Chapter 453 - 453 453 I am the Wolf (3)_1

Chapter 453: Chapter 453 I am the Wolf (3)_1 Chapter 453: Chapter 453 I am the Wolf (3)_1 “…” Xiu Xi.

This focus seems a bit off.

“No! I wasn’t struck by lightning!” That bolt of lightning must have been caused by his defiance of the heavens! But the only one struck was her, not him.

Just, he didn’t know why, but when she was sent back here, he was somehow sent along with her.

Perhaps that was also fate.

“Then how did you get here?” Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t believe him.

All she did was sneak a little meat and she got struck, yet he had committed far greater sins. To fill his belly, he had eaten quite a number of animals. Why was she, who only stole a tiny bit of meat, struck by lightning while he, who consumed so many animals, was not?

It just didn’t make sense.

Ruan Jiaojiao was convinced that he must have been struck too, but being a wolf, and such a formidable one at that, he must have his pride. How could he possibly wish for her, a little kitten, to know that he’d been struck by lightning?

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded her head, showing understanding for his wolfish dignity.

“…” Xiu Xi, silently watched as she filled in the blanks.

In the past, she always loved to mutter to herself, but back then he was the King of All Beasts. If he wanted to, he could be privy to all her inner thoughts. Now, however, having exhausted his cultivation, he lacked that ability and could only watch her helplessly.

Xiu Xi’s silence made Ruan Jiaojiao even more sure of her guess.

Looking at him and thinking of how pitiful he had looked when he’d first arrived, she felt… this wolf was truly pitiable. In that forest, nearly every animal was afraid of him, but here, turned human, he initially couldn’t even speak properly, his words popping out one by one. And he was eating mice… Ugh, so pitiful.

At this moment, Ruan Jiaojiao completely forgot about the fact that this wolf had saved several thousand units in her place. All she could think about was his previous pitiable state and how utterly miserable he seemed.

She jumped down from the edge of the bed.

Under his puzzled gaze, she walked up to him, with an ‘I’ve got your back’ expression, and earnestly said, “Don’t worry. Even though you aren’t Xiu Xi, I’ll still take care of you in the future until you learn how to survive in this world.” It was her way of repaying him for the meat from his past life.

“But speaking of which, you were really dense in your past life, always failing to catch me. And food, you never knew how to hide it properly. Every time I stole from you, you never learned, never thought to hide it somewhere else. This life you must be smarter. This world is not the same as the one we last stayed in; the people here are much craftier.”

“Also, you can’t tell anyone else that you’re a wolf; they will think you’re crazy,” Ruan Jiaojiao instructed seriously.

Feeling like she owed it to him for eating so much of his meat in a past life, she decided in this life she needed to take care of him, especially since this world was, so to speak, her turf. She had an extra lifetime of memories, so she was bound to fare better than average. Naturally, she had to take good care of this silly wolf before her.

“…” Watching Ruan Jiaojiao look at him with an expression of looking out for a younger brother, Xiu Xi didn’t have the heart to tell her that he had purposely left that meat for her, knowing with her skills, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to starve—she would have ended up as another creature’s meal.

Next, as Ruan Jiaojiao continued to marvel at the wonders of this world, Xiu Xi just quietly listened.

Ruan Jiaojiao, mid-exclamation, suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Xiu Xi, “Why do you think we’ve returned to this world? Oh right, I haven’t told you my secret, have I?”
