"Is your so-called greeting just telling us to stand still? If I don't say anything to you and just tell you to stand still, would you be happy or worried?"
Snow Wolf has really been asking for trouble lately, and Shen Miao gave it a good scolding.
The snow wolf, no longer retaliating after being scolded, lowered its head. Shen Miao assumed it knew it was wrong, but no one knew that a chilling killing intent was clearly hidden in the snow wolf's lowered eyes.
After they resumed their journey, everything was normal. The snow wolf remained as close to Shen Miao as ever, showing no resentment whatsoever, which made Shen Miao feel very gratified.
They stopped for a meal midway through their journey. Shen Miao heated up the food, while Qing Chen took the water bag to fetch water. Taking advantage of Shen Miao's inattention, the snow wolf quietly followed them.
Qingchen walked quite a distance before finding a well. He took out his water bag and began filling it with water.
Suddenly, he felt a murderous intent coming from behind him and instinctively dodged to the side. Then he turned around and saw the ferocious face of the snow wolf. Qingchen was confused and angrily shouted, "Snow Wolf, what are you doing?"
The snow wolf didn't speak. After missing its first attack, it pounced again. Qingchen wasn't on guard, and with this pounce, he was directly knocked into the well by the snow wolf.
The well was surrounded by a ring of hard stones. When Qingchen fell in, the back of his head hit the stones hard, and he felt a blackout before he passed out.
The snow wolf threw the water bag into the well, pretending that nothing had happened, and returned to Shen Miao's side.
Shen Miaofan had finished cooking. Seeing it return, she asked, "Where's Qingchen?"
"I don't know, didn't he go to fetch water?" Snow Wolf looked completely innocent.
Shen Miao was puzzled. He had been gone to fetch water for so long, he should be back by now. She stood up and waited for a while, but still there was no sign of Qingchen. She couldn't help but worry.
"Snow Wolf, you wait here, I'm going to find Qingchen."
The snow wolf stopped her and advised, "What are you looking for? He's not a child. If he can't find his way, why would you need to look for him? He'll come back on his own. Don't make things difficult for him."
Normally, Shen Miao would have noticed something was off about what she was saying, because Xue Lang had never said anything like that before.
But today, she was too worried to notice and absentmindedly said, "You're right, then let's wait a little longer."
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Shen Miao stood up abruptly and said decisively, "I can't wait any longer, I have to go find him!"
Snow Wolf still stopped her. Shen Miao frowned and asked in confusion, "Snow Wolf, what's wrong with you today? I said I was going to find Qing Chen, why are you stopping me? Do you know where he is? Yes, I remember now, not long after Qing Chen left, you followed him. You went to the same place, didn't you?"
Under Shen Miao's relentless questioning, the snow wolf couldn't hold on and became completely withdrawn.
Seeing this, Shen Miao understood immediately. She became increasingly anxious, but her face remained calm. With a hint of coaxing, she said, "Snow Wolf, tell me honestly, what happened? Did you encounter a strange beast?"
"No," the snow wolf denied.
Shen Miao immediately asked, "Then why did you come back, but Qingchen didn't?"
"I don't know, don't ask me." The snow wolf tried to run away.
Shen Miao reacted quickly, grabbing its large head: "Don't you know why you're running away? Look at me!"
The snow wolf's eyes darted around, and the whole wolf seemed somewhat agitated.
"Tell me the truth, where did he go?!"
In her haste, Shen Miao shouted out, then suddenly her gaze sharpened as she stared at the snow wolf's paw, tearing off a small piece of fabric from it: "What is this?"
The snow wolf shrank its neck, not daring to raise its head, and Shen Miaoxin felt a chill run down her spine.
She pointed at the snow wolf with her finger, and without saying another word, she chased after Qingchen.
"Qingchen, Qingchen, where are you?"
Shen Miao shouted loudly, her heart filled with anxiety.
She didn't know what had happened, or why there were pieces of Qingchen's clothes on the snow wolf's claws, but her intuition told her that something must have happened to Qingchen.
Shen Miao ran and shouted, but received no response.
The snow wolf, who had followed them unnoticed, said, "Chen Miao, don't bother looking anymore. Qing Chen ran away on his own. He doesn't like you at all. He's gone to find other female beasts."
"Shut up!" Shen Miao turned her head and roared fiercely.
The snow wolf shuddered, but still mustered its courage and said, "What I said is true. He really ran away. I didn't tell you the truth just now because I didn't want you to be sad."
"You're lying!" Shen Miao said, enunciating each word clearly. "Your expression, your body language, all prove you're lying. Snow Wolf, you'd better not have done anything to Qing Chen, otherwise, I won't let you off!"
After Shen Miao finished speaking, she turned and left.
Snow Wolf harbored resentment, but didn't want Shen Miao to find Qing Chen, so he kept following Shen Miao, saying things to distract her and leading her astray.
Shen Miao, unable to bear it any longer, attacked the snow wolf.
Under her dual supernatural attacks, the snow wolf could not withstand the onslaught and retreated step by step. Shen Miao remained expressionless, released a burst of spiritual power, and knocked it unconscious.
Before collapsing to the ground, the snow wolf's eyes were still full of resentment.
Shen Miao ignored it and let it faint on the ground. She continued to look for Qing Chen. Without the snow wolf's interference, Shen Miao found him very easily this time.
She found signs of a struggle by a well, and quickly went forward. Sure enough, she saw a person floating in the well with his eyes closed and his face pale. Who else could it be but Qingchen?
"Qingchen, Qingchen!"
Shen Miao called out several times, but Qing Chen did not respond. It was unknown how long he had been unconscious.
The thought that Xue Lang knew Qing Chen's situation and still tried to stop her in every way made Shen Miao feel a murderous urge.
No, it can't be that simple. Maybe Qingchen became like this because of the snow wolf. Shen Miao gritted her teeth.
Forget it, I'll deal with it after she rescues the person!
Shen Miao looked around, found a bamboo pole, and slowly brought Qingchen over. Once Qingchen was on the side, she bent down and pulled him up.
"Qingchen, Qingchen!"
Shen Miao patted Qing Chen's face and noticed a bowl-sized wound on the back of his head. Her heart sank.
"Qingchen, hang in there, you'll be alright, trust me!" Shen Miao said, trembling, as she began performing CPR on Qingchen.
She pressed for a long time, but Qingchen did not respond. He lay there quietly, as if he had already lost his breath.
No, don't die!
Shen Miao screamed inwardly, and drops of water fell from her face, she couldn't tell if they were sweat or tears.
"Wake up, please," Shen Miao reached out to touch Qingchen's neck again, but whether it was because she was too anxious or what, she didn't feel any movement, and her heart sank again.
