The wolf king had a strange chest; his heart was beating faster than when he was hunting or fighting.

"It's alright, you guys go and rest."

The wolves then retreated back to their territory.

The puppy whispered, "Big brother, is this name nice?"

The wolf king gave a perfunctory "hmm".

The puppy then said, "How about you be called that?"

"When I'm a bit stronger, I'll be able to call you by your name."

The wolf king was puzzled as to why it had to wait until it was strong enough to bark.

Before he could ask, Little Lampwick, perhaps knowing the Wolf King wouldn't, said, "When I get stronger, I want to marry you, hehe."

They nestled under the wolf king's belly, acting cute and rolling around.

The wolf king treated him like a teenager, joking around without taking his words to heart. He had no plans for a partner, let alone a male puppy.

The varieties are all wrong.

"Boss, how about a name? If not, I'll think of another one for you."

"Should we call it Jiangshui, Jianghe, Jianghai, Jianghu?"

Everyone was resting, except for the puppy, which was whimpering softly, but it was disturbing the wolf king. If the wolf king didn't get enough rest, he might run out of energy during the hunt and something bad could happen to him.

"Jiang Han, go to sleep."

The puppy was satisfied, hugged the wolf king, closed its eyes, and went to sleep, no longer uttering a word.

A female wolf came chasing from behind.

Wolves have a strong sense of territory. If a female wolf has just given birth, she may be killed by the pack. If she is without a mate, she may successfully join a new pack.

But it won't be that smooth.

This wolf was a stranger to Little Lampwick.

The wolf pack showed no sign of becoming agitated or trying to drive them away.

Including the wolf king.

Nan Yu was curious, but also a little unhappy. Just two days ago, a lone wolf wanted to join, but Jiang Han chased it away. How come this one, which looks like a female, didn't make a sound?

His eyes remained fixed on the female wolf.

After a week of rest, its leg injury healed, it was eating its fill of meat, and its size was growing. It licked its fur, came to Jiang Han's side, and nudged him with its head.

Jiang Han looked away and glanced at the puppy beside him.

"What's wrong?"

Nan Yu snorted and extended her left forepaw to Jiang Han's mouth: "Lick my fur."

Jiang Han: "..."

The puppy's sixth sense told him that danger was imminent and he was very unhappy. Wasn't Jiang Han supposed to be a lone wolf?

Why is this strange female not only allowed to stay, but also stared at her? Now that I'm asked to lick her fur, she won't even move!

"Jiang Han!"

The puppy is angry.

This was the first time Jiang Han had formally heard him call out the name he had given her.

Nan Yu stepped forward to lick the puppy's fur, but she got angry, took a step back, and refused to let him lick it, licking it herself instead!

Jiang Han didn't know what was wrong with the little thing, so he stood silently and guarded around it to prevent any beasts from attacking.

The wick is really angry now!

Does that mean they can't come if they're told not to?

Is it just standing there like a stick?

His voice became nasal from all the anger.

It stopped licking its fur, scratched the ground with its paws, and even tried to bite tree branches.

Unable to contain its primal energy, the husky's destructive tendencies were on full display at this moment.

Jiang Han didn't know what he was thinking. He only knew that the puppy didn't want him to get close and didn't want to annoy him, so he stood aside. As a result, the puppy went crazy. Why was the female wolf digging a hole to give birth?

"Lucy, where did you go?"

The female wolf named Lucy rubbed against her companion.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Jiang Han and saw him standing beside a sled dog, his wolf-like brows slightly furrowed. She casually asked, "How did the sled dog get into the wolf pack?"

Alice glared at the wolf's eyes. "Is he a dog?"

Lucy: "...You didn't know?"

Alice: "I always thought he was a foreigner, but I didn't expect him to be a dog. No wonder he is different from us sometimes. His wolf howl is not as powerful."

Lucy: "This is clearly a Siberian sled, how could the Wolf King allow it...?"

Alice: "We don't understand either. You weren't here for a while, and now his leg is better. A few days ago, he was lying on the King, and the King actually allowed it. He even cuddled him while he rested. Even a cub's father wouldn't do that. And that sled is male. We didn't dare to go up and talk to him when you weren't here. The King is so fierce."

Lucy couldn't believe it, and she dug her sharp claws into the ground: "You're saying the king actually allowed him to ride on his back? You're migrating! It's so dangerous along the way."

Alice: "Yes, I guess it's that dog that's been bothering the king, and for some reason the king is actually indulging it. It's really awful. Last time during the break, it was laughing all the time. It bothers the king every day."

Alice: "The king probably finds it annoying too, he's always frowning. Lucy, why don't you talk to the king and ask him to kick that dog out of the pack? With him around, we still have to share the food."

Alice: "You have no idea how much he can eat every day. He eats the food of two male wolves and does absolutely nothing!"

The puppies never eat them. The system, wanting its host to have enough to eat, specially found a book to read, and its mouth was almost dry from reading.

All for the sake of attracting prey from the sky.

On the contrary, they eat the puppies.

Because if a group catches prey, it must divide it up. If the prey is too small, there won't be much left for Nan Yu to eat, so the system can only keep talking and talking.

It almost killed me with exhaustion.

This is all thanks to the first world's little lamp wick feeding the system watermelon core; if it were fed watermelon butt, it definitely wouldn't have been able to work so hard.

Lucy couldn't believe it: "The king doesn't care?"

Alice: "That dog is so affectionate, and it's a male dog, what a disgrace."

Lucy remained silent for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say:

"In the human world, dogs are seen as obsequious. Give them food, and they wag their tails like crazy. If you don't give them food, they cling to you. They have no dignity whatsoever, and they're absolutely despicable!"

Alice: "Really? No wonder I don't like that dog."

Alice: "It's good that you're back, Lucy. You should talk to the King. If the other tribes find out that we're hanging out with a male dog, we'll be laughed at to death."

Lucy feigned reluctance, "Well, forget it. Last time I ignored your advice and left with Hill, the King was already very unhappy..."

Alice: "Chris and the others wouldn't dare, and we have even less say in front of the King. Who else but you can persuade us, Lucy?"

Lucy sighed, "Okay, I'll go check it out."

The female wolf stepped up to the wolf king, wanting to nuzzle him first. Animals are not humans; they express their emotions by rubbing against each other, which is not necessarily a sign of love, much like the Western custom of kissing hands.

The wolf king took a slight step back, but Lucy still managed to brush against him.

The puppy saw this and immediately got so angry that its fur stood on end.

Running up to Jiang Han with both hands and feet in unison, he pounced on the wolf.

It bit both the neck and the mouth.

Although the force wasn't enough to injure the wolf king, it was enough to provoke its authority. If it were any other wolf in the pack, the wolf king would probably have torn it apart!

It was a puppy. It had been digging at the ground like crazy just now. What was it trying to do now?

Lucy was utterly shocked. The king wasn't angry at all?

The puppy, still not satisfied with its bite, bared its teeth at Jiang Han. Provoked, the wolf king's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He thought the puppy had awakened its bloodline and was starting to challenge the strong, so he was unwilling to fight it.
