Chapter 167 The Wolf King Makes a Decision Against His Ancestors
Lin Muyan stared intently at the wolf king, who seemed to sense her gaze and its wolf eyes quickly fixed on her.
The two, one human and one wolf, locked eyes, and Lin Muyan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
This wolf must have truly become a spirit; its eyes held emotions and meaning, completely unlike Ah Bao and Ah Wen. It gave the feeling of staring into the eyes of a human, rather than a wolf.
Ah Bao occasionally has a goofy side; you can tell he's a leopard bear.
Awen is essentially still a little kitten. Even though he can understand her commands, it's mostly just the tacit understanding between a contracted beast and its master.
But this wolf king made Lin Muyan truly feel as if it had gained sentience; its wolf eyes clearly said, "I am very smart!"
At this moment, Xiao Li also noticed the wolf king, who stood out from the rest of the pack, and was deeply shocked by the contrast.
He keenly sensed that this wolf king was clearly different; it might be the mutated beast with reason and control that Lin Muyan had mentioned.
If such a special being could be tamed and used by humans, like the kitten beside Lin Muyan, that would be ideal.
Xiao Li knew very well that with his current abilities, he was powerless to fight against these mutated wolves, let alone the wolf king.
All he has to do now is keep a close eye on the wolf pack's movements and figure out what measures to take if Lin Muyan is in danger.
Alternatively, if Lin Muyan is allowed to use fire-based abilities, then she can only cause wildfires.
Lin Muyan remained calm because she discovered that these mutated wolves would not attack people unless the wolf king gave the order.
This also gave her another important piece of information: that more intelligent mutant beasts are able to control lower-level mutant beasts.
Among the mutated beasts, there are also different ranks, such as the leader and the little Karami.
As long as the leader is rational and not ruthless, even if its subordinates are all bloodthirsty and ferocious mutant beasts, they will not pose a threat to humans.
Of course, this is all based on the premise that the leader beast on the other side has no ill intentions towards humans.
Just like the wolf king in front of her, Lin Muyan did not see any hostility in its eyes. Instead, it was curious about her and Awen beside her.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment, then took out a few pork and lamb legs from her spatial storage and tossed them aside.
The fresh food indeed aroused the mutated wolves' most primal desires, their fangs bared and drool dripping.
However, none of them lost control and tried to snatch the food; instead, they remained standing motionless.
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow and called out to the wolf king across the pack of wolves.
"This is a small token of my appreciation, a gift for your wolf pack. After eating this meat, you mustn't go and eat people again."
The wolf king naturally understood and let out a low growl.
The next second, the mutated wolves pounced and began tearing at the pig and sheep legs. They even bit each other to fight for a bite of meat, resembling a pack of extremely bloodthirsty beasts.
Lin Muyan was therefore even more convinced that the control of higher-level mutated beasts over lower-level mutated beasts was almost overwhelming.
The wolf king did not move an inch, only staring intently at Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment, then took out a pork leg and handed it over.
"This hair was plucked cleanly, it's yours."
The wolf king didn't move, but it sniffed the air, its eyes showing a hint of disgust, and then turned its face away.
Lin Muyan's eyelids twitched, thinking to herself that this wolf king was quite something, actually looking down on such a good pork leg.
Look at its little brothers, they practically chewed the bones to pieces, eating with great gusto.
Lin Muyan uncertainly put the pig's leg back into her spatial storage, then thought for a moment and took out a plate of braised pork with abalone.
As soon as the steaming hot dishes appeared, their aroma wafted out, even making Xiao Li, who was in the tree, swallow hard.
Just how many delicious foods and drinks does Miss Lin have hidden in her space?
As usual, the wolf king sniffed the food, but this time he didn't show any disgust. He picked up the braised pork and abalone from the plate and ate them, leaving some spices and ginger on the plate.
Lin Muyan blinked and sighed inwardly. So elegant, so classy. It's a good thing this thing can't take human form, otherwise it would definitely be an incomparably noble and handsome man, captivating countless human women.
[This mutated beast is so strange. It actually dislikes raw meat and prefers heavily seasoned human dishes. Could it be that it has mutated and developed human genes?]
Sigh, mutations are possible in anything. Aside from their appearance, it seems the only difference between them and humans is that they can speak.
Lin Muyan has taken a liking to it. Even just as a mount, it exudes class. If its mutated abilities become even stronger, its status might surpass that of A Bao Ou.
[Ah Bao: I was only away for a short while, and you're telling me my base was raided?]
The wolf king finished his meal, but still felt a little unsatisfied.
With such a large size, its appetite was naturally astonishing, but Lin Muyan did not intend to feed it anymore. Instead, she patiently coaxed it:
"If you want more food, come with me. You might lose your freedom, but you'll get an endless supply of delicious food."
[Pfft! Freedom versus food—if you say that to a dog, it might choose food without hesitation. But it's a wolf king with a high level of intelligence; how could it possibly choose food over freedom?]
The wolf king looked wise; it wasn't stupid. It could steal food from human settlements, but freedom was a lifelong commitment! Freedom was priceless!
At this moment, as someone who lives like a beast of burden, I deeply empathize! We may not be able to enjoy delicious food, but we will definitely be deprived of our freedom!
The comments section seemed to strongly disapprove of Lin Muyan's attempt to lure the wolf king. They might have put themselves in the wolf king's shoes, feeling the clamor of the beasts and the cries of the wolf king's bloodline. Even if they couldn't escape this life of helplessness, they hoped the wolf king could hold onto his freedom.
Lin Muyan pursed her lips speechlessly. Just as she was about to continue persuading the wolf king, it looked at the group of mutated wolves who were still fighting tooth and nail for food, looking disheveled, and then at Lin Muyan and Awen. Finally, it made a decision that went against its ancestors.
The wolf wanted to go with the humans. It didn't want to be like those wild beasts, gnawing on bloody, raw food on the ground; that was anything but elegant.
"Awooo—"
The next second, the wolf king raised its head and let out a long howl.
The wolf howls echoed through the mountains, lingering for a long time. The mutated wolves that had been gnawing on pork and mutton stopped and howled in response to the wolf king.
After a farewell ceremony, the wolf king obediently lay down in front of Lin Muyan, as docile as a mutated beast.
This scene left Xiao Li dumbfounded, and the comments section was also completely overwhelmed.
[Wolf King, you're so foolish! By following Lin Muyan, you'll be ridden every day!]
[This is a gluttonous wolf, confirmed.]
[Oh no, Lin Muyan got her kicks again. Regardless of its strength, this wolf king's charisma alone means it can easily dominate any future wolf packs.]
[A-Bao returns stronger, only to find his house robbed; he'll have to cry like a cat.]
Lin Muyan never expected that, despite all her calculations, the wolf king would actually care so much about food.
It seems she's encountered a gluttonous wolf who can't compromise on food, leaving her unsure whether to be happy or sad.
