Chapter 472: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 17
He had caught a cold before, and if she hadn't taken care of him, how could he have recovered so quickly...
He looked down at her forehead and cheeks, which still had some red marks, and frowned, listening to her steady breathing, which seemed particularly clear in the quiet night.
[Actually, you don't have to do this. This encounter between you and me is also a matter of fate.]
[You already know my identity, so just stay in the mansion.]
[I just hope I can find your family soon, so you can have some peace and stability.]
[In the future, our family will be harmonious, and we will both be at peace. If I ever treat you unfairly, don't worry, I will support you.]
He was furry and warm, and it was really comfortable to hold him while sleeping. Lu Zhihuan fell asleep without knowing when while listening to him.
Xie Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at her. Her delicate facial features flickered in the light of the fire. Her brows were relaxed and her breathing was shallow.
Perhaps she had a dream, the pink tip of her tongue came out, licked her lips, and let out a soft moan, and the originally light and dark lip color was stained with water.
Especially tempting.
He quickly lay down and closed his eyes. The presence of the person next to him was very noticeable, making him feel a little uneasy.
[Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita…]
With a wolf-shaped pillow on one side and a fire on the other, accompanied by a lullaby, Lu Zhihuan slept soundly.
Outside the cave, besides the whistling sound of the wind, there were also the howling sounds of wild beasts.
Xie Zhao did not dare to be careless. He quickly ignored the person who was sleeping soundly beside him and listened vigilantly to what was happening outside.
He didn't fall asleep until dawn.
……
The bonfire went out, Lu Zhihuan felt a little cold, and arched his back towards the heat source.
Xie Zhao opened his eyes and what he saw was the hairy top of his head. His wolf claws, which had been numbed by pressure, moved.
[hiss!]
[Hey! Wake up.]
[My claws...my hands are numb from being pressed.]
Lu Zhihuan mumbled "hmm", then knelt down and nodded his head a few times before standing up.
A few hairs on the top of the head stood up.
Xie Zhao quickly stood up, his left front leg could no longer touch the ground, it was so numb that he had no feeling.
He walked out on three legs, and Lu Zhihuan burst out laughing when he saw his walking posture.
Xie Zhao turned his head, looking inexplicably silly and cute.
[You still dare to laugh? It's all your fault.]
Lu Zhihuan had evil thoughts in mind. While putting on her cotton jacket, she said in surprise, "Ah! We slept together! I'm not going to get pregnant with a litter of wolf cubs, am I?"
One of Xie Zhao's front legs also split and stuck to the ground, making a "wow" sound.
[Don't talk nonsense.]
"Oh! Then I feel relieved!" She took the casserole and went to the river to fetch water.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Her laughter could be heard from far away.
Xie Zhao had no choice but to limp up the mountain and stand on the top to observe the terrain.
This is the deepest part of Qingluan Mountain. It will take at least two or three days to get out of the forest.
He is now the leader of the pack and may run into hunters before he even leaves the forest.
Even if he could avoid the hunter, how could he return to the capital with this body?
By now, Tuying must have sent his body back home!
Seven days
He might have to wait a few more days before returning to his original form. The jungle is dangerous, so he should send her out first.
When he returned to the cave, Lu Zhihuan had already cooked rice porridge.
Seeing him come back, he put half a rabbit on the stone slab and pushed it over.
"Eat quickly, we still have to go collect herbs."
[Aren’t you going back?]
"Since we're here, why don't you pick some more herbs to take back?"
[The jungle is dangerous.]
"It's okay, I have you!"
[You are unwell.]
"It's okay, I have you!"
[This is just nonsense!]
[If I hadn't left my scent around, a beast would have come over long ago.]
Lu Zhihuan grinned, thinking that she didn’t understand. Isn’t it just peeing everywhere?
"Then I'll fill two cloth bags and a backpack, and then I'll go back." She pouted cutely, "Please!"
He always followed his word and no one disobeyed him, except for her...
