【Of course, it's our tribe's new habitat!! Two years ago, our habitat in the snow-capped mountains collapsed due to a natural disaster. This one, I searched thousands of places to find, and it took two whole years to settle our tribe in!】
[But has the old wizard returned? It's been an hour since I called him! Is that old rascal still out partying?]
I stroked the edge of my phone, wanting to ask many questions, but I held them back.
She hears only what men think, and if they ask those questions, they'll know she can hear their thoughts.
This won't do!!
"Home," Tang Song said simply, hands in his pockets. "Ours."
Then, he took the lead and walked towards the gate.
Zhu Hao stared blankly at the man's tall back, his long black hair elegantly raised and standing upright in the air, swaying leisurely with the man's movements.
Home...?
Is it...ours?
A warm current surged from the bottom of my heart, flowing through my limbs and bones, penetrating every pore.
He took her home.
Go back to their home.
*
The central villa of the estate.
Second-floor bedroom.
Zhu Hao sat blankly in the chair, breathing softly, his face flushed from exercise, his legs trembling from walking several kilometers.
Tang Song frowned, poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of her, his tone stiff, "Drink."
Zhu Hao swallowed hard, forgetting even to say thank you, and then picked up the glass and gulped it down.
Why didn't you say the cub couldn't walk? The distance from the manor gate to here is so short, just a few steps, why does the cub look so tired? Looks like the manor needs a vehicle, but the cub's health is too poor!! It needs more exercise!!!
Zhu Hao paused in his drinking motion, then shakily put down the empty cup.
She is human! Not a wolf!
He has four legs!
Of course, it's just a short run away!
"You brought the cubs back?" A young voice came from the doorway, clear and crisp, with a rising tone at the end, indicating that the person was not very old.
Tang Song's brows furrowed slightly. "Why are you only arriving now?"
The boy appeared in the bedroom.
Hope you get through this.
The boy had rosy lips and white teeth, and his skin was so smooth it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. He was dressed in a simple white t-shirt and black casual pants, looking every bit the youthful high school student.
She saw Tang Song's lips forming the shape of an "old wizard".
An old wizard?
This young man... is he old?
Moreover, he looks younger than her; can he really cure her deafness and muteness?
The young man spoke slowly, "I already said I'm going to tell Madam Nan's fortune today, so I'll be a little late. What's the rush?"
Tang Song pursed his lips. "Stop going out and swindling people. Come and see the cubs."
[At such an advanced age, even in retirement, he can't settle down. Knowing full well that prophecies shouldn't be casually shared with humanity for fear of backlash, he still insists on making money through fortune-telling!! Do you think I can't afford to support him?? Relying on his over four hundred years old and limited lifespan, he's recklessly jumping around! Isn't he afraid of being killed by the prophecy one day?!]
Best wishes, blinking rapidly in shock.
A prophecy?! Over four hundred years old!?
This boy?!
Do wolves really live that long?
When Zhu Hao met the boy's scrutinizing and probing gaze, she immediately stood up, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.
Despite having the face of a young man, after hearing Tang Song's inner thoughts, she felt as if she were standing in front of an old man over four hundred years old, and couldn't help but become respectful.
“His name is Tang Wu.” Tang Song pointed to the boy. “Let him take a look at your ears and throat.”
Zhu Hao nodded and obediently sat on the stool in front of the boy.
The boy tiptoed and walked around her once.
He stood before her with a furrowed brow, raising his hand to wave.
Zhu Hao stared at him, completely bewildered.
Is this an inspection?
Is he an X-ray?
Do you think you'll know everything just by going around in circles?
The boy sighed and shook his head as he walked toward Tang Song.
May the light in your eyes slowly fade away.
She knew it couldn't be cured.
Even modern medical technology, with its advanced technology, can't do anything about it.
How could it be possible to simply walk around like that?
The boy had his back to her, so she couldn't see his lips and naturally didn't know what he said.
But Tang Song would secretly complain to himself.
[Why are you sighing when you can be cured?! Disrespectful to your elders!! These are all bad habits spoiled by humans, acting all mystical!]
Suddenly, Zhu Hao felt that Tang Song's heartfelt words had become both distant and close, as if they were right next to her ear.
The heart bursts forth with new vitality.
thump thump thump...
She thought she could hear her heart beating.
She can become a normal person again!!
Tang Song looked at her with a stern face, and she immediately sat up straight, her expression tense.
The boy went out.
The two of them were left alone in the bedroom.
Tang Song walked up to her, squatted down, and spun her tail excitedly. "It can be cured, don't worry."
Seeing his bright red lips opening and closing, and then being drawn to the tail behind him, Zhu Hao could no longer suppress her excitement.
The little head kept nodding, like pecking at rice.
She couldn't make a sound, but her body language told Tang Song something.
She was very happy.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Song's lips.
[Hehe~ Although the old wizard said the chance of a cure was only 2%, that old rascal always likes to lower the wolf's expectations, so the chance of a cure is much higher than 2%. The cub's hearing and voice will definitely be restored!]
The smile on his lips stiffened.
2%?
What's the difference between this and being incurable?
The excitement that had just surged up was suppressed again.
Meeting Tang Song's smiling eyes, she forced a smile in return.
Well, she's always grown up like this, so it's not surprising that she can't be cured.
She had already guessed it.
After adjusting her mindset, she regained her previous calm.
The cub's smile is cuter than the other cubs in the pack.
[Wait! The cubs of the pack!!]
[Oh my god! I was so focused on telling the adult wolves not to come out that I forgot to take some of the cubs out to play!! They're not exactly obedient creatures!!]
The cubs' forms are still unstable; they sometimes transform into wolf cubs. If the other cubs saw this, they'd be terrified!
A flicker of panic crossed Tang Song's face for the first time, and the wolf ears on his head twitched rapidly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He stood up abruptly and said in a very fast voice, "Wait for me, don't wander off."
I barely saw the "wishing you well" message as it was approaching.
Before she could react, Tang Song's black tail had vanished without a trace.
The door slammed shut and was locked.
Blink slowly.
The cubs... might appear?!
A little wolf cub? A fluffy little wolf cub!?
Wishing you continued excitement.
The disappointment I felt earlier because of that 2% chance of recovery immediately lifted.
Could she pet a wolf cub?!
If I can't touch Tang Song, can I touch the little wolf cub?
oops!!
There were several wolf cubs!
Aaaaaah!!
Just thinking about that scene makes me so excited!!
She didn't even realize that her face was flushed with excitement, and she was rubbing her fingertips together as if she had already touched it.
*
After some time, there was a knock on the balcony door.
With his back to the balcony, Zhu Hao couldn't hear or know that three fluffy little wolves of different colors had secretly slipped in.
Two are red and white, and one is black and white.
The three little wolves huddled together, their noses wet, whispering "Awoo~ Awoo~".
"Is it her!? My mommy said the human cub Uncle Wolf brought back, is it her!?"
"It must be! It must be! She smells different from us; she smells wonderful."
"Keep your voice down! She'll hear us. If we're discovered, Uncle Wolf Lord will give us a good beating!"
"Oh no!! Quick, hide the scent! Hurry, hurry! If Uncle Wolf Lord finds out the scent, we're doomed!!"
"Waaaaah, I still don't know how to collect scents."
"Fool!"
"Fool!"
Zhu Hao suddenly turned around, and the three little wolves quickly hid behind the curtains.
She saw the curtains swaying even though there was no wind, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She slowly got up and walked towards the curtains.
"Splash..."
Zhu Hao drew back the curtains and saw three children.
No, three... little wolves?
Like Tang Song, it has a human form, with furry ears on its head and a small tail that it tries to hide.
