Chapter 20: Then do you want to stay in the wolf race?

Thereafter, the little leopard, Ke Lisi, and the little wolf, Jing Yi, ecstatically revealed the incident that had happened three years ago to Qiao Xi and Ye He, the two who didn’t yet know the truth.

It had been a dark and windy night, the bonfire in the forest had been extinguished earlier. Everyone went to sleep one after another—at that time, Hei Yu and Ke Lisi hadn’t come to live in the forest yet, so the forest was not as lively as it was now. As for why Ke Lisi, who wasn’t present during that period, could act as a storyteller; it was because he felt the story was hysterical. Hence, he’d made Jing Yi tell him several times about it.

That night, Jing Yan had slept on top of the log cabin. Moreover, he was very keen during his sleep.

Suddenly, there were some movements from afar, the black bear and the tiger roared.

Jing Yan opened his eyes vigilantly and his ears shook. After a moment, the python flicked its tongue and crawled out. A wolf fell out from the underbrush and smashed onto the ground.

Jing Yan stood up. At the same time, the tiger and the black bear were entangled with several other wolves. One of the wolves was bitten by the tiger, the tiger shaking its head angrily and then throwing the wolf out of its mouth!

Qiao Xi listened in bafflement. “What happened in the end?”

Jing Yan was still covering his face and pretending to be dead. Ah Xue chuckled. “Qiao Xi, you already know that outsiders need permission to enter this forest. Jing Yan and His Majesty, the Wolf King, had agreed about this long ago. However, if someone doesn’t ask for permission, Jing Yan will not be responsible for their outcome after entering the forest.”

“Um, I know.” Qiao Xi nodded. “Did these people break in without permission?”

Jiao Yue nodded. “Since he was born, Jing Yu had been told many times that he couldn’t enter the forest. Because the queen is in charge of him, and with his majesty’s warning, he never dared to come over and do as he pleased.”

Hearing this, Ye He’s eyes moved. He had already guessed what would happen later.

No matter what, Jing Yu was only a child, and obviously was not a good child as well. So, he endured it until he turned nine years old. He couldn’t resist his curiosity anymore, on top of his dissatisfaction toward Jing Yan, so he sneaked into the forest at night by avoiding the forest guards, accompanied by two friends and three guards.

It was a pity that when they were about to reach the log cabin, they ran into three beasts that were sleeping together.

Originally, the three beasts would not attack crazily. They had been half asleep, and were a little confused when they saw a group of wolves appear out of the blue. Several people around Jing Yu screamed, yet the beasts still didn’t move. It was Jing Yu’s group who made a move instead. It was as if they had been stimulated, a guard roaring, “Go, we can’t let down our guard toward these three things!”

So they attacked the beasts altogether.

The innocent beasts that were attacked went into rage, and the result was obvious—several guys, who were Jing Yu’s companions, were also fighting, yet they were beaten and thrown away by the tiger and the black bear. In addition, there was another one that rushed desperately toward the tiger, but only to pounce directly into the tiger’s mouth.

Qiao Xi: “…”

Ye He: “…”

When Jing Yan heard this, he unexpectedly became energetic. “Right, Jing Yu’s gang is a group of idiots. They only do this kind of silly thing!”

Qiao Xi felt that Jing Yan was paving the way for the upcoming part of the story.

Ke Lisi continued on with bright eyes.

A few wolves and three beasts doddered while battling against each other all the way to the log cabin. Jiao Yue and the others were also woken up by the commotion, but they didn’t show much reaction, thus the lights were still off. Everyone hurriedly got out of the log cabin while the whole log cabin was still dark.

Then the special part of the story arrived—

As mentioned earlier, the tiger threw a wolf out of its mouth.

So, where did the wolf land?

It was dark, therefore the tiger didn’t think when it threw the wolf, it just threw it out in a random direction. As a result, the wolf flew toward Jing Yan—

Concomitantly, Jing Yan was stunned. His mouth opened slightly. The unlucky wolf was once again smashed into a face as Jing Yan subconsciously opened his mouth to grab the wolf. 

Qiao Xi decided not to drink the water first and continued to listen carefully. “What happened after that?”

Jing Yan was holding his breath, his paws kept scratching the ground.

“You know how strong the tiger’s teeth are? It bit the wolf until the wolf was injured. And when Jing Yan caught the wolf in his mouth, he happened to bite the same place where the wolf had been bitten by the tiger!” Ke Lisi said excitedly.

Therefore, blood splashed on Jing Yan’s face, and it was also this moment that the forest guards arrived. The lights were turned on and everyone’s gaze fell on Jing Yan.

A black wolf stood on top of the log cabin with a similar kind in his mouth, looking at everyone below him with a bloody face.

“Ah!!!” Jing Yu was scared out of his wits, and fainted right away.

“Hahaha!” Speaking of this, Jing Yi couldn’t stop laughing. “You didn’t see my brother’s expression at that time. It was so funny, he was even more frightened than Jing Yu!”

“Don’t you know how disgusting the blood in my mouth and on my whole face was?!” Jing Yan said angrily, “Also! What had I done?! That injured wolf hadn’t been beaten by me in the first place?! Just how many prejudices about me are out there as a result of that little devil, Jing Yu, wailing like a ghost?!”

