The Middle-Aged Woman was momentarily taken aback by Luo Bingbing's words. For many years, she had been living off raw meat alongside these animals.
During heavy snowstorms, there were times when even raw meat was unavailable. In those moments, she could only endure hunger, and when it became unbearable, she would gnaw on tree bark to stave off starvation.
Gradually, her thoughts drifted back to when she was seven years old.
It seemed that in her seventh year, she had wandered down to a small village at the foot of the mountain out of sheer playfulness and encountered an old man who was blind.
In her innocence, upon seeing that the old man could not see, she took the initiative to guide him and safely escorted him back home.
The old man was very grateful to her and offered her a lot of cooked food. It was then that she realized there were other foods besides meat that could be eaten, and that meat should also be cooked before consumption.
Since the old man lived alone in a small hollow at the foot of the mountain, she often went to visit him.
Although the old man was blind, he was very knowledgeable and taught her many principles of life, as well as some characters.
It was during that time that she learned to eat cooked food and understood what it meant to be human.
However, good times did not last long. One day, a distant relative of the old man came to visit and saw her with her striking Green Eyes.
The relative immediately screamed in shock.
"Devil..."
Upon hearing his relative's words, the old man quickly asked, "What is it?"
The relative informed the old man that this Little Doll before him had green eyes and was said to be a Demon's Child.
The old man was startled by his relative's words. After recovering from his surprise, he immediately told her to leave.
Afterward, she tried to visit the old man several more times, but each time she was turned away.
One day, she went back to the small valley to find the old man, but strangely, this time he did not chase her away as usual; instead, he invited her into the house.
However, before she could feel happy about it, as soon as she walked into the house, she saw that there were already several strong men inside waiting for her with shovels and pig cages.
As soon as she entered, they immediately closed the door and locked it from the outside.
Seeing this, she realized that they had ill intentions towards her. She quickly started to run around, trying to find a way to escape.
But the house was already surrounded by them, and at that time, she was just a little over six years old. Before long, she was caught by those strong men.
They put her into a large pig cage and carried her towards a nearby lake, where they threw her into the water.
At that moment, she was still too young to understand how to save herself, and since she couldn't swim, she thought she was doomed.
In her heart, she thought that if there was a next life, she would haunt those people even as a ghost.
Just when she thought she was about to die, she suddenly heard the call of her Tiger Mom who had raised her.
She had grown up in a tiger's den, and Tiger Mom had always treated her as her own child. Seeing that it was so late and she hadn't returned, Tiger Mom followed her scent to find her.
When Tiger Mom arrived at the lakeside and saw her "falling" into the water, Tiger Mom jumped in immediately and swam desperately towards her.
At that moment, Tiger Mom forgot that she couldn't swim either. In the end, Tiger Mom managed to push her to the shore but drowned in the process.
Seeing her beloved Tiger Mom drown while trying to save her deepened her hatred even more.
Her strong will and survival instinct ignited within her. Ultimately, she broke free from the pig cage.
Afterward, she returned to the tiger den and lived with several other tigers inside, all of whom were also Tiger Mom's children.
During this time, she not only learned the language of tigers but also acquired the instincts of those fierce beasts, becoming a ruler of her domain in the forest.
Her presence prevented the tigers from fighting among themselves, allowing them to coexist peacefully. This is why there was a scene where more than a dozen tigers gathered together and got along so well.
However, despite becoming a ruler in this forest, she lived in the dark corners, shrouded in night, never exposing herself to light.
Thus far, she had not sought revenge in that Cottage, but no one who had intruded into her forest had ever made it out alive.
Now, however, with the arrival of Luo Bingbing and her companions, her record was about to be broken.
As her thoughts drifted away, she heard Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice again.
She slowly said, "Don't eat these things; I will roast some meat for you later." As soon as she finished speaking, the Middle-Aged Woman stared directly at her.
Seeing that she was looking at her, Luo Bingbing lightly nodded, signaling her to try to believe her words.
The Middle-Aged Woman initially wanted to refuse outright, but when she saw the pure gaze of this Little One before her, she inexplicably agreed.
So, Luo Bingbing hurriedly instructed Ye Feng to stack the dry wood properly and ignite it with fire.
Then, Luo Bingbing placed the already prepared roasted meat from Snow Spirit Elder onto the Grill and began cooking.
Before long, the rich aroma of roasted meat wafted through the forest, enticing the Snow Spirit Fox and Phoenix hidden in Luo Bingbing's sleeves to sneak out.
Once the delicious roasted meat was ready and everyone had not yet started eating, Luo Bingbing took a Roasted Mountain Chicken off the Grill and personally handed it to the Middle-Aged Woman for her to try.
The Middle-Aged Woman looked at the Little One before her and slowly extended her hand to take the fragrant Roasted Mountain Chicken.
Seeing that she had accepted it, Luo Bingbing urged her to eat quickly so they could continue their journey after she was full.
She slowly brought the fragrant roasted meat to her mouth and gently took a bite, but as soon as the meat entered her mouth, she spat it out.
Everyone watching was disappointed to see her reject such delicious roasted meat.
Just when everyone felt it was a pity, she did something that made them feel even more regretful. She threw the fragrant Roasted Mountain Chicken in her hand onto the ground.
