Tang Wu nodded. Before leaving, he told Zhu Hao to run away as soon as she saw the Wolf Lord. Zhu Hao's scent was very faint in the next room, so he guessed that only the Wolf Lord was in there.
His eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered that Zhu Hao wasn't next door. Where had she gone?!
"Oh no!" Tang Wu's face tightened, and his rabbit ears popped out. "Zhu Hao has disappeared!"
All the wolves were so frightened that their ears and tails popped out, except for Tang Miao.
Tang Miao glanced at the wolf ears on Tang Yue's head with a complicated expression, "No... Zhu Hao is right next door."
Tang Wu sniffed the air next door and was quite certain that Zhu Hao's scent was fading. He stared at Tang Miao in confusion, "Zhu Hao's scent is very faint."
"That's because it's masked by the wolf's scent." Tang Miao raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, looking shy, and gently reminded them, "A wolf's scent is very strong after it has finished its heat cycle."
Of all the wolves and rabbits present, only Tang Miao had a mate and cubs, so no one knew them better than her.
At that moment, all the wolves fell silent.
Tang Xi awkwardly tugged at her curled-up tail.
Tang Wu coughed lightly, hesitantly touching his newly sprouted rabbit ears, and lowered his voice, "Wolf Lord... five minutes? Hmm..."
Tang Yue quickly covered Tang Wu's mouth, staring at him nervously. He glanced cautiously at the thick wall and whispered a warning, "Be careful the Wolf Lord hears!"

The next room.
Tang Song leaned over Zhu Hao, excitedly seeking a touch, its tail also excitedly snaking upwards along her calves.
Zhu Hao bit her lower lip, her face flushed, and stared at Tang Song's reaction while gently rubbing his wolf ears.
She could feel a burning heat source on her lower abdomen.
She knew what it was, and she knew what might happen next.
With her tacit approval, Tang Song became increasingly unrestrained.
A simple rub against her face was no longer enough for Tang Song. His burning lips traveled down her fair neck, stopping at the wound he had just bitten, and he gently licked it with the tip of his tongue, as if healing her wound.
[Hoo~ Hoo~ A little lick and it won't hurt anymore, it won't hurt, don't hide...]
【Awoo~】
So cool and refreshing!
【Aww~ So sweet!!】
[Awooo~ I'm going to eat them all!!]
Tang Song's breathing became increasingly rapid, and Zhu Hao could even hear the panting in his heart, making her ears burn.
She suppressed her shyness, gently rubbing Tang Song's wolf ears as she spoke firmly, "Tang...Song..."
"Hmm..." A muffled groan escaped Tang Song's lips, her body trembled, and her heavy breathing stopped at her collarbone, "Hmph..."
I felt that the heat source on my lower abdomen was hotter and damp, but not as irritating as before.
[Ahhh!! Ahhh!! Ahhh! I'm so pathetic!!! Why is her voice so beautiful?! Ahhh!!]
Zhu Hao's eyes froze, her hand that was rubbing his earlobe stopped, and she hesitated before glancing sideways at Tang Song's stiff hair.
She slowly moved her fingertips, carefully brushing aside the stray hairs on his cheek.
His cold face was flushed red, his muscles taut. This was the first time she had ever seen such a look of helplessness on Tang Song's face.
[Ahhh!! Ahhh!! I'm so embarrassed! Don't look! Don't look!]
call out!
Tang Song suddenly got up, covered the wolf's ears and ran to the bathroom, leaving Zhu Hao alone lying flat on the bed, looking down at the wet marks on her stomach with a blank expression.

In the living room, separated by a wall.
Several wolves flapped their exposed ears, their tails clutching themselves helplessly.
Tang Xi raised her hand to smooth her hair, cleared her throat, and looked at Tang Miao, "Then... does the Wolf Lord still need us to guard him?"
Tang Miao's eyes darted around, her gaze unfocused, and she stammered, "I guess... we don't need to anymore?"
"Hmm..." Tang Xi's usually aloof face showed a hint of shyness, "But Zhu Hao is in the next room... The Wolf Lord got through his heat so quickly... Could it be that he's... ugh..."
"Shh!!" Tang Miao stood on tiptoe and covered Tang Xi's mouth, glancing at Tang Wu, who had a clear expression, and Tang Yue, who had no expression at all, in the room. "You two don't know?!"
"Know what?" Tang Yue looked at her, his face full of doubt.
Tang Miao licked her lips, and silently said, "Best wishes to you and the Wolf Lord..."
Then she closed her lips tightly and pressed her index fingers together, mimicking a kissing motion.
Tang Wu looked utterly astonished, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have. "But...didn't the Wolf Lord treat Zhu Hao like a cub?"
"Shh!!" Tang Yue glared at Tang Wu, "Old wizard!! I told you to keep quiet! The Wolf Lord can hear you!"
Tang Wu smiled awkwardly.
It's not his fault. He's a rabbit, and his hearing isn't that sensitive. He's really not used to not being able to make a sound through such a thick wall.
Several wolves stood together, heads touching, forming a circle. Tang Wu stood in the center, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and silently asked, "How did Tang Miao know?"
Tang Miao secretly tapped her fingertips, a hint of sadness flashing across her face, "The Wolf Lord's feelings for Zhu Hao are a bit like my partner's feelings for me..."
Tang Miao's partner died two years ago in that avalanche.
He died trying to save Xiaoxue and Tang Miaocai from under the snow mountain.
When Tang Miao's partner was still alive, he indeed raised her like a baby, not letting her do any dirty or tiring work, and wishing he could treat her like a little princess.
Unfortunately, after the avalanche, not even a body was found; only some fragments of clothing were recovered.
The previously gossipy atmosphere suddenly turned somber.
Tang Xi remained silent for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Tang Miao's shoulder. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She was by nature a cold and aloof person, whose heart could only hold the mission of a wolf clan wizard. She could not comfort others with words, but could only express her pity through actions.
Tang Miao sniffed, her voice muffled, "It's alright now, it's been two years."
She deliberately raised her voice, not lowering it, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "Isn't the Wolf Lord just reluctant to let Zhu Hao work harder? The Wolf Lord talks about raising cubs and saying that Zhu Hao is our wolf clan's benefactor, but does he not know in his heart that Zhu Hao is no longer a cub in the human world?"
Tang Yue lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and remained silent.
“You’re right.” Tang Wu nodded in agreement, not bothering to lower his voice. “I knew it! How could the Wolf Lord, a wolf with exceptional intelligence in both the wolf clan and the human world, not be able to tell whether Zhu Hao was a cub or not? So that’s what he was thinking!”
"ah!!!"
"Ah!~"
"..."
Several sharp wolf howls rang out one after another.
The room suddenly felt empty, with only the curtains fluttering forlornly in the night breeze.
*
In the garden outside the manor.
Tang Wu's body was half-buried in the mud, his hands stuck in the soil, standing straight like a telephone pole.
His gaze swept over the other wolves beside him, who were in the same predicament, and his voice trembled, "This was done by the wolf master, wasn't it? I think I just felt a big paw throw me out."
Tang Miao was silent for a moment, then said, "The Wolf Lord heard what we just said..."
Tang Yue's legs were reduced to bones, and the wolf was stuck upside down in the mud, its injured legs pointing straight up to the sky. It howled and struggled, looking like it was having a very hard time.
Tang Xi calmly turned her head and asked, "So the Wolf Lord also heard us say he was five minutes old?"
The others: "..."
