Chapter 72

Bai Di was instantly happy when he heard Si Lu choose him first.

He quickly made his way to Si Lu, then transformed into a large fox. Of course, it wasn't too big or too small; it was just the right size for a person to sit on its back.

Foxes themselves aren't large animals, but in this beast world, animals were obviously bigger than usual. The fox's size was about the same as a big golden retriever.

Of course, beastmen are strong, and carrying someone under a hundred pounds like Si Lu was no problem at all.

Si Lu looked at Bai Di, now a fox, with excitement in her eyes.

But when she saw that the fox was about the size of a golden retriever, she got a little worried.

Am I too heavy?

Would I crush Bai Di?

Although she really wanted to experience riding on a fox, it depended on the situation.

"Ah Di, are you sure you can carry me? I should weigh around ninety kilograms," Si Lu said.

She was worried about hurting Bai Di.

"I can carry you. Don't worry. I have a lot of strength. I can carry a two-hundred-kilogram wild beast, so carrying you, who weighs less than a hundred kilograms, is no problem. Don't underestimate beastmen," Bai Di said.

If he were in his human form, he would be smiling happily.

The little female's concern for him showed how much she cared for him.

"That's good, then. I'll get on. If it doesn't work, just tell me. Don't push yourself too hard," Si Lu said, cautiously lifting one leg to sit on the fox's back. The fur felt so soft and comfortable!

She didn't sit sideways; instead, she clung tightly to maintain her balance.

Anyway, she was wearing the shorts Bai Di made for her, so she wasn't worried about anything showing.

"Alright, let's go!" Cheng Mo said. He was the first to head out in front to scout the road, while the big tiger walked beside Si Lu, protecting her, and Hei Yao walked behind the fox, keeping an eye on the rear.

The group worked together without needing to discuss their positions—each person had their role, keeping Si Lu safe.

Si Lu tilted her head back, feeling the breeze. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment, her silver-white hair partially tied up with a small stick. The wind gently lifted strands of her hair, creating a beautiful scene!

This was Si Lu's first time traveling with everyone.

She felt an indescribable sense of excitement.

It was like going on a trip with everyone, though it wasn't exactly the same. Still, it wasn't too different either.

Bai Di would occasionally look up at Si Lu on his back, his starry eyes full of tenderness.

Carrying the little female like this was truly wonderful.

He really liked the feeling of her sitting on his back.

It was the first time a female was sitting on his back, and it was his beloved female. This feeling made him feel incredibly sweet.

It was as if he had finally found his purpose.

Hei Yao walked a little behind the fox, always alert to the surroundings. His dark purple eyes were also focused on Si Lu. No matter how much he looked at her, he couldn't get enough.

The group continued on their way, and fortunately, their powerful aura seemed to prevent any wandering beastmen or wild animals from coming too close.

Everything was going smoothly.

At first, Si Lu sat on Bai Di's back, behaving properly and excited. But after some time, she started to feel a bit bored.

She reached into the leather bag slung across her body, which Bai Di had made for her to be more noticeable.

She pulled out a big apple from her farm and happily started eating it.

Bai Di smiled as he watched her eat.

Hei Yao chuckled a little.

"Do you guys want some? If you do, just let me know, and I'll get you some," Si Lu said to the others. The journey was a bit boring, so having something to eat would help pass the time.

"Lu Lu, give me one. I want one," Song Zhan said, smiling at Si Lu.

He didn't like eating grass, but he really liked this fruit.

It was sweet, crisp, and delicious—just the way he liked it.

And seeing Si Lu eat so happily made him a little greedy.

"Okay." Si Lu nodded and reached into her leather bag, taking out a big apple and tossing it to the big tiger beside her.

Song Zhan caught it and happily started eating.

"Do you guys want one?" Si Lu asked, turning to Bai Di and Hei Yao.

"I'm good. You eat," Bai Di said.

He felt that if he ate less, Si Lu would have more to enjoy.

Besides, he thought it wasn't really the time to eat.

"Alright, then. Ah Yao, Ah Mo, do you want some?" Si Lu asked, looking at Cheng Mo ahead and Hei Yao behind.

"You eat. I'm not eating," Cheng Mo replied first.

He was focused on scouting the road, keeping an eye out for any potential danger. Eating fruit would distract him, so it wasn't the right moment.

"Eat, Si Lu. I'm not eating either," Hei Yao said, seeing Si Lu look back at him. He was also focused on protecting her.

Unlike Si Lu and Song Zhan, who could relax, Hei Yao and Cheng Mo were more alert, always monitoring their surroundings.

Meanwhile, Bai Di was constantly keeping an eye on Si Lu's condition.

After all, Si Lu was pregnant with his cub, so he had to be extra cautious.

Si Lu had never left the tribe before, and her first time leaving was when they were attacked by stray beasts. Bai Di was concerned about whether she might have any lingering trauma.

But now he could see that Si Lu was fine.

The little female was really strong and capable.

If it had been another female, she might have been shaken or scared, but Si Lu seemed completely unbothered, enjoying the journey without a care.

After finishing the apple, Si Lu started feeling a bit tired sitting on Bai Di's back, so she lay down on his back. Of course, her hands were still busy, and she began braiding his fur on his neck.

Even though she didn't have anything to help, as long as she didn't deliberately undo it, the braids would stay intact.

Now, Si Lu found something fun—braiding hair. She patiently began braiding Bai Di's neck fur.

Bai Di gladly accepted her little transformation.

As long as the little female liked it, he was happy with whatever she did.

After finishing the braids on his neck, Si Lu changed direction and sat facing backward. This way, she could see Hei Yao and began braiding Bai Di's two big tails.
