Chapter 80 The Black and White Wolves "No, they're dogs!"...

When Liang Jun woke up, she was lying on the ground.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, only that it was now late and the gibbous moon had long since turned into a full moon, reflecting the shimmering Milky Way in the night sky.

She was captivated by the rare night view of the city, and for a moment, she ignored the warmth pressed against her.

The fur that clung tightly to her skin suddenly trembled, startling Liang Jun back to her senses.

She should have noticed it sooner.

If it weren't for the objects around her, she wouldn't have had the leisure to appreciate the starry sky; instead, she would have been trying everything to keep warm in the mountain night.

Liang Jun quickly got up from the ground and distanced herself from the two enormous creatures beside her.

Despite the poor visibility at night, she was still able to identify the other person's very distinctive features—

These are two wolves.

Wolves are common in the wilderness. But the size of these two wolves in front of her far exceeded Liang Xun's understanding.

They were lying on the ground with their limbs outwards, appearing harmless to the naked eye. However, Liang Jun roughly estimated in her mind that if they were in a normal state, the two wolves would be up to her chest!

Their fur color is also very distinctive.

The one on the left has jet-black fur that gleams in the moonlight, but has a streak of silver-white fur between its brows; the one on the right has snow-white fur that shimmers in the night, but has a streak of jet-black fur between its brows.

This color scheme...

Why does it look so familiar?

Liang Xun, who had initially intended to flee, slowly withdrew her steps. Amidst the tranquil mountain scenery, she tiptoed slowly towards the white wolf.

She slowly touched the fine downy hairs at the very tip of its back with her palm. The outer layer of sharp hairs was as prickly as pine needles, making it look exactly like a hedgehog.

Liang Jun hadn't expected that this seemingly soft fur would be so prickly. How had she managed to wake up so comfortably?

She bared her teeth, about to pull her hand away and leave, when the white wolf suddenly moved a few inches toward her hand.

Before Liang Jun could retract her hand, it touched the inner layer of wolf fur.

Warm, delicate, and soft.

It's a completely different experience from the outer layer of hair.

"How is it? Does it feel good?"

When his subordinate White Wolf suddenly spoke in a human voice, Liang Xuan didn't care about anything else and reflexively retreated.

When her brain finally processed it, she suddenly realized that the voice sounded familiar.

Almost instantly, all the unease in her heart vanished.

"Zhu Bieming?"

She was both amused and exasperated. "What are you doing here?"

"I didn't expect you to recognize me!"

Zhu Bieming rolled over on the ground and got up steadily.

The moisture on the ground had long since disappeared. Zhu Bieming shook his fur again, his snow-white fur remaining spotless.

Looking at the white wolf standing on all fours in front of her, Liang Jun suddenly realized that she had been overestimating the situation.

She even had to look up slightly to meet those light blue wolf eyes. Liang Xun only needed to lower her head slightly to completely hide in the safe area under the white wolf's belly.

What kind of monster is this...?

Her lips twitched, and she turned her gaze to the black wolf that was getting up.

"Then this is... Zhu Shengqing?"

Black Wolf didn't have as many flamboyant movements as White Wolf. Zhu Shengqing simply stood in front of Liang Xun, his forelegs slightly bent, and nodded slightly.

"Long time no see, Liang Yan."

It's been a really long time since we last met.

Recalling the near-fatal car accident that occurred right after the first instance ended, Liang Xun's tone became anxious.

"How are you feeling now? Has your spiritual energy recovered?"

Seeing the other party's anxious appearance, a glint of light flashed in Zhu Shengqing's golden eyes in the darkness.

Zhu Bieming's emotions flowed more freely. He lowered his head and nuzzled Liang Xun's neck, "Oh, don't worry. If you don't recover well, you won't be able to see us!"

A warm sensation spread across her neck. Suddenly surrounded by two large, adorable creatures, Liang Jun felt a little flustered.

She smiled helplessly and pushed Zhu Bieming's large white head away. "I'm serious. You guys should move a little further away from me. Right now, it's like two high walls are standing in front of me, and I can't see anything at all."

