The next moment, a wolf's howls echoed throughout the entire building.
"Wh-what's wrong with it?"
Chi Rui stared, dumbfounded, watching the scene before him in disbelief.
The she-wolf was roaring at the Wolf King in the cage. Her cries were urgent and fierce, the fur on her pointed face scrunching together.
Ji Qingwu covered her ears. As a mother herself, she knew exactly what the she-wolf was doing.
'What else could it be? Her son had done something wrong, and his mother was giving him a frantic scolding.'
The sound of the howling was so powerful it shook dust from the storeroom ceiling. The murky green in the Wolf King's eyes began to clear, returning to a bright, grayish-green.
The Wolf King lowered its body into a crouch, bowed its head, and gently pressed the tip of its nose against the iron bars.
It stared at the incessantly barking she-wolf and let out a whine that sounded almost like a plea for affection.
