When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Zhu Chongjiu watched as a polar bear the size of an elephant staggered toward him, bleeding as it walked.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "This is the size I'm looking at. If it were smaller, it would have bled to death long ago."

The polar bear walked to a position about five meters away from Zhu Chongjiu, slowly lay down, looked at Zhu Chongjiu's little white flower, and then looked at Zhu Chongjiu again.

Zhu Chongjiu understood that the polar bear lying down meant it was submitting to him, and looking at the flowers and then at him meant it wanted him to fulfill his promise!

But Zhu Chongjiu looked at Xiong Da and said, "Xiong Da, with your injuries like this, do you think you can survive?"

It's pointless to spend money on this; it would be a waste of such a precious item.

What? You don't need me to dig a grave for you and then give you half of the flowers as burial goods, do you?

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu finish speaking, the polar bear immediately pointed to the wound on its neck with its paw, and then pointed to the flowers in Zhu Chongjiu's hand!

Zhu Chongjiu said, "You mean the flower can heal your wound?"

The polar bear nodded!

Zhu Chongjiu said: Good, good, good!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the flower in his hand, which looked a bit like a lotus. After looking at his surroundings, he thought of scenes from movies and TV dramas. Could this be the Tianshan Snow Lotus?

The flower has six petals and a pure white stamen inside.

After plucking the small white flower, Zhu Chongjiu, wary of the giant wolf and polar bear, did not observe it carefully.

Looking at this little white flower now, I can't see its roots.

It has only one stem, making it look like a plastic flower stuck in a snowdrift.

If it weren't for the faint fragrance emanating from the flowers, Zhu Chongjiu would have thought they looked more and more like glowing plastic flowers!

Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment, then plucked a petal and used his inner strength to throw it near the polar bear's mouth.

Without a second thought, the polar bear took a big bite, swallowing the petals and the surrounding snow whole, without even chewing.

Zhu Chongjiu saw that Xiong Dagang had a reaction after swallowing the flower petal.

A faint white light slowly emanated from the bear's body, just like the white light on the flower.

At this moment, Xiong Da's wounds were healing at an astonishing speed.

Holy crap; this is a magical flower that can bring the dead back to life!

Five or six minutes later, the polar bear's wounds had completely healed, and Zhu Chongjiu felt that the bear seemed to have grown a little bit bigger than before.

At this moment, the polar bear stood on its hind paws, its front paws off the ground, and began to roar with its mouth wide open in a standing position.

Zhu Chongjiu covered his ears and shouted, "Alright, stop howling! Don't you know you're disturbing the peace?!"

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's voice, the polar bear immediately stopped roaring and then looked leisurely at the flower in Zhu Chongjiu's hand.

Upon seeing the polar bear's gaze, Zhu Chongjiu immediately put the flower behind his back and said, "Big Bear, my mother always told me that good things should be savored slowly and not eaten all at once. So, I'll keep the remaining two petals for you for now!"

After Zhu Chongba finished speaking, he grinned at the polar bear, showing off his big teeth!

Upon hearing this, the polar bear immediately objected, baring its teeth as if it intended to take on Zhu Chongjiu!

When Zhu Chongjiu saw the polar bear baring its teeth at him, he immediately pointed his greatsword forward. What did that mean, "Big Bear, are you tired of living?"

Zhu Chongjiu continued, "Don't think that just because you've grown a little bit, it'll be as easy for me to beat you as an elephant stepping on an ant."

Even if you eat all of these flowers and grow several times larger, it'll be just as easy for me to beat you up as it is for a father to beat his son, understand?

You're even showing your teeth at me now!

As Zhu Chongjiu was about to step forward and teach the polar bear a lesson, the polar bear immediately lay down when it saw Zhu Chongjiu approaching, its face displaying an expression that was more like a laugh than a cry.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu thought: "You little brat, I'll get you!"

Zhu Chongjiu pointed his sword at the wolf king, who was already dead, and said to Xiong Da, "It's only because you're alive that I'm still alive. If it were alive, I would have killed it with one sword. What I hate most are treacherous and cunning people!"

