Lu Yinheng rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife and daughter were safe and sound.

He took the daughter from Ji Yunshuang's arms and asked with concern, "Were you frightened?"

Lu Yuzhu still remembered the little secret between her and her mother. She pursed her lips, shook her head gently, and then nodded after a while.

Lu Yinheng patted her head, "Why are you shaking your head and nodding like that? Are you scared or not?"

“At first she was scared, but with her father and mother around, Zhuzhu wasn’t afraid anymore.”

The moment the little girl opened her mouth, a milky aroma wafted out, along with the half-eaten milk candy in her mouth.

Seeing her father staring at her mouth with a thoughtful expression, Lu Yuzhu quickly covered her mouth.

Seeing that she had been exposed, Ji Yunshuang remained calm and explained slowly, "I picked up a few candies while picking up rice earlier. There weren't many, so I didn't share them and saved them for Zhuzhu."

Lu Yinheng gave a faint "hmm" and said, "I'll take you there and you can stay with everyone."

Lu Yuzhu hugged her father tightly around the neck, her face full of worry, and asked, "Where is Father?"

"I'll take you back to be with everyone first, and then I'll go and see what's going on."

Judging from the chaotic roars of the tigers, Lu Yinheng thought that the tigers in the mountains were fighting for territory. As long as they avoided them and waited for the tigers to disperse, they should not pose a threat to everyone.

Lu Yuzhu hugged her father's neck tightly with both hands, "Father, don't go."

Lu Yinheng didn't know how to coax his daughter, let alone lie to her, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Ji Yunshuang spoke up, "Let's go together."

Lu Yinheng turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on her. Ji Yunshuang didn't know what he was thinking, nor did she care much.

She reached out, "Let me hold the baby!"

Lu Yinheng avoided her and said, "I'll just hold you."

Ji Yunshuang didn't say anything more. She believed that with his skills, he could protect the child.

She turned and walked toward the direction from which the tiger's roar had come.

Lu Yinheng, carrying the child, quickly followed.

The two eventually arrived at a high cliff.

This spot offers a clear view of the fight below.

However, their unique geographical location also made it convenient for them to defend themselves.

Upon seeing the situation below, Ji Yunshuang instinctively raised her hand and covered Lu Yuzhu's eyes.

Besides the two tigers locked in a life-or-death struggle, there were also many tiger carcasses on the ground.

Besides the tiger, there also appears to be a deer carcass.

In short, the ground was covered in blood, and it looked extremely gruesome.

She guessed that a tiger pack was fighting over territory or prey.

As she covered Lu Yuzhu's eyes, she unconsciously leaned against Lu Yinheng.

Lu Yinheng smelled a captivating scent that was both floral and fruity.

He subconsciously tried to identify the smell and couldn't help but wonder, since they were both traveling, why didn't she smell of sweat, but instead had a refreshing fragrance?

When he realized it, he was unconsciously drawn to her again and began to pay attention to her, and his face instantly turned even colder.

Ji Yunshuang did not notice the cold face of the man beside her.

She covered her daughter's eyes while steadying herself to look down.

The two tiger packs below have clearly already decided the winner.

After the victorious tiger had a hearty meal, it led its pack of tiger cubs away in a majestic manner, leaving behind only a mess.

Looking at the deer antlers left behind by the tiger on the ground, as well as the tiger's carcass, she had a thought of taking advantage of the situation.

She grabbed Lu Yinheng's hand and covered her daughter's eyes, saying, "Take good care of her, I'm going to check on her."

After saying that, she jumped off the cliff and walked towards the mess.

Lu Yinheng mechanically maintained the same posture as before, but all his nerves were focused on the place she had just touched.

Even though she had already left, his arm seemed to still retain that warm touch, constantly teasing his nerves.

"Where did Mother go?" Lu Yuzhu stayed obediently in his arms, asking anxiously, "Will Mother be in danger?"

Running down at this point would likely alert the tiger that had just left, and you could be injured by it when it returns.

But thinking of his daughter's tragic death in her previous life, and the fact that she stayed by his side in this life with impure motives, he hardened his heart and stood still.

Not hearing her father's reply, Lu Yuzhu became increasingly uneasy and tried to break free from his embrace.

