The hovercar quickly drove into a manor dominated by silver and gray tones.
Using their privileges, the crows went directly to a villa with a pointed roof. The crows picked up the person and strode into the villa.
Huo Yu and Feng Liu wanted to follow them in, but were stopped by someone.
"Please follow me to wait elsewhere."
Huo Yu was about to say something when Feng Liu stopped him: "I believe that Mr. Wolf Lord will treat his guests well."
He looked at the person who had stopped them, and the person chuckled, "Of course."
The crow went up to the third floor, the elevator opened, and it turned to the room at the end, where someone was already waiting at the door.
She wore pristine white trousers that hugged her long, slender legs, a white shirt, a gray vest, slicked-back hair, and a pale face.
Several small sandalwood bracelets hung from her wrists, their veins as fine as porcelain.
He was handsome and had an elegant demeanor, like a banished immortal, but a scar running diagonally across his left eyebrow added a touch of ferocity and wildness.
He has fine lines around his eyebrows and eyes, but they don't show his age; instead, they make him look more mature.
If he were out in the public eye, no one would guess that this seemingly Buddhist man is the iron-fisted ruler of the Ninth District's order.
—The Wolf Lord.
"Wolf Lord!" Crow strode over.
The wolf lord turned and led him into the room, gesturing for him to put the person on the bed.
The blood-stained clothes were still wet, staining the light gray bed sheets.
The wolf lord didn't mind the bloodstains on her body. He bent down slightly and reached out to gently touch her forehead with his fingertips.
He stopped after a moment, turned around and said, "You all get out. No one is allowed to come in without orders."
"Yes, ma'am."
Crow and the others left and closed the door.
A crow leaned against the wall by the door, its aura screaming "Keep away."
The wolf master sat down on the chair by the bed, reached out and brushed away the hair that was wet and stuck to her face with blood, his calloused palm gently stroking her forehead and hair.
Gently, one stroke at a time...
Like a gentle, kind person comforting a frightened cat.
The warm palms, carrying the warmth of the afternoon sun, offered a comforting touch.
His movements seemed to form a strange rhythm, and an unseen glimmer of light seeped into the girl's uneasy dreams.
Like a lullaby, like a calming incense.
That peace and tranquility reached even the deepest desolation of the dream, soothing the chaos, dispelling the ghosts, and the glimmer of light restored stability to this chaotic world.
She didn't know how much time had passed before her brows relaxed, but she was still uneasy.
A glistening tear slid down, was caught by a warm fingertip, and gently wiped away.
The wolf king turned around and took a handkerchief and a basin of hot water, wet them, and slowly wiped the dirt off her face.
His movements were gentle and meticulous, and his expression was patient and calm.
He wiped his face and blood-stained hands clean, then repeated the same actions. This time, however, he hummed a song softly.
The lyrics and melody of the song are simple and gentle:
Hmm~~
Spring buds await sprouting.
The orioles sing at the Awakening of Insects.
Spring sunshine awakens,
Yes, it's the prelude to spring...
Spring buds,
It's growing wildly...
He hummed it many times until the little girl suddenly trembled violently and let out a sob.
He gently patted her forehead: "Don't be afraid."
The little girl whimpered twice, then calmed down completely and finally fell into a deep sleep.
The wolf master didn't stop, continuing to soothe the wolf for over half an hour before slowly withdrawing his hand.
He paused as he withdrew his hand, then finally removed the beaded bracelet from his left wrist and placed it beside her pillow.
He rubbed his temples, showing a hint of fatigue, then regained his composure and walked out the door.
“Wolf…” The crow was glared at before it could finish the word.
The crow immediately covered its beak and said, "I know, I'll keep my voice down."
"How is Chang Le?" he couldn't help but ask.
Wolf Lord subconsciously touched his left wrist, only to find it empty: "Asleep, he'll be fine."
The crow breathed a huge sigh of relief: "I'm safe! If anything had happened to her, any one of you would have eaten me!"
He spoke faster, and the Wolf Lord's eyes were filled with a smile: "Knowing to bring the person back, you did a good job."
"Crow!" The crow had no idea what "humility" meant.
"Luo Xuan and Iris tried to steal him away, but I shut them both down."
"You did the right thing." The Wolf Lord didn't hold back his praise. "If you could convince Chang Le to stay in the Gray Area, I would think you were even more impressive."
The crow bluntly stated, "Boss, what you're doing is just making empty promises."
The wolf lord choked.
You're good at reforming the workplace!
The crow said frankly, "You know perfectly well that this is impossible. There are still people in the Dragon Clan waiting for her. She doesn't belong to us."
"No." The crow tilted its head, then, remembering something, changed its tune:
"She is Chang Le, and she belongs to no one."
The wolf lord nodded: "You've grown up. It seems sending you to school was a good choice; you can speak human language now."
The crow gave him a resentful look, then turned and left.
"Going to do what?"
The crow stopped and said, "Go and make sure the others keep their mouths shut, so they don't accidentally blurt out anything that might upset Chang Le."
"I have two more things to entrust to you."
The Wolf Lord stepped forward: "First, call Big White and Little White Flower over and have them take care of Chang Le."
Second, Wanyi already knows Changle is here; go and fetch her.
"clear."
The wolf king went back to check on the little girl's condition and left after confirming that everything was alright.
When he arrived at the study, a stoic-faced subordinate named Cang Yue was already waiting for him.
"Wolf Lord".
Cang Yue noticed the blood on his body and was slightly taken aback: "Do you need to change your clothes?"
The Wolf Lord waved his hand: "It's nothing. Tell me, what did you find out?"
