I'm terrified that it might turn into a tragedy!

After all, they genuinely liked this little girl!

After they returned, the little wolf cub caused another sensation!

"My God, is this a wolf cub?"

"Why does it look like a dog? It's not imposing or domineering at all."

"This wolf is pure white! I've never seen a pure white wolf before. They're usually gray or black!"

"Miss Lin is so lucky, she found a rare species right away!"

"Yes, I think this little wolf is extremely attached to you!"

"Take good care of it. Although it's said that wild animals are hard to tame, no one really trains it from a young age!"

Some people are quite worried!

"Miss Lin, are you sure its parents are both dead?"

"Never let your momentary good intentions or fondness cause everyone to suffer and be miserable because of you!"

"After a day or two, you'll just pack up and leave!"

"But it is we who will have already taken our revenge!"

"Yes, they say ungrateful wretches! You can imagine how impossible it is to tame such a thing!"

The people of Shili Village don't have this worry!

Because now, in their eyes, Lin Ru has her own reasons for everything she does, and everything she does is right!

We've reached the point of blind trust!

The three Lin brothers ran over, all very curious and wanting to touch Xiaoyue!

Just as Xiaoyue was about to bare his teeth at the three brothers, Lin Ru patted his head!

"Xiaoyue! Behave yourself, these are my brothers, they mean you no harm!"

Xiaoyue immediately shut her mouth and obediently stretched her head over!

Lin Qingnian was young but also the bravest. He was the first to reach out and touch the furry head!

"I actually petted the wolf cub! Eldest sister! It's so well-behaved!"

"Can it really understand what we're saying?"

"Is it male or female?"

Lin Mo: "Elder sister! Is Xiaoyue its name?"

"It actually sounds pretty good!"

Lin Bai: "It's so clean! Its fur is snow-white! Much cleaner than the clothes we wear!"

Seeing her sons' delighted expressions, Bai mustered up her courage and went forward to touch them a couple of times!

She felt the soft touch beneath her hands, and her heart melted!

"Ru'er! Is this really a little wolf? It's so cute!"

"If its parents are really dead, then we'll keep it!"

"We're not short of food!"

"If you want to raise it, then raise it. Why think so much?"

"If you say that a wolf raised to adulthood will bite its master, then even children raised to adulthood might be unfilial!"

Lin Ru smiled and stroked Xiao Yue's fluffy head!

"Xiaoyue! Look, my family all likes you very much!"

"When you grow up, you must protect them!"

"Let's prove them wrong!"

Xiaoyue let out a howl in response!

In fact, Lin Ru could understand these people's concerns. If Xiao Yue hadn't been her contracted beast, but had been found in the mountains and forests, even if it was small and its parents were all dead and posed no threat to her, she wouldn't have kept it!

She didn't want to waste her energy on such trivial things!

But now it is the only one in the world that will never betray her!

Therefore, she must raise it! And she must raise it openly and legitimately!

I know you're all worried!

"I guarantee no wolves will follow the scent to find Xiaoyue!"

"And as long as outsiders don't provoke it, it won't bite!"

"If you are still worried, I can leave with the villagers right now!"

Zhang Tiedan stood in front of Lin Ru, knife in hand!

"I'll see today!"

"Who exactly wants to drive away my savior?"

"You grown men can't even tolerate a wolf cub!"

"If a pack of wolves really comes looking for me, then let them test just how sharp my knife really is!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

"We, a hundred or so grown men, can't even handle a few wolves. Look at you guys!"

"If you're really that cowardly, you should hurry down the mountain. Why are you being a bandit up here?"

"Killing a person is much harder than killing a wolf!"

"Anyone like you is only good enough to kill a chicken!"

Those who had objected immediately fell silent!

Zhang Tiedan was furious when he saw their sudden timid and submissive manner!

"Go ahead and keep talking!"

"Why do you all stop arguing when I stand up for myself?"

“You all have mouths all over your bodies when my savior speaks!”

"That gossipy woman at the village entrance!"

"What? You're bullying a weak woman like her because she has no one to back her up?"

"You think I'm better than you, so you're afraid to speak?"

"A bunch of cowards!"

"What use are you to us?"

Those people lowered their heads after being talked to. It was indeed because the person in front of them was a young girl. No matter what the girl said, they always wanted to refute her in order to prove their own superiority!

But when you meet someone who is truly better than you, you don't dare to say those things!

"Report! A convoy has entered our territory!"

Someone ran in from outside!

Zhang Tiedan excitedly stepped forward!

How many people were in that convoy?

"Does he look rich?"

"If they are refugees, let them pass!"

The man smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry!"

“If they were refugees, I would never have come up to report this!”

"We all come from poor backgrounds! We would never do such a wicked thing!"

"The convoy below has about a hundred people!"

"It looked like a woman, leading these people to escape with a child!"

"Perfect timing to rest on our turf!"

"And I saw that they had dozens of carriages, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry, grain, or cloth! They were all good stuff!"

"They look incredibly wealthy!"

"Moreover, we brothers know some of the leaders among the men they're chasing!"

"He's the steward of the county magistrate of Kangqu County, the richest county in the area. Apart from being cowardly and lecherous, this magistrate has no other faults!"

Lin Ru immediately recognized the owner of the caravan upon hearing the name of the Kangqu County Magistrate!

But didn't Yuan Fangqin flee towards Kyoto? How come she's here now!

Could something have happened in Kyoto?

Or perhaps you met someone on the road?

It's quite a twist of fate that we've run into each other here!

However, after so much time, it's uncertain whether Yuan Fangqin is still alive; the woman leading the group might just be a smokescreen!

The people behind her exchanged glances!

They immediately understood that they should not tell anyone about their trip to Kangqu County for the time being!

Everyone listened tacitly as the people from the mountain stronghold continued their conversation!

"It's his son, and that mistress who manages the household, they're quite vicious!"

"He's done a lot of bad things!"

"It's his son. If he doesn't like someone or has a conflict with someone, he'll tell them as soon as he gets home!"
