Chapter 2
Chapter 2
He walked slowly down the stairs.
In this mansion, there were all members of the Wolf Clan, both men and women, who saw that [Gu Wen] was doing well and came to rely on him.
However, since they didn't have any special skills, not everyone could adapt well to the human world, so some members of the Wolf Clan would leave and go back to [Snow Mountain] after staying for a short while.
The members of the Wolf Clan who stayed didn't feel good about eating [Gu Wen]'s food and living in his place for free, so they chose to do some chores, sweep the floors, tend the garden, and made themselves at home in [Gu Wen]'s place.
During the day when they were free, they would go out and play. When they got hungry, they would come back here to eat, perfectly content.
Seeing [Gu Wen] come downstairs, they all warmly greeted him.
"Master."
"Master is awake."
"Awoo!! Master, there is a new cub in the mansion!"
"Awoo! Master, you brought a human woman into the house!"
They had come down the mountain after growing up, so when they were in [Gu Wen]'s mansion, they would let their ears and tails show, feeling more relaxed and comfortable.
Unlike [Gu Wen] who grew up in the human world and was used to living like a human. Whether he was outside or at home, none of the clansmen had ever seen his ears.
Some of these members of the Wolf Clan had brown ears and brown tails, while others had red-black ears and red-black tails.
"Master hates humans the most, doesn't he?" asked a woman with red ears and a red tail.
[Gu Wen] glanced at her and said, "Red Tail, go to the room and carry that woman to bed to sleep."
"Okay, okay! Master has given me a task! Haha!" [Red Tail] dashed up the spiral staircase and disappeared from sight.
The rest discussed among themselves.
"Master, can we go take a look at your cub?"
"He's sleeping now, wait until he wakes up."
[Gu Wen] sat in the dining room. On the huge plate was a piece of beef the size of a basketball, sliced open with blood dripping out.
He picked up his knife and fork and started eating.
The clan members crowded around him, chattering away.
"Master, is the human woman you brought back pretty?"
"Master, is a human woman's skin really tender?"
[Gu Wen] ate with an expressionless face, seeming unhurried, but the basketball-sized piece of beef was quickly decreasing.
"Master, are you going to marry a human wife? Awooo I'm so envious, I want a human woman to be my wife too."
As soon as this member of the Wolf Clan with black-brown ears and tail finished speaking, [Gu Wen]'s face darkened and he glared at him sharply. "Black Tail, as a member of the Wolf Clan, you should hope that your partner is a female wolf!"
[Black Tail] was unconvinced and muttered, "Master, how can you bring human women home, yet scold me for having no ambition, being hypocritical? Aren't you also going to be with a human woman?"
[Gu Wen] sneered coldly, "Who said I'm going to be with her? I would never be with her in my lifetime. I had a child with her just because of an accident back then."
[Black Tail] was shocked. "She's the one, the human you decided you would rather be alone for life than be with?"
[Gu Wen] continued eating coldly, "Who else could it be?"
"Master, is that woman very ugly? Is that why you reject her so much?" asked a man with green-black ears and a green tail very curiously.
[Gu Wen]'s mind involuntarily recalled the scene from last night - that woman had red-rimmed eyes working hard to hold back her tears, and she had bitten her full lips until they turned very red...
Ugly? Beautiful?
It doesn't matter.
He casually hmm-ed.
Everyone started jeering, "She's really that ugly? I really want to see just how ugly she is. We'll get to see her later right!"
"Master is so pitiful, awooo, I don't mind that you're no longer loyal. Come, be with me instead." Taking courage, a female wolf with blue-black ears and blue-black tail teased the master.
[Gu Wen] was expressionless. "No need."
[Black Tail] lamented, "I really like human women."
The male wolf with brown ears pouted, "Me too, but they ignore me awooo. With great difficulty, I hunted a giant boar in the mountains, bled it dry, took the best piece of meat, and delivered it to her doorstep before dawn, yet she screamed and ran away."
[Gu Wen] listened expressionlessly, then suddenly sneered coldly, "You all just came down from the mountain a few years ago. Yet you have already learned these kinds of things in human society? So easily seduced?"
[Brown Tail], "Hehe there's no other way. Human women are just too cute."
[Black Tail], "There are so few female wolves, and they only like the strongest males who are the best hunters and most well-built. Master, those of us who are destined to be eliminated might as well try our luck with human women instead."
[Brown Tail] nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right. Although Master is no longer loyal, you are so powerful and mingle so well in human society. There are still many female wolves in the clan who don't mind, like [Red Tail], right? And [Blue Tail] would be willing too, right? Even the famous beauty of Snow Mountain, [White Tail], confessed to you before, didn't she?"
