Lucy ran away crying.

The wolf king didn't look at it much, but instead focused its gaze on the puppy, went over and licked its fur, and asked, "Are you not angry?"

The puppy licked him too, chuckled, and said, "Don't be angry."

Lucy couldn't be as persistent as a puppy; her only attempt was to maintain distance while constantly bothering other animals, creating the illusion of affection in front of them.

This led the pack to believe that the wolf king was a mate of Lucy, a form of indulgence.

Over time, this will lead the wolves, both big and small, in the pack to believe that they are the mate of the wolf king.

Besides keeping their distance, everyone stepped on the wolf king's landmines.

At first, he didn't notice, after all, the wolf king was focused on survival and hunting. Letting Lucy eat first was not his intention, but who knew that it would cause some female wolves to misunderstand.

Later, this was even used against puppies.

Jiang Han then realized the extent of the hidden dangers that his leniency would bring.

After that, his attitude towards Lucy became very clear.

The other adult wolves silently turned their heads away, turned to the side, or dug holes with their claws, creating an awkward situation.

The wild boar won't die anytime soon.

The entrance to the burrow was too deep for the wolves to jump down and kill the wild boars, since they were capable of fighting. The wolf king assigned tasks to the wolves, who took turns guarding the burrows until the wild boars were exhausted, then they would push soil around them and carry them up.

The puppy's stomach was growling with hunger.

Jiang Han took him to hunt other prey.

Finally, they caught a brood of rabbits. The puppy wolfed them down, not forgetting to leave two for the wolf king. Jiang Han went into the mountains to find wild fruit, as the puppy liked to have some fruit after the meal.

"Why."

The puppy looked up, still chewing. Dogs have a keen sense of smell and can tell who it is when someone approaches, whether they look up or not. But if the other person makes a sound, it will still move.

He scoffed hostilely, "What? My brother went to pick wild fruit for me. Even if he were here, he'd be a wolf you can't have. Give up!"

"I'm not looking for Wang, I'm looking for you."

Lucy had cried enough and followed the scent to find them.

The puppy paused in its chewing, then swallowed, tilting its head. "Looking for me? Do you want me to give you my brother?" It straightened its head, took another bite of meat, looked up, chewed, and mumbled, "Impossible."

Lucy's eyes welled up with tears again.

“I met Wang Xian when you were still a dog. I won’t argue that you’re female, but you’re male and infertile. Do you want to make Wang’s lineage end?”

puppy:"……"

Lucy said as if reminiscing, "Before you came into our lives, we were very happy. When the king hunted, after he finished eating, the first thing he ate was always me. And when we were in danger, the king would protect us..."

The puppy couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up to interrupt: "Happiness my ass! He gave you the first bite, that's scumbag behavior! You deserve the best! Why should you eat his leftovers? If he gives you leftovers, it means he doesn't like you! He doesn't respect you!"

Lucy retorted, "No! This is our wolf clan's rule!"

"Then how do I take the first bite?"

Because I'm thick-skinned, hehe.

The puppy-dog brainwashing left Lucy, the simple-minded wolf, stunned.

“I’m not lying to you, Sister Lucy. I’ve heard you’re very knowledgeable, so you must know about human zoos, right? My brother and I were captured there a while ago. There were so many wolves inside, whether they were the alpha wolf or ordinary wolves. When the humans gave out food, the female wolves ate first.”

"The male wolf eats first because he doesn't care about your feelings, he doesn't love you, he despises you. Despising you is an insult, and insulting someone is like killing their parents. It's a very low-class thing to do. Sister Lucy, do you like being despised? Do you want to be a wolf without self-respect?"

The puppy babbled a bunch of nonsense, instilling in Lucy the idea that "the female wolf should come first, and it's wrong for the male wolf to come first, it means he doesn't love her," which made Lucy completely give up on Jiang Han.

As a result, Lucy only caught one sentence: "Were you captured by humans?"

The puppy was confused. After thinking about it, it realized that it was true. Although it was rescued, it ended up staying at the zoo for several months. They wouldn't let it go, so it was essentially being captured.

"Yes, that zoo isn't very good. I suggest you don't go. We almost didn't make it back. Sister Lucy, let me tell you, you absolutely must find the female wolf..."

The puppy casually replied, intending to steer the conversation back on track and continue brainwashing Lucy, but before he could finish speaking, Lucy said:

Why have you all lost so much weight?

