Meng Yuan and Zhou Si's wolf ears perked up instantly, their eyes fixed on Tang Song, their faces full of gossip.
Tang Song felt a little embarrassed as three pairs of eyes stared intently at him, and he coughed lightly.
Xue Qinfeng spoke first, "Tang Song, something's wrong with you! You're shy!"
He quickly got up and was about to get closer to Tang Song when Tang Song noticed his intention. After a loud "Ah!" echoed in the silent space, Xue Qinfeng was thrown into the muddy ground of the back garden.
"You bastard! Are you trying to die?! Am I one of your wolf subordinates?" Xue Qinfeng's cursing voice echoed into the living room. "You've attacked a human! You've violated the principles of your wolf clan! Tang Song! You scoundrel!"
Meng Yuan twitched his ear tips, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked cautiously at Tang Song.
Tang Song was dressed in a black haute couture suit that completely enveloped his tall and imposing figure. His expression was solemn and dignified, and he exuded his usual coldness, as if his earlier blush was just an illusion.
Meng Yuan: "Wolf Lord? Was what Xue Qinfeng just said true?"
Tang Song glanced at him coldly, thought for a moment, then her lips moved, her tone unusually tense, "Where...where is your partner?"
Meng Yuan's partner is a human girl, and they are currently the only human-werewolf couple in the wolf clan.
Although wolves do not reject forming mates with humans, in reality, due to differences in lifestyle and loyalty in relationships, wolves rarely choose humans as mates. Meng Yuan is not only the only wolf to have chosen a human so far, but also the first wolf in wolf history to choose a human as a mate.
To avoid making his partner feel uncomfortable, Meng Yuan has completely moved out of the wolf clan manor and is now living in the human world with his partner.
Tang Song summoned him today mainly to inquire whether there were any unexpected circumstances when he and his partner concluded the contract.
Meng Yuan's expression froze for a moment, then surprise flashed in his eyes. He raised his elbow and nudged Zhou Si beside him.
Zhou Si widened his eyes, avoiding Meng Yuan's movement, and turned to meet Meng Yuan's gaze. They both saw shock and joy on each other's faces at the same time.
Their eyes twitched repeatedly as they exchanged information.
Meng Yuan: [Why did the Wolf Lord ask about my partner?]
Zhou Si: [Is that even a question? Xue Qinfeng's guess must be true, right? Now he wants to learn from you! Didn't you see how Xue Qinfeng was thrown into the back garden when he tried to get close to the Wolf Lord? It's definitely to ensure he remains chaste after forming a contract with his partner.]
Meng Yuan: [Hiss~ Really...]
Da da da...
Tang Song impatiently tapped the table, the sound reaching their ears, creating an inexplicably tense atmosphere.
Meng Yuan swallowed hard, slowly turned his head, and met Tang Song's warning gaze tinged with impatience. He forced a smile onto his dark face, "I... my partner is sleeping at home..."
Meng Yuan thought to himself that he hadn't been home for two days and two nights because he was dealing with company affairs. His partner had just sent him a message saying that she had changed the locks on the house and that if he didn't want to go back, he shouldn't.
He chuckled bitterly to himself, but didn't show it on his face.
Who would bring up something so embarrassing?
Tang Song didn't know Meng Yuan's partner, but Zhou Si did.
When Zhou Si thought of that petite but short-tempered girl, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and his eyes darted around on Meng Yuan.
He was certain that Meng Yuan had no idea what his partner was doing, and might have already been blocked and kicked out, after all, he had taken in homeless Meng Yuan countless times.
Tang Song had no doubt about Meng Yuan's words, but hesitated with a hint of probing, "After you and your partner entered into the contract, did she experience any adverse reactions? Did she feel uncomfortable?"
For wolf mates to form a contract, their souls must merge. Therefore, their souls need to have a certain degree of understanding, or rather, their soul powers need to be balanced. If the difference is too great, the weaker one is in danger of being devoured.
The reason Tang Miao and her partner were in such a state was because Tang Miao's health was too poor and her partner's physique was too strong. This caused Tang Miao to suffer a lot of pain when she made the contract. It was her partner who used half of his soul to resist that pain for Tang Miao.
If wolves with vastly different physical constitutions are like this, how much more so Zhu Hao, who is human and so weak? He was very worried that Zhu Hao would suffer a backlash as a result.
Tang Song rarely showed any emotion, but the worry between his brows was undisguised.
Meng Yuan paused, his expression suddenly tightening, and his voice strained, "She... was in a lot of pain at the time and vomited blood."
Meng Yuan closed his eyes in annoyance. It was all his fault for being too hasty and eager to keep her. He had acted recklessly when making the contract. It was a precedent of human-wolf union that had never been seen before in the history of the wolf clan, but he had forcibly made the contract without any preparation, which caused her to get injured.
Fortunately, he followed the example of Tang Miao's partner back then and used half of his soul to resist her pain. However, during the week that the contract was made, she still had a very difficult time and was almost always in bed.
Meng Yuan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I wasn't prepared enough at the time, so she almost died."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Song's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale.
His sharp features were tinged with a hint of vulnerability.
"Mm," Tang Song responded softly, without asking any further questions.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if Zhu Hao died when he made the contract with her.
The air pressure suddenly dropped.
The entire space was inexplicably enveloped in a somber atmosphere.
"Damn Tang Song!" An angry shout drew closer. Xue Qinfeng, clutching his waist with one hand and constantly plucking the flowers and grass from his head with the other, spat out a mouthful of grass mixed with mud, and limped into the living room. "Why did you throw me out without a word?! Couldn't you have talked it out properly? Did you have to resort to violence?! Do you think I'm human?"
The sadness that filled the air was broken, leaving only Xue Qinfeng's incessant cursing.
Zhou Si glanced at Tang Song's increasingly dark face, his skin tensing up. He quickly got up and covered Xue Qinfeng's mouth, whispering in his ear, "Alright, alright, keep your voice down. Can't you see the Wolf Lord is already angry?"
Xue Qinfeng struggled to slap his hand away, stammering, "What did I do? I just wanted to tease him a little!!"
Tang Song's dark eyes swept over Xue Qinfeng, who kept crying out for justice, and Xue Qinfeng immediately became obedient.
He clutched his waist, muttered something, rolled his eyes, gave Tang Song a sly glare, and quietly sat back down in his original spot.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhou Si breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tang Song, "Wolf Lord, is there anything else you want to say?"
Tang Song paused for a moment, then said, "Meng Yuan."
Meng Yuan: "Here!"
"How did you get your partner to enter into a contract with you in the first place?"
