Chapter 85: Chapter 84 Wolf Queen?

Atop Wolf King Slope, Da Hui, covered in wounds, struggled to climb to the highest part of the slope and howled at the moon for the last time, knowing he would not live until the Wolf King returned.

The mother wolf, Aqing, nestled beside Da Hui, howling alongside him, bidding her final farewell.

A few oblivious wolf cubs thought it was fun and yipped as they tumbled over Da Hui’s tail, only to be chased aside by two other adult wolves.

Suddenly, Da Hui, gazing at the moon, spotted a small black dot.

He weakly blinked his eyes, only to see the black dot growing larger while a familiar voice sounded.

"Da Hui!"

"Owoo~ Owoo~" It was the Wolf Queen! Wuu wuu! Tears the size of beans began to roll down Da Hui’s moist eyes.

As soon as Mu Ying jumped off her broom, Da Hui cried and laid down on the ground, although he had maintained a regal posture before, weak but insisting on standing to howl.

"Alright, stop crying, you’re not going to die," she said, patting poor crybaby Da Hui’s head.

Though Da Hui was seriously injured, his wounds didn’t seem extensive. They looked like he had been whipped by something and his belly had been punctured—blood seeped continuously from the coin-sized hole.

All were external injuries, Mu Ying placed her hand over the wounds, two Healing Truths resolved it, then she applied Life Magic, which also took care of the weakness from excessive blood loss.

"Wuu~" Drama-filled Da Hui hadn’t reacted yet, and just wanted to cry out all the grievances of this period.

Aqing couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped hard on Da Hui’s belly.

"Ow!" Murdering her own husband!

"Ow?" It doesn’t hurt anymore?

Shi Yin collectible, unable to watch anymore, revealed itself, huffing as it flew onto Da Hui’s head, fiercely plucking fur.

Da Hui caught the scent of the king and instantly behaved, not daring to act mischievously.

"Owoo Owoo!" I was wrong, I won’t pretend to be pitiful in front of the Wolf Queen again!

Mu Ying, who had been curiously eavesdropping on the wolf pack’s conversation, looked perplexed, "What the hell is the ’Wolf Queen’?"

Although she was very familiar with this pack of wolves, and they shared an understanding, she hadn’t understood the specific meanings of their howling before.

But now that she had started using animal conversation on herself, these wolves, being somewhat smarter than other animals, conveyed their meanings very clearly. Yet, she hadn’t expected to hear such bizarre things.

"Owoo Owoo——", you—

Blabbermouth Da Hui had only spoken halfway when pain from the top of his head interrupted him.

"Alright, it’s all good now, everyone go and rest," Mu Ying said with a stern face, waving her hand and grabbing a small collectible trying to sneak away behind Da Hui’s head.

Only after the other wolves had descended the slope did she ask, "What happened?"

Shi Yin collectible tilted its head, its shiny big eyes blinking, hoping to charm his way out.

Being just a small avatar, why should he bear the consequences of what his main body did?

"Stop pretending, do I need to read you the effect of this ring? Player Manual has identified it clearly," Mu Ying unhesitatingly ignored the few mosaic patches in the item information.

"!" Shi Yin collectible widened his eyes in surprise, nervously rubbing the hem of his clothes, has she figured it all out? Am I officially acknowledged?

His little cheeks flushed rapidly, his ears trembling shyly.

Mu Ying grew even more puzzled, why was he blushing?

He timidly took out a little blackboard, his head lowered as he took a long time to draw, even his fingertips reddened.

By the time he finally finished drawing, he lifted it above his head.

Seeing the heart filling the entire blackboard and Shi Yin collectible’s face so red it could nearly steam, Mu Ying realized everything.

"..."I had no idea you had such intentions towards me.

Mu Ying cleared her throat with a cough and suddenly understood some of Shi Yin’s past strange actions.

Upon looking at the ring’s item information again, Mu Ying was shocked.

[Shi Yin’s Companion Contract (Unilateral)]

[Quality: Orange Myth]

[Effect 1: Avatar. The avatar formed from the heart and Wolf Brush, visible only to both parties at any time, shares thoughts and feelings with the original]

[Effect 2: Shared. In case of danger, it is possible to briefly use Shi Yin’s blood ability for spatial movement]

[Other effects become effective after the other party explicitly signs the contract]

[Note: A unique treasure of the Time-Space Werewolf, a rare species in the Universe, already unilaterally bound, non-transferable, the other party may dissolve it at any time.]

This ring turned out to be the Time-Space Werewolf’s companion contract! Shi Yin had already used it on her a while ago? And it was unilaterally bound, which she could dissolve at any time?

Mu Ying couldn’t help but recall the scene when she first asked Shi Yin about the Time-Space Werewolf.

"The inherited memories say that Time-Space Werewolves are loyal and affectionate, and the companion is the werewolf’s anchor in the endless space-time. Once a werewolf signs the companion contract, if they betray it, they will only be lost in the Time-Space River till death, but the contract does not restrain the werewolf’s companion."

The young boy, still not good at controlling his tail and ears, spoke softly, stealing a glance at the girl beside him.

"What? That contract seems really unfair to Time-Space Werewolves! Silver, you better be careful when choosing a companion, it’s better to stay single forever than to be betrayed by a companion! If something happens, you must come to me, I’ll help you fight back!"

The girl sternly advised, her face serious.

"Mhm~" the boy’s face quietly flushed.

"Why are you blushing?" the girl thought of something, worried he might not be clear-headed later on, she recounted a long story of deception and betrayal, and stealthily switched the gender roles.

"Got it, anyway, you will never betray me, right?" the boy’s voice, somehow trembling.

"Of course," the girl patted her chest, her character was definitely guaranteed.

Mu Ying’s memories returned, realizing that Shi Yin might have been eyeing her for a while now, her face blushed a light pink.

Upon further thought, she didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage, Shi Yin completely grew on her adorable points, and with this contract that entirely benefited her, perhaps she was the one getting the better deal?

However, Mu Ying was certain that her feelings for Shi Yin were more of friendship and even familial, and although she didn’t dislike the idea of it evolving into romance, it hadn’t reached that step yet.

Besides, given the current situation, she wasn’t in the mood to talk about love and romance.

Mu Ying quickly calmed down, "How long does a Time-Space Werewolf live?"

Figurine Shi Yin scratched his head and silently drew one circle after another on a small blackboard.

"Good, we are both far from adulthood. Let’s grow up first, understand? Don’t get distracted by these thoughts while your true self is accepting the inheritance."

Mu Ying was afraid love would cloud his mind, making him give away the partner contract so easily, even to her, would have been too hasty.

Figurine Shi Yin hung his head down. Was he being rejected?

Seeing his dejected look, Mu Ying said helplessly, "Before adulthood, we are not considering dating, and you should do the same!"

Elves become adults at over a hundred years old, and Time-Space Werewolves are similar. Early dating is not advisable.

Shi Yin’s ears twitched; did this mean he was not completely without hope?

He nodded vigorously, his mouth almost reaching his ears.

The youth in the starry sky quietly clenched his fist.
