded, crossed his legs, continued chewing on a reed, humming a little tune, and waited to eat the fish.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains of the Southern Wilderness, on the mudflats outside a cave, a huge bonfire was burning fiercely.

The young lady was using a dagger to cut tree branches, while Chu Xunfeng was rubbing a large lump of flesh lying on the ground.

The white tiger cub, returning from the hunt, was playing in the water, or rather, taking a bath. Although it is a feline, it doesn't seem to be afraid of water at all.

“It’s been four days.” Chu Xunfeng stood up, lifting the four legs of the horned antelope. He looked up at the clear sky, then turned to look at the young lady who was meeting his gaze. “If we don’t get any more people from the sect, we’ll have to try to leave this place.”

"Are you confident?" Xu Bailing knew she had no fighting ability.

"If all else fails, borrow a pee from that little guy. It's a bit filthy, but it should be quite useful." Chu Xunfeng pointed to the little white tiger splashing in the river.

Xu Bailing smacked her lips. As a girl, she was slightly resistant to Chu Xunfeng's suggestion, just a little bit. So she hesitated for a moment, but then nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"I'll listen to you..." These three words convey trust and reliance.

Chu Xunfeng smiled and lifted the prey in his hand. "Can you do me a favor?"

The young lady swung her wrist-thick, smooth wooden skewer into the body of the antelope-like monster.

Chu Xunfeng placed the antelope on the racks that had been set up on either side of the campfire and began to roast it.

Roasting a whole lamb is obviously impractical, but peeling off the cooked meat layer by layer to eat has its own unique flavor.

Anyway, the little white tiger didn't care about the half-cooked, bloody flesh; most of the sheep was going to end up in his stomach anyway.

Xu Bailing and Chu Xunfeng didn't care about this. Many of the spices were wild ones that the white tiger took Chu Xunfeng to find, and the prey was also hunted back by the little white tiger.

After three days together, the little white tiger understood human speech, didn't cause any trouble, and was well-behaved. The two people and the beast got along like friends.

The big cat, who had been playing in the water, smelled the aroma spreading in the air, jumped ashore, and ran happily to the campfire. While warming itself by the fire, it also moved closer to the roasting meat, whether it wanted to steal a bite or just wanted to smell the aroma, it was hard to tell.

Then Chu Xunfeng slapped him on the forehead, saying, "Stay away, or you'll get your share later."

"Roar!" The little white tiger tossed its head and roared at Chu Xunfeng.

It sounds scary, but after spending a few days with it, Chu Xunfeng already knew that this little white tiger was really a bit simple-minded and had a limited brain capacity. It didn't hold grudges at all, and its intimidating power had decreased significantly compared to when they first met.

"Just stay still and warm yourself by the fire." Chu Xunfeng glared at the white tiger.

"Hmph~" The little white tiger snorted and lay down.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, just wait a little longer and you'll have something to eat." Xu Bailing moved next to the little white tiger and gently rubbed the fur on its neck.

Although I really wanted to touch that fluffy big head, the little white tiger didn't like it.

But Chu Xunfeng just really liked to mess with the little white tiger's head.

Perhaps it's because like elements repel each other?

Just as the two people and the beast were enjoying themselves, layers of dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky. Chu Xunfeng frowned, and Xu Bailing also looked up at the sky.

A thunderclap suddenly rang out, and Chu Xunfeng's previously depressed expression froze.

[Desperate Situation! White Tiger God! The mountain you're carrying is behind you!]

Chu Xunfeng turned his head stiffly.

On the mountaintop, the White Tiger God, whose size was as large as a heavy truck, stood.

She exchanged a glance with Chu Xunfeng, then slowly raised her gaze.

At that moment, the young lady also realized that something was wrong and slowly turned her head.

She was also stunned.

Only the little white tiger glanced back, then turned back again, continuing to stare at the whole antelope on the campfire.

Is this meat going to burn?

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Chips

That is... the White Tiger God!

Chu Xunfeng absolutely trusted his instincts; he was certain that he had made eye contact with that tigress, who was the size of a dump truck.

That exaggerated sense of oppression was as if the soul had been electrified, and the momentary stiffness felt like being banished to an infinite distance in an instant.

but why?

Chu Xunfeng was somewhat bewildered.

The young man turned around and exchanged a glance with the young lady.

Xu Bailing was equally puzzled. The two had analyzed the situation and concluded that they absolutely could not be exposed to the White Tiger God's sight, but now it seemed...

The fact that the white tiger cub showed no abnormal behavior is itself the biggest abnormality.