Seeing his daughter's worried expression, Lu Yinheng finally relented and said, "Don't move, close your eyes obediently, I'll take you to find your mother."

Lu Yuzhu quickly stopped struggling, covered her eyes with her hands, and said, "Zhuzhu will be good. Zhuzhu will cover her eyes herself. Daddy will go find Mother. Don't let Mother be in danger."

Lu Yinheng sighed, protected his daughter, and jumped off the cliff.

Although there was plenty of food in the space, Ji Yunshuang, who had experienced the apocalypse, was inherently insecure.

No matter how much food there is, she never feels she has too much.

In Ji Yunshuang's eyes, the deer bones and antlers, tiger skin and bones left over from the tiger's meal were all treasures.

In particular, there was a tiger on the ground that looked completely intact and had not been eaten by other tigers.

She guessed that the tiger had already eaten its fill, which was why it hadn't eaten this tiger.

Such a large tiger was difficult to move, and she was just about to move it into her spatial dimension when she heard heavy footsteps.

She looked up and saw Lu Yinheng carrying his daughter, walking towards her.

Such a large tiger suddenly disappearing right in front of him would make him too easy to spot. She turned her head and began to gather up the tiger bones, deer antlers, and other debris on the ground.

Then, when no one was looking, I moved it into the space.

Lu Yinheng originally wanted to remind her to pick up a few things and leave as soon as possible, as this place was not safe.

But when his gaze fell on the tiger's carcass on the ground, he paused.

He placed Lu Yuzhu on a tree branch, told her to close her eyes, and then took the knife and went to the tiger's corpse.

Seeing him frown, touch the tiger's neck, press its belly, and then pull out a dagger, intending to cut open the tiger's stomach, Ji Yunshuang asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yinheng initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but seeing her approach, he said, "This tiger is female."

Just as a guess was forming in Ji Yunshuang's mind, he deftly cut open the tiger's belly and took out a wet little tiger cub with its eyes closed.

“It’s still alive.” Lu Yinheng stroked the little tiger, then sighed, “It’s so small, I’m afraid it won’t survive.”

Seeing that he was about to give up on the little tiger, Ji Yunshuang reached out and said, "Let me try."

Lu Yinheng glanced at her. "The little tiger cub's mother is dead. There's no milk, so it won't survive."

Ji Yunshuang insisted, "I know, but I want to try."

Lu Yinheng didn't say anything more. He handed the little tiger to her, then quickly removed the tiger's internal organs, and carried the whole tiger on his shoulder, saying, "Let's leave as soon as possible. The smell of blood here is too strong; it's not safe."

Ji Yunshuang gave a casual "hmm".

Seeing that he was carrying a tiger and was about to hug his daughter, she quickly said, "I'll carry the daughter! You can carry the tiger."

Lu Yinheng turned to look at her, clearly not trusting her.

Ji Yunshuang was speechless. "You should leave now! Your wound hasn't healed yet, and you're still dawdling around carrying such a big tiger. Don't make your wound reopen."

After saying that, she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Would I really lose my own daughter?"

He actually didn't trust her.

As Ji Yunshuang spoke, she walked over and lifted her daughter down from the tree branch.

"Mother, can Zhuzhu take her hands away now?" Back in her mother's arms, Lu Yuzhu relaxed completely.

Ji Yunshuang smiled and kissed her forehead, saying, "In a little while, you'll be able to open your eyes."

Lu Yinheng gave Ji Yunshuang a deep look. "Stay close to me."

Ji Yunshuang nodded in agreement. After Lu Yinheng turned and left, she used her mental power to put all the tiger bones, broken tiger skin, deer bones, and other items behind her into her spatial storage.

She uses her telekinesis to put things into the space, and these things will disappear suddenly without making any other noise.

But as if sensing something, Lu Yinheng paused for a moment. Ji Yunshuang's heart also began to pound.

To avoid letting him notice anything amiss, she quickly asked him with concern, "Did your wound reopen? Are you alright?"

Lu Yinheng did not answer her question, but paused for a moment and continued walking back.

Ji Yunshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help but wonder whether his perception was too sharp and he had really noticed something, or whether she had overreacted.
