As the Alpha launched itself at Lihua's back.  He was suddenly plowed down by a blue bear.  The bear pinned the wolf down as it's jaws bit down on to the wolf's neck.  It's poison reacting immediately as the Alpha could feel itself suffocating.  The poison attacked his lungs, forcing it to stop beating.  Forcing it's way into his body to stop his heart as well.  It could only watch as the bear got up and started fighting again.  He watched at the phoenix and the dragon burned his pack members from above, while on the ground, the lions, monkeys, tiger and bear systematically kill and annihilate the wolves.  

With the shudder of the Alpha taking it's last breath, the wolves could feel the death of their Alpha.  The wolves howled in unison as their leader died.  Having no one lead them, the pack's order broke and they start to retreat.  Soon the open field became empty as Dai kept his sword up to defend himself from the animals and beasts in front of him.  

"Put your sword down."  Xin said.  "They belong to my Mistress."  

Dai's eyes widen as he looked at the group of animals that helped him and Xin fight the wolves.  His heart shook with fear as he realized that the wife of Hell King was just as strong and fearsome as the Hell King himself.  She deserved to be the Hell King's wife with the knowledge and power to control the animals.  

His gaze followed the animals as the phoenix and dragon flew towards Lady Lihua and disappeared the moment they made contact with her body.  The lions and monkey's spread out in a protective circle around them.  Watching the forest from the open field for any movement and danger.  

When Dai's eyes finally fell upon Lihua he finally understood why she wore a veil at all times.  Her beauty captivated him.  Her delicate and feminine features made a man fall in love fast, making him want to make her his to protect and take care of.  He swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat as Lihua came closer to them.  Her beauty could start wars and crumble cities.  Hell King would only be a man worthy to possess such beauty.  

"Are you guys okay?"  Lihua said as she stopped in front of them.  Her eyes gazed at their injuries and saw no life threatening wounds on them.  

Xin kneels on one knee to greet his Mistress and thank her for saving him.  

"Mistress.  This servant thanks you for saving this servant's life."  Xin said.  

"Thank you for saving us."  Dai said as he bowed.  

"Please stand."  Lihua said.  "Let us gather the qi cores from the wolves as soon and as much as we can.  Their blood will attract more beasts and we need to be away from this place before they come."  

Obeying her orders, Xin and Dai quickly wrapped up their wounds to stop the bleeding, then the three of them collected the qi cores from the wolves that stored the qi of the beast.  A qi core from a beast is ten times stronger than the natural qi that surrounds them.   By using the qi core to cultivate, they would be able to cultivate faster.  

After ten minutes, Lihua told them to move out.  Her butterfly could feel an evil qi aura coming their way.  As the three of them qickly made their way North into the forest, her lions and monkeys lead the way, scouting their way as her bear and tiger followed behind, watching their backs for any surprises and attacks.  Her butterfly flew above her keeping watch of the evil qi that she felt.  

They traveled for a long time before stopping by a stream.  Xin and Dai were able to clean their wounds and re-bandage them with clean bandages that they brought with them.  Lihua kept watch as they rested by the stream, cultivating as much qi as they could in the short time they had as they rested.  Using the qi core from the wolves they were able to cultivate faster.  After an hour, they felt refreshed and could feel their wounds healing, thanks to the wolves qi core.  

"My Lady, I will stand watch as you cultivate."  Xin said as he stood up.  

"I'll just need ten minutes.  We can start moving afterwards."  Lihua said as she sat down.  Her tiger moved out from it's hiding place and sat right behind her, as it watched her back.  Lihua took out the qi cores she collected and held all of them in her lap.  She was planning to use all of them.  There was always a chance to collect more in the future.  Refilling her dantians meant more to her than keeping a qi core to sell.  

Lihua activated her qi and pushed her qi into the qi core in her lap, quickly infiltrating them with her qi and combing them together.  With one strong and quick tug, she pulled the qi in the the qi core and pulled it into herself, filling her empty dantians one by one.  After ten minutes, her body was at its best conditions.  Every dantian have been filled and over flowed with strength.  

Lihua opened her eyes and felt the qi within her grow as it stretched out her qi core and thicken her veins to let the qi flow through her faster.  She could feel herself grow stronger as she also took the qi that her animals have cultivated.  Her core roared with strength as more qi filled her core.  

"Ready?"  Dai asked as he saw her get up.  

Lihua nodded her head yes and the three of them move out, heading North towards their destination.
