136 Asking for Pats

Chu Liuyue’s words unsettled Gu Mingzhu, making her cry out sharply. “Chu Liuyue, wh-what do you want?! I’m telling you that I’m the Gu family’s Gu family. If anything happens to me, they’ll never let you off!”

Chu Liuyue could not be bothered with her. “Make her shut up.”

Gu Mingfeng looked around and ripped out a section of the sleeve from Gu Mingzhu’s shirt. He crumpled it into a ball and shoved it in her mouth.

Gu Mingzhu felt embarrassed and upset by her exposed arm. She tried to cry out, only to find that she was gagged and could not speak.

Gu Mingfeng suddenly looked at her.

Gu Mingzhu immediately thought of the slap from earlier, and she instinctively kept quiet. Gu Mingfeng seems exceptionally quiet and aggressive today. I even feel that Gu Mingfeng might actually kill me if he is provoked!

At the end of the day, Gu Mingzhu valued her life. She chose to keep quiet.

Chu Liuyue ground the golden mane bear’s pearl of essence into powder. She added two herbs that could help with recovery and blood production to the mixture before feeding it to Mu Hongyu.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that the golden mane bear is dead. If not, it would be great if we could hunt and tame it,” said Cen Hu. “That’s a fourth-grade fiend after all!”

Chu Liuyue curled her lips. “That golden mane bear is a mother bear that has been angered. There is no chance of taming her. You would only create problems for yourself if you kept her by your side.”

Cen Hu laughed. “Just kidding! It was either the bear that died or us. Of course, we had to end its life!”

Mu Hongyu agreed as she leaned against a tree with her non-injured shoulder. “Yeah, a fourth-grade fiend is a rare sight… Now that all of us are hurt, it’s going to be tough to take down a fiend of this grade.”

They finally ran into one, but it was a death trap brought by Gu Mingzhu.

Chu Liuyue and Gu Mingfeng were in better shape, but Mu Hongyu and Cen Hu’s injuries were rather serious. They probably would not get much out of their time in Wan Ling Mountain this time.

“Sigh, I wanted a fourth-grade fiend. I guess there’s no hope now…”

However, Chu Liuyue suddenly knocked on her head. “Who says that there’s no hope?”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Mu Hongyu’s eyes widened. “Wait… are you going to help me hunt for one?”

She had been tied up since yesterday. She could not lie down nor sit down. She stood all night and looked more haggard than ever. However, Chu Liuyue did not let her leave. Instead, she forced her to divulge the whereabouts of the golden mane bear cub. She could do nothing else but bring them here.

As if noticing the commotion, a noise came from the nest, like something was moving.

A small round head peeked out.

“It really is a golden mane bear cub!” Mu Hongyu cried out.

The cub was only the size of an adult human’s forearm. Its fur was still a light gray, only the ring of fur around its neck was a little darker. It was clearly a newborn. As it grew, its fur would turn into a golden-brown.

It blinked and curiously looked at Chu Liuyue and the others as it scratched its round ears as if it were confused by what was happening. Finally, its eyes landed on Mu Hongyu, and it stretched out its arms.

Mu Hongyu’s eyes widened. “W-what does it mean? D-does it want me to pick it up?”

Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment before saying, “Perhaps it’s because you consumed the mother bear’s pearl of essence. Therefore, it feels a familiar aura coming from you. That’s why it’s especially close to you.”