“They won’t give us food. That place isn’t a good place. Don’t even think about it. Of course, don’t even think about my brother either.”

After the puppy finished speaking, Lucy was completely bewildered.

In her eyes, the king was always an invincible being.

They were captured by humans.

She's lost so much weight.

The king should be able to defeat humans, so how did he get subdued?

Jiang Han is right. Lucy admires strength. The animal world is different from the human world. Humans sympathize with the weak and want to help and protect those weaker than themselves. Animals are different.

Especially one's partner.

In the harsh natural world, those with fierce physiques have a higher survival rate. When females look for mates, the weak and disabled are not even considered. Wolves are monogamous, and it is very common for a female to find two or three males in some animals.

They cannot be constrained by human standards.

Lucy likes the wolf king.

I admire his bravery in protecting his tribe, his fearlessness in the face of prey larger than himself, his constant calm and composure, his untamed spirit and never-give-up attitude, and his keen insight and decisiveness...

Lucy only liked the wolf king's good points.

And they felt that the wolf king was full of good qualities.

If you can't catch prey, it's not because you can't beat them, but because you don't have any. If you do have prey, you can definitely ambush them. So she can't accept that the king failed and was captured by humans for so long.

She had seen humans; they were very weak.

Once knocked down, it has almost no ability to resist.

The team I used to be with, the Wolf King Sakai killed a human single-handedly. How could the king be captured by humans for several months and even become visibly thinner?

He is a king.

How could a king lose to humans?

It's understandable that bodily functions decline with age, but wasn't Wang in his prime? Could it be that spending so much time with dogs has assimilated his hunting skills?

Lucy couldn't accept that the father of her child couldn't be a loser.

The puppy was still brainwashing Lucy, unaware that a casual remark he made had already caused her to lose all goodwill towards the wolf king.

"Really, whether you're a wolf or a human, you have to respect yourself. Don't think I'm shameless for following my brother around; he falls for it. Sister, you should find another wolf to like. Although I'm male too, my brother is very loyal in love. He has me, so he can't possibly like you anymore."

"You're so beautiful, so eloquent, and so sensible. You must have a lot of wolves who like you. Don't keep staring at my brother. He's my wolf."

The puppy showered the dog with compliments, while also asserting its dominance.

Lucy's head was buzzing.

She no longer understood what the puppy was saying.

All I know is that the King actually lost to a human. Sakai, who is not as good as the King, was able to kill a human in one fell swoop. How could the King lose to a human?

He left in a daze.

The puppy tilted its head and watched them leave, thinking it had convinced Lucy. It had no idea that Lucy was imagining the wolf king's crushing defeat and was utterly disappointed in him. Nan Yu sat down, smiling, and waved, calling out:

I hope you find a good partner.

The wolf king returned carrying fruit, and upon smelling the scent of the female wolf, frowned slightly. "Has Lucy been here?"

The puppy is full and lying on the ground, fast asleep.

When his brother came back, he immediately got up, kissed him on the lips, then took a bite of apple and nodded, "Yeah, thanks to my tireless efforts, it seems she's about to give up on you. Brother, aren't I amazing?"

The puppy chewed on an apple and proudly swished its tail.

They circled around the wolf king.

Jiang Han was lavish in his praise of the puppy: "Amazing!"

Back in the mountains, the puppy got fatter, and the wolf king became visibly stronger. They built their den under an old tree. They had no choice but to sleep on the ground during their migration, and once they found a place to live, they were sure to build a den.

Since their lives have become stable.

The puppy's condition is getting better day by day.

He followed the wolf king when he hunted, accompanied him when the wolf king patrolled its territory, and the wolf king would howl from time to time to call on its companions to check for danger. The puppy also imitated the wolf's howl.

Gradually, the puppy integrated into the wolf pack and helped Jiang Han count the number of wolves. Today, when he called out to one of them, there was no response. He called out to it three or four times, but there was still no reaction.

The wolf king mistakenly believed that his pack was in danger and summoned his companions to investigate.

The puppy followed, running very fast.

Arrived at the destination.

A pack of wolves surrounded the gray wolf that had fallen into a deep sleep, their faces grim, yet the wolf was still nonchalantly snoring.

Seemingly sensing the watchful eyes of many, the puppy stretched and yawned. The puppy thought the gray wolf would wake up, but instead, it rolled over, probably adjusted to a position that it found comfortable, and went back to sleep.

