Chapter 35

Its words were somewhat ambiguous, but it certainly spoke human language.

Even without using his mental power to read it, Xie Juanhan could still understand most of it.

Xie Juanhan looked closely and found that its speech was rather slurred, which was not a physiological problem, but mainly because it was carrying something in its mouth.

It seems to be --

A chubby black and gray wolf cub?!

Xie Juanhan asked Telingewei in a low voice, "Do you know that Demon Wolf? It seems like there's more to it than meets the eye?"

"I don't recognize him. I've never seen him before. He's probably a recently moved-in Demon Wolf."

Xie Juanhan: "So, the Demon Wolf can talk?"

"No, it's probably not a common one. It might be some other species." The dragon increased its distance, gliding silently through the sky. "Some kind of cursed magical creature?"

The Dragon Companion Beast fled quickly, disappearing into the bushes with a "Chirp chirp chirp!"

Demon Wolf: "Impossible! You are Dragon Companion Beast!"

The little guys. "Chirp!"

What do you mean I misread it?!

The Demon Wolf said gruffly, "Even if you ran away, I could tell just by the filth you left!"

One of the Companion Beast, a little fellow, cried out in exasperation, "Chirp chirp chirp!"

The dragon didn't listen any further, carrying Xie Juanhan on its back as it flew down. "Looking for me?"

The Demon Wolf looked at the enormous Black Dragon ahead, braked suddenly from a distance of more than ten meters, and left long scratches on the ground of the Magic Forest with its claws.

"My Lord Dragon," the Demon Wolf said, his expression turning serious, his voice deep and earnest, "Good afternoon."

Telingewei: "What's up?"

Demon Wolf: "Um, I heard you came to the Magic Forest looking for Demon Wolf. Our clan has suitable cubs that we can give to you—"

The Demon Wolf put the wolf cub out of its mouth.

The wolf cub was covered in soft, fluffy fur, had unexpectedly large eyes, and its ears, which hadn't yet stood up, drooped softly on its head.

Its four thick paws were planted on the ground as it backed away, standing close to the Demon Wolf, appearing somewhat timid.

Telingewei: "You don't seem to have the habit of sending cubs as gifts?"

Without hesitation, the Demon Wolf replied, "This little guy is leaving the nest and hasn't found a suitable place yet. I heard the sacred silver dragon needs Demon Wolf, and it's willing to join them."

"Looking for me?" Xie Juanhan, somewhat surprised.

The Demon Wolf turned its gaze to Xie Juanhan: "Good afternoon, Lord Silver Dragon."

Xie Juanhan: "What's the difference between your race's Demon Wolf and the Meli Demonic Wolf? You're not the same race, are you?"

The Demon Wolf replied without hesitation, "We can grow bigger, fiercer, and more loyal!"

Xie Juanhan: "This little guy?"

The little guy buried his big head in the big Demon Wolf's body, and didn't look fierce at all.

The Demon Wolf said, "Yes! It's still small, but it's already quite strong. We can take it back and it will learn to hunt."

As he spoke, the Demon Wolf howled at the little Demon Wolf, "Awoo!"

It gestured for it to look at Xie Juanhan.

The little guy didn't move, still burying its head in the big Demon Wolf's body, leaving only its furry bottom visible, and its little fleshy tail swaying.

Demon Wolf: "..."

The Demon Wolf howled even more solemnly, "Woo."

Under the threat of the elders' calls, the little one reluctantly raised his head and whimpered.

The Demon Wolf looked down at the little guy and gestured to Xie Juanhan opposite it with its eyes. "Awoo."

The little guy looked at Xie Juanhan, then at Telingewei, and hesitantly raised his paw.

Everyone was quite patient with the little Demon Wolf, waiting in place.

Finally, the little Demon Wolf stared at Xie Juanhan and tentatively took a few steps forward.

It paused for a moment, then moved forward a little further.

Xie Juanhan observed the little guy.

They couldn't see very clearly when they were in the sky, but after landing on the ground, Xie Juanhan realized that the little guy was extremely sturdy.

It has a big head, big paws, and its body is covered in fat, making it look completely solid.

Xie Juanhan squatted down, gesturing for the little guy to come over.

Encouraged, the little Demon Wolf quickened its pace and ran towards him with bouncy steps.

The great Demon Wolf looked at the little guy with satisfaction.

The Companion Beast in the distance had also stopped and were looking over curiously.

The little Demon Wolf ran a few steps quickly, reached Xie Juanhan, and tilted its head to look at him.

Xie Juanhan extended his hand.

The little guy slightly raised his front paws.

Xie Juanhan compared them and realized that the little guy's front paws were almost as big as his palm.

I reckon it'll grow up to be a magnificent wolf.

