Chapter 50: She Couldn’t Live Without Them!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Huanhuan carried out all the food in the cellar and distributed it to the other beasts in the tribe in case they went hungry.

Every beast who took the food from her was filled with gratitude.

The gloom caused by the deaths of their people gradually dissipated.

As long as they were alive, there was hope.

Lin Huanhuan did not know about the psychological changes in the beasts. She could only feel that everyone’s spirits seemed to have improved a little and they were no longer as depressed as before.

Her mood lightened considerably.

While cleaning up the cellar, Lin Huanhuan found some sweet fruit pits in the corner.

She had dug the pits out of the sweet fruits when she made the jam before this. She didn’t know what use they had, but she found it a pity to throw them away. Hence, she piled them in a corner of the cellar.

She counted, and there were about a hundred pits.

At this moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind.

“Congratulations to the host for collecting 300 seeds and completing the third task of the Winter Season series. Rewards will be granted soon. Please check!”

As soon as the notification ended, a plump black seed appeared in front of Lin Huanhuan.

She picked up the seed and examined it. It looked a little like a black bean, but it was slightly bigger than that.

Leaning closer, she could smell the faint scent of vegetation.

Lin Huanhuan asked the system, “What seed is this?”

System 438 replied, “It is the seed of the Divine Wood.”

Divine Wood? Lin Huanhuan had never heard of such a plant. She immediately flipped through the sheepskin book from beginning to end, but still could not find any records of Divine Wood.

System No. 438 said, “The Divine Wood is a divine-level plant. The ‘Ancient Flora and Flora Illustrations’ that you currently possess is only the first volume. There are only records of low-level plants and animals in it.”

Lin Huanhuan asked, “Do you mean that if I want to know what the Divine Wood is, I have to continue collecting the other books?”

“Yes.”

Lin Huanhuan deliberately asked, “Then if I gather all seven books, can I summon the divine dragon?”

After a while, System 438 replied, “I’m sorry, the divine dragon doesn’t belong to this world and can’t be summoned.”

Hearing the serious answer, Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but chuckle. “I was just joking with you, but you actually took it seriously.”

System 438: “…”

The system was depressed that it had been teased by its host, but it could not say it.

Lin Huanhuan asked, “How do I plant this seed? Just bury it in the soil?”

System 438: “No need to plant it. Just eat it.”

Lin Huanhuan was surprised. “Why?”

“It’s a dead seed. You can’t grow it. You have to eat it.”

Lin Huanhuan was a little unhappy. “I spent so much effort to complete the mission, but you actually gave me a dead seed?!”

System 438 played dead and said nothing.

Lin Huanhuan had no choice but to throw the seed into her mouth.

Strangely, the seed seemed to have a mind of its own. Before she could chew it, it slipped down her throat.

Lin Huanhuan subconsciously touched her throat. “This seed isn’t poisonous, right?”

If System 438 had any thoughts, it would definitely be complaining about her at this moment. She had already eaten it, so wasn’t it a little too late to ask if the seed was poisonous?

The system said, “It’s not poisonous.”

“Then what good will it do me to eat it?”

“The Divine Wood is the source of all wood. Its seeds increase your affinity for nature.”

Lin Huanhuan did not seem to understand. “What do you mean? Can you explain in more detail?”

System 438 replied seriously, “Sorry, the host doesn’t have the relevant permission. That’s all I can explain for now.”

Lin Huanhuan, who had hit a dead end, expressed her disappointment.

The mission of collecting the seeds was completed, but the hundreds of seeds were not taken away by the system. They were still in Lin Huanhuan’s hands.

She gathered up the seeds, intending to plant them when spring came.

The primitive society did not have much, but they had a lot of land resources. They could plant whatever they wanted and did not have to worry about spending money to buy land.

…

Shuang Yun packed his luggage, brought the two large barrels of wine, and led 200 beasts down the mountain.

Their goal this time was to join forces with the Wild Horse Tribe to deal with the Black River Wolf Tribe.

Lin Huanhuan stood at the entrance of the cave and watched them leave.

The group of more than 200 beasts looked huge, but after they walked away, they were just a string of black dots in her eyes.

Fortunately, it was a nice day. There was neither wind nor snow.

They were going to war this time.

As long as it was war, there would definitely be casualties.

Lin Huanhuan could not help much. She could only pray silently for Shuang Yun to not be injured.

Bai Di draped a piece of hide over her. “It’s windy here,” he said gently. “You’ve just recovered and you’re still weak. Go back before you catch another cold.”

He and the other 30 beasts stayed behind to protect the females and cubs in the tribe.

As a three-star soul beast, Bai Di’s strength far exceeded everyone else. With him protecting the females, the other male beasts were at ease.

At night, Lin Huanhuan lay alone on the stone bed. She turned over several times before falling asleep.

She saw Shuang Yun in her dreams.

He fell to the snow, covered in wounds and blood.

Ya Qiu walked up to him and smiled sinisterly. He extended his wolf claws and grabbed Shuang Yun’s neck!

“No!” Lin Huanhuan was suddenly woken up!

She was breathing hard. Her face was covered in a cold sweat. Her heart was beating very fast.

The scene in her dream left her with lingering fear.

She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the pouch filled with crystal coins. She closed her eyes and called out softly, “Shuang Yun…”

Lin Huanhuan suddenly regretted it.

She shouldn’t have run away when Shuang Yun had asked to mate.

She should have agreed to complete the mating ritual with him and bear him a child. That way, even if something happened to Shuang Yun on the battlefield, she could still leave behind a bloodline for him.

It was all her fault for being too pretentious. She had already agreed to be his mate. She had already fallen for him. Why did she still refuse to mate with him?

If Shuang Yun really did not return this time, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life!

Bai Di, who was sleeping next door, heard the commotion and walked in. When he saw how uncomfortable Lin Huanhuan was, he quickly helped her up.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Lin Huanhuan’s face was pale as she said in a trembling voice, “I just had a dream that Shuang Yun was killed. I was so afraid…”

Bai Di wiped the cold sweat from her face and comforted her gently, saying, “Don’t be afraid. It was just a dream. It’s not real. Shuang Yun will return safely.”

Lin Huanhuan looked at his handsome face and couldn’t help but hug his neck tightly.

“You won’t leave me, will you? Neither of you will leave me, will you?”

They were all her family, the people closest to her in the world. She couldn’t live without them!

Bai Di took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. “Of course. We’ll never leave you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Huanhuan took the initiative to lean over and kiss him hard on the lips.
