In the end, Gu Mengmeng did not get to retreat back to the cave.

Elvis turned into a wolf, shaking the ash black fur on his body. Lea then carried Gu Mengmeng onto Elvis’s back, while he followed diagonally behind Elvis, with his big tail occasionally sweeping Gu Mengmeng’s back in a flirting way.

As what Lea had said himself, he was doing his job as the character of being a vixen, a vixen that had been approved by the legal wife.

The four littles ones were banned from running around in the snow due to their mother. They were too small and unable to clean off the dirt on their body through transforming like Elvis. If their fur remained wet all the time, Gu Mengmeng was worried that they might catch a cold.

Hence, Jialue, the only one to Elvis’s liking, laid beside Gu Mengmeng’s legs obediently, in a position close to Elvis shoulders. The biggest brother Kede, was carried by Gu Mengmeng in her arms, occasionally acting cute to her. The second brother Chixuan laid on Lea’s shoulders, his big eyes darted across the surroundings, excited to see all the new things. His front paws scratched and knocked on Lea’s shoulders, murmuring words that no one could understand with his baby voice.

The naughtiest Kanwu was carried by Lea in his arms, as he had been too disobedient, always wanting to run on the ground and he had howled a few times to say that he could walk himself. He only settled down after Evis gave him a stare, he did not dare to fool around openly, but was always trying to break free from Lea’s arms secretly.

Lea grabbed his two hind legs and gave a light slap on his butt with the other hand. He said using beast language, “level pressure cannot be crossed. At least wait until you have mated if you want to get out of my hands. You can give up now, I won’t do anything that will make your mother frown.”

Gu Mengmeng could not understand what Lea had said, she turned back to look at Lea and Kanwu, but the two of them pretended nothing had happened in unison and kept smiling pretentiously at Gu Mengmeng.

Elvis brought the whole family to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment. It was strange. Everywhere had melted snow, except this stone being so dry, without a single trace of water.

Elvis jumped onto it swiftly, before bending to let Gu Mengmeng down.

While Gu Mengmeng was jumping down from Elvis’s beast form with the two children, Lea had turned into his fox form. He sat down into the taking-care-of-his-fur-state. He bit into Gu Mengmeng’s clothes and signaled for her to sit on him.

Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “Today is the day of Cold Break, all the tribesmen are coming in later, you are the tribe’s witch doctor, have some pride and change back.”

Lea did not force her, just stood up and shook his body. The fluffy and snow white fur on him looked like he was filming commercials for a shampoo brand.

But Lea did not change back to human form, neither did Elvis. The two of them stood at the boundaries of the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment. Without any communication, the two of them raised their head and howled at the sky uniformly.

“Owooooo—”

With Lea and Elvis’s howls ending, there came various howling answers from different beasts in the distance.

“Roar—”

“Wolf wolf,”

…

Then, Gu Mengmeng saw beasts approaching them one by one.

She would have felt scared by them in the past, but right now, she was glad to see them.

It was great to see everyone managed to survive the winter season, the fear she had before the winter of never seeing many familiar people again did not come true.