After eating and drinking, Lu Zhihuan limped out to collect herbs with a basket on his back. Xie Zhao followed him, alert to the movements around him.
They stayed in the cave for another night. Lu Zhihuan collected herbs during the day and slept with the big bad wolf in his arms at night.
It feels like camping, so comfortable.
Xie Zhao was reluctant at first, but she was restless after falling asleep, and she would kick her coat and snuggle into his arms every time.
He also knew that his fur was warm, so he let her do it.
It was already the third day, and at dawn, Xie Zhao urged her, "It's time to go back today."
Lu Zhihuan arched his back in his arms, and Xie Zhao turned over on his belly and raised his head to avoid the attack. Lu Zhihuan accidentally kicked his bell.
"Hmm~" Xie Zhao groaned.
"Did I kick you?"
[fine……]
"Where did you kick? Let me see!"
Xie Zhao tucked his tail between his legs to prevent her from looking. [It’s okay…]
I quickly diverted her attention, "Didn't you promise me you'd leave today?"
Lu Zhihuan sat up and looked at him worriedly, "What will you do if I go back? You're not a little parrot. I can't take you back."
When Xie Zhao saw her worried look, an ambiguous emotion rose in his heart and he lowered his head.
[obedient.]
[You go back first, I have my own way.]
He stood up and dragged over two cloth bags filled with medicinal herbs.
Lu Zhihuan tied two cloth bags together, then crawled under them and carried them on his back.
[Let’s go!]
Only then did Lu Zhihuan pick up his backpack and small bag and follow him away.
Looking at his figure, he curled the corners of his mouth. He was obviously a wolf, but he was being used as a mule.
Lu Zhihuan stumbled along for a whole day, but didn't get very far. Finally, as it was getting dark, he found a tree hole, which was not suitable for a bonfire.
At night, I can only rely on his wolf-shaped pillow to keep warm.
Outside the tree hole, the cold wind was howling, making the branches creak.
In the tree hole, Lu Zhihuan curled up in his arms, with his hands buried in the thick fur on his neck, absorbing the warmth.
Xie Zhao's right paw was resting on her head, but his left paw had nowhere to rest. He saw that her exposed ear was red from the cold.
After hesitating for a moment, he still put his paw on it and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Lu Zhihuan secretly curled his lips, Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao, you lost from the first time you accommodated me.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Xie Zhao went out hunting. Lu Zhihuan found a sheltered place and roasted a pheasant.
After eating, we continued on our journey.
It was getting dark, and they still hadn't found a tree hole or cave. Xie Zhao smelled the blood on her body and felt a little worried. It had been so many days, and she was still bleeding?
It is easy to attract wild animals.
The weather is gloomy and it might snow. It seems that we can’t rest at night and have to keep on traveling.
996 is online [Host, walk a little further, there is an abandoned hunter's cabin. ]
It took about another half an hour.
Xie Zhao was the first to spot it, "Hold on a little longer, there's a hunting lodge ahead."
Lu Zhihuan was stunned not to see it, "There's clearly... no house in front of me?"
When she got closer, she realized, "Ah? It turns out to be a semi-underground one!"
[Wait. ]
Xie Zhao put down the cloth bag and went in first to check. He only let her in after making sure there were no living creatures.
He himself went hunting.
Seeing that he was not there, Lu Zhihuan took out a flashlight and walked in.
It was only about ten square meters, had a musty smell, and had a single wooden bed with some hay on top.
There was something that looked like a fireplace with a smoke vent at the top. The wall near the door was covered with hooks, probably for hanging game.
When Xie Zhao came back, there were bonfires lit inside and outside the house.
After all, there is no way to barbecue in the house.
Half an hour later, after eating and drinking his fill, Xie Zhao threw the bone residue far away.
When he came back, Lu Zhihuan was already asleep under his coat. He brought a chill when he walked to the bed.
Lu Zhihuan shuddered subconsciously, "You're so cold."
Xie Zhao: “…”
That's not what you said a couple of days ago. The house is warm now and we don't need him anymore.
