Chapter 46 — His Gentleness (1/2)

Feng Lingran was a mysophobic master. Therefore right after leaving the arena, he threw the little fox into the bath.

”Clean up.”

When Feng Lingran finished speaking, his handsome face looked at his wet bloodstained hands. He frowned, and his eyes flashed with disgust, this smell mixed with the bear's and the wolf's blood was very unpleasant. If it wasn't because of that ignorant little fox, Feng Lingran's pair of virtuous hands would never -in his lifetime, be exposed to this kind of disgusting stench.

The little fox come up from the water, and stared at Feng Lingran -once again, washing his hands in the golden basin. Her fox eyes blinked, and she clicked her tongue, if you liked to be clean so much, then don't carry her ah!

It was as if Feng Lingran grew eyes on the back of his head, ”If you haven't clean all the blood, you're not allowed to come out.”

”…..” Overbearing!

The little fox turned her head, and stopped staring at Feng Lingran, her paws dug into the water making splashing noises.

Once Feng Lingran cleaned his jade white hands, he turned to see a certain little fox's crude behaviour. The corner of his mouth gently moved, and he changed into pure clean fresh robe.

When Qin Wen entered, Feng Lingran had already changed.

”w.a.n.gye, the Zaojiao1 you've wanted.”

Feng Lingran's slender fingers took the Zaojiao from Qin Wen's hands, he swept his black eyes at the discarded robe on the ground, and indifferently said, ”Deal with it.”

The little fox's pointed ears twitched, he don't like how she dirtied his robe? So he's throwing it away?

The little fox's heart was very upset, it continued to splash the water.

”Yes, w.a.n.gye.”

While Qin Wen was leaving, he glanced at the active little fox splashing in the bath. Fortunately this little fox was alright, it still can mischievously splash around like that.

Heaven knows, when the servants came running in a panic, reporting sounds of fighting from the arena, the first thing Qin Wen did was to relay it back to Feng Lingran. If it was before, even with animals slaughtering each other to death, he would have never told Feng Lingran.

This was the world where the strong survive and the weak die anyway.

But because of the little fox's disappearance, Feng Lingran's att.i.tude made Qin Wen not dare to take it lightly. This also proved that Qin Wen did the right thing, never had there been a day where he had been more right.

The little fox was brought out of the arena by Feng Lingran.

Feng Lingran went to the pool's edge while holding the Zaojiao, ”Little thing, come here.”

But the little fox didn't listen to Feng Lingran and continued to splash the water.

Feng Lingran's expression contorted with displeasure, his black tranquil eyes gazed at the little fox.

The little fox did notice Feng Lingran's expressions, but she feigned ignorance. She did not want to end up like the black panther, imposing and prideful on the outside, yet willing to sever under Feng Lingran, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. She would never surrender.

Suddenly, the little fox felt an attractive force. When it pulled her body, the little fox paddled at the water with all her might. But the distance between her and the water increased, her fluffy body rose higher.

What the h.e.l.l is going on here?!

The little fox opened her mouth in surprise, and her four paws were still incessantly… paddling.

Like a little turtle floating in midair.

Feng Lingran waved his hand at the little fox, and her fluffy body quickly moved backwards, its small paws were still frantically paddling forward, making the scene really comical.

The little fox was pulled into the hands of Feng Lingran, and very quickly he grabbed her four restless paws.

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Feng Lingran, are you crazy? Quickly let go of me.

Zaojiao was pushed onto the little fox's head, Feng Lingran looked at the her indignant eyes and explained, ”Ben w.a.n.g can see that you haven't fully cleaned the blood off your body.”

”Squeak squeak squeak……” Who said so? I am already very clean.

When the little fox replied, she turned her head back to look at her body, there were no bloodstains. Did Feng Lingran have poor eyesight?

But Feng Lingran paid no mind to the fox's nonsense, he directly rubbed Zaojiao onto its body. This little fox's body still reeked with the smell of blood, which made him very uncomfortable.

Feng Lingran didn't leave any places unclean, including her paws and between her legs, everything was rubbed with Zaojiao. Not even a little gap was left out.

