I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

When Jiang Ning noticed the movement beside her, she awoke from her meditation. She looked at Bai Ya standing to the side. Bai Ya had just returned from hunting and still had some blood on him. Seeing that she was meditating, he didn't disturb her.

Siriuses have thick pads on the soles of their feet, which makes them almost silent when they walk.

This physiological structure gives them a great advantage when hunting, allowing them to approach their prey without making any noise and avoid disturbing their target.

This makes Sirius a natural hunter, capable of silently tracking and ambushing in various environments.

Baiya was tall and muscular, with fur that shimmered like silver, and his wolf eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Nourished by the strange-boned beast and growing through a winter, its size now far exceeds that of an ordinary adult siris, reaching a length of over four meters, majestic and imposing.

Jiang Ning gently stroked Baiya's head, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside her. She had raised Baiya with her own hands. She had watched it grow from a tiny creature that could barely walk into the powerful Sirius it was today, and her heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.

She channeled her magical power into Baiya's body to examine his condition. Baiya let out a low growl and licked her hand with his wet tongue, seemingly puzzled.

Jiang Ning took out the strange bone from the animal skin bag she carried and placed it in front of it. "Baiya, this is the strange bone of that forest deer. Eat it and you will become stronger."

"Your body may also collapse because it cannot absorb its power and cannot withstand it."

Baiya lowered its head and sniffed the strange bone, then looked up at Jiang Ning. There was a telepathic connection between the battle pet and its master; it could understand Jiang Ning's words.

This strange bone resembles a white bone bead, its surface smooth and radiating powerful energy. If it cannot be absorbed and utilized, it may threaten its life.

However, Baiya didn't hesitate for long. It opened its mouth and swallowed the strange bone. Instantly, a powerful energy surged into its body.

Baiya let out a low growl, a sound filled with pain and struggle. The energy of the alien bone flowed throughout its body like an uncontrollable torrent, causing it immense pain and discomfort.

Seeing Baiya's pained expression, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel worried. She knew this process was painful for Baiya, but she also understood that it was a necessary step for it to become stronger.

She let Baiya make her own choice because if he didn't have the heart of a strong person, no matter how hard others tried, it would be useless.

Moreover, she had already examined Bai Ya's body beforehand. Bai Ya was already extremely talented, and his body had been nourished by the flesh and blood of the strange bone beast. He had also been hunting and training his body outside this winter, so he was able to withstand the energy of this strange bone.

Baiya endured the pain, knowing that only by persevering through this process could it truly master the power of the alien bone. With Jiang Ning by its side, it gradually adapted to the flow of this energy within its body, and the pain gradually lessened.

As time went by, Baiya's body underwent significant changes. Its muscles became stronger and more powerful, each contraction and extension brimming with strength and vitality. Its bones also became harder and more robust, able to withstand greater pressure and impact.

Jiang Ning stared intently at Bai Ya, her heart filled with relief and pride. She knew that Bai Ya had weathered the most difficult time and was now growing stronger. This process, though painful, was an essential part of growth.

As time went by, Baiya's appearance gradually changed. Its body seemed to inflate, gradually becoming larger, its muscles more solid and powerful, and its body more enormous.

The two bulges on its back became more and more prominent, like two small mountain peaks, full of power and majesty.

Baiya's transformation is not only reflected in its physique, but also in its temperament and spirit. Its eyes have become sharper and more determined, and its entire body exudes power and a commanding presence, making its presence impossible to ignore.

Jiang Ning was overjoyed, "Bai Ya, you've successfully broken through! You're now a Bone-Beast!"

After its breakthrough, Baiya exceeded five meters in length and was even more robust than before. Due to excessive exertion, its body swayed slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment. But even so, it still stood upright, resolute in its stance.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning stroked its fur with a pang of heartache. She knew that Baiya needed rest right now.

"Baiya, go to sleep. You'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Baiya licked its paw and went into the cave. It was still sleeping in Jiang Ning's cave. Stone and Meatball were a pair. Sirius were extremely loyal to their mates, having only one mate for life. Similarly, they had a very strong sense of territory and wouldn't allow Baiya to live in their cave.

