Hua Shi blinked and tightened her grip on her palm.

"cough……"

Looks a little familiar.

It seemed to be the little wolf cub she rescued when she and Hua Yu went into the mountains to close the net last time...

“Wow…?”

The little wolf cub put its furry head close to her feet, made a milky sound, and sniffed gently, as if it was smelling something.

Hua Shi had nowhere to retreat. All she could hear was the sound of raindrops hitting the branches, and in front of her was a pack of wolves that surrounded her.

She couldn't see how many wolves were outside the rock, but she knew that if they had attacked her, she would probably be dead by now...

“Woo…”

Seeing that she did not resist, the little wolf cub moved closer to her, and the cry was soft, and it did not stop until it rested its furry head on her legs.

Hua Shi clearly felt the soft touch on her legs, and the soft hair of the hood gently brushed her calves.

“Ooooo…?”

The little wolf cub opened his round eyes, tilted his head, and looked at her without blinking, as if observing the expression on her face.

Hua Shi looked up at the big white wolf blocking the cave entrance, then looked down at the little wolf cub lying on her calf.

The big white wolf looked at her with some caution, but had no intention of attacking her.

The little wolf cub seemed to reveal his closeness to her in both his actions and eyes.

“Ouch…”

It rested one paw on her calf and rubbed its head against her resting arm, like a kitten asking for a pet.

Hua Shi knew she was being targeted by the wolves again, but they didn't attack her. This was largely due to the spring in her palm...

She now had every reason to suspect whether the spring in her palm had a scent that she could not smell or perceive.

Time and again, the beasts in the mountains intercepted her, but they had no intention of attacking her. The first thing they did when they came close was to smell her palm...

When she met the group of mountain elves just now, she had some sense of it. Because she was a little cautious, she did not release the spring water in the palm of her hand for them to drink.

She was worried that the mountain spirits would be dissatisfied after drinking the spring water and would covet it, so they would not let her go and would want to take her away...

So when she realized what was happening, her first reaction was to slip away quickly.

The origin of this spring was unknown, and after knowing how attractive it was to animals, she would not easily reveal it to the public...

At this time, the little wolf cub had rubbed its head against her calf, and the paw that reached over was eager to touch her hand.

He seemed very curious about her palm...

Hua Shi suddenly moved, stretched out his hand and tentatively touched its head.

The little wolf cub suddenly became obedient, squatting on the spot and looking at her with squinted eyes.

“Ouch…”

It makes a comfortable sound, just like a lazy cat.

Hua Shi raised her eyes and looked at the big white wolf who had been staring at her.

The big white wolf was staring at her with its dark green eyes. Although it did not come forward, its eyes were still sharp and it had a wolf-like arrogance.

When he looked at her, there seemed to be a look of vigilance in his eyes.

The wolves surrounding them were only standing in twos and threes scattered on the side, and did not move forward.

Hua Shixin paused, and his thoughts raced in his mind.

Suddenly, the big white wolf moved, turned around, took two steps, and disappeared from her sight.

Two stones blocked her view. She followed the line of sight and saw that the wolves also shifted their gaze to the edge of the two stones she was leaning against.

Hua Shishun paused in stroking the wolf's fur, feeling somewhat uneasy, when the big white wolf suddenly came back with a bloody dead roe deer in its mouth.

The roe deer's neck was bitten off, and bright red blood, mixed with rainwater, dripped onto the muddy ground...

“Pah….”

The big white wolf threw the bloody dead roe deer at her feet, raised its head, looked down at her, and let out a low cry, "Awoo!"

“Ouch—!”

“Ouch!——”

The dozen or so wolves surrounding the big white wolf also howled after the big white wolf howled.

For a moment, the empty forest was filled with the howling of wolves...

Hua Shi immediately understood what the big white wolf meant.

It seemed to be thanking her...

Because she saved the little wolf cub last time, this dead roe deer was given to her as a thank you gift.

“Ouch…”

The little wolf cub beside her legs also rubbed her hand and barked happily at her twice, as if to signal her to accept it...

"Thank you, thank you."

Hua Shi walked over slowly, took the dead roe deer at his feet, and moved one hand to his side to indicate that he accepted it.

“Ah…”

The big white wolf raised its head and howled loudly. Its majestic and sharp eyes slowly moved downwards, staring at her...

Although it cannot speak, Hua Shi seems to understand the look in its eyes.

The way it looked at her was sincere. Although it was full of wildness and majesty, it was not aggressive...

This is the wolf's thanksgiving.
