“Rub some medicine on your shoulder; it’ll speed up the recovery process.”

Su Qingluo took out a box of spiritual medicine from her Storage Ring and tossed it to him along with two packs of dried sweet potato.

She didn’t have any cooked food on hand, so dried sweet potato would have to do to curb their hunger.

“Alright.”

Wang Meng caught the spiritual medicine, stuffed a handful of dried sweet potatoes into his mouth, and began chewing while applying the medicine to his shoulder.

Bits of spiritual power permeated through his pores and into his skin, nourishing his tired tendons and veins, gradually reducing and eventually eliminating his muscle aches.

“Sister Yu, this medicine is amazing.”

Wang Meng shoved another handful of dried sweet potatoes into his mouth, shook his arm vigorously, and felt the surge of power return to him. Suddenly, he felt rejuvenated and ready to row for another day and night.

Su Qingluo smiled: “Hurry up and finish the dried sweet potatoes. There are more cries for help ahead, and we’ve got more work to do.”

“Alright.”

Wang Meng opened his mouth wide, stuffed all the dried sweet potatoes in, and chewed vigorously. He clapped his hands, stood up on the wooden raft, and braced himself against the wind and rain alongside his little master.

The two of them were soaking wet, their hair plastered to their faces, but their eyes shone with determination and resolve.

In Weishui River, Little Kingfisher was directing Old Turtle to rescue people.

Whenever she saw someone in distress drifting downstream, she would command Old Turtle to swim over quickly.

Jifeng and Jiyu swiftly scooped people onto the turtle’s shell, allowing them to regain consciousness before transferring them back to the shore, where Su Clan siblings would take over.

Before they knew it, the sky was getting dark, and the bird and turtle duo had saved dozens of people.

Some of the survivors were worried about their families and braved the storm to return home in search of their loved ones.

Younger children without the means to leave on their own had to remain in the woods, under the care of Su Qingluo and her brother, waiting for the right moment to return to the cave for shelter.

Soaked in the rain for an entire day, the two Imperial Shadow Guards were exhausted.

If it weren’t for Little Kingfisher occasionally giving them contemptuous looks to motivate them, the two would have collapsed on Old Turtle’s shell, not wanting to move another inch.

Su Clan siblings were suffering in silence as well. One was a sixteen-year-old girl, and the other a twelve-year-old boy.

Although the two children had grown up in a hunter’s family and were used to hardship, they had never before experienced such exhaustion that their bodies felt weak, unable to stand steady in the storm.

Nevertheless, they persisted and refused to fall.

There were still children in the woods who needed care, and over a dozen pairs of eyes were watching them with sorrow, clinging to them as their only source of warmth and support.

How could the siblings abandon their post and rest at a time like this?

“Sister Qiao, Doudou, where are you?”

An anxious shout came from nearby woods, accompanied by the sound of multiple footsteps headed in the siblings’ direction.

“It’s Father. Father’s here.”

As the siblings looked at each other, tears welled up in their eyes.

All the hunters from Woniu Village had arrived.

Old Village Chief’s two sons, Li Dashan and Li Ershan, were leading the group along with Su Hu.

The three of them arrived before the siblings and stared in astonishment at the Ten-thousand-year-old Turtle in the middle of the river, their hearts pounding for a moment.

“Father, Uncle Li, we’re so glad you’re here.”

Su Ziqin cried tears of joy, his eyes blurred with tears and rainwater.

Su Hu lovingly pulled both his children into his arms: “Father’s here, you can rest now. Leave the rest to us.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Is that a turtle?”

Li Clan brothers watched as Jifeng and Jiyu, alerted by the noise, rode the massive turtle closer to the woods, their heartbeats quickening..
