The village chief’s son, He Wenqing, furrowed his brow deeply, his legs still trembling.
If not for Gu Jin’s sudden appearance inexplicably calming the wolf pack, they would have already been engaged in a life-and-death struggle with them.
Perhaps it was precisely because Gu Jin was there that he felt a bit more at ease, and boldly stepped forward to ask Liu Daqing and others, "Did you take sothing from them? Otherwise, why would they keep staring at you?"
Liu Daqing, seeing the wolves halting their advance, gathered his courage to point to the person hiding behind him, "Liu Er’er took the wolf cub!"
"Awooo..."
As he finished speaking, a weak sound of a wolf cub ca from Liu Er’er’s arms.
The lead wolf, hearing the sound of the cub, imdiately turned its head, furiously glaring at Liu Er’er, its gaze so vicious it seed as if it wanted to tear him in two.
Liu Er’er, cradling the white wolf cub in his arms, faced the fierce and angry stare of the lead wolf and its pack. Frightened, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
It finally dawned on him that the wolves were fixated on them because he had taken the wolf cub.
Having realized this, he imdiately flung the white wolf cub from his arms, as if disposing of a ti bomb.
However, his throw was off the mark.
The small white wolf cub curled into a ball as it was tossed high into the air. If it fell to the ground, it might die instantly, and even if it survived, it would be injured.
The wolf pack, upon seeing this, rushed towards the cub, while the lead wolf’s gaze glinted murderously at Liu Er’er.
Without any regard, it charged at Liu Er’er, biting into his leg.
anwhile, no matter how swift the wolf pack was, they couldn’t catch the cub falling from high above.
In a critical mont, Gu Jin intervened, releasing a faint spiritual power from her hand. The spiritual power wrapped around the falling cub, slowing its rapid descent.
In the eyes of both the wolf pack and the onlookers, an incredible scene unfolded.
Though they couldn’t see the faint spiritual power in Gu Jin’s hand, they witnessed the cub, which was supposed to crash hard to the ground, gently landing like a falling leaf.
The little wolf cub seed to sense the familiar aura of the pack, lazily turning over with a clumsy and endearing movent.
A gray-white mother wolf approached the white wolf cub, picked it up, and retreated behind the wolf pack, standing there while watching Gu Jin with eyes full of gratitude.
It was clear that animals also possess empathy. Gu Jin received its friendly gaze and faintly curled her lips.
She hadn’t expected to communicate amicably with the wolf pack, which avoided a bloody confrontation.
anwhile, Liu Er’er was severely bitten by the lead wolf, with his leg bleeding profusely.
Seeing the cub was alright, the lead wolf also retreated back into the pack.
In Qingshan Village, a dozen or so n stood facing the twenty to thirty wolves, with Gu Jin always by her uncle and father-in-law’s sides.
She understood the wolves’ fear of her, possibly sensing her ability, and it was ultimately better that a human-wolf battle didn’t occur.
She conveyed her goodwill to the lead wolf, hoping it would perceive her intentions and leave promptly.
If a human-wolf conflict were to erupt, she would undoubtedly stand with the villagers of Qingshan Village, even though she understood it was the villagers who took the wolf cub, even if the matter stemd from the villagers’ fault.
In the dark of night, the lead wolf’s piercing gaze lingered on Gu Jin for a long ti before it raised its head and howled.
"Howl howl howl..."
The wolf pack behind it followed with a united roar.
