The Love Sect group and the Demon Palm Sect group just remained where they were for the rest of the night.
They could have kept going, but…after what had happened, they just didn’t want to keep going.
Of course, they didn’t stay where the fight had happened and instead found a safe spot nearby that wasn’t too far away.
Though even if they wanted to keep going, most of them just didn’t have the energy to do so.
Being suppressed by the two old men like that had really taken it out of them.
The one that was being run ragged the most right now was Huang Xie.
Because of what he did, everyone had been throwing everything to him as a form of punishment.
Because of his guilt over what he did, Huang Xie had no choice but to go along with this and be treated as everyone’s servant for the night.
Though it wasn’t as if they completely ran him ragged.
They still did things for themselves and just left a few of the more troublesome things to Huang Xie.
As for Xiao Ming, she just completely ignored all of this and went off to play with Xiao Bai.
Huang Xie even came from time to time to bring a few snacks for her.
It was almost as if he was a butler that was just there to take care of her every whim and it was clear by the look on his face that he enjoyed it.
With how it was going, it seemed like it would be a quiet and peaceful night…
That was until there was something that suddenly came out of the forest.
It was rustling in the bushes at first before there was a small figure that came out of it. However, this small figure wasn’t a human figure, but rather a small figure that was walking on four feet.
Everyone immediately raised their guards until they saw the appearance of this small figure.
It was a little bear.
This little bear seemed like it was just a child, but they still didn’t let their guards down since…a child bear usually meant that there was a mother around somewhere. Bears were known to be protective of their young after all.
Seeing this little bear wander into their camp, everyone started to pack up since they knew that it would just be better for them to move than to stay here with this bear.

But before anyone could actually move, the little bear came over to Xiao Ming and said, “Child, what is that you’re eating?”
The moment that this little bear said this, everyone dropped what they had been holding to turn to look at this little bear with a shocked look.
There was only silence that followed as not a single person could believe that the bear had actually just talked to them.
But the bear broke that silence by saying, “Child, are you ignoring me?”
With the way that it was looking at Xiao Ming, it was clear that this bear was talking to her.
After another long silence, Xiao Ming took some of the snacks that she had on her plate in her palm and she reached it out to the bear as she said, “It’s just some snacks.”
The little bear came forward to sniff at what it was being presented with before putting its face in Xiao Ming’s palm to eat the peanuts that it was being offered.
When it finished eating, the little bear looked up and said with a satisfied lick of its lips, “Not bad, child. This snack thing that you presented me with really is a tasty treat. To reward you, I’ll grant you one request.”
Everyone looked at the little bear with even more shocked looks when they heard this.
The way that the little bear spoke made it seem like an old man, but no matter how they looked at this little bear…
Xiao Ming didn’t take the little bear seriously, so she just waved her hand and said, “It’s fine, it’s just a few snacks. You should go back to your mom before she gets worried.”
The little bear narrowed its eyes when it heard this before saying, “My mother? She hasn’t been with me for the longest time.”
The way that everyone looked at the little bear changed when they heard this.
These were looks of sympathy that were directed in the little bear’s direction.
“Do you think that it’s mother abandoned it?”
“No, it must have gotten lost and is wandering around looking for its mother…”
“But will it be able to find its mother?”
These were the whispers that were being exchanged between people as they looked at the little bear.
Xiao Ming reached her hand out to pat the little bear who just went along with it. The little bear came forward and pressed its head up against her hand before rubbing against her palm.
The other girls looked at Xiao Ming with envious looks since they too wanted to pat this cute little bear as well.
Xiao Ming however couldn’t help finding it strange as she patted the little bear.
That was because…there was this strange feeling that came from her hand as she patted it.
It wasn’t a soft and fluffy feeling as one might think it was, but rather it was a hard feeling like this little bear’s fur was made of steel.
It seemed that only she would understand how this wasn’t as fun as it seemed.
When it was over, the little bear said, “Alright, little human child, what do you want from me? I will repay you for the favour of these snacks.”
Xiao Ming had an awkward look on her face as she looked down at her hand.
The look in her eyes made it clear that her thoughts were slowly changing.
The way that she looked at the little bear also changed as she started to realize that this little bear wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
At the same time though, that made it harder for Xiao Ming to actually ask for something.
After all, if there was something off about this little bear, it might be best to not engage with it. There was no telling what could go wrong if she got involved with this little bear, so it was best for her to not to ask for anything from it.
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, the little bear looked a bit impatient as it said, “Human child, am I really that terrifying? I’m just asking you if there’s anything that you want, it isn’t as if I’m planning on eating you.”
To the others, it might have seemed cute the way that the little bear had ‘threatened’ Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming couldn’t help giving a slight tremble when she heard this.
That was because the moment that she heard the little bear say this, she couldn’t help feeling that something was off. It was a strange sense of danger that filled her, as if this little bear could take her life at any moment.
Seeing that Xiao Ming still wasn’t saying anything, the little bear sat down and stroked its chin as if it was thinking before saying, “Human child, I’ll just give you the normal thing that you humans want. How about that?”
Xiao Ming didn’t know what this little bear was talking about, but she still nodded in agreement.
After all, the sooner that this matter was handled, the sooner that this little bear would leave them alone.
The little bear revealed a faint smile before saying, “Very good, there’s some nearby. We’ll go get it now.”
Then it stood up and started heading into the bushes around them.
In no time at all, the little bear disappeared without a trace, but Xiao Ming didn’t seem to follow.
After another moment, the little bear came back through the bush. It poked its head out in a cute manner as it asked Xiao Ming, “Human child, why are you not following me?”
Xiao Ming had an awkward look on her face when she heard this.
The little bear just waved its hand at her and said, “Come, human child. It’s this way.”
It almost seemed like a trap with the way that the little bear acted, but it wasn’t as if Xiao Ming could just ignore this little bear.
So in the end, she followed the little bear into the bush.
The others had been silently waiting to see what Xiao Ming would do and when she followed, they also followed her.
After all, they had also noticed that there was something strange with the little bear.
It wasn’t the same thing as Xiao Ming, it was just the simple fact that the little bear could talk to them. The fact that it was able to speak the human language and communicate with them was already a big sign that this wasn’t a normal little bear.
It was clear that this little bear was some kind of powerful spirit beast if it could communicate with humans.
After following the little bear for a bit, they came to a place that was filled with spiritual energy.
When they arrived in this place, the little bear said, “This is the place, it’s just a little further. I’ll get these herbs for you and then we’ll consider it even.”
Xiao Ming looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn’t get the chance to say anything as the little bear had already run forward.
So with a bitter smile, she had no choice but to follow the little bear.
