Chapter 2014: The Wolf King 9
“No need.”
Without waiting for Nan Chiyou to step onto the sedan chair, the wolf king spoke coldly. The moment it turned to look at Nan Chiyou, its eyes became a lot gentler.
“I’ll just carry you.”
“Alright…”
Nan Chiyou smiled brightly.
Perhaps it was the influence given to her by Feng Ruqing since childhood that made her comfortable to get close to the spirit beasts.
Compared to sitting in the sedan chair with Murong Qing, she was more willing to follow the wolf king.
Murong Qing did not force Nan Chiyou, he just looked at the wolf king with mixed emotions, but he did not think much about it. He then turned around and smiled faintly.
‘”It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
General Lin’s throat was a little hoa.r.s.e as he looked at the wolf king and said, “But, if we bring back this wolf… It might go crazy…”
The wolf king’s gaze sank.
Nan Chiyou pouted unhappily. “The wolf won’t go crazy. It’s a spirit beast, and it can think like us.”
The difference between a spirit beast and an ordinary beast was that a spirit beast could think like a human and would not attack other people recklessly.
Unless someone provoked it first…
“General Lin…”
Murong Qing frowned. “I trust Maiden Xia Xia.”
General Lin sighed and smiled bitterly. He had always felt that the spirit beasts were still dangerous to people, but he had no choice and could only obey the order.
Nan Chiyou jumped onto the wolf’s back.
The little girl’s face was stunningly beautiful when she smiled.
“He said he knew how to leave this place. I’m lost, and he’s willing to help me, so I have to wait for him to recover before leaving. When I leave, I’ll bring you home. I have many spirit beasts at home that can keep you company.”
The wolf king smiled gently. “Alright. Oh, my name is Ming.”
“Ming… Don’t you have a last name?”
“Mm.”
“Then, your name will be Nan Ming.”
“Alright.”
It seemed that no matter what she said, the wolf king would always agree with her.
***
General Lin’s face darkened.
He did not know why this wolf was following this little girl, but it was simply ridiculous for this little girl to say that her family raised many spirit beasts.
Spirit beasts preferred freedom and would never want to be kept at home.
It must be just some ordinary little pets that she thought were spirit beasts.
Perhaps, after this wolf followed her, those small pets might not even be enough to be eaten by it.
Nan Chiyou kissed the wolf king’s head smilingly.
“You’re so pretty. I like you.”
The wolf king lowered its gaze.
Flower King, who was shivering at the side, suddenly felt that its face turned a little red.
Murong Qing pursed his lips enviously.
Xia Xia had agreed to go home with him, but he felt like she did not really trust him.
However, Xia Xia had just met the wolf, and she already had such a good relationship with it. Perhaps, this was the difference between animals and people…
She could easily get along with the spirit beasts, but it was normal to be a little wary of people.
Moreover, the wolf was no different from a dog in her eyes. Of course, she would feel more comfortable with it.
Flower King curled up, wishing to disappear, afraid that these people would eat it.
That had become a lifelong nightmare for it since it met the wolf king.
“Your Highness, let’s go.”
General Lin did not even look at Nan Chiyou. To him, this girl was nothing but good-looking, so he did not understand why Murong Qing would be so nice to a girl he had just met.
