Chapter 900: Medicinal Bath Time!

When Handsome Giant Wolf pushed open the small door with his big paw, he received Xia Qing's enthusiastic welcome. "Handsome Wolf Bro, you're here, please come in!"

Handsome Giant Wolf stared at the uncharacteristically friendly Xia Qing with his ice-blue eyes for two seconds, then decisively pulled his paw back.

Before the self-closing security door shut slowly, Xia Qing grabbed it. She raised her head and, as calmly and sincerely as she could, thanked the mount wolf who had brought her good fortune.

"Handsome Wolf Bro, thank you so much for taking me to find humans yesterday, and for protecting me when the western wolf pack was about to attack me. To show my gratitude, I've prepared some tasty nutrient water for you."

After saying this, Xia Qing ran off to make a drink Handsome Giant Wolf liked—nutrient source, pollution-free spring water, and spinach juice—and brought it to the bathroom door.

Honey? She only had two jars of honey left; she had to make them last.

After finishing the water, Handsome Giant Wolf turned to look at the tub in the bathroom, his attitude unmistakable:

Time for a medicinal bath!

Xia Qing took the bowl Handsome Giant Wolf had licked clean to the kitchen, washed and put it away, then came back out to thank him again with words and gestures.

Handsome Giant Wolf paid no attention to what Xia Qing was saying or gesturing, only staring at the tub.

Communicating with this wolf who ignored her required a different approach. Xia Qing walked into the bathroom and began filling the tub with water.

Hearing the sound of water, Handsome Giant Wolf immediately walked into the bathroom and lay down in the tub.

Xia Qing...

Luckily the water she was running was the right temperature, otherwise...

No, Handsome Giant Wolf wasn't stupid—he wouldn't have jumped in if it were too hot.

So Xia Qing, while filling the tub, patiently explained to Handsome Giant Wolf why he could take a medicinal bath today, hoping he'd stop being so stubborn in the future and obediently carry her around.

Once the tub was full, Xia Qing took a bag of blue medicinal liquid from the fridge and poured it into the warm water, stirring it evenly.

Whether or not the medicinal liquid would cause pain while soaking, Handsome Giant Wolf—who had already given in—definitely wouldn't leap up and go berserk. So Xia Qing left the bathroom with peace of mind, grabbed Does Daigua the monkey who had climbed onto the steps, put him back by the basket, and told him to get back to work. "Does Daigua, once you finish stripping this flower head, I'll give you some spinach juice."

Does Daigua the monkey began slowly scraping seeds off the sunflower head again, and Xia Qing continued working while listening to the radio.

With his ears finally at peace, Handsome Giant Wolf closed his eyes and submerged his neck into the medicinal bath as well.

"Luo-ge, you there?"

Tang Huai's inquiry came through the walkie-talkie channel.

"Here." Luo Pei gave a brief reply.

"I heard the sniper from Hui Wuchunfeng Squad who was bitten to death by an evolved wolf in Chen Dongyang's team also took part in this spring's action of brutally killing western wolf pack pups. Is that true?"

Handsome Giant Wolf in the bathroom opened his ice-blue eyes, brimming with killing intent.

Does Daigua the monkey was so scared he slowly scooted toward Xia Qing; Little Feimao, who had been picking seeds in the basket, darted swiftly into Xia Qing's pocket; Sheep Boss continued pedaling his flashy bicycle; Wolf Lao Er, who had been lying beside Xia Qing, stood up and walked into the bathroom.

The animals all reacting this way meant they had sensed the change in Handsome Giant Wolf's aura. Xia Qing confirmed once more that this wolf's comprehension of human language far exceeded her expectations.

This meant Handsome Giant Wolf's brain evolution was also quite advanced. His lack of facial expression wasn't because he wasn't smart, but because he was born with an icy face.

Luo Pei replied, "Chen Dongyang's group is being interrogated. I haven't received any news yet."

Zhao Ze came online. "I saw the pictures. This sniper died in exactly the same way as Xue Jinchang. It must be true."

Yuan Yan joined the group chat. "Chen Dongyang, who colluded with people from other bases and had evolved wolves launch a beast tide to attack our territory, deserves to die even more. This time we absolutely cannot let him leave alive."

