When they heard a howl of a wolf, Xue Lin instantly stopped walking and prevented Ge Chen from going further as well.

"It's okay, they won't harm you." Ge Chen's voice was as calm as water. He wasn't afraid at all.

"Are you sure? They are carnivores." Xue Lin still hesitated.

Ge Chen assured her, "Yes, I'm sure. They are my pet after all."

Xue Lin frowned. "Why are you acting like they are some kind of domestic animals?" She pulled him back as he tried to move forward.

Ge Chen chuckled. "I'm impressed that you know that they are carnivores."

"This is the basics of general knowledge." Xue Lin grunted. She still didn't move.

"Are you having a hard time walking? Why don't I carry you?" Ge Chen exactly knew why she didn't move but he wanted to tease her a bit.

"No need! I can walk just fine." Xue Lin tightly held his wrist and pulled him with her.

Ge Chen noticed her legs were shaking and he held back his laughter. They walked hand in hand and heard the wolves' howls from time to time. Seeing Xue Lin shiver, he said, "Just relax, they won't attack you unless they are ordered by me."

Xue Lin looked at him with a wary gaze, "Are you threatening me?"

Ge Chen cleared her misunderstanding by saying, "That's not my intention. All I'm saying that they won't dare to harm you."

"I know they don't attack people without a reason. They are not as devious as humans after all." Knowing human nature, she could say that animals were more trustworthy than humans.

"What if they are hungry?" Xue Lin couldn't imagine what would happen then.

Will they still listen to Ge Chen if their stomachs are empty?

Xue Lin couldn't stop herself from speaking, "What do they usually eat?" She tried to hide her nervousness by talking.

Ge Chen casually replied, "Human meat."

"You are joking, right?" Xue Lin drily laughed.

"..." Ge Chen smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Xue Lin's face became ghastly pale. Even if he was joking, she couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped walking forward and pulled his hand. "All right, we have walked enough. Let's go back." She turned around and dragged him with her.

"There is no need." Ge Chen was still calm.

Xue Lin didn't want to listen to him. "No, I'm not feeling okay. Let's head back."

"It's too late."

He didn't have to say that. She could already see a few pairs of glowing eyes in the dark. She halted and took a step back. They were completely surrounded.

Ge Chen caught her waist with his free hand and whispered in her left ear, "It's okay, I'm here. They won't dare to touch you. They are not hungry."

However, his words went over her head. Her whole body was trembling now.

"…" Ge Chen frowned slightly. He was hurt that she didn't have the slightest faith in him. He wanted her to bring her attention to him. So, he used his hand that was around her waist and pulled her to him. When their bodies attached, he kissed the back of her neck.

Xue Lin instantly felt it and her body arch at the front. She started to struggle. "What do you think you are doing in front of your domestic animals?"

Ge Chen spoke in a low tone, "My wife, I'm sad. You don't trust me at all."

His warm breath and voice cause Xue Lin's ears turn red. She said, "It's not about trust, my husband. It's about life and death. Just to make sure that I will leave you behind if I have the chance to escape and let them eat you."

He couldn't help but complain, "My wife, how can you be so selfish?"

"My husband, how can I not when you are the one who brought us here? Moreover, can't you think more positively? I'm brave enough to speak the truth. Just how many people will tell you their hidden plan?"

"Hmm, my wife is brave. You deserve a gift." He planted another kiss on her nape. It was loud enough to make Xue Lin forget about the wolves and make her embarrassed.

"I don't need it. Stop kissing!" She couldn't find a way to stop him. His grip on her was too tight. She could only use her sneaker to step on his foot. She wasn't strong enough to hurt him and he had plenty of experiences like that. Thus, this move didn't help her at all. On the contrary, she got another loud kiss on her neck.

In the end, she screamed, "Ge Chen! I'm getting mad!"

She never called him by his full name. She always called him by 'my husband' or 'Chen'.

Sensing that her mood went upside down due in embarrassment, he didn't tease her further. He didn't kiss her anymore. He only stroked her head and said, "I only did it because I like you."

"For God's sake, can you shut up?" Xue Lin was surprised to see this side of him.

Where did the calm and quiet husband of her go?

Ge Chen finally stopped and looked at those glowing eyes around them. He calmly ordered, "Come here."

One of them came forward slowly and cautiously. It was a grey wolf. Its glowing eyes were carefully observing Xue Lin. The wolf walked till there was a three meter distance between them and him and stopped.

Grrr…

He could either warn Xue Lin not to do anything harmful or greet his master.

Ge Chen quietly said, "This is Si Han. He is the leader of the whole pack. Ten wolves are under him. They are well trained. They don't hurt the people I personally introduce them to. That's why, even if they are hungry and you fall in their hands, they won't attack you. They are as loyal as dogs."

Before Xue Lin could say anything, another wolf came forward and stood beside the leader of the pack. It was a white wolf and looked incredibly beautiful.