Even in wolf form, Liang Xun could still see a hint of grievance in her light blue eyes.

Zhu Shengqing didn't say much, just nodded repeatedly, and reluctantly took two steps back with Zhu Bieming.

Moonlight poured down.

Liang Xun's vision improved slightly, and apart from the two giant wolves still standing in front of her and staring at her, she did not find any other players in this area.

"Where are the others?"

Perhaps only the two of them knew the details, Liang Jun then asked, "Where are my teammates? Where did they all go?"

"It's under the dilapidated pavilion not far away."

It was Zhu Shengqing who spoke, “When we arrived at the scene, you were all lying unconscious on the ground; we tried to wake you up, but you were all unresponsive. So, Bie Ming and I could only move you to a safer place.”

Zhu Bieming whispered, "There are good and bad people in that group. I wasn't comfortable with them, so I had my brother bring you over alone."

Liang Xun didn't pay much attention to the first half of the sentence, but the second half...

Damn?!

"You mean, we were all carried here by the two of you?"

Liang Jun was somewhat unable to accept it for a moment.

She had seen cats carrying kittens online and dogs carrying kittens in real life, but now...

Zhu Bieming didn't think much of it; he moved his large paws a couple of times.

"Like this—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wolf head appeared before him.

The warm breath, typical of large animals, pressed nakedly against the back of Liang Xun's neck. The thin fabric of her clothing offered no protection; its barely perceptible presence only added a touch of taboo to the scene.

Zhu Bieming's sharp wolf fangs gently grazed Liang Jun's most tender skin. After adjusting to the best angle, he carefully closed his teeth and thus took Liang Jun's slender neck into his mouth.

There was no pain or discomfort.

Instead, it felt like a seasoned traditional Chinese medicine doctor massaging acupoints to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis—Liang Jun felt an unprecedented level of comfort.

Then, his feet left the ground and his whole body lifted off the ground.

After lifting her only about five or six centimeters, Zhu Bieming lowered his head and gently placed Liang Xun back on the ground.

“It’s very simple, very easy.” He shook his fur again, and a few soft hairs drifted down from the air. “Because we didn’t know when you would wake up, and we were worried that you would catch a cold at night, my brother suggested that we surround you to keep you warm, so that it wouldn’t lower your life points.”

"Health points..."

Liang Xuan repeated those three words, as if some information flashed through her mind.

The two brothers had mentioned to her before that it seemed her guardian spirit would only appear by her side when she was on the verge of death.

But in the current situation—

Liang Xun's unease began to rise again. "So, this time, you came because my life was hanging by a thread?"

Everyone was bewildered by the same dense fog of unknown composition. Liang Jun was protected by her guardian spirit, but her teammates had nothing.

Thinking of this, she instinctively wanted to rush towards the dilapidated pavilion.

"It has nothing to do with that."

Zhu Shengqing walked behind Liang Xuan and said calmly, "We are here because tonight is the night of the full moon."

He didn't approach any closer, his golden eyes gently lingering on the neck where Zhu Bieming had just kissed her. "On the night of the full moon, we will transform into wolf form. We can appear at any time, fight at any time, and do nothing that consumes our spiritual power."

"Only for today and tomorrow!" Zhu Bieming wanted to come over and freeload off Liang Yan again.

"Bie Ming."

Zhu Shengqing quietly stopped her.

Even in wolf form, his voice remained as clear as the full moon: "Liang Jun, your teammates are nearby. If you're worried, you can go check on them. We'll follow behind you."

Our reminiscing should end here.

Liang Xun nodded and quickened her pace.

It's called a dilapidated pavilion, but it's not actually that run-down. There's just a layer of dust on the empty benches.

Apart from Qi Zhixia, the other players were neatly arranged on the ground by the two brothers, a task seemingly devised by some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“There’s another girl here.”

Zhu Shengqing gently nudged Liang Xun's back with the hair between his eyebrows, gesturing for her to look at the side of the pavilion. "Her wheelchair would be more convenient, so we just pushed her over with our paws instead of placing her on the pavilion."

