Chapter 79: A Slip of the Tongue After Drinking
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
“You really weren’t kidding, this little girl’s teeth are really powerful!” Liu Yu Tong raised her left arm–bandages were wrapped around her palm and elbow. Obviously, she had been bitten.
…Previously, even Ling Han had been bitten when he let his guard down, proving that this little girl was really very good at sneak attacks. More importantly, you simply wouldn’t believe how fierce her teeth were unless you experienced it with your own body.
“This girl was definitely born in the year of the dog!” Ling Han shook his head.
“She’s much more powerful than a dog, she’s definitely born in the year of the tiger!” Liu Yu Tong had already experienced some hards.h.i.+p, and shook her head with lingering fear. The first time she was bitten was indeed due to her carelessness, but she had still been bitten a second time even though she had had her guard up, proving how scary this wild little girl was.
Of course, this was also because she had not thought of harming the wild girl. Otherwise, no matter how sharp her teeth was, Liu Yu Tong would have easily killed her with one swat.
“Where did she come from?” Liu Yu Tong asked curiously.
“She had been living in the wild, raised by a tiger. I don’t know anything else besides that,” Ling Han bent down in front of the wild little girl, his hand extended to tease her. “Little girl, you probably don’t have a name, so I’ll have to give you one.”
“Hu! Hu!” The wild little girl, kept opening and closing her mouth, her teeth clicking noisily together, as she chased after Ling Han’s finger for a bite.
“You were raised by a tiger, so we’ll call you Hu Niu then!” Ling Han said with a smile, then turned to Liu Yu Tong and asked, “Is there something like a birthmark on her? With that, we’ll be able to help her find her real parents in the future.” [1]
“There is one!” Liu Yu Tong nodded. “There was a very strange mark on her ankle, though I can’t tell if she was born with it or someone had marked her after her birth.”
Ling Han lifted the covers to take a look, and there was indeed a mark on the little girl’s left ankle. It was about the size of a copper coin, with a very complicated pattern. He really could not tell what the pattern meant. Theoretically, such a complicated marking should have been branded after her birth, but there was absolutely no sign of any such branding, so it looked as if she had been born with it.
It was really very odd.
“What do you plan for Hu Niu?” Liu Yu Tong asked. She had already started feeling affection for this little girl. “This little girl only thinks that she is a wild beast. If you don’t plan well enough, she will definitely get into trouble.”
Ling Han nodded and said, “Let’s have her follow us first. Wait until she regains her human intelligence before we decide the next step.”

Hu Niu did not think that she was a human being at all. She was like a wild cat or a tiger cub. They helped her put on some clothing, but she immediately ripped the clothes off her. If they did not tie her up, she would definitely be even more nimble than a monkey. What was even more of a headache for Ling Han was the fact that she did not eat cooked meat.
Whether it was grilled or boiled meat, she would not touch a single bite of it if it was put in front of her. Instead, her eyes would fix upon Ling Han’s neck, killing intent br.i.m.m.i.n.g within her eyes. Obviously, she would be happier to have Ling Han as her feast.
To remove her wild nature, the first step was to change her eating habits.
Ling Han took a bite of the grilled meat in front of the little girl, then put the grilled meat back down in front of her, then stepped back.
Hu Niu kept holding herself back from making any moves, but after half a day, her stomach grumbled, and her eyes had become even fiercer. Still, she did not make a move to eat the meat until it was about midnight, and she finally could bear it no longer. She squirmed a bit, and finally took and began to eat the grilled meat.
Both her hands and feet were tied, so she could only wriggle forward like a worm.
Her appet.i.te was terrifyingly large, she quickly finished off such a huge pork leg. The little girl licked her lips as if she had not eaten enough. The expression on her face was very strange, because she had never eaten such delicious meat.
On the second day, Ling Han continued to attend various social gatherings, and on the fourth day, Li Hao and his other old friends finally found the opportunity to meet him.
“I never thought that you would actually manage to get the first place!”
“Yeah, you are really impressive, too amazing!”
“I am more envious of Li Hao. He’s going to enter into Hu Yang Academy very soon and Big Brother Ling will take care of him there, so there’s no fear that he’s going to be bullied in an unfamiliar place.”
