Chapter 2013: The Wolf King 8
The wolf king looked somewhat disappointed.
After all, it had remembered her for so many years, but in the end, she had forgotten it…
Nan Chiyou walked toward the wolf king.
Murong Qing came down from the sedan chair and saw Nan Chiyou walking toward the wolf king; his heart tightened. “Maiden Xia Xia, it’s dangerous. Don’t go.”
However, Xia Xia did not seem to hear him and continued walking toward the wolf king.
Her pace was gentle, but it landed heavily on the wolf king’s heart.
“Wolfie, can you give me that flower?” Xia Xia blinked and smiled brightly.
The wolf king immediately cheered up after hearing Xia Xia’s words.
It turned around, walked to Flower King, grabbed it with one bite, and walked toward Xia Xia.
Xia Xia smiled happily. She hugged the wolf king and kissed its forehead.
The wolf king was stunned by the kiss as if it had been struck by electricity. It froze, staring at Xia Xia dumbly.
Murong Qing saw the wolf king gave Flower King to Nan Chiyou, and a doubt flashed in his eyes.
‘Everyone said that the wolf king was fierce, but why was he so gentle to Maiden Xia Xia?’
He could not figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it.
‘Maybe Maiden Xia Xia has a charm that attracts spirit beasts…’
Flower King trembled when it was handed over to Xia Xia by the wolf king.
If it were not for the wolf king staring at it from the side, it would have jumped down and run away.
“But, when will this flower bear fruit?”
Nan Chiyou turned to Murong Qing and looked at him blankly.
Murong Qing was silent for a few moments. “I’m not sure. Why don’t we bring it back first?”
“Alright…”
Nan Chiyou blinked.
She did not know if the fruit was effective, but at least she had to wait for Murong Qing to recover before she could leave.
She would have been lost in this savage land had Murong Qing not helped her.
“My father doesn’t want me anyway, so I’ll follow you back first. I’ll leave when you have recovered.”
The little girl looked so pitiful when she said that her father did not want her anymore.
The wolf king followed Nan Chiyou, its face expressionless.
Nan Chiyou turned to look at the wolf king, confused. “Are you going to go with me?”
The wolf king nodded and gently responded, “Mhm.”
‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me.
‘I only want to protect you in this life.’
“Your Highness…”
General Lin’s expression darkened. ‘The wolf king was too dangerous. If we brought this back, and it went crazy… I’m afraid that the whole imperial city would suffer…’
Murong Qing smiled. “The wolf king has handed the flower to us. Moreover, Maiden Xia Xia likes it. So let’s bring it back.”
General Lin sighed and looked at Murong Qing helplessly.
After all, he knew his status, and if His Highness had agreed, there was no way General Lin could stop him.
However, he felt that the wolf king’s gaze toward Murong Qing was filled with hatred.
It was as if… Murong Qing had deliberately s.n.a.t.c.hed away something that belonged to him.
‘The wolf king gave Flower King on its own… It’s not like we s.n.a.t.c.hed the flower from it, so why is it looking at His Highness so fiercely?’
“It’s already late. We should go back now. Maiden Xia Xia, you should come into the sedan chair with me.”
Murong Qing smiled shyly.
