Chapter 29: The Little Wolf's Resentment

  All the way running, He Lianuo felt that there seemed to be a significant change in his body. Firstly, it seemed to run more economically, and his whole body moved extremely coordinately, almost without consuming any energy. Secondly, this rapid running made the Xuanlei force in He Lianuo's body flow faster, which could almost be considered a kind of cultivation. With a pleasant mood, He Lianuo ran faster and faster, and soon arrived under the Yuhua tree.

  He Lian'nuo slightly calmed down her slightly accelerated heartbeat, raised her head and looked around, only to see the little wolf that had been born with its own breath was squatting under the Yuhua tree, fiddling with something. She felt curious in her heart, but didn't make a sound, and quietly crept closer, stretching her neck to look in the direction of the little wolf's front paws.

  At this sight, Helian was almost laughing out loud!

  Only the little wolf's two eyes stared fixedly at the empty space in front of him, and on that empty space was not only the stupid seven-treasured tortoise but also a fat squirrel! This squirrel was quite strange, with extremely smooth fur all over its body, a pair of big eyes that were very lively, and what was even stranger was that this guy wasn't afraid of the little wolf at all. It just busied itself back and forth under the little wolf's nose, and the little wolf was also harmonious, lying there motionless, seemingly afraid that if it moved, it would scare away this bold squirrel, not even daring to breathe loudly.

  Want to know what the squirrel is busy with? Take a look and you'll know! At this moment, the squirrel's chubby front paws are holding a small green flower as small as a soybean. The squirrel carefully bites off the stem of the flower, leaving only a small corolla, then turns the corolla upside down and gently presses it onto the little turtle's head!

  At this moment, the little turtle is no longer in its original black shell. The squirrel has somehow found various small flowers and densely covered them on the turtle's shell, making it look colorful and beautiful. Moreover, the four small feet of the turtle have also been fitted with four flower crowns, just like colorful boots.

  Is this a game of house? Helianuo was desperately holding back her laughter, wondering how the squirrel had managed to persuade the little wolf to lend it its precious turtle for it to play with. And how could the so-called Super Soul Beast, the Seven Treasures Mystic Turtle, allow an ordinary squirrel without even one stage to put a... green hat on its noble head? And what's more, with such a pleased expression?

  Alas, the world of Soul Beasts, humans will never understand!

  He Lianuo was about to continue watching, when she suddenly felt someone lightly tap her on the back. She quickly turned around and saw that it was indeed the punctual Chongchong, who was now holding a large wooden cup in both hands and looking at her with an inquiring expression.

  He Lian quickly made a silencing gesture to her, gently pulling on Chong Chong's collar to pull her forward, and quietly pointed to the grass where the three animals were.

  The insects looked at Helian with a puzzled expression, but still couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts, and leaned forward to take a look...

  "Hahaha... wu...", He Lianuo heard the sound and thought it was not good, hurriedly stepped forward to cover Bug's mouth with his hand, but his action was still a step late. Bug's silvery laughter had already startled the three animals. The squirrel reacted the fastest, throwing down the small flowers in its paws and quickly climbing up a nearby jade phoenix tree. However, it did not run far, instead, it lay on a branch, carefully looking down. He Lianuo had never seen the seven-treasured black turtle move before, but now it shook violently, tossing all the flowers that covered its body to one side, restoring its original black and shiny appearance.

  As for Xiao Lang, he originally turned his head to see Helian'nuo and clearly wanted to habitually pounce over, but suddenly thought that he was still angry, how could he easily get along with this guy who ignored him? At the moment, he quickly cooled down, turned his head to pick up the little turtle and ran under the Yu Huang tree, lying down with his back facing Helian'nuo.

  He Lian Nu let out a helpless sigh, and beside her, Chong Chong seemed to have guessed something, carefully asking: "What's wrong? Is it because of a falling out with Xiao Lang?"

  Khaleno nodded slightly, looking like he didn't know what to do.

  As soon as the worm saw Helian's appearance, he knew that this guy was probably having his first falling out with his good brother and didn't know how to coax the little wolf into a good mood. He turned his eyes around and said slowly: "I do have a way, maybe I can help you make the little wolf angry!"

  "What method?" Helianuo heard this and was overjoyed, hastily asking.

  "I can tell you, but what's in it for me?" Chong Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at He Lian Nuo, who somehow sensed a hint of conspiracy behind the smile.

  "What benefits? What good things?"

  "I still can't think of it now, how about this, you promise me now and I'll tell you what I want later when I remember, what do you say?"

  "Uh...", Helianuo hesitated for a moment, if this girl asked him to marry her in the future, would he really marry her?

  "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you!", Bug said reassuringly.

  "Alright... fine, I'll agree with you, quickly tell me what's your good plan!", He Lianuo gritted her teeth and still agreed.

