13: I guessed

"Father Beast!" Aqi's tone was very excited.

"Hmm?" White Fox lowered his head, and more of his hair fell out from his cloak.

"He actually apologized to me..." Aqi was still very puzzled. He looked back, then grabbed White Fox's hand and held it.

White Fox looked down and smiled gently at him, "Father Beast was just scaring him; he got frightened."

"Is that so?" Aqi asked again, "Father Beast, why didn't we take the good meat?"

White Fox smiled gently, "Because your Pretty Older Sister, she really likes to eat these."

"Huh? Pretty Older Sister really likes to eat these? I thought you were making it up."

"Father Beast, how do you know what Pretty Older Sister likes to eat? I don't even know."

"I guessed it." White Fox was silent for a moment, then handed the meat in his hands to Aqi, "Aqi, clean them up; I'm going to go pick up some firewood."

After White Fox and his son left, those few Beast Warriors surrounded Hu Wu.

"Captain, what's going on with you? Why are you afraid of White Fox? Did he threaten you?"

Hu Wu gritted his teeth and finally said, "That White Fox is not simple; don't provoke him in the future!"

But the other Beast Warriors didn't believe it.

"Captain, are you mistaken? White Fox is just an ordinary beastman who doesn't even have beast markings. His combat power is about the same as a wild beast. Look, every time we hunt, he's always the last one. And every time he can only catch Gugu Beasts and Gaga Beasts. With that little bit of combat power, what are you afraid of?"

Hu Wu looked at these Beast Warriors. They hadn't faced the pressure and intimidation given by White Fox head-on, so they couldn't understand his feelings.

The moment he looked at him, the pressure Hu Wu felt from White Fox was like a great mountain crushing down; he felt his bones and flesh being crushed inch by inch.

It seemed that as long as he wanted to, not to mention an arm, he could easily take his life.

It was too terrifying. Even Three-Striped Beast Warriors had never given him such pressure.

Hu Wu could only say, "But don't forget, whenever White Fox goes hunting, he always brings back a small wild beast."

Although it's not much, and it's just a small wild beast, he definitely won't return empty-handed.

The more he thought about White Fox's depth, the less he could understand it, "Let's not talk about what the outsiders are saying. Thinking back now, Hu Zi must have wanted to mate with White Fox, perhaps not just because he looks good. Be smart, don't end up being someone else's sharp claws without even knowing how it happened."

"Yes!"

Nan Zhisui and the Wolf King arrived at the Wolf King's cave together.

She deftly disinfected the Mother Wolf's wounds, then fed her anti-inflammatory medicine again.

Only then did she begin to observe the Wolf King's six Little Cubs.

Five of the cubs were strong and could easily find milk to eat.

But the weakest one, Little Sixth, was not doing well. The Mother Wolf's limited milk was all snatched away by its five older brothers, and because it couldn't snatch milk and didn't have enough strength to nurse, its weight was much smaller than the other five.

Nan Zhisui took out goat milk powder from her space and began to mix it to supplement its feeding.

The Wolf King and the Mother Wolf both looked at Nan Zhisui, their eyes revealing a trace of confusion.

They didn't understand why Nan Zhisui wanted to save this Little Cub several times.

In the process of feeding the Little Cub, ripples slowly stirred in Nan Zhisui's heart.

In the eyes of the Wolf King and his mate, this Little Sixth was born with a poor constitution and would grow up to be a weak wolf. A weak wolf couldn't hunt prey, would be a burden to the pack, and would easily be preyed upon by powerful wild beasts in the future.

So, why feed it? Why save it?

With only so little resources, it would be better to just let the strong cubs survive.

The Law of the jungle.

Nan Zhisui thought while pushing the syringe to feed the milk...

In human society, the life and death of pets mostly depend on humans.

They don't need to hunt, and they won't be hunted. Whether they are strong is not that important; as long as they can live to please humans, that's enough.

But wild beasts are different; they face life and death challenges every moment. Weak wild beasts are destined to become food.

Then her... behavior of saving it at this moment, did it violate the Law of nature? Was it... a futile effort?

Nan Zhisui was confused for a few seconds, but after seeing the Little fellow trying hard to drink the milk, her mindset changed.

She saved it, giving it a chance to live. It was what she should do as a Veterinarian; it was her duty.

As for the future, even strong wolves might be hunted, so why shouldn't a weak wolf have a chance to try to survive?

Since she had chosen to intervene, she would be the one to give it a chance.

After Nan Zhisui finished supplementing its milk, she returned it to the Mother Wolf.

She also fed the Mother Wolf some goat milk powder and nutritional paste, then stroked the Mother Wolf's head. "You've worked hard."

The Mother Wolf gently nudged Nan Zhisui's head and let out a soft howl.

The Wolf King was still sleeping soundly nearby. Nan Zhisui was about to leave and called out twice, but the Wolf King didn't hear her.

The Mother Wolf endured her abdominal pain and stood up, bit the Wolf King hard, and then scolded, "Awooo awooo!"

The Wolf King woke up with a start, hurriedly looked around in a panic, and only then realized it was time to take Nan Zhisui away.

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but chuckle, "I misunderstood you before. So you're actually henpecked."

The Wolf King's tail, which was pointing down, wagged slightly twice, and it crouched down to let Nan Zhisui sit on its back.

Nan Zhisui, who was preparing to return to Stone Village on the Wolf King's back, suddenly remembered what Aqi had said in the morning.

That Little Cub said he wanted to treat her to something to eat.

Since she was going to be a guest at someone's home, it definitely wouldn't be good to go empty-handed.

Nan Zhisui said, "Little brother, run a little slower on the way back, I want to see if there are any wild vegetables by the roadside."

The Wolf King couldn't understand everything, but it could understand a little bit, so it didn't run fast on the way back.

On the way back, Nan Zhisui really found a kind of wild vegetable around the roots of an unknown tree.

"Stop! Is this a tea tree mushroom? So many!"

Nan Zhisui jumped off the Wolf King's back.

Although there was food in her space, she didn't know how long she would stay in the Beast World, and the food in her space would decrease the more she used it, so it was best to keep it as emergency supplies. Usually, it was better to find food herself.

Nan Zhisui lowered her head to pick the tea tree mushrooms and examined them repeatedly. "I'm sure it's a tea tree mushroom."

Nan Zhisui took out a disposable plastic bag from her space and started to pack the tea tree mushrooms.

Little Snake Yang didn't understand, "Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss hiss..." Pretty Older Sister, are you gathering these to eat? But I have seen beastmen die after eating things like this. You can't eat them.

Although Nan Zhisui couldn't understand him, she could understand the little snake's questioning look.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry. This is not only edible but also especially delicious. When we dry it later, we can store it as dried goods, and later we can add some when roasting meat or chicken."

After speaking, Nan Zhisui also discovered a bird's nest.

She nimbly climbed the tree and found a few fresh bird eggs.

"Yo, found a few bird eggs, can add a meal for Little Snake, Aqi, and the sickly one."
