Chapter 99 - Thoughts

Huanhuan never dreamed that there would be an unknown mineral vein hidden under the rock mountain!

She told this to the three male beasts at home.

Then, everyone fell into shock.

When everyone finally recovered, they were stuck with another problem.

Should they dig this vein?

Bai Di analyzed calmly. “If we have to dig the mine out of the ground, it might cause the mountain to sink. In serious cases, it might even collapse.”

1

If the rock mountain was destroyed, not only would they have nowhere to live, but they would also lose the vegetable fields and orchards that they had worked so hard to manage at the foot of the mountain.

1

Everyone was reluctant.

Sang Ye added, “Digging is not a small matter. Once we start digging, we’ll definitely alarm the other tribes in the vicinity. Not to mention the distant ones, we definitely won’t be able to hide it from the birds living on the mountaintop.”

Bai Di nodded. “Once more people know about the mine, it’ll cause countless problems. We’ll have to pay a high price to guard it.”

Huanhuan asked hesitantly, “Are we not digging it, then?”

1

The three of them paused and looked at Shuang Yun in unison.

Shuang Yun was the leader of the Rock Wolf Tribe. The rock mountain belonged to him. He had the most right to decide if they should dig into the ground and mine.

After a moment of silence, Shuang Yun said, “Although crystals are very tempting, our lives are pretty good now. We don’t need to cause any more trouble.”

1

Compared to his wealth, he cherished his current days more.

Since he had already said so, Bai Di and Sang Ye naturally had no objections. They nodded in agreement.

Huanhuan moved her lips, but in the end, nothing came out.

From the perspective of the overall situation, there was no problem with Shuang Yun’s decision. Huanhuan did not want to force the entire tribe to move just because of a mission.

She thought that she should forget it and look elsewhere. Perhaps there were other mineral veins elsewhere.

Anyway, there were still three months!

…

Early in the morning, Shuang Yun brought the male beasts out to hunt. Sang Ye went to work.

Bai Di stayed at home with Huanhuan.

The attentive Bai Di realized that his little female seemed to have something on her mind. He asked a few probing questions, but he couldn’t get an answer from her.

Bai Di went over everything that had happened in the past few days and realized that Huanhuan had been fine until yesterday. Only today did she show signs of abnormality.

2

He thought for a moment and immediately thought of the discussion about the mineral vein last night.

Did Huanhuan have any other thoughts about the mineral vein?

Huanhuan had no idea that Bai Di had seen through her thoughts.

She hugged his arm and blinked. “I’m so bored at home. Can you take me out?”

1

“Where do you want to go?”

“Anywhere. I’m not picky.”

‘It would be good for her to get some air,’ Bai Di thought. Maybe the little female would be willing to share her thoughts when she was happy.

2

He transformed into a white tiger and carried Huanhuan down the mountain. When they passed by the vegetable field, Huanhuan waved at Sang Ye, who was still watering the plants.

“We’re going for a walk. We might be back late. You don’t have to wait for us for lunch!”

Unexpectedly, Sang Ye slithered over and lowered his huge snake head. He stopped in front of Huanhuan and looked at her. “I want to go too.”

2

Huanhuan pointed to the vegetable patch. “But don’t you have to water it?”

“I can water it when I get back.”

Not far away, the male beasts who heard them laughed. “Huanhuan, bring Sang Ye along to play! Leave the watering to us. You don’t have to worry!”

1

Huanhuan thanked them, then touched the snake head in front of her. “Alright, let’s go together.”

Sang Ye opened his mouth and licked her face.

Bai Di walked slower, his feet silent on the grass.

Huanhuan sat cross-legged on his back, holding the small compass in her hand. She kept her eyes on the needle on it.

It first pointed at the rock mountain. Only when it was far away did it return to its initial position.

Sang Ye saw a bird’s nest in the tree. The big bird was not at home, and there were about 20 white eggs in the nest.

He darted up the tree and swept all the bird eggs away with his snake tongue.

From the neatness of his movements, it was obvious that he was a repeat offender. He must have done many things like this in the past.

Most snake beasts liked to eat bird eggs, and Sang Ye was no exception. Every time he hunted, he would check if there were any bird nests on the nearby trees. If there were, he would definitely empty them out.

This time was no exception.

Sang Ye brought all the eggs to Huanhuan as if he were presenting a treasure.

1

However, Huanhuan kept staring at the compass and did not notice his movements at all.

1

Sang Ye was a little unhappy. He flicked out his snake tongue and took the compass from her hand.

1

Huanhuan immediately looked up at him. “Why did you take it away? Give it back to me!”

Sang Ye held the eggs in front of her. “Eat these.”

Huanhuan was a little surprised. “Where did you get so many eggs?”

“I took it from the tree.”

Huanhuan waved her hand. “I’m not eating them. Keep them for yourself.”

Unexpectedly, Sang Ye’s face darkened when he heard her words.

Usually, he looked gloomy. Now, he looked even more terrifying.

“If you don’t like them, then I don’t want them either.”

1

With that, he was about to smash all the bird eggs.

Huanhuan quickly pulled him back. “Don’t throw them!”

It would be a pity to smash all these eggs!

She picked up a bird egg at random. “I can take this one. You can share the rest with Bai Di.”

1

Sang Ye picked out the largest bird egg and stuffed it into Huanhuan’s hand. “This is for you too.”

1

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Then, Sang Ye picked out the smallest bird egg and gave it to Bai Di.

1

The white tiger looked back at him. “Thank you, but I don’t like eggs.”

1

In fact, except for the snake beasts with unique tastes, most beasts did not like eggs.

It was not chewy and tasted strange.

Sang Ye immediately took the bird egg back. It was fine if Bai Di didn’t eat it. Besides, he was reluctant when he had to give it to Bai Di.

1

He casually threw the bird egg into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Huanhuan looked at him in surprise. “Why did you eat the eggshell too?!”

Sang Ye said matter-of-factly, “Eggshell is delicious and very crunchy!”

Huanhuan couldn’t speak.

She patted the white tiger on the back. “Stop by the rock in front.”

It was midday, and the sun was strong. There were no trees near the stones to shield them from the heat.

Huanhuan cracked the egg onto the rock.

The stone immediately sizzled, and a rich charred fragrance filled the air.

Not only Sang Ye but even Bai Di, who didn’t like eggs, couldn’t help but take a sniff. It smelled so good!

He did not expect smelly bird eggs to suddenly smell so good!
