Chapter 981: Wolf Child
Ning Shu was very surprised. With Xuan Hongyu’s personality, how was it possible that he didn’t do anything to Shangguan Qingrou?
Didn’t he say that all of Shangguan Qingrou belonged to him, even her corpse? Ning Shu looked towards Xuan Hongyu who was walking ahead. “Master really likes Miss Shangguan?”
Xuan Hongyu replied mildly, “This prince does like her a lot, but she betrayed this prince, so this prince is punishing her.”
“What I want should belong completely to me, but Shangguan Qingrou is already dirty,” said Xuan Hongyu.
Ning Shu: →_→
Shangguan Qingrou was dirty? Just because she didn’t marry you, she was dirty?
“So this prince thought of something new. Doesn’t she want to have a happy life with Xuan Xiaotian and live until old age with him? Then I’ll make it so that they continuously doubt each other. This thorn should stab into their hearts for a lifetime,” said Xuan Hongyu, lifting his chin slightly.
Ning Shu: …
How messed up!
The impression Xuan Hongyu purposefully gave Xuan Xiaotian was that something had happened between him and Shangguan Qingrou, but he hadn’t touched Shangguan Qingrou. This way, no matter how Shangguan Qingrou explained things and tried to say that nothing had happened between her and Xuan Hongyu, there was already a thorn in Xuan Xiaotian’s heart that couldn’t be pulled out.
Every time this topic was brought up, this thorn would be pushed in deeper.
Ning Shu glanced at Xuan Hongyu as she asked, “Master, you really didn’t do anything to Miss Shangguan?”
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu. “Eleven, you talk a little too much.”
Ning Shu shut up and the two passed through the forest silently. After walking for half the day, they finally got to the base.
There was no longer anyone left in the base, causing it to feel very empty. There were some basic necessities still there, enough to last them for a while.
Xuan Hongyu walked straight to his stone room. This room was made exclusively for him. Its interior was very large and it was fully furnished.
Xuan Hongyu looked towards Ning Shu. “Eleven, this prince is hungry.”
“Then this subordinate shall go hunt.” Ning Shu turned and left the cave, then quickly weaved through the trees to the place where the mother wolf had been. She wanted to check on the child.
When she had left to head to the capital, those little wolves had still been baby wolves, but as of now they were already nearly fully grown. A few wolves were frolicking in the den, and amongst them was a dirty child. He was crawling on the ground like a wolf, even the way he sat was like the wolves. His long hair was dirty and tangled.
This child was probably almost one, but he showed no signs of trying to walk on two legs. On the contrary, he crawled on all fours like the wolves and even leaped like them.
It was perhaps due to the fact that he had stayed with the wolves for quite a while, but his gaze was slightly cold. He’d even mimic the wolves in baring his teeth and emitting a not quite accurate howl.
Ning Shu walked over, picked the child up, and tucked him under her arm. The child was startled and growled at Ning Shu while struggling fiercely to get free. He even bit Ning Shu.
Ning Shu pressed his head down to make him behave, then stroked his neck. The child instantly fell still when he sensed the danger.
Ning Shu then headed to the river and washed up. The child bared his teeth at Ning Shu while eying her warily, but Ning Shu just pressed his head directly into the water with an indifferent expression.
The child’s whimpering softened and he starting behaving and standing still while Ning Shu washed him. However, his pupils still contained the vicious currents of a wild beast.
After Ning Shu finished washing the child, she saw that aside from the blade scar on his chest, he had other wounds on his body. It was clear that he hadn’t been taken care of much by the wolves. There was even a scar on his forehead.
Ning Shu sighed. Back then when she left this child here, it was because she had no other choice. As of now, since all the work on hand was almost over, she naturally had to make sure that this child returned to human society.
The child took advantage of Ning Shu’s distraction and bit her wrist fiercely, refusing to let go.
Ning Shu expressionlessly pinched a muscle on the child’s arm. At first the child still wouldn’t let go, but it probably got too painful because he finally stopped biting her.
