Lucy swallowed the last bite of the fish head.

She caught sight of the wolf king out of the corner of her eye and looked flustered. "Ah? Did you catch this fish? I thought it was Alice's husband, Leo. I'm sorry."

The wolf king came over, carrying a large fish weighing seven or eight pounds in his mouth. He placed it at the puppy's feet. The puppy felt wronged as soon as it saw him and couldn't hold back its tears. It sobbed and complained, "Big brother, they ate my fish!"

Alice had no idea how Lucy had told her that Leo had caught it for her and her son...

She did not see the puppy catching fish.

Alice was convinced that the king had caught the fish.

I feel a little bad for Wang.

But her preconceived notions added a touch of aversion to puppies to her; indeed, they weren't the same species, so she simply couldn't like them.

"I'm sorry, I thought Leo caught it. The children were hungry, so I didn't ask my husband to confirm that he ate your fish. Are you bothered by that?"

I already said the pups are hungry. If he's bothered by it, then he's going against the pups. The pups are the most important in the pack. If the pup is upset, then the pup is in the wrong.

Nan Yu didn't want to appear too selfish in front of the Wolf King.

After all, whether in the human or animal world, bullying cubs is wrong. What do a few months old know?

What's the point of arguing if you've already swallowed it all?

The more you talk about it, the worse it will look on your face. Your older brother will definitely think he's petty and calculating.

Lucy once said that the wolf king likes sensible people, and that puppies love to act cute in front of the wolf king. This was misleading Lucy before; she didn't actually know whether Jiang Han liked sensible people or spoiled ones.

A stable life might be preferred to the latter.

Faced with survival issues, it's natural to be as sensible as possible.

He choked back two sobs, then turned and went back into the water to catch fish again.

The Wolf King glanced at Alice, then quickly locked onto her husband Leo. He went over, gave him a severe beating, and gave him a mandatory task: to catch five fish to apologize to Nan Yu.

Alice was heartbroken to watch her husband being scolded, but she could only stand beside the cubs, tears welling in her eyes, as she yielded to the wolf king's authority.

Lucy's expression was also extremely unpleasant.

He apologized, "I'm sorry, Alice. I really didn't know this was prepared for him by the King. I just saw Leo passing by and thought he had given it to you and your son to eat..."

Alice choked up, lowered her head and licked the child's fur before saying, "It's that alien race that's so awful, it has nothing to do with you."

Lucy: "Sorry."

Alice shook her head.

The puppy caught another fat fish and continued to carry it ashore. Leo was being disciplined by the wolf king because of him. Alice's attention was focused on the cubs and Nan Yu.

He pulled a large fish out of the water.

I paused for two seconds, thinking: Could it really be him who caught him?

After beating Leo, the wolf king left and stood guard beside the fish the puppy was carrying.

Nan Yu caught five more fish, each one plump and tender, which made some wolves who couldn't catch any fish very hungry.

It was winter, so there weren't many fish in the stream. With nearly forty wolves among the cubs, there were probably only twenty or so fish left in the water, which wasn't enough to go around.

Leo searched for a long time and only found one medium-sized fish, which he brought to the puppy as an apology.

Seeing that he was limping, and knowing that he had caught enough fish to eat, the puppy said, "You can eat what you caught yourself, I have some here."

Leo shook his head. "I'm sorry my wife and children ate your fish." As he spoke, his stomach growled with hunger, and Leo looked slightly embarrassed.

The wolf king was extremely intimidating and did not soften his stance because of his lameness. "You, as the male, should take responsibility for the mistakes your female partner makes. The rest should be dealt with as soon as possible."

Leo nodded, turned around, and went back into the water to catch fish.

Alice was heartbroken on the shore. She entrusted her child to Lucy's care temporarily and went into the water to catch fish. There were more wolves than fish, making it very difficult to catch them.

Alice spent half a day in the water and only managed to catch one small fish. She carried it ashore, placed it at the dog's feet, and sincerely apologized.

"Sorry, the fish are small. If I catch a few more, can the king retract his command? Leo is male and needs to be well-fed to fight. I can catch some."

The puppy looked at the wolf king.

The wolf king ignored him.

Survival of the fittest, elimination of the inferior—that's how nature works, and it's extremely cruel.

Seeing this, Alice could only remain silent and leave, continuing her descent into the water.

Lucy felt even more wronged, resentful, and jealous!

Grinding her teeth in anger, she handed the cubs over to another female wolf in the pack and then went to the wolf king. "King, you've all found so much food, why did you have to make things difficult for Leo? We are the same kind, he's just a dog!"

The wolf king did not give Lucy a friendly look just because she was there.

He coldly replied, "If you eat someone else's food, what will they eat? If you do something wrong, you should admit it and make amends!"

Lucy was angry, but mostly out of jealousy!

She hates Wang Wei's dog!

"But they don't know either! Didn't you catch these again? What's wrong with eating a few fish? Are you going to just watch the cubs starve to death, like you did back then?"

After Lucy finished speaking, the wolf king's mood changed visibly. His gaze, which had been fixed on the distance, fell on Lucy, and his expression turned cold and stern. "Are you threatening me?"

Lucy's eyes were red, and she choked up, "How dare I threaten you? Who am I? I'm the one who gave Alice the wrong message. If you want to punish or scold me, just come at me!"

The puppy thought their conversation sounded strange.

Suddenly, he interjected, "Big brother."

The wolf king glanced sideways, his gaze landing on the puppy, as if asking him what was wrong.

Nan Yu: "Stop arguing."

Jiang Han: "..."

Are they arguing?

Lucy's tears evoked a sense of pity, a feeling that was almost too much for me to bear. The way wolves see each other is different from how humans see them; besides relying on scent, one can also discern beauty or ugliness from a wolf's face.

If a female wolf were fully anthropomorphized, she would also be a striking beauty.

She was the most beautiful and physically fittest in the pack. Logically, her liking for the wolf king should have been a match made in heaven, but unfortunately, the wolf king wasn't interested.

Lucy sobbed, "There's a saying among humans: 'A bullet fired years ago will hit you right between the eyebrows today.' I accept it, Your Majesty. I don't want to use what happened back then to seek favors. It was my fault, so punish me."

They said they accepted it, but they didn't want to take advantage of the favor.

Every word he said was an attempt to take advantage of someone's kindness.

The wolf king released a low pressure, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

“I’m not blind, Lucy. I told you before not to waste your time on me. Why are you so hostile towards him? You should know better than anyone that Leor has never been here!”

Lucy's eyes widened in panic; she hadn't expected the wolf king to know.

Aren't they fishing?

How do you still have time to pay attention to the wolves in your pack?

"No, no, Your Majesty, I must have been mistaken."

"Since you've chosen to come back, if you want to fill your stomach, don't try to be cunning like humans! Alice has a mate, so what if she hates it? Can a male dog be with a female wolf? It's the nature of wolves. I don't object to you rejecting outsiders, but deliberately bullying them is unacceptable!"

Lucy panicked: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. I just didn't want you to make things difficult for Leo. Alice is my good friend, and I can't just stand by and do nothing."
