Chapter 149

Snow Rainbow is a rare sight, and before long, a pack of wolves emerged from the house.

From afar, numerous black dots appeared on the snowy peaks, followed by the echoing howls of wolves.

Shang Xi tightened her coat as she descended from the "cruiser," hand in hand with Gu Wen.

Upon hearing the howls of their kinsfolk, the werewolves returning home also lifted their heads and began to howl.

"Howl, howl, howl!"

"Howl!"

"Howl!"

Shang Xi couldn't understand what they were conversing about, but Gu Wen just smirked lightly.

Shang Xi caught the amusement in his eyes and hurriedly asked, "What's funny? What are they saying?"

Before Gu Wen could respond, Shang Xi saw wolf packs rushing out from the snowy peaks, some in pure human form, some with upright ears and tails, displaying all four forms.

Female werewolves, male werewolves, cubs.

Howls, speech, and footsteps mingled into a cacophony.

"What? Did the Gu family head return with partner and cubs?"

"Howl, howl, I knew there'd be a Snow Rainbow!"

"Look, howl—look, howl—"

"Howl! Howl!"

Shang Xi watched as a large group of werewolves ran towards them, feeling a kind of... awkwardness akin to visiting her boyfriend's hometown for the first time, surrounded by neighbors of all ages.

Unconsciously, she tightened her grip on Gu Wen's hand and straightened her posture.

In a short span, hundreds of werewolves appeared in Shang Xi's sight, of all ages and genders.

However, most of them had youthful faces, with the oldest looking no more than in their sixties in human years.

They stared at Shang Xi while howling at Gu Wen.

"Howl, howl, howl!"

Gu family head, is your partner a pure human?

"Howl, howl, howl! Roar, roar, howl, howl!"

Gu family, did you bring back wife and children?

"Howl, howl, howl, howl, the cub is so cute!"

Some could even speak fluent human Mandarin, murmuring to each other, "This pure human is quite good-looking."

"I've been to the human world, and this pure human is the beautiful kind."

Gu Mother smiled and approached, taking Shang Xi's hand gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, they mean no harm."

Then she turned to the chattering wolf pack and said, "Everyone, this is my second son's partner, Shang Xi, a beautiful and kind human girl."

Shang Xi nodded slightly towards the wolf pack, "Hello, everyone."

Gu Mother held the cub and smiled, "These are their cubs, five years old."

The wolf pack howled, clapped, and cheered.

"Howl, hello, Shang Xi!"

"Howl, howl! Welcome back to Snow Mountain."

"Shang Xi, your name sounds really nice."

"Little cub is home. Howl, howl!"

"This cub is just like his wolf father when he was young, such a good cub."

Shang Xi was initially nervous and embarrassed, but under the kind welcome brought by the wolf pack, she gradually relaxed.

Ahead of the wolf pack, there were also a dozen or so cubs, all pure wolves, with four small paws stepping on the snowy ground, looking colorful and curious, none of them pure-colored, all staring at Baby Shang.

Baby Shang was in human form, being held by his grandmother, with his big eyes, sharp in black and white, also staring at them.

"Little one, do you want to go play with them?" Aunt Gu gently asked, stroking Baby Shang's hair.

Baby Shang scratched his head and turned away, "No."

That's what he said, but as he was being carried away by his grandmother, he turned his head and glanced at the group of cubs.

The cubs looked at Shang Xi, then at each other, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Shang Xi had never seen the things hanging on the walls.

Gu Wen led Shang Xi back to his room, and Shang Xi looked out the window, estimating it to be around the twelfth floor.

That floor had two living rooms and three rooms.

In the living room, there were sofas, translucent white stone tables with snowflake patterns carved on them, very beautiful.

On the white stone table, there were wooden carvings of giant wolves, snow stone carvings of giant wolves.

And...

A pink plastic hairband that looked out of place and cheap caught Shang Xi's eye.

Shang Xi was stunned.

Slowly walking over, she reached out and picked it up.

"You actually kept it..."

Gu Wen pursed his lips and admitted, "Lost it a few times."

Shang Xi looked up at him, "But you still picked it up in the end."

Gu Wen said, "Luckily, I did pick it up."

Its owner had also returned.

Gu Wen's eyes darkened, and suddenly he hugged her sideways and walked towards the room.

His deeply loved partner appeared in his territory, making him inexplicably restless and excited.

Shang Xi's face turned red.

"It's still daytime now!!"

"What does it matter." Gu Wen kissed her, his breath heavy, his tail emerging and wrapping around her restless hands.

"Mom, Grandma... They..."

"They won't come up." Gu Wen held her tightly, smiling lowly.

"Shang, I'm very happy."

"The owner of the hairband has returned, the person I couldn't find after running around so many places in the past, has returned."

With a kiss, Shang Xi's eyes became misty.

Newlyweds, tinder and fire, on the verge of ignition.

The room was filled with ambiguity.

Downstairs.

At the entrance, Baby Shang stood in the snow, watching a group of colorful cubs hiding behind the snow peak.

Furrowing her little brows, Baby Shang strode forward with her short legs. The group of wolf cubs continued to murmur amongst themselves.

"His mother is a pure human, so he shouldn't be much of a threat to us, right?"

"Is he pure white? Let's turn him into a pure wolf to see. Pure colors are so beautiful."

"Wait and see, he's new here, he'll get bored and come to us to make friends."

"Just because their family is powerful, so what?"

"We're not going to be friends with just anyone."

"Hmph, exactly."

"What are you guys talking about?" A young voice sounded, tinged with a hint of coldness.

The wolf cubs, gathered in a circle, froze for a moment, then their eyes lit up with excitement as they approached, fawning over her: "Wow! You really came out?"

"Are you pure white? You must look so pretty, right?"

"Play with us, okay?"

"I'm six years old, how old are you?"

Baby Shang: "..."

These guys, they really have two faces, huh?

Baby Shang: Heh, intriguing.
