The weather was gloomy and cold, with soft and fine rain blowing in my face, chilling me to the bone.

Fox Feifei sat on Bull's back, her face pale as she pulled her sable cloak tightly around her. However, the moist mist carrying water droplets penetrated every pore, and all the cold-proof clothes became useless.

Her nose was a little blocked, and she raised her cool eyes to gaze at the scenery shrouded in rain and fog, feeling a little desolate.

They had been on the road for two days. Although the climate in the sea area was relatively warm, the Orc Continent had recently entered its coldest season.

Even the sea areas were affected by the cold air, with the temperature dropping to freezing point, and it was cold and damp.

According to Bull, Lan Xiu is leading the team to a place called Ghost Island.

The Ghost Island is not just an island, but is composed of countless islands of different sizes.

Living there are a group of heinous stray beasts who work for the Lord of the Ghost Realm.

One of the islands is Lan Xiu's territory. He is also the right-hand man of the Lord of the Ghost Realm. He works hard for him, subdues more wandering orcs, and gradually spreads his influence to the Central Plains.

She felt that these stray animals living on the island were similar to pirates and had established a huge dark force.

It is estimated that it is not as simple as just snatching females for supplies. Some kind of trading chain may have been formed behind the scenes, involving a very wide range of people.

Otherwise, how could the mermaids in the sea allow their existence?

One of the pieces of information she got from the system about Lan Xiu was that he eventually killed the old domain lord and became the new lord of the ghost domain.

And his ambition was even greater. He was unwilling to be inferior to the mermaids, so he started a brutal war in the sea, resulting in the deaths of many orcs.

This laid the hidden danger for the collapse of the Orc Continent.

In addition to influencing the villains, her most important mission is to prevent the war from happening.

But for now, her strategy mission looks like a failure.

Looking at the majestic snow wolf in front of her and Julis following closely behind him, she had an idea in her eyes.

Different from Hu Feifei's coldness, Youlis was riding on the back of a black wolf with a beaming face. She glanced at Lan Xiu with her charming eyes from time to time, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with joy.

Lan Xiu hasn't looked at the female fox again in the past few days. It seems that he really dislikes her.

Then she would be one step closer to the position she wanted. As long as she worked hard to please and help Lan Xiu, the position of Ghost Queen in the future would definitely be hers!

At that time, she would definitely throw the female into the sea to feed the fish!

After walking for another half a day, the sky turned dark.

The drizzle continued, but the temperature became increasingly cold and biting, and the chilly wind made people shiver.

Hu Feifei rubbed her blocked nose and couldn't help sneezing. The coldness of her body made her little face turn bluish white.

Lan Xiu's wolf ears moved and he took a look around, planning to rest for a night in this canyon with mountains and hills.

The canyon is steep and rugged, with milky white fog lingering in it, like a ball of soft thin sand, winding and magnificent.

Hu Feifei got off Bull, feeling a little dizzy, and walked into the dense woods to shelter from the rain.

The mink cloak on her body was almost soaked, so she simply took it off, dug out a thick tiger-skin coat from the bag on her back and put it on.

Bull followed worriedly, "Master Fei, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'll boil some water to warm you up."

Just now he heard her breathing become heavy and she sneezed from time to time, which was a sign of catching a cold.

Hu Feifei did not refuse and showed a light smile, "Okay, remember to add some yellow root and nectar."

Her bag contained only a few pieces of clothing, while the rest was carried by Bull, including the yellow root.

She thought she might have caught a cold, so she drank a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the chill and her body wouldn't be so cold.

But the trees were soaked by the rain, so it would be difficult to find dry firewood to make a fire.

Bull responded and went to work with a few stray animals.

She was so weak that she frowned uncomfortably and wrapped herself tightly to keep warm.

Don't really catch a cold at a time like this...

Recently, due to Lan Xiu's change in attitude, other stray animals, except Bull, seem to avoid her. If she is really sick, no one would probably care whether she lives or dies.

Especially now that the team has undergone a major change.

Except for Bull, Hu Lai, and a dozen or so wandering orcs originally from Langya Valley, the rest were strangers.

It seems that they are all new orcs recruited by Hu Lai recently.

After a while, Bull found some dry firewood from somewhere and started a fire on the wet ground.

But because of the dampness of the trees, the billowing black smoke was a bit pungent.

Julis was the first to walk towards the fire to keep warm, but she didn't dare to get too close.

As a member of the snake clan, she has a natural fear of fire.

It was only because the temperature was too low that I endured the fear and moved closer to the fire.

Lan Xiu and Hu Lai were talking not far away, while the stray animals had clear division of labor, responsible for standing guard, collecting prey, etc.

At that time, the only sounds between heaven and earth were the sound of the dripping rain and the sound of burning firewood.

Bull first boiled a pot of ginger soup and sent it to Hu Feifei, with a caring look in his eyes, "Master Fei, drink some hot water and you won't feel cold anymore."

Hu Feifei took the stone bowl and smiled slightly knowing that Bull was worried about her health.

"I'm fine, I just have a cold."

"You don't have to worry about me all the time."

Bull still reminded her worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately, and don't try to be stubborn."

Although the chief and Lord Fei had had conflicts recently, he knew that the chief still cared very much about Lord Fei.

Only after seeing Hu Feifei finish the bowl of ginger soup did he take the bowl and go to make dinner.

Hu Feifei didn't want to pay attention to Yulis, so she didn't go over to warm herself by the fire.

However, after drinking a bowl of ginger soup, her body was not as cold anymore, and her face was not as bleak as before.

Soon, Bull roasted the prey.

Likewise, give it to her first.

Seeing Bull busy taking care of her, Hu Feifei was touched and said softly, "Bull, thank you."

The sudden thanks made Bull a little at a loss. He scratched his head and smiled, "It is my responsibility to take care of Master Fei."

"No, no need to be so polite."

Seeing how brightly she smiled at Bull, Lan Xiu paused chewing and felt that the barbecue in his mouth suddenly became tasteless.

His eyes darkened, and his cold and stern aura frightened the stray animals so much that they secretly moved away with the barbecue, for fear of bringing bad luck upon themselves.

Yulis was completely unaware and sat next to Lan Xiu, eating a piece of bloody meat with relish.

From time to time, he would glance at Hu Feifei who was being treated coldly.

When she found out that Bull had been taking care of her, she bit the meat in her hand in dissatisfaction.

I cursed her inwardly as a vixen. She even didn't let go of an ordinary wolf like Bull. She really didn't refuse anyone.

No wonder Lan Xiu dislikes me, I deserve it!

Hu Lai's eyes, which always had a hint of smile, took in all the undercurrents at the moment.

The corners of his lips slightly raised, he saw through it but didn't say it out loud.