The little Demon Wolf stood there, paws raised, deep in thought.

Xie Juanhan didn't urge it, patiently waiting for it to make a move.

Telingewei stood silently by his side.

The great Demon Wolf and its Companion Beast were even less inclined to urge them.

Little Demon Wolf and Xie Juanhan exchanged glances.

Xie Juanhan looked at the little guy with encouraging eyes.

The little guy seemed to have finally gotten an idea, but instead of putting its raised paw into Xie Juanhan's palm, it lunged forward and nimbly snatched the corner of the cloth bag that was sticking out of Xie Juanhan's pocket.

Xie Juanhan: "Huh?"

The little Demon Wolf swiftly pried open the cloth bag with its claws and darted inside.

This guy really is a pure-hearted wolf.

Xie Juanhan brought a large bag with him when he went out, intending to use it to carry some gathered items such as mushrooms and nuts.

The little Demon Wolf darted into the pocket, only its head and half its body going in, leaving its soft belly and furry bottom sticking out.

It bumped into Xie Juanhan's arms with the cloth bag on its head and then stopped moving.

Xie Juanhan subconsciously pulled the little Demon Wolf in his arms closer and looked up at the big Demon Wolf.

Telingewei also watches Big Demon Wolf.

The great Demon Wolf was silent for a while before saying, "I taught it how to crawl into a pocket before, and it learned quite well, ha, ha, ha..."

Telingewei interrupted the great Demon Wolf's dry laugh, "Is something wrong with the little guy?"

"No!" the great Demon Wolf immediately retorted, "Absolutely not!"

Xie Juanhan narrowed his eyes. "Have you noticed? When you feel guilty, your voice gets louder."

Great Demon Wolf: "Is that so? Ha, ha."

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei both looked at the Great Demon Wolf.

The great Demon Wolf had no choice but to say, "We Laicheston Demonic Wolf are born with the potential to awaken as either Demonic Beast or magical creatures. Of the little ones born this year, only this one has awakened as Demonic Beast."

Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei, asking with his eyes if it was true.

Telingewei shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

The great Demon Wolf raised a front paw. "Truly, I swear to my ancestors, if I am lying, may I be condemned to eternal damnation."

Xie Juanhan: "Why did you decide to give the little guy to us?"

The great Demon Wolf said honestly:

"Our clan's crows heard the message from the forest birds and came to tell me, so I brought the little guy over."

"We already know about you and the dragon. If you're willing to adopt it, it would be perfect for it."

"I swear, it is far more docile than any other dire Demon Wolf. If it settles in your territory and is under your protection, it will never run away."

Seeing Xie Juanhan still pondering, the Great Demon Wolf grew impatient. "We're in the Magic Forest. If you really can't keep it then, you can send it back to us."

Xie Juanhan raised his eyes and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you raise them now?"

The great Demon Wolf sighed, "It awakened as the only Demonic Beast, and it doesn't understand why the other cubs awakened as magical creatures. Staying in the pack, it's always depressed and has become very timid."

Xie Juanhan looked down at the little Demon Wolf and somewhat understood the reason.

Being an outsider in the group is indeed too cruel for the little guy.

The Dragon Companion Beast understood, and their eyes showed sympathy. "Chirp chirp."

Xie Juanhan glanced at Telingewei, and seeing that he didn't object, said, "Shall I try taking it back?"

The great Demon Wolf stomped its feet twice on the spot and said:

"That's great!"

"Compared to other Demon Wolf- type Demonic Beast, it has absolutely no problems except for eating a little more and defecating a little more."

"By the way, if it can't find enough prey, could you give it a little help? Just for a moment!"

The little Demon Wolf yanked its head out of the pocket with a "bang," its soft ears twitched, and its bright eyes stared at Xie Juanhan: "!!!"

Chapter 35 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei eventually brought the little Demon Wolf back.

Before leaving, Xie Juanhan looked back.

The great Demon Wolf remained where it was, watching them leave with the little Demon Wolf in its arms.

Xie Juanhan paused, then asked, "Does the little guy have a name?"

The great Demon Wolf wagged its tail. "Yes, its name is Moli."

Xie Juanhan nodded, grabbed the little Demon Wolf's paw and shook it. "Remember to play with it when you have time."

Great Demon Wolf: "Awoo, I understand."

The little Demon Wolf was taken to the other side of the Magic Forest, where it remained very well-behaved.

Xie Juanhan placed it in the Magic Forest near the farmland, built it a small nest under a dead tree, and put a soft blanket on it.

The little Demon Wolf quickly adapted to the environment and made the area around the farmland its territory.

It loved its new territory.

When Xie Juanhan was tending to the farmland, it would wander around nearby.

Xie Juanhan noticed that the little Demon Wolf had a very strong sense of territory.
