There were many wolves in the southern frontier, but Xiaobai was unique to Bai Wutong.
She had just finished handling some paperwork and rubbed her tired eyebrows. The familiar wolf howl was long and loud. Bai Wutong suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent.
With everyone stationed here, the wolves did not dare to approach easily. When they heard the wolves’ cries, the ignorant commoners and soldiers pricked up their ears warily to observe their surroundings and guard against any sneak attacks.
When Bai Wutong came out of the tent, everyone immediately bowed. However, they heard Bai Wutong shout in the direction of the wolf howl, “Xiaobai!”
Those who did not know better could not help but look up in confusion. Who was the Great Empress calling?
“Howl—”
Xiaobai’s response was even closer.
Bai Wutong looked happy. She had not heard wrongly!
She followed the sound and skirted around the crowd to a quiet wilderness.
It was dark deep in the grass. A black shadow rushed towards Bai Wutong at the speed of a whirlwind.
The summer wind blew against her face, and fireflies flew everywhere. The flames behind her and the bright moonlight mixed together. Xiaobai was like a bolt of lightning as it flicked its tongue excitedly and pounced at her.
Bai Wutong reached out her hands excitedly. “Xiaobai!!!”
It had been a while since they last met. Xiaobai was becoming more and more agile and domineering. Its impressive fur swayed in the wind, making it look valiant.
Xiaobai was very sensible. Knowing that she was pregnant and could not be hit, he braked in front of her and rubbed his furry head between Bai Wutong’s legs. His face was filled with the joy of reuniting after a long time.
Bai Wutong rubbed its smooth head and was overjoyed. “Why are you back?”
As soon as she finished speaking, another series of light footsteps came from the bushes.
Bai Wutong looked up in surprise and saw a beautiful gray wolf carefully approaching with four cute wolf cubs behind it. Xiaobai puffed out its chest proudly.
Among the four wolf cubs, two were gray and two were white. They had inherited their parents’ genes fairly.
They were not as vigilant as their mother. They had just weaned and their royal blue eyes were filled with curiosity about Bai Wutong.
Xiaobai walked forward and nudged the little wolves. Under their father’s encouragement, they jumped in front of Bai Wutong and sniffed left and right. They smelled a familiar scent on Bai Wutong and completely let down their guard. They stuck out their cute little tongues and licked Bai Wutong’s palm twice.
It was a numbing and itchy feeling. Bai Wutong felt as if she had seen Xiaobai when he was young. Her heart was about to melt.
She reached out and touched the cub. Seeing that she had not hurt the cub, Xiaobai’s wife walked over and nudged the back of Bai Wutong’s hand with her nose, as if to say, “Touch me too.”
Its eyes were different from Xiaobai’s sapphire-blue eyes. Instead, they were as clear and jade-green as lake water, like a beautiful jadeite.
It was no wonder that Xiaobai was mesmerized by her smooth fur and strong figure.
Bai Wutong gave the female wolf a name, Xiaolv.
A wolf cub climbed onto Bai Wutong’s shoe, a wolf cub bit the corner of her dress and played. Two more rolled in front of her, revealing their round stomachs.
The four wolf cubs were about the same size, and there was a slight difference between their eyebrows.
Bai Wutong named them one after another – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It was simple and easy to remember. Bai Wutong felt that she was a naming genius.
Bai Wutong looked at Xiaobai. “Are you coming back with me?”
Xiaobai nodded and stood up. Xiaolv and the wolf cubs followed behind it obediently, and he looked very much like the head of the family.
Bai Wutong smiled. “Let’s go to our new home..”
