Su Zhi did not detect any dangerous auras, and suppressed her elated mood as she hummed a song in a low voice.

Other than the calluses on his hands that had gone through too much farming work, the rest of his body was not bad.

Her body was flawless and white like jade. The place that she should stand up proudly did not shrink just because she had given birth to a child. The place that should be smooth and flat had no excess flesh at all.

Under the nourishment of the hot spring, Su Zhi felt all the pores on her body open up. She pulled at the membrane underneath her body and cleaned her body clean, afraid that the child would wake up and cry if he didn't wake up.

Since I already know the location, I can sneak over here everyday.

Su Zhi dried her body. She reached out to grab the clothes placed on the shore.

Su Zhi tensed up. It shouldn't be so late, right?

The short grass patch trembled and a big head popped out. Under the moonlight, one could see the dark green eyes.

There were wild beasts!

Su Zhi's scalp went numb. Being stared at by that pair of sparkling green eyes caused goosebumps to form all over her body. How could she have forgotten about this?

He had never seen large wild animals before, nor had he seen them when he was in the valley of Tranquil Village, but he had forgotten that there were wild beasts in the abundant wilderness.

"ROAR ~"

That enormous monster growled towards the hot spring, and its thick and long sharp tongue licked up, as if it was extremely hungry, and slowly walked towards Su Zhi.

Su Zhi was so scared that her guts started to crack, and she drained all of her energy.

She forced herself to calm down and reached into the storage room to look for some kind of anti-wolf spray. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"Howl, howl ~"

Ah!

From the quiet wilderness came a piercing scream, accompanied by the low roar of a wild beast.

Su Zhi felt that she was finished. She finally got the chance to rebirth and she had to report to the Palace of Yama once again.

She closed her eyes and hugged her dying heart, but the expected pain didn't come. She felt a strong tug on her arm.

She was pulled out of the water.

Who saved her?

Su Zhi subconsciously opened her eyes as she stared into a pair of eyes that were as calm as water and as deep as the ocean.

"General, general?"

Xiao Qian was both furious and anxious. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he arrived a step later.

This woman was not afraid of death. If she took off her clothes, she would be able to save herself the trouble of tearing her clothes off like a wild wolf!

If there was a need to hunt after the truce, Xiao Qian would habitually put on his armor, but at night, before he went to sleep, he took off his armor.

The clothes he wore were thin, and he could clearly feel the soft and slippery ball of cloth that stuck to his body.

The darkness of the night easily covered up the Great General Xiao's bashfulness, and even the subtle changes on the redness on his ears were covered with a layer of light frost.

"Get dressed."

After Xiao Qian said these few words, Xiao Qian stepped forward and blocked in front of Su Zhi. He pulled out the dagger he brought along with him and confronted the wild wolf.

The extremely hungry wild wolf was unable to break Su Zhi's neck with a single bite, and the extremely hungry wild wolf let out a low howl of unwillingness.

This man had been on the battlefield for many years, and he had a murderous aura that could not be underestimated.

The big wolf seemed to understand that he was not easy to deal with, and did not dare to rashly go forward, as its dense and cold eyes stared at Su Zhi, with a mouth full of transparent liquid.

With Xiao Qian's protection, Su Zhi became much calmer. She trembled and barely managed to put on her clothes, and anxiously grabbed onto's sleeves, afraid that the two of them would die.

"Don't be afraid. Standing behind me, that beast can't even move you."

Su Zhi nodded her head, at the most difficult moment, he was still calm and composed, not panicked in the slightest, as though she was born with a powerful aura that made people feel at ease.

The wolf couldn't care less as it clawed at the ground twice before pouncing towards the two of them.

Xiao Qian ferociously swung his leg, aiming for the wolf's stomach, and kicked it away.

The wolf was forced to fly a few meters, its sharp claws tracing long marks on the ground.

Without waiting for the two to catch their breath, they pounced once again.

This time, Xiao Qian pushed Su Zhi away and stood up on his tiptoes. He turned the corner with the dagger in his hand and inserted it into the top of the wolf's head.

"ROAR ~"

The wild wolf suffered from the pain, its hind leg was grabbed by Xiao Qian, and it opened its bloody mouth, revealing two rows of ghastly white teeth when it saw the food approaching.

Su Zhi retreated in fright, unsteadily sat on the grass behind him, and panted heavily.

Xiao Qian's wrist moved back, and two clear sounds came out, the wolf leg was broken and fractured, the wind from his palm blew, and the dagger fiercely stabbed into the wolf head.

The wild wolf let out a low howl of pain, then gradually stopped its flopping motion until it was dead.

For a long time, Su Zhi was unable to stand up, her legs that were like balls of cotton couldn't even muster a bit of strength.

It was clearly a day in the middle of the night, but she was covered in cold sweat, and her palms were also overflowing with sweat.

She had been careless tonight and forgot that there would be wild beasts in the wilderness. If not for Xiao Qian coming in time, she would have been buried in a wolf's den.

"Can you still get up?"

Xiao Qian saw that she was trembling so badly that her hair stood on end.

Although Xiao Qian was a little angry, he still lowered his voice as much as possible and reached out to help her up.

"Thank you, General."

Su Zhi did not push him away and allowed him to move.
