Chapter 10: Why wasn't she running away? (1)

The snow was stained red by the blood, and the cold air was filled with the heavy stench of blood and rot.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s legs felt weak. She squeezed the animal skin bag and nervously raised her head to look at the wolf demon that had suddenly appeared by the cave.

That wolf demon was covered in blood.

His animal form was huge. Even with him crouching, he was nearly three meters tall. He blocked the small entrance to the cave with his body. She had to lean her head back to see his entire body.

It was a scarred body...

There were big and small sinister-looking wounds on his back. Some of the wounds had crusted over with blood, and some of them looked very fresh with blood dripping out. The blood matted the fur on his back into unsightly patches of black.

The giant wolf’s front paws were plunged deep into the snow, and the left hind leg ended at a bare bone. Blood and pus was dripping down from it.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s lips were trembling. She looked at the giant wolf that was within five meters of her. His hackles were raised, and he was baring his teeth. He let out a low growl that was rich with warning.

Hearing that this low growl was the same one she had heard earlier in the forest, Ruan Qiuqiu immediately determined this giant wolf, who had a deep wound that stretched from his left forehead to underneath his right eyelid, was her husband.

Her wolf husband, who was disfigured, crippled, on his deathbed, and said to be blind.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s palms were sweaty. She felt frozen in place.

It was only...

Mr. Big Bad Wolf narrowed his almost blind eyes. He slowly stretched out what little was left of his demon consciousness and clearly “saw” the deathly pale Ruan Qiuqiu that was standing in front of him.

Was this human truly stupid or was she too scared to move? His animal form was so scary. Why wasn’t she running away?

Didn’t she know that if she was standing in front of another demon who’s stomach was rumbling with hunger and had no morals, she wouldn’t have lived past three seconds?

The author has something to say:

Today:

Mr. Big Bad Wolf: “I’m not interested in copulating. Gross.”

A few years later:

Ruan Qiuqiu kicked a certain wolf off the bed. “Didn’t you say this is gross?”

Mr. Big Bad Wolf: “...”

Translator Ramblings: I think Ruan Qiuqiu is so exhausted from lack of sleep and the forced march over here that her response to danger is muted.
