d of the rope in her hand, extended her arm, drew an arc, and effortlessly pulled the black bag from outside the wall into the room.Meili saw the bag fly inside and heard footsteps. She immediately re..."I've come this time to take the howler cub. The cub is innocent, and I want to raise him. He shouldn't be a disruption to your new life."

Lin said solemnly.

He was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't seen the cub since meeting Wen Nuan. He turned to look back at Wen Nuan.

Then, with a warmth spreading through him, he looked at Wei, then at Lin, whose eyes were full of hope. He just shook his head.

Lin looked after, frowned, this warmth is unwilling!

He had long prepared his speech and was confident in persuading them, after all, the cub was a thorn in their hearts.

The cub has been taken away and given to the Ripple Spirit. She will raise the cub.

Her warm and crisp words left Lin Hewei speechless.

Lin was somewhat angry. He spoke in a low voice:

"What right do you have to do that I'm his ancestor!"

"What rights do I have Of course, I have rights! He's mine!"

"Then you should also discuss it with me! I disagree!"

Lin's anger was rising, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome. Wei also seemed displeased and stepped forward to stand in front of Nuan.

warmth, but from Wei's back came out, a sarcastic smile on his face said:

Of course you disagree! What could that child possibly learn growing up beside you Hate! To become your puppet! What have you turned Shuo into

Even if I dislike this child, he is flesh of my own flesh. I may not be able to give him my wholehearted love, but I must give him a bright future.

"Staying by the messenger's side, he would be safe and learn more. He wouldn't have to stay in the tribe and be pointed at and talked about by his people, living forever under the shadow of the howl!"

After his words fell, the cave plunged into a deathly silence. Lin's rage vanished instantly, leaving him seeming even more aged.

After a long while, he turned around and left, going to seek the shaman.

When Lin left, Wen warmly collapsed onto the stone bed. She had used all her courage and strength facing the former chieftain just now. Now that he was gone, she felt her legs go weak.

A flicker of pity crossed his eyes, and he immediately walked over, sat down beside the stone bed, and gently took her hand, asking, "How are you"

"Warmth, is this truly your heart's desire To be honest, I don't mind raising the little one. As you said, you carried him through hardship and brought him into the world. After all, the cub is innocent."

Her warm expression had softened considerably, and she reached back to hold Wei's hand, opening her mouth softly:

"This was a decision I made after much deliberation. It's what's best for the cub, even if you don't mind raising him and wouldn't care about the difference in forms. But what will you say if he asks why your shapes are different someday"

There are also gossipmongers in the tribe. If he knew his true origins, how would he face you How would he face his fellow tribesmen This is the best course of action I can think of for the cub's well-being."

Warmth reaffirmed, explaining to Wei while also persuading himself again.

But the cub, which Lin had been remembering, was now in Lian's arms.

In a month's time, the little one could already see the outside world. The first person he opened his eyes to wasn't warmth or the witch, but ripples.

So he clung to Ripple with all his might. He had just finished eating and was nestled in her embrace, being petted. Soon, he began to doze off.

"It's great to be at an age where you just eat and sleep!"

The ripples brushed a few youngsters again and carefully placed them in a wicker basket lined with furs. They then covered the basket with more fur to block out the light, helping the little ones sleep more soundly.

Meng suddenly walked in and whispered to Lian Yi:

"Lin is here, he wants to see you!"

Ripple knew the other's purpose and nodded, leaving the innermost cave without disturbing the little one who was asleep.

Seeing Lin, whose expression seemed a few years older, ripples spoke with a smile before the other party could open their mouth:

I know why you're here. You should have met Warmth and Weiled already. Warmth should have explained everything clearly. I hope you'll respect their decision.

I just want to tell you, you can't raise Lei to adulthood. Your lifespan is coming to an end. What about Lei when you return to the embrace of the Beast God

At that time, he wasn't an adult yet. Would it be better to let Warmth take him back to raise Maybe Warmth and Wei already had their own cubs then, able to care for Lei better Is this what you want to see”

A series of three questions rippling out, explained the predicament of the young cub Lei, leaving Lin Du speechless.

I swear to the Beast God, I will raise Lei into an outstanding beastman, allowing him to walk proudly in the Beast World!

As the words fell, the beast mark on Lien's brow flashed, and the oath was complete.

Lin let out a deep sigh and made one final request:

I want to take a look at the thunder.

"Sure, he can sleep in there. Let Meng take you to see it!"

She will naturally meet the last request.

Meng stood silently by the side, listening intently. At this moment, he stepped forward and led the slightly hunched Lin to meet Lei.

Lin ultimately wasn't able to get Lei back, leaving Ripples' dwelling with some disappointment. She just happened to bump into Dú who was out picking mushrooms.

After the rainy season, all kinds of mushrooms grew in the forest. Lianyi specifically told the Tiger Clan about the non-toxic edible ones, so they could collect some when it stopped raining.

The ripples dried the mushrooms again, then when the dried vegetables were stored, some were chopped and stir-fried with meat, with more salt added, sealed in a clay pot, and placed in a cool, dry cave where they could be stored until winter.

He insisted on helping take care of the little cub, Lei, and took on the task of collecting fungi mainly because Ripple loved to eat them.

"Lin did not take Lei away."

> What is being said is a declarative sentence.

He nodded vigorously, then said:

"How much did you harvest today The angel told me to start organizing things. If it doesn't rain in the next two days, we'll set off."

She put down the wicker basket on her shoulders and said directly:

"Not bad, I found a place with all this stuff. You handle this basket first, and I'll go pick some more."

"Okay."

The next two days were sunny, and Ripplesong left the TigerClan territory on the second day of fair weather.

After saying goodbye with warmth, Wei He escorted Ripples and the others out of the tiger clan's territory. As they left, he gave Ripples a smaller leather pouch.

"Divine messenger, thank you for everything you've done for me and warmth. We will live well. Lei, please take care of him."

"Here's a warm fur garment prepared for Lei, so he can wear it when shifting into human form. There's also a lighter set of deer skin clothes, specially sewn by Wenwen for you, perfect for the rainy season."

"Okay, please thank Warmth for me."

Ripple generously accepted the challenge. It was the second month of the rainy season, and the temperature had already dropped considerably; it was no longer suitable to wear linen clothes.

In a brief farewell, the ripples made their way towards the sea where the merfolk resided. bowed even lower, as if wanting to cover their ears entirely. But the sound of the board striking flesh and the woman's high-pitched screams made their bodies tremble uncontrollably.Ripple's face hel...
