Chapter 155 - 152: We Are Going to Find Her

「Five years ago, inside Silver Wolf Village.」

After giving birth to Little Wolf Envy, Nan Zishi lived a peaceful life, recuperating in her cave.

The two Silver Wolf Brothers lived in a nearby cave with the little wolf cub, and they would both glance toward Nan Zishi’s cave from time to time.

After the prejudice in Wolf Ye’s heart gradually disappeared, he finally noticed that his female master, Nan Zishi... was actually quite wonderful.

"Brother, do you think she’s still mad at me?" Wolf Ye asked Wolf Day.

"I admit I was wrong to call her ugly back then. If I go and apologize to her, will she forgive me?"

"You called her ugly?" Wolf Day said reproachfully.

"No, no, I just thought it," Wolf Ye explained hastily. "But even if I only thought it, she must have sensed it. That’s why she hates me so much."

While feeding the cub with beast milk, Wolf Day asked Wolf Ye, "You don’t think she’s ugly anymore?"

"Actually, she’s very beautiful."

Wolf Ye leaned against the head of the bed, gazing at her cave, hoping she would make an appearance at the entrance.

"At first, I was a little unhappy because we were forced to mate, so my opinion of her was very unfair."

"Looking at her now, she’s different from the other females in the tribe. She’s not ostentatious, her life is very disciplined, and sometimes she comes out to exercise. She’s not pretentious at all."

"No, that’s not it either."

The young man, experiencing the first stirrings of love, blushed slightly. "I don’t know what’s so good about her specifically. I just... I just want to see more of her."

Loyalty and devotion are carved into the very bones of the Silver Wolf Clan. Wolf Day knew that after Wolf Ye’s confession today, he had truly given her his heart.

"Then go and tell her."

Wolf Ye quickly shook his head. "I can’t."

"Are you shy?"

Wolf Ye nodded, then shook his head again. "She’s still mad at me. If I tell her I like her now, she won’t accept it."

"Besides, didn’t she promise to have a cub for me? I’ll take that opportunity to make things clear to her."

"I’m looking forward to it, a real mating."

Hearing this, Wolf Day’s hand, which was teasing the cub, paused slightly.

A sour feeling unexpectedly welled up in his heart. What was he feeling sour about?

The feeling was too unfamiliar.

Wolf Ye said, "Brother, I now think the village chief made the right decision in having us both mate with Xiao Nan! If we brothers both love the same female, we’ll never have to be apart for our entire lives!"

After Nan Zishi had rested for a month, the Childbirth System started beeping, urging her to mate and have a child.

She cursed a few times before saying impatiently, "Nag, nag, nag. Can’t you see I’ve already chosen my Beast Husband? What’s there to rush?"

She walked into Wolf Day and Wolf Night’s cave, glanced at the cub inside, and her heart softened. Then she quickly looked away.

"Wolf Ye."

"Female master!" Wolf Ye’s tail began to wag uncontrollably behind him.

Nan Zishi said, "Go take a bath. We’re mating tonight."

The young Silver Wolf’s brain immediately overloaded, and he stared blankly in a daze.

Nan Zishi remembered this Silver Wolf’s temper. Thinking he might still dislike her appearance, she asked, "You don’t want to? If you don’t want to, I won’t force you."

"No, that’s not it! I’ll go get ready right now."

As Wolf Ye turned around, Wolf Day saw that his younger brother’s face was completely red.

That night, Wolf Ye went in to mate, and Wolf Day, as a fellow Beast Husband, stood guard at the entrance.

Wolf Day couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

It was like the taste of an unripe green fruit he had eaten as a child.

Sour and astringent, a numbing discomfort.

’Strange, have I also started to care for her so much without even realizing it?’

Halfway through their mating, Wolf Ye ran hastily out of the cave before he could even pull up his pants.

Wolf Day stood up and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong?"

"Brother, Brother! Xiao Nan fainted! I... I didn’t mean to!"

That same night, the tribe’s witch doctor urgently examined Nan Zishi. The witch doctor said angrily, "She just gave birth a month ago! She needs to rest for at least two more months before she can mate! Wolf Ye, why were you in such a hurry?"

"She’s so thin and her body is weak. You’re such a big Silver Wolf, how could you be so rough!"

Wolf Ye listened to the scolding with his head bowed, lowering it further and further.

Finally, the witch doctor said, "Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. She’ll be fine with some rest."

After the witch doctor left, Wolf Ye was restless. He whispered, "Was I really too strong? I couldn’t control myself..."

"Her waist is so slender, I was afraid of breaking it. I was being very careful."

"I don’t have to have a cub. Brother..."

Wolf Day let out a long sigh.

Wolf Ye hadn’t even confessed his feelings, and then he ended up knocking her unconscious during their official mating.

When would the misunderstanding between him and Xiao Nan ever be cleared up?