“Hahaha, but when the wolf flew into your mouth, no one saw it because it was too dark. When the light was on, everyone saw you biting the wolf. I was also shocked! And you even sprained your ankle when you jumped down! Hahaha!” Jing Yi laughed while rolling on the ground.

Jing Yan was so furious because of shame. At that time, he had been so absent-minded that he’d sprained his ankle, okay?! This was simply his black history! Absolutely a black history!

Ye He said slowly, “So you have a black history, not just because of today—”

Jing Yan: “Auwoo! Auwoo! Auwoo!” Don’t talk about it anymore!

Qiao Xi: “Oh, oh, oh!” It turned out to be such a thing. He, he thought—

Jing Yan glanced at Qiao Xi in resentment.

It was because Qiao Xi’s imagination about the matter was too extreme that made him not dare to tell Qiao Xi that it was just a stupid matter, the contrast was too big!

He felt wronged, too.

Later, the guards had arrived and were working hard to deal with the three beasts first. The three beasts’ wrath hadn’t subsided yet during that period, so several guards were also injured.

The turmoil continued until dawn. Everyone was summoned to the palace by the Wolf King for rebuke.

Of course, the Wolf King had handled the matter by making a clear clarification. Unfortunately, many people didn’t see the true scene that night, so they thought this was just an excuse made by the Wolf King for his eldest son.

What’s more, after Jing Yu woke up, he was left with a psychological shadow by Jing Yan’s bloody appearance. Therefore, he told people everywhere that he had seen Jing Yan eat raw meat with his own eyes. It was also because of this reason that in some areas, the rumors became more and more exaggerated.

Jing Yan had been indifferent to outsiders since his mother died. For people in the palace, Jing Yan, who had always sealed himself in the forest, was very unfamiliar with them.

As soon as this incident occurred, Jing Yan’s image in people’s eyes became more terrible. The assumption that Jing Yan was the most ruthless wolf in the wolf palace spread. Even for Jiao Yue and the others; as long as they stood with Jing Yan, people would fear them as well.

Qiao Xi smiled, then he couldn’t help laughing.

He knew that there must be some people that added fuel to the fire.

Noticing Jing Yan’s gloomy look, Qiao Xi stretched out his wings and touched the black wolf’s head.

Jing Yan complained pitifully, “This thing is not funny at all!”

“Mhm, it’s indeed not funny!”

Since this was said, Ke Lisi and the others stopped laughing.

Jing Yan’s mishap was truly hilarious. However, some people in the wolf palace only loathed it.

“But it isn’t a good thing, right, for the rumor to spread like this?” Qiao Xi asked carefully.

“It doesn’t matter.” Jing Yan said lightly, “No matter how I explain it, people who don’t believe, still won’t. Actually, it doesn’t matter whether those people believe it or not. You don’t have to pay attention to them.”

Jiao Yue and Ah Xue nodded in agreement.

This was Jing Yan’s self-confidence as the wolf prince. The other reason was also because of the unrestrainment and willfulness of these friends who lived with him in the forest.

The people that were truly affected by the whole situation didn’t pay attention to Jing Yu’s trick.

After listening to the story about the incident from three years ago, Ye He smiled at them before drinking some water.

Qiao Xi’s eyes curved up when looking at Jing Yan and the others.

With this group of people, there was always a strong sense of insurance, which made him think from the bottom of this heart that everything was fine.

Serious topics never lasted long. These people didn’t like to create such an atmosphere during the bonfire dinner. So Ke Lisi hurriedly changed the topic, and everyone began to chat happily.

“Prince Ye He, are you going to stay here tonight?” Jiao Yue asked.

“Are there enough beds?” Ye He asked.

Qiao Xi said, “You can sleep with me.”

Jing Yan said furiously, “This can’t be! He will sleep with me!”

Qiao Xi wondered why Jing Yan’s reaction was so big. The two seemed to have some secret again, so the little chicken puffed up and said, “No, Ye He is my friend. He will sleep with me!”

Jing Yan was shocked, he refused hastily, “No way!”

Upon seeing this, Jiao Yue said directly, “Alright, Prince Ye He will sleep with me and Ah Xue.”

Ye He raised his hands. “I’m fine with anyone.”

Only then did Jing Yan’s tense body relaxed. In a flash, he was called by Jiao Yue to discuss something.

Ye He looked at the angry little chicken in front of him.

Qiao Xi stared at him. “How many things are you hiding from me?!”

Ye He smiled. “You will know it one day.”

Qiao Xi wanted to ask more but Ye He had already asked him first, “Qiao Xi, is your family treating you badly?”

Qiao Xi was stunned.

“I guessed it.” Ye He said with a lazy tone, “When you were in school, I felt that you and your family had very little contact. Your problem in the wolf race should have nothing to do with Jing Yan but Jing Yu. He is the one that made you end up here?”

“Mhm…” Qiao Xi lowered his head and forced a smile.

Seeing that Qiao Xi didn’t want to say more, Ye He asked, “Should I help you get revenge?”

Qiao Xi was taken aback, then he hurriedly said, “No need, Jing Yan has already helped me!”

“Oh…” There was a smile in Ye He’s eyes. “Then do you want to stay with the wolf race?”

“What?” Qiao Xi was startled.

Ye He looked at Jing Yan’s backfigure, his lips arching up. “If you don’t want to stay here, you can go with me.”
