Her big eyes were watery.
“Big Doggie, why don’t you tell me a story? Mother always tells me a story before I sleep.”
‘Tell a story?’
The silver wolf was a bit embarrassed, but when it saw the little girl’s big, watery eyes, its heart softened. “Alright… Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and… There was a silver wolf living in the mountain…”
“No, it’s a big dog.”
The silver wolf was speechless.
“Fine… There was a big dog living in the mountain…”
***
The moonlight was clear and cold.
It enveloped the whole mountain, poured, falling upon the little girl’s fair and soft skin.
The silver wolf finally stopped the story. It lowered its eyes, looking at the little girl’s teary eyes. It then stretched out its tongue gently and wiped her tears.
“Little human girl is troublesome…”
The silver wolf sighed lightly and pulled the little girl into its arms, warming her with its embrace, afraid that the wind would make her catch a cold…
This night, the silver wolf could not sleep well.
The little girl kept rolling here and there and almost rolled off to the ground, so it could only watch the little girl unblinkingly.
Fortunately, the day came quickly. Soon, dawn came, and the sunlight slowly lit up the whole mountain…
***
A few days had passed, the little girl followed the silver wolf, eating and drinking well, and even sleeping was very comfortable.
However, she did not know that people were frantically searching for her out there.
At the foot of the mountain, Feng Ruqing rushed forward, panicking. She looked at Fu Chen and Nan Xian, asking anxiously, “Have you found Xia Xia?”
A few days ago, Fu Chen followed the Mo sister to this mountain, but he had lost their tracks.
Nan Xian and Feng Ruqing chased after them, but this place was so huge and dark, it was not easy to find them.
However…
This was not the way to Nine Gate…
Perhaps, those people were afraid of exposing Nine Gate, so they went here to trick Fu Chen…
There was no road at the end of the valley, and they had to go down the mountain if they wanted to go to Nine Gate.
Fu Chen pursed his lips. “We found two dead bodies on the mountain, but Little Sister is not there.”
‘Dead bodies?’
Feng Ruqing was stunned. “The two people who took Xia Xia away are dead?”
“Yes, dead… They seemed to have been bitten by a spirit beast. I guess… Little Sister has been taken away by a spirit beast.”
Feng Ruqing suddenly felt weak and almost stumbled to the ground. Her face was pale as she said, “Since they are dead, there’s no use to look around here. I will go with you to search in the mountains. I must find her!”
Fu Chen lowered his eyes and did not speak.
He tried to search with his spiritual power but still could not find his little sister. He did not know where she was taken to…
Or perhaps, when the spirit beast fought with those two, she snuck away?
Feng Ruqing did not say anymore and rushed up to the mountain with Nan Xian behind her.