After Nan Zishi woke up, Wolf Ye felt he had done something wrong and didn’t dare to see her.

He punished himself by kneeling for a full day and night.

Nan Zishi woke up in a daze and only saw Wolf Day. ’That guy Wolf Ye really must hate me,’ she thought. ’He ran off as soon as the mating task was complete.’

’Pah. What an irresponsible, rotten male!’

As Wolf Day took care of her, he asked, "Xiao Nan, how are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

Nan Zishi sat up and shook her head. "I’m fine."

Wolf Day poured her some water, and Nan Zishi took the cup and drank.

She slowly began to count up her experiences on this journey in her mind.

Her first mated male was Mr. Eagle; she didn’t know his name.

Her memory of the second mated male was growing increasingly vague. She couldn’t remember who she had contracted with, but she knew she had indeed contracted a male and given birth to a cub.

The third was a young apprentice to the Priest of the White Fox Clan who wore colorful makeup; she didn’t know his name.

The fourth was a pitiful, ragged Little Mermaid named Lanxing.

The fifth and sixth were them, the Silver Wolf Brothers, Wolf Day and Wolf Ye.

After she gave birth to Wolf Ye’s cub, she would only have one left to complete her mission.

Her mindset was much more relaxed now, completely different from before.

Nan Zishi gave Wolf Day a smile. "Besides hunting, what do you guys do for fun?"

"Fun?" Wolf Day thought for a moment. "Does playing in the mud count?"

"It counts. I didn’t expect you’d still be playing in the mud at your age."

Wolf Day blushed a little. ’Did I just reveal a really embarrassing hobby?’

"Oh, right, how’s the cub? Is he well-behaved?"

Wolf Day cherished this time with her. He asked cautiously, "He’s very good. Do you want to hold him? I can bring him over."

Nan Zishi quickly shook her head. "No, no, it’s enough that he grows up healthy and strong. Wolf Day, I’m destined to not be a good mother, so you have to be a good beast-father."

Speaking of which, although she had been deliberately cold to Wolf Day and Wolf Night, both brothers were devastatingly handsome!

They were tall, with sharp, handsome features.

They had good tempers, too; no matter how much she acted out or threw a tantrum, they never got angry with her.

And they were really... long-lasting...

Nan Zishi’s body wasn’t actually in as bad a shape as the witch doctor had said.

But when she was with Wolf Day, she had been on the verge of fainting, and Wolf Day had probably sensed her condition and stopped.

Wolf Ye wasn’t as perceptive as Wolf Day, so...

She really hadn’t expected that she would actually pass out.

’How utterly humiliating.’

...

「In the cave at the mining area.」

Wolf Ye explained, "Five years ago, the tribe ran out of salt. As the tribe’s warriors, my brother and I were tasked with a mission to go to the great sea and trade for salt."

Wolf Day continued, "Wolf Ye and I calculated your due date and desperately tried to rush back before you gave birth. But we ran into trouble on the road. By the time we returned to the tribe, the village chief told us you went into labor early, gave birth to Little Mu, and left after resting for only a day."

"After you left the Silver Wolf Tribe, Wolf Ye and I discussed going to find you."

...

「That year...」

After Nan Zishi left without a word, Wolf Day and Wolf Ye were extremely worried.

"Why did she leave? Is she still mad at us?"

"She’s so small and thin. What if she gets eaten by a wild beast?"

"She doesn’t even have the ability to hunt. What will she eat without us?"

"Brother, it must be because I wasn’t there when she gave birth! That’s why she’s angry! It’s all my fault! I’m so worried about her. Did she leave on her own, or was she captured by a bad Beastman? Where in the world is she right now?!"

Wolf Day made an immediate decision. "Wolf Ye, we’re going to find her!"

"But we still have Little Xian and Little Mu to take care of."

"We’ll entrust Little Xian and Little Mu to the village chief for now. The chief values Silver Wolf descendants and won’t treat them poorly."

Wolf Ye hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Okay."

That night, Wolf Day and Wolf Ye temporarily entrusted their two young cubs to the village chief.

The two brothers began their long journey to find their mate, but they could never find her.

The Silver Wolf Brothers returned to the tribe, dejected and disheartened. They once again handed over all their belongings to the village chief, asking the village to help look after their two cubs.

"We have to go find Xiao Nan," Wolf Day said to the village chief. "She is our female master. She is more important than our own lives."

Wolf Ye gave all the Beast Skins, Beast Teeth, hunted meat, and everything else to the village chief.

"Will you come back?"

Wolf Ye lowered his head. "After we find Xiao Nan, we will come back. We’ve failed our cubs."

The village chief couldn’t bear it and said, "But, what if you find her, and she... she still doesn’t want you? What will you do then?"

Wolf Day said, "Even so, we must find her."

"Chief, no matter the outcome, we will have no regrets."

"That’s right. No regrets."
