When Xiao Linglang came out from the pile of rotten vegetable leaves, she was extremely disgusted with herself. She picked off the leaves that were stuck to her body with a bitter face.

Xing Qiu held the water in both hands and washed the things on his face. He turned back with a refreshed look and saw Xiao Linglang squatting beside him, pinching her nose and vomiting. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and muttered softly, "Squeamish."

"Bixi, I want to take a bath." Xiao Linglang raised her misty eyes, her eye circles were red, as if she had been bullied by someone.

"Then you should think about it carefully." Xing Qiu said in a calm tone, reaching out to pick off the vegetable leaves stuck on the back of her head, and stood up to pull out a heavy package from the vegetable leaves in another slop bucket.

She reached out and weighed them, and found that the gold and silver jewelry were still there. They were all taken by her quietly from Xiao Linglang's pile of jewelry.

"My name is Xing Qiu." Xing Qiu raised her face and stretched out her hand. "Miss Xiao, it's time for us to set off. Hurry up and go. Maybe you can take a bath soon."

Xiao Linglang was slightly stunned when she looked at the woman in front of her who had taken off her disguise and had a cold, heroic face.

"Why, you can't recognize it? Or are you stunned?"

Xing Qiu touched her face. Was the difference so big? She knew that her original appearance was hard and not as delicate as a girl's, but she shouldn't be so surprised!

She asked with her chin raised proudly.

Xiao Linglang blinked her eyes, shyly placed her hand on Xing Qiu's hand, and used the force to stand up, "I was stunned, Xing Qiu, your name is Xing Qiu."

"Yes." Xing Qiu led Xiao Linglang over and helped her sit on the back of the horse that had just been unloaded. He carried his bag on his back and sat behind her. He lowered his head and said to the female wolf standing by: "Follow me. We will pass by your original home ahead. We will say goodbye then."

The she-wolf howled softly, as a sign of agreement.

"drive!"

Xiao Linglang sat on the horse's back and still felt a little unreal.

Is she really going home?

She reached out to grasp the reins and was patted by the person behind her. The back of her hand felt slightly painful, but Xiao Linglang was not annoyed. Instead, she let out a long sigh and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Xing Qiu originally wanted to take Xiao Linglang to walk faster, but horses would get tired. In order not to arouse suspicion, she deliberately got an old horse. In addition, she was afraid of being caught up if they took the main road, so they took the small road and the horse walked even slower.

To make matters worse, before we even reached the wolf's habitat, it gave birth.

While Xing Qiu picked up the midwife's job, she glared at Xiao Linglang sinisterly.

She had to go on this journey with such trouble. If she was caught and brought back, she would cry.

Xiao Linglang noticed that Xing Qiu was upset, so she pursed her lips and squatted aside to avoid disturbing her.

Seeing the look she gave him, he twisted the hair on his clothes guiltily and smiled awkwardly to please her, "Thank you for your hard work, sister."

Xing Qiu snorted in her heart, what is she laughing at? Does she think that if she smiles at her, she will forgive the trouble she has caused?

"There is dry food in the package. I wrapped it in several layers. It has no taste." She told Xiao Linglang stiffly, her eyes fixed on the mother wolf who was having difficulty giving birth. It had been a while, but the cubs just wouldn't come out.

"Oh well."

Xiao Linglang thought Xing Qiu was hungry, so she hurriedly opened the package in her arms. The moment the package was opened, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly composed herself, unwrapped a few layers from another small package, and handed the biscuit to Xing Qiu's mouth.

Xing Qiu glanced at Xiao Linglang, lowered his head and took a big bite of the cake. After chewing it, he chewed it again, "You eat it, go sit over there, to prevent the blood from rushing to you."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid." Xiao Linglang didn't dare to look around. Smelling the bloody smell at the tip of her nose, her stomach couldn't help but churn. She pressed her throat hard. If she vomited again, she would be in danger.

Xing Qiu watched the mother wolf giving birth with difficulty, deep wrinkles appeared on his brows. He glanced at the pancake in Xiao Linglang's hand, then retracted his gaze and looked back.

"Miss Xiao, tear off a piece of cake for it."

"Ah."

Xiao Linglang tore off a large piece of cake and handed it to the wolf's mouth. After putting it down, she quickly withdrew her hand.

He squatted beside Xing Qiu motionlessly, looking at the mother wolf with shining eyes, hoping that it could overcome the difficulties.

The she-wolf looked at them and did not eat the cake. She looked at the sky for a long time and then let out a roar.

"Awoo~" The soft sound of a baby's voice echoed in the silent forest. The exhausted mother wolf lovingly licked the only surviving wolf cub.

Xing Qiu, who had just delivered a baby, turned into a funeral procession. He took a sword and prepared to dig a hole nearby to bury the two stillborn fetuses of the mother wolf.

She kept her eyes on Xiao Linglang and the mother wolf, and her hands were ready to attack at any time.

Sure enough, as she expected, after the mother wolf fed the cubs, she began to look at them with a wary eye.

Xing Qiu held the sword, and his aura was terrifying.

"Xing Qiu, it's crying."

Xiao Linglang's soft and trembling words dispelled all of Xing Qiu's vigilance.

"...?"

Xiao Linglang swallowed and was very nervous. She blinked and looked at the female wolf approaching her with some fear.

When it came closer, Xiao Linglang saw the tears in its eyes. She was shocked and looked at Xing Qiu hesitantly.

The mother wolf seemed to sense that her end was near. She nudged her wolf cub with the tip of her nose and looked at the girl in front of her with complicated and expectant eyes.

It smelled the scent of the person who hurt its husband on this person, and that this person seemed to have a baby. It wanted to avenge her husband, but it no longer had the strength, and its cub had to survive.

It did not smell any malice from the person in front of it, but the smell made it very scared. A struggle flashed in the mother wolf's eyes. She turned back to lick her child, and finally let out a long howl towards the sky.

The little wolf cub returned to the tribe. Without protection, its only child with her husband would not survive. The person in front of her seemed to be the best solution.

Xiao Linglang took two steps back, swallowed her saliva, and watched vigilantly what the mother wolf was going to do.

Until she saw the mother wolf nudging the staggering little wolf cub in front of her with her nose, her alert eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. She pointed at her nose and stammered to the mother wolf: "Give it... to me?"

The mother wolf couldn't bear to look at her cub. She couldn't protect it anymore, so she could only find a shelter for her cub within the possible range.

"Ouch——"

After a wolf howl, Xiao Linglang's eyelashes trembled. She looked helplessly at the mother wolf whose eyes were blurred, and murmured, "Xing Qiu, it entrusted its cub to us. Did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have let you let it out, killing it and its cub."

She knelt in the wind, holding the little wolf cub, looking miserable.

"It should be more than just the queen of wolves, it should be the king of the wolf among the female wolves. It has its own pride and is difficult to tame. Even if we don't save it, Tuoba Jin won't get the wolf cubs. It will bite them to death one by one in that cage."

Xing Qiu caressed Xiao Linglang, whose eyes were filled with tears, and tilted his head, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Why... did it give the wolf cub to you?"