Xiao Xi felt like she was stripped naked by the man. Being scrubbed clean, did she even have any privacy anymore? Gone, it was all gone, everything was given to Feng Lingran this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Xiao Xi clenched her teeth with rage, she didn't want to be a fox, she wanted to be a human. She wanted to be able to uphold her virtue, being a fox was too miserable, everything were up to the whims of other people. Even her privacy wasn't spared.

After scrubbing the little fox, Feng Lingran took it to the pool of water. Just as the paws touch the water, her whole body tensed. She wanted to escape from Feng Lingran's clutches, but she couldn't leap out. The little fox's heart was very worried ah!

Feng Lingran this jerk was very cruel. She might get pushed into the water and drown….

However, the little fox gradually stop struggling. She looked at Feng Lingran's slender fingers gently washing her body. Her fox eyes flashed with doubt, and raised her head to look at Feng Lingran.

Who can come and tell her, that Feng Lingran changed personalities?

”Ben w.a.n.g will order someone to bury the mother wolf's dead body.”

Ha?

The little fox almost thought she misheard, her eyes widen with surprise. He….he said… he would help her bury the mother wolf's dead body?

So… the mother wolf's corpse won't be eaten by other beasts, and also won't be thrown into the wilderness and pecked by vultures?

The little fox stared at Feng Lingran with grat.i.tude. She knew that with her strength alone, she would be unable to bury the mother wolf. But this man, as long as he moved a finger, can easily achieve it. He knew in her heart, if he was willing to help her, Xiao Xi would feel grateful.

The little fox looked at Feng Lingran's handsome deity like features. If this man stopped being so unfeeling, if this man was even a bit more gentle, he could probably make all the maidens in Eastern Jin go crazy!

The next day.

The little fox was about to run to the beast enclosure, when she saw the little snow wolf running out. Its eyes were very anxious, but after discovering the little fox, it excitedly ran over. It wanted to move closer to her, but also afraid that she will hit it again.

”Aowoo~ Aowoo~”

The little snow wolf made a few howls, as if asking the little fox, where was its mother?

How could she not notice the anxiousness in the little snow wolf's cries?

The little snow wolf was still looking for its mother. But it still didn't know that the mother wolf had… died.

The little fox recalled the time when the mother wolf died. Its pair of wolf eyes shined with an instinctive gentle motherly warmth, as if treating her as its own treasured child, the warmth could even melt the winter snow… The little fox's eyes burned, she suck in a breath from her nose, and felt something fall from her eyes.

She gazed at the sky, trying to hold back the tears inside her. At this moment, she can't continue to be weak anymore, because… she needed to protect this motherless little snow wolf.

The mother wolf saved her with its life, she too would protect the little snow wolf with all her life.

The little fox held back her tears, she took the initiative to get closer to the little snow wolf and lifted her small fluffy paws. The wolf cub thought that the paw was going to hit it, but the paw was placed on its cheek and began to move gently in a soothing motion.

Sorry, back then… I hit you several times.

The little fox apologized to the little wolf in her heart.

The little snow wolf was overwhelmed by the little fox's kind actions, its pair of wolf eyes were filled with joy. The little fox like it, the little fox didn't like the alpaca anymore.

Footnote!

1 Its a tree called the Chinese Honey Locust, ancient chinese people used it as soap back then. It also has medicinal properties.

Chapter 47 — A Smiling Angel

The little fox led the little snow wolf into the dining room. In the afternoons, the dining room would usually be empty, so the little fox wandered around freely, using her keen nose as a guide towards food. Very soon, there was a piece of chicken in her mouth, or more precisely, a piece of delectably cooked, succulent chicken in her mouth.

The second it saw the chicken, the little snow wolf's eyes started sparkling and it couldn't hold back its drool. Since its mother had left, the little snow wolf had been left starving for what seemed an eternity. Now it felt like it could eat a whole chicken by itself.

However, as hungry as it was, the little snow wolf did not s.n.a.t.c.h the food from the little fox's mouth. It cheerfully bounced in place, wagging its tail exuberantly like it was begging for the little fox's attention and waiting for her to 'reward' it.

