Chapter 221: A heated battle in the middle of the night Part3
Seeing that their pack member was casually killed off just like that, the other bristle wolves lunged towards little blue simultaneously.
In their eyes, this small beast was the only one guarding the weak humans, so they attacked him first.
Tang Yue didn’t think that the little guy was strong enough to deal with all the five bristle wolves at the same time.
So she flicked her sword and used her newly learned attack wind slash to send waves of sword aura towards four of the five bristle wolves.
PENG. PENG. PENG. PENG.
The four wolves dropped dead in an instant without even realizing what had hit them.
And Little Blue now only had the single guy to deal with.
Both the wolves sparred with each other a few seconds before Little Blue finally ended the fight by digging his claws into the other one’s eyes.
The wolf howled in pain and the next instant, its throat was punctured by the vicious little guy.
Tang Yue was slightly uncomfortable seeing the cute thing, which was always running around her legs, fully covered in blood like this.
But what could she do? This was his natural form and instinct!
Nevertheless, she picked up the little guy affectionately and gave him a quick clean-up, removing all the bloodstains from his shiny silver-white fur.
“Good job. Good job.” She encouraged him with a smile.
By the time the mess was cleared up, it was already late night and so everyone decided to turn in and take a rest since they had a long day ahead of them tomorrow.
Charlotte placed a barrier rune at the entrance of the cave so that they wouldn’t be disturbed by any pesky common-grade beasts again.
Her high-grade barrier runes also had the strength to block up Saint-realm attacks, so it was safe enough for everyone to get a good night’s rest without worrying too much about safety.
“Are you scared, kid?” Tang Yue asked.
She knew that the young boy was watching the wolf cub fight with the other wolves and was worried for him.
“No, big sis. Little Blue saved us from the wolves. I am not at all afraid of him.” He cutely replied.
But he looked like he had something more to say and was hesitant to go on further.
“What happened?” Tang Yue asked.
Charlotte also curiously looked.
The little kid fidgeted with his fingers and looked very embarrassed.
“That… That…” He stammered and hesitated.
“Can I hug big sis and sleep in the night? It’s very cold.”
Tang Yue chuckled. How cute!
“Of course.” She said. She immediately opened her arms wide and bundled up the cute kid in an embrace.
And the ‘kid’ as well shamelessly hugged her tightly.
When everyone finally settled down for the night, the sleeping arrangement was rather very weird.
Little Blue was sleeping at the corner of the cave near the entrance, voluntarily taking the role of a security guard.
Tang Yue was sleeping in the middle, with Charlotte on one side and the little kid on the other side.
She was lying on her back staring up at the empty stone ceiling and engrossed in her thoughts.
The little kid clung to her tightly with his one arm around her waist and his body glued stuck on her.
He had a very happy, content, and even a sort of intoxicated look on his face.
Charlotte couldn’t help but notice how he was unnaturally happy to be hugging Tang Yue.
However, she didn’t realize how weird she herself was being.
Normally, one wouldn’t even notice these small insignificant details, but Charlotte somehow seemed to be affected by these little actions.
In a short while, all three had fallen asleep in the cool and cozy atmosphere of the cave.
Tang Yue and Charlotte were still slightly drained and tired from the trip to the labyrinth. So they had dozed off pretty quickly.
Xander, however, also had unexpectedly fallen asleep, thanks to the warm and comfy hug from his snake.
Little Blue was the only one lazily swishing its tail and looking over at the cave entrance with its one eye open.
But suddenly the small beast cub turned around and looked towards the interior of the cave.
Something very strange was happening inside at the moment…
Even though Tang Yue had started sleeping with only one set of arms hugging her, somehow in the middle of the night, both Charlotte and the little kid ended up hugging her.
She was completely sandwiched in between the two, each hugging her as tightly as they possibly could.
And weirdly, the two arms on her waist kept swatting each other repeatedly.
First, the little boy would lift his head a little and remove Charlotte’s hand from Tang Yue’s waist and toss it on the ground.
Then, a couple of breaths later, Charlotte would again subconsciously hug the woman next to her nicely and tightly.
Xander was furious! This woman was ruining his happy place!
Her hand was like a spring that just kept on popping back as soon as he pushed it away. What a nuisance!
This heated battle went on for a while and Xander eventually fell asleep again from sheer frustration.
When Tang Yue stirred awake in the wee hours of the morning, she felt extremely suffocated and uneasy with these two next to her hugging her with a death grip, almost even climbing on top of her.
She couldn’t take it any longer and quickly morphed into her serpentine form and slithered out from in between the handsy duo.
The two surprisingly didn’t feel her slip away and continued hugging each other, thinking that it was Tang Yue they were hugging.
Tang Yue chuckled at the adorable sight. What a sweet pair of cuddly huggers! Since she was always alone, she felt all of these small things extremely amusing.
She then crushed another crystal and redid her disguise, before heading out and practicing her sword moves again.
The morning cool and crisp air felt extremely refreshing and calm on her mind and soul.
So she continued practicing for a while until a sudden loud and shrill cry echoed from inside.
Tang Yue only chuckled in amusement. She could guess what had happened.
The two had woken up and were probably surprised to be hugging each other.
She chuckled and peeked in, only to see an even more comical scene than what she had imagined.
“She is molesting me!”
The little kid shouted with a terrified look on his face, pointing his shaky finger towards Charlotte.
Charlotte looked extremely aggrieved from this unfair accusation. She simply scoffed and got out of there wordlessly.
