Su Zhi did not sense the dangerous aura and suppressed her joy as she hummed a song in a low tone.

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.

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

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

Su Zhi dried her body. Su Zhi reached out for the clothes on the shore and keenly felt the nearby bushes violently shake.

Su Zhi instantly 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 felt her scalp go numb. Her goosebumps stood up when she was stared at by the pair of sparkling green eyes. 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 ravine at the Peace Village. However, he had forgotten that there were wild beasts in the fertile wilderness.

"ROAR ~"

The enormous creature growled towards the hot spring, licking its thick and long tongue. It slowly walked towards Su Zhi as if it was extremely hungry.

Su Zhi was so frightened that her guts broke, and she had even drained all her remaining strength.

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 reincarnate and report back to the Yama Hall.

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 and met a pair of eyes as calm as water and as deep as the sea.

"General, general?"

Xiao Qian was both angry and anxious. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he came 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 Xiao Qian needed to hunt, he would habitually wear the armor. However, before he went to sleep, he had already removed the armor from his body.

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 Great General Xiao's bashfulness. Even the slight change in the redness on his ears was covered by a layer of frost.

"Get dressed."

After Xiao Qian said those few words, Xiao Qian stepped forward and stood in front of Su Zhi. He pulled out the dagger he carried with him and confronted the wild wolf.

The extremely hungry wild wolf was unable to break Su Zhi's neck in one bite. 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.

That big wolf seemed to understand that he was not easy to deal with, and did not dare to rashly go forward. Its pair of cold eyes stared at Su Zhi, whose mouth was brimming with a transparent liquid.

With Xiao Qian's protection, Su Zhi calmed down a lot. Trembling and barely able to put on her clothes, she nervously grabbed his 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. In this difficult situation, he was still calm and composed, not flustered in the slightest. It was as if he had an innate, powerful aura that made people feel inexplicably safe.

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

Xiao Qian swung his leg and kicked the wolf, knocking 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 flew up on his tiptoes. He turned the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the top of the wolf's head.

"ROAR ~"

Xiao Qian grabbed the wolf's hind legs as it felt the pain. Seeing the food nearing, the wolf opened its mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Su Zhi retreated in fright, sitting unsteadily on the grass behind her, gasping for air.

Xiao Qian pulled back his wrist and heard two crisp sounds. His leg was broken, and with a flick of his wrist, he stabbed the dagger into the wolf's 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 couldn't even stand up. Her legs were so soft that she couldn't muster up any 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 had forgotten that wild beasts roamed the wilderness. If it wasn't for Xiao Qian's timely arrival, she would have been buried in a wolf's den.

"Can you still get up?"

Xiao Qian saw that she was trembling so much that it seemed as if she was scared witless.

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

"Thank you, General."

Su Zhi did not refuse and allowed him to do as he pleased.