"Master, you don't know blessings when you see them, awooo."
[Gu Wen]: ......
He stood up, his face ugly, "Do you guys want this blessing or not?"
He hated humans, yet somehow got involved with one. He valued loyalty so highly that even if the female wolves didn't mind, he would feel sorry for them and couldn't get past his own principles.
He was destined to be alone for life.
Yet these silly, foolish clan members actually envied him.
But as soon as he finished speaking,
The clan members shouted, "We want it! We want that blessing!"
[Gu Wen] was so angry he turned around and left for work.
These wolves were hopeless.
On the other side,
With the master's permission, [Red Tail] dashed upstairs to that room with the unique scent.
The scent of a human woman, the sweet smell of milk from the cub.
Awoo!
She charged straight in with too much force and crashed into the table. As the table lamp was falling, she caught it in time.
She covered her mouth, shocked by her clumsiness.
Luckily the cub didn't wake up.
The human woman lying on the ground, ah!! She's awake!
Still groggy, [Shang Xi] saw a figure with big red ears on its head and a big red tail wagging as it ran towards her and carried her princess-style to the bed.
"You...why are you still wearing animal ears?" [Shang Xi] blurrily reached out her hand to feel the warm, soft ears.
"Awoo!"
"Ah!"
The two cried out at the same time.
[Red Tail]'s face turned red as she said, "You can't touch ears!"
[Shang Xi] said in shock, "They're real?".
Then she closed her eyes and fainted.
After all, she had just come into contact with another world and hadn't reacted yet. Being half-asleep, she directly fainted from the shock.
[Red Tail] hurriedly put her on the bed and ran off.
Did she faint because of me? Will Master get angry? Ahhh!
Speaking of which, this human woman seems quite pretty!
She ran halfway then stopped.
She sneakily ran back, squatted by the bed and looked at the woman's sleeping face.
After a while, she stretched out her forefinger and poked [Shang Xi]'s face. Ahhh it's really so tender!
Then she dashed back downstairs.
Only to be surrounded by the clan members.
"Red Tail, seeing how frightened you are, is she very ugly?"
"Tell us, Red Tail, how ugly is that human woman? What about the cub? It must be really cute right?"
[Red Tail] dazedly said, "You'll know when you see her later."
"What's up with Red Tail, did the ugliness make her silly?"
"Or should we sneak a peek?"
"Go ahead if you want Master to send you back to [Snow Mountain]."
"Then let's not."
Suddenly, an aged uncle's awoo came from the kitchen, "Come help me prepare food for that human woman."
[Black Tail] came over, his tail wagging, "What do humans like to eat? What do human women like to eat? I don't know either, uncle."
The man wearing a white chef's uniform was only 32 years old, but he was a full fledged uncle among this group of clan members in their early 20s.
His animal ears and tail were very well-behaved. He had probably been in human society for a very long time. With black hair, a scar across his forehead, broad chest, and thick arms, he gave off a rough manly aura that humans talked about.
He casually said, "Humans like to eat cooked food. As long as it's cooked, it's edible."
"As for Master's cub, get milk, beef, and all kinds of milk powder ready. We also have wolf's milk powder. Go prepare."
They prepared the food early.
On the spiral staircase downstairs, they leaned and sat unevenly to the east and the west, none of them going out.
They just wanted to see what the pure human who had a relationship with the master of the house looked like, and the cute cub, awoo!
They waited until ten o'clock.
A small hungry cub with milk smell still on him appeared at the top of the stairs.
They smelled the scent but this pack of wolves didn't dare to act rashly. They looked up longingly staring at the little ball.
Baby Shang smelled a familiar stimulating scent, it seemed to be the same kind as him. He opened his mouth, baring his little sharp teeth, gnashing his teeth and roaring fiercely: "Awoo!!"
In any case, he had to show his authority first.
The wolves with big ears on top of their heads stopped wagging their tails. After a while, they all responded by falling to the ground.
They were stunned by the house master's cub.
Baby Shang was surprised. Was he that powerful?
There were many people here who were just like him, with ears and tails. He felt inexplicably happy and relaxed.
The chef from the kitchen brought hot milk to the table and called out, "Cub, are you hungry? Come down and eat something. Where is your mom?"
He didn't have ears, tails, or a noticeable wolf scent.
Baby Shang was stunned for a moment. After looking at him for a while, he slowly went downstairs.
"Mom is tired and still sleeping."
He wasn't uncomfortable anywhere now. He just wanted to eat.
The chef made a cup of formula milk, a piece of beef, cucumber cut into strips, and fruit cut into cubes.
Baby Shang was starving. He ate a lot.
