The two didn't return until late at night.

The tigers are fast runners. During the time between the last Fire God Festival and the migration to Sunset Cliff, Mu Yunyun had already explored most of the map of the rainforest. This time, she was just going out to explore the Great Swamp, a place rarely visited by people.

In addition to harvesting wheat seedlings, Mu Yunyun also collected a lot of medicinal herbs.

She discovered that since awakening her wood-elemental spiritual vein, the herbs in the mountains and fields had started to glow, becoming incredibly bright.

Other spiritual veins do not show any obvious effect at present.

"Xiao Xi, have you awakened your spiritual veins yet?"

“No rush,” Di Xi said. “It’s not too late to awaken after you reach the sixth rank.”

Mu Yunyun understood.

Once an orc reaches a higher level, each advancement is fraught with peril, often resulting in a near-death experience.

Awakening one's spiritual veins occurs when an orc is at their weakest; if they accidentally break through at this time, it is extremely dangerous.

The same applies to Yoru.

Ye Yu, who was at the peak of the third rank, was just one step away from entering the fourth rank, but he still hadn't used the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Having figured this out, Mu Yunyun decided to wait and see and not rush things.

What she was worried about was her wheat seedlings.

Back in her nest, she couldn't wait to go into her space and start farming.

Mu Yunyun carefully planted the wheat seedlings on the ridge of the field. To her surprise, after being irrigated by the stream, the wheat seedlings grew like crazy and ripened in no time.

You should know that she doesn't have any points, so she can't accelerate her growth.

Mu Yunyun took out all the seeds from the herbal gift pack, but they didn't sprout at all, let alone grow.

Undeterred, she switched to some wild vegetable seeds, and unsurprisingly, they sprouted and matured quickly.

Mu Yunyun: "!!!"

She got it!

She is currently at the peak of the second tier, and both the soil and the stream have improved with her advancement.

The planting speed of second-grade herbs is not much faster, but the growth rate of these low-grade wild vegetables and crops is incredibly fast!

Mu Yunyun was excited.

If that's the case, then we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore. With this growth rate, we won't have to worry about winter or even famine!

She took a deep breath, and the overwhelming surprise instantly filled her with energy.

Transplanting rice seedlings, weeding, harvesting—Mu Yunyun was busy all night long. Half an acre of wheat seedlings grew one crop after another, all piled high on the ridge of the field.

The final step is to grind it into flour using a stone mill.

Mu Yunyun wasn't in a hurry about that.

She removed the bran from some of the wheat, put it in a pottery jar, and prepared it as a generous gift for Emperor Jiang.

"Just tiger-grass?"

Looking at the wheat grains, each one stripped of its bran, in the earthenware jar, Mu Bai could hardly believe it.

"Isn't this a bit too perfunctory?"

"will not."

Mu Yunyun was absolutely confident about this.

"Is what I was asked to prepare ready?"

"It was prepared long ago."

Mu Bai handed over the animal skin bag.

"We don't know what the situation will be like in Yuanzhou. Take all these pearls with you, just in case."

“Not so much.”

"Take it if we tell you to. With Dongzhuhai currency on you, the big clans won't look down on you. You have everything you need at home. If you don't need it, just bring it back."

Having said that, Mu Yunyun had no choice but to accept the animal skin bag.

"Mom!"

Sudden.

A crisp voice rang out from behind Mu Bai. Mu Yunyun glanced over and saw a little pink dumpling pop out.

"Boss?"

Mu Yunyun was overjoyed. She squatted down, picked up the cub, and looked at Mu Bai excitedly: "Boss has actually transformed! Why didn't you tell me?"

Mu Bai smiled gently. The once thin and timid boy had become a father, exuding a warm and composed aura.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but it took a while to transform and won't last long."

That's still pretty impressive.

Mu Yunyun looked at her son: "Mom is going on a long trip. Be good to your father at home. If you cause trouble and make your father angry, I will beat you when I get back."

The cub has just transformed and can't speak yet, but it can still understand the word "beat".

His little mouth twitched, and he burst into tears.

Mu Yunyun panicked and looked to Mu Bai for help.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Give it to me quickly." Mu Bai looked at her reproachfully: "He is still young and doesn't know any better. You are too fierce as his mother."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Come here, let Mom hug you."

Mu Bai wouldn't let her hug him.

The cub, however, stretched out its two chubby little hands and grabbed Mu Yunyun, refusing to let go. Mu Yunyun's heart softened at the sight.

She quickly picked up the cub, kissed and coaxed it, and finally made the little guy laugh.

"Has the eldest brother been named yet?"

"It's waiting for you to pick it up."

Mu Yunyun pinched the little pink dumpling's face: "Sorghum, millet, rice, hemp, beans, and wheat, let's take the character 'Ji' to bless my snow weasel clan, so that the five grains may be plentiful and there may be no hunger for a hundred years."

Mu Bai couldn't understand the first half of the sentence, but he understood the last one.

"This name is too strong; won't it shorten my lifespan?"

"Then let's call him Dog Egg. A humble name is easier to raise."

"You!" Mu Bai snatched the cub from Mu Yunyun's hands: "Aren't we going to Yuanzhou? Your partner is still waiting outside. If he gets impatient, you'll have to go and coax him."

That's a bit sarcastic.

However, Mu Yunyun didn't understand.

"Then I'll be going now. Take good care of the cubs and wait for me to come back."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about things at home."

"With you here, I naturally feel at ease."

These words warmed Mu Bai's heart, but she also secretly scolded herself for being so weak and easily coaxed.

He's going to be angry.

For the past month, he has been nowhere to be seen. Whenever asked, he says he went to the Tiger Clan. When he comes back, he doesn't say a word to her, let alone show any affection.

They barely managed to exchange a few words before mentioning that person and then hurriedly left.

Looking at the cub in his arms, which could no longer support him and had turned back into its original form, Mu Bai couldn't help but feel his eyes redden.

"gone?"

Ye Yu stepped into the nest, and Mu Bai, hearing the noise, quickly wiped away her tears.

"Yeah, they just left. Aren't you going to see them off?"

"That's all."

Ye Yu sat down, his face as cold and sharp as a mountain peak, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Mu Bai didn't want to bring it up again, so he just smiled and said, "She named the eldest son Ji'er. I said that the name was too heavy and would shorten his lifespan. But she gave him a nickname, Gou Dan (Dog Egg). When the eldest son grows up, he will definitely cause trouble."

"Like her temperament."

Ye Yu could even deduce from the last few words of her name what she had casually mentioned. These few words were the only way he knew about her.

"Which one?" he asked.

“I’ve never heard of that word before.” Mu Bai repeated her words verbatim: “Ji’er is still young, and I didn’t intend for him to achieve anything. After all, many of her children are outstanding, and it’s not good to compete with them.”

"Take this, it's for the cubs."

A marrow cleansing pill was handed to him, but Mu Bai quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"What are you doing? Take it back immediately..."

"Consider it my birthday gift to my little one, as his foster father."

"This is too precious, Ji'er is still too young."

Ye Yu pretended not to hear, stuffed the Marrow Cleansing Pill into the cub's animal skin, and rubbed its little head. Looking at the fluffy ball in front of him, it was as if he were looking at another person through it...
