When Chen Yuan arrived, the tense and heavy atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Under the watchful eyes of the outsider Beastmasters, Chen Yuan walked directly towards Mr. Xiong and the Bear Cub: "Is there something you need here?"

"Roar roar roar~"

The Bear Cub immediately pointed at Cola.

I’m here to find Cola!

"Then follow me to the farm, this isn’t the place for a chat," Chen Yuan said.

"Roar~"

Mr. Xiong, annoyed by the humans’ stares, nodded repeatedly. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Chen Yuan turned to Zhang Hao: "I’ll take them to the farm, you guys head back as well."

Then he glanced at the still-gawking Beastmasters: "And them too."

"Alright." Zhang Hao, eager to distance himself from the oppressive Earth Bear, nodded quickly.

While Chen Yuan could remain composed around the Earth Bear, he certainly couldn’t with his small frame.

So Zhang Hao left with Song Guohao, also encouraging the outsider Beastmasters to leave.

Someone showed disappointment: "I thought we’d witness a fierce battle."

Others nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it’s like clicking on a video titled ’Seven Men and One Woman,’ only to find it’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

Meanwhile, the other Beastmasters surrounded the local ones, bombarding them with questions:

"Can such a powerful Beastmaster emerge from this village?"

"What’s his name, I’m going to look him up right now."

"Is there a link to his battle videos?"

"No wonder the Gale Hunting Dog is so unbelievably strong, it’s his Pet Beast!"

"Losing to the Association Consultant is nothing to be ashamed of; at least I lasted a minute and a half."

The local Beastmaster slightly raised his head, hands behind his back, his face full of pride and smugness: "Hmph, you outsiders are so inexperienced. That Gale Hunting Dog is nothing, the Flame Cloud Falcon is the real deal..."

...

Not being able to show off in front of so many people left Cola a bit disappointed, but the joy of reuniting with the Bear Cub easily overshadowed that disappointment, as the two little ones noisily played all the way to the farm.

Meanwhile, Mr. Xiong kept his body tense the entire time, his heavy gaze carefully observing Spark flying in the air.

He could clearly sense that this Flame Cloud Falcon had grown stronger.

"Roar....."

Mr. Xiong silently clenched his fists, deciding to witness Spark’s current power on the last night before leaving.

Soon, Chen Yuan led the group of Pet Beasts back to the farm.

"Clank."

Iron Head, guarding the entrance, stared at Mr. Xiong and the Bear Cub for a while, processed their identity information, and then stepped aside.

"Come on in, welcome to the farm." Chen Yuan led the way at the front.

It was the first time Pet Beasts were visiting the farm.

Mr. Xiong swaggered behind Chen Yuan, looking around, his gaze finally resting on the large trees. His nose twitched as he caught the lingering scent of Spirit Plants.

Chen Yuan chuckled: "You’re a day late, the fruits have already been eaten."

"Dian Dian~"

Noticing the commotion outside, the Electric Flying Cat flew out. When it saw Mr. Xiong, it immediately rubbed its eyes in disbelief at Mr. Xiong’s presence there.

Opening its eyes, Mr. Xiong was still ahead, and the Electric Flying Cat immediately approached to express a warm welcome.

After all, they had fought side by side in that valley against a swarm of Attendant Bees.

Though the Electric Flying Cat had fainted halfway through the battle, it still participated.

But as it got closer to Mr. Xiong, his enormous figure became clear, and the Electric Flying Cat got cold feet and quickly stopped mid-way, offering an awkward yet polite smile: "Dian Dian."

"Quack quack~"

Run Run Duck also came at the sound, and when it saw Cola and the Bear Cub interact so closely and playfully, it paused for a moment and then looked away, choosing to go back to the fish pond for a nap.

I’m tired, Duck!

I need to sleep!

The Bean Chicken also seemed eager to join the fun, but the moment it saw Mr. Xiong’s massive figure from afar and felt that intense pressure, it immediately chose to return to the coop.

The Little Chicks huddled behind it, not even daring to poke their heads out.

Compared to domesticated Pet Beasts, wild Pet Beasts had an inherent wildness, with a gaze and presence entirely different.

The Twin Flower Concubine did not come out; it was already sprawled on a phone, sound asleep, curled up, with a purple long dress enveloping its body like a closed flower.

As the Twin Flower Concubine grew larger, it had grown more comfortable with Chen Yuan being temporarily away, but not for too long.

"So tell me, what’s your business with Cola?" Chen Yuan got to the point.

"Roar roar roar~"

Upon hearing this, the angry Bear Cub gestured animatedly, recounting to Chen Yuan the events that transpired over that period.

Turns out, starting from a certain day, a Beastmaster had repeatedly come to disturb Mr. Xiong, challenging him soon after each defeat, much to Mr. Xiong’s frustration.

Just as Mr. Xiong was preparing to give him a lesson, the Beastmaster vanished.

But that wasn’t the end of it; in the following days, more Beastmasters came to challenge Mr. Xiong, disrupting their peaceful life.

Although these Beastmasters were all soundly defeated, often exclaiming, "It’s only normal not to beat a champion’s Pet Beast," the continuous disruptions finally wore down Mr. Xiong and the Bear Cub’s patience.