Seeing that you're a big, clumsy guy, I'll be more honest. I kept you here because I believe in being people-oriented and making friends in a strange city. Otherwise, I would have just killed you and plucked three petals to put next to your corpse as a way of keeping my promise to divide the petals equally. I didn't ask anyone to continue living!

Although Zhu Chongjiu said that, what he was thinking was, "Damn it, I'll pick up the petals again later, they'll still be mine!"

The polar bear lay there prostrate, listening to Zhu Chongjiu's sermons and threats.

Watching Zhu Chongjiu circle around him with his sword, he was terrified that one of the swords would strike his head. Animals' instinct for danger is many times stronger than that of humans.

Knowing deep down that he couldn't beat the man in front of him, the polar bear really wanted to go home to his mother!

After listening to Zhu Chongjiu's lecture for more than ten minutes, Zhu Chongjiu stopped talking, looked at the polar bear with gentle eyes and said: Brother Xiong, I have a favor to ask you!

Help me transport these giant wolves to my home, and once they're there, I'll give you a flower petal right away!

Actually, when Zhu Chongjiu was cursing the polar bear, he wasn't just cursing the bear. He was mainly thinking about how to transport the wolf meat to his den, and also about whether Xiong Da would have any aftereffects or side effects after eating the flower petals!

He found a test subject for the drug; otherwise, Zhu Chongjiu might not have been able to keep the giant bear.

It's been almost half an hour since the bear ate the flower petals, and not only is it unharmed, but it's also showing signs of strengthening.

Although Zhu Chongjiu was 100% certain that the flower was a miraculous medicine, it was always better to be safe than sorry. He was all alone with him, and if something really happened, he would be left with no one to turn to for help!

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, the polar bear immediately stood up and nodded. However, when the polar bear looked back at the wolf carcasses on the ground, it could lift them, but how could it do so?

The polar bear turned to look at Zhu Chongjiu, and Zhu Chongjiu instantly understood what the polar bear meant from its face.

Zhu Chongjiu said, "Xiong Da, your facial expressions are too rich. Is it because you have thick skin and many wrinkles?"

Zhu Chongjiu continued, "Xiong Da, don't worry, I've already thought of a way."

One wolf's tail is tied to the head of another wolf, and so on, forming two chains. Xiong Da can grab one chain with one paw, leaving his two hind paws to walk, and then I sit on Xiong Da's shoulder.

Zhu Chongjiu laughed heartily, feeling incredibly cool—he'd never been so cool in his life!

And so, Zhu Chongjiu sat on the polar bear's shoulder and chatted with Xiong Da.

Xiong Da, I'll call you Xiong Da from now on. I don't know what people in this world call you.

After saying that, he looked down at the sword in his hand, touched the blade with his other hand, and said, "From now on, I'll call you Great Sword!"

Xiong Da didn't react, but after hearing the name Zhu Chongjiu gave it, the sword moved slightly, as if it was about to fly away on its own.

Zhu Chongjiu hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him, "Great sword, great sword, I know you want to fly, but don't fly yet, because I can't fly yet. If you can't fly back, how am I supposed to save you? So wait until I can fly too, then you can fly!"

The more Zhu Chongjiu talked, the more violently the blade of the great sword trembled. In the midst of Zhu Chongjiu's rambling, the two of them, one person and one bear, followed by two strings of giant wolf corpses, returned to the entrance of the cave.

Zhu Chongjiu jumped off Xiong Da's shoulder and said to Xiong Da, "Find a place to sit anywhere. When you come to my house, make yourself at home. If you're thirsty, have a couple of bites of snow. I don't have any tea or water here!"

Xiong Da looked at Zhu Chongjiu with disdain. Zhu Chongjiu slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!" He took out a flower petal from his hand and gave it to Xiong Da.

Then Zhu Chongjiu walked into the cave and put the petals into the pool. Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "I'll put them in the water. If I leave them outside, they'll dry out and lose their medicinal effect!"

