Be My Daughter

The Female Snow Wolf moved like a flash, snatching up the roasted meat on the ground and fixing its gaze on Xu Fan.

It was afraid he might suddenly attack.

"See? I mean you no harm." Xu Fan smiled and spread his hands.

Though it couldn't understand what Xu Fan was saying, the Female Snow Wolf could still sense something.

Its gaze was no longer as fierce as before. Instead, a complicated emotion surfaced in its eyes.

This time, it didn't immediately back away. It stayed where it was.

From Xu Fan, it felt something it hadn't felt in a long time.

Ever since the Snow Wolf King became the new leader of the pack, it had not only been driven out.

Its life had also changed completely.

Every familiar companion now showed it intense hostility.

The moment it stepped into the pack's territory,

they would surround and attack it.

The other beasts in the forest were also constantly trying to kill it.

To survive, it had no choice but to change.

It made itself faster, stronger, and smarter.

It had assumed Xu Fan was just like the other beasts.

That he wanted to lure it in with a little roasted meat, then find a chance to kill it.

But what it could never have imagined was...

It couldn't sense the slightest trace of malice from this strange creature.

On the contrary, he seemed to be the only one in the forest who cared about it.

Especially his eyes.

They looked so kind.

Almost exactly like its father's.

That was right.

It couldn't even remember how long it had been since it last felt this way.

Just as the Female Snow Wolf thought of this...

Perhaps the sight stirred up old memories.

Perhaps it missed its father and all those moments from the past.

It couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Even so, the Female Snow Wolf swallowed the roasted meat in its mouth.

The human and wolf watched each other.

"Don't worry, I've got plenty more." Xu Fan smiled.

Beside him lay the whole body of the Snow Wolf King.

There was enough to fill both human and wolf to bursting.

The only pity was...

He was in the Forbidden Land, where supplies were limited. He couldn't add any seasoning to the meat.

Otherwise, a little salt and black pepper would have made it several times more delicious.

"If only I had a bowl of cold noodles to go with the roast. That'd be even better."

"But you probably can't understand what I'm saying, can you?"

Xu Fan chatted to himself as he picked up the machete again.

The Female Snow Wolf backed away a few steps, putting enough distance between them.

There was no denying it: the Female Snow Wolf was extremely wary.

Xu Fan said nothing more. He cut another large piece from the roasted meat, held it in his hand, and offered it to the wolf.

His smile never faded.

He waited for the Female Snow Wolf to come closer.

But the sight...

left every viewer in the Live Stream Room stunned.

"What's Xu Fan doing?"

"He's playing with fire. He's definitely playing with fire!"

Everyone found it baffling and unbelievable.

They simply couldn't understand where Xu Fan got the confidence.

How could he feed a beast from the Forbidden Land like this?

They could understand leaving the meat on the ground.

If the Female Snow Wolf wanted to eat it, it would have to lower its head. It could even crouch in a way that let it strike back at any moment.

That would give Xu Fan a chance to kill it with one swing.

But now, he was actually holding the meat in his hand!

Wasn't he afraid the Female Snow Wolf would suddenly lunge at him and bite his hand?

The Female Snow Wolf wasn't just a beast from the Forbidden Land. Its threat level had also reached D+-Rank.

Even a conservative estimate suggested its bite could tear an adult's arm off in an instant!

"Am I dreaming, or am I still asleep? This is just too bizarre."

"Our Xu Fan has definitely gotten carried away. Does he really think Wrist Strength Enhancement makes him Superman? If the Female Snow Wolf bites him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Where are the officials? Hurry up and warn Xu Fan!"

"Didn't they already use up their one weekly call? How are they supposed to warn him?"

A flood of comments swept across the screen.

Every viewer was on edge.

"Wait a second. Could Xu Fan be trying to tame the Female Snow Wolf?"

Suddenly, one comment caught everyone's attention.

Looking closely, Xu Fan really did seem to be feeding a pet at home.

"How full of himself would he have to be to think he could control a beast from the Forbidden Land?"

"This isn't some stray cat or dog on the street. It's a beast—a D+-Rank beast. How could it possibly be tamed?"

"Even if the Female Snow Wolf seems to accept Xu Fan's kindness, who can guarantee it won't stab him in the back later? Xu Fan has roasted meat now, so it might not be hostile. But when he runs out of food, who knows if it'll decide to eat him instead!"

"Exactly, exactly. Just think of The Farmer and the Snake, Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf, Hao Jian and the Old Lady..."

For a moment, everyone thought that taming a beast from the Forbidden Land

wasn't just absurd—it was downright dangerous.

But it was no wonder the viewers thought that way.

After all, during the day, they had already formed a preconceived notion.

Everyone saw the beasts as humanity's enemies.

The contestants who entered the Forbidden Land were naturally invaders in their eyes.

Every contestant who encountered a beast had been attacked.

The outcome was either a narrow escape,

or a fight to the death that left the beast dead.

Of course, there were also pitiful contestants like the one from Zhayu Kingdom, who died in a beast's jaws on the very first day.

So...

Taming a beast?

Who could accept that?

Forget accepting it. Even imagining it seemed like sheer fantasy.

And yet...

In the Forbidden Land,

Xu Fan kept holding out the roasted meat, patiently waiting for the Female Snow Wolf to approach.

Gulp.

The Female Snow Wolf swallowed.

Its mouth was watering so much that it kept producing saliva.

There was no helping it. This was the first time in its life it had ever tasted cooked meat.

Even without seasoning like salt, for a child who had never seen the world,

this delicacy was nothing short of a divine masterpiece.

And judging by the situation before it, Xu Fan, this strange-looking creature, had even killed the Snow Wolf King—an opponent it hadn't been sure it could defeat!

That realization hit the Female Snow Wolf with tremendous force.

This creature before it not only knew how to make the most incredible food, but also possessed great strength!

Perhaps...

Submitting to him wasn't such a bad thing after all.

For a moment, the Female Snow Wolf couldn't help feeling an inexplicable admiration for this powerful and confident creature.

After an unknown amount of time, the Female Snow Wolf cautiously stepped forward. It slowly extended its tongue and licked toward the roasted meat in Xu Fan's hand.

Seeing this, Xu Fan let go.

The barbs on the Female Snow Wolf's tongue caught the meat, and it naturally fell into its mouth.

"Why don't you be my daughter?" Xu Fan joked.
