Ma Qing took Ya Qiu away, and Lin Huanhuan got the list of raw materials she wanted.

Shuang Yun sent the two male beasts to Ma Qing’s house to take away the two large barrels of wine.

After settling these matters, Lin Huanhuan was about to get up and look for Bai Di, when she heard a plop from behind her!

Lang Zhu yelled, “Shuang Yun!”

Lin Huanhuan immediately turned around and saw that Shuang Yun had fallen to the ground.

She and Lang Zhu hurried over and helped support him up on either side.

When Lin Huanhuan touched his body, she was immediately shocked. “So cold! Why is his body so cold?!”

It was like ice. It was not the temperature a living person should have!

Lang Zhu immediately saw the pattern on Shuang Yun’s arm. His expression changed. “A star pattern…”

He immediately called two strong male beasts to lift Shuang Yun.

Lang Zhu said, “Send the tribe leader to my house! Now!”

Lin Huanhuan was frightened by Lang Zhu’s intense reaction and she quickly followed behind them.

There was only one stone bed in the witch doctor’s house. That bed was now occupied by the injured Bai Di. Lang Zhu didn’t have time to get someone to build another stone bed, so he had them throw two thick hides on the ground and put Shuang Yun on them.

Lang Zhu instructed the two male beasts. “Guard the door. No matter who comes, don’t let them in!”

Due to his serious tone, they immediately committed his words to memory and turned to leave the house, closing the door behind them.

Shuang Yun’s eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and his body temperature was dropping.

A thin layer of frost had already formed on the surface of his body.

Lin Huanhuan was very worried that if this continued, he would freeze to death.

She couldn’t help herself and asked, “What happened to Shuang Yun?”

Lang Zhu was anxious. “The star pattern has appeared, and the soul beast in his body has been awakened. This should be a good thing, but why was it awakened at this time?!”

Lin Huanhuan was puzzled. “Star pattern? Soul beast? What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know?” He was surprised at her lack of common sense but still patiently explained it to her.

“When a beast evolves, star patterns will appear. Having star patterns is equivalent to awakening a soul beast. The soul beast can greatly increase the battle power of the beast.”

Lin Huanhuan seemed to understand. “From what you said, star patterns and soul beasts should be good things. Why do you look so nervous?”

“Not every beast can have a star pattern, and not every star pattern can awaken a soul beast. Many beasts fail in the process of evolving, causing them to die.”

Lin Huanhuan was shocked by his words.

Lang Zhu said, “Evolution is a test bestowed by G.o.d to beasts. Only by pa.s.sing the test can one awaken the soul beast in one’s body and become a true soul beast powerhouse. If one can’t pa.s.s the test, one will be a failure and will be eliminated.”

The strong preyed on the weak and the strong were respected.

That was how beasts survived.

Lin Huanhuan was very anxious. “Then is there anything we can do to help Shuang Yun?”

“Shuang Yun’s father was also a soul beast. According to tradition, he should have helped Shuang Yun to awaken his beast soul when he reached adulthood.

With an adult soul beast around, the soul beast in Shuang Yun’s body could be appeased to the greatest extent.

At the same time, it could also minimize the chances of his evolution failing. Unfortunately, Shuang Yun’s father died long ago, so Shuang Yun never had the chance to awaken the soul beast in his body.

I thought that the soul beast in his body might have already sunk to the bottom and died when Shuang Yun was faced with his father’s death. I didn’t expect it to suddenly appear today.”

The old witch doctor’s words made Lin Huanhuan panic.

Her eyes were red with anxiety. “In that case, is there nothing we can do but watch Shuang Yun suffer?”

“It doesn’t matter if he suffers a little. As long as he can evolve successfully, all the suffering will be worth it. But… I’m afraid that even if he suffers, he’ll still fail in the end…”

Failure equaled death.

Lin Huanhuan could not accept this. Although Shuang Yun had a bad personality and a nasty mouth, he had saved her and Bai Di’s lives. He was a very good beast.

She didn’t want him to die!

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but cry.

“Boo-hoo, Shuang Yun, you have to hold on. You can’t die…”

Her cries woke Bai Di from his slumber.

Bai Di managed to sit up. His face was pale from his injuries. “Why are you crying? What happened to Shuang Yun?”

Lin Huanhuan immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. “Shuang Yun is about to die, boo-hoo!”

“Die?” Bai Di was surprised. He remembered that Shuang Yun had not been injured. At most, he was frozen by the wind and snow, but he would not die from that frostbite!

Lang Zhu quickly explained. “Shuang Yun’s star pattern has appeared.”

The words immediately made sense.

He sighed helplessly. “I don’t know if he’s unlucky or lucky to have a star pattern at a time like this.”

Bai Di patted Huanhuan’s back. “Help me down. I’m going to check on Shuang Yun.”

Lang Zhu said quickly, “You’re still injured. You’d better not move.”

“Don’t worry, I know my own body. I just want to move around a little. I won’t die.”

At Bai Di’s insistence, Lang Zhu and Lin Huanhuan helped him out of bed.

Bai Di leaned closer to examine the star pattern on Shuang Yun’s arm.

The silver-white wolf beast pattern was faintly discernible, and it emitted a terrifying cold aura.

Bai Di narrowed his narrow blue eyes. “Silvery Frost White Wolf.”

Lang Zhu said, “Shuang Yun is indeed the descendant of the Silvery Frost White Wolf.”

Bai Di seemed to understand. “I suppose that’s fate…”

He paused, then said, “I can save him.”

Hearing this, Lin Huanhuan was shocked.

Lang Zhu was skeptical. “Can you really save Shuang Yun?”

Without further explanation, Bai Di unb.u.t.toned the skirt of his hide to reveal the star pattern tattoo on his waist.

There was a lifelike tiger totem surrounded by three small stars and dark blue patterns that glowed.

Lang Zhu’s eyes were wide with shock.

“T-This is a three-starred soul beast…”

Bai Di said indifferently, “Is a three-starred soul beast enough to appease the Silvery Frost White Wolf’s soul beast?”

Lang Zhu immediately knelt down. “As long as you can save Shuang Yun, you’ll be the most respected guest of our Rock Wolf Tribe! As long as you say the word, regardless of whether it’s a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, we’ll serve you!”

Lin Huanhuan also grabbed Bai Di’s arm and begged him. “Please save Shuang Yun!”

Bai Di didn’t beat around the bush. “I can save him.” He agreed. “But I can’t do it alone.”

“How?”

“If I want to appease the soul beast in Shuang Yun’s body, I have to be his family. I have no relationship with Shuang Yun. If I rashly make a move, I’m afraid it’ll stimulate the soul beast in his body. At that time, not only will I not be able to save him but I’ll also harm him.”

Lang Zhu quickly asked, “So what do you have in mind?”

“I have an idea, but I need Huanhuan’s help.”
