Jin Wenting has a secret that no one knows.
Jin Wenting is the fourth son of Emperor Xinglong of the current dynasty, Prince Heng, and has just been appointed as the heir apparent.
He was born at a time when the current Emperor Xinglong had not yet ascended the throne, had just declared himself the King of Yan, and was fighting tooth and nail with other princes.
He was neither the eldest grandson nor the youngest son, but at the time of his birth, Emperor Xinglong dreamed of a fierce black wolf entering his dream. After waking up, the Yan army then won a great victory in an extremely important battle.
Emperor Xinglong was overjoyed and believed that this grandson was an auspicious sign, so he specially named him "Wenting".
—To inquire about the court, to aspire to the throne.
The King of Yan's ambitious aspirations were laid bare.
Jin Wenting was indeed extraordinary. He showed a talent for martial arts from a young age, went on expeditions with his father, and made great achievements. Among Emperor Xinglong’s dozen or so princes and grandsons, he was the one most valued by Emperor Xinglong.
However, Jin Wenting had a secret that he found difficult to talk about, a secret that he could only keep hidden in his heart and dared not reveal to the outside world.
That is...
Suddenly, the snow-covered branches in front of them were parted, and a boy's thin voice rang out in surprise!
"There's a wolf cub here!"
Jin Wenting made a fierce, growling warning sound from his throat, and struggled to move his four wobbly paws backward, trying to hide in the snow.
However, the seemingly oblivious young boy was not afraid of his sharp teeth and claws at all. He nimbly reached out, grabbed the back of his neck, and pulled him out of the snowdrift!
What audacity!
"Awooo—"
He was furious and opened his mouth to bite her hand.
—That's right, this is Jin Wenting's secret that he finds hard to talk about.
He will turn into a wolf cub.
Whether it was related to the ferocious black wolf that appeared in the dream of the Prince of Yan when he was born, Jin Wenting discovered that he would occasionally turn into a wolf cub after he turned ten!
He was filled with shock, suspicion, and rage, but out of consideration for his grandfather's imperial ambitions, he dared not tell anyone.
He suspected he was possessed by an evil spirit and secretly sought out Buddhist and Taoist masters who had seized the throne. The masters were also helpless. Some people suspected that it was retribution for the excessive killings he had committed when he led his troops, but Jin Wenting scoffed at this.
Fortunately, this transformation didn't last long, so he specially had many wolf cubs raised, and each time he transformed, he would sneak in to keep the news tightly under wraps.
Apart from his confidants, even his father and grandfather didn't know.
This time, he heard that there were red cloud snakes in Taizhang Mountain in winter, and that the snake gall might be effective for his strange illness. So he immediately found an excuse to leave the capital and, with his trusted subordinates and friends, traveled thousands of miles to the snowy mountains to search for them.
In order to keep this secret, he didn't bring many people with him, but unexpectedly, the two of them disturbed a hibernating bear in the snowy mountains!
During the fight, his subordinate fell off a cliff, and he unexpectedly turned into a wolf cub, rolling down the snowdrift and landing in a thicket of dead trees, unable to move.
With the slightest movement, his hind leg throbbed with excruciating pain. Based on his years of martial arts training, he judged that his leg must be broken.
But he's a wolf cub now!
A tiny wolf cub, barely a foot long, can barely stand!
He doesn't even have hands, how can he heal himself?
In the past, each transformation would only take a day or two at most. After being shocked and angry, Jin Wenting gritted his teeth and made up his mind to endure these two days. After turning back into a human, he would put on the splints and consider how to leave the snow mountain.
But unexpectedly, before he could change back, he was discovered.
Tong Su smiled as she looked at the wolf cub she was holding. The wolf cub's back was covered in glossy, smooth black fur, while its belly was snow-white. Its fierce eyes were a deep azure blue, like two bright sapphires, and it was extremely beautiful.