After releasing the flower petals, Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment. In fact, after discovering that the white flower was harmless to people, Zhu Chongjiu had considered killing Xiong Da. However, Zhu Chongjiu was not a cruel and indiscriminate killer. Back on Earth, he hadn't even killed many chickens!

Zhu Chongjiu muttered to himself, "If you don't want to kill it, then so be it. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. It's fate that I met it in this strange world."

Waiting for that wolf king...!

Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. All I can say is that I don't like it, but I still want to thank Brother Wolf King for the food he provided!

After Zhu Chongjiu finished his sigh, he turned around and walked out!

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu emerged from the cave, the flowers in the pool began to change, like candles placed in hot oil, slowly melting until they reached the flower's stamen. Inside the stamen was a silvery-white seed the size of a watermelon seed, which drifted to the bottom of the pool. After the seed landed on a stone at the bottom of the pool, it did not stop, but slowly seemed to melt into the stone. Its exact destination is unknown!

Zhu Chongjiu went outside the cave and began skinning and butchering the animals. Xiong Da lay down next to him, watching Zhu Chongjiu work!

Zhu Chongjiu looked up at Xiong Da and didn't see the flower petal he had given Xiong Da earlier. He wondered if he had let Xiong Da eat it or put it away.

Zhu Chongjiu asked Xiong Da curiously, "Where are the flower petals? Did you eat them?"

Big Bear raised his paw and pointed to his ear, then pointed in a direction in the distance.

Zhu Chongjiu understood. They were packing it up to take away! There was a bear at home, could it be Xiong Er? Zhu Chongjiu chuckled at the thought!

While working, Zhu Chongjiu said to Xiong Da, "Xiong Da, don't worry, I'll give you the last petal after I finish processing the wolf skin and wolf meat."

Xiong Da immediately nodded vigorously!

After working for three or four hours, Zhu Chongjiu finally finished processing the giant wolf's carcass. His stomach was growling with hunger. He looked up at Xiong Da, pointed to the cut-up giant wolf meat, and asked, "Want some?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Da stood up, twitched his nose slightly, nodded, and headed straight for the cut-up pile of meat, ready to open his mouth!

Zhu Chongjiu got anxious and rushed over to block the pile of meat, saying directly, "I was just going to do it for show, and you actually went for it? With your big body, is this pile of meat enough for you to eat for two meals?"

If you eat all that food in one meal, what am I supposed to eat? Eat snow and drink the northwest wind?

Xiong Da looked at Zhu Chongjiu with an expression that said, "If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be something you're not."

Zhu Chongjiu's eyes darted around as he said, "How about this, I can't make sure you're full, but I can make sure you're well!"

I'll cook you a meal you've never had in your life. After all, you deserve some credit for those giant wolves kicking the bucket, so consider this my reward for you!

At this moment, Xiong Da's inner turmoil was: What do you mean I deserve some credit? It's all my credit, you only killed one from beginning to end!

That said, if Zhu Chongjiu hadn't killed eight giant wolves and then stayed out of the fight, it's hard to say who would have won this little white deer tonight.

Otherwise, why would both sides obediently monitor each other, with neither daring to take the initiative? The giant wolf wouldn't dare to drive away Xiong Da, and Xiong Da wouldn't dare to directly seize territory.

They're evenly matched!

Zhu Chongjiu rummaged through the cave for three giant wolf legs, one for himself and two for Xiong Da, who was so big.

Xiong Da waited outside the cave entrance, and Zhu Chongjiu called out before going inside to dig and scratch.

Throughout the entire process, Xiong Da never took any action or had any intention of entering the cave.

Once we reached the cave entrance, we just lay down there, and the only thing we did was stand up.

As Zhu Chongjiu roasted the wolf leg, he thought to himself, "Judging from the current situation, Xiong Da's intelligence is no less than that of a sensible child who can see the situation clearly. This is the minimum standard; it may be even higher."
