Si Yan and the two little wolf cubs returned to White Eagle City, their baskets laden with herbs.
After a whole day, their gains were considerable. Si Yan was very happy, already imagining her tree hollow filled with these herbs once they were dried.
Feeling good, she relaxed and turned to chat and laugh with the two wolf cubs.
However, in an unguarded moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old female suddenly crashed into her, knocking her to the ground.
Little Si Yan fell, her basket flung into the air and toppling to the ground. Most of its contents spilled out. Then, a line of Beastmen walked past, crushing many of the herbs.
Before Si Yan could get up, she cried out, "Don't step on them! Don't step on them! Don't step on my herbs!"
Tai Seng and Yin Hong rushed to help Si Yan up. "Si Yan, are you hurt?" they asked anxiously.
Si Yan had no time to respond to the wolf cubs. The small, six-year-old female rushed forward to protect her herbs, exceptionally stubborn.
