Chun Xiaoman continued to help Bai Lingmiao wipe. "I don't think it's a big deal. You've already consummated your marriage with Li Huowang. What can't you say? Don't shrink back, stand up straight."

"..." Shy Bai Lingmiao could only respond in silence.

She still thought that this kind of private matter couldn't be shared with others.

After these women had been frolicking in the water for a long time, they returned with their washed clothes only when it was almost dark.

It was dark, and everyone was tired after setting off before dawn. Except for the night watch, they all went to bed early.

"I have a lot of hair, so I can only dry it halfway. Don't be disgusted." In the bed, Bai Lingmiao opened her arms and hugged Chun Xiaoman tightly, happily burying her face in her thick black hair and rubbing against it. "How could I be? I really like Xiaoman-jie."

Chun Xiaoman naturally lifted her furry legs and rubbed them against the other's naked body.

"Haha, don't do that, Xiaoman-jie. I'm afraid of being tickled."

"Do you like me? But I can't compare to your senior brother Li. I'm afraid that when I fall asleep, I'll wear a bellyband and sneak into Li senior brother's bed."

"Li senior brother is still injured. I'm going to take care of him."

"Does he still need to be taken care of like that? Besides that, I don't think there's anything else you can do for him."

"Xiaoman-jie... why are you like this too..."

Just as the two were whispering in the bed, they suddenly saw a figure sneaking towards the river.

"Who is that?"

"Who else could it be? Sun Baolu, he's always like this. He never bathes with others. He's even more afraid of being watched than us women."

That night, except for the distant howling of wolves, there was no sound all night.

The next morning, Li Huowang slowly opened his eyes while holding Bai Lingmiao.

"Senior brother Li, did you have a nightmare?" Bai Lingmiao caressed his chin with her soft fingers, feeling sorry for him.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Li Huowang, with some dark circles under his eyes, sat up and looked towards the Women's Mountain again. His alertness slightly eased.

"I didn't reveal any flaws at that time, and those people were apprentices. Besides, it's been two days now. Regardless of whether the Lion Dance Palace is good or bad, we should be safe."

After washing up, Sun Baolu brought a bowl of brown liquid to Li Huowang. "Senior brother Li, it's breakfast."

"What is this?" Li Huowang's keen sense of smell made him involuntarily lean back. It was too fishy.

"It's a mixture of fresh goat's milk and fresh goat's blood with some salt. It tastes good and is good for wound recovery." After taking a sip, he picked it up again and brought it to Li Huowang's face.Li Huowang took a sip and almost vomited, but he forced himself to drink the milk-blood mixture with disgust.

It was nutritious, but really hard to swallow.

Sun Baolu stood excitedly and said, "Li Shixiong, you see, I was right. As long as we bring enough sheep, we won't have to worry about meals anymore."

Li Huowang wiped his mouth with his sleeve and handed the bowl to him. "Alright, stop talking. We should be close to your home after leaving the Women's Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baolu immediately brightened up. "Yes, yes! Let's go! They are ahead!"

Although the blue sky and green earth looked the same to Li Huowang and the others, Sun Baolu saw something different.

"Look! The mountain over there! I let the sheep graze there! My left molar was broken there!"

"I saw a white wolf in the east! I'm not lying, a white wolf! My parents said there were no white wolves, but I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Look at this! Can you see the marks under the grass? They are the traces left by our tribe when we set up tents! It's unmistakable!"

As Sun Baolu became more and more excited, they got closer and closer. In the last two days, Sun Baolu couldn't sleep and took on all the night watch duties.

Finally, after they crossed a small hill, they saw a white patch among the green in the distance. It was the sheep, and there were also some black spots, which were the cows.

Next to the sheep were a large group of tents and tiny figures like ants.

"Ah!!" Sun Baolu shouted in Qingqiu language, tears streaming down his face. He left the others behind and ran towards them.

As Li Huowang and the others approached slowly, they saw Sun Baolu being surrounded by Qingqiu people, crying and hugging them tightly.

Although Li Huowang didn't understand Qingqiu language, he could hear the strong emotions in their voices.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang felt a warmth in his heart. He was happier about Sun Baolu's family's attitude towards him than finally sending Sun Baolu home.

At this moment, Li Huowang saw a Qingqiu woman walking out of a nearby tent with a milk pot in her hand.

When she saw Sun Baolu, her expression froze, and she threw the milk pot to the ground.

Sun Baolu looked over at the sound and cried when he saw the woman.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two hugged each other and cried out loud.

"So, this kid wasn't lying...there really is a woman waiting for him..." Gouwa said sourly.

As they hugged each other, an old man with a colorful ring around his neck walked over, trembling.He said something to Sun Baolu in Qingqiu language, and it seemed that his status was highly respected here. His words finally calmed the two of them down.

After talking with the old man for a while, Sun Baolu came to Li Huowang with excitement and put his arm around his shoulder, speaking to his own people.

Li Huowang couldn't understand what they were saying due to the language barrier.

But when the grilled lamb chops with steam and honey water were brought to him, he understood their intention.

Since there was a full meat feast, how could the others resist? Seeing that Li Huowang had no intention of refusing, they grabbed the food with both hands.

The bonfire rose, and the group of people surrounded Sun Baolu, shouting and drinking. Sun Baolu, holding a cup in each hand, responded fiercely, constantly spinning around.

Li Huowang looked at all this, picked up the horn cup and took a sip. "Is this honey? It's really sweet, and not at all greasy."

"This isn't honey, it's ant honey, honey made by ants. It's better and rarer than honey."

Li Huowang looked up and saw a beautiful woman. Although she was wearing the skin of the Qingqiu people, her fair skin proved that she was not a local.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

The woman saw Li Huowang looking at her, and her eyes turned red. She squatted down on the ground and was about to kowtow to him.

"Thank you, Master Li! Thank you for traveling a thousand miles to bring my son home."