  Seeing the triumphant smile in Hulian's eyes, it can be inferred that after a few years, Helian will complain to Xiao Lang: "It's all because of you, I was forced to agree to those unequal terms with that girl!"

  But at this moment, Helianuo didn't notice these things, and Chongchong just took it as a joke. Seeing that Helianuo was really anxious, Chongchong knew he couldn't keep teasing him anymore, so he asked: "I'm asking you, what does Little Wolf like to do most in his daily life?"

  "Eat meat! But this...", Helianuo said without hesitation, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly slapped his own head, "How did I not think of that!", after saying that, he hastily turned around and ran away, soon leaving the empty space where Yu Huan was.

  "What's the hurry, what has this kid thought of?!", Bug watched as Helianno suddenly ran off without a trace, and could only sit bored on the grass, fiddling with his large wooden cup. The squirrel in the tree waited for half a day but didn't see anyone coming to catch it, so it plucked up its courage and slipped down to the base of the tree, jumping onto Little Wolf's body without any courtesy, and began to play with the small turtle in front of Little Wolf's paws.

  After a while, Helianuo finally ran back in a flurry, holding a large bundle of dry branches in his arms and carrying something wrapped in huge leaves on his shoulder.

  Kellen ran swiftly to the front of the worm, put down the object on the ground, carefully dug a small pit with a thicker branch, then buried the object wrapped in large leaves into the soil, covered it with mud, and finally covered it with dry branches. After doing all this, Kellen took out two flints he had picked up on the road, struck them together to produce sparks, and carefully ignited the branches on the ground.

  Before long, the branches on the ground burned more and more fiercely. He Lianuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down next to Chong Chong, held a wooden stick in one hand to adjust the bonfire, and glanced at Xiao Lang with both eyes.

  He Lian's series of actions had long startled the three animals. The little turtle was still okay, still with that half-dead and half-alive look. The little wolf had a mind to pretend to be calm, but its curiosity was too strong, and it kept glancing at the bonfire in a pretended unintentional manner. As for the squirrel, it didn't have any scruples at all, and it actually jumped over to the side of the bonfire, staring blankly at the raging flames, as if it couldn't understand why these two walking souls would set up a bonfire here in broad daylight.

  Before long, guessing that the time was about right, Helian Nuo carefully moved the unburned firewood to one side and covered it with sand to extinguish it. Then he picked up the firewood and dug out the things they had buried earlier, not afraid of getting burned. He directly picked them up and spread out the small packages made of tree leaves. Suddenly, a strong meaty aroma drilled into everyone's nostrils.

  "Mmm, smells so good! What's this little dish?", Bug, who had hardly ever eaten meat before, couldn't resist the temptation as soon as he caught a whiff of the meaty aroma. He asked while already reaching out to grab a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth.

  He Lian smiled as she watched Chong'er ignoring the heat and putting the meat directly into her mouth. He quickly plucked a leaf from a nearby tree, washed it in the spring water, and handed it to her to use as a makeshift plate. "Don't rush, eat slowly," he said with a smile. "You don't look like a lady at all! In my hometown, this dish is called 'stir-fried chicken'. It's very easy to make, but now we don't have any seasonings. With seasonings, it would be truly delicious!"

  "It's already delicious!", Chong Chong said with a mouthful of meat, mumbling indistinctly.

  He Lianuo glanced at the small squirrel beside him, which was swallowing saliva, and picked up a piece of meat to throw in front of it. The squirrel saw a piece of fragrant meat flying over and quickly jumped up, not waiting for the meat to fall to the ground before picking it up in its mouth, but instead of immediately swallowing it, it climbed up the jade phoenix tree with a whoosh before finally devouring it with big gulps.

  This is unbearable for the little wolf. The fragrance that came from afar had almost made itself lose its principles and run forward to ask for it, but now this squirrel not only ate the meat without sharing, but also ran to its head and took a big bite. What's even more infuriating is: it...it...it didn't even give itself a share!

  He Lianuo, who was familiar with Xiao Lang's temper, knew that he must be struggling desperately to resist the temptation of food. He put down his face, picked out the largest piece of meat, wrapped it in leaves, stood up and walked to Xiao Lang's side, gently placing the meat in front of his nose, without saying a word, turned around and returned to Zhuang Zhuang's side.

  The little wolf stared at the meat in front of him, emitting a savory aroma. He watched as the small turtle poked its head out and slowly crawled to the meat, devouring it without hesitation. He saw the squirrel jump down, grab the meat, and stuff it into its mouth... What? This can't be just watched! This is my meat, and you're all eating it?! The little wolf couldn't bear it anymore, opening his big mouth to fiercely tear at the meat.

  Helen and Chong looked at each other from a distance and smiled, knowing that their plan had worked.