So they made a bold decision.

"You’re moving?" Chen Yuan was amazed.

"Roar." Mr. Xiong nodded firmly.

Those Beastmasters were too annoying, and with the nearby area’s honey entirely consumed, it was the perfect chance to relocate.

"So you’re here to say goodbye to Cola?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Roar roar roar."

The Bear Cub looked at its only good friend and nodded repeatedly.

After so many days apart, this good friend seemed much stronger, never returning to the memorable days of being chased by a swarm of Attendant Bees and stung like a little bee dog.

"Howl howl....."

Upon hearing that the Bear Cub was moving, Cola didn’t understand at first. But when Chen Yuan patiently explained that moving meant they would be going far, far away and it would be hard to meet again, Cola immediately buried its head, feeling gloomy.

Cola didn’t want the Bear Cub to move away.

"Roar roar."

The two little fellows immediately hugged each other, howling loudly.

In the shadowy corner of the fish pond, a pair of eyes flickered under the cover of night.

They couldn’t quite understand the sadness of parting now, but when in the future the Bear Cub finds honey with no friends to share it with, or when Cola encounters the Attendant Bee but doesn’t see the familiar figure it once fled with, an inexplicable emotion will well up in their minds.

Parting is not the heavy rain now, but the muddy road ahead.

Chen Yuan timely stopped the spread of this emotion: "Where are you planning to move to?"

"Roar roar."

Mr. Xiong scratched his head first, then shook his head.

He hadn’t thought about this question yet.

In short, the more desolate the place, the better.

"A desolate place..." Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

More and more Beastmasters were coming to Qinling, but most of their activities were limited to the surrounding areas. In fact, there were vast regions that remained untraveled.

Thoughts flashed by, Chen Yuan pondered and said, "How about this, I’m going into the mountains tomorrow, we can set off together."

"If you find a new home, it would be easy for Cola to find you and play in the future."

"Roar roar roar!" The Bear Cub raised its arms in agreement.

Then it could still play with Cola in the future!

"Then you can stay here tonight, and we’ll set off in the morning," said Chen Yuan.

After confirming this, the night grew darker, and Chen Yuan let Cola stay in the yard with Mr. Xiong and the Bear Cub, while he returned to his bedroom.

"Woo woo~"

Cola rushed to the side of the fish pond to find Run Run Duck, tugging at Run Run Duck’s wings.

Come on, come on!

Let me introduce you to a new friend!

"Quack!"

Run Run Duck turned its head away, quietly staring at the water in the dim night, ignoring Cola.

"Woo?"

Cola was a bit puzzled by Run Run Duck’s reaction, but its eyes shifted slightly, and then it told Run Run Duck about the Bear Cub having Sweet Honey.

"Quack?"

Instinctively, Run Run Duck turned back, its eyes flashing with familiar light, but it quickly realized and turned its head back again.

Humph!

I don’t care!

Cola was even more puzzled by Run Run Duck’s reaction but decided to take some forceful measures, stirring up a gust of wind to whisk Run Run Duck over to the Bear Cub.

"Woo woo woo!"

Cola looked at the dizzy Run Run Duck and introduced it to the Bear Cub.

This is Duck Duck!

My best friend!

"Quack quack..."

Run Run Duck stared at Cola dumbfounded, its light blue eyes rippling, and soon regained its composure, tidying up its slightly messy feathers with its wings before extending a wing toward the Bear Cub.

Hello there~

Mr. Xiong didn’t have time to attend to the little ones’ interaction. He walked straight over to Spark, eager with anticipation: "Roar roar~"

"Chirp~"

Spark understood Mr. Xiong’s intention, its eyes calm, nodding slightly.

The two agreed to have a showdown outside the farm, and the rest of the small ones followed to watch, with only Iron Head staying behind.

A few minutes later,

Iron Head looked at the proud Cola and the dejected Bear Cub: "Caw?"

"Woo!"

The big sister is invincible!

The Bear Cub said nothing, just kept its head down and sighed.

In the bedroom,

"I’m going to the mountains tomorrow to check out that spot," Chen Yuan sent a message in the [Fruit Factory] group chat.

Li Junyue: "Be careful."

Jiang Wenning: "If we wait a little longer, we could actually go together."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It’s okay, I’ll just take a look."

After a pause, Chen Yuan typed again: "Actually, I feel like that spot is linked with that Mysterious Forest."

Li Junyue: "I think so too."

Jiang Wenning: "1."

Chang Yuhuan: "1."

Jiang Wenning tapped on the keyboard and sent another message: "By the way, I’ve prepared a surprise for you."

Chen Yuan asked: "What surprise?"

"If I told you now, would it still be a surprise? You’ll find out then."

Chen Yuan had to suppress his curiosity.

The night deepened,

The bedroom lights went out, and the yard was plunged into darkness, yet it was extraordinarily lively.

The Bear Cub was surrounded by the little ones, chattering non-stop about the interesting things it encountered in the forest.

Halfway through, the Electric Flying Cat took out its treasured fruits to share, and Run Run Duck went into the hall and fetched a few bags of snacks. Everyone sat on the ground, playing and laughing, and when they got sleepy, they lay down on the ground, falling asleep under the starry sky.
