"Roar!"
The big black bear didn't understand human speech. It roared and rubbed its body against Feng Jiu's, looking very affectionate. Feng Jiu was amused to see the bear waving its large paws in front of her. It was her first smile in nearly half a month.
"Alright, that will do! I'll go back and refine some more pills to take along, just in case. " She patted the three beasts' heads. When she was about to return to the cave, she heard Ye Jing's voice.
"Feng Jiu."
She turned around. "Ye Jing? Why are you here? "
Ye Jing came to her side. "I know you have been back for half a month, but you've been cultivating in your cave and haven't come out for a while. I just heard that the headmaster looked for you, so I thought I'd come over. Since you're also part of the ten student representatives, it's good to have you with us when we have to go to a place so far and for so long a time."