Kuang Qingwei felt killing them wasn't enough to vent his hatred. "Killing them directly is too easy on them. They should be sentenced to forced labor, worked until they die."

Wen Nengjie also came online. "I still think it's better to just kill them. Chen Dongyang is smooth-talking and good at climbing into bed—who knows, if we let him live, he might be released someday."

Tang Huai immediately reminded him, "Old Wen, there are kids in the group. Watch your mouth."

"Sorry, sorry." Wen Nengjie apologized at once.

Mother Shi picked up the thread. "Thanks to the blessing of the Divine Wolf, the western wolf pack didn't attack our territory."

After everyone expressed their gratitude to the Divine Wolf, Tang Huai began sharing the next piece of news. "Everyone heard? The sea beasts and raptors occupying Base Gui Three have come into conflict, and Base Gui Five has asked our base for help. Luo-ge, you guys received the rescue mission request, right?"

Luo Pei answered, "Received it. I depart the day after tomorrow."

She hadn't expected Luo-ge to leave so soon. Xia Qing was quite reluctant to part, but Luo-ge going to Gui Five meant he could fight side by side with Yan Long—how wonderful.

"Luo-ge really is the capable one who works the hardest, never getting a few days off all year. It's precisely because our base has a top sniper like you holding things down, and the brothers of the Inspection Squad risking their lives to protect us, that we can farm in peace within the territory." Wen Nengjie emotionally made his presence felt. "Luo-ge, you must be careful when carrying out missions out there."

Zhao Ze asked, "Huai-ge, do you know which kind of sea beast and which kind of raptor are fighting at Gui Three?"

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Luo Pei answered, "It started when a giant eagle on a mountain inside Base Gui Three preyed on a newly born evolved great white shark pup. The great white shark mobilized many sea beasts—I'm not sure yet exactly how many species."

"Holy crap!" Tang Huai was stunned. "Sky overlord versus ocean overlord—this is going to be a show."

Wen Nengjie asked the question Xia Qing wanted to ask. "Luo-ge, why is Base Gui Five so nervous about two kinds of evolved beasts fighting within Gui Three's range?"

Luo Pei answered, "The evolved sea beasts are acting together to topple the seaside cliff occupied by the giant eagle. Once that cliff sinks into the sea, it will increase the danger of Base Gui Five being flooded by seawater."

So Base Gui Five was already this dangerous? The lord channel fell silent.

Shi Du suddenly asked, "Aren't sharks fish? Aren't fish egg-layers? How can a big shark give birth to a baby shark?"

Everyone...

Tang Huai quipped, "You'll have to ask your class monitor for that question. Class Monitor Tan, are you there?"

Tan Qi is currently studying at the school in Northern Zone One and is the class monitor of her class.

Jiang Ying in Territory Fifteen pressed the button. "Tan Qi hasn't finished her homework yet. She's not online."

Zhu Li, who like Shi Du was nervously reviewing for the junior high graduation exam, answered, "I just looked it up online and found that although the great white shark is a fish, it's an ovoviviparous animal."

Shi Du asked again, "Sister Li, what's the difference between ovoviviparous and viviparous?"

Zhu Li replied, "I'm still looking it up. Lord Huo Lei, do you know?"

Zhu Li and Shi Du, who had originally planned to take the junior high graduation exam next year, both felt they were studying well enough and decided to take it this year. Lord Huo Lei also signed his son up, telling him to take the exam too.

So Huo Zhun, who had only just retired and hadn't enjoyed a few days of freedom, began the bitter days of cramming books.

He was a member of Yan Long's Special Ops Team and had fought sea beasts plenty, but he really didn't know this one. "If it were a multiple-choice question, I'd definitely pick the right answer."

Everyone...

Lord Huo Lei in Territory Eleven glared. "Turn off that walkie-talkie and go study! If you don't pass the exam in a few days, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"

Whether or not he knew the answer to this question, or whether he had a junior high school diploma, really didn't affect his combat power...

The miserable Huo Zhun didn't dare talk back, shrinking into a ball. "Dad, I'll go right after I hear the answer to this question."
