"Ah, my eyes."

"Damn it, why is there a hole here? Oh my god, there are so many thorns in the hole, they pricked my butt."

"Aaaaaah, what the hell is this? Help! I've been hung up like this!"

One scream after another echoed from each courtyard.

The beast lord and his few subordinates who remained in place were greatly surprised. What was going on? There was clearly no one else around, so why was this happening?

They randomly entered a house and saw their orcs bound tightly with ropes and hanging from the eaves. The orc lord was both shocked and furious.

“They dared to ambush us. Once we catch them, kill them all.”

"Master, there's really no one here. It seems like they set this up beforehand," the subordinate reported after checking.

The beast lord was even more surprised.

The tribe's orcs aren't here, yet they're controlling these to attack the enemy. These orcs are incredibly clever! Who knows if they have any other tricks up their sleeves?

Thinking of this, the beast lord felt uneasy, as if nowhere was safe and a hidden weapon could appear at any moment.

"Rescue everyone, gather them together, and then we must retreat immediately!"

In this battle, Shen Miao and his companions didn't send out a single orc, yet they terrified their opponents so much that they ran away in a panic.

When the orcs of the Rhinoceros Mountain tribe arrived, they were majestic and imposing, but they left in a sorry state. Many of the orcs were clearly injured, walking with limps, and some were clutching their bleeding heads, running incredibly fast as if they were being chased by ghosts.

Where Shen Miao and the others were hiding, all the beastmen watched this scene in a daze.

They just left like that? They didn't take anything with them, and they just left?

Before anyone could react, someone shouted, "The orcs of the Rhinoceros Mountain Tribe have run away! Everyone can go home now!" Only then did the orcs realize what was happening, scrambled to their feet, and started running home, glancing at Shen Miao as they did so.

If it weren't for Shen Miao's ingenious method, they wouldn't have been able to get through this so smoothly; at the very least, they would have been looted clean.

Shen Miao smiled at the beastmen who came to make friends, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then walked home with Qing Chen and the cubs.

Their home was in a remote area, and the people from the Xishan tribe couldn't find it. The house was exactly the same as before they left. The children cheered and started running around in the yard.

Shen Miao disassembled the simple mechanism and, seeing Qing Chen staring at her, couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you looking at me like that? Have you suddenly fallen in love with me?"

Qingchen didn't have his usual cold expression. Instead, he looked at her intently and said, "Chen Miao, I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

"I said, your intelligence is beyond my imagination."

Shen Miao's mouth almost stretched to the back of her head, but she still said, "Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Now, Qingchen finally understood that she was deliberately playing a trick on him. He didn't take it to heart and simply said, "Don't waste your intelligence. If you have something to say in the future, you can speak up boldly."

...

The wind howled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Shen Miao suddenly opened her eyes. A thick bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the next second, a thunderbolt struck the courtyard.

For a moment, Shen Miao was completely dazed. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly got up. If she wasn't mistaken, the place where the giant lightning had struck was right where the snow wolf cubs' den was.

Oh no! Shen Miao hadn't even put her shoes on properly and ran outside as fast as she could.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue?"

The pouring rain drowned out all sound, and Shen Miao heard nothing. She ran to the cubs' den, raised her torch, and peered out. To her horror, she saw a little snow wolf lying on the ground, its body charred black.

Sure enough, he was struck.

Worried, Shen Miao quickly bent down to check. The little snow wolf struggled to raise its head, its wet eyes looking at Shen Miao, and it made a whimpering sound, which sounded very pitiful.

Shen Miao was heartbroken and quickly picked up the cub, patted its head, and comforted it, "It's alright, Xiao Xue, don't be afraid."

The little snow wolf rested its head on Shen Miao's shoulder, its body trembling incessantly, presumably due to pain.

After comforting the little snow wolf for a while, Shen Miao began to check its injuries.

The lightning struck with incredible accuracy, almost as if it had been aimed directly at the target. Half of the little snow wolf's body was mangled and bloody, and its fur was singed by the lightning, emitting a foul odor.

Luckily, it didn't hit its head, otherwise the little snow wolf would be a roasted meat wolf now.

Shen Miao stroked the little snow wolf's head and slowly channeled her supernatural power into the little snow wolf's body.

As the supernatural power entered, the little snow wolf stopped trembling, and the charred flesh gradually fell off, with new flesh beginning to grow.

The little snow wolf nestled softly in Shen Miao's arms, its eyes half-closed, purring gently.

Shen Miao chuckled to herself. This little snow wolf was quite carefree. It had just been struck by lightning and was already asleep.

She stayed with the little snow wolf for a while, and after it fell asleep, she put it in a makeshift den made of animal hides, and then went back to her room to rest.

She was exhausted from getting up and fussing in the middle of the night.

That night, the little snow wolf slept soundly.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, it whimpered and woke up from its dream.

Hmm, I feel a little uncomfortable, my body is itchy. It curled up, turned over, and wanted to continue sleeping for a while.

But soon, the little snow wolf realized something was wrong.

Its claws, how come they're so smooth, like the claws of the female beast that's holding it, and so is its body.

The little snow wolf suddenly sprang up, looking in surprise at its own height. It was so tall! And it wasn't on all fours anymore; it was standing on two legs, just like a human!

The little snow wolf was a little surprised.

He turned into a human, his first time, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. He felt completely naked, and in fact, he was indeed naked, because he had never worn clothes when he was a snow wolf.

After the initial excitement and surprise, the little snow wolf gradually calmed down.

Having been a snow wolf for so long, he still prefers being a wolf, because being human is a foreign thing to him.

The little snow wolf finally decided to transform back into its snow wolf form.

It silently chanted in its heart, and soon it transformed back into the shape of a snow wolf. Just as it lay down, footsteps came from outside. The little snow wolf thought to itself, "Luckily I transformed quickly, or I would have been discovered."

It was Shen Miao who entered.

She was worried about the little snow wolf's injuries, so she came over early in the morning to check on it again.

Seeing that the little snow wolf seemed to be sleeping very comfortably, Shen Miao was slightly relieved. She touched the little snow wolf's body. The healing ability was very useful. After a whole night, the little snow wolf did not have a single scar left on its body.

"Get some sleep, you must have had a long night."

After Shen Miao turned and left, the little snow wolf opened its eyes and followed Shen Miao's figure with eager eyes.

It stuck out its tongue and licked its paw, hesitatingly thinking, "This isn't exactly deception, is it? It's just that I wasn't ready. Once I'm ready, I'll definitely tell Shen Miao!"
