The Little Chick laid next to the Baby Girl's pillow, its eyes wide open watching this magical scene. Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, it fluttered its little wings and flew onto the Baby Girl's chest, lying down cheerfully, and shared in the rich spiritual energy that poured in with the starlight.
The Little Chick silently calculated for its own benefits.
As the Divine Beast and guardian of the master, its cultivation speed should naturally not be slower than the master's.
Otherwise, with its now weak divine power, how could it protect the master? How could it transform into human form in a thousand years, to stand in the world's presence with unparalleled grace and powerful combat abilities, and become a legitimate guardian.
The Little Chick, thinking contentedly, gradually closed its eyes and entered sweet dreams.
What it didn't know was that in the moment it closed its eyes, the baby girl's thick and long eyelashes quivered slightly. She opened her blurry eyes, her eyes filled with mist, gazing at the Little Chick laying on her chest, her eyes holding boundless deep love and affection.
Thank you, Yin'er, for accompanying me through reincarnation.
As days and nights change, landscapes shift, you alone have always stayed by my side, never leaving me.

Early the next morning, just as day was breaking, Su Hu was busy in the courtyard, packing up his hunting gear.
The arrow pouch, hunting knife, trapping clips, blowpipe, and lasso were all taken out from the firewood room and carefully cleaned, gathered, and put into a carrying basket.
"Dad, what are you up to?"
As Li Xiu'e finished making breakfast, she came out of the kitchen to see him packing up his hunting gear. She was startled and quickly walked over in a few strides, stopping him with his hunting knife in hand.
"Heh heh, Woman, I had a nice dream last night."
Su Hu put down the hunting knife and grinned idiotically: "I dreamt I hunted a big wild boar and invited the whole village for a feast with wine and meat. Don't even get me started on how lively it was."
"Have you forgotten how you injured your leg? Do you still dare to go hunting in the mountains?"
Three years ago, Su Hu got his leg bitten by a wolf while hunting. Fortunately, the hunters who went with him stood up for him, killed the wolf, carried him down the mountain, and saved his life.
Every time Li Xiu'e thought of her husband drenched in blood and struggling to breathe, her heart ached so much that she found it hard to catch her breath.
"I haven't forgotten."
Su Hu's eyes darkened, he glanced at the window of the main house, and then his eyes lit up with new hope: "Wife, don't worry, now we have the Little Lucky Doll, our luck has changed. With the blessing of the Little Lucky Doll, hunting in the mountains will definitely go smoothly. Maybe we can even bring back a big wild boar."
"The money from the sale of ginseng should be enough for a while."
Li Xiu'e's eyes turned red involuntarily: "I don't want you to get into any more trouble, if anything happens to you, how can your wife and daughters go on living?"
"Wife, rest assured, believe in our Little Lucky Doll, I will definitely come back safely."
Su Hu lovingly embraced his wife, gently patting her back, soothing her in a warm voice, carefully hiding a touch of guilt in his eyes.
Talking about dreams was absolutely nonsense. This was just his excuse to go hunting in the mountains.
The real reason was that he wanted to pull himself together and improve their lives, not just getting through day by day.
He wanted to use his own two hands to provide for his wife and children, to ensure they had a prosperous life.
"You're just so stubborn."
Li Xiu'e nestled in her husband's arms, hitting his chest, venting her fears and dissatisfaction.
After being married to him for ten years, she knew Su Hu well. Normally, he was a very kind and honest man, but he was also very stubborn. Once he made a decision, eight oxen could not pull him back.
"Heh heh." Su Hu held his wife and grinned idiotically.
He knew very well that his wife was gentle and would not deliberately contradict him. A little comfort would easily ease her worries.