It was such an endearingly silly scene!

The little fox knew that the little snow wolf was hungry, so she put the whole chicken in front of the little snow wolf. Seeing the little snow wolf's eyes so overwhelmed with grat.i.tude, the little fox made a toothy grin. Unexpectedly, the little snow wolf actually imitated her and also made a toothy smile.

What did a smiling wolf look like?

A description quickly flashed through the little fox's mind……a smiling angel.

The little snow wolf's eyes were clear. They did not have a trace of the solitary coldness or ruthlessness that a wolf would normally have. Its smile was also pure, like that of an angel spreading their flawlessly white wings. Together, the little snow wolf smiled so innocently that it could not help but attract loving attention to whoever saw it.

The little fox's heart broke a little. If it had not been for how well the mother wolf protected and sheltered it, the little snow wolf wouldn't have been able to reveal such a pure, innocent smile. It was because of her that the little snow wolf wouldn't even harm a chicken no matter how hungry it was.

The little fox's gaze softened as she watched it wolf down the chicken as if it was the world's most delicious meal.

Little snow wolf, you can eat slowly, the whole chicken is yours, no one will take it from you…

When aunt w.a.n.g entered the dining room to retrieve the food, the first thing she saw was the sight of two snow white beasts eating the chicken. She immediately burst with anger! How dare they! Those two wretched swines would get off fine, but she had had her salary deducted every month because of them! How dare they still come and steal food! Just watch! Today would be the day they finally died!

Aunt w.a.n.g rolled up her sleeves and picked up a broomstick in the corner. Like a fiend, she ran towards the little fox and the little wolf. However, when the fox turned around, she stopped dead on her track and stiffened. Startled, she dropped her broom stick and it fell onto her foot.

She jumped. Her shock quickly disappeared and hobbling on one foot, she ran after the two animals who had run out of the dining room..

”The little fox….The little fox…..It w.a.n.gye's little fox….Everyone! Hurry! Come help!”

This time, aunt w.a.n.g raced after them without any intention of harming them. Ever since she heard from the housekeeper that this little fox was very important, even if she had ten times the courage she had now, she would still be too afraid to hit that little fox!

Xiao Lu saw aunt w.a.n.g rushing outside, and her eyes flashed with astonishment.

Little fox?

The same little fox she had thrown into the beast field?

Xiao Lu frowned, thinking thoughtfully, she turned and disappeared from her spot.

Little fox and little snow wolf were very fast. It was impossible for aunt w.a.n.g to catch up with them with her current oversized physique. However, even though the little fox managed to avoid aunt w.a.n.g, she could not avoid Xiao Lu. She boiled with rage and resentment at the mere sight of her.

If this woman had not hit her with that slap, she would not have fallen into the beast enclosure and run into that ferocious short-faced bear. If she hadn't met that bear, the mother wolf would not have had to save her and meet such a violent death under the short-faced bear's claw.

Xiao Lu was slightly surprised at the little fox's glare. That little beast clearly held a great lot of resentment towards her.

But why?

Was it because of last night's incident? Had it been looking for her to take revenge?

Ridiculous.

Xiao Lu walked towards the little fox, seeing how it hadn't moved away, she scowled maliciously. Was this little beast waiting for an opportunity to get revenge?

Xiao Lu's fingers throbbed, the injury on the back of her hand still ached dully. That little beast was the reason she had that wound. She really wanted to return the favor a tenfold by chopping off its paws. Let's see how well it could scratch people then.

She suddenly noticed the little snow wolf next to the little fox, she had seen it several times before. Every time she saw it, the little snow wolf was always following its mother, that mother wolf…..its eyes emitted a green glow, it was not a beast to be provoked.

Was the mother wolf nearby?

Suddenly, the little fox jumped up and threw itself towards Xiao Lu. She quickly crawled up under Xiao Lu's clothes.

Xiao Lu turned pale with fright and quickly tried to catch the little fox. When she managed to grab it, her neck suddenly erupted with pain. She let out a wretched scream, and mercilessly dragged the little fox off before forcibly dropping her onto the ground.

