After checking her over and confirming that Yiyi was all right, merely needing some time to recuperate, Lu Ye finally relaxed. Amber was far stronger than before now, so Yiyi would not need long to recover this time.
It was not until the latter half of the night that the group of four returned to the valley.
Lu Ye's tent had been kept for him, and Mu Ling was already waiting there. She naturally gave him a thorough treatment.
Yet halfway through the treatment, Lu Ye had already fallen into a deep sleep.
He had been rushing about these past few days and fighting battle after battle. He truly was exhausted.
When he woke, the sky was already bright. A blanket covered him. Lu Ye climbed up, his gaze still somewhat dazed as he looked around. He did not see Amber, but Qiao Qiao'er's voice came from outside the tent. "Here, eat this. It's good stuff, and it smells amazing. You'll know once you try it. Hey, even if you won't eat it, don't bite people! Let go of my hand!"
Lu Ye got dressed and walked out, only to see Amber's bloody maw clamped around one of Qiao Qiao'er's arms. Qiao Qiao'er's body was twisted into an odd posture as she tried to pull her arm from the tiger's jaws, yet did not dare use too much force. The two were locked in a stalemate.
Their eyes met, and Lu Ye frowned. "What are you doing?"
Only then did Amber release her arm and walk over to rub against Lu Ye.
Qiao Qiao'er held up a bloody chunk of beast meat. "I was feeding it something, and it bit me anyway. One Leaf, your Spirit Beast is completely out of line."
Amber immediately let out a growl.