Shang Xi slept until twelve o'clock. When she woke up, her stomach felt so empty that her chest and back stuck together. She reached out beside her and her son was gone.
Shang Xi broke out in a cold sweat and ran out barefoot. As a result, at the top of the stairs, she saw her son sitting in the center of the table with a group of "people" with swaying tails surrounding her son.
"Cub, look at my ears, green and black, pretty, right?"
"Cub, look at my big tail, black brown, right?"
"Cub, what color is yours? Show us, okay?"
For a moment, Shang Xi felt like she had crossed over into another world. Was this still the human world?
Suddenly, Black Tail twitched his nose, and Red Tail looked up.
"Wow! The pure human is awake!"
Then...
Shang Xi saw her son quickly crawl off the table and run towards her. She tried her best to restrain her fear, walked downstairs, and hugged her son.
These "people" were just like her son, with ears and tails. For a moment she felt relieved. This proved her son had companions.
About the Wolf Clan that Gu Wen had mentioned yesterday, how did they evolve? They actually grew ears and tails and evolved towards beasts. Was it ancestral reversion?
As it turned out, the accident that night didn't even involve intercourse with a human.
Perhaps all the signs had long been there, giving her a warning.
Over the years, her son occasionally revealed a pitch-black, icy cold gaze. Half a month ago, when her son had a fever one night, he directly revealed small fuzzy black ears and a small tail right under her nose.
At that time after the shock, she had a feeling of "I knew it".
Yesterday when her son was hiding his ears, her heart hurt badly.
She felt that no matter what her son was, it was fine as long as he was healthy and happy.
She hugged her child, turned around to go back and put on shoes, and encouraged herself. When she got to the top of the stairs, she said nervously, "Hello?"
Downstairs was a group of stunned wolf people looking at her.
You call this ugly? Is the master still human?
The master was really unappreciative!
They came back to their senses and warmly welcomed Shang Xi to eat.
Shang Xi's body was a little stiff. She held her son and walked downstairs. At this moment her son gave her a sense of security.
At least last night Gu Wen had kept talking to her in human form. To be honest, she didn't feel very scared or that it was very real.
But to say she wasn't afraid at all at this moment would be a lie.
After all, she wasn't filming a TV show or at an amusement park or comic convention.
"Human, what is your name?" asked a man with black brown ears. "I'm Black Tail."
"Just call me Shang Xi."
"I'm Red Tail!"
"I'm Green Tail."
"This is the food we made for you. Do you like it?"
In front of Shang Xi was a large plate. Inside was stewed potato and beef?
Except it was giant chunks of beef stewing whole potatoes...
Shang Xi unwittingly relaxed. She found they were nice people and seemed easy to get along with. She gradually calmed down.
"I noticed your Wolf Clan's ears and tails really do look a lot like wolves!"
As soon as she finished speaking...
The lively occasion suddenly became awkward.
After a long time, Black Tail finally scratched his nose and said, "Um, we are the Wolf Clan."
"I'm so sorry, so sorry." Shang Xi quickly apologized, embarrassed.
"No problem, awoo!"
Everyone was very enthusiastic and magnanimous. They started telling her about things concerning the Wolf Clan.
"Our Wolf Clan can't reproduce like you humans. Altogether we only number a few million. "
"Wolves only have one mate in their lifetime and only have cubs with their mate. We don't compromise. Most wolves never encounter their mate their whole life, let alone have cubs."
"But it's gotten much better in recent years. We've come down from the mountains. Some have fallen in love with pure humans and given birth to half wolf cubs. The clan will expand in the future."
Black Tail bashfully scratched his head, blushing. "I also want to find a pure human woman to spend my life with."
"Me too," the others echoed.
It was as if Shang Xi had opened another door to this world and saw a different kind of world.
"Only the master's home here has the spring water from the peak of Snow Mountain. When any family's cub turns four and a half, they are sent here to stay for half a year."
Shang Xi was surprised. "They have to drink the spring water continuously for half a year?"
"Yes, if cubs don't drink the cold spring during their developmental stage, they will die painfully in the end."
Shang Xi's heart tightened and she hugged her son tightly.
Luckily, luckily.
At this moment, looking at these wolf people who didn't fit into her human world at all, she didn't feel scared anymore.
Looking closely, except for the big ears and tails, they were no different from humans. They were uniformly tall with good looks.
She was 1.73 meters tall and considered herself one of the taller girls. Here she was the shortest.
"Please take good care of us in the future."
She said sincerely.
Now that her son was not an ordinary person, these clansmen could help him.
Fun fact: When wolf people take on pure human form, they only have human ears. At South Wind Manor, they only had wolf ears. They definitely don't appear with four ears!