Nan Yu: "..."

The wolf king couldn't stand it and went up to bite the gray wolf awake.

The gray wolf howled as it was bitten.

Seeing that it was the king, the wolf was so frightened that it rolled over and exposed its belly, begging for mercy. Only then did the wolf king spare it. "If you don't respond, I'll use you as bait next time I hunt!"

The gray wolf chickened out; he just thought it was a bit too loud and didn't hear it.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty. There won't be a next time."

I promised there wouldn't be a next time.

As a result, he was the one who remained silent every time after that.

Beating him up a few times won't help.

Jiang Han was speechless with anger. The puppy suggested, "Let him stay closer to us, so that even if he's sleeping, I can keep an eye on him for you."

It's impossible to get close.

Wolves have a strong sense of territory. Even though their teamwork is top-notch, once they've claimed a territory, they'll either be forced to flee due to a flash flood or be defeated by a new wolf king.

Jiang Han would definitely not want to sleep or move or shrink their territory.

Suppressing his anger, he shook his head. "No need. Leo lives next door to him. I'll tell Leo to watch out, he's useless!"

Jiang Han doesn't usually lose his temper easily. Even when he is angry, it is usually a calm and ruthless temper. But when he encounters a sleepy god like Gray Wolf who is incorrigible, he can't help but get irritable and curse the wolf.

The puppy saw its beloved husband getting so angry.

He used to lick his lips and then lick his fur.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Getting angry will cause wrinkles. I'll go and chant some sutras for him. Lucy listened to me and realized she had left to choose a partner who loved her. Ciri can too."

Jiang Han sighed, and the thought of driving the gray wolves out of the pack crossed his mind.

A pack does not need wolves that disobey orders.

He has given the Grey Wolf many chances.

The puppy still went to persuade him, but Xili always looked tired and weary. When Nanyu went, he was too lazy to even stand up.

The puppy sat down beside him. "Siri, are you sleepy?"

Siri yawned. "It's alright."

Having grown accustomed to living in constant fear, the sudden safety and abundance of food triggered Siri's natural laziness, and all he wanted to do all day was sleep.

Puppy: "Are you sick?"

Siri sniffed. "No." She was just being lazy.

"Were you like this before?"

He used to be incredibly fierce, one of the main forces of the tribe. This area in Xili Circle had many small animals, and some fools would just walk right into his mouth. He didn't even need to hunt for food when he was hungry; to put it bluntly, he was just lazy.

I couldn't help but yawn again, stretch, and didn't want to say anything more.

"The king is waiting for you. I'm fine. I'll definitely answer next time."

Having done it so many times, Xili is now fearless. He begs for mercy when the king comes, and continues to sleep when the king doesn't. Even if he's driven out of the pack, he won't die. The life of a wolf who just gives up is truly blissful.

Before the puppy could even speak, it was shut down by the other person saying they wanted to sleep. Shaking its fur, it had no choice but to turn and leave, looking back every few steps.

Suddenly, I bumped into a 'wall'.

The smell was unfamiliar, but upon closer inspection, I saw that the guy's black and white outfit was quite stylish.

"Sorry, are you hurt?" the puppy apologized.

The Border Collie sized up the puppy and immediately recognized it as a Husky: "It's okay, you're not keeping it as a pet, are you?"

"ah?"

Upon hearing the bewildered voice, the Border Collie shut up. Asking was pointless; it would be better to find its own way. Huskies were never reliable, and the owner's three had already shown him enough.

As we walked on, the puppy tilted its head and caught up, replying, "I'm not a domesticated pet, are you?"

Border Collie: "No."

He has an owner, but he is free-range.

Where are you going? Are you lost?

The Border Collie stopped and suddenly realized that this Husky was much smarter than the ones at home; the others were just mentally challenged, talking nonsense and refusing to sit or stand when asked.

"Do you know the way?"

Where are you going?

"Human Village".

"Ah, that's not a good place. Don't you keep pets as pets?"

"I have an owner. If you know the way, could you please take me there?" He entered the mountains in a fit of pique, but was distracted by the smells and wandered further and further away, unable to find his way out.

"Okay, I'll tell my husband first."

The Border Collie heard her husband's eyes narrow slightly and couldn't help but repeat, "Husband?"

"Yes, my husband is a wolf, he's very powerful."

