Chapter 165 The Wolf King Questions His Life
"Qin Yan, are you insane?!" Like a raging lioness, she struggled desperately and pounced on Qin Yan. "She stole my opportunity! She ruined my life! You won't help me kill her, and you want to let her go?!"
Seeing that Qin Yan remained unmoved, she turned and glared at Xia Qianqian, her eyes filled with such venom that they seemed to drip blood: "Xia Qianqian! You bitch! I'm going to kill you! Once you're dead, Peach Blossom Spring will be mine! Lu Zheng will be mine too! I'll make sure you have nothing!"
Xia Qianqian glanced coldly at Qin Yan, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Don't waste your energy."
Her face was filled with undisguised contempt: "From the moment you agreed to set this trap for Xia Wenwen, it proved that you two are cut from the same cloth, equally shameless! Just looking at your face makes me feel disgusted, and it's an eyesore to even glance at it!"
Qin Yan's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He never expected that Xia Qianqian would still refuse to back down even now!
Remembering Xia Qianqian and Lu Zheng's loving relationship, jealousy mixed with anger burned fiercely in his chest, and his eyes narrowed sinisterly: "You really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
He stepped forward, the torchlight casting a menacing shadow on his face: "This is your last chance! If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless! That bastard in your belly will go to hell with you!"
Xia Qianqian merely glanced at him indifferently, her gaze eerily calm, even carrying a hint of pity, as if she were looking at a clown.
"You..." Qin Yan was completely enraged by her appearance, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Xia Qianqian, you've asked for your own death!"
Seeing this, Xia Wenwen's nostrils flared with excitement, and her eyes gleamed with a crazed light. She seemed to already see Xia Qianqian being burned alive, and a twisted smile appeared on her face.
She thought smugly to herself: So what if Qin Yan likes you, and Lu Zheng protects you? Once you're dead, they'll forget about you completely! When that time comes, as long as I control the space, these two men will eventually be mine!
"Qin Yan! The firewood is ready, hurry up and get started!" Xia Wenwen's voice trembled, half excited and half impatient.
This is a lesson she learned from a bloody experience in her past life—the longer you stay, the more things can go wrong!
If we dawdle any longer, that devil Lu Zheng might show up at any time, and it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again!
Qin Yan closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes had vanished.
He suddenly bent down and slammed bundles of pine resin-soaked firewood down at Xia Qianqian's feet, instantly piling up the withered branches and leaves into a small mountain.
Xia Wenwen held a torch high in her hand, the firelight illuminating half of her face in light and half in shadow, making her look like a hideous ghost face in a temple.
"Xia Qianqian, you've finally fallen for me!" A twisted grin spread across her lips, her eyes gleaming with madness. "The moment I send that torch down, you'll be roasted like a pig!"
She paused, seemingly feeling that this wasn't enough to vent her anger, and deliberately softened her tone, with a teasing, cat-and-mouse tone: "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, maybe I'll be in a better mood and give you a quick death, so you suffer less!"
The terrified screams and kneeling pleas for mercy that Xia Wenwen had anticipated did not happen.
Xia Qianqian remained seated calmly, even tilting her head slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, her eyes clearly looking at a clown.
"Still being stubborn even when you're about to die!" Xia Wenwen was so angry and embarrassed by that look that her hand holding the torch trembled.
"You think Lu Zheng will come to save you? Let me tell you, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he won't find this cave in this desolate wilderness! By the time he does find it, all he can do is collect your ashes!"
Xia Qianqian coldly squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Idiot."
"You're asking for it!"
Xia Wenwen's anger was completely ignited by the word "idiot," and she raised her hand to slap Xia Qianqian across the face.
Awoo!
A mournful wolf howl suddenly rang out at the cave entrance!
The sound was so close it seemed to be right at the cave entrance, only a few steps away from them!
Xia Wenwen was terrified, her hair stood on end, and the torch in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, scattering sparks everywhere.
The two turned around abruptly and saw a wolf king, as big as a calf, standing at the entrance of the cave. Its eerie green eyes stared intently at them, and a strong, pungent stench wafted towards them, making them almost nauseous.
The wolf king pushed off the ground with its hind legs and pounced towards the two like a black lightning bolt!
"Help!"
Xia Wenwen had never seen anything like this before. She was so frightened that she tried to escape from the cave as fast as she could.
But she had only taken two steps when a gust of wind came from behind her. Qin Yan darted in front of her like a rabbit and, in order to seize the escape route, kicked her hard in the lower back!
The kick was both fierce and accurate. Xia Wenwen cried out "Ouch!" and fell forward, rolling exactly in the direction where the wolf king landed!
"Qin Yan, you're not human!" Xia Wenwen was both shocked and furious, her teeth almost grinding to powder. This beast was clearly trying to use her as a shield, trying to make her feed this vicious wolf!
Xia Wenwen's heart sank into an ice cellar. She had long known that Qin Yan was cold-hearted and selfish, but she never expected that he could be so ruthless at the critical moment of life and death!
They were husband and wife in their past life, and she thought she had seen through his true nature, but it turned out that it was just the tip of the iceberg!
But it's too late to say anything now.
The wolf king's massive body was already on top of her, the scalding, fishy smell assaulting her senses, its sharp claws almost digging into her flesh.
Bloodstains, still wet from the hunt, clung to the corners of its mouth and were now dripping onto her face.
"No--!"
Xia Wenwen's scream caught in her throat, and the next second, an indescribable fear gripped her limbs.
"Pfft—"
An unpleasant thud was followed by a foul stench that instantly filled the air.
Xia Wenwen was so limp that she lost control of her bladder on the spot! The filth flowed down her trouser legs, piling up on the ground and emitting a nauseating odor.
The wolf king was clearly taken aback, a hint of human-like astonishment flashing in its eerie green eyes.
It looked down at the puddle of filth, then looked up at Xia Wenwen, who was slumped on the ground, and its brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
The next second, it seemed to have stepped on something dirty, and it took two steps back, its face showing undisguised disgust.
Then, it shook its head, as if trying to shake off the stench, and walked straight past Xia Wenwen toward Xia Qianqian in the corner.
As it approached Xia Qianqian, its massive body instantly became docile. It gently rubbed its head against the back of Xia Qianqian's hand, letting out a pitiful "whimpering" sound. Its eerie green beast eyes were full of accusation, making it look like a wronged child.
