Little Man covered her mouth, her voice a mixture of awe and surprise. "Nan Zishi, you’re so charismatic! This gray wolf male actually just knelt to you."
The surrounding Beastmen parted to make way.
Nan Zishi knelt down, leaning in to examine his injuries. "Lift your head."
The Silver Wolf male obediently raised his head. She looked at him, and he looked back at her.
Sunlight spilled down, sharply outlining her silhouette.
Her jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her eyes were like deep pools, inviting exploration.
Her features were delicate and small.
Her skin was completely different from five years ago—fair, smooth, and clean.
’It’s been five years. She’s become so beautiful.’
He could smell her breath from up close.
His fists clenched again.
The tall male met her scrutinizing gaze.
’Right now, I’m not only covered in injuries, but my face is also covered in pustules. I’m hideous.’
Five years ago, he and his brother had also judged her unfairly based on her appearance.
’Now, if she finds me disgusting and rejects me, I’ll feel it’s only right.’
’But I want to go with her. I want to return to her side.’
"You’re pretty ugly," Nan Zishi said.
The male lowered his head.
"Do you really want to come with me?" Nan Zishi asked.
Wolf Day nodded.
"Fine. I’ll take you with me."
Nan Zishi stood up and looked up at Bao Fei. "Bao Fei, I can take him, right?"
Bao Fei replied, "You can if you want. But this male already has a master, so he can only be a Beast Slave at best. And he looks really ugly. Are you sure?"
’He’s a male who’s already had a master?’ Xuan Jin, who had been radiating killing intent from the side, reined in his hostility.
’Since this ugly wolf has already had a female master, he’s not a threat.’
’His little female... taking in a few slaves isn’t a big deal.’
Nan Zishi replied nonchalantly, "He wants to come with me, so I’ll take him. If he lives, he’ll be a Beast Slave. If he dies, I’ll just bury him."
Bao Fei said, "Alright, since you’ve decided, go ahead and take him."
With that, he glanced at the register and announced, "Lang Ce, you may now go with Lady Nan. Even as a Slave Beast, you must work hard."
Wolf Day stood up, his head bowed, looking somewhat humbled.
"Lang Ce, can you walk?" Nan Zishi asked.
"Yes."
"Then let’s go."
Nan Zishi walked at the very front. Xuan Jin followed half a step behind her, radiating a cold aura. Lu Ming was about half a step behind Xuan Jin, and Wolf Day was at the very back.
Wolf Day was a Beast Slave, so he could only walk at the rear.
He clutched his wounds, every step a struggle.
But it was the most determined he had ever walked.
They returned to Nan Zishi’s cave.
Nan Zishi took out a few antibiotics and a Detoxification Pill. "Lang Ce, take this medicine."
Wolf Day took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.
Nan Zishi asked Little Deer, "Lu Ming, is it okay if he stays in your old cave?"
"Of course."
Nan Zishi then said, "Lang Ce, you can live in the cave next door."
Wolf Day lowered his head. "As you command, Master."
In a family clan, Beast Slaves held the lowest status. They weren’t even qualified to call a female "female master" and usually lived on the outskirts of the main cave, addressing the clan’s females as "Master."
Since he was just a Beast Slave, Xuan Jin couldn’t be bothered to concern himself with him.
In fact, he had already finished mining their quota for the month.
But he wanted to dig up some more Beast Crystal Stones and Blood Stones, so he went out to mine.
「 」
Outside the cave, a few of the rebel army’s core Beastmen were secretly observing the area.
’It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!!!!’
’Our Lord Commander didn’t go to Wolf Jade. He went to this newcomer female, Nan Zishi.’
’Everything’s a mess! The plan is ruined!!’
’Nan Zishi doesn’t have a witch doctor, and the one we secretly arranged to get in can’t reach her. Our Lord Commander’s injuries are so severe... is he going to die?’
’She’s really treating our Lord Commander like a Beast Slave, making him live in such a small cave outside the main one.’
’A cave that small is for cubs, isn’t it...? How can our Lord Commander, with his large frame, possibly fit in there?’
’What are we going to do?!’
Xuan Jin, who was busy mining, glanced outside.
’Besides his own Wandering Beastmen underlings who were always peeking toward the cave, there now seemed to be a new batch of Beastmen from who-knows-where, constantly glancing in this direction.’
When Nan Zishi gave Wolf Day the antibiotics and Detoxification Pill, she had only intended to treat the pustules on his face. Unexpectedly, she had hit the mark by a fluke, and the medicine happened to work on the injuries covering his body.
Wolf Day sat inside Lu Ming’s small cave, resting with his eyes closed.
"Lang Ce!"
The strong Silver Wolf slowly opened his eyes. He strode into the adjacent cave.
His attitude was reverent. "Master, you called for me?"
Nan Zishi was sitting inside the cave.
Those who were familiar with her would find her amiable and approachable.
But in reality, how could the aura of a female who had spent a long time with a Beast King be gentle?
She sized up the "gray wolf male" before her. "Let me ask you a question. What crime did you commit to end up in the mining area?"
The gray wolf before her kept his head down and said, "Fighting."
Nan Zishi’s eyes lit up. "You know how to fight?"
Wolf Day’s voice was slightly hoarse. "A little. Is there someone you want me to beat up?"
"You’ll beat up whoever I tell you to?"
’Five years ago, she wouldn’t even spare two words for him.’
’She was always so distant. Just having a conversation with her was a luxury.’
’I never expected that now, as her Beast Slave, we’d actually be talking more.’
"Yes. Point them out, and I’ll beat them down."
’Surprisingly obedient.’
"I don’t need you to beat anyone up right now. I’m thirsty."
Wolf Day answered instantly, "Wait here. I’ll go get water."
He strode out of the cave. As he brushed past Xuan Jin on his way out, Nan Zishi watched him for a good while, until he disappeared completely from sight.
「 」
After Wolf Day limped away from the cave, the few rebel army Beastmen secretly surrounded him.
"Lord Commander, how are you? We’ve been worried sick!"
"How are your injuries?"
Wolf Day: "Much better."
It was strange. His injuries, which had been steadily worsening, had actually shown clear signs of improvement after he took the medicine Nan Zishi gave him.
"L-Lord Commander... we should still go see the witch doctor."
"No need."
"Where do I get water?" Wolf Day asked.
"Huh?" One of the Beastmen quickly said, "We’ll go get it! We’ll go right now."
"I didn’t ask you to get water. Tell me where it is. I will go."
Wolf Day limped off to get the water.
"I’m a Beast Slave from Lady Nan’s household, here to get water for my female."
The Beastman in charge of the well saw that he didn’t have a single patch of unblemished flesh on his body and was very rude to him.
"Such an ugly slave. Go on, get your water and get out."
After drawing water with a crude wooden bucket, he carried it back toward Nan Zishi’s cave.
As he walked through the mining area, the Sin Beasts there eyed him covetously.
"Look, that ugly slave seems to be that female’s new slave."
In the mining area, even being a female’s Beast Slave was more comfortable than being a Sin Beast, so these males were jealous that someone so ugly had become the Beast Slave of such a beautiful female.
"Let’s go snatch his water."
"Yeah, let’s go."
Several Sin Beasts from the mining area surrounded Wolf Day.
"Hey, ugly slave! Hand over the water and the bucket!"
The rebel army Beastmen following from a distance were frantic.
"Where did these blind fools come from? How dare they try to bully our Lord Commander!"
"Damn it, I’m gonna go beat them up!"
"The water?" Wolf Day said flatly. "Come with me. I’ll give you the water and the bucket."
