Chapter 245 - 244: I Call Your Name, Do You Dare to Answer?

By the time she woke again, it was already bright daylight outside.

Chu Liangyu stretched contentedly, and it was only then that she realized Chi Yizhong was no longer in bed.

After a moment of confusion, Chu Liangyu put it out of her mind.

She didn’t want to wear that red outfit again. After a moment of indecision, Chu Liangyu took out an outfit from her storage bag that was similar in style to Chi Yizhong’s white one.

It was her first time wearing such a simple and elegant color, but thankfully, the effect was quite good.

After quickly washing up, Chu Liangyu planned to return to her own courtyard.

Just as she stepped out the door, she ran right into Chi Yizhong, who was coming in with a tray of food.

Chi Yizhong noticed her clothes were nearly identical in style to what he was wearing.

Because of their clothes, the two of them standing together looked like a match made in heaven.

"Very beautiful."

Chu Liangyu could hear the delight in his voice. She raised an eyebrow and teased, "This outfit is similar to yours. Are you complimenting me, or yourself?"

Chi Yizhong saw through her playfulness. He wasn’t annoyed; instead, he patiently added, "I’m complimenting you."

"Eat something before you go. There’s no rush."

Chi Yizhong set down the tray and turned back to look at Chu Liangyu.

"Alright."

It didn’t really matter whether she ate or not anymore, but she had to respect Chi Yizhong’s gesture.

"Feng Qiwu and Yu Tu should be coming to see you in a little while."

"They’re coming to see me? Do you know what it’s about?"

Chi Yizhong poured her a cup of tea before replying, "I heard they can’t contact the cubs, so they want to go out and look for them."

After all, the tribe’s current development still required manpower, especially from those with strength comparable to her Beast Husbands.

If they wanted to go out, they had to report it to Chu Liangyu, their leader.

"Are their cubs the only ones who can’t be contacted?"

"I’ve only heard about their two cubs. I’m not sure if anyone else is having this problem."

Chu Liangyu had already sent out her clone. It was only a matter of time before she found out the truth of the matter.

Since the cubs’ Beast Father was worried, she couldn’t very well stop them. If they came to ask her, she would naturally have to agree.

"Female Master, we need to see you about something. Are you still here?"

Speak of the devil. A voice came from the doorway, and from the way he spoke, it had to be Yu Tu.

There were only two White Tiger Cubs in total, so it was no wonder his tone was so anxious.

Feng Qiwu followed close behind. The moment he saw Chu Liangyu, his eyes lit up.

His pace quickened unconsciously, and he bypassed Yu Tu to sit directly on Chu Liangyu’s other side.

Seeing this, Yu Tu’s expression stiffened. He couldn’t help but let out a soft huff through his nose, as if he couldn’t stand Feng Qiwu’s clingy behavior.

"Female Master, we can’t contact our cubs and are planning to go look for them. Do you want to come with us?"

In truth, Feng Qiwu had a lot of confidence in his cubs and wasn’t very worried. He just wanted to go out and search to set his own mind at ease.

The invitation was just a casual one. If Chu Liangyu actually agreed, it would be a pleasant surprise, as they could spend more time together.

"The Female Master has a lot to deal with. You two can just go by yourselves. There’s no need to bring her along."

Chu Liangyu was just thinking about how to refuse when Chi Yizhong spoke up first.

’His timing, I have to admit, is perfect.’

As the cubs’ Beast Mother, refusing would make her seem somewhat heartless. But she truly had a lot on her plate, so refusal was inevitable.

Besides, she had already arranged for her clone to go searching, so there was no need for this redundant effort.

"That’s true," Feng Qiwu nodded. Then he added, "Well, we’ll get going then. We’ll send you a message once we find them."

Although Feng Qiwu wanted to stay with her a little longer, finding the cubs was more urgent right now. After exchanging a few more words, he stood up, ready to leave.

"Don’t be in such a hurry. Take these two storage bags with you."

"The space inside isn’t small. Since you’re both heading out, you should prepare some more things before you go."

Chu Liangyu handed the storage bags to Feng Qiwu, letting them each choose one.

Feng Qiwu picked one he liked, then passed the other to Yu Tu. He didn’t forget to explain, "Red doesn’t suit your temperament. This black one is a better fit for you."

"Hmph..." Yu Tu didn’t like red anyway, so he didn’t say much about Feng Qiwu’s high-handed move.

Seeing they had sorted it out, Chu Liangyu spoke again. "They’re very simple to use. Just focus your mind on the storage bag, and you can store or retrieve items at will. But you can only store inanimate objects."

After getting his, Feng Qiwu eagerly tied the storage bag to his belt. He then took a couple of steps back and forth in front of Chu Liangyu and asked, "Female Master, does it look good on me?"

"It looks great."

Chu Liangyu was amused by his vanity and gave him a gracious compliment.

Yu Tu wasn’t as thick-skinned. After tying his on as well, he looked at Chu Liangyu and said, "I like this storage bag very much."

Chu Liangyu smiled and nodded. Glancing at the sky, she reminded them, "Go get your things ready and set off."

"Alright."

The two agreed in unison. Without any further delay, they turned and left the room.

The matter of the two storage bags suddenly reminded Chu Liangyu of the item from the Treasure Pavilion auction.

At the time, along with the Storage Ring, there were also three Spirit Beast Bags included as a bonus.

She had originally planned to see if they could hold the people of the Beast World, but she had been so distracted by recent events that she had almost forgotten.

By now, the food on the table was mostly gone, and Chi Yizhong was unhurriedly clearing it away. Chu Liangyu subconsciously glanced at him, thinking of making him her test subject.

"What is it?"

Before Chu Liangyu could even speak, Chi Yizhong keenly sensed her gaze.

"Help me with something."

"Alright."

Although Chi Yizhong was puzzled, he didn’t ask any questions and agreed readily.

Seeing him like this, Chu Liangyu couldn’t resist a bit of mischief.

She aimed the mouth of the Spirit Beast Bag in Chi Yizhong’s direction and called out loudly, "Chi Yizhong, I’m calling your name! Do you dare to answer?"

"I dare."

Chi Yizhong looked completely baffled, but he still answered honestly.

Chu Liangyu held back her laughter and watched the Spirit Beast Bag. After a long moment, the bag still showed no reaction.

’Looks like it really can’t hold people from the Beast World.’

Though a little disappointed, Chu Liangyu still wanted to try something else.

"Could you go and catch a live beast for me?"

"I can. Wait here for me for a bit."

Chi Yizhong put down the things he was in the middle of clearing and walked out.

Chu Liangyu looked at the half-cleared table, then stood up and continued to clear away the rest of the things herself.
