Chapter 112 - Protection
Chapter 112: Protection
Shuang Yun was already awake.
He didn’t go out early in the morning to hunt as usual today. Instead, he stayed at home and ran to the door every now and then to crane his neck and look out.
“Why aren’t they back yet? Did Sang Ye take the opportunity to abduct Huanhuan?!”
Shuang Yun became even more uneasy at the thought of this possibility.
The wolf cubs didn’t understand what their father was doing. They followed suit and squatted beside him, craning their necks to look out.
Shuang Yun looked for a long time but did not see Huanhuan. He picked up his furry and chubby eldest daughter and sighed sadly. “Baby, your mother doesn’t want us anymore. We’ll have to rely on each other from now on.”
She stuck out her tongue and licked his face.
Shuang Yun was immediately happy. He turned his head. “Baby, hurry! Lick me on my other cheek too!”
Big Goody pounced on him and licked his face.
Shuang Yun smiled especially happily with saliva on his face. “My eldest daughter is so obedient!”
The other three wolf cubs circled his feet, wagging their tails. Their watery green eyes were filled with a desire for a hug.
Unfortunately, Shuang Yun did not even look at them.
The babies were unhappy! Daddy was biased!
When Bai Di passed the door, the three wolf pups ran over and nuzzled his calf, asking for a hug.
As a cat, Bai Di naturally liked cubs.
Although the three cubs in front of him looked a little stupid because they had inherited their dad’s genes, seeing that they were small, soft, and cute, Bai Di couldn’t resist his nature. He reached out and picked them up.
The three wolf cubs were extremely excited when they finally got a hug. They stuck out their hot and wet tongues to lick Bai Di.
Bai Di, who was licked, was speechless.
Forget it. Since they were still young, he would endure it!
Sang Ye finally returned with Huanhuan. Shuang Yun immediately put down his precious daughter and rushed forward. He pulled Huanhuan in front of him and observed her carefully.
If Huanhuan wasn’t hugging her clothes tightly, he would have stripped her on the spot.
Shuang Yun saw that she had quite a few hickeys on her body, even on the back of her feet.
He glared fiercely at Sang Ye. “Beast!”
Sang Ye looked back at him expressionlessly without any intention of repentance.
The skin on Huanhuan’s knee was scraped. Shuang Yun’s heart ached. He quickly knelt on one knee and blew at her knee. “Does it hurt? It must be very painful to have gotten scratched. My poor Huanhuan, you were bullied so badly!”
The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched. “Are you still drunk from last night?”
Shuang Yun looked up, confused. “Was I drunk last night? I don’t remember!”
Huanhuan stroked his wolf head and suggested sincerely, “You should drink less wine in the future.”
Bai Di walked out with the freshly cooked soup. He glanced at Huanhuan and Sang Ye. “You were busy all night. You must be hungry, right? Come and eat.”
As soon as she heard what he said, she immediately understood that he already knew that she and Sang Ye had mated.
She was uneasy.
Although Bai Di had pushed her out last night, she still felt guilty.
Whether it was with Shuang Yun in the beginning or with Sang Ye now, she felt that she owed Bai Di every time.
After breakfast, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye went down the mountain to hunt.
Bai Di stayed at home to take care of Huanhuan and the cubs.
After settling the cubs down, he let Huanhuan lie on the bed. He first helped her apply the pulp of the fragrant and crispy fruits to the wound on her knee, then mixed the golden willow flowers with water and smeared it on the bruises and hickeys.
Huanhuan felt a chill on her skin. She was naked, and she blushed as Bai Di watched her intently.
After applying the medicine, Bai Di helped her get dressed. “You’ll recover faster this way.”
Huanhuan didn’t look at his face. “Yes, thank you.”
Bai Di was meticulous and quickly saw the guilt and uneasiness in her. He stroked her head. “Sang Ye is a good mate candidate. He’ll protect you with Shuang Yun and me in the future. We’re a family, so you don’t have to feel guilty about me.”
He said it with extreme sincerity without any reluctance, which eased the uneasiness in Huanhuan’s heart a little.
Bai Di lowered his head and kissed the ring on her hand. “Since you gave me the master ring,” he said reverently, “I have to live up to your trust.”
Huanhuan was deeply touched.
She tightened her grip on his hand. “I believe in you. I always will.”
Bai Di hugged her and smiled gently.
Love made people selfish and jealous, but love also made people open-minded and strong.
He loved her so much that he was willing to let go of his jealousy and possessiveness. He would transform into a big tree and stand in front of her. He would hold up the world for her, shield her from the wind and rain, and protect her warm home.
…
In the afternoon, there was a commotion outside.
After greeting Bai Di, Huanhuan brought the wolf cubs outside to watch the commotion.
At the door of Mu Ye’s house, Mu Xiang was pointing at Mu Ye’s nose and scolding him, “Are you stupid? This female has evil intentions. Last night, she was even reprimanded by Elder Xue Ling. Even the leader of the fox race abandoned her, but you still want to bring her home?!”
Mu Ye straightened his neck and looked stubborn. “Sister, I really like Yi Wu. I’m willing to take care of her for the rest of my life! Don’t worry about this!”
“How can I not worry? You’re my biological brother. Before Mom died, she specially instructed me to keep an eye on you and not let you get into trouble!”
Mu Ye roared, “I’m already an adult. It’s my right to choose a female to mate with. Even if you’re my sister, you can’t stop me!”
Mu Xiang was panting from anger. If not for the fact that there were many people watching, she would have rushed forward and beaten this bastard brother up!
At this moment, Jiu Yuan, who was beside Mu Xiang, finally spoke.
“Mu Ye, we don’t have any objections to who you want to be your mate, but Patriarch Shuang Yun specially instructed yesterday that you’re not allowed to bring fox beasts into the rock mountain. You can’t disobey the patriarch’s words.”
Mu Ye choked.
He was worried about Yi Wu. After the bonfire party last night, he followed her. When he saw that the leader of the fox tribe was going to kill her, he quickly saved her.
Mu Ye hid Yi Wu in the small stone house to avoid being discovered by the foxes.
The stone house was usually used as a temporary warehouse for the market. It was not secure, so there was a slight gap that they could go in from.
Yi Wu said she was cold and refused to let go of Mu Ye.
Mu Ye was already interested in her. Coupled with the fact that she had taken the initiative to pester him, he couldn’t help but mate with her.
The two of them became mates in a hurry.