The little fox's back hit the ground very painfully, but it was worth it. She spit out a piece of flesh from her mouth. Xiao Lu deserved her punishment.

Xiao Lu pressed the wound on her neck, but could not stop the continuous flow of blood seeping through her fingers.

Xiao Lu's face twisted in pain. Her crazed gaze landed on the little fox. She picked her up with her right hand, radiating with killing intent.

Gnashing her teeth together, she shouted, ”Beast! Just die!”

The little snow wolf seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly tackled the little fox out of her grasp. Turning towards the little fox, it howled, ”Aowoo~ Aowoo~”

The little fox's body rolled on the ground a few times. Her heart squeezed at how much it resembled the mother wolf as the it urged her to leave. But the mother wolf had died, and so she could no longer protect the little snow wolf from harm.

The little fox quickly leapt up. She opened her jaw, revealing her sharp canine teeth and bit down onto Xiao Lu's fingers.

Xiao Lu's palm changed direction, it was a close call and the little snow wolf managed to avoid a calamity, however if her palm was to hit the little fox's body, the fox would be the one to end up dead instead.

”Aowoo~Aowoo~”

On the ground, the snow wolf saw the little fox in danger and urgently called out to her.Probably aware that his call was useless, he suddenly rushed behind Xiao Lu. Hesitating for a second, he made up his mind and bared his teeth. Resolutely, he leapt forward and took a bite of her calf.

The little fox leapt off Xiao Lu's palm and towards her chest. Pulling open her lapel, she pounced into her clothes. Xiao Lu didn't expect the little fox to change the trajectory of her palm, nor did she expect that shameless fox to crawl into her clothes. The fox's soft fur grazed her skin, and Xiao Lu felt her whole body shiver, but very quickly, that was replaced by a sharp pain on her chest and her calf.

Why was that little beast so vulgar?!

Tears of pain leaked from her eyes. While reaching in to drag the little fox out, the pain on her chest had intensified.The little fox had her teeth clamped onto her chest…….

Xiao Lu heard the sound of footsteps getting closer. Someone would be arriving soon. She hardened her heart and forcibly dragged out the little fox while using her heel to kick the little snow wolf away.

The little fox held onto a piece of tender snow white flesh. Her eyes met Xiao Lu's murderous eyes, and her heart bursted with satisfaction.

If no one tries to bully, harm, or kill me, I will not bully, harm, or kill anyone. However, if someone tries to bully, harm, or kill me, have no doubt that I will bully, harm, or try kill them right back.

Since that is the law of this world, I, Xiao Xi, will abide by that law.

Xiao Lu's clothes were disarrayed, her bosom was out in the open for anyone to see, and blood had dyed one of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s red. Her fingers squeezed the little fox in her grasp.

With a fierce expression, she snarled, ”Even though you are the regent's beloved little pet, I have a good mind to send you to h.e.l.l right now.”

Sellychi: Little snow wolf is a good boi

Panda: Her bosom was originally a spring scene in the raws lol why is chinese like this? Happy birthday again Selly! I hope you have a good day!

Chapter 48 — Can You Respect The Wolf?

Little snow wolf was strongly kicked by Xiao Lu and painfully staggered back up only to see the little fox being fiercely gripped by Xiao Lu. The little snow wolf became anxious, its eyes flashed with a green glow as it darted against Xiao Lu's bleeding leg.

If the mother wolf was still alive and saw how the little snow wolf was finally acting more like a real wolf, she would have probably be able to rest with a smile on her face.

Unfortunately, she pa.s.sed away, but maybe, just maybe her soul and spirit were watching this scene?

The sound of footsteps gradually got closer, mixed with the clamorous voices of Guanjia, Pozi1, and little servants.

Xiao Lu frowned. She could not afford to stay here any longer. She still had to accomplish her Master's plan and failing because of these wretched little beasts was not an option.

Xiao Lu ruthlessly threw away the little fox that she had thought of choking to death. Turning around to face the little snow wolf that was unremittingly biting her leg. She gave it a palm, injuring him until he released her leg.

