Chapter 437 Departure to the South
The expedition lasted one night.
Lin Baiyan tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.
The snow season in the north is always exceptionally cold, especially at night. The houses in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts are very well built, airtight and the heat won't escape, but Lin Baiyan still felt a bit cold in the quilt.
He wrapped himself completely in the animal skin blanket, and suddenly remembered what Yang Ye had said to him earlier that day: leader and faith...
"If Lang Cang were here..." Lin Baiyan murmured to himself.
If Lang Cang were here, he would have tucked Lin Baiyan's feet into his arms without a word, and then smirked and teased him for being completely useless without him.
He was tall and had a fiery temper, always feeling warm all over, which was quite healthy compared to my hands and feet, which were always as cold as ice.
After warming his hands and feet, he would hug Lin Baiyan tightly in his arms like a clingy piece of honey candy. After he got up, he would secretly place a hand warmer under Lin Baiyan's feet so that he wouldn't feel cold even if he stayed up all night.
Lang Cang has always been like this; he always does far more than he says.
"Wolf Cang..." I'll see you soon.
In a secluded corner, in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the high priest, who shone brightly and effortlessly, and had the faith of thousands, quietly shed a tear while hiding under the covers.
……
Lin Baiyan stood at the very front of the group, facing a group of elders.
"Bai Yan, be careful in everything you do. We'll be waiting for you to return to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts." Tu Lin's eyes were full of worry.
Lin Baiyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Xiao, holding two cubs in her arms, looked at Xiong Fei with pleading eyes, "Can't I really go with you?"
He had barely finished speaking when tears welled up in Xiong Fei's eyes. "Didn't we agree on something?"
"Sigh, okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go, stop crying!" Lu Xiao felt a headache and numbness whenever she saw Xiong Fei like this.
Hearing him change his tone, Xiong Fei immediately stopped his performance and adopted a different demeanor, "That's good."
Lu Xiao sighed deeply, "All you know is to use this trick against me!"
Xiong Fei stepped forward and kissed Lu Xiao's cheek, then lowered his head to kiss the cub, and finally looked up at Lu Xiao and whispered, "It doesn't matter how many tricks you have, as long as they're effective."
He reached out and touched Lu Xiao's face. "You and Xi and Shu stay home and wait for me to come back." Xiong Xi and Lu Shu are the names of the brown bear cub and the reindeer cub, which Lu Xiao named.
He had learned these two characters in his ancient culture class; they both symbolize light and hope. He hoped that his cub would have a peaceful and upright life.
"When I get back, if you still want to go out and explore, I'll go with you wherever you want." He doesn't know when he'll return, whether there will be any danger, or if he'll ever come back.
His and Lu Xiao's cub has just been born and needs someone to take care of it. One of them will have to stay in the city to watch the cub grow up.
Xiong Fei looked at Lu Xiao gently, but there was no need to tell Lu Xiao these things, lest he think he was being discouraging and Lu Xiao would get angry again.
Yang Ye and Hu Qiu had decided to go together long ago, and even Xiao Hu Kong couldn't stop them. At this moment, Yang Ye looked at the little tiger cub hanging on his lap and felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Little Tiger, unusually clever, turned into his animalistic nature, muttering softly as he tried to climb into his parents' arms, calling out, "Mother, Father, Mother!"
When Yang Ye saw the cub's longing look, she was about to reach out and hug him.
Just then, a large hand suddenly jumped out, ruthlessly pulled it aside, and handed it to Hu Can, saying, "I'll be relying on you for the next period of time."
"Be good, Kong! Your father and mother will bring you gifts when they come back!" Huqiu waved at him with a smile, his eyes full of provocation.
Finally, he had a chance to leave the cubs behind and enjoy some time alone with his partner. Since the cubs were born, Yang Ye had focused almost all his attention on the little tiger cubs and hadn't had much time for him.
This expedition is a perfect opportunity! He's been able to monopolize Yangye for months; it's bound to infuriate the cubs!
At this moment, Huqiu found the cubs pleasing to the eye no matter what, since he wouldn't be able to see them again later!
The little tiger cub immediately understood what his father meant, and he bared his teeth, trying to intimidate Huqiu into giving him back his mother and father.
However, it was no use. Xiao Hukong was firmly held in Hu Can's hands, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not escape those big hands.
Hu Qiu glanced at him sideways, trying to escape from Hu Can's grasp. He didn't even know what Hu Can had done before. Hu Can used to be in charge of taking care of the cubs in the Silver Tiger Clan. Now he's the head of the entire kindergarten!
Having dealt with so many cubs every day, outsmarting and outmaneuvering a tiger cub that hasn't yet taken human form is a piece of cake for them.
Yang Ye was furious at his smug look. He patted his partner irritably, "Have you forgotten what the High Priest told you?"
Hu Qiu shuddered at his partner's reminder, fearing that Lin Baiyan would catch him and throw him back into the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. He honestly replied, "I know. I need to stay calm and be careful in everything I do when I'm out here."
"I was just joking with him!" Huqiu reached out and patted the cub's head.
Hu Can held down the little tiger cub's limbs and hugged him. "Don't worry, Xiao Hu Kong has been with his kindergarten friends these days. I'll take good care of him for you."
In the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, adults feel very comfortable leaving cubs like Tiger Sky, who are already a year old and can eat and sleep well, in kindergartens.
After all, the beastmen have their own things to do every day, and taking care of cubs would be too much of a burden, which is why Yang Ye entrusted Hu Kong to Hu Can's care so confidently.
However, newborn cubs like Xiong Xi and Lu Shu are different. They are very dependent on their parents' scent, so they need someone to take care of them.
"Alright, take him back." Yang Ye pulled Hu Qiu away without looking back at the cub.
At the very front of the group, Tu Lin had finished explaining everything he could. When he had nothing left to say, he looked at Lin Baiyan and said, "Come back safely."
Lin Baiyan nodded, turned and walked onto the carriage, standing at the very front of the railing. "Let's go!"
