"roll."
Xie Xiao's smile widened. "Don't worry, I'm willing but unable. If you need anything, you'll have to handle it yourself."
Li Ruo: ...Why do I suddenly feel an urge to punch someone?
However, after his reminder, she became extra careful. It was a bit dark inside, so she didn't dare to go too deep and hid behind a rock to change her clothes.
Xie Xiao wondered if she really had a powerful accomplice who had prepared everything for her.
What kind of person is he?
Just then, I suddenly heard an "Ah" from inside.
Xie Xiao's expression changed, and without thinking, he got up and rushed inside.
One minute ago...
Li Ruo quickly took off her wet clothes, changed into a bra she took out from her space, and put on her pants. Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound coming from a dark corner behind her, accompanied by a whimpering sound, and there was more than one of them.
She turned her head and glanced towards the source of the sound. Suddenly, several pairs of eerie green eyes appeared from the darkness, and she instinctively exclaimed "Ah!"
Just as he was about to back away, someone grabbed him and pulled him into a hard chest.
Xie Xiao was unaware that she wasn't dressed yet. He paused for a moment, restraining himself from glancing around, and pulled her behind him. At the same time, the owner of those pairs of eyes gradually became apparent.
Are there a few... uh? wolf cubs? And they're white.
Li Ruo stared at them for a while. Were they really wolf cubs? Each one weighed only three or four pounds, so they must have been born recently and were very weak.
My eyes have adapted to the darkness, and I can see more clearly now.
There are six in total!
They were even more frightened than she was, huddled together and trembling.
Those whimpering sounds are what they make because they're scared.
"Tch, you're scared of this?" someone scoffed, but didn't dare turn around.
I'm afraid I'll be buried here.
Li Ruo quickly put on her inner garment and outer robe and stepped forward, lighting a tinderbox. The little creatures became even more terrified, staring at her pitifully with their round eyes.
Xie Xiao glanced at her, feeling a little regretful. "They must have been washed here by the water. They've probably been separated from their mother wolf for many days. Look how thin and weak they are."
“I’ll take them back and raise them.” Li Ruo’s eyes sparkled as if she had seen a treasure: “Look, they also have six babies in one litter, just like your sow.”
Xie Xiao: "...What? My sow?"
Li Ruo looked up at him, "Huh? Weren't you supposed to be unable to move? How come you got up so quickly?"
Xie Xiao gritted his teeth, "If you had shouted even a little quieter, I wouldn't have moved an inch."
"Alright, you may leave now."
"Ha!" Once she relaxed, everything went black before her eyes, and Xie Xiao suddenly fell onto her.
This time it wasn't an act; he was genuinely deficient in blood and energy, and completely exhausted.
Li Ruo caught him quickly, saying, "I'll teach you to stubbornly pretend."
As she spoke, she pulled his hand around her shoulder, hoisted him back onto the blanket by the stone, and hastily wrapped him in it. "Rest for a while, I'll go catch those six—"
Her hand was held.
Li Ruo was taken aback. "What?"