Liang Xuan looked at the crowd on the ground, then at Qi Zhixia on one side of the pavilion.

Everyone is still asleep.

"Don't worry, they've just fainted temporarily, there's no danger to their lives."

Zhu Shengqing heard her inner thoughts again, "Although we can't protect everyone except you, we can still smell the scent of the dying—we didn't find any of these on your teammates."

Zhu Bieming had already run into the pavilion. As soon as he entered, the entire pavilion suddenly seemed incredibly small.

In order to wake everyone up as soon as possible and to stop Liang Jun from worrying, Zhu Bieming carefully watched his feet and decided to use his still relatively warm fur to provide some warmth to everyone.

Whether it was the temperature that had an effect, or the sharp, bristly hairs that struck the victims again, many players were turning over between the wolf's legs, seemingly on the verge of waking up.

Liang Xuan was still checking on Qi Zhixia's condition. Zhu Shengqing, who was alone outside the pavilion, saw this scene and his voice became even colder.

"Bie Ming, come out quickly."

If they opened their eyes and saw a giant, snow-white wolf, it would be incredibly stimulating for them.

Just as Zhu Bieming was belatedly preparing to withdraw, Gu Keke, who was closest to his hind legs, opened her eyes first.

Her drowsy gaze shifted instantly. Gu Keke braced herself with her hands on the ground, maintaining her seated position as she backed away, unaware that she had already pinned Luo Chuange's legs down.

"What kind of monster is that?!"

Her scream was more effective than Zhu Bieming's wolf fur.

With a single shout, all the half-conscious players jolted upright and sat up.

This disturbance was quite significant, and naturally it caught Liang Jun's attention.

She hurriedly pushed the wheelchair back to the pavilion and quickly pushed the aggrieved Zhu Bieming out.

“You two go out first, you’ve scared them,” Liang Jun said, turning back to the two brothers.

But as soon as she turned around, she found that the looks on everyone's faces were even more terrified.

Even Qi Zhixia, who was confined to her wheelchair, showed considerable shock, leaning back noticeably as if she was very resistant to Liang Yun.

"What's wrong?"

Liang Jun was also completely confused.

The emotions that flashed across Gu Keke's eyes were all complex.

She hesitated for a moment, still feeling a bit scared, "Sister Jun, you..."

Why can you speak dog language?

Dog language?

Now it was Liang Jun's turn to be shocked—

Where can I find a dog?

Also, I was communicating in Mandarin the whole time, so how could the situation she described have occurred?

But the skeptical looks from everyone who looked at him undoubtedly proved that this was not an isolated case.

Liang Xun's explanation was somewhat weak and unconvincing, "But I was speaking in human language..."

"What you're saying now is..."

Gu Keke smiled wryly, "But we couldn't understand a word you said to those two monsters."

Just as she was at a loss for words, the dark figure attacked again.

“Liang Jun, you can communicate with us without any problems,” Zhu Shengqing lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, “but to outsiders, they will only hear so-called animal language.”

Just as he was about to explain that "they are wolves, not dogs," a loud howl suddenly rang out behind him.

On a cold, moonlit night, a solitary mountaintop echoes with the howling of wolves.

Those hiding in the pavilion involuntarily shrank back. The roar seemed to awaken a fear ingrained in their genes, instantly sending chills down their spines.

Liang Jun was also somewhat surprised. She and Zhu Shengqing exchanged a glance, then turned around together to look behind them.

A snow-white wolf king stood in the open space on the mountaintop, with the bright full moon hanging high above his head, as if giving the wolf king a final crown.

His nearly human-sized silver-white tail swept back and forth between his legs, proclaiming his supreme status to everyone.

The moonlight poured down like a waterfall, generously and without reservation.

The snow-white wolf body intertwines with the pitch-black wolf shadow, majestic and magnificent.

This is Zhu Bieming.

The wolf's howl echoed through the valley until the last note faded away, at which point the white wolf turned around.

Zhu Bieming grinned.

"I am a wolf!"

"No, it's a dog!"
