Chapter 102: Was their marriage an old wolf eating tender grass or two minors playing house…? (1)
She suddenly thought of how she had read that a demon had to reach 35 years old to be considered an adult. She didn’t know how old Mr. Gray Wolf was. Was their marriage an old wolf eating tender grass or two minors playing house…?
Thinking of how Mr. Gray Wolf was camouflaged as a pup when they first met, Ruan Qiuqiu thought it was likely that he wasn’t an adult yet. Had Mr. Gray Wolf fully grown out his fur yet?
Hmm… He had fairly thick fur and when she had helped him by cleaning the blood and dirt of his body, she had accidentally touched him there and noticed his size. Based on that, she assumed that the wolf shouldn’t be lacking in a certain ability…
Seeing that Ruan Qiuqiu’s face was getting increasingly red, Little Yu, who thought he was very knowledgeable, said, “Big sister Qiuqiu, don’t worry. Grandpa said that other than it being harder to have a cub, there’s nothing bad with getting married before you reach adulthood.”
Cub…
Hearing these words, Ruan Qiuqiu almost cracked. The amount of force she was using increased, and the spear instantly broke through the ice.
The fish in the stream hadn’t had fresh air for several days. Suddenly, there was fresh air, and they all competed to jump out. Most of the fish that jumped out for air were double-sided barbed fish with sharp teeth. Their mouthful of sharp teeth looked quite terrifying and savage.
Fortunately, Ruan Qiuqiu had prepared in advance. With the assistance of spiritual energy, she stabbed the spear into a fish and numbly skirted away from the other fish. Although she still got bitten, she was lucky in being able to catch a fish.
When the fat double-sided spiny fish stopped moving, she put the fish in the hands of the wide-eyed Mo Yu’s hand. The fish was about three to four catties. Following the same method as before, she caught another fish.
When she tried to catch fish for the third time, the fish in the stream had become alert. She tried to catch fish several times without success. Ruan Qiuqiu’s calf had been bitten several times during these attempts.
The activity in the ice hole gradually subsidized too. No more fish jumped out.
Ruan Qiuqiu accepted that she wouldn’t be able to get more fish today and didn’t force herself to continue trying.
Worried that the smell of blood would attract wild animals, Ruan Qiuqiu crumbled a blood-clotting leaf and used it to staunch her bleeding. She also covered the blood-stained ground with dirt.
Even so, she underestimated how delicious her blood smelled. When she had gotten injured on the cliff earlier, it had been okay then because she had only bled a small amount, so the scent didn’t attract any fiends.
This time, several fish had viciously bitten her several times, and she had bled a lot. Although she had already staunch the bleeding, that amount of bleeding was enough to attract fiends.
Just as the two of them had climbed into the passageway along the vines, Ruan Qiuqiu saw a terrifying fiend running over from not far away.
That fiend was about two meters tall and covered in wretched green scales. It resembled a cow and had red eyes and a bloody mouth. It ran over to the blood-stained spot where Ruan Qiuqiu had covered up with dirt and roared. Its roar was ear-piercing.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t dare to look anymore. She quickly cut a piece of ginger, squeezed ginger juice on her body and the entrance to the passageway, and then she quickly resumed crawling out of the passageway.
The two of them didn’t dare to stop on their way back until they reached the hole in the tree and blocked the passageway with stones.
Thinking of the fiend that she had recently seen, Ruan Qiuqiu had lingering fears. Little Yu was in the same state. The two of them sat in the hole in the tree for many seconds before recovering.
“Was that a fiend just now?” After Little Yu calmed down, he was actually somewhat excited. “It’s my first time seeing a fiend!”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “… Don’t talk about this anymore. Let’s check our harvest first.”
Although she had been the main force this time, Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t think to take everything for herself. If Little Yu hadn’t told her about this spot, she wouldn’t have gotten such a big harvest.
Ruan Qiuqiu took everything out to divide it with Little Yu.
