On a dark and windy night, the sound of bats flapping their wings sent chills down one's spine.
A group of brightly colored snakes coiled menacingly along the wall, their red tongues hissing, sending chills down one's spine.
Tang Qiao pressed her back against the rock wall, revealing sharp wolf fangs, and her hands clenched into wolf claws, gripping the rock wall tightly.
Its fur stood on end as it warily watched the approaching poisonous creatures.
His clothes were tattered and riddled with holes, the marks left by bats and venomous snakes.
At the bottom of the cave lay a snake's body broken into several pieces, along with countless motionless bats.
The atmosphere inside the cave was tense, with both sides locked in a stalemate, just waiting for a spark to ignite the conflict.
Bang!
The rocks on the cave walls fell and disappeared into the depths of the cave, and the sound only echoed after a long time.
boom!
The balance was broken, and Tang Qiao once again fought against these poisonous creatures.
The fur on its tail was torn off, revealing bright red flesh underneath.
Ignoring the injury on her tail, Tang Qiao swung her claws backward and knocked down a snake with triangular eyes.
She gasped for breath, watching the ever-increasing number of poisonous creatures around her, constantly being brainwashed.
"If I can survive these three days, I will live."
"A day has passed, I can do it."
"Awoo~" A sharp wolf howl came from her throat, and her movements became increasingly fierce and merciless.
The black pupils, stained with the blood of a venomous snake, gradually contracted, turning into vertical pupils that faintly emitted a green light.
"Awoo~" Another familiar wolf howl rang out from outside the cave.
Tang Qiao's gaze froze for a moment as a bat bit her paw.
She looked towards the cave entrance and saw Tang Yue's figure.
Tang Yue transformed into a wolf and charged straight toward her.
The poisonous creatures surrounding Tang Qiao instantly stopped moving and focused their gaze on Tang Yue.
Tang Yue's brown tail drooped and clenched, and it attacked without hesitation, tearing at all the venomous creatures.
The sharp wolf claws ripped open the soft snake's belly, pulled out its internal organs, and flung them defiantly against the wall.
With Tang Yue as the center, a piece of land was instantly cleared out.
Tang Yue slowly retreated, shielding Tang Qiao behind him, and transformed into human form, his sharp wolf claws still not retracted.
Tang Qiao's lips were tightly pressed together, her vertical pupils fixed on Tang Yue. "What are you doing here? Have you also been punished by the Wolf Lord?"
Tang Yue's breath hitched, he clenched his fists, and mumbled, "Hmm."
Tang Qiao withdrew her gaze, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "What? You got thrown here too for being disrespectful to Zhu Hao?"
Tang Yue didn't speak, which Tang Qiao took as tacit agreement. "Does the Wolf Lord want to throw all the wolves in our wolf clan into a cave and kill them all for a scheming human woman?"
"No," Tang Yue finally said, "It has nothing to do with wishing someone well."
"Tch." Tang Qiao raised her paw and wiped away the blood that had flowed from her eyes. "You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to that human woman, would you? Is that why you're protecting her like this?"
Tang Yue turned his head slightly and stared at Tang Yue meaningfully, his lips moving slightly, "No, don't make wild guesses."
Tang Qiao disdainfully turned her gaze away. "I was just threatening Zhu Hao to leave the Wolf Lord. A woman with such a scheming mind shouldn't be around the Wolf Lord. Only a strong and beautiful female wolf like Tang Xi is worthy of him."
Tang Yue lowered his eyes and glanced at his dark brown wolf paws. The large area of brown fur was mixed with black spots, which was ugly and unsightly.
He pursed his lips tightly. "Alright, stop talking. There are still two days left. Just get through this."
Tang Yue paused for a moment, then continued, "The Wolf Lord didn't end your life directly; he left you a way out. Zhu Hao once saved the Wolf Lord's life; he is the Wolf Lord's benefactor and also the Wolf Clan's benefactor. Your actions have already offended the Wolf Lord's majesty. Staying in the cave for three days is already the best outcome. At least if you can survive, you still have a glimmer of hope."
"Survival?" Tang Qiao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "What survival? Survival through poisoning and death? Or survival through being devoured by these poisonous creatures?"
Tang Yue licked the sharp wolf claws and solemnly assured them, "No, you won't die."
Tang Qiao froze for a moment, her tense pupils gradually relaxed, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
The venomous snake was only temporarily frightened away; it pounced again in less than ten minutes.
Tang Yue shielded Tang Qiao firmly behind him, using the blood from his own wounds to attract the poison.
Sunrise and sunset.
There was no time in the dimly lit cave.
All Tang Qiao knew was that Tang Yue, who was in front of her, went from being completely unharmed to gradually having his clothes torn apart, his flesh and blood disappearing, revealing his bare leg bones.
The third day.
Tang Xi's voice came from the cave entrance, "The time has come."
As soon as she finished speaking, a vine appeared in front of Tang Qiao's eyes.
She glanced back at Tang Yue, who was lying on the ground, barely alive, tied the vines around him, and held the rope herself.
A moment later, the two landed on the grass.
Tang Xi retracted the vines, looked at them expressionlessly, and threw the red medicine bottle in her hand into Tang Qiao's arms, "Take the antidote."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xi left without looking back.
After giving Tang Yue the medicine, Tang Qiao stared at the disheveled Tang Yue on the ground with a complicated expression.
Tang Yue only stayed in the cave for two days, and Tang Xi didn't ask him to go back and stay for another day.
He wasn't sent into the cave after being punished by the wolf lord.
Tang Qiao was filled with mixed emotions. She lowered her eyes and swallowed the remaining antidote in the bottle in one gulp.

The living room of the central villa.
Tang Song sat upright on the sofa, and finally, on his forty-ninth sigh, he heard a noise coming from the doorway.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, his nose twitching slightly, before calmly sitting back down.
Tang Qiao dragged the half-awake Tang Yue in.
The moment her gaze fell upon Tang Song, she froze on the spot, glanced at the unlit living room, swallowed hard, and said respectfully, "Wolf Lord."
"Hmm." Tang Song replied coldly, too stingy to even lift his lips.
Tang Qiao lowered her eyes, her heart aching, but she quickly recovered. "I'll take Tang Yue back to rest first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Qiao disappeared in a flash, leaving two bloody streaks on the clean floor.
Tang Song frowned, tilted his head slightly, and parted his lips, ordering Tang Shi to come and clean.
Tang Shi, who was in the kitchen researching how to make small cakes, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He looked helplessly at the small cakes that his subordinates had ruined, wiped his hands, and went out to clean up.

Meiyou Entertainment Clothing Room.
A cell phone ringing interrupted everyone's work.
Zhu Hao, realizing the strange atmosphere around her, finally raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo Shishan across from her.
Zhuo Shishan held her phone with a strange expression and pointed to the screen, "President Tang is looking for you."
Zhu Hao's eyes widened slightly. She had been leaving early and returning late these past two days, spending almost all her time with Zhuo Shishan, the two of them passionately discussing their insights on clothing design.
Although she couldn't speak, she typed very quickly, which didn't affect their communication at all.
In just two days, the two became as familiar as old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
Zhuo Shishan didn't hold back when teasing her.
She handed the phone to Zhu Hao and silently said, "President Tang is calling you home! You're practically a statue waiting for your wife."
