Chapter 62 – If Mr. Gray Wolf was really cursed, how could she be fine even after staying in his cave and sleeping on the same stone bed as him? (2)
When Ruan Qiuqiu went out this time, she wasn’t hopeful. She knew that Mr. Gray Wolf had been abandoned by his tribe, and she might not get anything by going there. Even so, she still wanted to try.
The main scenes in the novel had all taken place in the Wind Lion Tribe’s caves and the forest near it. The Fire Wolf Tribe was barely mentioned.
And so, Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t possess the superiority that a prophet would have. She didn’t know Fire Wolf Tribe’s exact location or if it would be easy to get along with the wolf demons in the Fire Wolf Tribe.
It had been almost a week since she had married over here, and Mr. Gray Wolf hadn’t gotten any wolf demon or human visitors. From this, she could tell that her husband didn’t have peaceful relations with his tribe.
Those wolf demons might have thought Mr. Gray Wolf had eaten her…
As Ruan Qiuqiu was thinking about this, she slowly made her way south with the wind blowing against her.
10 minutes became 20 minutes, 20 minutes turned to 30 minutes, which turned to an hour…
Ruan Qiuqiu was already exhausted, but she hadn’t seen any traces of the The Fire Wolf Tribe.
After walking for almost another half hour and Ruan Qiuqiu was reasonably suspecting that she had walked in the wrong direction, she finally saw a snow-covered hillside with several caves in the distance. Those caves seemed strewn at random, but they weren’t far apart.
Ruan Qiuqiu exhaled and squeezed her nose that was almost frozen. “… Am I finally here?”
She hesitated for a moment before wrapping the spear in her hand with an animal skin and stuffing into a gap in her backpack.
She approached the closest cave. When she was about 20 meters away from the cave, she saw a frowning young wolf demon opening the animal skin curtain at the entrance. He looked quite frightening as he walked out.
“Who is it? I’m resting today, not hunting.” That wolf demon’s cursing came to an abrupt halt when he came out of the cave and saw Ruan Qiuqiu, who was standing by the entrance. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. “F*ck, why are you still alive?”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”
She somewhat nervously raised her head and got a clear look of the wolf demon in front of her. He was the youngest wolf demon in the group of four wolf demons that had gone to Wind Lion Tribe and exchanged 300 catties of salt for her. However, those wolf demons seemed to treat her an inanimate object and didn’t share their names.
Ruan Qiuqiu grasped her hand and forced herself to smile. “Yeah, I don’t know why I’m still alive either…”
Although she said these words, she thought; she was still alive. Mr. Gray Wolf hadn’t eaten her. Gray wolf Tianluo had even protected her.
The young wolf demon looked over Ruan Qiuqiu. Seeing that her torn animal skin clothing was patched with different colored animal skins and her emaciated body, he laughed and looked at her with fake sympathy.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t want to pay attention to his ridicule. She very calmly said, “I came here to trade for food and herbs. Can you tell me where I can go to trade for medicinal herbs used to treat demons? I brought blocks of salt.”
Right after Ruan Qiuqiu said these words, the young wolf demon raised his eyebrows. “You want to trade for medicinal herbs used to treat demons?”
He smelled the strong scent of Yuan Jue on her body. Alarmed and with post-traumatic stress, he took a few steps back. His tone became nasty as he said, “What? That blind trash wolf isn’t dead yet? How could he need a human to come here to trade for herbs for him?”
“I thought he already died and you came here to seek shelter out of desperation.” The young wolf demon’s tone was sarcastic.
The face that had originally looked sunny and youthful to Ruan Qiuqiu now looked extremely ugly.
Ruan Qiuqiu’s eyes turned cold. She tightly pressed her lips together. Her voice was chilly when she said, “My husband isn’t trash.”
It was obvious that the young wolf demon hadn’t expected her to say those words. He was utterly dumbfounded for a few moments before he reacted with loud laughter.
His loud laughter attracted the wolf demons and humans that lived in the nearby caves. Over a dozen people came out of their caves and looked over here.
They were all wearing soft animal skins that looked much warmer than what she and Mr. Gray Wolf were wearing. Their expressions looked cold and unkind.
Seeing that other demons had come out, that young wolf demon deliberately raised his voice. “Did you guys hear her? This human wants to trade for herbs for our trash chief!”
