"Hmm... strange, why have you left your pack? Don't worry, we know the way; we won't get lost or fall off a cliff." Mengdie patted the giant wolf's belly, smiling.
The giant wolf lowered its head and gently licked Mengdie's face, tickling her. As Mengdie laughed and jumped away, the white wolf again stretched out its tongue, licking her upright ears. The ticklish sensation made Mengdie's legs go weak for a moment, and she giggled, lying on the white wolf's stomach.
“Mengdie sister, it... it seems to really like you…” Nia, who feared the white wolf the most, hid behind Father Kotton, watching timidly.
Xiu: “Hahaha. Miss Mengdie, it seems we can’t drive this white wolf away now. What should we do? Although I don’t mind taking it with us. After all, it could save us some money on buying horses.”
Hearing Xiu's words, the white wolf vigorously nodded its head, its red eyes focusing on Mengdie, who was still catching her breath on its belly.
Mengdie placed her hands over her ears, jumping aside. It took a while for the blush on her face to fade slightly.
“Phew... Wolf, thank you for your attention. But I can't take you with us. You belong to the forest. Following us into the human world will surely bring you a lot of trouble. Besides... our journey is very dangerous, and we don’t even know if we’ll survive in the end.”
The red eyes showed a hint of dejection. The white wolf lowered its head, its ears drooping, appearing very sad. It whined lowly, reluctant to leave Mengdie’s cheek, making the girl laugh again and escape.
“Alright, alright, we really can’t take you. Go back, you are the leader of the pack. What will your pack do if their leader runs away?”
Mengdie kept persuading, but the white wolf seemed determined to follow, sitting in front of her, refusing to budge. Mengdie huffed and walked away, but the white wolf stood up and followed closely, showing no intention of leaving.
“Hey, are you really going to abandon your pack?”
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Miss Mengdie, please don’t be angry~~~ Can you listen to me for a moment?”
At this point, Xiu interjected. Mengdie nodded and closed her mouth.
Xiu cleared his throat and walked beside the white wolf, examining it carefully. Finally, he scratched his head and face, smiling.
“Miss Mengdie, I think... it’s better to take this white wolf with us. Because...”
Xiu dared not pat the white wolf, only pointing at it with his staff, continuing: “With its current size and strength, it has already far exceeded what nature can bear. Simply put, if it returns to nature, it will disrupt the natural balance. Its excessive strength will inevitably lead the rest of the pack to become complacent and lethargic. When hunting with its participation, the ease will surely cause the other wolves to gradually lose their abilities. Moreover, without any restraint or natural predators, it will have an indelible destructive impact on the forest. I don't know if the white wolf has considered such far-reaching consequences, but for now, taking it with us is far more beneficial to the forest than letting it return. And, well...”
Xiu scratched his cheek, revealing a mischievous smile: “Hehehe, with its help, won’t we have a better chance against the Black Flame Snake?”
As if echoing Xiu, the white wolf nodded vigorously with every statement. After Xiu finished speaking, its red eyes looked at Mengdie expectantly, its tail wagging continuously.
Mengdie crossed her arms, pondering—
“Do you... really want to travel with us? Have you arranged everything for your pack?”
The white wolf nodded: “Woof!”
Mengdie: “Is that so? But remember, our journey is really dangerous, and our opponents are so strong that even I am not confident of victory.”
The white wolf raised its head: “Awoo!”
Through this inexplicable communication, the girl and the beast seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, nodding together. Then, Mengdie hugged the white wolf's neck and exclaimed loudly: “Then, please take good care of us in the future!”
The white wolf howled excitedly, then suddenly lowered its head, targeting Mengdie's swaying tail and gently catching it. Mengdie’s cheeks flushed red again as her eyes, tired from the journey, closed slightly. Just as she was about to protest, the white wolf suddenly leaned down, tossing Mengdie onto its back and, with another joyful howl, dashed towards the other side of the mountain, leaving the four people behind stunned. After exchanging glances, they shouted and chased after the direction where the white wolf had disappeared...

At night, in the village.
The burned-down village had been cleaned up, and all that was left was to rebuild. However, on this quiet night, a shadow with an ominous aura arrived at the weary village...
"Mom, I'm back."
The huge figure knocked on the door of a house on the west side of the village. The old woman who opened the door burst into tears upon seeing her son.
"My son! You... you're back? This time, don't go anywhere and stay with mom, okay?"
The huge figure smirked cruelly, grabbing his mother's hand and carrying her on his back.
"Mom, rest assured, from today onwards, no one will be able to humiliate us again. I’m taking you to a place, the base of the organization I serve. Lord Black Shadow has agreed to let me bring you there. From now on, we can live together forever, and I can always serve and honor you."
Before the old woman on his back could finish, the huge figure dashed off into the darkness. And in just a few minutes, over fifty people with Black Flame Snake tattoos on their shoulders silently entered the village. They crept into the houses where the villagers were temporarily staying, and regardless of whether they were old or infants, men or women, healthy or injured, they raised their blades and aimed at their hearts...
“Pchhh——!!!”
The three moons turned a blood-red color. And a month later, a small corner of the “Imperial Daily” reported the news of a small village wiped out due to a wolf pack's attack...
