Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Only One Mate for Life
This old man was dressed in a way that was completely out of place with them. He wore a long robe, his hair was full of white and very long, simply tied up, like the attire of an ancient person...
He gave off an aura of an immortal, yet also the feeling of an old playful child.
"Young girl, I just saw you fighting the Black Wolf to protect my Wolf Child. Weren’t you afraid?"
In that kind of dangerous situation, the first reaction of most people would usually be to protect themselves.
But this young girl chose to protect the Wolf Child, even though the Wolf Child didn’t need her protection.
"Of course I was afraid!" Bai Haoxue said frankly, "But fear doesn’t solve the problem; I had to take a chance, what if I succeeded?"
"Hahahaha..." The white-haired old man laughed heartily, "You are quite an interesting girl."
Little Wolf Child frowned at the old man, "Grandfather, why is there so much blood on your hands, and if you have blood, you shouldn’t be holding me. You’ve dirtied my clothes."
White-haired old man: "..."
"You little rascal, you were just clinging to me like your life depended on it, and now you’re starting to dislike me, huh?"
The old man set the Little Wolf Child down.
"Grandfather, why haven’t you come home for so many days?"
"Why, were you worried about grandpa?" The old man pinched the Little Wolf Child’s small face, and the Little Wolf Child glared at him, angrily slapping his hand away.
White-haired old man: "..."
"Don’t be mad, hurry and go see your wolf mother one last time, she’s about to die."
"What did you say?"
The Little Wolf Child suddenly ran to a nearby cave; inside the cave were many wolves, the kind one often sees on television. But the wolf lying on the ground had entirely white fur, a rare White Wolf.
The White Wolf had just given birth, its beautiful white fur dyed red with fresh blood, lying weakly on the dry grass on the ground.
Beside it were two newly born wolf pups, one black, the other white, both very cute.
The Little Wolf Child ran over and rubbed its face against the White Wolf; the White Wolf struggled to rub back.
"Little White..."
The Little Wolf Child’s voice was somewhat choked with emotion, "Little White... don’t go... please don’t go, okay?"
The old man walked over and patted the Little Wolf Child, "It can be considered a natural death. You know, wolves have a lifespan of just so many years; it was already the oldest wolf in the forest."
The Little Wolf Child said nothing; he just stayed close to the White Wolf. The Black Wolf also laid on the ground next to the White Wolf.
The nearby wolves howled one after another to bid farewell to the White Wolf.
It wasn’t hard to see that the White Wolf was the king of this wolf pack, and the Black Wolf should be its mate.
Not long after, the White Wolf completely closed its eyes, and what no one expected or could react to was—the Black Wolf suddenly leapt up, crashed headlong into the cave wall, and died on the spot.
"Little Black... Little Black... Little Black..."
The Little Wolf Child crawled over to hold it, crying heartbrokenly.
The two little wolf pups nearby, as if sensing something, also started howling incessantly.
For a moment, the entire cave, and even the forest, was filled with the continuous howling of the wolf pack.
The Black Wolf followed the White Wolf in death out of loyalty. Watching this scene, Bai Haoxue felt indescribable emotions.
Previously on TV shows or in books, it was often said that wolves are the most faithful animals; they will only have one mate in their lifetime, and if their mate dies, they won’t seek another partner, preferring to remain alone forever.
Seeing it seemed merely an introduction to wolves, but the scene unfolding before her eyes left Bai Haoxue unable to describe her shock.
[PS: For those who think it’s exaggerated, repeat three times in your mind, this is a rebirth-based fictional novel, everything is fictitious and not linked to reality.
Also, many novels feature pythons, lions, tigers, and the like as pets, so don’t take it too seriously.]