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something; she seemed to have forgotten an important detail—the Sirius grows very quickly in winter, and she hadn't prepared a suitable cave for Baiya to live in. This made her feel extremely guilty.

Now that Baiya has grown even bigger, it seems the task of digging a cave is urgent. I'll have to trouble Baiya to live with me for the time being.

Jiang Ning found a brush she made from pine needles, specifically for brushing Baiya's fur. Baiya's fur was thick and abundant, and it liked to run around, often hiding things in its fur.

She found another large basin. As Baiya grew bigger, it rarely needed to be fed anymore. Jiang Ning looked at the few remaining ingredients in the cave, took a fish, cut it into pieces, and then cooked some taro and yam beans.

When Baiya woke up, it had regained its energy and ran out to find Jiang Ning.

Seeing that Bai Ya had almost fully recovered, Jiang Ning happily tossed the prepared food to Bai Ya piece by piece. Bai Ya caught them skillfully and swallowed them in one gulp, barely needing to chew.

After it finished eating, Jiang Ning picked up the brush, and Bai Ya looked around and found a spot with more snow to lie down and rest.

I heard that in my past life, people in the north washed their mink coats on the snow in winter, and they got them very clean. Jiang Ning hadn't tried it in her past life, but she had experienced it a few times in this life. Bai Ya's fur was also washed very clean on the snow.

Jiang Ning squatted down next to Baiya and began brushing its fur. She carefully used the brush to comb Baiya's fur, removing the knots. During the brushing process, some debris hidden deep in the fur was also brought out by the brush.

Under the sunlight, Baiya lay on the snow, squinting as it basked in the sun; clearly, it was enjoying the breeze.

After brushing all the fur smooth, Jiang Ning began to scrub the dirt off Bai Ya's body with snow. Fortunately, Jiang Ning's body had been strengthened, otherwise she would have frozen after scrubbing such a large Bai Ya.

Jiang Ning carefully scrubbed Bai Ya's fur until it was clean and tidy. Although the process was tiring, Jiang Ning felt very satisfied and happy.

After rubbing it with snow, Jiang Ning brushed Baiya again, smoothing out all the bristles. Baiya was once again transformed into a white and beautiful Sirius.

Its fur looks soft and smooth, radiating a sheen like freshly combed silk. Every single hair is clearly visible, without a single stray hair or a hint of roughness.

Baiya's eyes sparkled with a bright light, revealing a confident and intelligent demeanor. Its limbs were strong and powerful, and its gait was light and steady, as if it could run to the distant fields at any moment.

In this cold winter, Baiya's body exuded a warm aura, making people feel comfortable and at ease. Looking at its appearance, Jiang Ning felt very satisfied, thinking that she had raised it herself.

Bai Ya nudged Jiang Ning's hand with his nose, then lay down in front of her.

"Are you trying to carry me?" Bai Ya was already over two meters tall; even when he lay down, he only reached Jiang Ning's chest. Jiang Ning was already 1.7 meters tall in this world. Although she was shorter than others, she was quite satisfied compared to her previous life. After all, she was born with a disadvantaged constitution this time.

Jiang Ning straddled Bai Ya's back; this was the first time Jiang Ning had ever sat on Bai Ya's back.

Before, Baiya was still small. Although it could run and jump, it didn't have enough capacity to support itself. Now, Baiya has grown big enough, and its body is strong and powerful, easily able to support Jiang Ning's body.

Once Jiang Ning was settled, Baiya stood up and walked a few steps on the platform, considerately letting Jiang Ning get used to it. Its tall and robust body made Jiang Ning feel very safe and comfortable. After Jiang Ning had settled in, Baiya started running towards the tribal square at the foot of the mountain.

As Bai Ya's pace quickened, Jiang Ning's body flew along with the wind. She felt the wind rush past her, as if she had been cleaved in two by Bai Ya. This novel sensation thrilled and excited her.

On Baiya's back, Jiang Ning felt as if she could fly, feeling extremely free and unrestrained.

Because Jiang Ning couldn't leave the tribe alone, Bai Ya led her back and forth on this mountain path many times until Jiang Ning felt her body was chilled by the cold wind, at which point she asked Bai Ya to stop.
