Sang Ye said, “We want aprons too.”

His face was expressionless. He always looked cold, but this look made her heart soften.

Huanhuan had no choice but to take out the two aprons she had just made for them.

Bai Di and Sang Ye put on their aprons and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Sang Ye’s cooking method was simple and crude.

He cut all the vegetables into pieces and threw them into the pot. He just had to boil them.

Huanhuan was used to Bai Di’s delicacies, so she was not used to such rough food.

However, for Sang Ye’s sake, she still braced herself and ate until she was 80% full.

She silently comforted herself that at least Sang Ye could cook the meat. If it were Shuang Yun cooking, it was common to have still-bloody meat. Sometimes, she could even fish out stones, chicken feathers, pieces of wood, and a series of other strange things from the pot.

In short, it really took courage to eat Shuang Yun’s food.

Shuang Yun and the wolf cubs didn’t return until dark.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t bring back any prey today.

This was too different from any other usual day. Huanhuan was about to ask them what was going on when she heard Shuang Yun say with a serious expression, “We encountered beasts infected with dead blood disease in the forest today.”

......

Huanhuan was shocked.

The others stopped what they were doing and looked at Shuang Yun at the same time.

Shuang Yun recounted what had happened that afternoon.

It turned out that they had accidentally encountered two sneaky beasts during the hunt.

At first, Shuang Yun didn’t take the other party seriously, but the two beasts took the initiative to approach. They even showed their claws to the wolf cubs hiding in the bushes and preparing to attack their prey.

Shuang Yun reacted quickly. Before the other party could touch the wolf cubs, he threw the two beasts to the ground.

Only then did he realize that the two beasts looked very strange.

Not only were their faces pale, but they were also hues of green and black. Their eyes were white, and they had no pupils. Saliva kept flowing from the corners of their mouths. Their movements were very stiff.

The stench coming from them was nauseating.

Shuang Yun quickly understood that the other party was infected with dead blood disease. He directly killed the two unlucky beasts and burned their corpses.

After this accident, Shuang Yun was no longer in the mood to hunt. Hence, he immediately brought the children home.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a few more beasts who were infected with the dead blood disease on their way back. In addition, there was a fully armed demon army.

Shuang Yun immediately hid with the children and secretly observed the demon army.

There were more than 30 demon beasts, and each of them was covered in strange demonic patterns.

They seemed to be looking for something. After circling the area and not finding what they were looking for, they turned around and left.

The remaining beasts who were infected with the dead blood disease wandered in the forest.

The few of them were no threat to Shuang Yun, who easily finished them off.

This delayed a lot of time. By the time Shuang Yun brought the children home, the sun had already set.

After hearing Shuang Yun’s story, everyone’s hearts sank.

The appearance of beasts infected with the dead blood disease in the forest meant that the disease had spread to the forest and would soon extend to the rock mountain again.

And what was the purpose of the sudden appearance of the demon army?

Huanhuan was very worried. “Don’t tell me they were sent by Han Ying?”

The last time, Han Ying had taken Sang Ye away, but not long after, Sang Ye was saved by Bai Di and the others.

Han Ying must have refused to give up, thus he sent people to look for Sang Ye and take revenge on Huanhuan, Bai Di, and the others. This assumption sounded reasonable.

But Sang Ye said, “It’s not that simple.”

Everyone looked puzzled and gestured for him to continue.

Sang Ye said, “Uncle knows his motives and goals very well. With his personality, he’d definitely come straight for the rock mountain if he wanted to capture me. He wouldn’t do anything else.”

But now, Han Ying had yet to show himself. Only the troops of the demon race were acting in secret, as well as the dead blood disease that was wreaking havoc everywhere…

With so many things added together, it seemed the goal was not to capture Sang Ye and take revenge.

Bai Di said, “No matter what, we can’t just sit here and wait for death.”

Huanhuan asked, “What do you want to do?”

“Let’s not talk about the distant ones. Let’s just get rid of all those suffering from dead blood disease in the forest first. We can’t let them spread the dead blood disease to the rock mountain.”

Shuang Yun nodded in agreement.

Bai Di said, “As for the demon army, let’s find out where they are first. Let’s not act rashly for the time being and observe what they’re up to.”

If their target wasn’t the rock mountain, so be it.

However, if they really wanted to harm the Rock Wolf Tribe, they had to strike first and get rid of those demon beasts!

Before long, Xue Ling returned.

Bai Di told him what they had just discussed.

Xue Ling said, “I’ll talk to Shen Yan later and ask him to send a few hummingbird beasts to the forest to investigate the whereabouts of those demons.”

Hummingbirds were very small and flew extremely fast. They were difficult to spot when they moved through the forest. They were perfect for scouting.

Shuang Yun nodded. “I’ll get Craw Craw to look into it too.”

As a mole, Craw Craw was very good at tracking and eavesdropping. Craw Craw had played an important role in the war with the Black River Tribe.

After discussing business, it was time to make dinner again.

Bai Di and Sang Ye made lunch today. Logically speaking, Xue Ling and Shuang Yun should make dinner.

Shuang Yun looked very interested in this task. He quickly put on his apron and strode into the kitchen. “Just watch. I’ll definitely make a dinner that you’ll never forget!”

Huanhuan was shocked and quickly hugged his arm. “We won’t forget every meal you’ve ever made. Don’t cook tonight.”

Shuang Yun was unhappy. “Are you looking down on my cooking?”

“No, no, no. I just don’t think my stomach can take your cooking. Put down the kitchen knife quickly. Let’s talk outside the kitchen, okay?”

“Why? I have work to do.”

Huanhuan pushed him aside and took out vegetables and meat from her space. She said with great certainty, “You just have to wash the vegetables.”

Shuang Yun felt that it was a waste of his talent if he just washed vegetables.

However, due to his love for his little female, he obediently squatted in the corner and began to wash the vegetables.

Huanhuan stuffed the kitchen knife into Xue Ling’s hand. “You cook.”

The corners of Xue Ling’s mouth curled up. “Kiss me and I’ll be in charge of cooking.”