As she threw it down, the Snow Spirit Fox quickly rushed over to snatch it.
Luo Bingbing frowned slightly upon seeing her throw away the Roasted Mountain Chicken that she had personally given her. She pondered why the woman reacted this way and why she found the delicious roasted meat unappetizing.
Suddenly, she recalled a story she had read in an ancient book during her university days, which mentioned that someone who had eaten raw meat for a long time would find cooked meat unpalatable if they were suddenly made to switch.
Thinking of this, Luo Bingbing took a deep look at the Middle-Aged Woman and then picked up a Roasted Wild Rabbit from the Grill, bringing it in front of her.
Fixing her gaze on her, she said, "You are human, not an animal. Humans should behave like humans. Since you have already lost, you must keep your word and come with me out of the mountains. But before we leave, you first need to learn to gradually adapt to eating cooked food. Even if it's hard to swallow, you must eat it."
After pausing briefly, she continued, "This is also my requirement for you. If you can't even do this, how will you survive once you go outside?"
Upon hearing the words of this Little One, the Middle-Aged Woman was momentarily taken aback. She looked intently at Luo Bingbing and said, "Alright, I will eat."
After saying this, she took the Roasted Wild Rabbit from Luo Bingbing's hands and brought it to her mouth, slowly tearing and chewing it. Even though her stomach churned violently, she forced herself to swallow.
Seeing that she was eating now, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile lightly and returned to the roasted meat to eat with everyone.
After finishing their meal, they set off together.
As they walked ahead, the fierce tigers followed closely behind them until they reached the edge of the forest, where they finally stopped and did not accompany them any further.
Standing at the edge of the forest, the Middle-Aged Woman embraced each of the tigers one by one before letting out a few sorrowful roars that seemed like a final farewell to them.
After saying goodbye, they left the forest together and headed towards the road not far ahead.
The dozen or so tigers remained at the edge of the forest until they could no longer see the Green-Eyed Middle-Aged Woman. Only then did they reluctantly leave and return to their kingdom.
Not long after Luo Bingbing arrived on the road, they spotted a small town at the foot of the mountain ahead. As they walked along the road, several passersby secretly paid their respects to them, especially to the most special Middle-Aged Woman.
Although Luo Bingbing did not fear trouble, she also disliked it. After walking for a while, she instructed Snow Spirit Elder to go to the small town first to buy a set of clothes for the Middle-Aged Woman and to purchase a carriage to bring them into town.
Upon hearing her words, Snow Spirit Elder quickly used Lightness Skill to head towards the small town. He followed her instructions and bought a set of clothes for the Middle-Aged Woman, as well as a carriage.
Then, he drove the carriage back to where he had previously parted ways with Luo Bingbing and picked them up to enter the town.
While Snow Spirit Elder was in the small town, Luo Bingbing and the others waited under a large tree for him.
Sitting under the tree, Luo Bingbing glanced at the Middle-Aged Woman and asked, "What is your name?"
The Middle-Aged Woman was slightly taken aback by Little One's question. After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, she replied, "An Ruo Ran."
In truth, she did not know what her name was because no one had ever given her a name in her memory.
However, since she could remember, she had always carried a piece of snowflake jade with her, which was engraved with the characters "An Ruo Ran." Therefore, not knowing what her name was, she said that her name was An Ruo Ran.
Upon hearing her say her name was An Ruo Ran, everyone thought it was a nice name. However, they assumed that she had chosen it herself and did not think much of it.
After Snow Spirit Elder handed over the clothes he had bought to the Middle-Aged Woman, Luo Bingbing instructed her to change inside the carriage. Then they all boarded the carriage together and headed towards the small town.
Since there was only one carriage, Snow Spirit Elder sat outside with Ye Feng to drive it while Luo Bingbing, Dongfang Hao, Xuan Ye, and the Middle-Aged Woman An Ruo Ran sat inside.
However, it felt quite cramped with four people sitting inside.
At this moment, while pondering why he had gone to save the Little Doll and why he didn't dislike the touch of Dongfang Hao, he suddenly pulled Luo Bingbing into his embrace and said, "This way, it won't be so cramped, and everyone will be much more comfortable sitting."
Luo Bingbing was just about to struggle free from his embrace when she heard his words, so she stopped resisting.
However, in her heart, she was continuously cursing Dongfang Hao for being shameless and taking advantage of her.
In fact, her curses were not unfounded; Dongfang Hao indeed had a purpose. The crowding was merely an excuse for him to hold Luo Bingbing in his arms.
His true intention was to confirm whether he really didn't mind Luo Bingbing's touch and to find out the reason behind it.
The carriage slowly drove into the town and stopped in front of a larger tavern.
Passersby on the street were captivated by the sight of Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing stepping out of the carriage, stopping to watch them with interest.
However, when they saw An Ruo Ran being the last to exit the carriage, fear spread among them. A middle-aged woman even shouted loudly, "A demon..."
Upon hearing her words, Snow Spirit Elder and the others couldn't help but frown slightly. But before anyone could react, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to pull the middle-aged woman over.
Soon after, a loud sound of slapping echoed in everyone's ears, followed by the thud of something heavy hitting the ground.
After enough slapping, Luo Bingbing casually tossed the middle-aged woman aside and said in an unusually cold tone, "My people don't need your comments."