The puppy circled around the Border Collie, unable to resist praising the wolf king. He really liked Jiang Han and would mention him to everyone.

"Xiaoyu!"

The wolf king's voice grew louder as it approached.

He sprinted to the puppy's side.

His wary eyes were fixed on the Border Collie. Just like the puppy had pushed Lucy away years ago, he pushed the Border Collie away, his possessiveness towards the puppy palpable.

The Border Collie, being highly intelligent, guessed that this was the Husky's husband, sensed the other's hostility, and even felt danger. It took two steps back to keep its distance from the dog.

"Brother, this is a new friend I've met. By the way, what's your name? My name is Nan Yu, Nan as in Nanshan (South Mountain) and Yu as in Baoyu (precious jade)."

The Border Collie was embarrassed and didn't want to say anything, but it still said, "Coco."

Because of his exposure to human culture, he felt that the name was very feminine, even though he was clearly male, but it was given to him by his master.

"It sounds really good."

"Thanks."

"Come on, I picked a lot of apples for you." The wolf king didn't want them to talk any longer, so he half-urged and half-coaxed the puppy.

"I promised to show my friend the way, just wait a bit."

When the wolf king's gaze swept over him, the border collie immediately said, "I'm not leaving yet. Don't worry about me if you need anything."

The wolf king nudged the puppy with its head, trying to knock it away. The puppy could only follow the wolf king. After taking only two steps, the Border Collie cried out, and Jiang Han frowned.

Coco: "Don't the wolves here discriminate against the same sex?"

Being intelligent beings, Jiang Han quickly understood his meaning and said, "Mm." He then left with the puppy.

After the wolf and dog left, the Border Collie's eyes darted around. It didn't discriminate against the same sex, nor did it mind crossing species. It was annoyed to death by the silly dog ​​every day, and the Border Collie wanted to bring a smart dog home as a playmate.

As I walked and pondered, I arrived at the territory of the Sleeping God, Siri.

After confirming it was a wolf, he approached, expecting the wolf to become wary. However, it was still asleep. He had never seen a wild wolf so unaware of its surroundings. The Border Collie went over and nudged it with its paw.

Siri rolled over and kicked him, then went back to sleep.

The Border Collie got angry and started biting him. Siri was terrified, thinking it was a wolf king, but it turned out to be an unknown species. He immediately became enraged and attacked back.

Border Collies aren't pushovers either.

However, this dog is not as fierce as a wolf.

Siri overpowered the Border Collie, exhausted. One second he was glaring fiercely, the next he was fast asleep. The Border Collie kicked the wolf away, stood up, and shook his body speechlessly.

He was originally planning to continue walking, but after being kicked by Xili, he decided to stay and take revenge slowly.

...

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Both the puppy and the wolf king were in good health, but they couldn't compare to the young.

The replacement of the old king by the new king of the wolf clan requires a struggle. In the past two years, many young wolves have grown up and wanted to challenge the king's authority. Jiang Han taught them all a lesson.

As he grew older, the puppy became afraid of him going into battle.

He wasn't afraid of his failure, nor did he care whether Jiang Han was the Wolf King. He was afraid that Jiang Han would get hurt. Every time the puppy worried about him, he would eat less. The Wolf King felt sorry for him and eventually developed some health problems, so he took the initiative to give up his position to the young wolf.

This is unprecedented in the history of the wolf clan, since wolves do not yet have a system of abdication.

Having relinquished his responsibilities as the wolf king, Jiang Han focused on taking care of the puppy.

The puppy, which he had fattened up, lay in its den, too lazy to move. Jiang Han brought it a fruit, licked the puppy's fur, and said, "Good boy, eat some fruit."

The puppy opened its mouth and munched, gossiping as it chewed: "Did Xili get beaten up today?"

Jiang Han: "Yeah, his wife chased him all over the mountain."

"Aren't our dogs all amazing?" the little dog boasted, adding a touch of self-aggrandizement.

Jiang Han smiled: "Yes, it's really great."

Hehe~

The Border Collie and the Gray Wolf have a love-hate relationship. The Gray Wolf loves to sleep, and the Border Collie chases after him barking. The Gray Wolf gets annoyed by the noise and starts bothering the Border Collie while he's sleeping.

Later, I don't know how we ended up together.

The puppy only knows that the Border Collie chases the gray wolf every day, and it's almost become a scenic spot in the mountains.
