Chapter 986: Chapter 984: This Kid Is So Annoying!
No one expected that the fierce battle they anticipated would disperse so harmoniously and peacefully. Everyone was somewhat puzzled as they watched the gray wolves leave one by one.
What happened to the fierce battle they were promised?
All the gray wolves had left except the leader, which remained crouched on a boulder, whispering with Xiao Qi.
"Xiao Qi..." Wufu called out nervously, watching Xiao Qi murmuring with the leader wolf. Could it be that he wanted to leave with it?
Xiao Qi glanced at her, then at the leader wolf, his eyes full of reluctance, and tears glistened as they fell.
The leader wolf licked both sides of Xiao Qiâs face and placed its two front paws on his shoulders as if embracing him. Suddenly, it let out a howl and ran into the forest, disappearing from sight.
Xiao Qi also howled, and with all four limbs moving swiftly, he chased after it.
"Xiao Qi," Wufu shouted in panic, immediately wanting to chase after.
Ah Jiu held her hand, saying, "Donât worry, itâs probably saying goodbye."
Wufu pressed her lips together, keeping her gaze on that direction, her hand clenched at her side.
Not far away, the sound of a wolfâs howl came, followed by a rustling, and Xiao Qi appeared in Wufuâs sight again, looking dejected, like an abandoned child, which tugged at the heartstrings.
"Xiao Qi," Wufu was overjoyed and ran over.
Seeing this, Ah Jiu thought sourly, wouldnât it be better if he didnât come back?
"Letâs pack up and rest a bit more," he said, glancing at Wufu and the little one, instructing the others.
"This bond of Xiao Fiveâs is quite something," Tie Hanyang remarked with a laugh as he observed the rapport between Wufu and Xiao Qi.
Master Gui thought so too, didnât he?
Apart from developing a bond with people, they stumbled upon a Wolf Child and avoided a fierce battle by sheer coincidence. This was not just a good bond; it was excellent luck.
Wufu, unaware that the others were discussing her, was busy comforting her little companion. She gently touched his bald head and said warmly, "Donât be sad. Youâre human, and staying with us is good for you. If you miss them in the future, we can visit them when we have the time."
No matter how Xiao Qi ended up being raised by the wolf pack, there was undoubtedly a nurturing bond between them. Just from his closeness with the leader wolf earlier, it was clear that the wolf treated him like its own child. Otherwise, this fierce battle wouldnât have ended so peacefully because of his presence.
But thereâs an age-old saying: People outsider your group will have different intentions. Who knows what the future holds?
So, being able to return to human society should be better for Xiao Qi. After all, heâs still young, and thereâs still a long road ahead of him.
Xiao Qi looked up at her, and Wufu said, "As long as I have food to eat, you wonât go without either."
Perhaps sensing Wufuâs goodwill, Xiao Qiâs tense emotions relaxed, and he nuzzled his head against Wufuâs arm.
Wufu felt a warmth in her heart and gently patted his back.
A cough came from nearby.
Wufu and Xiao Qi looked over simultaneously to see Ah Jiu approaching, glaring at Xiao Qi unfriendly.
Xiao Qi bared his teeth at him; this person was the most annoying.
"Itâll be daylight soon, and we have more ground to cover, so get some sleep," Ah Jiu said, pointing at Xiao Qi. "You, go nest in the tree."
Wufu said, "Heâll sleep next to me," as she led Xiao Qi away.
Ah Jiu was so angry that he nearly exploded.
This little brat, so infuriating!
