Chapter 97

C97 – Goodbye Wolf King

Lee Xiulian sensed a weight on her heart. With her looks and physique, she could easily captivate any man with a mere gesture.

However, Zhang Xiaoloong stood out amidst the abundance of attractive women surrounding him.

Notable figures like Yang Jingjing, previously residing in the Zhang household, and Chen Yaru, who seemed eager to be close to him, went unmentioned. Even “Elder Sister Yan,” who catered Zhang Xiaoloong’s meals, possessed exceptional beauty.

Though of similar age, the other woman seemed notably more delicate, perhaps owing to her urban upbringing. Moreover, the allure in her eyes was unattainable to Lee Xiulian.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

In comparison, Lee Xiulian felt she had little to offer. If men were to be nourished by these women, who would choose her—a flower confined to someone else’s vase?

“Elder Sister Lianzi, let go!” Zhang Xiaoloong pleaded, swiftly wriggling free from her grasp with both arms.

Due to his superior mental fortitude, even he looked down on _. He dared not pause, lest he succumb to temptation once more.

“What’s the matter? Did you notice those two newcomers? Do you find them more attractive than me?” Lee Xiulian inquired, her tone tinged with sensitivity. “Don’t worry, I won’t stand in your way if you pursue other women. As long as you grant me a child, I won’t trouble you in the future. And if... if you desire it later on, I can accommodate you too.”

“No, no, no,” Zhang Xiaoloong hurriedly clarified, retreating further as Lee Xiulian approached. “That’s not what I meant...”

“Then what is it? Weren’t you quite enthusiastic yesterday?” Lee Xiulian recalled Zhang Xiaoloong’s fervor, barely halted by Zhang Daniu’s untimely interruption, which prevented her clothes from being torn.

“I simply can’t,” Zhang Xiaoloong insisted adamantly, shaking his head vigorously. “Elder Sister Lianzi, I’ll promise you anything else, but I truly can’t do it!”

Lee Xiulian gazed at him briefly before darting away, her emotions uncertain.

Observing her departure, Zhang Xiaoloong felt a slight sense of relief. He had clung to her earlier out of fear of yielding to temptation and acting impulsively.

Confronted with a woman willing to fulfill his every desire, he remained steadfast in the face of temptation. He’d rather assert his refusal than succumb to wrongdoing.

Shortly after Liu Mei’s departure, Hong Yan arrived with a sincere and unassuming young man, presenting him to Zhang Yang.

“This place remains your family,” Hong Yan smiled. “He’ll be coming daily to gather vegetables from now on.”

“No trouble at all. Sister Yan, you’ve been burdened with this small matter,” Zhang Xiaoloong apologized.

Normally, gaining entry to Jinshi’s restaurant was a daunting task, with queues stretching endlessly. Yet, here he was, necessitating the boss’s personal visit just to fetch the dishes. It was enough to warrant some self-importance.

“Enough with the facade of compliance. Sister Yan hopes your dishes will further enhance Jinshi’s reputation,” Hong Yan’s words held truth. Jinshi’s vegetable dishes had been in high demand lately, with supply failing to meet the needs.

For such quality ingredients, a bit of extra effort was justified.

After bidding farewell to Hong Yan and the young man, Zhang Xiaoloong ventured into the mountains with the young wolf. His mind lingered on repairing the road, hoping for another stroke of luck akin to discovering a hundred-year-old wild ginseng.

Though he possessed a Nine Death Soul Grass King, its value paled in comparison to the rare ginseng. Moreover, the Nine Death Soul Grass had developed consciousness, rendering him unwilling to part with it.

“Awoo...”

Despite its size, the young wolf’s howl echoed with the resonance of a Wolf King’s call.

Before long, the majestic snow-white Wolf King emerged from the foliage.

“Wolf King, have you noticed anything peculiar in the mountains?” Zhang Xiaoloong inquired.

Rare finds often held significant worth. However, insisting on clinging to the extraordinary might require letting go of some treasures.

At Zhang Xiaoloong’s query, the Wolf King swiftly turned and bounded off in a specific direction.
