After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

After daybreak, the cold air filled the area around the cave, and frost flowers shimmered on the dry grass.

Chifeng and Murong Ling'er began to organize everyone to deal with the results of last night's battle.

"Everyone, hurry up and carry the wolves over here, and be quick!" Chiffon shouted.

Everyone took action. Although everyone was a little tired after a night of fighting, the joy of victory and the anticipation for the future made them full of energy.

The men skillfully skinned and dismembered the wolves, while the women helped collect and organize them.

The cold hands were busy in the cold wind, and the white breath exhaled condensed in the air.

Murong Ling'er moved among the crowd, occasionally instructing everyone on how to process wolf meat more efficiently.

"We have to cook the meat quickly so we can eat it and continue our journey." someone said.

Soon, the bonfire was rekindled, the stove was set up, and large pieces of wolf meat were thrown into the pot. The water in the pot was boiling and steaming, adding a touch of warmth to the cold morning.

Murong Ling'er looked at the wolf meat in front of her, thought for a moment and then said, "We can't just cook it and eat it. We should roast some of the wolf meat over the fire and make it into bacon. This way it will be easier to preserve and we will have more food reserves for the journey."

After hearing this, they responded one after another and took action immediately. They pierced the processed wolf meat with sharpened branches and slowly roasted it by the fire.

The fire was burning brightly, the wolf meat was sizzling, and the fat was dripping into the fire, emitting bursts of aroma.

Everyone gathered around the stove, waiting for the wolf meat to be cooked.

The children's red, frozen faces were full of anticipation, while the old people sat aside, talking about their past experiences, as if they had forgotten the danger of last night in this brief peace.

"The meat is cooked!" With a cheer, everyone took up their bowls and couldn't wait to fill them with wolf meat.

The aroma of meat wafted through the air, and people sat around feasting on the meat, their bodies gradually warming up.

"Mom, this roasted wolf meat is so delicious!" Murong Chen squatted aside with a satisfied smile on his face, enjoying the wolf meat roasted by Murong Ling'er happily.

"The wolf meat roasted by elder sister is so delicious, it's absolutely amazing!" Huo Zihao excitedly took the roast meat handed to him by Murong Ling'er and couldn't help but gobble it up. His look made people laugh.

Deng Lihua looked at her son like this, feeling both amused and helpless. She said with a smirk, "Eat slowly, don't be anxious. Everything your eldest sister cooks is good, except your mother's. Okay?"

At this time, Huo Jianjie also spoke up: "Ling'er's cooking skills are really good. The children are so supportive, haha!"

Huo Shuixian, watching the happy atmosphere of their family, felt very unhappy, as if she was isolated! She bit her lip, her face gloomy, and thought angrily: "Why do people revolve around Murong Ling'er, when I am obviously the daughter of this family."

When Murong Ling'er heard what Deng Lihua said, she smiled and said, "Aunt Deng, what are you talking about? You work very hard doing housework on weekdays. I just show off my skills occasionally. It's my honor to be liked by everyone!" After that, she handed Deng Lihua a piece of wolf meat that was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside.

Huo Zihao swallowed the meat in his mouth and continued, "Big sister is right, everything you and big sister cook is delicious."

Huo Jianjie looked at the children with satisfaction and said, "This is how a family should live in harmony."

As Huo Shuixian listened to their conversation, her anger grew stronger. She suddenly stood up and ran away.

Huo Jianjie sighed helplessly as he watched Huo Shuixian walk away!

"This wolf meat is so delicious. Thanks to Miss Murong and Mr. Chu, we can have this full meal." Someone said while eating.

Murong Linger smiled and said, "Everyone will have more energy to continue their journey after they have eaten their fill."

Chu Lingfeng also said: "Yes! There is still a long way to go!"

After eating the wolf meat, everyone began to pack up and prepare to continue on their journey.

Chiffon carefully checked everyone's equipment and status.

"Everyone, put on your thick clothes. The roads are not easy to walk on in winter." Chiffon reminded.

People wrapped their clothes tightly, carried their bags, and the team set off slowly under the leadership of Chiffon.

The cold wind was howling, making people's cheeks hurt, but everyone's steps were firm and powerful.

The children held the adults' hands tightly, and the women supported each other.

Murong Ling'er asked Huo Jianjie and Deng Lihua to carry Murong Chen and Huo Zihao into the carriage and then walked in front, observing the surroundings vigilantly. Chu Lingfeng stayed in the carriage because he could not move his legs much yet.

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind!" Chiffon's voice came clearly in the wind.

The team struggled forward in the white snow, and the biting cold wind blew on people's faces like a knife.

Murong Ling'er's face was red from the cold, but her eyes were still firm and alert.

Suddenly, a sharp bird cry was heard in the sky.

Murong Ling'er's heart tightened. She looked up and saw a group of large black birds circling overhead.

She quickly shouted, "Everyone be careful, the situation may change!"

When everyone heard her shout, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

When the convicts saw this sudden situation, they talked about it in horror.

"What should we do? We just drove away the wolves, and now here comes a group of big birds? Are we going to find a snake den next time? Are we going to let people live?"

"God doesn't want us to live!"

"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid I'm going to die here this time!"

"Don't panic, everyone! It's okay!"

Panic quickly spread among the crowd, and the team suddenly fell into chaos.

Some people started running around, knocking over the luggage around them. The children started crying in fear, while the women hugged their children tightly in their arms, their faces pale.

The men also seemed a little at a loss. They gripped the crude weapons in their hands, and their eyes revealed fear and anxiety.

Murong Linger shouted, "Stop running around! Calm down!"

But in this chaotic atmosphere, her voice was quickly drowned out.

At this moment, Chifeng also quickly stepped forward, brandishing his sword and shouting, "Whoever runs around again, don't blame me for my whip! Everyone, listen to Miss Murong. Stay calm, and you'll be able to deal with the danger!"

Thanks to their efforts, the commotion in the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone gathered together again, staring vigilantly at the birds circling overhead.

"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid I'm going to die here this time!"

"Don't panic, everyone! It's okay!"

Panic quickly spread among the crowd, and the team suddenly fell into chaos.

The flock of birds circled over their heads and flew away!

Chifeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and comforted everyone, "Okay, okay, it was a false alarm. Don't scare yourselves. Let's continue on our way."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed.

After Chifeng reorganized the team, he began to move forward slowly again.

Murong Ling'er frowned, as if thinking about something.

Chu Lingfeng also got off the carriage at this time and saw her expression. He asked, "Miss Murong, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Murong Ling'er lowered her voice and said, "I don't think things are that simple. The appearance of these large birds is too strange. They might have been sent by the Wu Clan."

Chu Lingfeng's expression was stern: "If that's the case, I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult."

Murong Ling'er's eyes were firm: "No matter what, we must deal with it carefully."

"Yeah!" Chu Lingfeng responded, and he put a little more strength into his hand gripping the sword. He swore to make the person behind it pay a heavy price.
