Chapter 40: A True White-eyed Wolf!:
Eating magic beast crystals directly?
How fierce! They had never noticed their daughter was this fierce before.
"If I'm not mistaken, the little one has mutated!" Yun Jian continued.
"Mutated? How... how did that happen?" The father wolf squinted his eyes and then suddenly said, "Could it be... it's not my biological child?"
"What do you mean?" The mother wolf immediately raised her paw and slapped his face.
"Uh... just kidding, just kidding!" The father wolf smiled awkwardly.
"So, Brother Wolf, your way of raising it is probably no longer suitable for the little one," Yun Jian said. "But handing it over to the prince and princess! It would receive the best care and have unlimited potential in the future."
"This..." The father and mother wolf were once again swayed.
Thinking about it, it wasn't a bad idea!
Most importantly, their child had chosen to leave them!
"Think about it, wouldn't it be better for your daughter to stand with the prince and princess rather than live as a wild beast in the wilderness with you?" Yun Jian continued.
"What wild beast? We are noble Ice Phantasmal Wolves! Kings of this area!" The father wolf immediately retorted.
Yun Jian smiled, "Yes, yes! Kings of this area, but wouldn't being friends with the prince and princess be even better? The prince will be the ruler of the empire in the future!"
"But... I can't bear to part with it!" The mother wolf said softly. Despite everything, she couldn't bear it!
"How about this, I'll make sure they bring the little one to visit you regularly. Would that be okay?" Yun Jian suggested.
The father and mother wolf thought it might work.
"Alright, let's give it another chance to choose. If it chooses us, we won't give it up no matter what!" The father wolf declared.
"Deal!" Yun Jian nodded.
He then called Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi over and placed the little one in the middle.
On one side stood Jiang Ruoxi and Ling Kong, and on the other side were the father and mother wolf. They waited to see whom the little one would choose.
The little wolf cub stood there, looked at Jiang Ruoxi and Ling Kong, then turned to look at its parents. Finally, it ran toward Jiang Ruoxi again.
"Howl, howl..." It whined softly, cuddling up to Jiang Ruoxi. She quickly picked it up.
The father and mother wolf were instantly disappointed. This little one really preferred the humans!
Sighing, they accepted that they couldn't do anything if their child had made its choice.
"Now, can you make a decision?" Yun Jian spread his hands.
"Sigh!" The father and mother wolf shook their heads helplessly. "Alright, since it likes you more, let it live with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi's face lit up with joy. She quickly assured the father and mother wolf, "Don't worry, I will protect it with my life!"
First, it was the first gift Ling Kong had given her, precious and meaningful.
Second, it was their child; since they entrusted it to her, she would do her best to take care of it. Plus, she already liked it very much!
"Just make sure to bring it back to visit us often," The father and mother wolf nodded lightly.
"Thank you, Brother Wolf!" Yun Jian clasped his hands in thanks. "We'll take our leave now."
"Go, go!" The father wolf waved his head.
Without further ado, Yun Jian quickly led Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi away. If they lingered, the wolf couple might change their minds.
The father and mother wolf stood there, watching their child leave with Jiang Ruoxi. They felt a pang of sadness, but they had to let go.
"Spit! White-eyed wolf! We really raised a genuine white-eyed wolf!" The father wolf exclaimed.
Who could believe it?
So young and it had already abandoned them?
A true white-eyed wolf!
"Hope its life will be as smooth as I imagine." The mother wolf sighed.
"How about we have a few more?" The father wolf changed the topic.
"Get lost! Just thinking about your dog-like posture makes me sick!" The mother wolf shouted.
"What dog posture? I'm a wolf! A noble Ice Phantasmal Wolf!" The father wolf began coaxing his wife...
...
Ling Kong and the others returned to the Sword Cloud Sect.
"This is all I can help with. You saw what the cub's parents were like!" Yun Jian exhaled. "You must treat it well and visit its parents regularly!"
Otherwise, if those two got angry, they could destroy the entire valley. The Beast Valley was a significant asset to the Sword Cloud Sect. Losing it would be a tremendous loss!
The valley was the Sword Cloud Sect's magic beast breeding ground!
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Ling Kong expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me, just remember my kindness in the future!" Yun Jian joked.
Ling Kong was the future ruler of the empire.
The development of the Sword Cloud Sect would depend on Ling Kong to some extent. Building a good relationship in advance was beneficial!
