Shi Wen was unaware of this and felt melancholy about it.

On the first day after the Wolf King went missing, Shi Wen felt depressed and decided to take away its treats when it returned.

On the second day after it went missing, Shi Wen was already a little worried.

But thinking about it, it might have gone to a faraway place to meet its mother wolf, so it's normal that it wouldn't be able to get back in a day.

By the third day, Shi Wen couldn't sit still any longer and discussed with Yan Kexing, "Why don't we go find the Wolf King? Where do you think it is now? Did it really go to meet the mother wolf?"

"It might not be that easy to find," Yan Kexing comforted him. "Don't worry, it might have run far away. If it hasn't come back in a week, we'll look for it again."

The two Hu Zai are equipped with GPS trackers, so they would be easy to find if they got lost. However, the Wolf King has nothing on him, so finding him will be quite difficult.

Shi Wen sighed, "Who would have thought that this guy, who was eating and drinking so well here, would actually run away? Do you think it might not be able to find its way back?"

Yan Kexing: "It's practically impossible. Even a snow leopard could find its way here, so the Wolf King couldn't possibly not find it. Let's wait a couple more days. If it doesn't come back by then, I'll go out and look for it myself."

After hearing Yan Kexing's words, Shi Wen felt a little relieved.

However, he was still worried about the Wolf King, so he was a little distracted while working.

Seeing Yang Yiqing comforted him, "The Wolf King is a wild animal. It survived peacefully before without human help, let alone now. Besides, it spent the whole winter in the pasture, and it's grown strong and healthy. Even if it encounters an old rival again, it will definitely win. Don't worry."

Shi Wen sighed, "That's all we can think of. We hope it can come back as soon as possible."

Yang Yiqing: "Take it easy. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be on the ranch, casually coming over to mooch a meal."

Shi Wen, "That's also possible."

The two comforted each other, but comfort was just that—comfort. Another day passed, and the Wolf King still hadn't appeared.

It wasn't until the evening of the sixth day that Shi Wen finally spotted the gray figure of the Wolf King on the pasture.

This guy has been missing for so long that Shi Wen had almost given up hope of seeing it again.

Upon seeing it, Shi Wen joy, was that he should give it a good beating to prevent it from running away again next time.

After seeing the Wolf King's figure clearly, Shi Wen suddenly realized something was wrong; it wasn't the only one that had returned, it was also carrying a gray figure in its mouth.

Could it have brought its own baby back with it?

Could a second Langwa be arriving at the ranch?

He stood up straight and looked, only to realize that what the Wolf King was carrying in its mouth was not a wolf, but a sheep.

It's not just a resemblance, it's definitely a sheep.

It brought back a lamb!

The lamb was grayish-brown all over, timid, with horns on its head, and its big, bright eyes were particularly striking.

Shi Wen hurriedly went to greet him, "Where have you been? Where did you get a sheep? You didn't go stealing one, did you?"

The Wolf King put the lamb down. "Awooo."

The lamb was still alive, but it was terrified. It huddled there, trembling, unable to even stand up.

I was startled Shi Wen that the Wolf King had brought someone's lamb over. After a careful inspection, I realized that it hadn't brought a sheep, but rather a goat.

No, why would this guy steal someone else's goat?

There are several thousand sheep on the pasture, and there is no shortage of sheep.

Shi Wen loud voice called out to Yan Kexing in the room, "Yan Kexing, come quick! The Wolf King is back, and he's brought back a sheep!"

Yan Kexing's tall figure emerged from the house. "What sheep? Let me see."

Shi Wen turned to Yan Kexing and said, "I don't recognize it. Something seems off."

Shi Wen spoke, the Wolf King lay at his feet, acting coquettishly, wagging its big tail, revealing its soft belly, and sticking out its tongue. It seemed that it didn't feel anything was wrong about being away for almost a week.

Shi Wen simply didn't know how to discipline this guy, and was also worried about the sheep that was completely terrified.

Yan Kexing to it and looked at it, saying, "Something's not right."

Shi Wen, "Right? They're not quite the same as the sheep we raise."

After inspecting the sheep Yan Kexing said, "Siberian ibex, a Class II protected animal in China."

"It's a protected animal!" Shi Wen anxiously, squatting down and pinching the Wolf King's thick, large ears. "Why did you bring back a protected animal?"

The Wolf King, confused, tilted his head and looked at Shi Wen: "Awoo?"

Heiwa and the others watched the commotion from the sidelines.

Whether it was displeased with their onlookers or with Shi Wen's attitude, the Wolf King suddenly stood up and reached for the terrified ibex again. "Awooo!"

Yan Kexing blocked the ibex from being carried off by the Wolf King.

The Wolf King panicked, stood still, raised its tail, and howled at them.

Shi Wen sensed something was off. "Are ibex the kind of sheep that are more aggressive?"

Yan Kexing: "The rams are quite fierce; even a snow leopard might not be able to defeat them."

"Isn't carrying a ibex cub a rather risky thing to do?" Shi Wen looked at the Wolf King, feeling that there might be some misunderstanding. "You've been gone for a week just to hunt for me?"

Wolf King: "Awoo!"

Yan Kexing looked at the Wolf King and asked, "Has it misunderstood something?"

"What misunderstanding? Do I like goats?" Shi Wen was about to say it was impossible, but then he suddenly remembered that more than a week ago, when Qile Moge brought him back, he had been looking at the Dolan Sheep.

It seems the Wolf King was watching from the side at that time.

She may have noticed his fondness for Dolan Sheep.

Shi Wen, "It seems it saw how much I craved the Dolan Sheep. Could that be its original intention in bringing me the sheep?"

Yan Kexing: "Possibly."

"But the Dolan Sheep and the Siberian goat look completely different." Shi Wen looked at the Siberian goat again. "Their colors are even different."

Yan Kexing: "We can't expect a wolf to distinguish between sheep, just as it's difficult for us to distinguish between wolves."
