"As long as I, Luo Fengtang, am alive for a day, I will protect you for a day!"

"If there is one who cannot protect you, then I am dead..."

"Don't say that word!"

Yang Ruqing suddenly spoke.

The other hand covered his mouth, his expression a bit nervous.

“There are gods above our heads, so don't talk nonsense about life and death!” Her tone held a hint of reproach.

Once she was a staunch atheist.

Since crossing over, her faith has been shaken.

Planning is human, but accomplishment is heaven's. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Many things don't always go according to plan.

In the depths of existence, as if an invisible hand were guiding and intervening in all things.

That intangible big hand is Heaven's Will.

Luofeng Tang saw the nervousness in her eyes and a warm smile spread across his face.

>

He didn't know if Qing'er also cherished him.

But he could see that Qinger had feelings for him too.

Otherwise, I won't do those things for him.

He pulled her up, "Qinger, it's my fault. I lost the wood ear mushrooms."

“Wait here, I’ll climb up and look some more. Maybe there are even taller places with cow's hoof mushrooms!”

He said, rolling up his sleeves to climb the tree again, when Yang Ruqing stopped him.

"This time we'll let it go, this tree can't escape anyway, we'll come back next time."

Yang Ruqing advised.

>

The sun has set, we should go back.

Upon hearing this, Luofeng Tang raised her head to glance at the setting sun in the west and could only give up.

"Alright, then let's do it another day."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hmm!"

The two people had tidied up the things on the ground and were just about to go down the mountain.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Suddenly, a movement was sensed beyond the cliff.

It's like something is coming up from the bottom of the cliff.

Luo Fengtang's expression suddenly tightened.

As he dragged Yang Ruoqing behind him, the bow in his hand was already nocked with an arrow.

Aimed at the direction where the movement came from, the longbow was drawn to full moon —

A tuft of white hair first appeared.

Luofeng Tang's finger moved, and the feather arrow was about to fly out in an instant.

Yang Ruqing behind him suddenly said, "Wait!"

Before the words had left his mouth, a white figure sprang from the edge of the cliff, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air.

Then, it landed firmly on the ground and proudly raised its head.

Its snow-white fur was stained with a few streaks of crimson.

His mouth was open, but he had a yellowish-brown, hoof-shaped object in it.

"Chase the clouds!"

Yang Ruqing cried out in surprise and ran towards it.

But it put down the tree ear mushroom in its mouth, and its body leaped backward, bouncing onto the rock over there.

Toward Luo Fengtang, he grinned menacingly, his neck bristling with hair along the spine.

Yang Ruqing picked up the wood ear mushroom from the ground and glanced at the standoff between the man and the dog.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, don't be so on edge. We're all friends."

She stood in the middle, smiling and trying to ease the tension.

But the man and the dog were still staring each other down, as if neither of them wanted to back down first.

"Tang Ya Zi, put down your bow and arrow, Zhu Yun brought us cow's hoof mushroom!"

Yang Ruqing walked over and lightly patted Luofeng Tang.

Luo Fengtang then slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.

He had never seen such a soulful beast before.

It's just like a human.

Deep in this mountain forest, dealing with such a clever beast, he couldn't relax his guard.

He didn't want Yang Ruqing to get too close to it, but, he hadn't had time to stop her.

She had already dashed to the big rock in three steps and two.

And she hugged it tightly.

>

“Zhuiyun, you're really something, you helped me get the cow mushroom back!”

She excitedly praised it.

Hearing her praise, the spines on its back, which had been standing on end, lay flat.

"Awooo..."

It raised its head and let out a joyful bark, its tail wagging gently.

Yang Ruqing saw blood on its white fur and her brow furrowed.

"You were pecked by an eagle? Quick, let me see the wound!"

She reached out her hand, but it took a step back.

Then it turned its head and stuck out a pink little tongue to lick the fur on its body.

His hair was instantly renewed, white and spotless.

“Oh, it’s just dyed with eagle blood! I was startled,”

Yang Ruqing patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It triumphantly 'hummed' a little.

That gaze, as if saying, "Just a broken bird, how could you possibly be my opponent?"

Yang Ruqing doesn't understand animal language.

>

But she understood the look in his eyes - arrogant and smug.

She chuckled and patted its head.

“My Zhuiyun is really amazing! You beat the hawk and got back the agaricus, how about I reward you with a wild chicken?”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing this, Zhuiyun's eyes lit up.

Her gaze followed Yang Ruqing.

Seeing her turn and walk back to the big guy beside her, she said a few words to him.

and from the big man’s waist, he took off a wild goose and returned.

　　Chuiyun excitedly bounced on the rocks, licking his tongue and wagging his tail.

Yang Ruqing smiled and tapped its forehead playfully.

“Haha, you're a foodie too.”

"Here's your wild chicken, and next time you go into the mountains, I'll bring you some roasted bones!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Having bid farewell to Chasing Clouds, Yang Ruocheng and Luo Fengtang no longer delayed.

The two of them, spurred on by their determination, went down the mountain in one go.

>

On the road, Yang Ruqing touched the cow's hoof mushroom hidden on her body several times, her mouth couldn't close from happiness.

Luo Fengtang was also very happy.

But there was still more surprise.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“Chasing Clouds is frighteningly intelligent!” Luo Fengtang exclaimed.

“Of all the beasts I've dealt with over the years, the wolf king is the most intelligent and cunning!”

>

He continued.

"Zhui Yun is so young and already possesses such wisdom. When he grows up, he will be extraordinary!"

Hearing that Luofengtang gave Zhuyun such a high evaluation, Yang Ruohui was very happy.

It must have followed us all the way to the summit and saw the eagle snatch the agaric.

“That eagle was so ferocious, I wonder how Yun managed to defeat it and reclaim the agarwood.”

She pondered.

However, its gratitude far surpasses that of many ungrateful humans!

"I admire Zhuoyun very much, and I like it very much," she said.

"If you liked it, why not catch it and keep it as a pet?" Luofengtang asked.

Yang Ruqing shook her head.

"Liking something doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess it," she said.

“Chasing clouds belongs to these vast mountains. Taking it back with me, keeping it like a domesticated dog, it wouldn't be happy,” she said.

Luo Fengtang nodded.

He remained silent throughout the journey.

I keep replaying Yang Ruqing's words in my mind.

>

To like something doesn't necessarily mean to possess it...

All along the way, he had something on his mind.

He made his feelings clear to Qing'er at the summit.

He treasured her.

But she did not give a clear response.

He wasn't feeling very cheerful on his journey.

I really want to call her and ask for clarification.

But at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly understood something.

To like something, doesn't necessarily mean to possess it.

If you like Qing'er, stay with her and protect her.

To prevent her from being bullied and to make her happy, wouldn't that fulfill one's original intention?

A sense of openness filled his chest, and Luofengtang's eyes brightened instantly.
