1031: Saving the Rabbit III

Saving the Rabbit III

Later on, it had drifted to the beast forest and the spirit beasts here treated it very well and they would pick mushrooms for it to eat. Even if the mushrooms were unpalatable, it still felt very blessed.2

It had been a long time since it had the blessing of receiving love and care.

Slowly, it started to follow the spirit beasts in cultivating.

Its talent was good and it quickly surpassed its teachers who had taught it.

Back then it had thought, if its owner knew that it was no longer an ordinary watchdog but was a strong spirit beast, would he… regret it one day?

However, before it had managed to find its owner, the beast forest had met with danger. It was also then that it understood why the beast forest had always been peaceful—the number of spirit beasts was declining.

To fight against the humankind that was bullying them, they no longer fought and kill amongst themselves. On the contrary, they worked together—everyone became vegetarians!

Furthermore, all the former pets who had strayed into the beast forest were adopted by the spirit beasts and taught to cultivate. All this was to add to the forces of the spirit beasts.

The hunting dog's eyes turned red.

It was not like the other spirit beasts. It had feelings toward mankind even though it had been abandoned. But to it, its friends in the beast forest were more important. It would not allow anybody to simply hurt its friends in the beast forest.

"Woof!"

The dog growled angrily as it rushed toward Feng Ruqing once again.

The moment when it rushed to Feng Ruqing, Feng Ruqing had already scooped a ladle of soup and brought it before the dog.

"Your leg is slightly wounded, drink up."

The dog froze and looked at the soup as Feng Ruqing brought it before its eyes.

It remembered back when it was still at its master's house, it once fell sick and its master had boiled medicine for it.

That was why it never forgot him all these years!

It understood that its owner had his own difficulties and it was not that he had intentionally disregarded it! It wanted to become stronger and return proudly.

The dog moved toward the ladle of soup and licked the soup. Spiritual qi gathered in its leg, reducing the pain in its leg quite substantially.

It was so pleasant that the dog gobbled up the rest of the spirit herb soup.

Feng Ruqing saw that the spirit beasts were no longer hostile toward her, so she turned toward Little Qing Han and said, "Let them go."

"Alright, Mother."

Little Qing Han loosened the vines and let all the spirit beasts go.

Originally, these spirit beasts were too badly harmed and thus their vigilance toward humans was also very high.

The moment they saw that Feng Ruqing was not intending to cook the rabbit but was actually boiling spirit herb soup, their hearts felt at ease. However, their eyes were still alert and vigilant but without the previous ferociousness.

Feng Ruqing scooped another ladle of the spirit herb soup and brought it to the side of the big rabbit's mouth. She used force to pry open the mouth of the rabbit and poured in the medicine.

Half of the soup entered the rabbit's mouth, but the other half flowed out, soaking its fur.

The rabbit burped, belched, and slowly opened its eyes.

What it saw was a familiar and stunning face.

The big rabbit's heart beat fast. If it was not because of the pain coming from its abdomen that was causing it to suppress its impulse, it would have run toward Feng Ruqing.

It was her again, the kind-hearted person!

"You wound will be fine, but the babies could not be saved. I will help you to remove those babies in a while, but it will hurt a little. You'll have to endure for a bit."

The big rabbit was stunned. Its eyes dimmed and tears began to flow. Its eyes reflected pain.

The buck had died from falling off a cliff when searching for spirit herbs. The babies that were in its stomach were the sole bloodline the buck had left behind. But now, even they could no longer live…