The little fox endured the pain ravaging her whole body as she ran to the little snow wolf's side and shook his body with a small paw.

”Squeak squeak… Awo Awo…”

The little snow wolf raised its head and saw the little fox. It was pleasantly surprised, had the little fox learned wolf's speech?

The little fox shook its head with twitching ears, ”Awoo” she called uncomfortably, as if her lower jaw was about to fall down.

The little snow wolf thought that the little fox wanted to play with it and excitedly stood up, but its legs gave way almost immediately and it fell down onto its stomach again.

The little fox saw how the snow wolf was struggling to stand up. She thought that the little snow wolf was fine, but unexpectedly… he was actually injured.

The little snow cub beared the pain and attempted to lift itself back up to play with little fox, but it couldn't…

The little snow wolf looked at the little fox with distress. It was afraid that the little fox would not play with it and would leave to play with… the little alpaca.

”Aowoo~”

The little snow wolf used its call to urge the little fox to stay, it was very afraid that it would be left alone here….

Seeing the little fox use its paw to gently stroke his fur, the little snow wolf's heart felt an indescribable peace. But a moment later, the little fox suddenly turned around and ran…..

”Aowoo~ Aowoo~”

Little snow wolf felt as if his soul fell from heaven to h.e.l.l, getting lacerated, bruised and beaten black and blue on his way there. Little fox… don't go… don't leave me… I'm scared…

The little fox also did not want to leave, but, she had suddenly spotted a familiar figure, who was the only one that could save the little snow wolf's injured leg.

Suddenly, little fox leaped up and threw itself into Feng Lingran's arms. Feng Lingran was slightly surprised by the action.

The little fox looked at Feng Lingran's handsome face and then rubbed against his arms with affection.

”Squeak squeak squeak…..” Feng Lingran, you are the smartest and most handsome man in this world, please save the little snow wolf's leg!

Little fox cupped both of its paws in a begging motion.

Feng Lingran's eyes flashed with astonishment and then slightly raised the tip of his brow, was this little thing begging him?

”You're quite the talented individual. While Ben w.a.n.g was gone, the entire Regent's Palace nearly got into a big commotion, and that was caused by you alone?”

The little fox was slightly dumbfounded, its round fox eyes looked at Feng Lingran. She did not make a commotion ah! She simply brought little snow wolf into the dining room to eat chicken, then suddenly b.u.mped into that rotten woman Xiao Lu. This fox and the little snow wolf almost died by that rotten woman's hands.

How could Feng Lingran wrongly accuse this fox?

”Squeak squeak squeak…..” Please, please, this fox is begging you! Please save the little snow wolf's leg!

Feng Lingran stared at the little fox for a moment, he could hear that little snow wolf's desperate cries, as if the little fox had abandoned the pitiful wolf.

Hearing the anguished cries of the little wolf, Xiao Xi's heart felt as if her heart was breaking, as if she had betrayed her loyal follower…

”Squeak squeak squeak…..”

Little fox looked at Feng Lingran with a pitiful expression, in order to make this man save the little snow wolf's leg, little fox also had to recklessly risk its life.

Feng Lingran gracefully lift up his slender finger and leisurely stated, ”Are you going to bite this King again next time?”

Little fox stared blankly for a moment, then immediately shook its head. No biting, no biting, I would not bite you anymore.

Satisfied with the answer, Feng Lingran walked over towards the direction of the little snow wolf's loud cries while carrying the little fox.

Little snow wolf was crying loudly, but after seeing Feng Lingran's formidable face, it immediately shut up, no more loud crying. At the same time it saw the little fox in Feng Lingran's arms and once again became high spirited. It entirely forgot about the little fox's 'don't want you' att.i.tude from before. The little snow wolf excitedly tried to stand up. Unfortunately, as if the heavens was against it, it fell back down even after trying time and time again with great effort.

Seeing the little snow wolf's vain attempts, Feng Lingran's thin lips ruthlessly spit out two words, ”Stupid wolf.”

Suddenly, Feng Lingran's eyes shifted down, meeting with the little fox's beady eyes.

”Little thing, don't you think that it is a stupid wolf? Hmnn?”
