Chapter 397: Chapter 397: The Little Wolf Child’s Grandfather...
The person hadn’t finished speaking when the wild wolf’s howling suddenly echoed through the forest...
"Awoo... Awoo... Awoo..."
One howl after another, as if bidding farewell to something.
Little Wolf Child furrowed his brows, feeling an ominous premonition, and quickened his pace.
Bai Haoxue followed closely behind him, but the workers behind them were too scared to proceed any further.
Lin Zhan didn’t force them.
These workers weren’t trained Hidden Guards; their fear was natural.
Little Wolf Child led the way, going deeper into the forest.
The wolf pack’s howls rose and fell, creating fear and eeriness mixed with an inexplicable sadness.
Suddenly, a huge creature lunged at Little Wolf Child. Bai Haoxue reflexively rushed over to shield him.
She tightly embraced Little Wolf Child as they rolled on the ground, while the wild wolf, even more ferocious, bared its fangs and leaped towards Bai Haoxue.
"Miss Haoxue..."
This happened so quickly and unexpectedly that Lin Zhan had no time to save Bai Haoxue.
Just as the wild wolf was about to bite Bai Haoxue, she swiftly drew a sharp Swiss Army knife to fight the wolf.
"Xiao Hei, stop!"
Little Wolf Child wriggled out of Bai Haoxue’s arms and shouted at the wild wolf, glaring at it fiercely.
What happened next shocked everyone. Not only did the wild wolf stop, but it also lowered its head submissively and nuzzled against Little Wolf Child.
Little Wolf Child was still a bit angry about the wolf attacking Bai Haoxue, but when he saw tears in the wolf’s eyes, he reached out to stroke the wolf, "Xiao Hei, what happened?"
The wild wolf hung its head, its entire body enveloped in a sense of sadness.
Little Wolf Child stood up and said to Bai Haoxue, "Don’t be afraid, it’s very gentle,"
Bai Haoxue: "..."
Lin Zhan: "..."
The workers: "..."
Are you sure you don’t misunderstand the meaning of "gentle"?
This wild wolf was a rare Black Wolf, with a pure black coat, looking both majestic and fierce.
A pure-colored Black Wolf is a very precious breed within the Wolf Clan.
Little Wolf Child petted the Black Wolf, seemingly able to understand its language, and asked in surprise, "Grandpa is here?"
The Black Wolf blinked, and Little Wolf Child’s usually expressionless face relaxed for once. He looked up at Bai Haoxue and said, "My grandpa is here."
"That’s great, let’s go pick him up quickly, or we won’t make it down the mountain today."
"Mm!" Little Wolf Child nodded.
With the Black Wolf leading the way, Bai Haoxue and the others followed, the wolves’ howls still resoundingly persistent.
"Wolf Child, why are you here?"
Suddenly, an old man with a head full of white hair appeared in front of Little Wolf Child and scooped him up.
"Grandpa..." Little Wolf Child quickly hugged him, his voice soft and childlike.
"Oh dear, what’s wrong, my little treasure? Just a few days and you’ve become so clingy to Grandpa?"
Little Wolf Child, "I thought you were dead?"
Grandpa: "..."
"You little imp, can’t you talk properly?" The white-haired old man flicked Little Wolf Child’s forehead and then turned to look at Bai Haoxue and the others, "Did you bring these people to find me?"
The old man sized up Bai Haoxue and the others, while Bai Haoxue examined the old man.
Full of confusion and curiosity, surged in their hearts...
