Chapter 41: Morning Sprouts

  "No, I didn't!" Yao Nu's face turned red as she strongly denied it, but with her flirtatious nature, no matter how much she denied it, it was useless.

  Silk powder pushed Yao girl a push, then took the corn to the front of Cai Feng er, while feeding it, and touched its feathers. "Cai Feng er, where is Mo Yi er? Can you take me to find her?"

  Cai Feng'er eats very hard, but in fact, she is pretending to be deaf. She is a bird, and she doesn't understand anything.

  "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent!" Silkenie didn't mind that it couldn't understand and directly climbed onto its back. Cai Feng only then realized that she had been ridden by someone other than Mo Yi. Although this person always fed it food and was very good to it, but wasn't its master, she absolutely wouldn't allow it. "Ah ah" she cried out a few times, using all her might trying to shake Silkenie off her back.

  Xī Fǎng Niè didn't expect Cǎi Yǒng ér to have such a big reaction, and hurriedly tried to grab onto Cǎi Yǒng ér's feathers. Although she managed to grab some of the feathers, she was still flung off, and a large handful of beautiful, colorful feathers were pulled out as well. Cǎi Yǒng ér let out another pained cry.

  After all this commotion, everyone in the tribe woke up and stared blankly at the person and bird fooling around inside the cave.

  Before Silky Powder could say anything, Yao Nu jumped out and said: "Mo Yi'er, this bird has come back to steal food again, and Silky Powder is still feeding it."

  "Yao Nu, shut up for me. Cai Feng Er isn't coming back to steal food, I just like feeding it, what's it to you..."

  "Look, everyone, Moyi has corrupted all the people in the tribe. This waste of food for beasts to eat will bring heavenly punishment." Yao Nu originally wanted to say that wasting food would bring divine retribution, but remembering that everyone thought Moyi was a divine being, she changed her words.

  "What's wrong with feeding Cai Ling'er? The gods would also be willing to let us raise birds, look at the rabbits outside, when they grow up, they will become my food too, we are still raising them now. Yao Nu, don't talk nonsense here."

  "Yes, Yao Nu, how did you suddenly become like this? What has Mo Yi done to offend you that you always speak ill of him?" Sang Zhen also stood up and asked Yao Nu with great indignation.

  "You, you... Waaah~ You actually treated me like this for the sake of an outsider. Sang Zhen, when we were young, you always took care of me, why have you become like this now?" Yao Nu couldn't understand, Sang Zhen was usually a kind person who liked to take care of the weak, and she, being a quiet and reserved person, was within Sang Zhen's scope of care, so why had she changed for Mo Yi'er?

  "Yao Nu, I'm taking care of you just like before, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate your mistakes. Mo Yi Er is the tribe's lucky star, and with her, the tribe has been getting better and better. But you actually drove her away! I didn't scold you during the day because you were injured and pitiful, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry." Sang Zhen unleashed her temper and scolded Yao Nu fiercely. If she weren't a woman from their own tribe, she would have liked to walk up and slap her a few times.

  No matter what others say, Yao Nu can't figure it out. She just thinks that if Mo Yi'er wasn't around, things would go back to the way they were before. She could still hang out with Chu Yan and Sang Zhen would take good care of her.

  No matter what, the vast majority of people in the tribe were condemning Yao Nu, only a few felt sorry for Yao Nu and suspected Mo Yi Er. There were also a few, like Ka Sa, who thought that Mo Yi Er was not to blame, but rather it was the fault of fierce beasts like Xiao Rong Qiu.

  "Alright, stop arguing." Chu Yan's unusually low and stern rebuke was not loud, but it quieted everyone down. The leader's authority was not to be challenged casually. "Yaonv, your behavior today is very disappointing. As previously said by Silfeni, Moye'er has made great contributions to the tribe. Regardless of whether I like her or not, if she were to leave the tribe, it would be a loss for the tribe. I won't let that happen."

  "Leader..." Yao Nu was about to explain, to argue something, but was interrupted by Chu Yan.

  "It's already happened, I don't want to hear any more. Everyone go to sleep, we still have work to do tomorrow."

  "Yes!" The tribespeople all returned to their warm beds to rest, but Mo Yi'er had no kang to sleep on and no animal hide to cover herself with. If it weren't for the small ball of down, she wouldn't have known how to get through this cold early spring night.

  Cai Feng'er returned before dawn, with a pack of corn on its back given by Xi Fen Ni. Although the plan to find Mo Yi'er following it didn't work out, Xi Fen Ni couldn't bear to let such a beautiful bird go hungry, especially since it was Mo Yi'er's mount.

  Mo Yu'er opened her eyes to the morning light, she didn't sleep well last night, had a nightmare. In the dream, all species on earth disappeared, no humans, no golden lions, no tribesmen, no relatives, only she was left alone, lonely and terrifying.

  She had such a dream after her sister went missing, reflecting her lonely heart. Now she has this dream again because she is afraid of falling into such loneliness once more. She sat up, hugging the small plush ball recklessly, and only by feeling its warmth could she feel that she was not alone. "Little Plush Ball, Little Plush Ball..."

  "Hmm, Master, I'm here." The little ball of fluff was still sleepy, her sexy lips slightly parted as she responded to Mo Yi's words.

  "As long as you're here, everything is fine."

  "What's wrong? Master!"

  "It's nothing, just a nightmare." Gradually, Moyi'er's heart calmed down, at least for this moment, she was not alone.

  The little ball of fluff learned from the past and imitated Mo Yi's appearance, pampering her by patting her head, then burying his nose in her bosom to find his favorite softness.

  "Ah...... you......" Mo Yier was speechless, the warmth of just now all turned into nothingness by this pervert's action.

  "Mmm... Master, I want a hug, I want to rub against you." The little ball of fluff shook its wings for pets, and if its tail was visible now, it would definitely be wagging even more vigorously.

  "Hug your sister, it's time to get up." Mo Yuer pushed away the small ball of fluff that looked pure but was actually a big pervert. He tidied up his wrinkled beast skin: "I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat first. Hmm? I didn't bring my slingshot out."

  Mo Yu'er was depressed and had no way to hunt for food without a bow.

  "What does the master want to eat? I'm here! Bird eggs? Pheasant? Wild rabbit or goat, tiger..." Xiaorou chirped a lot, as long as Moyi'er wanted to eat something, he would find it for him.

  Mo Yu'er yawned and said, "It's still early in the morning, let's not have something so heavy. Why don't you go touch those two bird eggs? Boiled bird eggs will do!"

  "Alright."
