Chapter 2012: The Wolf King 7
Just then…
The sounds of horse hooves could be heard coming from the back…
The wolf king frowned; a cold light flashed in its eyes. ‘Those humans are coming again.’
It glanced warningly at Flower King, and only after seeing the flower trembling did it turn around and look at the people coming behind it.
‘There are still a few days left before the flower will bloom, and I won’t let humans steal it away.’
It wanted to bring the flower to the little girl.
Among that group of people, the leader was a middle-aged man with cold and fierce eyes filled with murderous intent.
However, the wolf king only sneered in disdain.
‘Another group of weak humans…’
Some of them looked really confident, and they all came to s.n.a.t.c.h its flower away.
“Go away! This is not the place for you to be.”
The wolf king’s voice was raspy.
It was actually somewhat lovely to listen to.
General Lin had just stopped when he heard these words from the wolf king, and his expression changed dramatically. “This wolf can talk? Why didn’t the imperial physician mention it?”
‘A wolf that can talk, how strong is it?
‘But that flower is the only hope to rescue His Highness.
‘I can’t give up…’
General Lin gritted his teeth. “Your Highness, this wolf is somewhat strong. You must not come down. We’ll think of a way to lure it away and then take the flower from it. The spirit beasts are not smart enough. We can’t fight it, but we can track it.”
The wolf king was speechless.
Its eyes bloodshot, gradually turning cold.
‘These humans are too arrogant.’
Even if it had not recovered from its injuries today, it was still easy to deal with these people.
“Humans…”
The wolf king raised its gaze proudly and fixed its gaze upon the group of people in front of it. “It’s better if you leave now. I don’t want to kill anyone for her sake, but I also can’t allow anyone to s.n.a.t.c.h the things under my guard.”
General Lin seemed to have sensed that the wolf would kill them. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, but he still did not take half a step back.
Perhaps to him, for the sake of His Highness, no matter how difficult it was, he had to take it head-on.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Go!”
However, just as he said that a clear voice came from inside the sedan chair. “Wait! Let me talk to it.”
General Lin frowned impatiently, and there was even some disdain in his eyes.
‘What does this little girl think the wolf is? A dog she raises at home? Does she want to talk to it? Ridiculous!’
However, without waiting for anyone to stop her, the little girl had already stepped out of the sedan chair.
Her long snow-colored dress was still dirty, but her small face was so beautiful that it was hard to ignore.
The little girl’s eyes were as clear as water as she walked out smilingly.
The wolf king stopped, and its proud gaze fell upon the little girl.
The moment it saw the little girl, its heart felt like it was. .h.i.t hard; it almost stopped beating…
“Maiden Xia Xia…” General Lin’s face turned cold. “Hurry back. This is not a place for you to be! The wolf is not a dog. How reasonable do you think it can be?”
Nan Chiyou seemed to hate what General Lin said. Her expression darkened. “So what if it’s a wolf? It looks like a good wolf. Besides, this wolf looks like a dog.”
***
From the moment Nan Chiyou appeared, the wolf king’s gaze was only fixed upon her and never moved away.
For ten years, her scent had remained in its mind. It had never forgotten it. It wished that one day, the moment it met her, she could recognize it at a glance.
But…
It seemed like… She did not remember it…
