Chapter 166 Kicking Xia Wenwen to Feed the Wolves

Xia Wenwen collapsed to the ground, watching the wolf king's affectionate behavior towards Xia Qianqian. Her mind went blank for a moment before she belatedly realized that Xia Qianqian had summoned the wolf king!

"It was you...you summoned it?!" She pointed at Xia Qianqian, her voice distorted with fear and anger.

"Xia Qianqian! You still dare to say you don't have a paradise?! This wolf king is clearly your pet!"

Upon hearing the words "Peach Blossom Spring," the wolf king's ears perked up warily, and it turned to glare fiercely at Xia Wenwen, baring its snow-white fangs.

Just as it was about to retaliate, the nauseating stench entered its nostrils again, and it immediately gagged with a "whoosh," pawing the ground twice with its front paws as if trying to bury the smell, its eyes almost overflowing with contempt.

Being trampled underfoot by Xia Qianqian was bad enough, but now even a beast dares to humiliate her like this!

Xia Wenwen felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest, and her vision blurred. The double humiliation felt like two mountains pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. She couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

At this moment, the firewood on the ground had been ignited by sparks, the flames crackled, and thick smoke began to fill the cave.

Xia Qianqian's eyes sharpened, she flicked her finger in the air and shouted, "Zhang San, come out!"

A dark figure appeared out of thin air. Zhang San moved swiftly and quickly untied the ropes binding Xia Qianqian.

"Let's go!" Xia Qianqian didn't even glance at Xia Wenwen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and patted the wolf king's head. "Little Black, let's go!"

The wolf king responded with a howl, affectionately nuzzled her palm, then turned around, its massive body deftly dodging the flames, protecting Xia Qianqian as they walked towards the cave entrance.

As for whether Xia Wenwen is alive or dead, she doesn't care. Not kicking her when she's down is already the greatest kindness she can show.

If it weren't for wanting to bring good fortune to the child in her womb, Xia Qianqian would have loved to let the wolf king bite this menace to death.

Xia Qianqian steadied herself against the rock wall and slowly walked out of the cave.

By the moonlight, she surveyed her surroundings and discovered that she was in an abandoned mining valley deep in the back mountains, overgrown with weeds and filled with jagged rocks, a place that ordinary hunters would not easily approach.

"Qin Yan and the others certainly know how to pick a spot." She muttered under her breath, then caught a glimpse of the wolf king crouching warily at her feet, its eerie green eyes scanning the surroundings, a low growl emanating from its throat.

The mountains are teeming with wild animals, and this mining valley is a den of wolves. Xia Qianqian dared not let the wolf king leave, so she instructed Zhang San, "Go find Lu Zheng and bring him here."

Zhang San accepted the order and left. Just a few minutes later, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the distance, accompanied by chaotic footsteps and shouts.

"Qianqian! Qianqian, where are you?!"

It's Lu Zheng's voice!

Xia Qianqian felt relieved and was about to respond when she saw a figure stumble out of the flames—it was Lu Zheng!

His clothes were torn in several places by tree branches, and his face was covered in soot and sweat. The moment he saw Xia Qianqian, his usually calm black eyes suddenly turned red, and he staggered over, crying out, "Qianqian!"

"I'm here." Xia Qianqian went to greet him, and as soon as she stood still, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

Lu Zheng's arm was so tight it felt like her bones were about to break. Her voice was choked with sobs, and her body was still trembling slightly: "Do you know how scared I was? I thought I would never see you again..."

His scalding tears fell onto the nape of her neck, burning with heat.

Xia Qianqian looked up at his bloodshot eyes, felt a pang of heartache, and reached out to hug his neck, gently patting his back: "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Have you forgotten? With Peach Blossom Spring at my disposal, who can harm me?"

"Who exactly is it?" Lu Zheng's voice was like ice. Even after confirming that Xia Qianqian was unharmed, the bloodshot in his eyes did not fade in the slightest. Anyone who dared to touch Lu Zheng's woman had to be prepared to bear the wrath of thunder!

Xia Qianqian looked up into his fiery eyes and gently smoothed his furrowed brows with her fingertips: "It's Qin Yan and Xia Wenwen. They guessed what happened in Peach Blossom Spring and wanted to trap me in the cave to steal the space."

"court death!"

The air around Lu Zheng instantly froze into ice crystals, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

He let the couple go several times, but they were so foolish as to dare to set their sights on Qianqian!

"Qianqian, come home with me first." He forcibly suppressed the urge to rush back to the cave, his voice as deep as the sea before a storm. "I'll handle the rest."

Xia Qianqian shook her head and grabbed his wrist: "Xia Wenwen is still in the cave. Whether she survives or not depends entirely on her own fate."

She paused, her tone as cold as ice, "It's not worth dirtying your hands for someone like that."

"As for Qin Yan..." She looked up towards the village, a cold smile curving her lips in the moonlight, "Let's go back to the village first. His retribution is probably not far off."

Lu Zheng saw the knowing look in her eyes and a thought struck him. Since Qianqian said that, she had probably already set up a plan.

He gripped her hand tightly, temporarily suppressing all his murderous intent: "Okay, whatever you say."

He would never let Qin Yan and Xia Wenwen get away with it!

The two helped each other down the mountain. At the same time, Qin Yan was scrambling back to Xiangyang Village, covered in mud.

By this time, the disappearance of Xia Qianqian and Xia Wenwen had already alarmed the entire Xiangyang Village, and the villagers were all helping to search for them.

"Qin Yan! You're finally back!" Mr. Xia spotted Qin Yan immediately and rushed forward, grabbing his arm and asking, "Where's Wenwen? Have you seen Wenwen?"

Qin Yan, panting heavily and pale-faced, pointed to the back mountain: "We...we went out for a walk last night and were attacked by a pack of wolves! Wenwen told me to come back and report to them for help!"

Upon hearing this, the production team leader, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, changed his expression drastically.

The production team leader immediately grabbed the hunting rifle from the wall, his face grave. If a wolf attack really occurred, it would be no small matter!

"Grab your weapons! Follow me into the mountains to rescue people!" At the production team leader's command, the villagers went home, grabbed carrying poles and hoes, and rushed out of the village in a large group.

Qin Yan mingled in the crowd, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. That idiot Xia Wenwen was probably torn to shreds by the Wolf King by now.

When we go into the mountains later, all he needs to do is pretend to be heartbroken. Who would suspect that he kicked his fiancée to the wolf in order to save his own life?

The villagers trudged into the mountains, their steps uneven. Just as they rounded a ridge, they suddenly bumped into two figures on the mountain path ahead. Who else could it be but Lu Zheng and Xia Qianqian?

Qin Yan's heart suddenly clenched, and his eyelids twitched wildly. Xia Qianqian was still alive?!

Under the moonlight, Xia Qianqian nestled in Lu Zheng's arms, her face pale but unharmed. Lu Zheng held Xia Qianqian tightly behind him, his eyes fixed on Qin Yan in the crowd.

"Qianqian is alright!" a sharp-eyed villager exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Yan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

Xia Qianqian is not dead!
