Xia Muqing was speechless.

Did the rhinoceros not realize that it didn’t jump into the Netherworld River?

“Does your body hurt?” Xia Muqing asked helplessly.

It wanted to answer that it was hurting, but it didn’t.

Recalling that it had actually spoken to Xia Muqing just now, it suddenly screamed again. “Flower, I’m in pain! I’m hallucinating from the pain. I actually understood what you said.”

The other beasts weren’t as paranoid as the rhinoceros and they looked at Xia Muqing in confusion.

“I ate a Beast Soul Pearl, so I can talk to all of you now.”

All the beasts looked at Xia Muqing with envy.

The Beast Soul Pearl! That was the most precious treasure of all beasts!

Xia Muqing then explained to the beasts what happened when she went deep into the mountains.

After everything was explained, Xia Muqing thanked the beasts solemnly.

All the beasts scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Xia Muqing was even more touched by their honest behavior.

They were really a group of beasts with hearts.

“So I didn’t jump into the Netherworld River!”

The rhinoceros’s realization ruined the atmosphere again.

All the beasts and Xia Muqing burst out laughing at the rhinoceros.

It knew it had made a fool of itself, and in the end, it laughed along with them too.

All sorts of laughter resounded through the forest.

Although their voices were different, what was similar was the happiness that they emitted from within.

All the beasts etched this moment in their hearts.

When they become old, they would tell their grandchildren about it.

It was a pity that their descendants wouldn’t have the chance to meet this human girl.

On the way back, Xia Muqing informed the green snake about her finding the white ginseng.

The green snake was overjoyed.

It slithered excitedly in one direction.

Xia Muqing trailed behind slowly.

After walking a long distance, the green snake finally remembered to update Xia Muqing.

The white snake’s body had become much better after this period of recuperation.

The green snake was preparing to move out of the underground cave.

After all, beasts were still used to living on the ground.

In the past, it had no choice. But now, it didn’t want to let the white snake suffer anymore.

It had planned to move after some time.

But when something happened to Xia Muqing, the green snake was prepared to sacrifice its life to save her.

So it brought the white snake to the new home that it had prepared.

Xia Muqing was even more touched.

While they were talking, they saw the white snake waiting at the entrance of a cave.

Although the green snake didn’t explain in detail, the white snake could still sense something.

Seeing that the green snake hadn’t returned, it had waited anxiously.

Spotting the green snake and Xia Muqing from afar, the white snake’s eyes lit up and it charged towards the green snake.

Xia Muqing quickly stepped aside. Indeed, she was right.

The white snake immediately took her position and intertwined with the green snake.

Xia Muqing reached out a hand to cover the black eagle’s eyes.

She guessed that the black eagle was probably still a minor amongst the eagle tribe.

After she placed her hand on the black eagle’s eyes, she realized that its eyes were too big. Her hand wasn’t enough.

Xia Muqing quietly added her other hand.

This time, she covered its eyes tightly.

This was the first time the black eagle had seen such a scene. Just as it was engrossed, its vision suddenly turned black and it couldn’t see anything.

It couldn’t help but twist its neck and struggle.

But it didn’t succeed and it didn’t dare to struggle too hard. It wouldn’t be good if it hurt Xia Muqing.

It could only lower its head gloomily.

When it lowered its head, it glimpsed a waterhole on the ground that perfectly reflected the image of the green and white snake entangled together.

Xia Muqing hadn’t expected nor was she prepared for that.

The black eagle looked quietly under Xia Muqing’s watch.

By the time Xia Muqing realized, the green snake had already let go of the white snake.

Xia Muqing could only glare at the naughty black eagle.

The white snake hid behind the green snake in embarrassment.

The joy of surviving a calamity made it forget that there was someone around.
